That New York is one OF the CT
ties that make a strong impression
upon the visitor has long been adj
mitted. The impression may be agree
able Or dIsagreeable; but it is not
easily forgotten, breaches the Provi-
dence Journal. At time when it is
crowded with guests. when its pic
turesque water front is vivid with
shipping Of every kind, naval and
merchant, when its streets are gay
with bunting. when its skyscrapers
blaze at night with thousands Of cleo
trio lights. it certainly seems to be
no mean or ordinary city. There are
those who say that its new skyline
a in itself more striking, If not more
beautiful. than the old was at its best.
Yet It must be admitted that to most
observers the general effect is not
one Of beauty. Indeed. to the mag
NATIVE mind there is a touch Of ter
Tor in it's outward aspect. as Of
greedy monster lying in walt for hu-
man victims. like zola's Paris.

government has given to the national

state troops By the general govern
me1t has increased from year % year,
until it has grown from S11, 1az.06 in
1890, to the magnificent sum OF $780,
720 In 1908.
From 1890 through 1900 federal ap-
preparations TO the Georgia troops,
chiefly In the shape Of military sup
plies and equipment, stood at practi-
caliy the same figure with the single
exception that In 1897 there was an
sxtra appropriation under which the
troops were furnished with 1,138 rides
OF 45-caiher, valued at S17,07O.
In 1901 these federal appropriations
begun to bound upward, the amount
given Georgia for that year being SET,
61437, or two and a half times what
1t had previously been.
There was another increase in 1881
when four-gun light artillery bat
terry, furnished to the Chatham ArtiI-
lery, Of Savannah, valued at $57,s0O
and $4,000 given to encampment pur-
poses, brought the total up to $685.

The banner year so far has been
1908, when the federal government
gave the Georgia troops $51,040.44 for
usual equipment, S54,S27.18 for extra
equipment, $4,000 for eHcampment
purposes and $78,S62.12 worth OF new
30-caliber Springfield rifles, the kind
now In use in the regular army This
latter item is what brought the total
up to so high figure.
For 1909 the Georgia troops have
been given $165,667, of which S5,S27 10
is for extra supplies and $57 $50, the
cost of a second light artillery battery
furnished to the Governors Light Ar
tillery of Atlanta.
State appropriations to the troops
during the same period have been less
than half as much. For 1890 the
amount was only $1,000; for the next
two years $4,000; for the next two
10000 each, and the two following
$4,000 each. For 1897 and 1898 it was
$4,000 each, but for 1899 and 1880
1t dropped to $4,000, though in 1900
there was made a deficiency appropri-
alton OF $40, 900.
In 1908 and 1909 the state gave its
troops SCI, 1000 for each year. or late
years the state appropriations have
been used only for the payment OF
salaries, armory rents and other like
expenses Of the military establish

expenses have bene met by the fed

Mississippi. Playgoers will be
shown what has proved to be the
most successful American play of the
last twenty years, with the possible
exception Of The Man OF the Hour n
The two plays are not, however, to
be compared as to kind, for the latter
was dramatic work OF special signif-
icance as to the time, while IA GEN

pure and simple, telling a wholesome
and domestic tale that is entirely
likely and possible, and using to tell
it the special atmosphere Of Wash

The story of "A Gentleman From
Mississippi is of an old-schooI south
erner who, after forty years Of use
full life in mis- native state, is per-
suaded that he can do his country
some service by accepting the nomi-
nation for United States senator.
With no guile he accepts and is
elected. What he does not know is
that a ring of senators and lobbyists
has made. his election possible in or
der that his vote may aid them in a
scheme for their own enrichment But
he engages as private secretary a
spry, bright, cIean-handed and clean
minded young newspaper man, and

the new senator the game, the way to
play it, and the way to win honestly.
An incidental love affair of unusual
charm is between the senator's young
er daughter and the newspaper man
turned secretary.

were now in the busy thorough
fares of city, where shadowy pas
sengers passed and repassed;
where shadowy carts and coaches
battled for the way, and all the
strife and tumult of real city
were. 1t was made plain enough,
by the dressing of the shops, that
here, too, it was Christmas time
again; but it was evening, and the
streets were lighted up.
The Ghost stopped at a certain
warehouse door and asked Scrooge
il he knew it.

They went in. At sight of an old
gentleman in a Welsh wig, sitting
behind such high desk that if he
had been two inches taller he must
have knocked his head against the
ceiling, Scrooge cried in great ex.
element:
Why, it's old Fezziwig! Bless
his heart; it's Fezziwig, alive
again."
Old Fezziwig laid down his pen
and looked up at the clock, which
pointed to the hour of seven. He
rubbed his himself, from his shoes
to his organ of benevolence, and
called out in a comfortable, oily,
rich, fat, jovial voice:
"Yo no, there! Ebenezer!

young man, came briskly in, ac-
companied by his fellow-'prentice.

You wouldn't believe how those
two fellows went at it! They
charged into the street with the
