THE OLD CAPITOL.

What to do with the old capitol
and the grounds surrounding ii con
tinues to be an interesting topic for
the press of the state; and it is quite
clear that it will be impossible to
create public sentiment in favor OF
alternating the historic property from
public uses
The latest suggestion is from Mis-
sissippi's greatest philanthropist,
Major R w Millsaps, which is that
the State donate the property for
the purpose of establishing a Con
federate Park; but falling in this he
offers to give 100000 towards a
fund 20 purchase the property from
the State and devote it to the same
purpose. This plan would not in
terfere with our suggestion that the
old capitol be preserved as a monu-
ment to Mississippi's former glory
and we hope that whatever DISPOSE
ton is made of the matter, this pur-
pose may be kept in view as being
| of first importance.
From the columns OF the Jackson
Daily News we take the following
news article on the subject:
Major r. w. Mil1saps, banker
/ founder of Millsaps College, and on,

eral philanthropists, makes "a sug

Daniel Baum. jr., OF Omaha. associated
with two friends from Chicago. has bought
the entire output OF an automobile manu-.

NolNe the purchase OF $500 automobiles,
ana Mr.. Baum says that while he has the
entire country for his field he will try to
put as many into the country tributary to
Omaha as possible.
MI. Baum returned Friday from Ander-
son, Ind, where he went with O.. w. Full
Ter and l.. p. Zinke Of Chicago and closed
a contract with the Speed Changing Pulley
company for the entire output OF their fac
tory for three years. This means that
$500 automobiles are to be delivered to
Mr.. Baum and his associates before March
l. 1910, and that the factory is to continue
running for three years, turning out auto
mobiles at the same rate during that time.
The company manufactures engines,
transmissions, complete chassis and is to
produce between now and March 1 2.500
~sixteen-horse power two-cylinder automo-
biles. They will have on the market for
next year t~hirty-five horsepower, four

The two cylinder car wnf be known as
the runabout with a detachable rumble
seat and baggage box and surry body TO
sell to the consumer for $3.50. with $50 ad-
ded for the surrey body. This is an indica-

cars. The touring car and roadster will
be sold under $500,
The car is called the De Tamble and the
Of the company which will control
the output is the Speeds Sales company Of

MISS HOTCHKISS CHAMPION
California Girl Makes Clean Sweep in
Tennis Tournament
HER RECORD is unqualified
SURPRISES that Made by Miss May
sutton OF Anybody Else-Her
victory PronOuneed strik-
ing one.

PHILADELPHIA, June @-Capturing
four cups, all emblematic Of the highest
honors in the lawn ennis world, Miss
Hazel Hotchktss OF Berkeley, Cal, made
a clean sweep today in the woman's ma
tional tournament at the Philadelphia
Cricket club. Miss Hotehkiss won her cup
yesterday in the final round, emitting her
to enter the challenge round today.
She won the woman's national singles
championship. defeating in the challenge
round Mrs. Barger-wallach Of New York;
she and Miss Rotch Of Boston won the
women's doubles championship. and In
partnership with Wallace r. johnson Of
the University Of Pennsylvania she took
the mixed doubles title.
This Is a record equslled not even by
Miss May sutton, the other California
star, who won only the singles champion
ship. Miss Hotchkiss' victory over Mrs.
Barger-Wallac was a hollow one. She
allowed last years champion six points In
the first set and one game in two sets.
In the mixed doubles the western girl
participated In a most striking victory, for
her formidable opponent, Miss Louise Ham
mond of New York, and Raymond d. Lit
tie, were beaten go, 60
In each case the victory was due to
superior placing, with no flukes to mar
1t, and the consensus Of critical opinion
is that Miss Hotchkiss is the greatest wo-
man player ever seen here. with the posi-
Bile exception OF Miss Sutton. with a
powerful backhand and forward drive she
is a lightning volleyer and overhead play
is stronger than Miss Sutton was when
the latter made her only appearance in the
east. Summary:
Singles, challenge round: Miss Hazel
Hotchkiss of California, challenger, beat
Mrs. Barger-W allach OF New York, holder,
60, 6-1.
Women doubles, final round: Miss Hotch-
kiss and Miss Rotch of Boston beat Miss
Green Of Philadelphia and Miss Moyes,
Canadian champion, 6-l, 81.
Mixed doubles, final round: Miss Hotch-
kiss and Wallace F. Johnson OF the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania beat Miss Louise

For the second time this season the fast
Continental base ball team went down to
defeat before the Omaha Field Club team,
the final score being 8 to z. Edward Ma
lone carried ava batting honors for the
day by Strengthening out one OF Cross
twisters for three bags.
The fielding honors went to Murphy, at
short for the Continentals. he nabbing a
hot liner off Houck's bat and putting the
ball over to second, where Creighton had
a short lead and was tagged before he
could move out of his tracks, thus COM
plotting a neat double.
Cross, for the Continentals, allowed but
five hits, but these came In a bunch and as
the support behind him weakened for a
brief period In the sixth the damage was
done beyond repair. Faber. for the Field
club did even a trifle better, allowing but
four hits and these were scattered.
A notable feature OF the game was the
number of women present. The Field club
grounds are ideal and the spacious grand
stand is usually filled to its capacity, as
the public is admitted without charge and
fast games are always TO be seen. Ben

It is the opinion OF those who have fol-

team OF 1909 has been the best and most
united team Doane has had In over twenty
years. The prospects for the next year are
fine, as the old players ave signified their
