Rybinsk railway to turn the gramo-
phone to practical use, says the Path
finder, for the board has announced
its intention to set up huge gramo-
phone at the Moscow station of the
line, so that the arrival and departure
of every train can be announced clear
ly to the travelling public. At the
same time, the gramophone will sound
the bell thrice, as is usual, before a
train starts on its journey. AS over
70 per cent. of the people of European

ture before it, If only it can be made

YELLOW PINE
CASES settled
In Suits Involving About $1,0o0,00C
Railroads Agree to Pay Compro-

WASHINGTON, September 30.--An-
other series of the so-called yellow
pine reparation cases" has been set
tied by the issuance of the approval
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. to the terms of adjustment
agreed upon by the counsel for the
complainants and the railroads.
The cases were instituted from the
Yellow Pine Association territory, in
Guiding the states of Louisiana, Mis-

involve, in the aggregate approximate
ly $1,000,00O. They have been settled
on the basis of the payment by the
railroad companies of 67 per cent OF
the provable claims of the shippers.
No date is fixed by the commission
for the settlement of the claims, but
the railroads are required By the or

GULF SECTION
MAKING HEADWAY
In Repairing the Damage Done by the
Recent Hurricane-Peean Growers
Suffered Heavily.

Special to The Mems
GULFPORT, Miss, September 30.-
Citizens of this section are making
good headway with the work of repair
ing the damage inflicted by the tropi-
cal hurricane ten days ago, and which
caused property loss, according to
conservative estimates, of nearly three
million dollars.
Much Of the damage sustained along
the gulf coast proper can be replaced
at a comparatively small cost. For
instance, many Of the bath houses
and pierms whipped out of position
by the wind were thrown upon the
beach, and the timber can be again
used. The same is true of small boats
and schooners, which can be re-
stored to seaworthy shape without in
volving heavy expenditures.
The crop loss is perhaps the most
serious, and the horticulturists, pecan
growers and orchard owners were ex
ceedingly hard hit. Owners of pecan
orchards in many instances had al
ready contracted for the delivery OF
what promised to be the most bounti
full crop in the history of the Missis
sippi coast.
The work of repairing the Cult
Coast Traction Company's line and the
tracks of the Louisville & Nashville
railway is making steady progress
but it is doubtful if either of these
roads resumes operations within les.
than a month.

Governor Noel has been petitioned to

Opening MOST
BEAUTIFUL one
Picturesque Scene of MiIIin-

Numerous indeed are the pretty hats
seen this season at the Elite Millin-
cry parlors. In the windows, a hint
of the pretty hats within this estab-
lishment is given by beautiful even
ing hat of light blue moire, with a tam
crown and a chiffon ruching around
the crown, finished with a pom pom
and black velvet facing. Another
gage hat hat is of the oldest shape,
that of a mans beaver, of black velvet
with white swans down and pansies
for the trimming.
On entering the parlors the very
first hat that greets you is an immense
white silk beaver, slightly tilted on
the side with a white pom pom and
white airgettes.
A pretty effect in the Russian Tur-
ban is of brown and white swans
down trimmed in soft airgettes. and
set way down on the face. A lovely
Marquise shape is shown in Persian
silk of blue, with velvet top, blue bow
and bucket, while a row of silvery
velvet leaves lie flat on the brim. An
other very attractive and new style
is the hat that turns directly in the
back. One is shown in the Wisteria
color draped crown, and has an i'm
mense Wiseria bow on the front.
For dressy wear, there are the beav-
ers in any color with the long willow
plume, and others with the airgette
and pom pom.
Among the popular shapes are the
Colonial and French Sailors, very sm-
pie, but exquisite.
For everyday wear there is the
chic Hello" or continental sailor.
The girls and little tots are well taken
care of also, for there are many pretty
shapes for them.
Since early this morning these par.
lors have been swarming with the
elite of Hattiesburg. The opening will
continue this evening and all day to
morrow.

Two ROADS Will
NOT RESIST TAXES
Illinois Central and Yazoo and Missis.
sippi Valley viii Pay UP, Accord
ing to Counsel.

Sphcidl 10 The Nsos
JACKSON, Miss, September 30
The Illinois Central and Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroad companies
will not resist the payment of taxes
on the basis of assessment as fixed
by the railroad commission a few
weeks ago, as had been previously an.
nounced.
This statement Is made on author
ity of Judge Edward Mayes, of the
company's counsel, who has made a
thorough investigator of the matter,
and who has decided, evidently. that
the amount of the increase in the
assessed valuation of the coEipany's
property in this state would not be
worth the hard fight which would
probably be required to effectually
resist it, should tnat be possible.
There is a difference of about $S.
100000 between the figures as sub
mitted by the company as what they
believed to be fair, and those finally
fixed by the commission, although
the company would not have been
dissatisfied with a duplication of last
years assessment, which was only
increased slightly more than $1,000,
600. The determination of the com
pany to make no fight means that
several hundred thousand dollars will
be in the state treasury much earlier
than had been anticipated.
