OIL AND GAS FOUND
 IN MISSISSIPPI

Jackson. Miss, May 24-(SpeciaL)- Slowly. but surely, Mississippi is getting nearer to oil and commercial gas. Every now and then comes a report of the discovery of one or the other in some county of the state, and the only trou- ble so far has been to strike the lead or main vein. Even here in the city of Jackson gas that burns when a match is applied has been found and that when boring artesian well on the Edwards House grounds. Companies have been formed in several counties for Nevelop- ing finds of oil or gas and a good many hard-earned dollars have been chunked into holes in the ground a thousand or more feet deep.
 The latest gas discovery is on the plant alton of Dr. James H. Watson on Honey Island, Holmes county. There a well was being bored and when few hundred feet below the surface a solid rock that could not be penetrated by the auger was struck. The casing was drawn up a few feet when without warning there was a rush of gas, water and mud to the su- face and several feet into the air
 One of the workmen struck a lighted match to the hole and now he is a man of experience that is more profitable to him than would be year at school, having been badly burned about the hands before he could get out of the way.
 Experts have given it as their opin- ion that the same vein of oil that has made Beaumont, Tex, and Jennings. La, famous crosses under the Mississippi river and that it will yet be struck on this side. Groupings have been found in Jones, Clarke, Claiborne, Holmes and oth- CT counties and scores of men of means have put their money into corporations that have or will conduct thorough in- vestigations with a view of finding oil. gas or other merchantable stuff if it is here

week by some of Birminghams best talent. It reads as follows:
 "The concert given at Baraca hall on Tuesday evening last is one of the most talked of events of the season. Never before in the history of East Lake and seldom in Birmingham has such 0 gath ering of musicians been known Those taking part in the programme were Mrs. Harriett Wiswell O'Neil, Miss Stribling, Mrs. Beggs, Miss Eargood, MT and Mrs. Chalifoux MT. Hehin, MT. Gillespie and MT. Cox. Each one was at his or her best and the number of encores given showed the appreciation of the audience. This was one of Mrs. O'Neil's last appearances in Birmingham, and never has she been greeted with more enthusiasm. Her gra- cious manner, as well as her beautiful voice, has endeared her to all who know her, and 1t Is with real regret that Br- mingham sees her leave for New York in June. Later she goes to Europe to study for grand opera and those who have heard her sing feel that her suc- cess is assured. In addition to a large gathering from East Lake, quite num- Der of Birmingham people were present at this concert.
 On the evening of the concert all those with Judge and Mrs Feagin, were de- lightfully entertained at dinner by Miss Woolf at the home of Mrs. T. J. Jones'"

One of the unique menus recorded this season is that arranged by M. Escoffier, the chef of the Hotel Carlton, London, in honor of the Wrights. It was an aerial menu" and consisted of plover eggs disguised by a coating of butter and made to look like tiny balloons. with eordage around them and baskets below. A motor driven aeroplane, which the Wright brothers used in 1903 for their first flight in the air, formed the center piece.

 o month of May
 With flowers gay
 And millinery display
 And woodland lay, With us we pray That you will stay
 Until the summers passed away; Then we will sing our roundelay, And of your charms we will convey The thoughts that in our hearts now lay, Of leafy way And springs array Of sylvan scene and orchard gay; Ohi say, Won't you stayT' We crown you Queen, O month O May! If the suggestion Is adopted of speak, ing to Mars,> and woman happens to be the first to communicate with the far off planet, her first question will probably be: 'Is my hat on straight?" There is nothing so popular in foot wear as the beautiful bronze slippers that my lady is wearing nowadays. No sum- mer outfit Is quite complete without them, and they have the virtue of econ- omy as well as beauty. The man who wrote "Ta-ra-ra Boom de-ay," Paul Stanley, was very ambitious to succeed as a composer of grand opera. A story is told of him that shows how his ambitions became humber as he grew older-like many another.
 Upon being questioned about his ideas on the subject, he humorously said
 "A mans ambitions dwindle as he gets along in life, like girls matrimonial aims. At 16 a girl is satisfied with noth- ing short of fairy prince;
 At 20 sine is resigned to a millionaire duke;
 At 25 a member of Congress will do; "At 30 a country minister will answer nicely; While at S5 she will take anything l from a song writer down."

upon the body of citizens from which
the jurors are drawn, gradually ac-
quainting it with the principles and
objects of the criminal laws and the
methods by which they are enforced,
thereby intoxicating a respect for good
laws and developing critical intelli-
gence as to defective or unjust leg
islation which must favorably affect
public sentiment and eventually the
law making authority. The effect OF
a serious recognition by the citizen
of the supremacy of law, it need hardly
be said is of the utmost value in the
promotion of civil order and the pro-
lection of national and private inter-
ests.
AS the federal grand jury of this
Territory you are the representatives
of the community in the matter of in
vestigating charges of offenses against
the laws of the United States, and
such information as may come before
you either through the prosecuting Of
| ficers of this court or the knowledge
of your members or in any other way,
tending to show the infraction of such
laws. Your duty in these matters is
o responsible one, not only that those
persons in relation to whom there is
sufficient prima facie evidence to sup
port charge of crime, may be indict-
ed for the trial thereof, but also that
such persons against whom the infor-
nation which you may be able to
reach is insufficient, may be discharg-
ed free of suspicion or loss of repu-
tation; the latter case the rule of Sc
crecy becomes an important element.
With amplification of the admoni-
ton to secrecy Judge Dole proceeds to
give further advice of the regulation
order, as to the presumption of inno-
cence, the exclusive jurisdiction of or
lenses against the laws of the Unit
ed States committed within the Ter
ritory of Hawaii or upon the high seas,
etc. He then makes the following de-
liverance on the latest phase of moral
outlawry developing here:
PROTECTION OF WOMEN.
: | am informed by the District Attor-
ney that several indictments were
found by the grand jury for the Octo-
Der 1908 term, charging certain per-
sons with the importation of women
for purposes OF prostitution. would
call your attention to the Importance
of the law of which this is a violation.
Where individuals or companies take
up such an enterprise for the sake of
profit, it is an attack not only upon
the marriage status but also against
the honorable status of women, as the
practice OF prostitution, whether indi-
Vldually or under the management OF
Others, is hostile to that idea of chas-
