Miss Leah Guerra, as Rose, the daugh-
ter OF the house, and the heroine of the
play, rendered an artistic Interpretation
of TIE part that was particularly re-
freshing. She was natural, unassum-
ing and pleasing, and carrying cut one
of the leading roles. lntereso in she play
did not fall for once, but was kept up TO
a high pitch Of realism throughout.
Miss Lucy Blanchard was given the
difficult role of the step-mother, and
! rose to the dramatic cimaXes OF her part
in a manner that stamped her as an ac-
tress of the emotional, and the subtle
lines were carried out with every re-
gard to the part. Miss Blanchard's in
terpretation and the success OF her act

evening.
Miss Idalie Maffe was exceptionally
pleasing in the part Of Polly; sympa-
thetc and responsive, her playing was

Miss Eugcnia Moran, the house

tail, and a better compliment could not
be had. Every word and every gesture
was true and carried its own realism.

L. & N. Catalpa Treas Growing Fast.

Reports from the Catalpa forests
planted by the Louisville G Nashville
Railroad Company on the highlands,
east of Mobile, are that most of the
trees are growing rapidly. The rail-
road company foreseeing that there
would be a scarcity of cross-te timber,
devoted an extensive area to the growth
of the Catalpa, which is noted for its
lasting qualities and its rapid growth.
The trees, while yet young, will in few
years be large enough for use.

Deputy Auditor Thompson reports
that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, in order to get right and stay
right, has paid into the treasury, through
the Auditors Department, the $500
state license fee provided by the act Of
1910. This is a change and really cheap
ems to the company the cost of doing
business in Mississippi, as the one pay
ment secures immunity for the entire
field, whereas formerly each agency in
the state was required to pay privilege
license of $50, while individual sales.
men were forced to pay over the sum OF
1fO. The present LAWS therefore rather
more liberal, not only to the Singer, but
to similar companies operating IN the
state.

THE LAURELS."

For the benefit of the debt fund Of
the Catholic Church OF Our Lady Of the
Gulf, the five-act sensational melodrama,
"Under the Laurels," was presented at
St. Stanislaus College Hall. Saturday
evening, by Mr.. Leon Grainer's com
pany of players. The seating capacity
of the large theatre was ovetsaxed and
many spectators were compelled TO stand
in the aisles to the discontinue OF those
seated.
"Under the Laurels," is somewhat
a heavy play, but the company OF play
ers were equal to the occasion and car
ried it through to a complete consuma-
ton leaving nothing to be desired. The
play was staged and produced under the
personal direction of Mr.. Grainer, and
his excellent work was much il Evidence
throughout the evening. Mr. Walter
Collins, of New Orleans, was master OF
mechanics.
The following was the programme Of
the evening:

AS Frank Colewood, Mr.. J. Claxton
Riley was at his customary best, and
displayed to an advantage his marked
ability for the stage. At tiaT, ne was
particularly strong and won the sym
pathy OF the audience throughout the
performance.
Mr.. T. Ray Cary essayed an unusual
part, that Of comedy, and it was evident
that he we'll knew what the author Of
the play had expected Of the character
he impersonated with so much realism
and little touches Of originality here and
there that was indeed pleasing and
clever, to say the least.
Mr.. Jos. McGinn had the difficult role
of the william, part always trying and
requiring much study and work, yet the
least appreciative. However, the part
did not detract from his ability to carry
out the part, and his delivery was splen-
did, his lines being rendered with voice
and clearness of articulation. His eff
forts added largely to the success of the
play.
Mr.. Albert Blanchard, heretofore tax =
ing minor parts in the company's pro-
duction, had much to do in ''Under tn e
Laurels," and he showed decided i'm
provement in his work, with promise for
greater results in the near future.
Mr.. Theron Combel, the irresistible
black face comedian, fitted the part
| typicalIy, not overriding mis- lines, which
too often is the failing OF such charac-
ter. AS the dignified old colored man
servant of the family he was essentially
a success.
Mr.. James Vairin was an ideal leader

Governor Noel has appointed w. c..
Wells, Jr., of Jackson, to sit as special
circuit Judge for Judge Barrett, of the
coast district, in the case of Mrs. Alvin
O'Pry against Judge w. H. Hardy, his
immediate predecessor, owing to the dis
qualification of Judge Barrett. The
case reverts back to a period some three
years ago, when Mrs. O'Pry, who had
acted as assistant and stenographer to
Judge Hardy during the time that he
acted as one Of the code commissioners,
brought suit for a balance of salary
which she claimed was due, on verbal
promise of Judge Hardy, which claim it
appears Judge Hardy repudiated. The
case was tried once before and came to
the Supreme Court, where it was re-
yersed on technicalities, and will now be
taken up and tried again at the ensuing
term of court in Harrison County.

MINERS HOLDWA6[
CONFERENCE

Cincinnati. O., March 8.-The
joint wage conference of the miners
and operators of the central compe-
titive field, which adjourned at In
dianapolis two weeks ago after
futile effort to reach satisfactory
agreement on wages and conditions
OF labor for the year beginning April
1, resumed its deliberations here to-
day with the. prospects that an un-
Outstanding may be reached and the
threatened strike averted. The dis
trict involved in the dispute comprises
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
The main point in dispute is de-
mand by the miners for an increase
in wages. President Lewis. of the
United Mine Workers, is holding out
for the basic rate of 81 ton for
the miner, who now gets 80 cents.
This Is a demand for more than a
ten per cent increase. The operators
say that such an increase would be
ruinous to their business. The chief
contenders for the operators are the
eastern Ohio men, who are fighting
hard against an increase.
1t now appears probable that the
present conference may agree upon
compromise, which will give the
miners a rate of 95 cents ton. In
addition to the demand for an in
crease in wages the miners also ask
for a half holiday on Saturday.
Whatever agreement is reached at
the joint conference will be submit
ted for ratification to special ma
tional convention of the United Mine
Workers which has been called to
meet in this city next week.

MAKING BIDS FOR
LAND SHOW
CHICAGO WILL SEND COMMITTEE
TO INTEREST ALL CONNER
CIAL BODIES OF NORTHWEST
IN NOVEMBER MEETING.

Chicago, March 8-The north
west is to be represented at the next
Chicago land show. At a meeting
of the representatives of the bank
ing houses, land companies and rail-
roads interested in development of
the northwest held at the Midday
club, Chicago, today, it was decided
to appoint a committee to interest
all the commercial clubs and state
organizations in the big land show
to be held in Chicago next Novem-
Der.
1t was the opinion Of those present
that great many people who might
have been interested in lands in the
northwest were diverted to other
parts Of the country that had sub
stantial exhibits at the last land
show. It has been planned to have
the northwest better represented in
the next land show than any other
section Of the United States.

APPLES TOO HIGH, HE SAYS
j. l.. Dumas Addresses Farmers a
Hillyard Institute.

Hillyard, Wash, March 8.-The
farmers institute, held yesterday in
Moore's hall, was the most success
full ever held in this city. More than
100 farmers attended. Lunch was
served in the hall by the Business
Mems association. Those taking part
in the program were: DR.. S. B. Nell
son, Ernest Kelly, A. A. Kelly, Geo.
Martin and j. l.. Dumas.
Mr.. Dumas in his lecture on "The
Future of Our Fruit Market said:
''The price of apples is too high. I
believe the grower can cut the pri-
ces in two and still receive a good
profit The railroad rate, too, should
be reduced. The present rate of so
cents hundred on fruit shipped
from here to New York should be cut
to rs cents and not work hardship
on the railroads. Then there are
commission agents. Their power over
the producers should be limited. I
do not know how this can be accom-
plished unless an organization such
as the orange growers in California
have is adopted. Apple growers are
about 20 years behind the times.
1.-THE fruit market is bound to
grow in the future. The demand for
apples Is growing with the growth
of the cities. Compare this growth
with the increase in the amount Of
apples produced and it may easily be
seen that there is little chance Of the
market becoming overloaded. The
apple crop Of 1909 was one-third
that of 1906. II we can regulate the
manner of distribution we can easily
sell ten times the presnt crop and
still not satisfy the demand"

REVEAL SECR[TSOF
''AIbRhY GANG

Council Bluffs, Ia, March g.
According to reports now in circula-
tion the trial of John c. Maybray in
the United States district court here
will bring to light the whole inside
story of the alleged "swindle syndi-
cate" and lay bare to the world the
inner workings Of a conspiracy by
which more than hundred victims
were fleeced out Of a total sum Of
money estimated at nearly $1,000
600. The jury for the case has al
ready been drawn and the trial is
set to begin day after tomorrow.
It is said that several men who
acted as "steerers" for the alleged
swindle syndicate and who were
amoug the eighty-four indicted with
Maybray by the Federal grand jury
here last fall, will turn states evil
dence at the trial and reveal the
methods of the gang.
Maybray and his alleged associ-
ates' were indicted ON a charge of
conspiring to defraud through the
use of the United States mails in the
promotion of fake horse races and
wrestling matches. Victims in
eighteen states, the territory OF
Alaska, and the Dominion of Canada
were named in the indictment, indi-
eating the wide range of territory
over which the members of the gang
are alleged to have piled their voca-
ton. The sums lost by the victims
varied from $500 to 100000, the
latter sum having been placed on a
fake horse race, it Is said, by Mis-
souri, banker.
AS a basis of operation, the gang
used, according to the indictment,
the cities of Burlington, Davenport.
Council Bluffs, Iowa; st. Louis, Sc
attic, Denver, Little Rock and New
Orleans, to which places it is alleged
victims were taken by the numerous
''steerers The indictment named
eighty-five persons who are alleged
to have been victims of the gang,
most Of whom live in the western
states.
1t is said that the system by
which the gang worked will be
brought out in all its details at the
trial. The evidence, it is stated,
will show how the gang first got its
eye on a prospective victim, how the
"steerer" succeeded in drawing him
on, how the gang finally got hold
of him and how he was fleeced.
Furthermore, it is stated, the evil
dence will show how the gang oper-
ated for its own protection, how the
athletic contests were arranged, and,
in fact, how the heads of the alleged
conspiracy were able to secure as
aids and allies a large number of
athletes, horsemen, wrestlers and
other sporting men of more Or less
wide reputation, together with nu-
merous other men said to have long
criminal records. Every move of the
gang from it's first inception until
its dissolution will be brought out
and testimony of a highly sensa-
tional nature will mark the case as
one Of the most important and far
reaching criminal operations the
country has ever known.
