But what will haunt me to the last
day of my life was the girls face. No
longer that of a young child, it pre-
scented rather the aspect of a mans
a man who had spent years in evil liv-

the puffy skin, bespoke life of de-
bauchery; while over the coarsened
features were stamped the imprints
of the most devilish passions that
ever ruled over the flesh. And in an

awakened easily the next morning.
She seemed stupid and sleepy and
complained of evil dreams. Then she
tried to get into the cell which he
had occupied, and when we prevent

She did not seem to recognize us at
all, and she began to mutter in an out
landish speech that none of us could
understand. Then she would fall
asleep for a moment wake up her
self again. She kept sleeping and
waking. and each time she was diff.

said that he was a cross between

accountable for the production Of SO

Brodsky was at once the most un-

Outside the confines of the hospital,
where he was all-dominating, he might
have been a small storekeeper for all

he spent his entire spare time reading

Yet he was the most audacious of
men by reason of the experiments

HELPING new YORK
TO THE DETRIMENT
OF OTHER PORTS
Philadelphia Shipping Firm Files Pro-
test With President, and Latter
orders Investigation.

Washington, Nov. 3.-President
Taft's recent statement that he did not
believe the immigration facilities in
New York should be so increased to
encourage the steamship companies
in continuing to concentrate their i'm
migration business in that port, has
called out a protest from a shipping
firm in Philadelphia that the trunk
line railroads and the Transatlantic
steamship companies have also been
concentrating their import and export
business in New York to the detriment
of other ports.
Tender treatment of importers and
more favorable conditions in New
York custom house are alleged in the
complaint to the president from the
Philadelphia shipping firm.
President Taft believes that the i'm
port and export business is controlled
by the cheapness of transportation
rates and that shippers will continue
to take the route which is cheapest.
The president does not believe it to
be the part of the government to intro
duce artificial barriers to prevent this
natural flow of trade.
The president has directed that the
matter be fully investigated by the GUS
toms division of the treasury depart
ment.

CASE To BE TAKEN
TO supreme court
Court of Appeals Will be Asked to De-
eide Whether Municipality Has
Right to Issue Bonds for Mississippi
Normal.t

Chancellor T. A. Wood has dissolved
the injunction granted by Judge Paul
b. Johnson restraining the city of Hat
tiesburg from issuing bonds for the
erection of the Mississippi Normal, and
the case will be taken to the supreme
court for final settlement.
We'll, Roth & Company, of Cincin-
natl, successful bidders for both city
and county bonds, before making the
purchase, raised the question as to
whether a municipality had right,
under the constitution, to issue bonds
for the erection of buildings to be used
by the state, and in order to test the
matter it was decided to carry the
case before the supreme court. Mr..
5. E. Travis, representing the taxpay-
ers of Hattiesbuhg, applied to Judge
Paul Johnson for an injunction pro-
hibiting the city of Hattiesburg from
Issuing the bonds, and the injunction
was accordingly granted. The case
was tried Saturday before Judge T. A.
Wood, at Gulfport, and the Injunction
was dissolved
A transcript of the records In the
case is now being prepared and will
be submitted to the supreme court
within the next few days, with the re-
quest that the case be advanced on
the docket for immediate hearing. and
it is believed the request will be grant
ed.
Judge Johnson and Mr.. Travis stat
ed this morning that all the states of
the Union except Ohio and Nebraska
had already passed upon similar cases,
and decided that such a bond issue
was legal. The supreme court of the
United States, however, has reversed
the decision of the Nebraska court,
holding that such an act was uncon-
stitutional.
The case will be taken before the
supreme court merely to test the con-
stitutionality of the law, as this suit
was proposed in friendly way and
Will be fought out on these lines.

IMMENSE CROWDS AT
JACKSON TUESDAY

Jackson, Miss, Nov. a.-Opinions
are at variance as to whether Tues
days crowd in Jackson exceeded that
OF one year ago, the latter occasion
having been made notable by Presi-
dent Taft's visit to the capital.
Whether Barnum and Bailey and
the State Fair, or President Taft and
the State Fair proved the best draw
ing card will perhaps always remain
an open question, since there is no
way of getting accurate statistics on
the subject.
The Barnum & Bailey circus played
to one of the largest crowds in it's
history at the afternoon performance.
and the sale Of tickets was stopped
before the performance started. The
big tent holds over 10000 people. and
fully three thousand persons were
either standing or seated on the hip
podrome course, making it necessary
to cut out the chariot races.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS

Will ship $4,000
BOXES OF ORANGES

Cameron, La, Nov. 3.-Twenty-five
thousand or more boxes of Louisiana
oranges, grown along the gulf coast in
Cameron parish, will be shipped out OF
here during the present season. This
is a conservative estimate of the or
ange growers of this section, in which
Secretary Sales-Manager Albert Rib
beck, of the Calcasieu Parish Fruit
and Truck Growers, of Lake Charles,
who was over here last week, concurs.
Mr.. Ribbeck will handle the sales Of
the oranges through the Lake Charles
office of the big association and he
prophesies that the demand for these
Cameron-grown oranges will easily ex-
eeed the supply. They are of the
Louisiana sweet variety, easily the
equal of any oranges on the market,
and will bring from $500 to $3.50 per
box in st. Louis, Kansas City and 9TH
er markets.
Heretofore the Cameron fruit grow
ers nave sold thousands of boxes of
these oranges at $1.0O to s1.75 per box.
hence it can be figured out that though
their new arrangement with the asso-
citation they will reap a big harvest
this season.
The shipping season will be inaugu-
rated in the very near future. From
here the oranges will be shipped to
Lake Charles by boat, and from there
they will be loaded into cars, for ship
ment to the big markets of the country.
Orange culture will be given a new
impetus as result of the present scc-
cessful season, and it is no exsggera-
ton to make the prediction that fu-
ture, years will find this parish at the
head of the list in cultivating the
fruit.
