The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-10-14

The thriving town of Hattersheim,
in Hessee, has declared war on wo-
men gossips. Scandalmongering wo-
men have played such havoc with the
domestic peace of the community that
the burgomaster has resorted to the
extreme of issuing a municipal proc
lamation designed to check the evil
One of the penalties he announces is
but exceptional cases to people who
involve themselves in scandal prose
cutions. The police have been in
structed to compile a list of these
persons and warn landlords and ten
ants against them.

Unless there is a change in his
plans, MIR. Oscar Hammerstein will
break ground for his new London
opera house the beginning of next
week. Musical London, as a result,
is rejoicing in the prospect of an
opera war more serious and strenu-
GUS than the liveliest phases of the
lorg rivalry between the Metropoli-
tan and Manhattan opera houses in
New York. Musical peace in Gotham
merely heralds a louder clash of har-
mony in London, with this difference,
that the English public at the present
stage of education cannot be relied
upon to support two, much less three
rival Impressions. Convent garden
managers do not seem to fear the in
vasion of Hammerstein so much, for.
of course, it will always have royal
patronage. But Mr.. Hammerste Gin
will have to reckon with Thomas
Beecham, whose efforts to popularize
opera in the last year at the Drury
Lane theatre and his majesty theatre,
have achieved a considerable degree
of success. Mr.. Beecham has pur-
chased land for the erection of an
opera housee which will have a res
taurant and beautiful grounds at
tached, and as he was on the ground
first, it is interesting to know the
outcome.

A new tax which may have an i'm
portant effect on the composition of
the Russian army has been prepared
by the Council of Ministers, and will
be presented to the duma next month
1t levies five rubles annually for four
years from the age of 81 on persons
due for CONSUMPTION whose military
service the government does not wish
to use. The new tax will be applied
at discretion in European Russia,
and evidently is intended to substi-
tute money payment for military
service by Jews. The question will
be left to the duma, whose attitude
may be judged by it's decision last
session that Jews should not be eligi-
BILE as officers in the army medical
corps. 1t is estimated that the tax
will at the start bring in from ten to
twelve million rubles.
