ANTI-VARDAMAN
 COMPACT MADE OPPOSITION CANDIDATES READY TO BE SACRIFICED TO BEAT
 FORMER GOVERNOR.
Believed That the Next Vote Will Show Material Change in the
 Mississippi Deadlock.

Jackson, Miss, Feb 4.--For one time since the balloting for United States senator was undertaken by the Democratic caucus of the Mississippi legislature, that which had been pre- dicted, really came to pass
 It had been stated early in the day that at least one of the opposition candidate would be withdraw and C. H. Alexander of Jackson was picked as the sacrifice.
 Shortly after noon 8 caucus of the anti-Vardaman men was held in the senate chamber. This was attended by all the opposition candidates and ninety of their supporters.
 The four candidates, Percy, Alexan- der, Kyle and Byrd. made patriotic addresses in which they stated they were ready for the slaughter if tae majority of their friends deemed it best that the elimination process be begun, all pledging themselves to use every effort towards the defeat of Var damanism.
 Mir. Alexander had thirty-four votes on the last ballot of the night before. The last ballot today shows that eight of them went to Vardaman, ten to Percy, fourteen to Kyle, one to Byrd and one to Critz. This last vote put vardaman within ten votes of the nomination but the opposition claim they expected as much or more.
 The caucus adjourned until Monday night. but the chances are there will not be another ballot before Wednes- day night, as enough members will be at Mardi Gras to break the quorum Monday. and will hardly return % Jackson before Wednesday. The first senatorial caucus today resulted as follows:
 vardaman. 75; Kyle, 25; Percy, 45; Byrd, 22: Street, I Alexander, 2; Humphreys, 1. Total. 174; necessary to choice, SS.
 The second senatorial ballot:
 vardaman. IS; Percy, 45; Kyle, 27; Byrd, IT: Street, 3; scattering, 4 Total, 174 necessary to choice, Ss.
 Adjourned until Monday night.

on my face, at least l felt it myself in
the lightness of my step, in the con-
tentedness of my heart with all Of
life, in my general assurance that all
in the world meant well toward me
and that everything in the world
would do well by me.
AS to Elizabeth Churchill, it might
have been in line with a Maryland Gus
tom had she generally been known as
Betty; but Betty she never was called,
although that diminutive was applied
to her aunt, Jennings, twice as large
as she, after whom she had been
named. Betty implies a snub nose;
EliZabeth's was clean cut and straight
Betty runs for saucer mouth and a
short one; EliZabeth's was red and
curved, but firm and wide enough for
strength and charity as well. Betty
spells round eyes, with brows arched
above them as though in query and
curiosity; the eyes of Elizabeth were
long, her brows long and straight and
delicately fine A Betty might even
have red hair; Elizabeth's was brown
| in most lights, and so liquid smooth
that almost was disposed to call it
! dense rather than thick. Betty would
seem to indicate nature impulsive,
gay, and free from care; on the other
hand, it was to be said of Elizabeth
that she was logical beyond her kind
"a trait which she got from her
! mother, daughter of old Judge Henry
Gooch of our superior court. Yet
disposed as she always was to be
logical in her conclusions, the great
| characteristic of Elizabeth was Sc
renity, consideration and charity. a
With all this, there appeared some
times at the surface of Elizabeth's ma
ture that fire and lightness and impul
siveness which she got from her ia

asked, smiling as she fumbled at a
