Mr.. VIM. A. Brown, connected
with the Baskin Lumber Co.,, at
Baskin, b., was brought to the city
last night, suffering with a broken
leg and taken to the Natchez SAM
tarium for treatment. He was &C
companied to the city by his broth
er, Mr.. B. c. Brown OF Ferriday.
It seems that on Friday night,
Mr.. Brown, Mr.. Harry Rountree
and four negroes were riding on a
hand car on the tracks OF the Bas-
kin Lumber Co.'s tramline. The
negroes were working the bump
handles at a pretty lively speed
when the car ran into a COW. Mr..
Brown was thrown to the ground,
alighting in front Of the car which
ran over him.
One of the bones of his left leg
was broken and he sustained severe
bruises about the body.
Mr.. Rountree was also severely
bruised, but his injuries were not
regarded as of sufficient extent to
warrant his coming to the Sanitor-
ium. The negroes escaped unhurt.

Law and the Queen.

The quaintness of many provisions
of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status of the queen of England
SO far as her majesty's private bust
ness is concerned. she is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as married woman at all She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope of the mar
ried woman's property act. The idea
in all this is that affairs of state con-
sumo all the time of the king, and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts in
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them. as any other
husband in the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for. debt but
the queen can be. Should the king die,
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again. in case she
wished to, without the license of the
kings successor.-N York Tribune.

Travellers from New York to Montreal

and causeway, a revelation Of vista. with
the Green mountains looming majestical-
ly from afar. Early-morning fishermen

curious leaves bending toward the stalk,
and tall elms vary the levelness Of the

The Canadian Pacific depot at Montreal
suggests Norman, castle rather than o

Most Montreal folks with money spend
the hot months on the coast of Maine.
Portland is nearer by than New York,
such are the peculiarities of geography.
Montreal fire-engines are housed on
metal tracks set in the station floor,
which give the machine smooth, straight
start.
The Queens hotel at Montreal uses
chloride of lime instead of soap and
scrubbing to create an atmosphere Of
cleanliness.
The theory that things are cheap in
Canada is a delusion. Mems furnishings
cost as much or more than in New York,
and drugs are above the outrageous
metropolitan figures. The things you want
usually come from the states and have
