NEWS NO SURPRISE TO
WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATION

Washington, March 25.-Wheh Sec
rotary Norton was informed by the
Associated Press of the resignation of
the Cabinet of President Diaz of Mex
leo he hurried to the White House to
tell President Taft. The President
was attending "a musicale when he
heard the news.
Senior De La Bara, the Mexican Am
bassador, also informed unoficially
said he expected kilograms from his
government concerning the resigna-
lions.
The resignation was not unexpected
in Washington. The State Depart
ment has been receiving private adj
vices that change was being con-
templated by President Diaz.
Ambassador Says Nothing.
The Mexican Ambassador has ad-
mitted such a contingency existed in
Mexico City, but has declined to COM
ment on the situation as being an
international affair." It is believed
here, however, in the circles of both
the insurrecto and federal sympa-
thizers, that the resignation was a
formal courtesy to those members who
are to retire permanently, but that
when the new Cabinet is decided upon
it will contain some of its former
members.
1t was explained here that the res
ignation of Senior Corral, Vice-Presi-
dent of the republic, probably will be
accepted for the post of Department
of the Interior, and that his failing
health probably would prevent his &C
oepting the post in the new Cabinet.
He will, however, remain Vice-Presi-
dent and the presiding officer of the
Senate.
Corral and creeI Out.
Private advices here indicate that
the designations of Senior Corral from
the post of Secretary of the Interior,
Senior Molina as Secretary of Fomento
(promotion of colonization and indus
try). and Senior Creel from the port
folio OF Minister of Foreign Relations
will be accepted. 1t had been believed
that Senior Limantour might be re-
lieved of the post of Minister of FL
nance and be made Minister of For
eign Affairs, but it was said this prob
ably is an open question with Presi-
dent Diaz.
It was not believed probable that
Senior Creel would leave the Cabinet,
as it was said on good authority that
he would be offered the portfolio of
Minister of F0ment0.
Opposition in Yucatan to Senior Mo-
linas, as well as antipathy in Chihua-
hua to Senior Creel, are reasons as
|cribed in Mexican circles here to the
changes to be made in the posts occu-
pied by those men.

GOOD SINGERS ARE
in GREAT DEMAND

"The demand for good singers
has never been so great as at pres
ent," remarked a prominent Snowman
today, and the salaries are growing
more and more attractive all the
while. The public appears to appre-
ciate feminine voice to a greater ex-
tent than a male voice, and where it
is possible the moving picture men
secure lady singers. Right here in
Hattiesburg there is an opening at all
times for one or more girl singers at
from fifteen to twenty dollars a week,
and there are some good voices here
too, but false modesty prevents some
young ladies from accepting the plac-
es. This is caused by a mistaken
idea of the environment of the show
houses. Girls are treated with as
great respect and are as well protect
ed in the two local play houses as in
their own homes. The work is not
arduous, and the pay is good"

EXPERIENCES OF
Big fire RECALLED
BY The Appearance of Burrows G.
LesIie's Shows In The
City.

The arrival Of the Burrows G Leslie
Show Co., which is to exhibit here
for one week in their canvass theatre,
recalls the experience which befell
Mr.. Burrows and Miss Leslie two
years ago when Judge Hardee's Room
ing Hotel was destroyed by fire.
At that time Miss Leslie was the
leading lady in the W. l. Swain Co.
and occupied suite of rooms in the
hotel. Several other members of the
company were also stopping at the
hotel and when the fire broke out near
midnight, it was with the greatest diff
ficulty that the occupants escaped with
their lives. The loss of property was
great, nearly all of Miss Leslie's new
wardrobe, just purchased in New York,
being consumed, also two large the
alter trunks and a hundred dollar type
writer. Other members of the COM
pany suffered severe losses also. Mr..
Burrows lost four suits of clothes and
a new overcoat. Time effaces all ills,
and at present Miss Leslie and Mr..
Burrows are heading a company of
their own and are prepared to present
to the citizens of Hattiesburg a big
city show at popular prices. The com.
pany is composed of artists of reputa-
ton, several Of whom are well-known
in this city. The company opens their
engagement tonight in their big can
vas theater near the Hardy street
bridge.

JACKSON HAS A

HIS name NORCUM

Season.


Jackson, Miss, Feb. 13-Jackson
has at last selected her manager for
the coming season of baseball. That
is she thinks she has, and she thinks
it so strongly that it may be set down
as almost a certainty This decision
was arrived at Saturday night after
the exchange of several kilograms, be-
tween Secretary Lewis and Frank Nor

signified his willingness to accept the
responsibility of plotting the Capitol
isns to victory at the end of the sea-

Norcum is the man, and he comes
from the South Atlantic League, play
ing with the Augusta, Ca, team last
season and is highly recommended
by men who know baseball and the
players thereof when they see them.
His home is in Norfolk, Va. and he has
had long and varied experience in
the baseball field, playing in the South
ern League with both the Nashville
and Montgomery teams. AS soon as
he can make his arrangements to

wanted to know what the Mississippi
an was going to do.
What do you mean?' asked the
Mississippian.

have little frame-up on this job, and
we don't want any interference" said
the visitor.
Well said the Mississippian, get

was the reply.
I'm on" said the Mississippian.
THE money was paid over, the Mis-
sissippian took his grip and drove out
to his sons camp, two hundred and
fifty dollars better of for the new
court house, but he didn't know any
thing about it and cared less till one
of the contractors threw bunch
of money into his face.
"The moral to that story" said the
gentleman, sis that everything is not
what it seems. But that little tool,
which probably cost the sum of two
bits was worth just two hundred and
fifty dollars to him.
This shows Mississippians have the
edge of the other folks, when it comes
to using their gray matter, and shows
at the same time, how the contractors
get together on a proposition, gen.
orally getting more money for a job
than they should"

wages Of our working people.
when the working man loses his
job in the factory the farmer loses
his customer. The Payne tariff act
reduces duty on great many articles,
and We have been having heavy fm-
portations since the passage of that
Iact. That may do no harm, and a
reduction of the amount of protection
given to some other manufactures may
do no harm-indeed, may be justified
but whenever these reductions go
so far as to permit very heavy impor-
ltations of goods in those classes, the
factory stops and the farmer loses his
market.
Reciprocity with Canada must be
considered from a viewpoint some
what different from that of a tariff
act affecting our commerce with the
entire world; localities in both Cana
da and the United States will be op-
posed from real or imaginary reasons.
But the development of either country
as whole calls for first consideration
from its statesmen.
There Is just as much opposition
in localities there now to letting in
American manufactured goods at low
err rates as there is in localities on
the American side to letting in Ca

AN IMAGINARY
RIVAL PAID $3.50
To Leave Louisiana Town the Clever
Trick Of Mississippi
Man.

A good story is being told about a
Mississippi man who recently visited
his son in a little town in Northern
louisiana, near Monroe, where sew
eral contractors were to bid on a new
court house.
The man is South Mississippian

works on salary. A short time ago
he was going to visit his son, who is
section boss on a railroad in Louisi-
ana. His son wanted a certain tool,
and the father bought it while in Jack

outside.
There were several men on the

was at work, he stopped at hotel

7. PLASS
IS The MANAGER
OF RIBBONERS
Plass Comes From Winnipeg, Canada.
Formerly Lived in The
South.


SPoNtus " xbc NCPSs
Meridian, Miss, Feb. 13.-The
Meridian Athletic Association has
selected a manager to pilot the
Ribboners for the season of 1911. The
terms of Forest T. Plass, whose nom
de baseball"' is Rabbit" were accept.
ed for the managerial job. Plass ap.
plication was considered by the direc.
tors for some time and the selection
of leader for the Meridian club mar
rowed down to two men some time
ago. After weighing we'll the qualities
of the other candidate it was decided
that Plass was better fit for the posi-
ton.
Rabbit" is well known in Dixie
balloon, having played several sea-
sons in the Cotton States and in the
Southern. He was seen several Years
ago in this circuit, first with Natchez
and then with Vicksburg, playing the
keynote bag and was considered one
of the best guardians of this sack in
the league. Leaving the Cotton belt,
he was promoted to the Southern and
played with several clubs in that cir
cult. He was with Memphis for sew
eral seasons, and towards the shank
of two seasons was sent, on account
,of his knowledge of ball players, on a
scouting tour by Manager Babb. On
these tours, Plass discovered several
promising players, mostly pitchers,
who started for the Turtles and some
of his phenoms are now drawing pay
checks from the big leagues.
The Ribboners' new manager was
engaged for several seasons to coach
the A. & M. College team, and was
the first professional that ever in
instructed Willie Mitchell, the crack
southpaw Of the Cleveland team.
Mitchell is reputed to be the best
hurler ever sent out from Mississippi,
and holds the strike-out record of the
Texas league.
Last season, Plass started with the
Freeport club of the Northern Asso-
citation which stranded in midseason.
He was then signed to manage the
Winnipeg club in the Western Cana
dian League where he made an envia-
BILE record. His fielding average struck
the high mark of 952, which is consid-
cred a good record for a keystone
keeper. He broke into the bum note
column only eight times in 80 games.
His batting average was considered
select for that company, being 293, a
good mark for an infelder. rabbit"
pilfered Al sacks, average more than
a stolen base to a game.
The new leader is considered a
pinch-Aitter, is fast on his feet, and
gets down to first as rapidly as the
best Of them. He led the Cotton
States League once in base stealing,
and Is considered a great base runner
as his nick name indicates. He will
report as soon as possible, which will
doubtless be in about two weeks.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should be given, except in emergency
cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics and
purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause gripping, nau-
sea and other distressing after-effects
that are life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy, for con-
stipation and associate bowel disor-
ders. We have such absolute faith in
the virtues of this remedy that we sell
it on our guarantee of money back
in every instance where it fails to
give entire satisfaction, and we urge
all in need of such medicine to try il
at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten lie can
dy. They are particularly pre- ,-pt and
agreeable in action, may be t3ken at
any time, day or night: do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
loosc1ess nor other undes liable eff
fects. They have a very neural &C
ton upon the glands and organs with
which they come in contact, act as a
positive and regulative tonic upon The
relaxed muscular coat of the bowel
and its dry mucous lining; remove ir.
ritation, overcome weakness, tone and
strengthen the nerves and muscles,
and restore the bowels and associate
organs to more vigorous and healthy
activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except of surgical char.
acter. They also tend to overcome
the necessity of constantly taking
la0atives to keep the bowels in a nor.
