WHISTLER AND MOORE.
Two Versions of the Famous Gaming
Incident at Drury Lane.

Two Versions of the Famous Gaming
Incident at Drury Lane.
1t was in his capacity as editor Of
the Hawk that the late Augustus
Moore, a journalist and playwright of
no little notOriety, enacted an unre-
hearsed comedy with Whistler that
created no end Of sensation at the
time. 1t happened in the vestibule of
Drury Lane on the first night of the
production of "a Million Of Money"
Whistler, it appeared. had been an
noyed at sundry references to himself

WORDS SPOKEN THAT CONE TRUE

When the Health Teacher came here
to Hattiesburg, he said that the Qua
ker, Remedies would expel worms and
germs that infect the human body, not
only would it perform this seemingly
miracle, but would cure rheumatism
and catarrh, stomach, liver, kidney
and blood troubles. These sayings
have been proven without doubt. He
has the parasites of every description,
that have been expelled from people
residing here in Hattiesburg. He also
has hundreds of testimonials from citi.
zens of thois community that are noted
for their honesty and their word can
be relied upon.

PROPAGANDA OF
Peace IN JAPAN
Baron d'EstournelIes de Constant Says
Japan is in Thores Of Seri-
Gus Crisis.

San Francisco, Cal, April 6.-Peace
propaganda is beginning to make some
progress in Japan, according to Baron
d'Estournelles de Constant, the dis
tinguished French scholar who has
been advocating the cause of interna-
tional Cancellation during an extended
tour of this country.

speech yesterday, lis to establish con-

Japan is in the throes of serious cri-
sis. No one has a greater admiration
than ourselves for the masterpieces
created by her artists, the heroic bra
very of her people and her high moral
aspirations. But at the same time her
future inspires uneasiness in us and
others. She might exercise a mag
nificent moral and civilizing influence
not only in the far East but in the
world. Will she give up this ambit-
lion to follow the same course as mod
ern Europe? Will she disdain the
glory of uplifting the Asiatic mind and
making it an example of progress
Will she sacrifice her noble mission
as a guide to the paltry ambition of
becoming a military nation? The lau-

New York, April 6.-Nathaniel Carl

constant professional brethren as "the

ready cost France dear enough and are

Americans, Germans and Japanese
The future will belong only to those
who can hold out against such feverish
desires and who can give up the idea
of dominating others while at the same
time dominating themselves? Wars
of conquest belong to an age that is
dead and gone, and the people will not
allow it to be revived
Unfortunately Europeans only see
the surface of things in Japan, and
the same is true of Europe as seen by
the Japanese. The latter think they
have seen everything and they can
give an opinion of everything in Eu-
rope when they have paid the GUS
tomary visit to the great cannon fac
tories at Creusot and Essen. They
would learn great deal more by
WORKOUT traps set by Chauvinism-
Everyone understands that while
proper means must be taken to
protect the country from attack, a
government must also try to organize
international justice and maintenance
of peace which is an essential condi-
ton of internal prosperity. On this
depends the development of labor, ag-
riculture, industries, commerce and
output-in a word, progress of every
kind.
ITO such reasonable men we submit
a reasonable and disinterested scheme
There are others who go about coun-
teracting our influence increasing the
general state of unrest and opposing
the limitation of ornaments. This is
the natural order of things. 1t simply
means the inevitable competition of
opposing influences, but there cannot
be the least doubt that success will
not always be on the same side. To
judge by newspapers of certain kind
in all countries we might imagine that
patriotism increases in proportion to
the orders for war material given by
government. On this basis the most
patriotic government is the one that
orders the greatest number of dread
naughts and pays the highest price
for them. "If you give me orders for
dreadnaughts at twenty million dol
lars apiece, my newspapers will laud
you to the skies and my friends will
pass parliamentary resolutions de-
nouncing those towards of the peace
party" This is -all very we'll for a
time, but cannot last. A single in
vention, an eloquent speech or judi
cious remark will be quite enough to
checkmate those who are carrying on
this game. They have already come
to the end of their arguments and
made themselves unpopular in Europe
for which reason no doubt they are
extending their operations abroad.
This is a symptom of great import
ance. The European governments be-
ing saturated with orders and parlia-
mentary, and public opinion being un-
easy, the makers of war material are
now looking towards America and
Asia very much as guns used to be
sold to the tribes in Central Africa.
Nowadays, however, everything comes
to be known and public opinion will
not fail to denounce such exports of

are now saying that perhaps his ad-
vocacy of statehood may be due to a
fear that other states will emulate
New York and prohibit him from re-
marrying within their borders, and
that it stands him in hand to have as
many states as possible. This theory,
of course, only illustrates the ignor-
ance of New Workers, who evidently

The rabbi referred to the act intro
duced into our Legislature favoring
the harmonizing of our laws on divorce
with those recommended by the Ma
tional Congress on Uniform Divorce
Laws, giving some account of the harm
resulting from the existing discrep-
ancies.
Speaking of the causes that should
form sufficient bases for divorce, Doc
tor Krauskopf said:
Good and sufficient reason as is
the violation of the Seventh Com
mandment for absolute separation be-
tween husband and wife, that crime
is not he only one that makes impos-
sible a married couples keeping to-
gether for the purposes for which mar
riage was instituted. When consider
that two-thirds of the divorces granted
in our country are asked for and re-
ceived by women, and when examine
into the causes for which they are
granted l perceive only too clearly
that there are unspeakable' indignities
and insufferable cruelties that make it
impossible for self-respecting Ameri-
can wife to continue with brute I'M

Several years ago. William z. john
son was appointed chief officer in the
United States Indian Service. His
reputation as an active and aggressive
temperance worker was well known,
and thousands rejoiced that so strong
a man had been appointed to field of
service where he could do much to
overcome the devilish collaboration in
traffic that was robbing the fast dis
appearing American Indians of their
lands, their moral rights, their physi-
cal We'll being and their souls. For
| these several years, William Il. john
son has administered his office with so
much faithfulness TO his oath and so
much regard for the interests of our
red brother. that he had long since
become a thorn in the flesh of certain
powerful commercial interests which
promptly set about ousting him from
his office. In that, they have succeed
