In England they say the Nationalist
policy is painted as simple local

America and Ireland. 1t is home rule

Mr.. Redmond nor other supporters OF
home rule have made any reference 10

Redmond says il was altogether too
early TO talk of the bill itself, adding:
We are at present too busy trying to
convert the people Of England to the
principle of home rule"
To do this the Irish leader must in the
first place convince Eng1Ishmert, and par

Mr.. Redmond and other Irish members
who are touring England, impress upon
their audiences that what Ireland de-
mands is not separation, but the right
of managing her own local affairs in a
subordinate Parliament, subject to the
supremacy of the imperial Parliament-

any community of white men in the ems

fact that neither of the vessels has

RAILROAD MAN

Meridian, Miss, April 1.-THE Off
Gals of the local Queen & Crescent
freight office and Mrs. Benjamin Lew
is are disturbed over the strange dis
appearance of Benjamin Lewis, check
clerk at the local office.
Last Saturday Lewis applied for his
salary, stating that he wanted to send
his wife to her mother, who was i'll at
Cincinnati. The authority was grant
ed from New Orleans headquarters
and he was give nthe money. He
then went home, changed his clothes,
bid his wife goodbye in the usual way
and disappeared.
Mrs. Lewis states that she does not
believe her husband-ha deserted her
but that he has been hurt.
Lewis came to Meridian from Gin
cinnati and was said to have been i'm
ported by the road during the recent

good, and the officials are anxious tc
locate him, on account of the destitute
condition of his wife and child.

jackson, Miss, April 14.-Carlos
Smith and his cohorts romped all over
our little back yard Thursday after
noon, and when the play was finished
and the tallies totalled the tall boys
from the timbers had score of IL to
8 against the Gladiators.
Jackson never had good peep at
Hattiesburg at any stage of the game.
During the seventh inning the fans
inspired themselves with fond hope
that the score could be tied, but it was
a false alarm. Smith, who had been
pitching a mastery game up to that
3tfncture, lost control and quit the
mound, leaving the bases full and only
one down. Eaton, the lad with the
cerise complexion, succeeded him, and
a bingle by McLain brought in a pair
of tallies, but the subsequent proceed
ings were disheartening. The inning
closed with the score 5 to in favor of
the visitors, and Carlos gave the order
to ''go after 'em boys. and get it back
again" They got it, for certain. 1t
was capturing our got, good and prop
er. McLain, who had been pitching a
very wobbly and uncertain game up
to that juncture, lost his steam, and
Needles was sent into succeed him.
But good Doctor Needles seemed to
have lost his point, and could not
puncture Hattiesburg's prospects. He
was raped all over the lot, and as
the shades of night were falling the
nine-act tragedy was brought to
close, and Jackson moved down peg
in the percentage column.
McLain's pitching was decided
disappointment to the fans. He is the
only left-hander on the team, and good
things had been expected of him in
this capacity. But during his per-
Torrance yesterday he had no sem
blance of control, giving passes to
seven batsmen, and getting himself in
all sorts of wierd predicaments. That
he did not lose his game earlier in the
play was due more to the good work
of his teammates and the element of
luck than his own generalship. In
the fifth inning the bingle boys started
on his train, and when a mixture OF
passes, singles and sacrifices filled the
bags, II became evident that Carlos
Smith had the game already tucked
away In his percentage table.
Smith pitched wonderfully clever
game up to the seventh inning, and
the Gladiators have not yet found out
what 1t was he had in stock that kept
them so mystifed. He is not in shape
however, to go q full-nine inning game
at this period in the season, and wher
he left the box yesterday his arm was
suffering acutely from the strain.
