Petition For Pardon.

To His Excellency, Gov. E. F. Noel. Governor of
Mississippi
We, the undersigned citizens of Lee county.
Mississippi, most respectfully request your Elk
cellency to grant a pardon to William w. Blay-
lock, who was convicted of murder at the Aug
ust Tenn, 1908, of the Circuit Court of Lee
county, Mississippi, and given a life sentence in
the State penitentiary.
We are informed that this man has made a
good faithful prisoner while in prison and that
his health is failing and is now in the hospital for
treatment. This prisoner has in this county a
wife and several small children that are|in des-
titute circumstances and are in need of the as

We further believe that said prisoner has been
sufficiently punished for the crime with which
he was charged, if any he has com mitted, about
which we have very grave doubts.
Respectfully submitted,

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
AN HERO.


About the middle Of the
eighteenth century there ap-
peared upon the streets OF Lon
don one cay a gentleman car
rying a very strange looking ap-
paratus. At times he would
carry it by his side, and again
he would spread 1t out and car
ry it aIoft. He was an English
man and a great traveller, and
he had brought this curious de-
vice from far-off Persia. The
like of It had never before been
seen in England, and It excited
a great deal of curiosity. More
than that, 1t brought much ridi-
Guile and abuse upon the gentle
mans head. Crowds of men
and boys would follow him,
hootIng and ieering, and even
peIting him with stones. But
he was not %dismayed, and per-
sisted in his practice day after
day. Otners took 1t up, and he
Fved to see his example follow
ed by almost the whole popu-
lace of London. The unroman-
tic name Of this uncrowned
hero was Jonas Hanway, and he
was the first E~ngIishman to
carry an umbrella.

ORDER CAMDEN MAN FROM
TRADE COUNCIL MEETING.
Lack of Proper Credentials
Causes RichmOnd's Dismissal.

During the meeting of the Essex
Trades Council last night considerable
excitement was caused when Secretary
Henry F. Hilfers accused one of the
men present with misrepresenting him.
self and ordered him to leave the meet
ing. The man said he was Harry
Richmond, and carried a resolution
purported to b. adopted by the Cen
trail Labor Union of Camden. The
resolution Endorsed and supported a bill
to be presented to the Legislature
abolishing the legal rate for public ad-
vertising in newspapers.
The alleged labor man from Camden
did not have any credentials from the
OF organization and it developed that be-
fore the primaries he was prevented
from presenting the resolution because
of the same lack of credentials. Hill
fers openly declared last night that he
did not believe the man represented the
Camden organization and that he was
present to promote some political
scheme of his own.
Richmond, as he called himself, was
given the floor for a time, and during
his talk referred to Cornelius Ford
president OF the New Jersey State Fed
Grafton, as a 'faker," and declared that
many other labor leaders were in the
same class. He arose to ask a ques-
ton and was ordered to leave the
meeting by the chairman.

THEATRICAL BALL TO BE
BIG EVENT OF SEASON.

The arrangements committee in
charge of the big theatrical ball which
takes place at the Kruger Auditorium
on Monday, December a, are sparing
no efforts or expense to make this the
social event of the season. AS in past
years. their ball>'was always the talk
of the town, and in order that the
affair may eclipse anything that has as
yet been attempted, the committee,
headed by the Woodworking Abe
Simon, have several surprises in store.
Not only will the professionals who
are playing at the local houses be on
hand, but assurance has been given
that all the popular actresses and ctors
appearing at the New York theatres
will be among those present. The seiec-
ton of Leon Evans as floor manager
has been considered a wise n by those
who know. and the dancers will be as
sured of plenty of dancing space no
matter how crowded the floor. TWO
bands of music will also entertain those
who attend, and the grand march,
which is scheduled to start at midnight,
will be lead by Miss Nina Schan AMI
James C. Morton, of the Merry Whirl
Company, which appear at the Gayety
Theatre.

GOES BACK TO JAIL BY
ROUTE HE USED IN ESCAPE,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ncv. 25. Gus
West, known in P%ittsburg as h Mil
lionaire Kid" crawled back into the
Marion ourty j. yesterday the same
way he crawled out last June, only
this time Gus wore a pair of we'll
wrought r,ndcuffs and Sheriff Woesner
stood by.
West was surprised when Sheriff
Wesner, who brought him back from
Pittsburg, led him to the iron fence
which surrounds the jail. West could
not quite catch the drift of things,
you're going to go back the same way
you came out" said the sheriff.
1t was uncomfortable work, but
West scaled the fence and made his
way to a basement window, climbed
through the window and entered the
basement of the jail. Then he mads
his way to the ~jailer's office on the
first floor. West had been sent to jail
for six months for petit larceny.
