TWO DUELS.

The Second One Was to AVenge the
Victim of the First.
A certain English gentleman who
was a regular frequenter of the green
room of Drury Lane theater in the
days of Lord Byron's committee and
who always stood quietly on the
hearth rug there with his back to th,
fire was in his usual place one night
when a narrative was related by an
other gentleman, newly returned from
the continent, of a barrier duel that
had taken place in Paris.
A young Englishman, mere boy,
had been despoiled in gaming house
in the Palais Royal, had charged a
certain gaming count with cheating
him, had gone out with the count, had
wasted his fire and had been slain by
the count under the frlghtful circum-
stances of the counts walking up to
him, laying his hand on his heart, say
ing, "You are brave fellow-have
you a mother?" and ON his replying

The gentleman on the hearth rug
paused in taking a pinch of snuff to

great placidity, 81 am afraid ! must

A few nights elapsed, during which
the greenroom hearth rug was without

as before and only incidentally men

"Gentlemen, / killed that rascal"
He had gone over to Paris on pur-

glass of wine in his face in the pres

Three Aspirants for Senatorial tionors
Will Spend an Active Week
Campaign Bureaus Busy.

Jackson, Miss, April 17.-Mississip-
pis three candidates took the field to-
day and will spend busy week ad-
dressing the voters. Interest in the
contest shows no signs of waning, de
spite the fact that majority of the
farmers of the state are busy in the
fields getting their crops planted
Realizing this fact, the trio of aspir-
ants will confine their activities dur
ing the current week chiefly to the
county seats and other centers OF
population, where they will have an
opportunity to address the town vot
ers, reserving the work of Smelling

AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Jackson, Miss, April 17.-Played on
a diamond soggy from recent showers
and started in a drizzling rain, the
game here Saturday between Jackson
and Hattiesburg was fast and snappy
from beginning to end and anybody's s
victory until the last man was out.
Jackson started the fireworks in the
initial round when three hites, com.
bined with a couple of errors, netted a
trio of runs.
Smiths Timberjacks found Rube
Peters at frequent intervals, but were
never able to get man past the third
sack until the fifth, when Bagby and
Gondoli scored on a wild pitch. The
score was tied in the sixth. Smith,
first up, singled to center and stole
second. and crossed the plate when
Wickenhoffer doubled just inside the
right field line.
Whites two-bagger in the last hall
of the same inning, bringing in Nor
cum who had walked and advanced to
second on sacrifice, won the game
fos tie locals.
Both teams played phenomenal ball
in the outfleld, though infieId errors
were numerous enough and came al
critical times.

Russia,s sutt.rflx Belief.

Small boys and girls in Russia often
do not have the joy of butterfly chas-
ing or collecting. for the popular and
pretty belief of the peasants is that
these swarms of fragile, lovely insects
are the earthbound souls of the dead,
compelled to linger for some minor ex-
piation of sin. AS the nurses of the
children of all below royalty are from
the peasant class, they impress on
them at an early age how wicked 1t

Red Letter Days.

The origin of "red letter day" has
been traced back to the third century.
Gregory. bishop of Caesarea, Jealous
for the conversion of pagans, found
them unwilling to give up their Gus
tomary recreations at the festivals of
their gods. so. taking a leaf out of
their book he instituted festivals in
honor of saints and martyrs. This ex-
ample soon led to the institution Of
holy days, now corrupted into holl-
days. In old almanacs all such holy
days were set forth in red ink. the
rest being In black; hence the term
"red letter day" for any notable occa-
sion. Others say that the origin of the
expression is much more recent and is
due to the fact that Saints day. the

LIGHTING BY GAS.
II Was Costly Process When II Was
First Established.


The first Incorporated gas company
was the National Light and Heat Com
pany of England, established in 1909
In America the first gas company was
incorporated in Baltimore in 1916, the
second one in Boston in 1922, and the
next one was the New York Gaslight
company. incorporated in 1928.
Prior to 1880 the gas business of this
country was nominal. but the price
probably was responsible for its slow
development. From 1924 to 1928, says
Moodys Magazine, the New York Gas
light company sold gas to consumers
at the rate of $40 a thousand cubic
feet.
The first artificial Illuminating gas
was produced in England about 1926
by one DR.. Hales, but not until 17S0
was a practical test made. In that
year the Earl of Dundonald of Scot
land arranged an apparatus by which
he lighted his castle with gas. The
same year William Murdoch of Bir-
mingham, England, introduced gas as
a light In his workshops Mt Redruth
and Cornwall.
AS Mr.. Murdock was the first man
to reap any commercial benefit from
the discovery of the use of illuminat-
ing gas, he may properly be accredited
as the father of modern public utili-
ties. In 1913 London bridge was illu-
minated by gas, and five years later
gas was in general use throughout the
main part Of London.

court STREET
REVIVAL CLOSED
Was Of Spiritual Upuift to a large
Number--Many Acoessions
to Churches.

The Court Street revival services
came 10 a close with the early morn
ing service today, and Rev.. Mr.. Kelly
and his brother John Kelly, who had
charge of the music during the meet
ing left for their homes with the bless
ing of many greatful hearts resting on
them, and, the prayers of many well
wishers following them.
The morning service today was
more largely attended than any of the
sunrise services previously held
There was a deep solemnitx pervad-
ing at the service owing to the admin
istration of the sacrament of the
Lords supper. A very large number
of communicates partook of this sac
rement, including all those who were
received into the membership of the
church Sunday afternoon and this
morning. At the meeting Sunday
afternoon twenty-seven persons took.
the church VOWS and at this mornings
meeting ten others were formally re-
ceived. There are several others who
have given their names for member
ship either for Court Street or some
other church in the city.
The services Sunday morning were
very beautiful and interesting to the
audience which packed the church to
it's capacity. This service was de-
voted to the Mothers Day" anniyer-
sary. The church was appropriately
decorated and festooned for the occa-
sion; the music was specially selected
and beautifully rendered Mr.. Kelly
did not permit the special anniversary
character of this service to divert him
from the main purpose of laying upon
the backslider and uncumyerted the
great and imperative duty of turning
unto God, and of surrendering them
selves for salvation and service" AT
the close of the sermon he made his
usual appeals, and propositions.
There were more than one hundred
who stood up to testify to renewed
purpose to live life of Christian SER
vice-all testifying also to the fact
that the meeting had been great
blessing to them.
At p. m. Sunday Mr.. Kelly
preached a special sermon to children,
using as his text the scripture which
reads: Behold | stand at the Door
and Knock" His sermon was made
very simple and the children were
able to follow him in all his illustra-
tions and reasoning. Mr.. Kelly is a
strong believer in child religion, and
is able to give innumerable instances
where men and women have become
strong Christian workers, who Joined
the church in early childhood. He re-
joices himself that his life has been
devoted to Christian work because he
was led to join the church when but
seven years of age.
After his sermon the pastor, Rev.
G. H. Thompson, baptized number
of applicants and received the class
into the church.
The night service Sunday was a
splendid evidence of the sustained in
terest which has marked this revival
meeting. The unanimity with which
the largo thronp nrassed forward IN
shake Mr.. Kelly's hand was a splen-
did proof that he had made deep
impression on large number of peo-
pie during his minisfrations in our
city.
