ADJUSTMENTS

Jacks Aunt" opened the week al
the Majestic last night to an unusual
! ly- arpreciative audience This clean
bright little comedy is another of the
Lee offerings that is doing much to
establish Mr.. Lee and his company
firmly in the regard OF his patrons and
| is another proof that real musical
comedy is appreciated here. The i'm
pecunious young doctor Gmpersonated
! by Lee who is the victim of a series
of practical jokes at the hands of his
young friends is a character that won
instant approval Lee seems to be in
his element in complicated situations
and does his best when subjected to the
cross-fire of his assistants.
The play as a whole shows lot of
preparation and it is worthy of re-
mark, in passing. how this company
manages to change it's bill twice each
week and yet do such good work.
Fun is at all times uppermost in this
play as in all the others the Lee peo-
pie have offered so far and as this is
the first time this show has been given
in Phoenix a splendid reception is due
it. The costumes. musical numbers
and the play itself being all new, there
is no reason why Jacks Aunt" should
not be one OF the hits of the Lee en-
gagement. This play is not to be con-
fused with Charles Aunt THE
Wrong Aunt" and many others built on
the lines of Charles Aunt" but is en-
tirely different in action and plot.
Jacks Aunt will run until Wednes-
day night when Facing the Music" will
be substituted. Friday night, waltz
ing contest among the chorus girls will
be the feature of the evening.
COLISEUM.
For a closing night the attendance
at the Coliseum last evening was I'M
usually large. Young Buffalo. the
Walters and Musical Stevens certain
ly closed in a blaze of glory, if such
time worn expression be permitted.
Taking everything into consideration
Musical Stevens seemed to make the
biggest hit straight through the week.
The closing nights attendance was
big and ii is expected that the at
tendance at tOnights opening will
come near breaking the record for this
season. For several weeks there has
been a marked improvement in the
Coliseum shows. Each bill seemed
lust a little better than the last.

NO RACE SUICIDE HERE.
Gulfport Woman Gives Birth to Ten
Children in Eight Years.

Jackson.-While the Mississippi guilt
coast is being advertised to the world
as a place where almost anything in the
fusion, it is certainly entitled to the
palm-likewise the laurel and the pal
metto or any other sort OF greens typi-
flying that it is the real thing when it
comes to raising children.
A Gulfport woman has established
what is probably the worlds record in
this line. She has given birth to five
sets OF twins within a period OF eight
years and is proud of it.
Her name is Mrs. J. d.. Pifario. The
first twins We're girls and the next boys.
The next two sets were girls and the
next boys, thus making a grand total of
six girls and four boys.
All of them are healthy and hearty
and full OF life and appetite. The last
twins are only six weeks old, but they
are a fine pair, and just as hearty and
lively as they can be.

COTTON CROP PROSPECT.
DR.. H. Guy Hathorn Makes a Report on
Conditions.

Jackson.-Dr. II. Guy Hathorn, speciaI
agent OF the farmers cooperative and
demonstration farm work, United States
department OF agriculture, makes the
following report on conditions in South
west Mississippi:
A careful examination of the situa.
tlon in the counties of Wilkinson, Ad.
ans, Jefferson and Claiborne shows hat
the farmers have an immense advan.
tage as compared with last year in the
tight against the boil weevil.
The weevils have been decidedly less
numerous than they were last year, and
where they have been earthly picked,
the fields now show very few w%eevils.
The cotton is much further advanced
than at this date last year, and the
percentage of p%unctured squares is much
less. The hot, dry weather has been
very favorable to the development of
the cotton, and unfavorable to the in
crease OF the weevils. The cultivation
has been such that we have almost ideal
conditions under which to continue the
fight against the weevil.

Prof. Smith also advocates an efficient

LECTURE ON RECLAMATION.
Chief photographer of Geological Sur
vey Delivers Splendid Address.

Jackson.-The Reclamation Special
being operated by the Illinois Central
and Yazoo and Mississippi Valley roads,
for the purpose of stirring up interest
among the people OF Mississippi in the
reclamation OF swamp and overflowed
lands, visited Jackson Thursday, and
the lecture delivered at the Gem Theater
was heard by a large audience.
Much interest is being manifested in
the reclamation OF swamp and over
flowed lands in this state, especially in
the delta, where several million acres of
the most fertile lands in the world are
now idle.
The principal address at the Gem
Theater was delivered by Mr.. NJ. O..
Leighton, chief photographer of the
United States geological survey.
Mr.. Leighton spoke for more than an
hour, and received the closest attention
throughout. He showed that if all the
swamp and overlooked lands in the
United States were reclaimed and placed
in cultivation they would produce crops
each year of greater value than the
agricultural yields of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, three of the banner farming
! states of the Union combined.
The speaker gave some interesting
facts and figures concerning the posi-
bilities of reclamation work in Missls-
sippi and Louisiana, showing a thorough
familiarity with conditions in these two
states.

BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
More Than a Half Million Are to b
Floated in the State.

Jackson.-More than a half million
dollars in bond issues for various i'm
provement purposes will be floated by
the various counties and municipalities
in Mississippi during the next sixty days.
The city of Jackson has proposed an
issue of $150,0OO for street paving and
new public school buildings, and no
protest will be made by taxpayers, as
all realize the necessity for the work.
On June ~ a special election was held
at Biloxi to pass on the question Of
issuing $4,000 in bonds to be used In
improving the waterworks plant.
The town of Amory has authorized
an issue of sos, 900 to be used in the
construction of waterworks and sewer
age systems.
Monroe county has joined the good
roads campaign, and the first super
visor's district wants to float 100000
in bonds to be used in the construc-
ton of a modern system of highways.
A special election on the subject will
be held on July Z.
DeSoto county gives notice of a $685.
600 bond issue to be used in the con-
struction of modern bridges over sew
eral of the streams in that county.
The city of Ellisville will sell a SO,
900 bond issue for the purpose of erect
ing a new school building.
In a large number of counties and
communities where bond issues have
been authorized within the past sixty
days, the work of improvement has beer
commenced. 1t is probable that a larger
sun will be spent in work of this char
acter during the current year than evel
before in the history Of the state.

ing Instant Death.

Meridian.-Ruth, the 2-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Harwell, was
accidentally shot and killed by Lola, her
12-year-old sister.
The children were playing in their
fathers store and obtained possession
OF an old revolver. They had been in
the habit of playing with the pistol near
ly every day, as it was not loaded. Mr..
Harwell had loaded the weapon the day
before and placed it back on the shelf
where he thought it was out of reach
OF the children. They succeeded in find.
ing 1t, and the older child playfully
pointed the weapon at her sister and
fired. A loud explosion followed, and the
little girl dropped dead with a bullet
through her brain.

BEAUvOIR is CROWDED.
Superintendent Mosby Seeking Tempo
rary Relief.

Jackson.-In view of the pressing need
for additional accommodations at the
Confederate Soldiers Home at Beauvoir,
it will soon be incumbent on the state
authorities to take some step to meet the
situation pending the time at which the
legislature can meet and make provision
in the regulation way. According to
Capt. j. X. Mosby, the superintendent of
the home, i'll addition to a home full of
soldiers and their wives or widows, there
are applications on file from more than
a hundred more, and in the absence Of
accommodation these have necessarily
to be turned down or filed away to take
their chances of consideration.

STATE LOSES TEXAS CASE.
Several Cases of Violating Antitrust
Law Settled.

Gulfport.-At the June term of chan
Gerry court the case of the state against
the Texas Oil Company and others was
disposed of, the court deciding that the
c~omplainants' demands be rejected and
the case dismissed. 1t appears that the
state produced no proof in support OF
the allegations in the bill of complaint.
This finally disposes of the following
cases: The state of Mississippi against
the Texas and Standard Companies, the
state against the Gulf Refining Com
pany and the Standard, charged with
violating the state antitrust law. These
several cases were filed in June, 1900, by
Congressman B. II. Harrison, who was
then district attorney.

tons abroad that they are hailed with
wild enthusiasm.
One Of the Jokes Of American his.
tory Is that the first band which Is
mentioned as being aboard an Ameri-
can warship raj deliberately stolen
by the commander Of the vessel who.
1t seems was mighty fond Of band
music. This was more than a century
ago. The officer who boldly kidnapped
a ~full-fiedged band was Capt. Daniel
McNiell, and his good ship was the
corvette Boston, carrying twenty-eight
guns. The Boston had put into an
Italian port for a brief stay, and a
band attached to one Of the regiments
stationed at that port came aboard to
give q concert. The Yankee captain
was SO fascinated with the music that
he forthwith tripped anchor, made all
sail and escaped to 70 with the pro-
testing musicians. OF course there
was a big howl over the episode, and
the government Of the United States
had to hasten to disclaim all RESPONSE
bility and send the musicians back
home. The first real worthwhile band
In the American navy was likewise
captured. but the intrepid Decatur
came into possession Of this band
through the capture Of = British war
ship and then induced the British nu-
sicians to enlist in his service. When
this band reached New York and
marched through the streets at the
head Of a procession Of Yankee blue
jackets 1t created q sensation.

our private bands have taken advan-
tage Of this license to bedeck them
selves in gorgeous attire. Red and
! blue are the favorite colors for band
| uniforms-always with as much gold
or silver lace or white braid as the
bandmen can .aford-but there are
some bands that in selecting a design
for a uniform seem to have been
moved by a desire to have 1t present
as many different colors as possible.
Zouave and hussar uniforms have
proven popular with not a few bands,
and others manage to look very natty
in uniforms of white duck.
Perhaps the handsomest and showi'
est Of all band uniforms is that worn
on state occasions at the White House
by the Marine band. 1t consists OF
light blue trousers and brilliant. red
coat, literally embellished with black
braid. The mounted bands OF the
United States cavalry are a novelty
and never fail to arouse wonder that
they can give as good music as they
do. considering that each member
