THEY'D COME IN HANDY

Senator Elihu Root was talking
about a tactless political move.
1t lost them the election he said,
and it deserved to on account of its
tactlessness.
In fact, in this regard, il reminded
me of the rich man who, in a we'd
ding breakfast speech, where the bride
and bridegroom would be very poor,
concluded with the words.
And now. dear friends, one last
remark. Don't throw any rice or old
shoes at them. Send all your rice

He pumped" GUN
HOLE IN The DOOR

An innocent, but loaded pump"
gun-one of dozen, the others empty
and an inquisitive stranger, played
star roles in an exciting scene at an
East Pine street restaurant a few
nights ago. That no one was killed,
came simply under the law of chance
A dozen hunters had come into the
place. All placed their guns on a
counter. But one had load in il
and that single load. The owner
forgot to extract the shell.
An inquisitive stranger looked over
the guns while the hunters were busy
dividing the kill. OF course he tried
the one gun which had the load. The
shot tore a hole in the door leading
to the stairway as big as your foot
The stranger dropped the gun and
ran-frightened out of his wits. The
restaurant men turned pale and the
hunters broke to cover. Fortunately
no one was killed.

PETER PAN" SHOW
To BE PRETENTIOUS

The Peter Pan Minstrels, which is
to be presented Friday eve by Miss
j. Pearle Rogers for the benefit of
Trinity Guild, is being talked of more
every day. And it justly deserves an
ovation, for, from the report Of the
press agent, it will excel any amateur
performance ever given in the city.
The opening will be very artistic
and elaborate-in fact, thing of rare
beauty. Besides the regular circle Of
black face comedians" and ballad
singers" with the interlocutor, at the
rear of the stage will be shown beau
tiful palm garden. Fifty society Ia
dies of the city will appear in full
evening gowns seated at tables en-
joying the festivities the occasion de-
mands. These ladies comprise the
chorus of the Ministries.
The program of Peter Pan is new
and up to date, the latest comic opera
songs and coon songs, and good popu-
lar music are used. The entire
repertoire is perfectly professional,
and under the direction of Miss Rog-
ers, with the assistance of the Guild,
the production will be in perfect readi-
ness to be put on Tuesday eve.

tenn of Kansas City, now known the
world over among engineers, the Gin
cinnati park and others. He made the
sketch for the Miss. A. & M. college.
The trustees, as intimated Saturday,
propose to develop a scheme for a
great university fifty years hence,
with probably dozen great buildings,
costing above a million dollars. The
grounds will be laid out on this scale
and the birds-eye view sketch will be
kept for the future guidance of archi-
tects and such trustees as may then
be in charge.
Plan Great Institution.
The trustees were deeply impressed
Saturday morning with DR.. Whitfeld's
plans for great institution. Step by
step he unfolded his views and when
he had concluded there was unanimous
approval. To secure thorough devel-
opment of the scheme, DR.. Whitfield
was practically placed in charge of all
details and from now on will be in
frequent consultation with the several
architects engaged in making up the
profile map.
Tirelessly he tramped over the land
during the inspection visit, often get
ting a view he had not before seen.
His enthusiasm spread to other mem
bers of the party and all were soon
imbued with the fargeness of his plans.
Nothing less than the best in the
South" was the way one trustee put it.
And that briefly portrayed DR.. Whit

DEADLY MINE GASES.

ana the fearful After Damp.
'White damp is the gas most feared
by the miners, for its properties rem
der 1t difficult to detect, inasmuch as
It is tasteless, odorless and colorless
and when mixed in the proportion of
about one part gas to nine parts air is
called 'firedamp" and becomes explo-
sive to a degree hard to realize unless
one has seen its effects.
Black damp, unlike white damp, is
heavier than air, a nonexplosive gas
which may be detected by its peculiar
odor. Again, unlike the other, its eff
feet is to suffocate and extinguish fire.
This gas is so heavy and moves with
such a sluggish flow that occasional
ly, when miners have been trapped in
a mine following an explosion and
have detected the black damp creep
ing in upon them by its smell, they
have been able to stop its advance by
erecting dams or barricades along the
floor, building them higher as the vol
ume Of gas increased and keeping the
air within their little Enclosure COM

STATES CONVICTS
To GET new UNIFORMS

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 30.-The peni-
Tertiary board of trustees is making
preparations to equip the 1900 con-
-victs on the four prison farms with
new summer uniforms. At the regu-
lar February meeting the board will
purchase the cloth to be used in the
manufacture of clothing for the felons.
1t will take about $4,000 yards of
seven-ounce cloth for this purpose, to
be delivered at the Oakley farm, where
the forty or more female convicts are
kept almost constantly employed maxi
ing uniforms for prisoners. The board
has found this plan more economical
than awarding the work of manufac-
ture to contractors. Many of the ne
crosses at the Oakley place have be-
come experts at the work, and oc-
casionally they are permitted to use
fanciful designs in the manufacture of
their own clothing. For instance,
some of them are wearing hobble
skirts as chic and modish as any that
can be found in shop windows or on
fashionable thoroughfares, albeit, the
cloth used is somewhat louder than
tie patterns that appeal to good dress
ers.
At the February meeting the prison
board will also purchase about $4,000
worth of groceries, such as coffee, rice,
-four, sugar, tobacco, gasoline, coal oil,
etc, the estimates being based on
what will be needed for the next four
months.
