The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1911-01-21

The case of the Louisville &; Nash
vile Railroad Company is to be heard
next week, and Attorney-General Hud-
son, who will appear in the case in per-
son, is busy preparing his answer to the
pleadings of the railroad.
This will be the first test OF the An
derson law to prohibit foreign corpora
tions removing litigation from the State
to the Federal courts, and is a friendly
suit intended to determine the validity
of that act.
At the last session of the Mississippi
legislature, Justice w. D. Anderson
of the Supreme Court, then State
senator, introduced bill which was
enacted into law, intended to prevent
foreign corporations ignoring the State
conrts. When a suit is filed against a
| foreign corporation the case is usually
carried to the Federal court by the de-
fendant, thus con-pletely ignoring the
State courts. and Sastice Anderson
thinks the principal of his is all wrong.
| This case will be carries to the U. S.
Supreme Court for final dtesion. and
i the decision is against the sats. the
Anderson law will be declared na' aud
void.

| Once upon time the great oceans
were looked upon as the incarnation oi
all evils. To take passage in ship
meant great risk of life, not to mention
the suspension of ordinary comforts fol
the time being.
Now the immense expanses of water
virtually the only thing of great i'm
portance in all the world commonly or
mutually owned by everybody, are being
utilized not only for commerce, but fol-
| the promotion of human comforts.
1t has been only century or SO since
all ocean-going vessels were dependant
upon the wind alone for propelling
force. Boats afloat were small, crude
affairs which made sea journeys nothing
less than Affections.
The time has come, however, when a
trip to Europe may be safer and more
pleasant than journey by railroad or
any other conveyance across the conti-
nent.
Recent advances in ship building are
epitomized quite aptly by an exchange
as follows:
The year 1911 will break all records
for steamship construction as to size
and number. One company alone is
adding seventeen passenger vessels to
it's fleet, increasing it's present tonnage
by IL per cent, giving it total OF
1,O23,453 under one house flag. This
does not include the freight steamers in
it's fleet. The Europa, now being built,
has length of 900 feet and tonnage
of 50, 1000; this means displacement OF
10000 tons. A description OF this mon
ster sea house says the material to be
used in it's construction will weigh 14O,-
900, 900 pounds. 1t would, therefore, re-
quire 100000 men, or about the popu-
lation of Philadelphia, each carrying
100 pounds, to handle this material. Ii
this was loaded upon the largest Ame-
rican freight cars, it would ill train
forty-four miles in length, which, by
the way, would extend all the way
across the Panama canal. The COM
bined capacity of three largest hotels
in New York city is 1888 persons, while
the Eutopa carried 4,250 passengers. 1t
will have beam of ninety-six feet, so
that her deck will be as wide as Bro ad-
way at it's widest point. She will have
nine decks above the water line, which
is the height of the largest apartment
houses, thus making her literally sky
scraper afloat. The population OF a
small city will be luxuriously accommo-
dated aboard without crowding, since
her capacity will slightly exceed 5000.
The old familiar standard of compari-
son, such as the height Of the statue OF
liberty or the Washington monument,
are completely outclassed. The decks
decks alone will require 100000 feet OF
Oregon fir lumber, which for months
has been drying near Portland before
being shipped to Germany, where the
vessel is being built.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.

All men who have any love for ami.
mails must loYe the dog, the best friend
of man, and these viii sympathize with
the following tribute paid by Edgar
Howard, editor of the Columbus (Neb.)
Telegram, to dog that he loved:
"Bix is dead. Blk was dog in the
animal kingdom, but tall man in the
attributes of kindness and loyalty. He
never spoke about his own virtues, but
he showed them in his everyday life.
wish I might know the man who gave
the deadly poison to my dog. I have
no desire to carry physical injury to
that man, but only desire to make him
a better and a gentler man by painting
for him a picture of poor Blk and his
sufferings. For many days, under skill
full treatment Of veterinary, and the
nursing of those who loved him, Blk
fought against the effects of the drug,
never complaining, never showing re-
sentiment, rewarding every effort in his
behalf with wag of his tail or with an
expression of thanks from his kindly
eye. In the last effort for life he dragged
himself to my feet, raised his dropping
muzzle, and laid it in my hand, as l
have oft seen a child repose weary
head on mothers knee. Thus he died,
and in the death-glaze upon his brown
eyes thought read message of par
don for the whipping | gave him one
day, when anger had driven from my
head that fair sense of reason which
should direct the movements of men, if
not of dogs. have never been able to
accept the teaching of those ancients
who held that at death time the souls of
men and women sometimes are trans
ferred to the bodies of birds and dogs,
but if | could accept that view I should
believe that one day there lived upon
the earth rare and radiant soul within
the body of the gentlest woman that
ever came to brighten and to bless the
earth with her good presence, and that
when she died the death of the body the
gods transferred her soul to the body of
poor Blk, so gracious and good he was.
But can't believe such things, and all
hat is left for me now is to give to Blk
n my memory garden a place among
he roses, with a promise and pledge

nen reflect somewhat the lessons of 10y
llty and kindness acquired by contact
With my dog. And SO, good Blk, good
,ye."
Most of us have felt as Mr.. Howard
las felt about the loss Of dog. When
Dixie died-but we wffll7set that pass. 1t

CHAPTER XIV.
Old Friends,


Bruxton Sands was as genuinely as
tonished as q man OF deliberateness
could be when a clerk entered the
private room OF his office suite in a
Bowling Green skyscraper and told
him a lady wished to see him. He was
about to instruct the clerk to ask for
the lady's card when. giancing over
the youths head, he glimpsed a gol-
den CLEAN under n big hat with sweep
ing plumes through the doorway and
in an instant was crossing the TIRES
hold with both hands extended.

really good OF you. Things were get.

Mrs. Missioner smiled in that per.
vading way that long ago had meme
trated to the very core OF tho million
aires inner consciousness. That smile
illuminated Sands somewhat gloomy
sanctuary. He welcomed Mrs. Mis-
sioner to a comfortable chair beside
his broad desk. swept aside the heap
Of formidable papers with great gold
seals and flnttering legal ribbons. and

to wait century for his visitor to
speak again, provided her smile should
continue to beam upon him,

"Then you think" said Fitch eager

Yes" said Britt calmly, "and 1t

so absorbed in the subject as they

they did not notice dark-faced man
