The Leader regrets to chronicle the
departure about the first of Mrs. Claude
Rives and Miss Rosalie Baptist to Bir-
mingham. The Baptist family have
been part Of West Hoint for more
than ffty years, and lived in this Sec
ton even longer than that, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Baptist lived at Palo Alto for a
number of years, and there the late
John Baptist was born. The Baptist
home during all the years has been
noted for its open-hearted, open-handed
hospitality, and it is hard to believe
that the cottage on Main street. with
its broad sweep of beautiful lawn, could
ever be associated with any other FAM
lily. The Leader extends its best
wishes to these descendants of friends
of "auld lang syne, and hopes that
happiness and prosperity may be their
portion in their new home. West Point

An obstinate man does not hold
opinions, but they hold him; fol
when he is once possessed with an
error, it is like a devil-only cast
out with great difficulty. He de.
lights most of all to differ in things
Indifferent. He is resolved to un.
derstand no mans reason but his
own, because he finds no man can
understand his but himself. His
opinions are like plants that grow
upon rocks, that stick fast though
they have no roofing. The more
inconsistent his views are, the fast.
er he holds them, otherwise they
would fall asunder of themselves:
for opinions that are false ought to
be held with more strictness than
those that are true, otherwise they
will be apt to detray their owners
before they are aware. Bishop

1t was recommended that these gen.
tlemen try to see every democrat in
their respective districts and secure
contributions to the national democratic
campaign fund.
Hon. w. ]. Hubbard moved that
every democrat in the county be urged
to contribute some amount. however
small, to the cause Of democracy. The
motive was carried unanimously.
1t is the idea of the club that the
contributions be made to the various
vice-presidents and that when an ap-
preciable amount is raised it shall be
sent to the democratic treasurer.
The president recommends that the
vice-presidents deposit their collections
to their local banks and these to the
Merchants & Farmers Bank so that
when Noxubee county's contributions
go in they will go in a lump ssm and
make showing for the county.

ARCHBISHOP ELECTED.
Provisional President of Dominican
Republic Chosen by Legislators.

The election of Archbishop Nouel as
provisional President OF the Dominican
Republic is practically accomplished, ac-
cording to State Department advices yes
terday afternoon. The Dominican senate
voted unanimously in favor OF the arch
bishop, and the house did likewise. but
Dominican law requires that the house
shall vote on the election three times.
ard not more than once In one day, so
that three days will be required to COM
plete the voting.
The election of the archbishop is in
accordance with the compromise pro-
gramme suggested by the United States
commissioners and agreed to by the Vic
toria government, since resigned, and
the revolutionists. Elections for a per
manent President will be held as soon
as normal conditions are restored in the
republic. Archbishop Nouel will be in
stalled as President within a day or two,
and one of his first steps will be to re-
open the custom houses on the Haitian
Dominican border and establish q Gus
toms patrol to prevent smuggling on the
frontier.

Cocos Island Again.

From the ProTidencs journal.
The tradition of Cocos Island persists
In a fine state Of preservation In compe-
tition with tales of pirate gold, or treas
ure trove from wreck, elsewhere on the
shores of the Seven Seas deliberately
hidden or accidentally submerged. The
Till & Davis Company, Limited, an Eng
lish corporation, was much In earnest
when 1t sought Cocos last year. and the
failure Of the expedition apparently has
not discouraged the quest Till & Davis,
IL appears, are women-Mrs. Barrie Till
and Miss ]. Brockley Davis. 1t is now
reported that they have the trail Of
cave in which the stuff, to the value Of
500 900, 900, as accredited in the classic
narration. Is certainly concealed. They
will try again. The lure Of Cocos thus
becomes more engaging with every
failure.
This treasure island of the first rank
lies 900 miles OF the coast of Costa Rica,
to which country 1t belongs, and 500
from the nearest point where the Ameri-
can nag waves-Panana- There Is said
to be a government official resident
there. serving voluntarily, but the in
habItants are mostly transient and usu-
ally are treasure seekers. It appears
that the treasure is free to any finder on
condition that Costa Rica be given 50
per cent. That there is treasure on
Cocos some evidence exists. and 1t Is
also agreed that, because of earthquakes
in the interval since the last deposit.
the location Of any part Of the wealth
would be a feat of engineering as well
as of guesswork. On the other hand,
there is the comfortable assurance that
whatever the value of the loot success
sive pirates are supposed to have cached
there, It is still there. Failure to find
even SO much as a handful OF pieces-of-
eight, or a single richly Jeweled altar
have been too numerous to-
mention. while the only successes even
SO much as rumored amounted to no
more than the scraping Of few hun
bred thousand dollars worth of assorted
trinkets from the surface.

Short Story Club.

The semi-monthly meeting of the Short
Story Club was held last Tuesday even
ing at the w. c. T. U. parlorsL $50 Sixth
Street Northwest, Prof. L P. Wilder pre-
siding and the programme under charge
Of H. W. Selah.
An interesting feature Of this seasons
meetings, THE Composite Story" was
given in the minutes of the recording
secretary. Mrs. NJ. NJ. Metcalf. the open
ing chapter having been presented pre-
viously by Mrs. Houghton. The second
chapter, cleverly continued by Mrs. C.
a. Thomas, was, in her absence, read
by Prof. Wilder.
W. D. Mackenzie's paper, "A voteless
City" embodied an interesting detailed
account of the one-time existence of
suffrage In the District OF Columbia, de-
plotting the struggles II went through
and the reasons assigned by its enemies
and partisans alike for its final failure.
The speaker uttered both a hope and
prophecy in trusting the time Is not far
OF when equal suffrage shall exist in the
most beautiful city OF the greatest re-
public Of the world" The humor and
tragedy OF the lives OF gold seekers in
Alaska were well brought out by Mr..
Milan in The Cremation of Sam Nc
Gee" and The Shooting of Dan Nc
Guire," two famous poems by Malcolm
Duncan, the Canadian author of Poems
by Sour Dough" Prof Wilder gave
some original verse, "A Thanksgiving
Hymn" and F. C. Barbour depicted the
odd wooing and winning Of Sarepta, the
daughter OF an Indiana villages magnate,
by Thomps, the hired man, as told in
the quaint verse Of James Whitcomb
Riley.
Musical numbers included the follow
ing selections: Piano solo from a compo-
sition of Nevin, by Miss Miriam Selah;
Bischoffs THE Rose 1 Gave YOU"
Hardelots ''Mignon." Greene's Sing Me
to Sleep" vocal solos by Mrs. A. @.
Drake. Mrs. Jennie Myson Lind was her
accompanist, and in addition presented
the numbers for piano, ITO My Beloved"
by Edward Schutt, and fantasia from
one of Griegs' suites.

Miss Margaret Fisher as Marion. gave
