100000 SHIPS OF THE NAVY
Stories of the Texas. Which Was Al
 ways in III Luck

From the Washington Post.
 Naval officers are guessing whether the United States battleship Nebraska. which ran upon an uncharted shoal short time ago. Is going to take tne place
 of the ill-fated Texas, later named the
 San Marcos, which was the hoodoo ship of the navy" remarked Capt. l.. L.. Dar- bey, retired naval officer, at the Will Hard "Ill luck pursued the Texas almost
 from the beginning, and it seemed that
 it was never out of trouble during all the time it was in commission, except at the
 battle of Santiago, where 1t did great
 work.
 Before the Spanish-Americaa war the Texas while being overhauled at the
 Brooklyn navy yard was sunit because
 the yolles of it's sea cocks were broken in the course of repairs, and the water poured in just as if the boat had been scuttled. The Texas sank as every knows, and was raised as soon as possible IL was on that occasion that Capt. Jack Phillips, one of the bravest and best

A New Principal ill

 Most creams are injurious when used habitually. They clog the pores and eventually form permanent, soggy, stifling film which interferes with elminative action and makes the skin sickly and pasty.

 Lost and recovered within a few days for the second time within three decades a beautiful painting by Van Mieris has drawn international attention to the famous Uffizi museum at Florence, the gallery which contains, among other things the World-renowned collection of artists portraits painted by themselves. The stolen picture, though small. was sup posed to be worth several thousands of dollars, and it's loss was at once notlhed to the police, who were supplied With photographs of Van Meris. Armed with these they searched every likely place ir Florence, and soon found the object cf their search in small curiosity shop. The keeper of the shop attached no irr- portance to the picture.

The committee of inquiry which pro- ceeded to Kochana has definitely es- tablished the responsibility of the mil itary authorities of that place for the recent massacre. The commission, therefore, asked that a member of the courtmartial should be sent to Kochana with a view to examining some of the persons implicated and bringing them before the military court. Colonel Said Bey has accordingly been dispatched to make the needful investigations.

The South Before The War.

Our able contemporary, the
Jackson News, commenting upon a
statement as to the enormous
amount Of treasure buried during
the civil war, says;
"The picture is exaggerated, be-
cause the South never had that
much wealth in coin before the war,
when it wasn't as rich in devel.
oped wealth as it is today"
The South was the most enOr-
mously wealthy region ever pill
LACED by an invader since the days
of Babylon. To be from the South
was to be regarded as a man of
wealth wherever u Southern man
Travelled. Money was so plentiful
that almost any mans note was
deemed good. Store accounts were
settled once a year. Any man of
good character could borrow
money. Almost every town had
its mills, wagon factories, etc.
Every enterprise proposed could
find financial backing. Every
plantation made all the feed stuffs
it could consume A big foundry
established at Holly Springs built
the great iron Mooresque building
in New Orleans. Aberdeen had
the biggest cotton gin factory in
the country and also made steam
engines, fine carriages, and had
two wagon factories, a flour mill
and other industries. Down at
Cafr0llt0n and at other places
they were building cotton factories
when the war arrested operations.
Almost every town in the State
had its factory Of some kind, and
high living and luxury was the
general rule. Millions were in
vested in Confederate bonds; mil
lions in coin were buried; tens of
thousands were expended by indi-
viduals in arming and equipping
military commands, and the entire
South was on ''casy street. when
the guns opened on Fort Sumpter.
After the war vast quantities of
buried treasure was exhumed, in
vested and lost in the early eX-
>periments of making cotton with
free negroes who were swayed by
Freedman's Bureau officials and
demoralized by mongrel politics.
1t was after the war that the South
was 10 initiated into the baneful
habit of buying meat and corn to
make cotton in a region that be-
fore the war had a surplus of meat
to sell and of corn togive away

Greenwood LeFIOre's influence
over the Indians was good and

Gil enacted laws for the support Of

sorcery, and secured to every
homicide a fair trial despite the
unwritten Indian law of blood for

hibited the sale of intoxicants and
encouraged religions and civil mar.

ton of the soil, and the Christian
religion.
He was always the unhinching
champion of his people. At one
time, being satisfied that the
agent of the United States was
making unjust demands on his
people and dealing dishonesty
with them, he appealed to the
President Jackson for the Agents
