SOCIETY
ISSUES AN ANNUAL

The Prestonian society of the Missis-
slppi Normal College, before the close
of the regular session, got out a very
handsome annual, which will doubtless
be cherished as a souvenir by those
who were members of the society in
the first session of the Mississippi
Normal college and by those friends
into whose hands the publication falls.
The book contains numerous half tone
portraits of students and professors
and much historical data. Several
original articles of both prose and
poetry appear in the publication. The
editorial work was done by J.J. Melvin
of Jones county.

great outpouring of London society to-
day for the opening of the Noah's Ark
Fair in Albert Hall. The fair, which
will continue two days, is given in aid

Duchess of Marlborough, the Countess
Of Longsdale and a number of other
women in the highest ranks of the
nobility are among the members of
the committee.
The delighted throngs that wandered
through the aisles of the big hall at the
opening this afternoon afforded evi-
dence that the efforts of the promoters
to make the fair one OF the "biggesL
and best" ever given in the metropolis
had met with success. Novel and at.
tractive features were to be encounter
ed at every turn. Not the least at
tractive was the American bar,
where so-called American mixed drinks
were dispensed to the thirsty. Lord
Lonsdale presided as chief barkeepeI
and was assisted in making up the
beverages by Prince Paul of Servia
Count Elsen and Prince Obelenski.

DEMONSTRATION
FOR MILLSAPS
AUDIENCE AT COLLEGE COM
MENcEMENT CHEERS MENTION
OF HIS LIBERAL GIFTS.

Jackson, Miss, June 1.-THE dona-
tion by Mai. R. w. Millsaps of a new
office building on Capitol street and
two adjoining stores, to Millsaps col
lege, takes rank as the largest gift
ever rendered by one man to an edu-
cational institution In this state, and
has aroused much enthusiastic appre-
citation, especially among members of
the two Mississippi conferences of the
Methodist church, by which the college
is endowed and governed.
The board Of trustees, at their final
session, expressed deep appreciation
of the gift in resolutions adopted, and
great demonstration took place in the
chapel just before President A. r.
Watkins conferred degrees on the
graduates.
Bishop W. B. Murrah, first president
of the college, and now president of
the board of trustees, paid.an elaborate
tribute to Maj; Millsaps, and referred
to his gift as monument to the col
lege that will stand for all time to
come. His address stirred the audi
ence to the highest pitches of enthusi-
asm.
Bishop Murrah, after congratulating
the college on the auspicious closing of
the 21st annual session, and the board
of trustees for the very harmonious
work, the citizens of Jackson over the
fact that this splendid institution is
located in their midst, and referred to
the fact that he knew of many cities
that would gladly pay several hundred
thousand dollars for such a college, il
it could be transferred bodily to their
midst. He referred especially to Dal
las, Tex, where the citizens recently
gave one million dollars In money and
realestate to secure an institution that
will hardly reach the proportions oi
Millsaps college within the next twenty
years. He spoke of the fact that dur
ing the past twenty years he had fre
quently been thrilled and exhilaratet
by generous and kindly gifts made by
the honored founder of the institution
to meet emergencies which were press
ing persistently on the college, and il
eloquent words referred to the magntf
cent gift just made by Maj. Millsap'
of office buildings on Capitol stree
valued at not less than $15O,O0O, an'
which were recently completed, on
being a handsome six-story building
with stores adjoining.
At this point the audience became s.
enthusiastic that at Bishop Murrah'
suggestion, all arose to their feet an
with waving handkerchiefs gave Ma
Millsaps the chatauqua salute. Tn
venerable philanthropist, who occupie
: seat almost in the rear Of the stag
was deeply affected. The demonstr'
: tion has never been equalled in tn
7 history of the institution.
