Cesarewitch.
rom the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The Cesarewitch, as the visitor to
Newmarket soon discovers. is pro-
nounced more or less according to the
taste and fancy Of the pronouncer,
though it is advisable not to strive
after anything like the real Russian
pronunciation. "Caesar-witch" is good
enough for business purposes. AS to
spelling, that OF the race is fixed in q
shape fairly convenient for the Eng
lfshman. while, II one wants to refer
to the czar's son, one may spell pretty
much as, one pleases. with the certain
ty that any possible way has been done
repeatedly. Modern Russians rarely use
except In church prayers, preferring
gosudar, gosudarynia and naslednik.

Wagner's Sacrifice.
the International Magazine.

-HIEuLltc.
Wagner, the great apostle OF individ-
ualism--what did he sacrifice himself
for? What was his sacrific to humanity? :?
Did he die for his faith, or was he, as
his adversaries will have it, mere self
indulgent pleasure seeker, incapable of
any sacrifice whatsoever, much less of a
great one to humanity at large? Berres
holds him capable of the greatest human
sacrifice, and refers lis to- his biography.

be withheld from those who poach-but
what outsider can Judge Of the real state
of affairs under the surface? Certainly.
the highest rewards OF the spirit can
never belong to the poacher: and In the

finely trained conscience which We know
we have not violated. and heart which
refuses to take a dishonest advantage at
the cost of some one else's pain.

BANK LEGISLATION AND GROWTH.

At the recent meeting of State
Bakers at West Point the chief
feature of one of the morning ses-
sions was the address of McLane
Tilton. of Pell City, Ala, secretary
of the Alabama Bankers Associa-
tion. His address was connfied
solely to wise banking legislation.
He reviewed the existing Ala
bama banking laws and their excel
lent results, and manner of proceed
ure q the Alabama Bankers Asso-
clation in securing enactment of
the same. He cited the weak and
strong points in the proposed Miss
issippi laws and offered timely sug-
gestions as to remedy and proceed
ure. He affirmed that no law
should be enacted that could not
Withstand the white light of public
scrutiny.
Hon. R. G. King, Of Greenwood
followed with rehearsal of inter-
esting statistics as to bank develop
ments, showing that in IL years
the Mississippi banking business
had increased 300 per cent. an in
crease equaled by only two other
localities in the country. He also
laid great stress upon the necessity
for improved banking conditions in
Mississippi for the mutual protec-
tion of both banks and patrons, and
urged the necessity of immediate
action.

Jackson Postrnastership.

Jackson. Miss, May 19. The
postmastership at Jackson is again
being discussed, and while there
remain several months of the four
year term of R. o. Edwards, pres
ent incumbent, the question as to
his. successor furnishes live topic
of discussion. According to the
wise one. Thomas P. Barr, we'll
known citizen, who closed out his
mercantile business in order to be-
come chief of police, is slated for
recommendation by Senator Varda-
man. who is, s,presumed to have the
naming of the jackson postmaster.
There are others who would like to
succeed Mr.. Edwards. and no one
can predict just what will happen
before the matter is determined.
There has been no more consistent
and aggressive Vardaman man and
worker in the State than Mr.. Barr,
and the impression is that if the
junior senator has the naming of
the Jackson postmaster, and Mr..
Barr should desire the place, he
could probably secure it.

BRETER WILL DISSOLVE IS ANGST PITABLE CASE
Half Million Dollar Concern at Bogue
Chitto to Adjudicate Business
After Long Court Battle.

jackson, Miss. May ga
solvent debtor, whether individual,
firm pr corporation. can file vol
untary petition in bankruptcy in
the Federal court, according to a
ruling made this morning by Hon.
M. West referee in bankruptcy ip
this district.
In consequence of this ruling,
the affairs of the B. E. Brister
Lumber Company, a half million
dollar corporation domiciled in
Lincoln county. will be adjudicated
in the bankruptcy court. regardless
of the contention Of minority stock
holders that the corporation is not
.insolvent.
Referee West was appointed
special master to take evidence in
the case and submit a report, with
recommendations to Judge Niles,
the taking of testimony was con-
saluded yesterday, and report filed
this morning recommending that
the affairs of the company be ad-
judicated on the basis of the volun-
tary bankruptcy petition filed sew
eral days since.
The affairs of the lumber COM
pany have been in litigation in the
Lincoln county circuit court for
several months. Reduced to final
analysis, it is fight between the
majority and minority stockholders,
the latter stoutIy contending that
the corporation is not insolvent,
and that the application in chan
cery for receivership was an effort
to freeze them out.
The original bankruptcy proceed
ing was filed by the board of
directors, whereupon the minority
stockholders raised the point that
the directors had no authority for
such action; that only the stock
holders of a corporation can put it
in bankruptcy. The directors then
cured this defect by calling meet
ing of the stockholders and getting
their action ratified by a majority
vote.
Numerous other legal points were
brought in the case, but are now
Of no avail since the special master
has ruled in behalf of a regular
proceeding in the bankruptcy court,
and trustees will be appointed to
straighten out the tangle.
