DUSTY RHODES RETURNS
FROM HIS WANDER|NGS.
SPENT THREE YEARS AWAY FROM
HArrIEssuRe SEEING THE
WORLD.

Dusty" Rhodes. who up until three
years ago was the village cutup for
Hattiesburg, has returned to his native
strand after seeing the world"
In the family Bible his name is in
'scribed Royal. but nobody in Hatties-
burg ever called him anything but
DUSTY" from the time, at an early age.
he tickled the fetlocks of a livery
stable horse and got kicked across the
street, until he left here to seek his
fortune abroad.
He has been in Florida recently,
where he was engaged in the fruit
shipping business. Since leaving Hat
tiesburg he has been trying to live up
to his name and has disturbed the
dust he says, of many long road
His love for his home, however, was
stronger than his lust for gold and he
has returned to make this his head
quarters, he says.
Dusty" was the mascot and protege
OF Capt. Rich ever since the Sullivan
Kflrain fight at Richburg.
Jumped OF Court House.
He promoted most of the mischief
IN Hattiesburg from the time he was
able to toddle and got out of many
scrapes by a narrow margin, but it was
an harmless mischief and everybody
used to laugh and talk about it the
next day
DUSTY" once tried to initiate the
high diver who came here with
street fair. His platform was the Sec
0nd story gallery of the court house.
He had some boys holding net made
out of two sacks, but he missed the
net when he jumped and received
shock when he fell that would have
killed anyone else He was the pro-
moter of several dog and pony shows
at which he was always the star per-
former.
He once had the idea of going on the
stage, but that dream was rudely shat
tered. 1t was amateur night at one
of the local theatres. Dusty was
going to do buck and wing dance.
His friends were in force in the audi
ence and they were prepared.
Somebody was disrespectful enough
to smoker. "Cut that out" said
DUSTY A moment later he was
deluged under hail of missiles includ
ing cabbages, ancient eggs and a dead
rat or two. This caused him to give
mp the stage.
He says he has come back to stay.
He is the son of R. R. Rhodes, who,
for IS years, was a saw filler for the
Newman Company. He says he help
ed to fight the big fire of Dec. 26.
1899.

PLENTY OF FROL|C
ON STALLED TRAIN
Lakewood Special Passengers
Recount How They Danced
and Amused Themselves.

JERSEY CITY, March A. Eighty
six men and women, worn out and
sleepy, but all seeming to enjoy the
experience of being showed in train
for thirty-nine hours, were helped
from the train at Communipaw yes
terday afternoon when it was hauled
into the station. The train was the
express which left this city at 2:3O
Sunday afternoon bousd for Atlantic
City.
About two miles out of Red Bank
the train stopped in Patterson's cut.
Snow, ice and fallen telegraph poles
blocked the road and made further
progress impossible. Soon the snow
began to pile up on the side and on
the roofs of the coaches and the train
was practically buried.
The steam in the cars was kept up
by means of snow piled into the boil
ers Four of the women and two
men, several of them invalids, were
accommodated at the home of Harry
L. Powers, of Shrewsbury who came
with a sleigh and a welcome invita-
ton TO as many as wanted to come
| to his home. The passengers spent
Sunday afternoon and evening in
| playing cards, telling stories and
making acquaintance and then went
4
to sleep on the seats.
| The next morning they jumped out
and scrubbed their faces in the snow.
Then they amused themselves by
pelting each other with snowballs
and when this became tiresome they
leased Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Nathan
who had started to spend their honey
moon at Lakewood before going to
| their new home at 1000 Eastern Park
way, Brooklyn. But the victims
spoiled the fun by enjoying 1t. Then
those of the passengers who could,
danced the tango and the rest en-
joyed the fun from the "side-lines."
! A few of them liked the situation
SO much that they declined to be
taken along with the farmers who
offered them an opportunity TO get
out and waited until yesterday MORN
| ing when a train was sent out from
Red Bank and brought them away.
| There was only one man who was
dissatisfied and he went among the
passengers in the parlor car and tried
| TO obtain signatures to n petition
against the crew, But not only did
| he fail. but n counter subscription
commenting the crew, was eagerly
signed by everybody else
All the trains on the Jersey central
roads were opened today, the last
being the short route between Mat
| tawan and Freehold. The railroad
employed many gangs OF men TO
clear the tracks and expects to have
the entire system running IN good
order shortly.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Many of the
beautiful etchings and other prints
that make up a large part of the COL
lection of H. c. Hoskier, of South Or
ange, N. j., now being sold at the
American Art Galleries, commanded
good prices at the session yesterday.
The amount received from bidders
yesterday was $11056, making the
total up to date $17,546.
The chief feature of the sale last
night came when a large number of
art patrons gathered and became
greatly interested in the bidding for
fine impression of Valentine Green s
engraving of Reynolds's portrait of
the Duchess of Rutland. This fine
example of the art sold for S1,160.
The next highest price was for a
meZzotint by John Raphael Smith of

WILSON PRESIDENT
ONE YEAR TODAY


the doubt existing on the interpreta-
ton of the Hays Pauncefote treaty.
he urges the repeal of the much de-
bated provision.
The message tomorrow will be the
shortest of all. 1t is said to be less
than 500 words long. All of Mr.. VIII
sons addresses have been brief as
compared with those of his predeces-
sors.
Has Broken Many Precedents.
Washington residents of many years
to whom the ways and manners of a
President have been a matter of in
innate observation have watched
President Wilson with interest. He
has broken many precedents-his ways
have been quite informal. but the
most conspicuous characteristic of all
is his dissemination to making pub
lie Speeches. He has declined hun
dreds of invitations to functions in
all parts of the country. He has at
tended but one public banquet-last
nights ceremony of the National
Geographic Society when Colonel
Goetha1s was presented with gold
medal by Mr.. Wilson, on behalf or
the society. His only other speeches
were made to the American Red
Gross last December and one to the
DauRnlerS OF lHe AiiellcdIl INSNOiu-
ton. His trips out of Washington
have been few. While Congress has
been in session, the President has
made it q point to be at his desk
continuously.
Mr.. Wilson appears with uni
formed aide only at army or navy
functions, and the motor cycles which
used to precede the Presidents mo-
tor have been substituted by an au-
tomobile with secret service men who
follow inconspicuously behind so that
the President drives about Washing
ton attracting but little attention.
