Husband and Wife to Make New
Starry. Johann and his wife Marie
have kissed and made up. Johann was
arrested on complaint of his wife, VINO
told the police her husband was starv-
ing her to death because he suspected
her of infidelity. In police court Jo-
ham told a sensational story of boy

tria to Davenport in an attempt to
steal his wife. The mysterious man
was brought into police court and
Mrs. Johann then and there declared
she would have nothing to do with the
charmer. She also averred that there
had never been anything wrong in
their relations at any time. Il care for

was charged with disturbing the peace,
was dismissed, and the other man was
warned by the court TO stay in his own

See Peace at Nation.
His lieutenants asserted that the
backbone OF opposition to his nomina-
ion had been broken by the sudden
termination OF the row between MI
Sullivan and the new postmaster at
Nation, Edward F. Poorman- Mr..
Poorman was in Chicago yesterday
and visited Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Sui
livan's attorneys. II is rumored that
Mr.. Poorman's newspaper will retract
completely the editorial upon which
Mr.. Sullivan brought libel suit,
which was to have come up for trial
at Nation next Monday. This editor
ial, the Sullivan managers assert, form
ed the basis of the bulk of the anti
Sullivan downstate campaign.
The state committee adopted reso-
lutions calling for the nomination OF
at least two candidates for the house
Of representatives in Springfield from
each senatorial district The idea is
to insure the nomination OF enough
democrats to secure control of the
house by a democratic caucus in the
event of a general democratic victory
in November. The point is that DEM
ocratic congressional and senatorial
reapportionment can be made with
democratic majority in both branches
of the general assembly. The politi-
clans asserted, also. that the admins
tration would work in harmony with
this policy.

"Treed again; but it's probably a

Some such conversations could be
overheard on the street cars a few
weeks ago, when Pass Christian
began to force itself on the first page
ofthe newspapers. Now, however,
the public has become more en-.
lightened.
We have all discovered that Pass
Christian is a town showing acute
symptoms Of becoming a noted
winter resort. President Wilson
placed Pass Christian on the map.
at least for the Eastern people. How
President Wilson discovered Pass
Christian is another story, but that
he selected this gulf town for his
holiday stay would seem Of itself a
sufficient recommendation. But for
the sake Of the curious more detail is
needed. For these Charles n.
Torsch has given the following:
For many years our Northern
people have enjoyed the cold winters
by returning South after the holiday
season. With the direct routes to
rlOrlda so numerous, everyone
naturally associates winter vacations
with the beautiful resorts in Georgia
and Florida.
The consequence has been that
the people in the East rarely give
any thought to our Southern country
elsewhere, except to visit New Or
leans for the Mardi Gras; and the
Mississippi Gulf Coast has been en-
loyed by Chicago and Western
people, to whom it is so easily ac-
cessible. The great majority Of the
people East are totally ignorant of
this section Of the United States
which welcomes the residents Of the
cold wintry North to turn southwark

his home by frequent trains at the
convenient hours. Bay St. Louis
and Pass Christian receive about
fifty per cent Of the summer patron
age and the balance is equally d.
.vided among the five remaining
towns.
There is trolley line which runs
from Pass Christian. This follows
closely in coast line and affords a
splendid view Of handsome resi-
dences the entire length. Since a
large portion has been erected dur
ing the last fifteen years, it can be
assumed thatthe architectural beauty
is not excelled anywhere, save, per-
hapS, on the New Jersey coast.
About three miles from Biloxi the
trolley line passes Beauvoir, the
handsome old home Of jefferson
Davis which is now the home Of
Confederate veterans Of the South.
During the summer there is held
a succession Of regattas all along the
Coast. Each town has its own
yacht club and there is a keen but
friendly rivalry between them.
Taking it all in all the charm Of
this beautiful little town is best
appreciated in the winter season
when the lovely climate is unsur.
passed. Being only thirty hours
distant from Washington, there !,
no reason why it should not con

full enjoyment Of a balmy climate
surrounded BY the beautiful flowers
Of summer.
Ii IS not the climate only that has
cartured the visitors. From Mobile
TO New Orleans, about l4O miles,
two thirds Of the distance the ttavel-
er is carried BY the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad along the water
front Of Mississippi Sound. The
flilfoad is not far from the splendid
shell road which lines the Coast and
being a flat country affords an un-
ending succession Of interesting
drives. Not to mention the smaller
locations, il may be said the frst
glimpse Of the Gulf Coast may be
obtained at Pascagoula (formery
Scranton), and the white roads
gliSteniag in the sun tempts one to
leave the railroad as early As possi-
bic. Twenty miles beyond the
traveller approaches Ocean Springs,
the second point Of attraction. Next
comes Biloxi, the largest town after
Mobile; then Gulfport, then Long
Beach, Pass Christian and Bay St.
Louis.
These seven towns extend to
within ftty-two miles from New
Orleans, From Bay St. Louis is
marshy land enjoyed by fishermen
and gunners, who run out Of New
Orleans for a days fishing or duck
hunting.
OF these towns Biloxi, Pass
Christian and Bay st. Louis have
land records which date back over
two hundred years. The others are
much more recent, and, in fact,
Gulfport is only about fifteen years
old, although commercially il ranks
first. II exports more lumber than
any other city in the United States.
There are at times fifty steamers at
her wharves waiting to load lumber
for every European market. This
lumber is all cut in Mississippi and
comes from the centre Of the State
by rail to Gulfport.
The Great Southern Hotel at
Gulfport erected about six years ago,
is modern in every particular and
not exceled by any other hotel on
the Coast. Many visitors to Pass
Christian spend their time at Gulf
port, since it adjoins it and seems
to be a business end of the Pass.
Though there is more or less
rivalry between the seven towns
mentioned, by reason Of greater
business activity, It may be said
without exception Pass Christian is
considered by all to be the most
beautiful location on the Coast.
The writer had the pleasure Of
residing there two yearsand enjoyed

the boating ard driving to the fullest
extent. The front drive bordering
on the Gull Of Mississippi Sound
extends eight miles from Long Beach
to Henderson Point. From Biloxi
to this point is over thirty miles Of
continued beach font dive.
While large white oak trees abound
TO a greater or less extent along this
entire distance, at Pass Christian
these grand old trees have reached
their greatest perfection. The resi-
dences on the beach front are all
handsome and imposing and, sur
rounded by these wonderful trees,
appeal to the highest conception Of
the beautiful. Over the large part
Of the driveway there is a line Of
these trees which bound the outer
edge Of the drive and the branches
arch across the road, interacing with
the trees fronting the residences,
forming a shady drive for many
miles, filled with the invigorating
breezes from the Gulf. Nothing is
more beautiful than to behold in the
east the glorious sunrise thrown
across the waters its radiance Of
every imaginable color.
Taking into consideration the
natural beauties Of this little town,
it may be said that after a short
residence the visitor finds it'more and
more difficult to depart. II gains by
comparison with many Northern
points, and may truly be called the
Saratoga Of the South. With the
aid Of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad and some judicious adver-
tising it would become the winter
meeting place for great conventions.
There are ample hotel accomoda-
tions supplemented by a large num-
Der of delightful boarding houses.
The hotels all face the Gulf, and
have handsome surroundings. This
Mexican Gulf, the Magnolia, Lynn
Castle, the Crescent, all vie with
one another to make visitors feel al
home. Southern hospitality is no'
mere name, and when accompanied
by such wonderful natural beauty
every visitor is reluctant to end hi:
stay.
From January to May the winte
visitors from Illinois, Indiana and th,
Northwest are glad to leave behinC
the cold blasts Of their own climat,
and enjoy the balmy breezes Of thr
Gulf and the delightful homes OF
the beach.
There are probably only two 0
three days during the entire winte
which are cold. It rarely lasts owe
twenty-four hours.
From June to October the resi-
dents Of New Orleans make thei
plans to spend the sumner at one Q

or by leasing a furnished house
