For the first time in history the Hat

The National Congress has never set
aside any holiday to celebrate the an
niversary of a Confederate leader, but
the postal laws permit the postmaster
to declare holiday whenever the state
in which the postoffice is situated has
so ordered, and postmaster Fuller took
advantage of this clause to make this
a holiday with the local postoffice force

field Could Stop.

Charged with assault and battery,
Henry Brown, one of Darktown's High
Browns" was arraigned this morning
before Mayor Batson, in city court
The battery consisted of H. Brown,
pitcher and CAL fairfield catcher.
fairfield stopped only one pitch, how
ever, and that was half brick which
came with such force that it caved in
his double reinforced skull. The as
sault was committed several days ago,
but was not tried because Cal was not
able to appear in court to testify why
he tried to stop the wild pitch with
his head.
The mayor turned the case over to
Squire H. c. Greer's court, because he
said it looked like an assault with
intent to kill. Meantime Henry is held
until major league scout can get here

GRACE M'CANN and HENRY COOK
ARE SECOND With 99.9 EACH
Many Scores Would Have Been Higher
II Babies Had Been Used to Crowds
and Hadn't Cried-More Than Twen-
ty-five Were In Yesterday After
moons Contest.

Hazel Garner, aged twentyone
months is the most perfect baby in
Hattiesburg. At least that is what the
judges of the Better Babies Contest,
at the office of the Traction Company,
said yesterday after examining about
twenty-five contestants between the
ages of six months and three years.
Hazel was given a score of 100 and
Henry Cook with an average of 800
, came next. Claude Nixon, Stuart
Featherstun Stevents and William
Hutchins also made high scores.
Those who made an average of more
than 90 per cent were as follows:
Henry Yarbrough, Dorothy Walker, Ar.

tin, James Ingram, Mary Dalier, James
Albritten, o. N. Johnson, Jr., Ruth
Davis, Elsey Abney, Harold Johnson
Mary Hammack, Argel Lassiter, James
O'Brien, Marcella Ogden, Stokes Rob
ertson, Jr., Martin Simmons and julia
Wright.
The scores would have been mucf
higher had it not been for the fac
that many of the babies had neve
been in a better babies contest before
and were frightened by the judges ant
the crowd. Several of them, according
to Mrs. B. M. Foster, spoiled a perfec
score by crying, which is against tn
rules of the Better Babies Contest.
The contest will be continued toda.

At 3,4!OF AN OUNCE
WEIGHT ASCERTAINED AS TU.
BERcULosIs PATIENT DIED,
DR.. McDOUGAL.

Boston, June 3.-Dr. Duncan Nc
Dougal of Haverhill says he has found
the weight of the soul Of a dying man.
"My first subject was a man dying
of tuberculosis" he said today. 1T
seemed to me best to select patient
dying with a disease that produces
exhaustion, the death occurring with
little or no muscular movement, be-
cause in such a case the beam could
be kept perfectly at balance and any
loss occurring readily noted.
1.-THE patient was under observation
for three hours and forty minutes be-
fore death, lying on bed arranged on
light framework built upon very
delicately balanced platform beam
scales.
1.-The patients comfort was looked
after in every way, although he was
practically moribund when placed
upon the bed. He lost weight slowly
at the rate of one ounce per hour, due
to evaporation of moisture in respira'
ton and evaporation of sweat.
During all three hours and forty
minutes | kept the beam end slightly
above balance near the upper limiting
bar in order to make the test more
decisive if it should come.
"At the end of three hours ano
forty minutes he expired, and sudden
ly, coincident with death, the bean
end dropped with an audible stroke
hitting against the lower limiting bal
and remaining there with no rebound
"The loss was ascertained to b.
three-fourths of an ounce.
"This loss of weight could not b.
due to evaporation of respirator,
moisture and sweat, because that ha'
already been determined to go on, Il
his case, at the rate of one-sixtietl
of an ounce per minute, whereas thi
loss was sudden and large-three
fourths Of an ounce in a few seconds.
