Revival Blamed for
Conviction Of Woman

HATTIESBURG. Miss. Dec. 90. =
Because the jury heard a revival ser

Elliott, negress. convicted of operating
a blind tiger" is asking for
Tho motion for the new trial states
that the jury was unable to agree on
retiring from the courtroom, and was
permitted to go to a tent revival
meeting. It happened that the evan.
gelist took for his text "TVine Is q
Mocker, and Strong Drink Is Raging"
and preached such a strong sermon on
the theme OF intoxicating liquors that
some OF the Jurors were convicted OF
their sins and went down to the
mourners' bench and were converted.
The bill states further that all those
Jurors who had favored %acquittal be-
fore hearing the sermon were changed
and the verdict next day was for con

When the feet Is assembled for

two years that four divisions consist
ing Of four battleships each have
worked together.
Naval officers OF rank insist that the
failure to hold the annal feet practice
last winter and last spring resulted in
disorganfzfng the feet as a battle unit
and thereby reduced it's efficiency as
a fighting machine.
The excuse made by the Navy Dc
partment for failure to mobilize the

needed in Mexico and that it was
more important to keep a powerful
line Of battleships of Vera Cruz than
IL was to assemble them for practice.
In reply to this excuse, naval officers

A CLOCK STOPPER.

The great detective put down the
iced tea hypodermic needle and looked
closely at his visitor With one light
ring glance he noticed that she was
.cross-eyed on both sides, especially
the right; pug-nosed, harelipped,
.freckled. and that her chin was SO re-
ceding as to look almost ashamed of
its presence there at all.

after 1 wind it that it generally stops.
Battling, isn't it? I should say so!

"Well-ah-" began the great de-
tective, crossing his arms and at the
same time increasing his legs SO as
not to give himself the double cross
well, do you-ah-look straight at

why, yes. I stare right at it; of

old Men7In War Service.

The retirement of Rear Admiral
Nicholson takes from the active list
of he navy the last veteran OF the
Civil war. Nicholson entered the sery-
ice at ~, in 1864, as a messenger. The
only remaining veteran is in the army.
Col. Glen, a drummer boy IN 1860
who will retire next year.
Promotion is slow in our SERVICE
and a man seldom reaches the higher
grades until he is nearly ready to re-
tire-in the army at 81, in the navy
at G.. The retired list of Rear Ad-
mirals is six times as long as the
active list. There are four times Is
many Lieutenant and Major Gener-
ais upon the retired list as Major
Generals in service.
The business Of war is now being
conducted in Europe by men who have
reached our retiring age. The Grand
Duke Nicholas is only 5S, but Gen.
kitchener is Ga and Gen. French 81;
and the French and German forces
abound in veterans. Won kluck, hero
Of the dash on Paris, and Gen.
Hausen are 6S. Gen. Won linden
burg. victor Of the Mazur Lakes, IS
81. Generals Moltke, ex-Chief of staff,
and Won EmmIch, OF Liege fame, are
&C. So is that impetuous one armed
beau sabreur, the French Gen. Pau.
Gen. Gallieni, whose army OF Paris
fastened the German retreat to the
Aisne, is 65. Field Marshal Q der
Goltz and the French commander In
chief. Gen. Joftre, r 81.
In the strain Of modern warfare
younge rmen have not thrust veter'
ans aside by their superior energy,
hut old men have been called upon
from the retired lists to commana
armies. In the main, the war is Ill
rected by generals twenty years or
more past the age when Napoleon said
a man was no longer fit to be a sol
