COAST AN IDEAL
VACATION RESORT
HATTlESBURG MINISTER RE
TURNS FROM A MONTHS STAY
THERE; Is ENTHUSIASTIC.

There's no reason why Gulfpor
and Biloxi shouldn't be the best pat
rOnized summer resorts in the coun
try. The climate there is ideal. With
the exception of the mosquitoes which
appeared in such large quantities for
few days during the first of July
there has been nothing on the Coast
to mar an ideal vacation"
This is the opinion of the Rev. w
l.. Linfield, pastor of the Court Street
Methodist Church, who returned to
Hattiesburg last night from Biloxi
where, with Mrs. Linfield, he has
spent a month.
There are no more mosquitoes on
the Coast now than you'll find in Hat
tiesburg," he continued. "The wealth.
er is ideal. The nights are cool while
the days are as balmy as during the
autumn.
81 cannot understand why the Coast
is not patronized more than it is"

MYSTERIOUS SCORE
FOUND IN CELLAR
WoRKMEN DISCOVER MUSICAL
MANUSCRIPT WHILE MAX
ING REPAIRS IN HOTEL.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 14.-Found
in a miniature vault constructed in
the foundation of a boiler in the sub
basement of the Bellevue tratfOrd
Hotel yesterday when workmen were
tearing away the brick work, a must
cal composition of unusual merit has
created much discussion. The com
poser is being sought by j. NJ. Fraz-
Ter, manager of the hostelry, in order
that his musical efforts can obtain
their just reward.
The workmen came upon a space
in the boiler foundation about the size
of two bricks and in this miniature
vault was found wrapped in a news
paper not only the complete original
musical composition but several
pages of pencil and ink portions of
the work.
The unusual find was taken to Mr..
Frazer, who called upon Uriel Davis.
musical composer, well known both
here and abroad. who also is the au-
thor of THE Horse Trot," for a con-
ference. Davis examined the find
and pronounced it an exceptionally

date March a. 1914 This leads all
to believe that the composer was a
workman in one of the bricklayer
gangs that worked upon the hotel
when its construction was started.
Plan to Publish 1t.
Just what motive led the composer
to hide his efforts in such a manner,
especially where every chance was
against it ever being found, cannot be
determined by those who have ex-
amined the composition Davis and
all who have examined it predict for
1t great popularity and plans for it's
publication are going ahead. 1t was
played last night by the hotel orches-
ira and attracted much attention.
The work is of a style entirely in
accord with musical compositions of
the present time and it makes excel
lent dance music. It is believed that
the composer was unable to dispose

couraged by reflections, inclosed it in

his own hads to receive his dead
hopes for fame and a goodly sum of
money. If he can be found, both

they can obtain for him a substantial
amount of money for his rights in the
