STEP LIVELY" FAIRLY GOOD

"Step Lively" a musical comedy,
was presented by the LaSalle COM
pany to a well-filled house at the
Greenwood theatre last night. The
entertainment was fairly clever in
some respects, but the singing was
not up to the average. The audi
ence, however, vas very appreciat-
i've of the good features and in view
of the fact that "The Lilac Domino"
was so very good the previous night,
everybody seemed disposed to deal
charitably with the inferior features
Of the "Step Lively" aggregation.
The next attraction at the theatre
will be Mutt and Jeff's wedding
next Friday evening, November "a,
when a crowded house of both old and
young will be on hand to enjoy the
fun furnished by these noted merry
makers.

ECHOES FROM CONVENTION.
The Return Home of the Jackson
Members Of the Federation.

By a splendid score of club women
was Jackson represented in Green
wood last week at the annual meeting
Of the Mississippi Federation, and if
one may judge by the reports brought
back by the delegates never has there
been a meeting comparable in any
way to this which had place in the
great Delta, two former Jacksonians,
Mrs. T. r. Henderson, who is known
and beloved in Jackson as Lizzie
George, younger daughter of Missis-
sippi's great commoner, James 2.
George, and Mrs. Monroe McClurg,
remembered in Jackson as Mrs. Helen
Bell, state librarian, did so much for
the success of the federation and for
the pleasure of the guests.
Jackson sent twenty of the 100
delegates, and each and every one
Of the number brings home the most
delighted and delightful reports of
the meeting which was held in the
Delta city, the most elegant homes Of
Greenwood having been opened for the
entertainment of the guests and ev-
cry other pleasure possible planned
for their enjoyment.
The Jackson delegates were espe-
cially fortunate, several Of their num-
Der having been privileged to share
the gracious hospitality of the beauti-
full Henderson home, among whom
were Mrs. ]. H. Fox, Mrs. C. H. Alex
ander, Mrs. W. R. Wright and Miss
Sadie Gober.
Mississippi has no finer daughter
than Mrs. Henderson, younger daugh-
ter of the late James z George, and
certainly there is no lovlier home
within it's borders than that of DR..
and Mrs. Henderson, consequently
are the members of the federation
who were Mrs. Henderson's guests
fortunate above all others in that they
were privileged to be in this home,
where hospitality is so genuine and
so sweet.

SAYS COMPULSORY TRAINING
WILL COME.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 22.-(By Tn.
ion Associated Press.)-Gen. A. j,
Logan, of this city, who will soon re-
turn to the border after a thirty days
furlough, has expressed some views
regarding the military training which
national guard officers here will rec.
ommend to the government at Wash
ington. Gen. Logan says that soon
er or later this country will require
of its citizens compulsory training
and compulsory service. This is man.
ifestly in need in view Of the. inability
Of the national guard to recruit the
proper strength when the call was
issued for men to do service on the
border, but the men who did respond
have reaped a world of good from
their experience and training on the
border"

EXCITING SPECIAL SESSION IN
WEST VIRGINIA.

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 22.-(By
Union Associated Press.)-The extra
ordinary session Of the West Virgin
ia legislature now in progress at the
call Of Governor Hatfield promises to
be interesting to say the least. The
purpose of the session is to amend
certain laws which affect the tenure
Of elective and appointive offices so
as to curtail the appointive powers Of
the governor and to make the public
service commission and the state
board Of control non-partisan or BIZ
partisan, If the legislature sees fit.
Governor Hatfield, in pointing out the
necessity for amending tho present
primary election law, charges gross
frauds in the recent election, includ.
ing repeating, colonizing and refusing
to register lagal voters.

The 20 delegates who went from
Jackson clubs to Greenwood, where
the Mississippi Federation met last
week, are all at home again, the per-
sonnet of the delegation embracing
Mrs. J. H. Fox, president of the City
Federation; Miss Henrietta Mitchell,
Mesdames. w. R. Wright, julius Girls
Ter, F. C. Mix, Liddle, w. 0. Rea, j.
W. Tucker, Archie Gordon, William
Hemingway, James A. Jones, c. H.
Alexander, H. M. Dunning, Noel Wo-
mack and Misses Sadie Gober, Evelyn
Folkes, Marie Henry and others.
To narrate in these columns the
story of the Federation's beautiful
meeting would be more than any
scribe could possibly compass, but it
gives great happiness to J~acksonians
to refer even though briefly to the
successful work Of her club women,
writer's, poets, musicians and essayists
each and all of whom achieved dis
tinction at the federation. ~
The singing of Miss Henry Of Mrs.
Wright's prize composition, "The
Dogwood Tree" the reading by Miss
Gober of Mrs. Mix prize essay, and
the several other proofs of the excel
lence and ability of Jackson's club
women delighted all who heard, and
especially honored the ~Jacksonians
present.
Nor did Jackson have all the honor,
as Brookhave, with her many splendid
women and her successful clubs, gave
to the federation especial distinction.
Among the countless beautiful So
cial functions arranged for the pleas
ure of the visitors was az elegant re-
ception in the home of Senator and
Mrs. Wilmington, and a reception at
Highlandale, the stately home of the
D. S. Jones, which, though twenty
miles from Greenwood, vas the scene
of the l~ovliest social function, SO the
delegates all agree, that has ever been
given for the state federation, Mr.
and Mrs. Jones and their household
having opened the splendid home for
the entertainment of their guests, and
thus affording to all of the delegates
a view Of one of the most elegant
homes Of which the Delta rejoices, and
giving to all the guests the grace and
charm which is a part of the home
and the hostess thereof, with her
daughters.
The twenty-mile automobile ride to
the great Jones estate, and the ele-
giant hospitality which was extended
them will linger long in the memory
of all those who were fortunate
enough to be the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Jones, and certainly no more
beautiful a memory will brighten the
minds of the Greenwood visitors than
this of the H%ighlandale visit.-Jack-
son Daily News, 10th inst.

Takes a Whole
Boat By Self

ATLANTA, Ca, April 22-Holding
up single-handed the crew of large
transatlantic steamer is a regular
cinch, if you've got the nerve, accord
ing to Ernest Schiller, the German sub
ject expelled from England, who
startled the world by mastering the
captain and crew of the British steam
ship Matoppo on the high seas, and
who was tried in Wilmington, Del, and
given life sentence in the United
States penitentiary in tlanta for piracy.
Schiller made his acquaintance yes
terday with Warden Zerbst, and the
1z00-odd prisoners in Atlanta who will
keep him company during his pro-
tracted stay in the prison, some of
these being men, like Schiller, who
are sentenced for life.
4 could have forced the captain and
crew of the Matoppo to take to the
ships boats, if | had been mind to-"
said Schiller yesterday But I didn't
want to commit murder, and that's
what it would have been to put them
adrift in the sea that was running. Also
it would have been suicide, as I could
not have managed the steamer single
handed although experienced no diff
fculty in managing the crew."
Schiller is 26 years of age and wears
his moustache curled up at the ends in
true Kaiser Wilhelm style.
