An Atlanta optician says that prohibtion improves the eyesight. We have always understood that the fuller man, got the more things be could see. It seems that the right hour day is to hold good on the Panama canal even after that ditch in completed. It is said that tee largest ships will be able to pass through in that length of time. It may be that Count Szechenyl mar ried Gladys Vanderbilt for love only, but that little donation of $5.000,000 is a mighty handy thing for him to have around in case of a financial strin gency.

Representative Landis. chairman of committee appointed to investigate affairs of the government printing of fice, has made his report to Congress, and it developes what is believed be gross irregularities in the conduet of that office. The United States Marshal yesterday at Kansas City seized $1,400 worth of Arkansas canned apples and black berries labelled as grown in Michigan, the labels being in violation of the pure food law. The fruit will be Bold and the proceeds turned into the United States Treasury. New York is in the grasp of a bliz zard, and several of the citizens of that city have been found lying streets the past few nights frozen to death Mississippi can't compete with New York on frenzied finance, but it has got her skinned a city block when it romes to frozen frutidity The reading of the President's mes sage yesterday, both in the Senate and the House, was the occasion of a great demonstration.

The sad and solemn Senators threw lignity to the winds. and cheered its sentiments without regard to polities, the Democratic membern declaring it was the best piece of Democratic doctrine ever emanating from a Republican. A strange coincident of yesterday's storm in Copiab county is that this is the fourth time a eyelone has followed practically that path. The big eyelone that destroyed Monticello in 1882, and the one that swept Beauregard out of existence just one vear to the hour aft erwards, were within a mile or so of the path of yesterdays storm. In the telegraphic columns will be found an account of a terrible eyelone that visited Copiah county yesterday.

carrying death and destruction in its path. It is probably that more damage has been done than the accounts indi cate, for all telephone lines in that county are down, and it was with the greatest difficulty that any information at all was to be had. The American Tobacco Company is in trouble in Louisiana as well as in this State. A suit has been fled in the U'nited States District ('ourt at New Orleans against that company and Au gust Craft, asking damages In the amount of $234,999. The" suit was brought by the People's Tobacco Com pany, and in their bill they allege that the Craft Tobacco Company was start ed by the American Tobacco Company, and that the two entered into a conspiracy in' restraint of trade, and used improper means to injure the defen dant company.

PRESENTATION AT HOME. The following -is the substance of Washington telegram of the 3lut ult: The Commercial flub at Pascagoula wired Representative Bowers todas. requesting aim to use his official influence to have the new battleship Mississippi come to the gulf to receive I the silver service which the citizens of the state purchased by popular subscrip tian for the acquisition to the navy The Mississippi will probably be turned over to the government at Philadelphia next Satur.lav.

It in entirely proper that the silver service. which an being manufactured for the Mississippi, should be presented to the baftleship in the waters that lave the of thim State, that idea being alot the lines of precedent. The Commercial Club of Pascagoula, one of the most progressive organizations of the State, is to be congratulated for agitating the question. While the battleship, which has been named for than State, draws too much water to approach the Mississippi shore. either of Pascagoula or Gulfport.

it could anchor in the deep water basin at Ship INland, an.I the presenta tion could be made to officers of that vessel ashore, or on shipboard, as may be decided upon. later. The event could be made of great him torte interest, and would attract thou Hands of patriotic Mississippians. The Governor with his staff and State of fours would. toobtless, be present, and the affair could.

be male quite a credit able State occasion. Anchored in Ship Island harbor, the battleship would be easily accessible from all points on the Mississippi Coast. it could be approached by all kinds of pleasure craft. the waters AR a rule, being calm and smooth. The Governor would, naturally.

be expected to make the presentation speech, which would be responded to by the Captain of the battleship. The writer, some years ago, witness ed the presentation of the silver service to the battleship on the beach at Galveston, In sight of, but not near the whip, the Captain and of fiver scoming ashore to receive the present.

The request of the Pascagoula Com mercil Club should be endorsed by othPr similar organizations, and once satis. find that the invitation in general, the government would, doubtless, grant it, and order the ship to Island when the silver service in ready to be presented.
