Only One In One Thousand Alive. BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. In every thousand people who are living on this earth not more than or,? is alive. To be really alive means more than,to be moving, breathing, eat ing, drinking and talking humam creatures. He who is actually alive find the days too short for the wonderful ex periences which are Involved in this State. He finds life itself a continual ad venture, full of interest and with opportunities for pleasure and achievement at every turn. He finds himself an object of de li(jhtf'ul study, however dissatisfied he may be with the present results of that study; for he perceives that he is a crude chunk of Eternity, and that in himself lie all the powers and possibilities latent in the universe. Ami that in himself lies the will to Work out these possibilities. He who is fully alive enjoys the earth and all its pleasures. He loves the slap of the wind upon his cheek; the dash of the waves upon his breast: the motion of his limbs in the swift walk; the thrill ofi the good steed's body under his own; the ecstasy of rhythm in the dance; the swing of the oar. He loves labor and the fatigue which follows, and in his harmoniously developed frame there is not one lazy or un used muscle. But being alive does not stop here. The man who is practising the art of being alive tq its full extent has an alert, receptive brain and an awakened spirit.. Without these he would simply be a splendid animal With these he is the highest ex pression of the Creative Power visible to mortal vision And with these he finds his opportunities' for happiness," usefulness and pleasure m existence three-fold. . He knows the pleasures of the physical plane, for which his body is fashioned; he draws to him self the pleasures of the mental plane, and he senses the pleasures of the spiritual plane which lies near, and derives power therefrom. The man who is alive in all these ways must radiate light, cheer, sym pathy and helpfulness to all who come within his aura. He under stands the temptations and the f . . P '- -mr--.

Following this G I. Soulo, nt New OiUaiis, was it;trouceJ. an J hi delivered an instrudiv addiesa in troubles and the sorrows of all be ings who are less alive than he, and his compassion is greater than his tendency to condemnation. Being alive to the vibrations from three realms he knows all tempta tions, and from having made many missteps himself, in his road to un- foldment, he can smypathize, coun sel and help onward many who have not been able to make his progress. The man who is really alive realizes that he must use his own position in the world and his own environment as the first field of action, if he hopes to reach success in any venture. He must not wait for such or a miracle to give him a change of location and surroundings better suited to his taste. Out of what ever destiny has bestowed upon him he will make the condi tions which he desires. And out of every day he will make a little bit of heaven. I No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay nor trouble dis hearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive. Difficulties are but dares of fate; obstacles are but hurdles to try his skill; troubles but bitter tonics to give him strength; and he rises higher and looms greater after each encounter with adversity. The man who is wholly alive finds pleasure in the simplest things, and to him nothing is commonplace, nothing Is menial. And he is never bored. For nature, human nature, and himself are ever interesting subjects of contemplation and study. And the future to him is a radiant vision, EAgleotsiLVl growing ever more and more won derful.

George, Mississippi'! great statesman and soldier, has presented the Mississippi hlstsrical department with the historic sword and .pistol which was used by General George In tbe war of secession. They,, were placed by ber la the historical depart ment that the present generation might be Inspired by the herofsm and achievement of Mississippi's .(treat statesmen aLd soldiers. v ' The service of James Z.

It was tbroqjh his eSorts that tbe franqbtse of jbef aiaiv suu kuu ooum was t.uiai,tu. The forty-ninth annual session of the Mississippi Press Association opened at Jackson' Tuesday, May 19th, in the rooms of the Board of Trade, with the president, A. F. Herman, presiding, and Secretary W. A. Bean at the desk. Before the opening of the conven tion the citizens of the Capital City tendered the members of the prens a reception, held in the reception room of the Board of Trade. The mem bers of the Association had been warned that a warm greeting awaited them,' but they were wholly un prepared for the lavishness of enter tainment the people of Jackson be stowed upon them. Never was a mote hearty welcome tendered nor more representative gathering present than upon this occasion. The musical program was excellent and the members of the press were ex travagant in their praise of the artists performing. At the conclusion of the musical program B'shop Theodore DuBose Bratton was requested by the presi dent of the association to invoke the divine blessing. President' Walter Scott of the Jackson Board of Trade welcomed the press rpembers jn buhalf .of that body, and in his remarks took oc casion to nay a high tribute to the editors of the State. Mayor S. J. Taylor, fpr .the city, extended tne nearty nana or .wel come, and mad i an address which will long remain in the minds of those present, he taking occasion to say many kind and flattering things about the press of the State in general, as well as placing his city before the members in a manner that does credit to a sincere adherent to his home town. In response to these addresses of welcome James Faulk was desig nated, but was unable to be in attendance and the president called upon S. Joe Owen to do the honors, and it goes without saying he filled the position with credit and honor to himself and the association which he so ably represented. After Mr, Owen lhad concluded his address, the president announced the distribution of badges, the roll called Being put off for the afternoon scssip.n, and thn named the follow irig' committee: Credentials J.

Mott. - - Col. R. 8. Henry, of the Clarion- Ledger thef) announced that "Presi-Herman-would 'deliver the. annual address, prfj-srokcat some length and touched upon important nutters pertaining tn the association, and suggested remedies for existing conditions that were jjot .atall satis- ftclcry for f?re gnSd trfTSTii- tpress in the State. He wan given marked attention, and received many en comiums upon the delivery of such i splendid address. After a few remarks by Col. Henry, adjournment was had to 5:30 for the afternoon session. Promptly at the hour set. the Association was called to .order, and after the roll call the credential com m'.tte retired and shortly made their report, showing that over fifty mem bers were present. The speaker of the convention, Colonel Mike Con- nuly, of the Memphis News-Si imitar, ooe of the best known journalists in the South, was tlu n introduced by IfJgar S. Wilson, who paid the dis tinguished editor many compliments, not merely, perfunctory, but an earnest rrihute anJ frorr tlu" tucvt. For us to give space at this time to Mr. Connoly's addresswould be impossible in a paper like the Demo crat-Star, Put we read it very care fully, and must say that it teems with information, and carries with it the conviction that the speaker is a man df strong personality and well versed in the history of the profes sion which he has chosen us his life's work. He carries you back to the very beginning of the printing era and then follows it up by degrees, bringing you down the line bj the present day, using language that makes one follow it carefully as if in fear he will lose a single word. It was a 'masterly effort. At the Conclusion of the address the members were loud , in their praise, and ao unanimous vCte of thanks was tendered tne speaker. The convention then adjourned to participate in 'several amusement features provided for them. On Wednesday morning another reception was given 'the' members of the association, at which the young laJies of Jackson served press punch with the compliments of the Board of Trade, and the gracious young ladies who presided at the punch bowl were happy, w hen the editors and their wives were sipping the diiicious beverage, which had no "stick" in it. The committees again showed the newspaper men how welcome they were in the Capital City. Musical selections we re plfrrfh y the Sarah B. Mc Lean orchestra,afid well received by those in attendance, varied selections being played. Archdeacon Smeade invoked the divine blessing, and then the morn ing session came to order about ten o'clock. Several committees made ' their reports on matters pertaining to the business of the association, and a resolution adopted .wherein the future meetines were to be shared If!! tCT T Tmi can talk lilUI VI V Hii yon want stout remarkable cures, but. you simply can't htvrrheumHtlHm sftT J' w , ' y "GE-RAR.DY 'RHEUMATIC REMEDY ieViuise ii feet at tbe mm it rnnmstfcm -uinmlvestlieurit widinthblood-tlirows tho poison out of the syit. m. 50o and ! tr bottle at drosrgists or writ.) us dirwt. ei-B'BV UWlPStSIT, wh owd with thl r-!n!j Snsltiil- l'l ":.

This was a gwd move and will redound many fold to the benefit of the State. Former Secretary John McGuire, who hJ served in that capacity for eighteen years, and who resigned some months ago, was tendered a set of resolutions, setting forth the association's appreciation of his work and commending him highly for same. The association heartily endorsed the resolutions presented by Cap tain J. G. Cashman as to the peace jubilee to be held in Vicksburg in October, at which it is intended to have the veterans of the North and South meet t'pon this occasion. At the afternoon the citizens and ladiesof the city tumedout en masse, and vae interested in the proceed ings of the convention. Several reports were made and re :eived anJ placed In their proper channels. The bigger part of ses sion was taken up by L. R. Brown, of the Belop,i Banner in an address on cost finding in the job shops, with black board demonstrations, and it proved of much benefit to his hearers. This gentleman is thor oughly posted upon the matters and spoke intelligently upon the subject Miss Belle Kearney made a brief and entertaining talk upon "Immi gration," and showed wherein the State is not receiving its share of the immigration. She was given close attention, and her address was well received. The poetess of the ' Association contributed her verses and were re ceived with applause by the mem bers. . A musical program was arranged for the evening by. the ChaminaJe Club, and the music rendered was delighlful, for which thanks was tendered by the association. The program had been especially arranged for the occasion.

DEWEY ITCHING FOR ACTION. Grizzled Veteran Would Alain Like To Be Busy. Naval gossips say that Admiral George Dewey looks will) longing eyes upon the waters of the coast of Mexico where the great sea fighters of America have assembled to up hold the dignity of Uncle Sam in conjunction with the military forces, and that the hero of Manila Bay, scenting gunpowder and the boom of great warship guns, fairly itches to be upon the scene and directing affairs from the bridge of a flagship, just as he did on the historic oc casion when he trimmed the Span ish fleet and forts in the Philippines. But, while he would like to be in command off Vera Ctu and Tarn 'pico, the grizzled old warrior will not take away from younger officers the opportunity to gain their spins if any opportunity presents itself at any tone in M'vco, n.'kh as lie hates u be absent at fighting tune.

"What should I know about that fight' From wlit , i read in the newspapers now, -1 wasn't even there." The news paperman had occasion to see Ad miral Dewey that evening, and in the course of conversation casually mentioned Schley's remaik." Well, well," mused Dewey, "How sad!
