The advanced class of the Y. NJ. G. A. gym
nasium gave an excellent exhibition in the
new gymnasium of the Washington Young
Mems Christian association last evening.
The class is composed of twelve members,
under the direction of Prof. c. +. +. Shultz,
and all acquitted themselves most creditably
in the many feats of skill and agility particle
pated in. The performers used the horizon
tai and parallel bars, the vaulting horse and
Indian clubs, besides giving series of pyra-
mids with acrobatic tumbling. The audi
ence was we'll pleased with the exhibition, as
the continued APPLAUSE attested.

is by Strachim, out of Lady Milton, and

The women of our state will, we trust,
pay special attention to the exhibit in their
department at the Worlds Exposition.
Women Of all creeds and denominations
are working as a unit toward advancing
the cause Of women's industry, learning,
position and attainments in the states to
which they owe their allegiance. In our
own state those who have been appointed
by the exposition commissioners, certainly
labor under q great disadvantage, for there
is too little enthusiasm amid the women
of the state in this important opportunity,
perhaps the most important that the nine
teenth century has offered to woman as an
individual. At this exposition she is solic-
tied as learned, thoughtful, original being,
to show the skill and result of her learn
ing, to exhibit the plans and products of
her thought. To place before the world
in short, the original designs, inventions
and labors Of her brain. That she has
brain the managers of the New Orleanl
Exposition allow as fact. No hating
consideration is given to excellent en- leav-
ors, by these gentlemen. No annex at
short distance holds off as caste the spir-
tied and capable exertions Of a proud SOUL
But with the endeavor of the citizen so is
the endeavor of the citizeness welcomed
side by side in the department Of each
state. All, women Of Arkansas, can you
not see why our lady commissioners are
laboring with unremunerated zeal. They
are not willing to admit that our women
are less capable than their co-laborers Of
other states, They are laboring to bring
forward education, capacity and industry
to its true position.

A Dog at the Telephone.

The telephone has enabled a physi-
clan, several miles away, to detect
whether child had the Group. The
child's mouth was held near to the
mouth-piece of the instrument and the
physician heard it cough. But more
singular than this is the following case
of a dog recognizing its masters voice
through the telephone:
Jack is a coach dog that found his
master by telephone. In some way
Sack got lost and fortunately was found
by one of his masters friends, who
went to his Office and asked by tele-
phone if the man had lost his dog.
Eyes, where is hep" was the reply.
He is here. Suppose you call him
through the telephone. The dogs
ear was placed over the ear-piece, and
his master said, Jack! Jack! how are
you, Jack?"
Jack instantly recognized the voice,
and began to yell. He licked the tele-
phone tondly, seeming TO think that his
master was inside the machine.
At the other end of the line, the gen
tleman recognized the familiar barEs,
and shortly aftcrward he reached his
friends office to claim his property
