HoT SPRINGS, Dec. 4.

HoT SPRINGS, Dec. !.
The valley Of vapors IN its winter
dress gives one al interesting view Of
animation in the truly realistic sense Of
the word. The weather Of late has been
balmy and sunshiny enough to draw out
even the confirmed invalids, and the
streets are daily thronged with pedes-
TRANS. If a faithful representation Of
metropolitan life is desirable, you have
only to linger about the Arlington, Pla-
teau, Waverly, Avenue and otaer-Iead-
ing hotels and study the movements Of
distinguished men and women. Our
citizens have anpleto keep them busy.
At present they are good deal occu-
pied with the proposed New Orleans,
Natchez and Fort Scott Railroad, which
is to receive bonus Of $4,000 for run
ming through this city. The road is to
be completed inside Of two years. An
other probable railroad enterprise is the
extention Of the Hot Springs Railroad to
the mines west of US. An unprecedent-
ed mining boom is evidently dawning
and there will be "millions in it for
some.
[ Society life is anything but prosaic in
|
the valley We have had a plethora of
al sorts Of social events since October.
St. Luke's Guild is giving delightful
series of semi-monthly entertainments at
the different hotels. There has been a
revival ofroller-skating quite recently,
and it promises to survive the winter.
Miss Winnie Vaughan, one Of our
most popular young ladies', will spend
December in Little Rock, visiting Mrs.
G. H. Sanders.
Miss Octavia Gallagher, formerly of
Little Rock, has gone to Washington,
D. c., and accepted employment in the
Treasury Department. Countless we'll
wishes follow her

guest Of the Arlington, where her vocal
gems are much admired.
Miss Mollie Gaines gave reception
Friday evening Of last week which r.

Amid the dresses well worthy of descrip-
ton was that worn BY the hostess, Mrs.

nlyersary reception rendered the friends
OF the Social Reading Club. This love-
" dress Of snow white satin, had prin-
cess train. The entire front of waist
and skirt was covered with fine black
net, exquisitely embroidered with cold
thread in elaborate floral designs. This
lace was brought from Constanlnople to
Mrs. Glib last June, but preserved for
this occasion. The effect of the black,
white and gold was extremely handsome.
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson will
soon occupy the very handsome resi-
dence now being erected in the suburbs
| of Jackson Miss, for him. The resi-
dence is worthy not only of skillful pen
picture. but also ofthe brush of an artist.
The site is that of the Bishop Green resi-
dence, from which, looking over a
rolling country of valley and upland,
the city Of Jackson appears, while on
the other hand glimpses of cultivated
farms, ard clumps of woodland give a
picturesque variety to fair and varied

Bent Upon Becoming Abandoned Won
en-A Noble Action.
Last Friday two fine loOxing young
ladies, dressed very becomingly, but not
gaudily, rang the door bell OF No. 3IG
South COncho street, which Is a well
known house of ill-fame, and asked tC
see the lady of the house, Sadie Ray
They demanded private intervie W
with her, and it being accorded they
made known their business. They stat
ed they were not sisters by blood, but
were the step-daughter and adopted
daughter of wealthy stOCkman, who is
now absent in the north dispOsing of a
shipment OF cattle. They stated they
lived in the First ward, but would not
tell their names or address. They had
not been treated right at home, and
were tired of it, and wanted to begin in
this house the life of shame which had
always seemed so fascinating to
them, and for which they had al
ways pinned, although claiming that
they had never even taken the first
step in this direction. II their father
came back one OF them would be put
Immediately in the convent, and he was
expected to return in eight days. They
did not have much time in which to get
away from nome.
Miss Ray informed them that they
could not possibly enter her house un-
der these cirCumsI ances. She would not
encourage them or hold out any induce
ments to them, and advised them to go
home and bear any kind of treatment in
preference to entering upon life Of sin
and misery. She would not encourage
girls to become prostitutes, and turned
them away.
The young women left rather disap-
pointed, but one of them returned the
next day and made second application
with the same i'll success.
4 note making the same request was
sent by the girls TO Carrie Ander-
son, at No. 800 San Saba street, and
met with refusal, because OF the
danger involved. of trouble with the
girls family.
These young women have not yet
secured apartments in any Of the bawdy
houses of the city, and it is hoped they
will not. A keeper of house OF illfame
can not be to- careful with such would
be customers as these. The misery en-
tailed upon the beginner and their
families by such step is not fully
realized by them. Let them ask any
woman who has been few years in the
tolls of this sinful career, and they will
shudder and fall back with alright at
the prospect of misery exposed. The
conscientious keeper OF No. 3l6 not
alone deserves praise for her refusal to
these girls, but she deserves the thanks
of all parents, brothers and sisters in
this community for her noble action in
the interest of morality and society.

The Cruel Little Mouse.

Once upon time there was great
lion, and the fame of that lion was
abroad from one end OF the land to the
other. He had a companion whom he
treated kindly, but like true friend
sometimes reprOved it for its faults One
day the lion was caught in net. The
little mouse came along and, instead Of
being like another good mouse and
easing its benefactor, 1t reviled and bit
him. The indignant lion arose. put
forth its strength, and became free. The
poor little mouse, now friendless. fled In
terror, and did not stop until it reached
village. There 1t was trapped and be-
came cats-meat, but the lion roamed Its
native woods proudly, the admired and
feared OF men.
Moral for local newspaper mouse:
Don't monkey with that literary lion.
1t may be enmeshed now, but it will be
free, and then you may regret that you
monkeyed with 1t. Good friends are al
ways better than bad enemies.
