TIE LITTLE ROCK CONTENTION
Our special correspondent at Little Rock
seems TO think that Hughes will be nomi.
mated for Governor for third term by the
Democratic Convention, but that there is
a chance for Eagle and Fletcher, Fishback
having Withdrawn. This would be TO es-
tablish very dangerous precedent; but II
the people will have IL so, so be 1t. Eagle
or Fletcher would make an excellent Gov
ernor and either combining with the other
can settle the question without difficulty.
They have the votes whereas Hughes,
even with all the votes opposed TO them
combined would fall short IA votes Of the
required majority. They hold the key Of
the situation and should be able to settle
the question OF Hughes successor between
them. Eagle can mako Fletcher Gov.
emor or Fletcher can make Eagle Gov
ernor, or both being stubborn, they can
make Hughes Governor by driving some
Of their followers to his support.

THE SMALLPOX FRIoHr.
An Infectious Prisoner Locked Up

An Infectious Prisoner Locked Up at
tho Police station-Another Case.
Yesterday morning Philip Ford, whose
child died Of smallpox last week, was ar
ragned for removing It's dead body with
out a permit. Sanitary Officers Mozart
land and Riley visited the prisoners
house, on Grccnlaw street, Saturday after
noon, and found Ford's wife suffering
from smallpox. Before being removed 10
the pcsi-housc she admitted that her eigh-
teen months old child had died Of tho
same disease Thursday, and that her hus-
band had taken the body away. The OFF,
Gems instead Of isolating their prisoner,
brought him 10 the station-house, where
he was locked up all day Sunday and Sun
day night, and yesterday morning he was
brought up with the other prisoners into
the courtroom, which was crowded with
300 or 100 people. Ford stood up and adj
mitied the charge, but pleaded ignorance
as TO the disease and the law governing
burials, and lac was fined $40.
The action Of the officers was quite 40
much a violation Of the health ordinance
~ the ignorant negro had committed.
Further than this, Ford having no money
with which 30 pay his fine, consequently
goes on the chain gang with the twenty or
or thirty other prisoners.
The report that there wis ircsh case Of
smallpox at No. 62 Main street proved To-
be wholly untrue upon investigation by
Health Officer DIR. Thornton. DR.. Thorn

Heredity,

The first lecture in what promises to be a
very interesting and instructive course was
given in State street church chapel yester.
day afternoon by Mrs Maria Upham Drake,
under the auspices of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. The subject was
"Heredity" and Mrs. Drake commenced by
remarking that the laws of heredity were re-
ceiving great attention in the scientific
world and the value Of environment seemed
to many the all important consideration.
Mrs. Drake thought that the point was over
estimated and needed to be counter-balanced
by the organic laws of heredity. Sources
from which to study the subject were analo-
gy. induction and race development, and the
factors are direct heredity and variation
Direct heredity, from the lowest forms of
vegetable and animal to the highest were
traced, and the necessity of combining with
the materialistic idea of the scientific, the
belief of divine power, working through
and in all, was emphasized Race develop
ment, with its analysis and points of resem-
blance as between English and American,
and the different types which are observed
both in families and nationalities, was shown
to be an interesting study.
She closed with speaking on the laws of
heredity in disease both physical and moral,
and the great responsibility which rests on
parents.
Mrs. Drake is thoroughly conversant with
her subject, and; the ladies should avail
themselves of the rare opportunity which
these lectures afford to study these impor-
tant subjects.

The MARGINAL WAY.

To the Editor of the Press:
In hearing upon petition for locating a
manufacturing plant, and in another for dis
continuance Of Somerset street, public atten-
ton has been called to some Back Bay Sim
provements." The above in connection with
city appropriations of $4,000 for extending
the marginal way naturally excites a desire
for more information. A visit to the scene
of the Improvements" discloses the fact
that dredge is at work taking out the soil
inside the proposed marginal way and
dumping it up to form said way. This docs
not harmonic with the idea of filling in to
make new land on which manufacturing
plants can locate, and thus add to our tax
able valuation. Inquiry will elicit the rea-
son given for this excavating instead of l.
ing-in to be that first Of all the way is to be
prepared for railroad track: in the dim un-
certain future the flats thus excayated can be
filed In by dumping rubbish. etc.
wish to enquire whether or not the city
is really making road bed for a railroad I?
Have we not already done enough financial
ly in aiding railroads, both by mourning
debts and in building marginal ways? If
our tax payers really suppose the whole or
greater part of above appropriation is going
thus to build railroad, and no part of it to
aid our sewerage system, will they not dis
approve Of it, and ask that the appropriation
be spent otherwise? Will the PRESS please
eniignten usf OLD GUARD.
