HATH reason left mems mind and
madness assumed her sway?' is a ques-
ton we might ask over the failure Of
the legislature to pass the Worl1's
fair appropriation bill. The bill called
for the insignificant sum of three cents
per capita: there were no constitutional
provisions against the appropriation,
yet the moss backs refused to pass it.
although the bill received a majority
vote. We want the attention of think
ing men and women. those who have
the advancement of the state at heart.
Arkansas must be represented at the
Worlds fair. even if our legislators are
derelict How is this to be done? If
the legislature fails to act. only by pri-
vate subscription. We now have at
Chicago beautiful state building-one
of the handsomest if not the handsom-
est of any of the states. 1t cost about $13.
600, all of which except So 600 has been
paid. The failure of the Legislature to
make An APPROPRIATION places the build
ing in jeopardy Of being sold to sat
isfy the debt against it, and even if it
was not sold instead of being an adj
vertisement for good, it would be but
standing monument TO our non-pro-
gressiveness unless display of our re-
sources is made. Shall such state of
affairs come to pass? a thousand

hold of the matter, Less than 80 days
intervenes between now and the open
ing of the Worlds fair. win our pub
lic-spirited citizens act or will they lie
supinely on their backs and see the
time when Arkansas might have taken
her rightful place in the constellation
of states pass forever by and this by
not extending an invitation to the peO-
pie Of the nation and the universe to
come To this favored land and become
of us.

SENATOR Morgan, of Alabama says
there are three great questions con
fronting American statesmen that
have TO be solved, and he strikes
tile keynote of success when he says:
With three great questions confront
ing us-the Nicaraguan canal, Behr-
ing Sea arbitration and Hawaii, the
last ready to drop into our lap like a
ripe pear-we have need of that spirit
of manhood and energy and endurance
which was so superbly developed when
We were fighting one another, with a
lniiiion men in the field. Then we
stall see the outcome of the power and
spirit of a great people on great oc-
caSion. Let us move to the 'front.'

THE bill to appropriate $50 900 for
Arkansas to make an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair was called in the house
Tuesday, and failed to pass. receiving
SO votes for and So against. 1t re-
quired two-third vote to pass the
bill. One of the members who voted
AYE" changed his vote may" so he
could move to reconsidered. We are
disappointed over the failure to pass
this bill. those who desired to see Ar
kansas great resources of wealth ex-
hibited to the world are disappointed
The attack against the bill was led by
populist members, though the majority
voting against it were democrats. The
popullst do not want Arkansas to ad-
vance. They want not our mines
worked or other resources developed.
Their occupation as calamity howlers
would then begoRe This exhibition
of Arkansas resources and wealth at
the Worlds Fair would induce capital
and immigration to come to us that
would make our waste places blossom
as the rose. We hope the member who
voted nay will move reconsideration
at an early date. Arkansas must be
represented at the Worlds Fair even
if by private subscription. The state
appropriation would not have amount
ed to cents per capita. Yet the moss
back would not vote it. Will they
subscribe anything?

The Bayeu1 Tapestry.

Tapestry was brought into general use
in western Europe, with many other
elegancies of life. by the Moors of Spain.
The oldest known specimen is the Bayeux
tapestry, an epic in embroidery, careful
ly treasured for centuries in the cathe
dral of Bayeux, and now preserved IL
the hotel de vile of that place. Miss
Strickland says of this piece of work:
"It is beyond all competition the
most wonderful achievement in the gen.
tie craft of needlework that ever was
executed by fair and royal hands"
It was done by Matilda of Flanders
wife of William the Conqueror, and the
ladies of her court. 1t is coarse linen
cloth, 214 feet long and 20 inches wide,
on which is worked in woolen thread of
various colors a representation of the
invasion and conquest of England by the
Normans.
1t contains the figures of about 625
men, 200 horses, fifty-fve dogs, forty
ships and boats, besides a quantity of
quadrupeds, birds, trees, houses, castles
and churches, all executed in the proper
colors, with names and inscriptions over
them to elucidate the story. 1t is a
valuable historic document, as it gives a
correct and minute portraiture of the
Norman costumes and their manners
and customs. Work

Boston, March 19.-Fire broke out

tire structure was gutted. No mishaps
are reported to the guests. The temple

Correspondence ramperea with.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Several rep
resentatives of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions
visited Washington last week. They
came from the Boston headquarters of
the body with which they are connected,
and had several interviews with Josiah
Quincy, acting first assistant secretary
of state. They told him that the Turk
ish officials had interfered with the cor
respondence of the American mission
aries in that country; that the mission
aries were subject to much ill-treatment
by the natives who were not restrained
by the authorities; and that messages
from United States Minister Thompson
to the state department in Washington
never reached their destination, from
which he (Thompson) inferred his mail
was tampered with. The investigation
will be completed in few days.

No organ of the body is liable to a
greater variety of ailments than the eye.
More than forty such diseases are emu
merated in medical works.
Some of these tend toward blindness,
partial or complete. Some are highly
contagious. Some are peculiar to the
earliest stages of infancy; some to old
age. Some are due to other diseases;
some originate with the eye itself; some
are the result of external wounds. Some
are brought on by the improper use of
the eye; some by the abuse of other or

Giving Wood a Good Color.

Many hard woods of superior color
and grain may be greatly improved by
treatment. The granting or marking of
the wood is always beautiful feature,
and it can be greatly improved and ac-

piece one coat of raw oil, and then with
