The Sensible Woman is a Gem.

The Sensible Woman is Gem.
Chicago Tribune.
A crusty old bachelor once said
that sensible woman was the no
blest work of God. His audience
was composed of congenial friends,
and he was not disputed, so he con-
tinued:
"The sensible women who are
born into this world Outnumber
those who leave it, six to one"
"Got the figures to prove that p
asked a reporter.
"No; but you can't prove that
I'm wrong. My statement is an
axiom, and will be acknowledged
as such before long"
"What comes of the sensible wo-
men who don't die 2" was the next
question.
"They die fools /; spoiled in the
bringing up"
A sensible woman begins early in
life to show her prevailing charac-
teristic As a child she can be
reasoned into obedience when she
cannot be coaxed or driven, and,
though it would be idle to attach
undue Importance to the bachelors
opinions as given above, it is wise
to remember that wise impulses may

ARKANSAS CRY, KAN, Sept H.
The long line of men who are wait
Jug patiently at booth No. 9 for all
opportunity to declare their inten.
tons of becoming bona fide settlers
may be rough and uncouth, grimy
and dirty, hungry and thirsty, but,
uncouth as they may appear, they
are, as body, honest, big-hearted
and possessed of the instincts OF
true gentlemen.
This was clearly illustrated by an
incident that occurred this afternoon,
which, for genuine gallantry, was
never exceIled by Beau Brummel
or Walter Raleigh. Sixty-three
women who expect to make race
for claim went just after dinner
from Arkansas City in carriages to
the border. They were fully prepar-
ed for two days and two nights of
hardship on the road. They carried
baskets filled with Wholesome food
and rolls of blankets with which to
make themselves comfortable during
the chilly weather. A Drawer, bet
ter-natured band of American women
never met. They asked no favors
because of their sex and expected
10 privileges not granted to the
men. They were satisfied with
equal rights, They formed in a
body at the front of the line, about
two miles from the booths, and were
preparing for the long wait ahead of
them, when gray but gallant strip
per shouted: Send the ladies to
the front -
He spoke like one born to COM
mand, and the words were 80 cheer
full and heartily spoken that the cry
was taken up good-naturedly along
the line, and before the company of
women realized what was being
done, they were pushed forward the
long line good-naturedly falling
back to give them room. Occasion
ally some selfish fellow would make
"A show of resistance, but none were
strong enough to combat the force of
public sentiment, which decreed
that these women pioneers should be
relieved of the hardships they had
voluntarily assumed. Slowly they
were pressed through the crowd, and
before the booths closed for the
night had their certificates of regis

training
The sensible woman does not al
low Disqualification to persuade her
to do that which is contrary to rea-
son or sound judgment. She never
loves man so dearl y, notwithstand-
ing his bad habits, which she de-
spses, that "she cannot give him
up" Her good sense tells her that
love is short-lived unless fed on re-
spect, and also that an affection
which is weaker than a bad habit is
scarcely worth having.
The sensible woman never does a
thing simply because every one else
is doing it, but because she has de-
cided that she may safely do it. She
cares just enough about the opinion
of her neighbors, and none too
much. She who does not care what
others think of her is lacking either
in good sense or morality. She
whose first thought is, "What will
folks say p lacks good sense and
the firmness to do what she believes
to be right, regardless of conse-
ouences. The sensible woman is
the medium between these two ex-
tremes.
In time of trouble one turns in

WILL BE HANGED.

An opinion was handed down from
the Arkansas Supreme court, sitting
at Little Rock, on Saturday, in the
case Of State vs Henry Howard, con-
victed Of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to death at late term
Of the Ouachita circuit court, at Cam
den Ark: The judgment of the lowor
court was affirmed, and Howard will
be hanged unless hi, sentence is COM
mated to life imprisonment. The
case is one of peculiar interest
At the November term OF the
Ouachita county circuit court, How
ard was convicted Of murder and SEN
fenced to be hanged. After the term
of court expired he applied to the
circuit judge for writ of error,
coram nobis, alleging that he had
since the trial discovered and could
prove that other parties had commit
eed the crime for which be had been
convicted, and asked that the matter
be inquired into, and that he be
granted a new trial
At the May term of the Ouachita
county circuit court the charges made
by Howard were investigated and a
jury trial of the implicated was had,
and verdict of acquittal returned.
Howard then appealed to the State
Supreme court. Hon. John Fletcher;
acting as special chief justice (Chiei
Justic Bum being disqualified from
having been counsel in the case) rem
dered the opinion affirming the action
of the lower court.

DIsHoNoR AND DEATH

News reached this city yesterday
of deplorable tragedy in Pike coun-
ty. near the little town of Antoine,
Ark, where. on Saturday, the 25th ill.,
stant, Miss Amy Rhodes, the beauti-
full l7-year-old daughter of a promi-
nent planter, committed suicide, by
taking an overdose of Morphine
When discovered she was lying upon
the bed in her room, dead.
A hastily written note, found upon
table near, gave the following as the
cause assigned for her rash act:
Dear Father and mother cannot
live longer. am forever disgraced'
The knowledge Of the shame have
brought upon myself and you brings
me to this. was betrayed, but for
the great love | once bore the author

She was all only child and the
parents are prostrated with grief
They knew nothing of the false lovers
crime, and the daughter had never in
timated anything of a like nature to
them. She was always OF charming,
upht.spirlted disposition and never
gave evidence of entertaining morbid
thoughts.
Who her betrayer is remains the
profoundest mystery.

Alabama.

The simple announcement that the
great Southern play "Alabama," is
to be at the opera house next Tues
day, caused quite stir among our
theatre goers, and already there are
many demands for seats; we also hear
rumors of several theatre parties be-
ing arranged for the occasion, which
will undoubtedly be the dramatic
event of the season. The press Of the
entire country has teemed with the
most complimentary notices Of Ala
bama, and society has 1ocked to see
it wherever it has been presented, and
that includes every large city in the
union. "Alabama" is Southern play
not only IN name, but in truth.
Mr.. Thomas conceived the sto
ry of his play in Talladega, Alaba-
ma; he laid his scenes there, founded
his characters there and wrote the play
there.
And when we glance at the list Of
actors who will present this great
play we are sure Of a dramatic treat.
The cast is headed by that famous nc
tor, Frank Q. Bangs, than whom no
actor on the stage is better known or
more popular. His marvellous per-
formanees Of the "Silver King" aud
"Jim, the Penman," are two Of the no.
table characterizations Of the gentle
man. Then there is Clement Balm
bridge, for whom MIR. Thomas wrote
the part of Captain Davenport, and
William Calhoun, l.. p Hicks, James
n. Marlett, w. j. Dean, +. B. Gallo
way, Edward Mas, Belle Barron, Eth
el Irving, Lillian Schovelin and Ger
trude Maglll, making one of the most
perfect and expensive companies chat

at that place on Saturday. The de-
PENDANTS, after asking for and obtain
ing severance, announced ready, and
the case of Dave Young. was proceed
ed with. After all of the evidence
had been taken and the instructions
given, Young's counsel offered to
submit the case to the jury without
argument. To this the states attor-
ney consented, but before the Jurors
had left their seats, Prosecutor league
again rose and announced that he
would enter nolle proseque in the
case. This was followed by an imme-
diate dismissal of the charges against
Bass and Fulton. 1t is evident that
the state for some cause, was unable
to make out its case and failed signal
ly to sustain its charges, leaving the
murder and robbery of Boughton in
as deop mystery rs ever.

ARKANSAS APPOINTMENTS.
Six Democratic Applicants to Sue
coed Republican Ineumbrents in
the State Land Offices.

The pleasing assurance has just
been received from Washington that
six new registers and receivers under
the general land Office will be appoint
ed in the State Of Arkansas
on the re-assembling of Congress, Tie
present inoumbents' four years tenure
of office having expired Two are To-
Gated at Camdan, one at Little Rock,
two at Harrison and one at Darda-
nellie. Their last reports show the
compensation of Register James Hud-
son and Receiver Alfred Tufts at
Camden to bo $l,9l6.77; Harrison,
Register Chaa. NJ. Greene, Receiver
Phelix Baker, $4,000; Dardanelle,
Register William May, $l,2942l; Lit
tie Rock, Register Patrick Raleigh,
$4,000.
These are nice plums and Demo-
Gratis are recommended for them in
such manner that precludes any
necessity for delay. 1t is thought
that there will be no diliatory meas
ures in making these appointments
and filing the vacancies which are
made by limitation of the Republi-
cans tenure of Office.
Indeed it is said that Representa-
tive McRae, from this district, has al-
ready conferred with the chiefs OF the
land department at Washington, aud
ascertained that the appointments
would be announced about tho time
above mentioned
1t is also announced on good au-
thority that both secretaries of the
treasury and interior have recon-
mended Mr.. McRae's bill, now pend
ing, to finally adjust the swamp land
grants and effect the proposed bond
compromise between the national gov
ernment and the State of Arkansas.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

From all reports President Cleye-
land is an extremely busy man just
now, being hard at work upon his
forthcoming message to Congress He
ia said to be invisible to all callers
save those who belong to his domestic
or official family and keeps himself
strictly secluded from the prying eyes
of curious public. He is using a
private bed room instead of public
office, for his work and spends many
hours there each day, engaged in the
preparation Of those documents, to
Congress, about which so many kinds
and conditions of people are both GU
rious and anxious.
He will have number of docu-
ments to submit for Congressional in
spection besides his main communicG-
ton. There is, for instance, vast
deal of correspondence and statistics
relating to the Hawaiian embroglio,
which the President has to go over
before sending to tho Capitol. There
is humber of appointments which he
expects to make Immediately upon
the meeting of The Senate. The fact
that at least three cabinet reports are
not yet in his hands tends to make
the work more difficult. The whole
administration is busily engaged upon
the documentary record Of its mne
months work.

CONTINUOUS FIRES.

Beginning at 4:S0 o'clock Saturda.
afternoon and ending at 10 o'clocl
last night the alarm of fire was turned
on four times from as many differen
portions of the city. Indeed it seemed
to be an almost continuous alarm du
ring this interval.
The first of these fires was tha
which originated IN the BARI
where Mr.. Schott now lives
and situate in the real
of the sesidence, on Walnut street
The flames, in this instance, were
checked in time to save the residence
The barn, together with feed and 9th
or stuff stored therein, was totally de-
stroyed, and that of Alderman
W. G, Cook, just across
the alley-way, somewhat damaged
by the flames. The loss was partially
covered by insurance. Origin Of fire
unknown.
The second fire was a slight blaze
in Chatfeld & Buhrman's ware house
near coal schute, which was quickly
extinguished supposed to have been
OF incendiary origin.
The third and by odds the largest
and most serious of the series of fires
was that which was discovered in the
clothing department of j. w. Stuart
Il Sons extensive establishment
shortly after 5 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. This fire was clearly of incen-
diary origin and was started to cover
the dual crime of burglary and larceny
The miscreants had first effected an
entrance, by breaking a in a door
on State Street and after looting the
store of over three hundred dollars
worth of fine underwear, clothing
ETC., set fte to the building to destroy
all traces Of their crime. The imme'
diate loss by the fire cannot yet be esti-
mated. The stock on hand invoiced
$3l, 900 on February 1st of this year
and averaged during the spring and
fall seasons from $4,000 to $4,000
Total insurance carried, $4,000. The
firm has offered a reward of $3.50 for
the capture and conviction of the in.
cendiaries.
The last of the four fires was that
which caught from defective flue, in
"Jue's" restaurant, in the Chic block
OH State street, at 10 o'clock last night
The blaze was promptly extinguished
with sligat damage.
In every instance the city fire de-
partments responded promptly and
where needed put in most excellent
and effective service. The continuous
rainfall was favorable circumstance
which assisted in preventing q spread
