Thos. +. Shea Opens in Halifax.

The Halifax. n. s., Herald, Of Aug. 10Th.
contains an account of the opening of the
season there by the Thos f. Shea Company
with new play, "The Shares of New York =
The Herald highly commends both play and
company. 1t says:
There are some effective scenes in the rst
and second acts, such as the murder of
'Mathew Maybury,' the return Of Gordon
Maxwell, disguised as a sailor and his iden-
titication and attempted arrest at the hands
of Frank l4lndleN. The third act, how
ever, contains the cream of the play. In this
act the scenic and mechanical effects add to
tile great interest Of the work of the per
formers, and here the performers have some
GOOD work to do. THERE'S representation of
tile freight SIZED of the FAN River line at New
York, fac silniie OF the palace steamer
Puritan and the interior of the Puritans
saloon. They are given with splendid effect
1T Was this act which r;lrtivated the audi
enre last night and it alone is Well worth
seeing MIR. Thomas f. Shea Had the herp's
part in the piece, that of "Gordon MAXWELL"
He played it WELL The role of "Mathew
Maybury was i'll the hands of Mr. Carnes,
who acted it to perfection. Frank Lind
ley was the senior william of the play
This was taken by Mr. Greene. He wanted
no better evidence Of his ability to play the
part than the liberal misses extended to him.
Miss Tyler is well adapted to the part of
"Ruth Maybury" and Miss Green made a
capital "4Athalie Morrelli,' the adventures
Taking the presentation all through and
making due allowance for unforeseen obsta-
Giles, it was a success.

A Feeder for the Iron Mountain.

Notwithstanding the hard times the Louisiana. Arkansas & Missouri has not been idle during the past season. About 15 miles more of the road have been graded on which the track is to be laid before spring. Negotiations are in progress with contracting firms in St. Louis which will proba bly, result in completing the road to Delhi, La. {, before the close of next season. This will give the company about S5 miles of road through the best timbered por- tion of Louisiana and it will make a valuable feeder for the Iron Mountain system. with which it connects at Trippe, Ark. At the annual election just held at Little Rock, II. A. Fisher, of that city, was again elected vice president and general manager The improved condition of the company is said to be due largely to his active CO., operation during the past year.

TURN-- STATES EVIDENCE.

One of the White Caps Who Killed Negro
 Bob Greenwood, In Cross County, Tells
 How the Deed Was Committed.
 LITTLE RoCK. Dec. S.-M. l.. Morris, a blacksmith of Vanndale. Cross coun- ty, was arrested yesterday charged with being one of the white caps that lynched the negro Bob Greenwood Sunday morning near Cherry Valley, a small town on the Helena & Knoble branch of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain X Southern railway. The man Nm. Wilson, alias Bob" who was sent to Jonesboro for safekeeping, turned states evidence, and gave the names of E. k. Clampitt, Dr. T. F. Wright and NJ. l.. Morris, blacksmith. as the parties who did the killing. Wilson made his confession to Ii. C. Durham, a justice of the peace, before whom he was arraigned. He stated that the white caps met at his house, which Is about 300 yards distant from where the killing occurred, and organized for the purpose of going to the dwelling of the negro, Bob Greenwood, and whip ping his wife for some minor offense, and upon their arrival he was to hold the horses while the other members of the gang did the whipping. The mur- dered negro, Bob Greenwood, upon learning of their mission, made an ef- fort to protect his wife, and in doing So was shot down and his body taken to small stream near by and thrown in. The murderers were all drunk, as is evidenced from the fact that no pre- cautionary measures were taken for their escape. Their horses were the next morning found either tied to trees near the house or wandering around loose upon the premises.

How to Pronounce "Arkansas.v

A Baltimore lady writes as follows in reference to the pronunciation of "Arkansas:'
 When al the Worlds fair I visited the Ar kansas state building. and there met culti- vated and charming little lady from that state. In my conversation with her l expressed sur prise that the people of her state should pro- noCnee the name as if spelled "Arkansaw." She answered, It is only the uneducated who do it told her that her own legislature had decided that 1t should te so, but she laughingly said: Tt is only those who live back in the mountains that call it Arlzansaw." Hence- forth l shall regard hers as the correct pro- nunciation, and abandon the other, that I have used under protest since that wonderfully wise legislature determined that 1t should be con. sldered the proper one.
 The St. Louis Republic, commenting on the above, says:
 The opinion of "an educated lady of Balti more' is being wired to few newspapers and paid for at special rates to the effect that the Arkansas legislature dil not know what it was about when it officially indorsed ..Arkansaw" as the proper pronunciation of Arkansas.
 Baltimores educated lady, may know more than the Arkansas legislature which fixed the pronunciation. but in Little Rock. which is the intellectual as well as political center of the state, "Arkansaw'' is the ac- cepted pronunciation. And there are excellent pathological reasons for believing it the cor rected one. the educated lady of Baltimore" to the contrary notwithstanding. It may be of interest to educated people in Baltimore and elsewhere to know that the correct official and Little Rock pronunciation of the name is not Arkansd,c, but Arkdnsau, and that. if truth were mighty and could prevail, the name of the state of Pener and Mrs Lease would sound bet ter than it now does

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
How to Pronounce "Arlsansas. !"

Washinctou special st. Louis Globe-D amocrat.
 The ma h-mOoted question as 10 the current pronunciation Of the name of the state of Ar kansas was referred for settlement to Repre- sentative Clinton E. Breekinridge of that state. He practically settled the question by pronouncing the word "Arzansaw.' Senators Jones and Berry and all the repre- sentatives from the state pronounce the name as Mir. Brecxlnridge doss. In discussing the question Representative Breckinridge, said formerly the name was spelled 'Arkansa and 'Arkanssa. A final 's' was attached to the name by the French, presumably for appear ance. but not for use. Perhaps the nearest ap- proach 10 the proper pronunciation is ex- pressed hy the spelling with a final W. but this is a little too broad. A familiar illustration is Tcnsas parish. La. which is pro nounced 'Tesaw.' The legislature of Ar kansas. to settle this question. of pro- nounciation. passed q resolution declaring that the name of the state should be pro- nouaced as fl spelled 'Arkansaw.' It can hard lv be said that the question of the pronuncia- tion of the name marks degrees of culture among the residents of the state It is only those who are strangers in the state and who have recently removed thither that pronounce the name as lt Is SD slled. and they do so not in ignorance but because they have not acquired the habit of pronouncing the name as the tives.
 Years ago. when Willard Fillmore was vice president of the United States, two senators from our state disagreed on the pronunciation Of its name One called his state Arkansas and the other 'Arkansaw' and each in- sisted that ha was right The con troversy reached the vice-president's ears and he was in quandary how he should designate the state when recognizing either ol the senators. He compromised the matter and very nicely. too. by saying the gentleman from Arkansas. when the senator fayoring this pronunciation addressed the chair by say ing the gentleman from Arkansaw'' when he recognized the senator who adhered to this recommendation
