Husband and Wife Meet.

A meeting took place last evening
between the estranged couple, Josiah
McGec and wife, Of whom much has
been said in the local press. The
meeting occurred at the residence of
Mr.. Frank Pierce, where Mrs. McGeo
has accepted position as house
keeper. The meeting simply resulted
in roiteration Of the wife's determi-
nation, not, under any circumstances,
to return to her home or resume the
marriage relations with her husband.
SO far as we can ascertain from both
parties the statement Of the case con-
tanned IN yesterdays DEMOCRAT are

neither failure to support nor person.

fortunate affair." which is deplorable
both from moral and social stand
point. Mr.. McGee is an ordained

The First National Bank Of Green

Hon. w. f. Kirby, complimentod.

With pride and great pleasure, we
reproduce below, the high compliment
paid Miller county's representative,
Hon. w. f. Kirby, In the Arkansas
Legislature, by the Woman's Chronicle,
a weekly paper published at Little
Rock:
There was another side to the dis
cussion and different view of the
meaning of chivalry in the Legislature
last week, where some of the pinch
beck utterances brought forth the
real ring of the true mettle In other
parts of the House. Hon. W. II. Kir-
by, the handsome young member from
Miller county, explained his vote as
changed to Mrs. Anderson in short
crisp speech that rang out through
the atmosphere Of that hall and STIR
red the hearts in that audience just as
were moved the hearts Of our fore
fathers when they were told by the
patriots Of human rights denied and
justice trampled under foot Here
was u young man who seemingly for
got for the time the "pink and white"
"shell tints of youth" 80 largely dwelt
upon by other speakers, and allowed
his chvalry to expand to proportions
TO cover all women, young and old; he
believed in respect being accorded to
all women, and especially to those to
whom years have brought the added
weight Of Strengthened means and
misfortunes. Miller county should be
proud of her young representative,
and there were those present who
wished Mr.. Kirby's mother could have
heard him. She would have felt that
all her motherly care and training Of
the boy had been amply repaid by the
generous manly qualities developed in
the man.

THE MEYRosE FIRE ExTIN
GUISHER.

Yesterday, representatives of the
Meyrose Fire Extinguisher gave two
exhibitions of the practical work and
utility of their novel and excellent
machine. This was done in the fol-
lowing manner; Quite a number of
very combustlble dry goods boxes,
filled with kindling, were nailed to-
gether INTO pile about fifteen feet
high, and then thoroughly saturated
the whole with kerosene oil, when il
was set on fire; Immediately the flames
leaped up some twenty-five feet in
height, in the air; after allowing II to
burn short time, the extinguisher,
with its steady stream of acid gas and
water was turned upon IL, and in less
than five seconds the flames dwindled
down, and in few moments more
the fierce fire was completely quench-
ed. Tests were made by Mr.. o. A.
Stempel, President of the Company
All who witnessed the test were loud
in praise of the results achieved, and
pronounced it most wonderful and
satisfactory.
We do not hesitate in saying that
with this machine on hand, all fires
discovered in incipiency, could be
stopped. No residence or business
house should be without one. Ma
chine is light, very simple and easily
managed-will last life time, and
cost Of re-charging is only a few cents
They will be sold in clubs at $40 each,
for the present--regular price $l2.
Orders left at either the Huckins
House or Cosmopolitan, will receive
prompt attention. We notice that in
Pine Bluff ii received the highest en-
dorsement, and sale of machines was
very large.

Senate Committees.

Among the Senate committees this
afternoon judiciary No. heard an
argument from Judge j. S. Shepherd,
of Bowie, on the desirability of hold

committee on supreme judicial dis
tricts heard him speak for Pittsburg

under obligation to Judge Sheppard

Sheppard in behalf of this most i'm

Judge Sheppard, as reported in the

the proposed bill and endorses same
as an excellent and desirable measure
from personal standpoint, while at
the same time, he as lawyer, express
ed a doubt as to its constltutionallty
So far as the latter opinion is concern
ed, with all due Difference to Judge
Sheppard's acknowledged ability as a
legal authority, we think the matter
practically settled by well established
precedents in other States, where pre-
cisely the same measures have been
adopted with both legal and legisla-
tive sanction and approval. We be-
lieye, from all present appearances
that the bill will be passed and need.

Difficult Undertaking,

1t is o very difficult thing some-
times to accommodate an enacting
and often unappreciative public.
Especially is this true of local drug
stores in cities of medium SIZE and
commercial Importance, where a
greater or less demand is continually
made for night service and where the
trade Will neither justify keeping
open all night, nor the employment Of
night man, to look after the uncer.
tain demands Of night trade. We
happen to know that Texarkana hat
the best, handsomest and most thor
oughly equipped drug stores Of any
town or city OF like size in the two
States, and their management is, w
think, in every way equrl thereto. Al
the same time, as many complaint
have been made recently because o
inability to procure medicine in ur
gent cases, after regular night hours
we would suggest an arrangement b!
one or more of the druggists to hay,
prescriptionists room over the store
OF course this would impose hard
ships upon the man, who, after day''
labor, must suffer the annoyance o
being aroused, often on trivial pre-
texts, by thoughtless persons. A
best, it is difficult subject, and no
easy Of solution.

proper respect being shown by the
officers of this Nation and by our lead
ing citizens to any person representing
any other great nation. If the Prince

have due respect shown him as the heir

recognition should come to him from
the officers of this Government and from

have fitted for such social duties
They should treat him from an official
point of view, recognizing his official
position. AS man he may not be en-
titled to any such demonstrations as
would be sure to follow. There may
not be anything about him as man
which should recommend him to the
alteration of the American people. Yet
as the representative Of a great nation
he would be entitled to due respect and
unusual attention. But this attention
should be accorded to him by men of
character and standing, and by men who
are in point of fact, his equals in brains
and culture, and who are themselves
princes in this country, their title not
being hereditary, but having been won.
There are in this Nation thousands of
such princes. I would have them men
who know what proud eminence it is
to be first-class American citizens, and
who would, neither by word nor deed,
attach any inferiority to their own royal
standing.
