Little Rock Evening Press:
The Gazette of the Oath inst, pub
i,hed nice notice of q reception
which was supposed to have been ten.
dered Miss Fannie Scott by the Ar
kansas Worlds Fair Directory Thurs
day night at the home of Mrs. w. G,
Radcliffe 1t was also stated that Miss
Scott was presented with handsome
gold medal by the dir ctory rs a Sigh,
return tor her able cooperation.
All this would have been indeed
very nice and no more than Miss Sc 1T
deserved, but it did not ia place, as
the following telegram will show:
EVAN BUREN,. Ark, Nov. q. G. r.
Brown: Please correct statement In
Gazette OF twenty-fOurth inst, of re-
caption and medal rendered me. Both
a mistake, and oblige your friend,
'FANNIK NJ. SCoTT."
The following paragraph appeared
In the 'iazette this morning:
IN Us Fannie Scott wired the Ga.
zette from Van Buren, yesterday, . at
ing that it was a mistake about re-
cepiiOn having been rendered her in
Little Rock Thursday evening, aud
mat no medal had been pres anted her.
The report was furnished by what
the Gazette believed good authority,
and the item was published without
further investigation, and the Gazett g
is surprised to find that it was not
true"
The Gazette received its report from
Hon. Hal. Norwood, director of the
State Association, and published IL
without question
A Press reporter having been In
formed by Mr. G 3. Stiff that medal
had been made, sought out Col. James
Mitchell, president of the board, and
asked when 1t would be presented
II am going to Fayetteville this
morning." said Col. Mitchell, land
W II stop to soc Miss Scott vt Van
Buren,. II she wants the medal I'll
give it to her. We intended giving
her reception Thursday night, but
for some reason Miss scott left the
city. 1 don't know whether sue was
mad or sick."
In justice to Miss Fannie Scott and
without her knowledge. we wish to
say, she went to Little Rock at the
request of Prof. Mitchell, to attend q
meeting of the Worlds Fair State
Board and after finishing the busi-
ness with the board, and by special
invitati N, left the city for MorriltOn
Wednesday morning to be present at
and entertainment aud reception that
night. She was delig htfully honored
by the generous citizens of that place
and returned home Thursday. In an
swer to Prof. Mitchell's interview
with the Press, we wish to say that
Miss Scott was neither "sick or mad u
but thoroughly disgusted with the
double-dealings of the Wor DIS Fair
Board. Prof. Mitchell has learned by
this time, whether Miss Scott WANTS
the medal or not.

Sheriffs as Jokers:

In England the Sheriff, having a free
hand in the selection of ofjurymen, fire.
quently INDUCES his sense of the hu-
morous, says the Chicago Herald. The
sheriff of a certain county, for instance,
quietly picked jury of twelve of the
fattest men eligible for the purpose
men SO fat that when they appeared in
court and the time came for them to
take their positions in the jury box it
was found that but nine of them could
be accommodated.
However, by Encouragement and
squeezing and amid the boisterous
laughter of the Court, they finally sue
ceeded in crowding into their allotted
quarters-a packed jury in the most
literal senre.
Following this fat jury the same
sheriff had collected lean jury, thin
enough to have been accommodated in
the jury-box twice over. At another
time he gathered jury ofbarbers,and
as a crowning feat, jury of twelve
men who squinted.
A sheriff with a far finer sense Of
humor, however, was he who, having
been reproved by the judge Of a certain
court for presenting jury not suf-

Ohio Sheep.

The sheep statistics for the present
year have been gathered and tabulated
by the state officials at Columbus. The
figures are significant as showing the
effect of protection" on Ohio fiocks.
The returns show decrease of 158, 06S
head during the year. The Mckinley
tariff, which was to raise the price OF
heeces and increase the number OF
sheep, has had exactly the contrary ef-
feet In McKinley's own state. The
farmers have received less for their
woodland consequently are selling otfor
killing their sheep.
