Pleasant Entertainment.

Last evening Mr. and Mrs. Tom Sparks entertained alarge number of Pine Bluffs young society people in honor of Miss Lizzie Toney. The en- tertainment was an impromptu af- fair. No attempt had been made looking toward an entertainment in style and in gorgeous proportions. It was simply an occasion of genuine good feeling and on the scale of Southern hospitality Mr and Mrs. Sparks are the recipients of the high est praise for the manner in which they entertained their delighted guests last night. We would gladly give the list of names of those who attended but the crowd was so large that it would necessitate the em- ployment of additional force in the composing room to set it up. Be it said in honor of Miss Toney. the en- tertaincd, and Mir. and Mrs. Sparks, the entertainers, that the occasion was most delightful and pleasant and everybody had I good time. Miss Minnie Roane won the ladies prize, Miss Dora Toney was the sue cessful competitor for the booby. Attorney Garland Street won the gentleman's prize. Dr Runyan is the proud possessor of the gentle mans boohy.

Commercial Clnh.

There are q great many men in this city who are of the opinion that the Young Mems Commercial Club has accomplished no good. We are not inclined tosay ought against this inn pression. However, we do say. let this Executive Committee call a meeting of the Club at an early date and report to the organiza tion the good they have accomplished and thereby relieve the reporters of the city papers from constant kicks and remarks that are unsavory and not at all pointed. For the information of the Club We give below a letter to Mir. |. B. Bloom from a manufac- turer who means business.
 UNION CITY, TENN, Dec. 3, 1893. MIR. E. E. BLOOM, SEC, PINE RLUFF ARK, DEAR SIR.-Yourcommunication was received i'll due time and would have received an early reply, but as you said your president would call on us ill a day or two, we concluded to await his arrival, and as he has not yet shown up we have concluded he must have got lost on the way or that you were out of the notion of sending him. We would like to hear further from you in regard to the project spoken of. think it would be about as good an investment as the town or those having the town s interests as well as their own at heart, could make. Please let us know what you have determined on doing aud oblige Yours truly,
 J. H. NEWMAN.
 The above communication shows that the Executive Committee is at work and that great results will re- dound in favor of Pine Bluff through their efforts.

iHerrmann the Great.

Hermann. the most wonderful magician. and one of the cleverest public entertainers of modern times, aided by Mime. Herman will appear at the Opera house Wednesday Dec. l3. After so much drama. farce, com 1 edy and nonsense, Hermann, and his marvellous performance will be thrice welcome. Hermann is a great master of the 'Black Art" a veritable Prince of Darkness, if he will allow the libel; but be works his l spells with such finish, and ease, and grace, that one sits quite content to be so deliciously humbugged. He is the foremost of prestidigitateurs, q most gentemanly necrofneneer, and although Dante would have con- demned him to eternal. punishment, as he does all magicians, the theater= goels hope that Hermann will live long to dazzle with his wonders. He announces this season a ', most >re- lmarkable entertainment, comprising among it's chief features; his latest and greatest illusions, ''The Escape from Sing Sing" After the Ball, 1.-The Mysterious Swing, or Here! There! Nowhere !" and his marvellous spirit seance. In addition Mime. Hermann will appear in her spec tacular dance creations the "Serpen- tine,' the Butterfly" and La Blanche, ' "a La Loie Fuller" The dances are made doubly attractive by s system of fourteen different cal- cium lights which cast the prettiest hues upon the lovely dancer.

MUST STAND CONSEQUENCE.

Oshkosh, Wis, April 29.-Justice Mer-
riIl has found for the defendants in
the case of Rose, receiver of the Con-
soidated Mutual Fire Insurance COM
pany, of Chicago VS.. Robert McMillen,
of this city, and Charles Howard and
others, of Neenah.
The action was rought to recover
the payment of assessments which We're
made previous to the failure of the
company. The court held that the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover, on
the grounds that the company was
never licensed to do business in Wiscon-
sin, and never complied with the con-
ditions imposed by the laws of this
state upon foreign insurance compa-
MES. No competent proof under Wis
consin law was offered to show that
a valid assessment had been made.
Laws of Illinois cannot control the
courts of this state on mere question
Of evidence or upon any question re-
lating merely to procedure. The plain
tiff company was also in error, since it
sought to evade the laws Of Wisconsin
by issuing its policies in Chicago. This,
he claimed, placed them outside the
pale Of the law and he refused to di-
rect the performance Of contract
made in violation Of the statutes OF
Wisconsin.

utterly mendacious as mine must have
done, and nothing but the fact that
my companions threatened to shoot the

my boots on. That COW was worth
about $40, but the lowest its owner
weIid take was $50, and $50 during
the war was worth about 5000 now.

FRAU WAGNER LII.
The great Composers Widow Stricken
With Apoplexy.

Frau Wagner, the widow Of the great
composer, has been stricken with apo
plexy and it is not thought that she
will recover. She is very remarkable
woman and was not only devoted
wife to the composer but his most
ardent admirer and the person who
has managed the great Bayreuth per-
formances since his death. She is a.
daughter of Franz List and when. a.
young girl married Hans Won BueloE,
the pianist, by whom she had four
children, all of whom she named after.
heroines in Wagner's operas. Whea
Wagner went to Munich to live the
two became acquainted and soon after:
Won Buelow secured a divorce.
Frau Wagner's devotion to her
second husband was remarkable and
he in turn holized her and considered
her to be the most intellectual woman
other have shared. A writer once
wrote of her as follows:
''Probably now 60 years of age Nine
Cosima is a head taller tban was the
poet-composer. Quaint and odd in
dress. spare aud gaunt in figure, the
startling effect was heightened by the
longest and sc awniest neck ever con-
nectcd with wnman'S head and fraem.
She is as sallow as her venerable father
Deep, but phi, nomenally bright and
piercing eyes g.eam out under heavy
brows. Her noes is long and hawked
There never lived so homely and yet
SO fascinating a man as was List.
Cosima Wagner is his prototype in
woman.
L believe her to be what Wagner
ever insisted she waS-the most intel
lectual woman in Germany. Not this
alone. Her intellectually was even
surpassed by her matchless devotion
1t did not make her his enemy. Tt
made her make him. No f1attery ever
tempted her into the weakness of
vanity regarding her own majestic
part i'll what the world got from Wag-
ner. Hence. and because of this royal
abnngation only, she must ever be
known as luminously as he He would
not have gained immortality without
just that power from her and just
that abnegation which devoutly holds
to this hour.
