A crowd of armed men took them out

testified that Rufus Brogles n we'll

the poison, and after the first lynch

THANKSGIVING DAY.
It Wln be Observed Throughout the Country in Most of the Evangelical
 Churches,

NEW YORK, \. Y., Nov. 29.-Advic- es from nearly every state and ter ritory in the Union indicate that Thanksgiving Day will be observed throughout the country by the usual suspension of business and religious observances in the Evangelical churches. In many of the cities Presbyterians, Methodists and Bap- lists will unite in general meeting of praise and prayer instead of hold ing services in their respective church edifices. In quite a number of cities also the wealthy element of the pop ulation will give a practical eXempli- fication of it's thanks forpast mereies by setting a bounteous spread for the unemployed and homeless. It is a drearier thanksgiving than a year ago, for the industrial and conner cial conditions have for the time be- ing mat eIially changed, and so the prayers of the day will not only be diree ted to the past but to the fu- ture to the end that present condi- tions may speedily pass away, and that prosperity and comfort, especi- ally among the industrial element, may be restored.

 .- ....-...........-.. Miss Maida Craigen The people of Pine Bluff have sell dom had an opportunity for witness ing better performance than that given at the Opera-house last night. The bill was \ Duel of Hearts, and possessed many attractive features besides a very interesting plot. To begin with, the story was a novel one, and in the second place the players seemed peculiarly adapted to the roles which they assumed. Miss Craigen had never been seen here be- fore, but her successful work with such stars as Salvini and Keene made her well known by reputation if not personally. The character of Lady Anita Stanhope' is difficult one to portray; far more so in some respects than that of "Maritana' or Lady Anne" andfyet no one can say that the work last night was not excel lent. Her emotional work is ex- tremely clever and is decidedly in her line. The scene in which the unfor- tunate woman goes mad is dramatic and requires not only skill but dis cretion.
 MT. Paulding is we'll known and very popular here. His "Eugene's was finished and possessed a charm about it that is born of originality. His scene with Anita at the open ing of the casket was well done He is artistic, possesses a fine stage presence and, to his credit be it said, understands makeup.
 Mr. Winters Sir John' was a typical doctor. His best work was done in the last act.
 MT. Alexander's "sir Larry" gave satisfaction.
 Many words of praise are due to Mrs. Yandenhoff for her very clever interpretation of the part of Alicia. ," The audience was appreciative, but not near so large as the attraction which was i'll every sense a meritori- Ous one, deserved
