A CROWN OF JEWELS.

According to recent estimate
made by noted expert in the quality
and value of rare and precious stones
the crown of England's queen is one
of the most costly, rare and beautiful
ornaments of modern royalty and con-
tains one of the most magnificent col
lections of jewels in the world. 1t
comprises more than 5000 precious
stones set in various designs. The
most prominent gem is the ruby given
to Edward, the Black Prince, by Pc
dro, King, of CASTLE. 1t is In the
front of the crown, set in maltese
cross composed of seventy-fve large
diamonds. The lower part of the
crown band contains a row Of 1873
pearls; the upper part 112. Back of
that again is smaller sapphire sur
rounded by six others and eight en-
eralds. Between the two larger sap
phires are designs containing 286
diamonds. Above the band are eight
more sapphires surmounted by eight
diamonds and the same number of
festoons contain 100 diamonds. Be-
sides the maltese cross there are three
others around the upper part of the
crown containing 1886 diamonds, and
between the four are four ornaments,
each with a ruby in the center, and
containing respectively, eighty-four,
eighty-six, eighty-fve and eighty
seven diamonds. From the crosses
rise four arches composed of oak
leaves and acorns, the leaves contain
ing 728 diamonds The thirty-two
acorns are each Of single pearl, and
are set in cups made of flfty-four dia-
monds. Above the arches stands the
mound, containing 548 diamonds, and
above the mound is the cross, contain
ing very large sapphire, four very
large and I08 smaller diamonds. All
the stones are genuine, apd not, as in
some other European crowns, colored
glass, which has replaced the genuine
stones. The crown entire is valued
at 81. 100000.

ARKANSAS WINS AGAIN.
She Has Been Given the Award for
the Finest and Best Cotton.

News reached the city yesterday
that Arkansas had been given the
award for the finest and best long
staple as well as the finest and best
short staple cotton.
Col. Geo. w. Martin, of the judges
of awards on cotton, of Little Rock,
was officially notified of the fact Sat-
urday, and there will be great rejoic-
ing in Arkansas over the result This
is an award conferred on no other
Southern State, and repays the State
alone for her efforts in making dis
play at Chicago.
With the finest zine carbonates, the
finest apples, and her educational
awards, and the finest and best cotton,
Arkansas has reason to feel proud of
herself and of the noble and energetic
band of men and women who contri-
buted of their money and work to
this glorious end
Tho great and far reaching impor-
tance of this Worlds fair work is
realized by comparatively few people,
and the almost incalculablc benefits
which are sure to accrue, both to state
and people, through this great me-
dunn of advertisement, which has
shown the vast undeveloped resources
and superior natural advantages of
our state, to the world, are beyond the
power of the present generation to
compute.
The great good which has been ac-
complished for the state, by reason of
this work, will extend unto succeed
ing generations, and the seed Of pros
perity planted by this generation will
reach full fruition in the next, bearing
a rich harvest unto our children to be
governed by them as heritage. And
by them bequeathed, in turn, to pos
terity. Such are the splendid achieve
ments of the great work, as seen ain
futuroy" by the prophetic eyes Of
today.

A Barrel of Money, Is its
Worth to Texarkana, and
Our People Recog-
nize The Fact.
Space Is Being Rapidly Consumed,
And Still The Army of Progress
And Enterprise Grows
Larger And
Larger.
Neither Money, Labor Nor Pains to
be Spared in Making it the
Most Complete and Hand
soonest Edition Ever
Gotten Up in This
Section.

AS each day is numbered with the
past, the success of our grand special
trade edition becomes an assurity.
Mr.. David has simply met with a con-
tinuous ovation, and for this we de-
sire to heartily thank our friends and
patrons, believing justly that our
great effort will meet the approval Of
the entire community.
The paper will be issued in a very
short period and will contain a COM
plete photograph of Texarkana and
Bowie and Miller counties. OF course
a great portion of the success to be
attained depends upon the libcrality
with which the people patronize the
enterprise. Let every business man,
and all who feel an interest in our
city and counties, take into considera-
tion the value of each paper when
put into the home and the hands of
every voter of Miller and Bowie coun-
ties, and distributed copiously in Cass
and Marion counties, Texas, and Lit
tie River, Howard, Lafayette and
Hampstead counties, Arkansas-and
especially since there is not in exist
ence today, and has not been in the
past ten years, reliable directory,
much less description of city and
counties.
OF course the DEMOCRAT expects to
make some money out of the under
taking 1--WE are not here altogether for
pleasure or our healthy but the money
we may realize from it will not be a
bagatelle of the advantage that will
accrue to the public generally.
We drop this limb to the merchants
and business people generally. That
this special trade edition will furnish
them the best means offered in a long
time to get their business before all
the people, and that too, in form
most attractive and lasting.
Space is being rapidly consumed
and we would advise those who have
not already placed their orders for
space to do SO at once. We shall en-
deavor to see every one, and thus give
all fair and equal chance to aid
themselves, their business, town and
county.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

COMPROMISE MEASURES.
Continuation OF the sherman Act
with the Issue Of Bonds.

with the Issue Of Bonds.
The one subject of paramount inter-
est in Washington City, and in fact
throughout the country, just now, is
"what the administration thinks Of
the adjournment, by the repealers,
Friday morning aud whether or not
it will affect the Presidents ultra anti
silver sentiments In conversation
on this subject a certain Cabinet Off
cial, whose position to know and au-
thority to speak are unquestioned, af-
ter first stipulating that his name be
kept secret, gave thetollowing outline
of the Administrations present posi-
ton on the financial problem;
He stated that The Administration
was now for unconditional repeal. as
it had always been, and that it was
not considering or thinking of COM
promise. The position is shown in
conference which occurred between
Senator Harris Of Tennessee and Sec
retary Carlisle day orgtwo ago on
the subject of a compromise. Mr.. Car
isle said:
"The Administration has made its
Il
proposition; it is thar the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law be uncon-
ditionaIly repealed Your side will
either accept it or reject 1t. Do one
or the other by vote. If you reject
it then the Administration will be In
position to make another PROPOSE
ton"
There has not yet been compro-
mise proposition submitted that could
carry a majority Of the anti-repealers.
1t will be seen, therefore that the Adj
ministration could hardly afford to
offer one proposition of compromise
and then another until they became
interminable with the hope of finally
getting proposition that will suit
the incongruous element in the anti
repeal ranks.
One thing is certain and that is that
the administration is desirous of fight
ing it out on the line now adopted
and 1t will back its men in the senate
to the full extent in opposing any and
all compromises At the same time
the position Of the administration is
an assumed one aud that it wants q
compromise. They declare that at
this very time the administration is
working on compromise bill which
will contain the following provisions:
The coinage of the seigniorage now
in the treasury which will turn out
| $53,000,000, the purchase of $2,500,000
bullion month for coinage, the re-
| peal of the 10 per cent on state banks,
the retirement of small notes and the
substitution of larger ones, the issue
of $100,0o000O or $l50,000,000 of
Ebonds to be sold for gold reserve,
the cessation Of coinage when $780,
100000 or '$9oO,0o0o0o..in in silver are
in circulation.
