1t is good indication that Great Brit

arbitration the boundary question, which

settled by arbitration, but Prime Minister
Salisbury refused. Now, however, that

Am Aboard For Jerusaleml

Strange indeed must that cry sound at
the little town of Jaffa, the seaport of
Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Jaffa is
the ancient Joppa of the New Testament,
and in straight line is 81 miles north
west Of Jerusalem The railroad which
has at length connected the two cities with
bands of steel is, however, SO miles long.
winding part way through huge waste
of sand bank, part way running across
fertile and beautiful valley land and
again climbing rugged mountain heights.
Oriental superstition would not, how
ever, permit the station at the terminus
of the road to be located in the city of
Jerusalem itself. but required that it
should be a mile away. whence the tour
list takes carriage to the Holy City. 1t
will not be long, though, till that mile
of distance is covered with houses and
ginger ale shops and peanut stands if
the railroad has its usual Weakening eff
feet ON the human mind The road was
built by French company.
Since the dawn of history this ground
over which the new road passes has been
the scene of great events. Samson per-
formed his exploits somewhere along this
road, and it may interest Bible readers
to know that the country is still full of
foxes. From the Old Testament times
to the New. thence to the conquest of
the Saracen. then the campaign of Ma
poleon, the record of war and tremendous
events goes ON without break. AS i'm
portant, as thrilling as any, is the story
of the railroad train which at last shrieks
across the ruin and desolation and
wakens into life the sleeping centuries
of the orient.

THE Commercial Club has al
ready done sufficient work to iusti-
fly its existence. 1t has raised funds
to build needed sidewalks. 1t has
just completed a 200 foot dock at
the foot Of Main Street so as to in
sure the landing of boats near the
business centre. So long as boats
land at the foot of Main Street, the
the town will get some benefit from
the travel passing through it.
The Commercial Club is an organ
ization where citizens can meet and
discuss public matters, and arrange
for carrying out plans calculated
for the public good, instead of hav-
ing to drum up an occasional meet
ing, which, as everyone knows, is
seldom done. Yet there are people
who are stricken with terrors every
time the Commercial Club is men
toned. The HERALD does not
wish to question the judgement of
some of the towns most substan-
tial citizens, but we cannot under
stand this feeling against the organi-
cation. If the HERALD is wrong in
advocating progress and public inn
provements then the object for
which it was established is gone
and the town has no need of a
newspaper

WHO will be deputy collector of
customs at this place is a question
that is interesting a good many of
the unterri6ed. Ex-Sherif Nc
Clure seems to have the pull with
the outside politicians and is being
backed by John NJ. Burke. Tim
Callahan is in the field for the APP
pointment and has some good back
ing in Montana where the throne
of power is supposed to be located.
Judge John Hoban is also being
spoken of for the position and his
strong points are his qualifications
and his sterling democracy. Jas.
E. Dolan, the present officer, is a
thoroughly competent man, and we
imagine the new collector will not
be in hurry to part with an ex-
perienced assistant for one who
knows little of the intricacies of the
office. 1t takes man of no small
calibre to discharge the duties sue
cessfully at this Office, and it is a
case where an ounce Of experience
is worth a ton of theory.

The new premier of the Australian
colony of Victoria, Mr.. Patterson, began
life as a worlingman, like John Burns,
and is in full sympathy with industrial
progressive movements in all their forms.
1t is something new for workingmen to
have a man from their own ranks hold
a high official position, but it shows
what must come. 1t is said that the first
object of Mr.. Patterson viii be to revive
the declining prosperity of Victoria and
to make an effort to stop the piling up of
any more debt. This resolution is es-
pecially gratifying to England. BY the
way, it is odd, is it not, while the United
States is rich and prosperous and grow
ing more so as fast as any country can.
that the colonies of Great Britain are
struggling with debt and seem to be
moving backward? Canada is one ex-
ample of it; India is in chronic state of
poverty and distress-often hunger
while some Of the colonies even of rich
Australia, Victoria, for instance, are in
a condition of great financial depression.

The I,Imira System

The best deeds are always done with the
least fuss. That is why not much trump
citing has been heard about the so called
Elplira prison system, which is quietly
working a revolution and redemption in
the penitentiaries of the country. Its
underlying idea is not to punish a con-
vict, but to keep him from doing any
more harm till he learns to do good.
Maryland and Pennsylvania have also
taken up the system and are working it
out in their state reformatories.
When a convict is sent to Elmira, he is
first referred to a physician. who ques-
tions him as to his health, parentage,
etc. Then he is passed on to the super
intendent, who investigates his intel
lectual and moral training, habits and
occupation. With this knowledge the
officials set about their work. The pris-
oner is thoroughly cleaned up as to his
body and put to work. Thirtytwo diff
ferent trades are taught in the institu-
ton. When the prisoner steps out once
more a free man, he has not only a trade,
but also regular habits of work. both of
which are worth more than million dol
lars to him
Further, while he was in prison he
went to school, All the ordinary branches
are taught in the reformatory, while for
those whose intellects are better cult
waited than their moral natures there are
higher classes in such branches as polit-
ical economy, algebra, history and phys
ical geography. A good library is at
tached. 1t is fact that these prison
inmates publish a paper regularly, all
the work of which is done by them
selves. Equal attention is bestowed on
their moral training. No intricate and
dull doctrinal sermons are preached, but
the religious teaching is simple and eth
ical dealing with such questions as every
child can see the force of. In addition
a well equipped gymnasium is attached,
and the men take physical culture in its
most approved form. Attendance on
all these means of development and Gull
ture is compulsory.
Finally, at the end of his term the
prisoner receives a part of the money he
earned during his imprisonment While
it lasted he gradually received more and
more privileges as fast as it was proved
that he could bear them If, now, the
system could go one step further and de-
stroy that cruel prejudice against prison
els after their release, it would be perfect.

The Twentieth Century Tenement

1t will be what Lucia True Ames de-
picts in The New England Magazine
probably. She says the tenement house
system properly mansged furnishes the
best solution of the problem of housing
the poor, and that the smallest death
rate she has found anywhere was that
in an east London tenement house.
Mrs. Ames prefers a large. building,
which will house from so to 60 families.
She would have them all supplied with
heat for their rooms from one central
plant, the heat being either from hot air
or steam. She argues rightly that this
could be furnished by the owner of the
building and its expense charged in the
rent for much less money than is now paid
for fuel by the wretchedly poor as well
as wasteful tenants, who buy it in small
quantities and carry it up three or four
flights of stairs, leaving the halls and
steps constantly dirty and Uttered. This
proposition is self evident.
The next great reform will be to have a
kitchen on the top floor of the tenement
Here one trained cook and two assist
ants can prepare nourishing, wholesome
food much better than the tenement oc-
cupant usually gets and supply it to the
families for less than they pay now. By
means of dumb walters it could be con-
veyed to every family. Thus at one blow
both wretched cookery and the hideous
cook stove, with its dust and ashes, la
Dor making and poisonous gases, would
be eliminated from the tenement house.
Certainly the millennium would begin if
this sort of a tenement house were to be
sprung upon us suddenly. So far as res
civilized needs go, the tenement hols
occupant in mansion like this would 10
practically as well off as the guest of a
fashionable hotel

Happenings Round About.

Col. Anderson Gordon, a prominent citizen, and Colonel of Gordon's confed- crate regiment during the war died at Morrilton Monday.
 From the number of new arrivals not ed in the last issue of the Mail it is evil dent that the "home immigration so- cietyn of Atkins numbers not few ac- tive and industrious members.
 Ex-Sherif Shelby of Morrilton, a prominent candidate for internal reye- nue collector under Cleveland, was stab bed in the abdomen by Jim Heard Sun day afternoon, it being the outcome of a personal difference and a little politics.
 The board of directors of Morrilton school district has purchased the college building agreeing to pay $l0,O00 for the saEle. The entire revenue of the dis trict, amounting to about s4000 Is to be paid annually, until the building is paid for. Thus Morrilton will be without a public school for 2ls years at least.
 Miss Hattie Payne, postmistress at Lamar for the past eight years, IS an ap- plicant for re-appointment under the incoming administration. Under her management the office has been con ducted with marked ability and effici- eney, and tho interests of it's patrons subserl ed with the utmost fairness and impartiality. She was first appointed under Mir, Cieveland's last administra- tion, retained by the present admins tration, and wishes to be continued an other term. We trust Col. Terry will promptly recommend her appointment, for she richly deserves it.

Hildebrand and learning of Edwards presence in the city swore out warrant for his arrest on information charging him with complicity in the robbery. He was very wroth on account of his arrest and denied ever having heard Of Adams or Holden. Briefly. his statement IS as follows: T met Hildebrand in Chicago four years ago and knew him very we'll On January 26, last he was in Chicago with big roll of money which he said he had made on prize fights and was get ting $100 month from a gymnasium in Fort Smith, Ark lie had newspaper clippings and Ietters from Ft. Smith showing that he had been giving pugil- istic entertainments. About the first of the month he said he.-was going back to Arkansas, and as 1 had decided to go to Hot Springs, l accompanied him. We arrived in Little Rock on Feb. 3 and reg istered at the Deming House. We took the same room. After we had been there three or four days Hildebrand said he was waiting for another partner. He then began to talk about safe blowing and wanted me to join him. He said all I had to do was to stay on the outside, that he could knock off a safe door in eight minutes. My mind was now chang ed as to the kind of man Hildebrand was, and not caring to be mixed up in such business, left Monday night for Hot Springs. was surprised to see my name connected with the arrest of Hll- debrand in Wednesdays paper"
 Sheriff Johnson returned from Little Rock Sunday night with Hildebrand and Edwards, who, together with Adams and Holden, are in jail awaiting their ex- animation which will take place next Monday. Prosecuting Attorney Davis duties in the Dardanelle court preclud- ing an earlier trial.
 1t is reported that witnesses stand ready to testify that these men were seen at Atkins and also in the vicinity of Potts Stationonthe day proceeding the robbery.
 There is little doubt of the guilt of the men as charged, but whether the proof will be sufficiently strong to convict, IS of course, impossible to state.
