Lillian Lewis,

The popular emotional actress, Lii
lian Lewis, is the next attraction to ap-
pear at Ghio's opera house. She will
give matinee and night performance
on March 10Th.
The New York Times says of her:
"Miss Lewis is handsome as well as
graceful--her acting was perfection,
and the applause which greeted her
was of sufficient nature to assure her
hearty welcome. The company was
strong, especially Whitecar and Gus
tavus Levick. The costumes and
scenery called for plenty of admira-
ton, and the Standard Theatre was
crowded with an audience which
thoroughly enjoyed the play, and
which gave vent to its feelings by con-
tinuous applause. Tady Lii" is the
hit Of the season. The play is worth
great deal of money, and should
make both Lillian Lewis and Law.

The Washington Tea.

The entertainment last evening in
the pleasing form Of a Washington
tea, given by the ladies auxiliary at
the Y NJ G A hall IN this city, was
unanimously pronounced one of the
most delightful features of the social
season. The assomblage of youth and
beauty on this occasion was indica-
tive Of the popularity of bolh the
cause for which the entertainment
was given and those under whose
patronage the same was gotten up.
The hall was brilliantly lighted and
profusely decorated, giving evidence,
unmistakable Of the combined effect
OF innate taste with artistic skill, The
event was, we understand, financial
as well AZ social success. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed upon the
ladies, who by their untlring efforts,
made this affair such a pronounced
success.

Reciprocity a Failure.

An instance in which reciprocity
fails to reciprocate is that Of Spain,
whose almost incredible increase in
the production of beet sugar has ne
cessitated the levying Of an export
tax, which is resented by the au-
thorities of Spain as direct violation
of their reciprocity treaty with this
country, which abolishes dnty on GER
tain grades of raw sugar. At the
time this treaty was concluded the
United States shipped annually many
cargoes of cane sugar to European
countries. But now the condition OF
affairs has undergone complete
change and despite the terrible devas-
tation by fire Of the sugar fields Of
Cuba. steamers of the Morgan line
leave Havana carrying many tons of
native sugars to New Orleans, La, for
American consumption. Thus 1t is
that payment of the recent export
taxes ON sugar is made under protest
as it is considered to be in violation
of the terms of the treaty with the
United States when the duty was
abolished on certain grades Of raw
sugars upon the agreement on the
part of Spain that all export duties
should be done away with. This may
lead to complicated difficulties with
the United States resulting in the au-
nulling of the treaty with that govern
ment. When The new administration
goes into power March A this "reci-
procity treaty" will no doubt receive
general overhauling and be brought
into more reciprocal shape.

failed to secure the shops of one or
the other of these two divisions, must
always be more or less of a mystery
to those most familiar with the natur-
al and acquired advantages, which, by
reason of her almost exactly central
location, she offers over either of those
cities in which such shops have been
established. In view of these facts
the question naturally arises: "Will
Texarkana continue to be an outsider,
receiving no share in the benefits of
this important system, of which she,
by all means, should be
the greatest beneficiary, or
will her citizens arouse themselves
to the necessity for prompt and in
telligent action and take steps to re-
deem in some measure her lost oppor-
tunities" If so, now is the time for
action. There has recently been evil
denced desire on the part of the
leading officials of this road to make
Texarkana q more important factor in
the business and mechanical interests
of their system. Such intention on
their part is made clear by recent ar
rangements for increased facilities in
handling the company's business at
this point. Larger buildings are to
be constructed, and other needed Inn
provements made. Hence we suggest
that our leading citizens on both sides
of the line take the matter in hand
and put forth an earnest endeavor to
induce every possible concession from
the officials of this road.

Reported Capture.

Reports have reached here of the
capture of the negro rape fiend, whose
brutal attempt to outrage the person
of Miss Flora Boyd, most highly re-
spected and beautiful young lady OF
Medcna, Tenn, was only frustrated by
the timely arrival of help. If upon
being taken before his would be vic
tim, the prisoner is identified as the
black brute who attempted the out
rage his shift Will indeed be a short
one, as this is the second attempt of
the same devilish character made up
on the persons of defenseless white
ladies IN that community within the
past few months and from the hour
of its attempted perpetration a band
of determined and infuriated citizens
have kept close upon the trail Of the
guilty wretch. just where these con-
tinued attempts on the part of treach-
erous black brutes will end would be
hard sndeed to say.

somethine Needed and pesired.

The proposed completion Of the
Texarkana Il TT Smith road has serv-
ed to attract the attention Of many
good and substantial farmers, who
look eagerly forward to the opening
of the vast tracts Of fertile
farming land along the line Of
Of the proposed road. That the COM
pletion Of this road will bring hun
dreds of home seekers in its wake can
readily be foreseen, and that their
coming and permanent location In
this territory will lnure TO the ma
terial benefit and general prosperity
of our city cannot well be doubted.
Such men are always a desirable and
excellent addition to any community
and in this particular instance their
coming will fill want long felt, as
the agricultural resources Of Texarka-
na have always been inferior to lts
other material advantages and devel-
oped resources. This defect can only
be cured by inducing such men as
those mentioned above to come here
and make this country their perma-
nent future home. To this end the
good citizens of Texarkana should
strive most errnestly.

the accepted inventor of the telephone.
The story, as given in his own words,
and vouched for by other responsible
and disinterested witnesses, is as fol-
lows:
zone day in 1912, | wound my
watch and laid it on table. moved
to the other end of the table, six or
seven feet away, lay down and went
to sleep When | awoke, and before
| raised my head from the table, |
heard the ticking of my watch distin-
city. Some time after, | placed my
watch on the end of pole and heard
the ticking as distinctly at the other
end as if | had he'd the watch itself
against my ear.
ain the following Summer, 1913
while walking one morning with a
shopmate, | passed the beautiful
ground of Esquire Harris, at Hayne,
township of Stowford, County of
Devonshire, England. A wire fence,
1900 feet long, was by the roadside.
l wagered a sum of money that could
take my watch to one end of the fence
and the ticking could be distinctly
heard at the other. My shOpmate
took the wager, walked to one end of
the fence, signaled me with his hand
kerchisf, and ] placed my watch on
the top wire. l took 1t off and re-
placed it several times. My shopmate
came back presently, paid the wager,
and said he had heard the watch tick
as distinctly as if it had been held to
his ear.
That was about fifty years ago. It,
was my first experience with the tele-
phone. was 10 years old then, but
couldn't see far enough ahead to make
the millions that | might have made
out of my discovery"

We are surprised at the action of
the owners of this large three-story
building. as the rents they have been
receiving seem to us ample. and espec-
tally as few mercantile firms can use
to advantage SO much floor space.
But their seeming short-sightedness is
no concern of ours, except our desire
to see the city prosper, and fewer in
stead of more vacant business houses.
Unless Messrs O'Dwyer & Ahern can
secure suitable quarters, it is possible
that they may move to some other
city to engage in business; as they are
live, enterprising gentlemen, we trust
such an emergency will not arise.
Texarkana can lily afford to lose such
