Arkansas' Worlds Fair Building.

A great many people have an idea the Arkansas Worlds fair building should be disposed of at profit. Inthis they are mistaken. The material in the building will not pay for its removal according to contract, and it will prob ably cost several hundred dollars be- sides. The lowest bids received by the Worlds fair officials for the removal of the various buildings amounts to thou sands of dollars in each case besides value of the material contained in the buildings. Arkansas would be fortu- nate indeed if it could secure the re- moval of its building for the material Other states have contracted to pay as nigh as s2,900 in addition tn all ma terial.

A Twenty-Pointer Deer.

Lord Burton's magnificent twenty pointer deer, killed recently in Glen quoich forest, proves to have been an unusual one in several particulars The stag, which is not at all remarkable for its size of body in proportion to its massive head, was shot through the back at distance of 800 yards, and it ss said that this is the only known in- stance of a twenty-pointer having ever been killed in Scotch forest One eighteen-pointer killed in 1890 comes the nearest. Lord Burton's trophy has ten perfectly developed tines on each of its magnificent brow antlers and the top of each horn forms a massive clus- ter of seven palmated tines, each point matching in every detail with the cor responding one opposite. It is seldom that such magnificent antlers are found nowadays-London Telegraph.

Regulators Invade Arkansas.

FULTON, Ark. Oct 20.-The regulators have at last invaded this state and are now busily engaged in issuing orders to owners of cotton gins that the latter must desist from further operations until the price of cotton shall have reached ten cents per pound in the different markets of the country. Mississippi was their fiji ISL field of operations. and then their atten- tion was bestowed upon Louisiana and Texas, and from thence they have entered Arkan- sas. Although in the first three states the torch was vigorously applied to gins for noncompliance of the owners with the demands set forward in mo- tices posted at different points. nothing of the kind has yet occurred in this state so far as as certained. as the orier is of very recent origin, andit is not known what action will be taken to protect the property threatened The fol- lowing IS the order placed in conspicuous places on and around some of the gin houses:
 10 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: You are here by notified to immediately stop operations at .hfs gin until cotton has reached the price of ten cents per pound in the different cotton marks of the country. Failing to comply with this request we will assume no responsi 'iity for what may transpire in connection with The gfn-honse and its contents. REGULATORS.

POojah Stone In the Black Pagoda.

What threatened to be serious question between the people of Orissa and the Indian government has been settled by the restoration of the Poo jah stone" to the famous Black Pago- da' in that province, better known as the Temple of the Sun" For ages over the main entrance of the temple there reposed large stone slab on which were carved symbols of the sun, the moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupi- ter aud Mercury and the nodes of the moon. Thirty years ago this planet stone" as it has been called. fell from the architrave of the temple, and. though unnoticed before, it appears to have at once become an object of wor- ship Recently the stone came under the observation of the lieutenant-gov- ernor of Bengal, who, recognizing its artistic value and observing that it was lying apparently unregarded just where it fell, ordered its removal to the India museum. Hereupon, how ever, ensued great excitement among the community, which, as it subse- quently appeared, had been in the habit for years past of making offerings to the stone and to the priest.

The delay 81 She Senate In acting upon
the bin 70 repoal the sherman silver law
. is causing a great deal Of uneasiness in
financial circles. While 10 is stu strong
ly believed that the Senate will pass the
bill there are some who are beginning 20
doubt that il will and this doubt is hav-
ing q hurtful effect in financial circles
and upon business and the industries A
week or so ago the New York Clear
ing House Association began 10
call in the clearing house
certificates that were issued when
the panic was al its height. 1t is under
stood that the cauceling Of these certif-
Gates has been stopped. The banks have
determined to wait until it becomes Ger
tain what the fate of the repeal bill is
10 be.
1t is pretty well agreed that if the
Sherman silver law should not be repealed
the country would be'disturbed by fnan-
cial troubles again, and the opinion seems
TO be that they would be greater and
more disastrous than those that preceded
the calling of congress together. A good
many mills are opening but many others
are waiting for the settlement of the
financial question. They don't want to
be caught by another money stringency
The silver senator's, however, do not
seem to care how much the
business interests suffer They are
more intent in carrying out their scheme
of forcing debased silver currency on
the country than they are in the country's
prosperity. There is not one of them who
can present a convincing argument in
support of his position on the silver ques-
ton, and yet they reject the opinions of
the best business men of the country, and
wholly ignore the teachings of experience
The remarkable recovery of confidence
caused by the belief that the Sherman
silver law will be repealed has no infiu-
ence with them whatever. They attrib-
ute the recovery to other causes, and go
on with their tactics to prevent re-
lief legislation.
They cannot claim that they are en-
gagged in legitimate debate The speeches
that Senators Teller and Stewart deliv-
cred last week were not, strictly speak
ing, speeches. They were made up largely
of clippings from one source and another
and it looks as if they were introduced
into the Senate to kin time. Delay is
what they seek now with the hope of get
ting some sort of compromise, and they
are iibustering to secure delay. The
sooner Senator Voorhees, can get vote
the better it viii be for the country.

the scared banks and the worse scared small
