Yet deed and thought immortal reign.

Senate bill No. 179, providing for an
appropriation for Arkansas exhibit
at the Worlds Fair, was taken up, on
special order, early Monday morning.
The galleries and lobbies were packed
with ladies and gentlemen, who came
to hear the discussion and witness the
result of the Senate's consideration of
this most interesting and important
measure.
The discussion of this bill consumed
the time of the senate during the en-
tire day. The event Of the day was
the speech Ex-senator Adams, of Jefler-
son county, favoring an appropriation
which concluded as follows:
"lf Arkansas be represented, bus
Ting and teeming as she is with her
millions of untold wealth, she will
then show to the world that the cal
umny heretofore thrown upon her fair
name and its loyal and progressive
citizens is false. Let us then do our
duty and vote an appropriation for
this grand and laudable exhibition,
and in so doing your posterity will
rise in future ages to call you blessed"
The Senate adjourned at 4:20 p. m,
without taking vote. The bill will
most likely pass.

A Serious Wreck

News reached this city last evening
of a serious wreck on the Texas &
Pacific railway. No. 2, the passenger
train on that line due here at Gal
p. M, went through trestle neal
Grand Saline, injuring several persons
more or less badly and causing bad
wreck. The train was delayed eight
hours arriving in this city at 2:3C
o'clock this morning, II is diflicalt
owing to the stringent rules of the
company in ell such cases, to obtain
the exact details of the accident or the
precise cause thereof, but from other
sources we learn that the wreck wal
caused by defective timbers giving
away under the weight Of the heavy
train.

MICRosCRIPTIC.

The art of fine writing Is not by any
means modern one, but the rapid
progress made therein recently, almost
reduces il to science. Some of these
performances are truly wonderful.
Especially so when we consider the
the fact that only a short time since,
the writing of the Lords prayer with
in the space covered by an ordinary
nickle, was considered quite feat in
fine writing. Compare this with
some of the modern performances,
that for instance, of a st, Louis young
lady, who wrote 9,106 words ON one
side of the common sized postal card.
The latter effort was excelled by an
other young lady in the same city, who
wrote 1925 words within the same
limited space. Both of the above
writers were distanced by Mr. John 4.
Nixon, a young lawyer of Manissa, H.,
who managed to write 10000 words
on card of the same size and kind.
Now comes the most startling an
nouncement of all--that Miss Emma
Monohan, the widely known "micro-
scriptist" of ST. Louis, has written the
almost incomprehensible number of
24,180 words in the same space above
mentioned. The wonderful work was
done on medium-sized postal card,
the face of which looks simply like a
blurred surface at first glance, but a
closer inspection, even with the naked
eye, brings out clearly and distinctly
well formed letters and words, and
further examination shows that the
entire surface of the card is covered
with writing so infnitesimal as TO be
almost beyond belief.

TRUE CHARITY.

The introduction into the Legisla-
ture of Texas and It's subsequent pass
age through the Senate, of bill pro-
yiding for the establishment and main
tenance OF home for fallen women,
will be greeted throughout the land
with heart felt approval and apprccia-
ton of the people of this nation. In
advocating the measure, Senator
Swayne, its originator, said.
II makes no difference to me, where
the home is located / offered this
bill as coming from the good women
Of Texas, who are working in this
matter without pay, in behalf of hu-
manity To-day girl who has made
her first misstep is spurned from the
door OF every home. No one will
give her employment and there is no
refuge for her but the outstretched
arms of the gilded palaces of sin. 1t
will never be known how many of the
inmates of those places are there be-
cause they cannot obtain shelter any
where else. The women of this State
have taken hold of the matter They
are now, like silent sentinels, awaiting
the verdict of this Senate. You do
not see them here, but defeat this bill,
and you bury the dagger in their
hearts, Tor their hearts are in this
work.
The State has humanely provided
for all other unfortunates, and it Is
right that she should throw her pro-
tectiDg arm around tho unfortunate
class of women this bill is designed to
benefit
At the close Of these feeling words,
the gibcs and laughter indulged in
by the members of-the body, which
had threatened destruction to the bill,
had entirely ceased, and In many in
stances, tears had succeeded laughter.
On call of the roll, the bill was found
to have passed with single dissen-
ting vote. Its immediate passage in
House and final approval by the Gov
ernor, are assured facts.
The measure will bring gladncss and
satisfaction to the hearts Of Texas
women, who have labored 80 earnest
" for It's introduction.

THE BOND FILED.

In accordance with the decision rem
dered by Judge Bryant at Sherman,
Texas, few days since in the injunc-
tion suit of the Texas & Pacific VS.. the
Texarkana & Fort Smith railway, the
defendant to-day filed a bond for
$4,000 with the clerk of the Federal
court of this district The bond was
ordered given as guarantee of in
demnity to the plaintiff for any dam
age sustained by reason of the con-
strHction of crossing by the defend
ant over plaintiffs road bed.
This clears away all obstacles to the
commencement of construction south
from this city along the proposed line
of the Texarkana & Fort Smith rail-
way in Texas.
Let the good work go forward.

"rhe Charity Ball" will be given
for the first time in Texarkana by a
company of flrst-class artists, from the
Lyceum Theatre, New York, under
the management of Mr. Daniel Froh-
man. When Manager Frohman as
sumed the management six years ago
of the Lyceum IL was in declining
condition and he looked about for the
strongest possible play to open IL
with, and that would be best adapted
to the finest and expensive company
he had engaged. Much depended up
ON the first impression, and he finally
determined to secure the services OF
Messrs. DeMille and Belasco TO write
a play for his theatre, with parts suit
ed to each of the principal members
of his company. The result of their
work was "The Wife," which made an
instantaneous success, and ran to
crowded houses for an entire season.
The favor with which "Ihe Wife" was
received was the signal for new plays
by the same authors, and "Lord Chum-
ley" was written, and soon after fol-
lowed by "The Charity Ball"
"The Charity Ball' which, like "The
Wife," was written for the stock COM
pany, was even greater success, and
the two plays at once raised the thea
ire to the high point Of favor which It
has since maintained.
The plays are both Of the kind
known as society dramas" dealing
with the faults and foibles of modern
society Of the upper classes in New
York city. The plot is mainly So
rious in each, but enlivened by flashes
of brilliant comedy, which causes the
smile to follow the face which mo-
ment before was tear.stained.
