An African Kings Family.

The following is an extract from q
letter written by a French lady in Sene-
gal and published in a Paris newspaper,
referring to visit to King Behanzin of
Dahomey, on board the SECOND: 1.-The
king, followed by five wives and four
children, of whom one is a handsome
boy, then came forward in silk man
tie striped with black and blue and
elegantly draped. His head was bare,
and he had on his feet sandals held on
by crossed bands embroidered in woods
of many colors He smoked a large
ebony pipe, the bowl and shank of which
were circled with silver. His French is
limited to bon jour aud ami, and am
the first white woman he ever saw, and
the sight of me astonished him. He at
first gazed at me, then roared with
laughter, and when he had roared till he
was tired looked around and asked
where my husband was. The interpreter
having pointed him out, he took him by
the shoulder and gave him friendly
shake, which was as much as to say,
What lucky fellow you areP One Of
the five wives cooks. She has lost all
her teeth. The others stand around the
deposed king. The children are very
nice. Behanzin is elderly, about 55, and
has a white head of hair. He hardly
knows how TO walk, because on account
of his rank he has always been carried

Are overskirts to be worm In toi,

erybody knows, is full dress and made
of silk, gauze, lace or any of the trans

while the costume may be velvet, stuff,
silk or cloth, with fur, lace and bead
trimming. One New York dry goods

THE ARTISTS QUEEN.

An artist once gave to the canvas face
That the wise came miles to see
A lovelight glance in eyes all a-dance
He had caught in its subtlety.
He had given a crown to the regal one
And knights at her command,
But the girllike mien was not of a queen,
Though courtiers kissed her hand.
And the critics said, as they gazed enrapt
That the rank Of queen was not there,
Though there never was such grace and
such touch
Or a face more delicate, fair.
And they hied to the artist and found that
he
Was in quarters poor and bare,
But he held to his heart the counterpart
OF rustic maiden there.

TURF PHILOSOPHY.

They are going faster around thestove
this winter than ever before.
Another year has passed into history,
and the 300 trotter is no nearer than
year ago.
If you win often enough, you will he
ahead of the game, no matter how small
the purses.
A consistent winner in humble COM
pany is better than a proverbial loser i'll
swell circles.
When you throw horse at man as
you would an old shoe, his estimate of its
worth is low.
The trainer who hurries too much and
"splits 'em wide open" generally soon
comes to grief.
The power and longevity of the horse
are in exact ratio to the intelligent care
and feeding he receives.
The track that lives closest to the
rules is the track that is most popular
with horsemen and the public.
The sky of the breeders armament
may be cloudy, but there is the everlast-
ing silver lining behind the gloom after
all.
When horses are taught to start, has
ten, loiter and stop by low sounds of the
voice, driving will become more enjoya-
BILE.
Scientific breeding, parlor tracks and
bicycle sulkies have done away with the
old fashioned trotter, who was not born,
but manufactured.
Warm the bride bits before thrusting
them into the horses mouths ON frosty
days. If you want to know the reason
for this, just stick your tongue to piece
of cold iron.-Turf, Field and Farm.

CANDIDATES AT GREENWOOD.

GREENWOOD, August S.-The can
didates for Governor spoke here to-
day to a large audience. Col. Bar
ker opened the discussion with the
usual charge against the Democrat
ic party Gen. Clarke then follow
ed and showed the official record of
Col. Barker; how it was against the
poor, unfortunate and oppressed;
also his poll tax, whipping post and
legislation in favor of landlords and
against the poor laborer, and asked
where it was that he professed such
friendship for the poor man.
Col. Kennel spoke good humor-
edly and did not undertake to de-
fend the Republican party, but said
he was a vote getter, and not res
ponsible for the misconduct of the
Republican party. Col. Barker
closed with his usual explanation.
The Democrats Of this county will
roll up the usual majority at the
election.

BARKER's POLL TAX.
Has the Populite Candidate for Gov
ernor the Voters Qualih-
cation2

Where does he belong2
SO far as heard from it seems
that the Hon. D. e. Barker, who is
now stamping the State as the
nominee Of the Populist party for
governor, is "a man without coun-
try" At least it seems that he is
man without a county.
Under the laws of the State of
Arkansas, and every State under
the Constitution of the United
States has the right to prescribe
the qualifications Of its electors,
the Hon ID. Il. Barker, IL seems is
not a qualified elector and, there
fore, ineligible to hold an Office withs
in the State.
Mr. Barker has at various times
been a resident of Drew, Jefferson
and Pulaski Counties. Drew honor
ed him by sending him to the Leg
stature six terms He is an owner
of real estate in that county and
has paid his taxes on that proper
ty A careful investigation of the
tax books of that county, however,
recently made, shows that he has
neither paid his poll tax nor his per-
sonal property tax for the past
three years.

city yesterday, 1t was surprise
not only to his Populist friends but
to his political enemies as well.

that no mistake had been made, an
examination of the tax books of

NOT SO CLEAR,
The Tariff Skies Yet Clouded With
Doubt and Uncertainty.

Concerning progress of the tariff
conference, a special dispatch from
Washington, under date of August
9TH, has this to say:
The tariff conference today was
entirely subordinated to the House
caucus and was devoid of interest
ing features. The conferees held
two brief sessions during the day
and discussed the coal and iron
questions, besides reverting to the
sugar schedule. The talk, however,
served no purpose except to empha-
size the fact that the disagreement
is still uubroken and that very little
if any progress is being made. The
purpose of taking up the sugar
schedule again cannot be learned.
1t is also impossible to ascertain
what reason the House conferees
assigned for declining to accept the
sliding scale on coal and iron ore
proposed by the Senate conferees.
1t would appear from all informa-
ton that can be secured that with
out giving any special reason they
resumed their argument for free
raw materials. 1t has come to be
understood that in these meetings
the House members are doing 4
greater part of the talking and the
Senators have come to be very pa
tient listeners, The yielding of
Senator Voorhees, has led the House
conferees to the conclusion that
other conquests are possible. On
the other hand the Senators have
not concealed their impatience at
the delay, and the Senate conferees
have expressed their convictions
many times during the past week
that if any agreement is not soon
reached the situation demands the
report of another disagreement.
This sentiment found utterance
more than once Tuesday, and being
repeated in the Senate chamber,
led to a general circulation of re-
port that either an agreement
would be reached or a disagreement
decided upon Wednesday. When
asked as to the foundation for this
report one of the Senate conferees
stated that it was among the posi-
bilities, but he would not say that it
was probable. There are some in
dications that an early conclusion
Of the conference may be brought
about. One of these is found in the
fact that Senator German has made
careful Investigations of the status
of the bill in case a report should
be made. Certain of the cOnserva-
tive Senators have been very impa-
tient Of the delay in conference and
it is known that a resolution dis
charging the conference from the
further consideration of the bill,
and receding from the sugar sched-
ule, was drawn up by one of them
on Monday and would have been
presented on that day but for the
interference of members of the
conference committee. There is
still talk of the possibility of such
motion, but it will not be made eX-
cept with the consent Of the Sen
ator conferres.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 8,-Gov.
Matthews has decided to pay off
with borrowed money the MALTA
who were in service during the
strike. In order to secure it he
must give his own note. He has de-
cided to raise it in this way, trust
ing to the Legislature to reimburse
him. The amount required is about
$45, 600. He assumes the response
bility, he says, because many of the
soldiers lost work or are out of work
and if they are not paid they will
be made victims of money lenders,
who willcut their claims in two.
