Another Judge Necessary.

A Alargely-attendended meeting of the members of the Little Rock bar was held in the supreme court room the other day to devise ways and means for securing another circuit judge for the Little Rock circuit.

The misbehavior of chrysanthe- nuns, after one has paid dollar pot for them, is one of the woes of the housewife who expects them to serve fer two seasons. In the second year they will often flower eopiously, but each blossom will be only a quarter of the size of the blossoms that were on it when it cost a dollar The florists pinch off all but ten or dozen buds in order to throw the strength of the plant into them alone. And after a plant is two years old they seldom try to keep it. They let it rest in the cellar during the winter, and slip" the new growths for forcing and selling in the fall.

Regarded as n Gross Error.

The supreme court the other day laid down an important precedent in the criminal practice of this state. A. L. Rogers, former society leader of Clarksville, was convicted of murder in the Yell county circuit court and sen fenced to a term of five years in the penitentiary. The case went to Yell county on q change of venue from Johnson, of which Clarlls- vile is the county seat. During the trial the circuit judge vacated the bench and gave evidence tending to show that Rogers was granted con- tinuanee on the ground that an inn portant witness was absent. Subse- quent developments showed that the witness was not wanted by Rogers, and, in fact, knew nothing but what was damaging to his case.
 Judge Riddicl, in an exhaustive opinion, said the calling of the trial judge to the witness box was gross error, and for that reason would reverse the judgmentof the lower court and remanded the case for anOthei trial. Rogers has been in the penitel tiary since his conviction, and whel he heard the news he shouted for joy. He killed barber named Koeringer.

TOO MUCH SALARY.
How It Was Positive Disadvantage to
 Hard Working Clerk.

How It Was "a Positive Disadvantage to q
 Hard-Worlsing Clerk.
 The salary of a clerk is at once a curse and a blessing, according as he uses it. If he spends every cent of it, knowing he is going to have just so much to spend. it is q curse; but if he guides his expenditures so that he shall save so much every year, then it is a blessing for him, for it enables him to regulate his wants There are men, men of mature years, men of families, who look upon a salary as a figure that they are expected to spend yearly; an increase of salary means an increase in expenditure, and though it would seem an easy matter to cut off some of the extras should the salary grow smaller, in reality it is by no means easy. When one has indulged in lux ury long enough he begins to consider it a necessity.
 1 knew a man who, on a salary of nine hundred dollars a year, raised a family and bought and paid for com fortable little home. A change in the firm he was with benefited him by an increase in salary, and eventually it reached the sum of fifteen hundred dollars year. One would think that if he had been able to live on nine hundred dollars he ought to save a snug sum yearly on fifteen hundred dollars; but he did nothing of the kind; The increased salary enabled him to get horse, his wife more expensive bonnets, and his daughter piano and music teacher and the truth was he found it harder work to make both ends meet than he had in the old days And when his affairs were probated last spring his entire property consist ed of house and lot he had paid for when he was working for nine hundred dollars q year.

If what officers of the Little Rock, Hot Springs & Texas railway say is true, the problem of its completion be- tween Hot Springs and Benton is only a question of few months General Auditor Foster says that arrangements are in progress for the resumption of work immediately following the holi days.

ANTI-GorIn MOVE.

Upon the suggestion of Chairman Dickinson, who said that it had been stated that some citizens were afraid that the enterprise would fall into the hands of the Goulds, it was decided as the sense of the meeting that condi- tion should attach to the subscriptions to the effect that if the new line is ab- sorbed by the Goulds the bonus shall be refunded to the subscribers.
 WHAT OTHER TOWNS WILL DO.
 Dardanelle, town of not over 5000 people, agrees to subscribe S75, 900 and twenty acres of ground. Paris and Charlestown will subscribe $50, GOO and twenty-five acres of land each, and all these towns agree to furnish in addi- tion the right of way for the road through their respective counties.
 CRITICISED BY THE GOVERNOR
 Gov. Fishback criticised the anti Gould resolution as unnecessary and a cloud upon the title The men who are at the head of it have every inter- est in building the road as competi- tor of the Gould system. This should be sufficient guarantee that if they can help it the Gould interest will never get control of it.
