The Hebrew Colonies in New Jersey to
 Bring Over Other Recruits.

PHIEADEIPnIA, March 9.--An inves- tigation into the condition of the Hebrew colonies in New Jersey which has just been concluded devel- ops the fact that they are in SO tiourishing a condition that arrange ments will at once be made for bring ing over in the spring a large num- Der of recruits. The investigation shows that the hard times have had little or no effect upon the colonies, that the cloak, willow-ware and other factories are running on full time and furnishing ample employ ment, and that there has been little or no necessity for drawing on the Baro Hirsch trust fund for the reliei of distress

OUR DEPOT
Superintendent ]. 4. Edison says It Will be Bunt-work will begin Within the
 Next Two Months

General Superintendent J A. Edson
 who spent Wednesday and yesterday in the city, stated to several of oui leading citizens that the Cotton Belt road would have their new bricl, depot i1course of erection in thiscity within the next few months and that it would be occupied by fall. This is certainly good news. Pine Bluff has waited long and patiently for this blessing and it will certainly be appreciated fully when it arrives, Patience is d virtare and if there is a city along the route of the Cotton Belt road that has exercised this feel ing toward the road, that city is Pine Bluff.
 We have always claimed that the Cotton Belt road is friend to Pine Bluff and we expect to see this friend ship ripen into depot very soon. It is q conceded fact that this city gives to the road more business than all the towns combined between this place and TeXarkana, yet for months and months we have been wholly without d depot. Of course we would prefer a union depot but if we cart get that, for the Lords sake and our sake let the Cotton Belt give us a depot of some kind We hail Superintendent Edson's news with great 9ladness and send it out to our readers with great rejoicing.

SAM JONES' TICKETS.
Great Crowds Gather at AItschars Thi. Morning and Every Seat Sold
 Within an Hour.

Yesterdays prediction of the salt
 of tickets to sam Jones lecture or
 the 18th inst has been more than
 verified, By o'clock this morning
 large crowds had gathered at
 Altschul's. It looked like a scene in New York when the tickets for some great comedy or tragedy billed for an engagement were on sale Preachers, lawyers, doe tors, merchants, mechanics, in fact, all els sses, kinds and conditions of people formed in line te take their turn in getting reserved seats.
 Promptly at o'clock the march began, with AIf. Nltschul behind the desk and Dr. John F. Carr master of ceremonies IL had been arranged that no one individual should be al- lowed t0 purchase more than six tickets, and those who desired more had engaged divers persons to do their buying fer them. Every boot black in town was mustered into service. They were numbered in regular order. each having his num- Der pinned on the lapel of his coat, and required to take his turn just as in the case of the grist mill. The small boy was i'll his glory He felt his importance as he stepped up to the board and checked off his six seats while he handled somebody else's money.
 The sale began at the first stroke of the city clock Mr. Altschul was never before so busy, but he handled his crowd deXtrously and with great ease and satisfaction. The stream of humanity continued pouring by his desk all the morning and to such an extent that he did not have an opportunity to sell a single cig glr.
 The crowd that assembled was a mixture of saints and sinners, all bent on hearing the great preacher lecturer, and reyiYalist, Sam Jones. Jews and Gentiles alike had assem- bled to get their seats. Creeds and denominations were not thought of Every man was bent on hearing the only man who has eyer said som many hard things about people and still maintained his ground, never hay- ing coveted the favor of living man, although he has been before the most august individuals in America. sam Jones k a man of nerve, of courage, of patriotism, of sympathy, of God, and his usefulness as a great moral ist has been of untold benefit to the world, especially to the United States. Truly he is q wonderful q powerful man. and while the toughest criti- cisms have been made concerning him, and though he has passed under the rod often and repeatedly, still he has proven himself the master of the situation and a modern Goliath, not of physical strength. but of moral worth
 We congratulate the Lakeside Methodist Church that they have succeeded in bringing him here Truly Pine Bluff needs his services, and we sincerely hope that his lecture will be an introduction to his work that we hope will be done in this city in July.

give in to the demands which are to be

1t appears that while General Master
Workman Sovereign of the K. of L.

moral assistance to Grand Chief Debs in
the Great Northern strike, his real pur-
pose was to organize the millers within
the ranks of the K. of L. He succeeded
in forming an assembly and $50 millers
signed the charter of the Flour Mill
Employees Association No. SOC. A
member of the latter, who is now in the
city, but who desires his name with
held, states that organizers are now, or
will soon be, at work in Duluth, Mil
waukee, Rochester, New York, Buffalo,
and st. Louis, and that, while there is
no talk of strike at present there is a
prospect that the demands will be
formulated and presented to the mill
owners.
