Ring In the New Year.

It was preciously freighted, the 9:42 a. m. train on the l.. R. & Nj. By. on the night of December 31, when it rolled out of the depot with portion of the beauty and chlvalry of Forrest City on their way to attend the New Year Ball of the Social Club at Brink. ley.

R. Shade, Mir. and Mrs. B. l. Adkins. Will T. Webb and Claude Farley as royers.
 The address of welcome by President Greenleaf, was sweet bit of oratory, and made every body feel at home The responses by Messrs. Shade, Adkins and Farley. were brief, but as eloquent as the Greek orators of Old-so we have been informed.
 The New Year greeting by Hon. Harry Myers, was appropriate and beautiful, and formed an important feature of the evening. The supper was it for the feast of gods," and all the criticism we could elicit was, that they were 'too full for utterance." !" Dancing was kept up until train time, and all embarked for home, with a heartfelt wish for Happy New Year for all the good people of Brinkley.

ANOTHER occupant for the county

ANOTHER occupant for the county jail brings to our minds very forcibly the peculiar operation of our laws. A man Is arrested for selling whiskey; Is fined $500, and in default of payment is sent to the county jail, the constable being unable to hire him out at any price. For lying idle in prison the law allows the convict credit on his fine of Sl for each day he remains in custo- dy. In this case this means that he must remain in tail 300 days, at an expense to the county of not less than Sl50. Our laws contemplate that the 'convicts should be hired out and made to pay revenue to the county, in which case his hard labor pays the fine, and he is thus punished. But there being no regular market for convict labor, and no farm or other place where con victs are worked, and no place where safe-keeping of prisoners is provided for, they are allowed to remain in jail, an expense to the county, and virtually receiving board and lodging as pre- mium for their misdeeds, sacrificing nothing but liberty, which to many is not priceless. The county virtually pays the fine, instead of swelling her coffers, as the law contemplates.
 It has been suggested that if St. Francis, Lee and Cross, or any other counties, would agree upon a place, a man, and price per day for their con- victs, and let them to responsible per son, they could be made a source of revenue and be made to work as pun ishment for their misdeeds. Under the present regime it is regular bonan- za' to the trifling vagabond to be con- yicted of a petty crime or misdemsanor. for it insures them good, warm meals, comfortable bed and humane treat ment, and the county is compelled to pay for it.
 There are those who would go to the expense of building and maintaining stockade, could they be assured of re- ceivlng the convicts of two or three counties Ut reasonable and stated figure. If within his province Judge Cowan can form some such arrange ment with Cross and Lee counties, we suggest that he give the matter consideration, and mature some pla n by which the convicts may be made self-sustaining and even source of pecuniary profit, instead of loss, as at present.

A. p. A. Decides Not to Come Out rs
u Political Party.

SAGINAW, Mich, March 1.-THE
state council of the A. p. A. had
busy day. The annual address of
President Beatty gave a detailed
statement of the condition and work
of the order in Michigan, and con-
tanned several recommendations re-
garding the conduct of the order,
nearly all of which were concurred
in. The report of the state secretary
shows membership in the state of
$4,000, and the condition of the order
is fiourishing. The charges of Wal
ter Sims, who has seeded from the
order and is now forming a new one,
to the effect that the A. P. A. is
losing ground, were declared to be
without foundation. The report of
the executive board was unani-
mously adopted.
The question of organizing an indie
pendent political party was discussed
and it was decided that the PROPOSE
ton was properly within the jurisdic-
ton of the national organization. For
the present the council agreed that the
order should perform it's work in the
regular way through existing political
channels, only supporting such NOM
inees as agree with the principles of
the order. The council then adjourned
until tomorrow.

His Motion for New Trial Denied
by Judge JamisOn.
The irrepressible Jakey Foell, who
fought, bled, died and is now buried
in his struggle to get possession of
Roman Aiexander's seat in the city
council as alderman from the First
ward, was turned down yesterday by
Judge Jamison. The courts decision
in the case was filed last evening. A
long memorandum accompanies the
decision, setting forth the reasons why
new trial should not be granted.
Foelis last claim was that he had
plenty of NEWLY discovered evidence"
In regard to that unknown quantity,
Judge Jamison says:
In order to warrant the court in
granting the motion for a new trial on
that ground, it should appear that the
contestant could not with reasonable
diligence have discovered and produced
such evidence on the trial. The con-
testant was informed by the notice
and specifications served by the con-
testee that it was claimed that ballots
We're cast by illiterate electors who
were not sworn in all the precincts of
the ward in question:
No such evidence was offered except
in the Sixth precinct, although the new
ly discovered evidence is to the effect
that such votes had been cast in other
precincts. 1t was FoeIls business to
make inquiry of the judges of election,
which he failed to do.

Over Question OF Cup or
Cups.

BALTIMORE. March PA resolu-

1eet large portion of the delegates
Rey. Richard Harcourt, pastor of
Grace church, Baltimore, which re-
Gently adopted individual cups, said
Il would like to know in what particu-
lar the use of individual cups conflicts
with the Bible or the Methodist dis
cipline?"
Il think there is no authority for
their use in either" the bishop an
swered. Jesus Christ said cup not
cups. That is my conviction" Gap
plause while all eyes centered again
on DIR. Harcourt.)
We'll, as to that" Dr. Harcourt re-
piled, Il think L can say there is
Scriptural authority for the use of
individual cups. Christ said This cup
divide among YOU AS to the disci-
pine, what is there in it against indi-
vidual cups
you can read the discipline" Bishop
Andrews announced.
But L am waiting for you, as the
president of this conference, to read
it" DR.. Harcourt said.
II decline to do it," the bishop ans
wered
There was time" DR.. Harcourt
resumed, when it was said every one
had to go clean-shaven like the bishop
of this conference-when there was no
dipping of moustache into the cup
with perhaps tobacco juice on it; when
there was no. offensive suffering from
the grip after having left the handker-
chief at home. (Groans) 1 tell you,
Mr.. President that from these causes,
from the table of the Lord and His
communion, l have administered

nations of ooh, Oh" and cries of
'Stopn) But DR.. Harcourt continued:
IF there We're not so many ladies
present, L might give you brethren
some facts. (Groans and calls to or
der) But 1 refrain
The bishop called DR.. Harcourt to
order and Dr. Harcourt said: Ger
tainly, bishop. I said 1 would refrain

resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That we hereby declare
that our action taken this morning
with reference to the use of individ-

strued as either approving or con-
demning this innovation.
The conference rejected a proposition
to admit women to the general con-
ference lie to 60. When affirma tive
votes were recorded the ladies APP
plauded until warned by the bishop to
cease such demonstrations. A commit

ELDER STEWART SPEAKS.
He Loaned w. w. Hayward Five
thousand Dollars for Harry,s
Defense.


Defense.
The slanderous and foolish rumors
that have been circulated concerning
Elder Stewards connection with the
HayWardS and the notorious case
which has just closed have at last pro-
voked him into making an eXplana-
ton.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
he said that it was true he had fur
nlshed money for Harrys defense, but
the whole transaction was easily eX-
planned. His father came to me-
said the Elder latter Harry's arrest.
and stated that he had to have a large
amount of money. l knew, of course,
what he wanted ready cash for, but
that was not my affair, and l loaned
MIN $1,000 on property security.
AS to the scene in the office with
Harry that day, L know all about it.
Adrian told me of it the next day, and
1t was precisely the same story he told
on the stand. The boy told me that he
believed his brother meant to murder
him that day Adry had nothing to do
with the murder, and his mother knows
it perfectly well. She has told me so
time and time again since the night of
the tragedy. Moreover, she was firm in
her statement that if Harry committed
the crime he ought to suffer for it.
Erwin made her believe that she
could save Harry by attacking Adry,
but there never was a reasonable pos
sibility of connecting Adry with the
murder. And want to say that it was
on Friday that Adry told me of Harrys
plot to murder Miss Cling. I never saw
him afterwards until he was in JAIL

Cruel Peter BOdvin.

The inquest over the remains of Pc
ter Bodvin, who was murdered by his
son Nicholas Monday morning, will be
held today. Mrs. Bodvin, the wife of
the murdered man, talks freely of the
terrible affair. In converse ton with
a GLOBE reporter yesterday she went
into the details of her domestic troub-
les, and said that long years of inc
briefly had made her husband as ire
sponsible as an insane man. Her story
corroborateS that of her son in every
particular.
Young Bodvin says that several
years ago his father kicked a younger
son in the spine, causing injuries from
which the child died a few months
afterwards. Nicholas says he remem-
bered this incident when his father at
tackled him, and made up his mind to
protect himself at any cost The story
of the brutal kicking of the young
child is vouched for by the neighbors,
and many more are told of the dead
mans inhuman disposition.

UNION IN ANTIPODES.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 12.-Ad-
vices received by the steamship Mo-
wara state that a conference of pre-
miers at Hobart, Tasmania, has re-
suited in the drafting of an Australia
sian federation enabling bill, which,
by arrangement, is to submitted first
to the parliament of New South Wales
for adoption. The understanding Is
that the other governments will wait
until they see what may happen
there, and if the bill should be amend
ed there, they will endeavor to SUBJ
nit to their respective legislatures
bills altered in a corresponding man
ner.
How far this readiness to accept
changes would be carried in practice
does not appear but it is obvious that
if the government is to be successful
the bills passed in all the colonies
must be uniform as to their main pro-
visions. Several of the premiers have
expressed satisfaction with the work
done by the conference.
