SENSATION IN COURT. SCENE CREATED IN THE WOODRUFF TRIAL AT PERRYVILLE. Argument of Counsel Begun Yesterday and Win Be Submitted to the
 Jury This Evening.

One of the witnesses in the Wood ruff case returned this afternoon, says the Arkansas Democrat of yes terday, having left Perryville this morning. He says the testimony closed yesterday and the argument of the counsel began. Prosecutor Pemberton opened for the prosecu- tion and Hon. J. D. Landon for the defense. Today Messrs. Jones, Mur- phy and Sellers will speak for the defense and Attorney General Kins- worthy will close for the State. Judge Lea limited the argument to 4:30 this evening, at which hour the case will be submitted to the Jury.
 A scene was created in the court room yesterday evening. Miss Mag gie Woodruff, daughter of the ex- Treasurer, was deeply moved, and sobbed continually and audibly When MT. Pemberton began speak ing he was disconcerted by her grief and as it did not abate, but grew more pronounced and violent, he asked Judge Lea if he could not have her desist. The judge courteously reprimanded her, when Miss Wood ruff burst forth into storm of sobs and told the court that he had no right to talk to her. She became frantic, it is said, and defied judge, jury and counsel, until she was removed from the room by her father and mother.

POLL TAX MUST BE PAID.
An Important Opinion by Attorney Gen.
 eraI KinswOrthy.

People must pay their poll tax as we'll as their property tax, and the sheriff of any county can force them to pay it. This is the important rul- ing made by Attorney-General Kins- worthy, as shown in the following: OFFICE OF GENERAL, |
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK. To Mr 0. k. MeDaniel, Prescott, Ark,
 DEAR SIR:-Yours concerning poll tax received. It Is just as much the duty of each person to pay his poll tax as it is to pay any other tax, and if he does not do it, it is the duty oi the sheriff to make him do it. This tax is not a privilege, but duty. Governor Clarke says he never gave such an opinion as expressed in your letter. If he did, it is not the law. Tell your sherff it is his duty to col lect the poll tax. Yours truly,
 D, B. KINsWoRTHY,
 Attorney General.

Lost In New York :,

At the Opera-house, next Thurs day, February 2S, the splendid aquatic spectacle, "Lost in New York, :" will be presented for the first time in this theatre. The play Is one of the cleverest of all the sensational plays, and is happily free from the blood and thunder and 'sclap trap'' that spoils many plays of this kind. The story is charming and full of heart interest and written in the best style of the well known Ameri- can dramatist, MT. Leonard Grover, who has written many successful plays. The special scenery, which, by the way, will be all used here, is said to be very realistic and beauti- ful. The river of real water, said to contain 60,000 gallons of flowing water, full rigged yacht, real ferries and genuine steamboat, are few of the mechanical effects produced.

Aln stating Friday that MT. Lewis Blass, of the firm of Gus Blass x Co.,, attributed the fact that the Great Red Store had not been a profitable enough investment to "mismanage- ment and lack of business sagacity, " the GRAPHIC made a mistake. Mr. Blass did not use these words, and they were mistakingly supplied by the the reporter In changing man. agers Messrs. Gus Blass X Co.,, sim ply desired to place in charge man who lived in Pine Bluff, was eXten- sively known, and had more intiu- ence and experience in Pine Bluff bus mess affairs. We gladly make the correction, as we do not care to mis- represent Mr. Blass or reflect upon the ability of the former manage mont

''Trilby."

Prof. Sheldon, in his lecture on aTrilbye in Memoria. Hal, St. Louis, the other day, among other things, said "The novel is full of touches that only an artist would have thought of such, for instance, as this bit : The sorrow that he could not feel sorry made him haggard. An other wonderful passage is the one where Little Billee' reads in Trilby's eyes her whole history and eharae- ter. This power of looking deeply into the eyes of another is only granted to those who are themselves deep. Commonplace people see the whole world in a commonplace way. At the end of the first part of the book the reader has but Little Billee's' testimony to prevent his thinking 'TrilbY' nothing more than a good-natured, unaffected girl of no particular depth. But in the second part Little Billee's' analysis is justified by the growing dignity and power of her character. The way 'Trilby' awakens to sense of the wrongfulness of her past life is admirably handled. Such develop
 ments take place through suddenly seeing ourselves in another's eyes. 'Trilby had posed for the figure for many years without a thought of wrong, but one day she sees Little Billee' at the door of the studio, and notes the expression of his face. A blush of shame covers her face, and with a realization of her wrong grows up the beginning of her self respect. These revelations of char aeter take place in other phases of human life also. In the business world we may have done wrong un- willingly, until suddenly (and it may come through woman's eyes) we see reflected our true selves. The striking features in Little Billee's' character is its masculinity. We see young men who have what may be called naive innocence There is an uncomfortable smile as we speak of them, for we know that their character has never been put the test, and that if it were to be so tested, the result would likely not be favorable. Little Billee's' in- nocence was not of this kind, and therein lies the secret of his strength. He had met the tests, conquered and thereby gained that self-rever- ence which makes him respected by all. Herein it seems to me lies the great moral worth of the book, and I hope that as you all read and re- read the book there will arise in that may have half died out of your own consciousness.
