NEW TELEPHONE EXCHANGE
It Will Re In Operation by the First Of
 January.

The GRAPHIC is authority for the statement that the Pine Bluff Tele- phone Company will be In operation by the first of January and that it's contracts with subscribers and our people will be carried out to the let ter. The work of construction on the new exchange will be begun in a few days. The poles have been shipped, and are now expected to arrive here at any time; in fact the first car loads should have reached here last night, but were probably delayed on route. These poles are of the best quality of cedar. The ex- change fixtures will be first-class in every detail, to enable the company to give it's patrons the very best pos sible service. The new exchange will begin it's existence with 225 snbscrib- CTS, and the GRAPHIC predicts that this number will be rapidly in- creased until every business house in the city will he supplied with one of this company's phones. The rates charged are so. low that no person can afford not to be subscriber. and the larger the number of patrons the more service the telephone is.
 The new company has met with unavoidable delays In the constrnc- ton of the plant, but now these ob- structions have been overcome, and in the course of next week force of men will be put to work putting up poles and the work will rapidly be pushed to completion.
 By the first of January over fifty phones will be in use and these will he increased just as fast as men backed hy money can put them up. Cheaper telephone service is what

 The first session closed with a charming Ethiopian ditty, "Go.

COLUMBIAN MINISTRIES.
Prominent Society Young Ladies and
 Gentlemen In Hlaok Faces.

Last night at the Opera-house the much-talked of Female Minstrels gave fine performance. The enter tainment was a great success and the audience was kept in roar of laughter by the flow of wit, the bright music and the merry dancing. The jokes were nearly all new and the local hits caught the house. The music was bright and catchy, and considering that the east, with few exceptions, was made mp with per sons who make no pretenses to musical ability, it was acceptable.
 The curtain rose upon seventeen of our young ladies who had endcav- ored to conceal their identity by a liberal use of burnt cork, an enlarge ment of the lips, powdered wigs and costumes whose brightness would be grand introductory overture gave an opportunity for the testers to dis play some of the marching, dancing and oscillation of tamborines and bones that caught the house.
 After this the eentertalnment settled down to the regular minstrel per formance in which all did well.
 Honey Moon song and dance by Miss Ell N. Terry, better known as Miss Nell McEwen, was done in her usual delightful style.

THE LAWS DELAY ooMPELs OUR PEOPLE TO DRINK uN. HEALTHY WATER.
  A Letter from the Cierk of the United States Court to the City Attorney Announcing the Delay of the Suit 10 Remove the Re- ceiver of the Wa
 ter Works.

Grin and endure 1t, seems to be the only recourse left the citizens of Pine Bluff in regard to the dirty, muddv, filthy and unhealthy water now forced upon them by the cor pOration known as the Pine Bluff Water < Light Company. The de- Hay of the courts are proverbial, but It does seem that where the health of the people in city the size of Pine Bluff IS in jeopardy, that the highest tribunal in the State to which they have appealed. would be more prompt to hear suit that would give them relief; but in this instance, at least, such is not the case, for again has the suit of the New York Security & Trust Company vs, Pine Bluff Water, Gas X Electric Light Company, on the hearing of the mo- ton to remove receiver of said de- fendent company, been postponed in the United States Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, and from now until the l4th of December there is no help for our long-suffer- ing people, and they must submit to the filthy stuff called water fur. nished them by the receiver of the Water & Light Company, and for wkeh said consumers are forced to pay exorbitant prices.
 The attorneys employed by the city in this suit have done all in their power to get the court to give this suit hearing and the case was finally set for trial on November 30. Yesterday Mcssrs. Austin < Taylo, attorneys for the city, received the following g letter from the Clerk of the Supreme Gonrt, which is seIfexplan- atory;

tie. Though slavery exists in NADIA J..
gascar only in name, the fruits OF the
labor of these people bring in good
returns. In addition to the service
the officers are compelled to render
their country, they are also expected,
and sometimes forced, to contribute "a
portion of their income TO the Gov
ernment exchequer. For instance,
should the Government need money
with which to purchase arms for the
soldiers, a special tax is levied, and
each one is made to pay two cents per
head for each slave owned and the
same on each head of cattle. Some
times it happens that on this basis one
person will pay ON slaves alone nearly
e400. The slaves are captives from
rebellious tribes. They are bought
and sold. but not abused.
While the women are not given a
voice in the affairs of State, excepting,
of course, the Queen, yet they are ex-
tremely patriotic and loyal in their
support of their fatherland. When
the last war with France came upon
them and they has to buy arms, one
woman responded to the call for
money with a contribution of SO, 900.
This time she had given $4,000 for
the cause. Soldiers in the army do
not receive any pay beyond the
amount necessary to procure their

Consider tI,e Thumb.

A certain class of philosophers assert
that character may be determined by
the thumbs shape. A vain person is
said to fold the thumb under IL it is
too long for beauty. A grasping per-
son has long thumb that turns back
ward like n hook. A good natured
person has n short thumb. The artists
hand is long, delicate one, and the
thumb in keeping. An artisans is
short, thick, and stumpy, usually with
broken nails, 80 that to some extent
the thumb is an index to occupation.
At present il is the only one of the
fingers exempt from ring wearing, ex-
cept by eccentric actors, but for many
centuries it was decorated in this mat
ter. Kings we're especially given to
wearing "thumb rings" and they
we're still in use at the time of Henry
IV. both for ornament and as "sign
manual" The setting was usually q
jewel cut in some distinctive design,
like family crest, from which is de-
rived the word "seal ring"
There is an old superstition con-
cerning a woman's thumb. III in clos
ing the hand the thumb folds out of
the fingers she will rule her husband.
II under, she will be ruled by him. 1t
is limited that majority of them fold
out.
In grasping, the thun b is opposed
to four fingers and exerts just four
times as much strength. II you doubt

of its muscles will show that they are
the largest and strongest in the hand.

other fingers. Tie it up in rag and
you will be convinced. = Chicago
