CURRENT COMMENT.
The EIbe Disaster.

The loss of the Elbe Is one of those
things that unfortunately will happen
events unpreventable by human ingenuity
in its present stage of development.--Chi-
cago Post.
Such tragedy brings home the uncer-
tainty of life to the most needless. May
in accordance with our knowledge.-Cou-
rier-Journal.
Out of all that company these fifteen
seamen who saved themselves managed
to rescue only one girl. All the other
women and children were left to PERISH
New York World.
The collision at sea has come to be rec
ognized as the one accident against which
neither seamanship nor water-tight COM
partments nor any other marine equip
ment can afford entire protection.-Chi-
cago Record.
The statements of the rescued passen-
gers of the Elbe leave no room for doubt
that the officers of the vessel-at least
the surviving ones-acted in a cowardly,
brutal and selfish manner.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
1t is not strange that Emperor William
should be indignant and chagrined that a
German crew should have saved only one
woman in shipwreck when they man
aged to save so many of themselves. A
court must deal unfiinchingly with the
Elbe crew.-Chicago Herald.
Voyages by sea have been rendered re-
markably safe within recent years. Scores
upon scores of steamships cross the At.
lantic weekly, yet there is seldom an acci-
dent or loss of life. The loss of life is
made impressive chiefly because it was
concentrated.-Ph hiladelphia Ledger.
Below Zero.
Not a case of sunstroke was reported
yesterday. Toledo Blade.
The mean temperature just now is ex-
ceedingly mean.-Burlington Hawkeye.
For this weather we have nothing but
words of censure.-New York Advertiser.
The coal man is having a long inning,
and is running up big score.-Milwaukee
Wisconsin.
The man who thought the backbone of
winter was broken was little off. 1t was
only the wishbone.-Madison Journal.
please stand up and be told that another
blizzard is coming. Plaindeal-
er.
In our mild and genial winter climate
the temperature of the last few weeks
has been somewhat trying.-Minneapolis
Journal.
The ''oldest inhabitant" is somewhat
undecided about the time when he expert
enced cold wave as severe as the pres
ent one.-Buffalo News.
The Ice men are congratulating them
| selves that they got in their crop before
the ice froze to the bottom of the river
Keokuk Gate City.
Explorers failed TO get nearer the North
Pole last year, and all but one are back
home, realizing that everything comes to
him who waits.-St. Louis Globe.

AN UNFINISHED BRACELET.
why Commodore Tyrrell Wears Pecul-
lar India Ink Decoration.

Old Commodore Tyrrell was sitting with
some friends one day last summer when
the heat impelled him to roll up his shirt
sleeves. As he did so the eye OF reporter
who was sitting by him fell upon an india
ink decoration upon his right wrist.
"Let me see that, commodore" he said.
The old sea dog extended his right arm
across the table for inspection. The deco
ration was shield and an eagle, and one
side was something that looked like an
unfinished wreath.
"Why didn't the artist finish it2" the
commodore was asked.
"Ah. that's a story OF the awfulness OF
war, my boy, ;" said he as he grew thought
full and stopped the joking that he had
been indulging in. 1T was when was a
stripping of boy in the navy that that
was done Like all boys, thought was
not full fledged tar until l had myself
tattoued. and one of my mates started &c
make bracelet around my wrist. That
was the day before the battle of Mobile
Bay. He did as much as you see there and
WAS going TO finish it next day. Next day
we went into action, and thought bel
had broke loose. Well, sir, the first sho
that came across our deck struck my mate
right amidships, and the poor fellow never
knew what finished him.
81 never would let anybody else finish
IL, but maybe when so to Davy Jones
locker I'll meet Dick and get him to fnisi
that bracelet.
Then the commodore ordered grog 70
all hands to conceal his emotion. -Cincin
natl Tribune.

where Was the Garden OF EdenY

Arguments that have seemed sound to
their scientific projectors have been ad-
vanced to prove that the human race start
ed on the brink of the Euphrates, In the
heart of central Asia, in Lemuria, a con-
tinent supposed TO be at present at the bot
tom of the northern part of the Indian
ocean; in Greenland, in central Africa,
in Central America In Ceylon and In the
tabled continent Of Atlantis, which is con-
jectured to have emerged from the Allan
tic on the line Of the Canary islands and
the Azores, and from which, If IL ever
existed, both the eastern and the western
hemispheres might have drawn their pop
ulation. Certainly here is choice enough,
writes Edward s. Martin in The Ladies'
Home Journal.
The scientific searcher after paradise Is
embarrassed by the richness OF his field
and hesitates TO leave the Euphrates' bank
and become wanderer over all the earth.
But at least he may stick to Asia II he
will One of the most favored cradles OF
the human race" Is the vast plateau OF
Pamir, north Of the Himalayas In central
Asia Anthropologists find deep signif-
canoe in the fact that in that region the
fundamental types OF all the races OF man

RESULTS OF CURIOSITY
SOM. stories Of lie Tragic Ending - seem
Occasionally.

Strange stories Of the tragic results Of
curiosity are reported from time to time,
reminding us of the romance OF George
Lilo. entitled Fatal Curiosity" IL APP
pears that young Wilmot, supposed TO
have persisted at sea, returns 70 England,
and, In disguise, visits his parents, with
whom he deposits casket. but his moth
or, out of curiosity, opens the casket, and,
finding that it contains jewels, she and
her husband resolve To murder the owner.
Scarcely have they committed the fatal
deed when they discover that 1t is their
own son whom they have killed.
A Russian folk tale gives an amusing
account OF certain prince who, after
travelling a very long distance, Is at last
welcomed by princess as her destined
husband. She warns him not to ascend
the central staircase of her palace But
his curiosity tempts him 20 do so, and TO
his horror he finds three chambers, in each
of which he finds the lifeless body of fair
maiden. On gazing at these he recognizes
his first love and learns for the first time
her cruel and untimely fate
Similarly, a Spanish story, known un-
der the title OF 1.-THE Black Hand" in
forms us how a poor man when endeavor-
ing 10 uprOob iarBo O"pDs-e' ihNuiiou
giants wrath, and. In order to save his
own life, he was compelled TO bring the
| eldest of his three daughters to be the
giants wife. The giant takes her down
| into his underground palace, puts a ring
on her finger, but forbids her to enter a
certain room. Curiosity makes her dis
obey, and, as in the preceding tale, she
was Mortified on finding several dead
bodies.
In the same way, in Grimm's tale Of
Pitchers bird, the heroine finds in room
which she is not to enter the bodies of hel
sisters hacked to pieces, and among many
other tales of like nature may be men
toned several very curious Gaelic ones IL

the unexpected results arising from fata
inquisitiveness. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

 Roads of This Country.

As early as 1779 the State of Vir. ginia appointed commission to build road over the Cumberland mountains and five years after Kentucky became State she passed her first road laws.
 The perfection of steam locomO- tive aud the resultant advance ment of railroad interests rather interierred with. public interest in roads until the investigation by Congress few years go into the manner in which they were man. aged.
 Massachusetts spends annually $66 mile on roads outside of cities, New Jerseya$43 and New York $30. the expenditures in other States be- ing much less.
 The question of broad ties is u vexed one. In England taxes are paid on narrow-wheeled vehicles in order to encourage the use of broad ties, but it has never been very effec- tive.
 The increased value that good roads would bring to farmers estate would more than compensate him, in the eye of satisticians.

ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS.
Then Ringing Bros., Great Shows win fse
 scen in All Their Glory.

The plcasurable anticipation
 aroused by the contemplated visit of the Ringling Bros.' Worlds Greatest Shows to this city is about to be re- alized, for the much-looked-for ad- vent of this famous aggregation in Pine Bluff occurs next Friday, Oc~ tcber II. No exhibition that has ever visited this vicinity hasever been so comprehensive in its method ofad4 vertiaing or has ever succeeded in nt- tracting so much attention by it's pictorial wall announcements. The finest Autograph printing ever seen in this city has been scattered with profuse liberality such as no circus management, not backed by stupen- dous capital and reinforced by great amusement enterprise, could afford to display. It is gratifying to learn through the press of other cities, that these marvellous speci- mems of printers art do not be- gin to tell the story of the wonders of this remarkable show, which com pines among It's features such world famous people as the Da Comas. tho famous aerialists; the Eddy family, celebrated English acrobats, the Landauer troupe of nine flexible models; Mike Rooney, Orrin Hollis, and nearly a dozen other high-class somersault riders; Mile Elpna, Julia Lowande and Marian Lcslte, the greatest trio of female riders in the world; the Ty-Bells. in their marvel ous breakaway ladder act; Maynard & La Mothe, aerial bar performers. Akimoto's troupe of royal Japanese equilibrists; Mons. Natalie and hie comical pig circus, and many other arenic novelties.
 The performance is given in threo rings and upon two elevated stages. and the hippodrome races which ara made vastly exciting by the proffer of cash prizes to all winners, are run in the largest track ever constructed under canvas. The procession which fnaugurates circus day will start promptly at 10 o'clock and pass over the principal down town streets. It IS the largest, finest and most resplendent ever given by circus. There are ten kinds of music, including a golden steam calliope and great chime of silver bells. It will be worth coming many miles to see.
