TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
Trouble Over the Plumbing of the
Government Building.

Yesterday President Beatty sent a
letter to Contractor Carroll saying
that it had been brought to his atten-
tion that plumbing was being done at
the government building contrary to
the rules of the board of public works
and the city ordinances, and asking
that it be discontinued. Capt. Beatty
also notified personally the man who
was at work on the plumbing to cease
work. This man reported to Contrac-
tor CAROLS brother, who is in charge
of the work on the building, and was
told to 60 on with the work and that
he would be protected.
The trouble arises over the fact
that the plumbing contract was given
to Winona man named Green, who
has not taken out the license fee OF
500 required of plumbers in this city.
Mr.. Carroll was seen by FREE
PRESS reporter this afternoon and
said: "Before letting the plumbing

plumbers and gave them an opportun-
ity to bid on the work, which they
said they did not care to do. In fact,
it is class of work that they could
not do satisfactorily for us. Then we
awarded the contract to Mr.. Green,
who is doing a good job. The city
cannot come in on this government
ground and make him take out Ii
cense or interfere with his work.
When the plumbing gets to the street
line, then the city can take hand,
perhaps, but not before. This land
belongs to Uncle Sam, and if neces-
sary | will station armed guards at
the gates to protect the plumber. If
the city wants to send an inspector to
examine the work it can do so, and
if the plumbing is not satisfactory
we will have it changed to comply
with anything required by the city
ordinances. l told the plumber to go
on with his work, and he is now at it
in the basement"
President Beatty was seen, and
said: 81 was about to request that a
police officer be sent to stop the
plumber from working against my
notification, when Mayor Weaver in
formed me that Mr.. Green would ar
rive this afternoon. After moments
consideration l decided to await his
arrival and first have a consultation
with him. If he refuses to take out
a license and persists in going On with
the work, cannot say now what will
happen"
Engineer Haynes said: 'Mr
Green's specifications requires that he
shall comply with all city ordinances
and rules in regard to the plumbing.
We can without doubt enforce these
rules, even on the government prop.

Stephen Crane is a melancholy ap-

some persons, amsng them Mr.. Crane

Our little baby of two months was badly
afflicted with Eczema. 1t began when she
was three weeks old, and in spite OF all our
skill and that of two good physicians, she
continued to grow worse. Her head, arms
neck, and limbs, and, in fact, nearly every
Joint in her body, were raw and bleeding Wnen
we concluded to try CUTIcURA REMEDIES.
The child being so small and delicate, we
began with CUTICURA (ointment), and CUTI-
cURA SOAP, according to directions, and after
the first application are could see change.
When we had used the remedies one week
size was very much better, some of the sores
had healed entirely and had ceased to spread.
After using them for less than month, the
child was free from scales and blem;shes, and
today has as lovely skin and HAIR as any
child. She was shown at the Grange falr

 Miss Corinne Meyer, supported by strong east of amateurs, presented lively comedy at the Bluff City Club last evening. "An Arabian Night" is play of some merit, full ofsituationsslmilar to those found in "J Joseph" and pieces of that character.
 Arthur Hummingtop, during the prolonged absence orhis wife, adopts the plan of Haroun al Rachid, and disguised takes n ramble In the park. There he meets Rosa Columbia, the 'Gutta Percha Girl'' from the Aqua rum. She learns his real name and address from Handkerchief which falls into her possession. Mrs. Gill; brand, Hnmmingtop's Mother-in- law, having marked his handker- chief after that fashion as n precau- tionary measure. The next day Rosa calls upon Arthur, and an- nounces her intention of staying. Mrs. Gillibrand enters and the Gutta Percha Girl is introduced us Miss Maitland, a niece of Arthur's, long expected from New York. The gen uine Miss Maitland then arrives and matters get more complicated, Hum- mingtop tells the manly, plain, pEe- posterous. truth and Joshua, Mrs. Gillibrand's half-witted son, Mar rosa.
 Miss Meyer, who is q favorite here. impersOnated the circus girl with her usual force and attention to detail. She made a great deal out of a part that Is almost without merit, and that Is saying much. The character, as portrayed, was pleasing and gave satisfaction, but that fact Is due to Miss Meyers ability as an actress and not to the opportunities offered.
 Mir. Graham, as Arthur Running top, the distressed husband, pleased his audience and gained another hold upon the theater goers of Pine Bluff.
 Great praise is due Miss Bessie AL theimer for her work as Mrs. Gill; brand. Her acting was clever and her conception was logical, refined and artistic. She stepped at once into prominence among our anna turs. The other members of the cast were competent in their respect i've roles.
