From the New York Herald.

Women who find linen collars chafe and
irritate the skin of their necks are now
wearing with the Norfolk jackets and open
cellars of their cloth costumes the white
pique stocks. These stocks are nothing
mere nor less than an extra long four-in-
hand, which is put twice around the neck
before being tied. There is little knack in
tying them, which at first is difficult, but
when conquered gives delightful results and
is vastly more comfortable than a stiff,
high collar and tie. White ties are the best
for this style, as the white against the neck
IS more becoming than the dark colors.
OF course, these ties are not to he worn
more than once, but they are so well made
they can be Numbered without the slightest
difficulty: they need not be starched il
starch is irritating to the skin, as pique or
duck has so much stiffness in itself that
any more is quite unnecessary.

the degradation of the horse by the bicycle.
A man in Dallas owns horse and also a
bicycle and the bicycle is the latest love.
For it he has neglected his horse until the
latter has grown fat and lazy for want of

A DESPERATE NEGRO.
He Resists Arrests and the Officers Were
 Forced to Shoot Him.

Last night John Black, norious negro of this city, was shot by Con stable c. M. Philpot and Policeman o. N. Cleveland. The officers were after Black with a warrant charging him with burglary. They went to his house in the rear of the Trulock residence and found him. Black pulled A. calibre Smith & Wesson. The officers told him to drop the pis- tol. He yaid he would do so, but in stead of complying, he cooked and raised the gun, when both Messrs. Philpot and Cleveland fired, and Black fell to the ground hit by two balls. The shot fired by the Con- stable struck him in the left shoul- der and ran around the bone and came out at the back. This wound is not considered dangerous. The one fired by MT. Cleveland may prove more serious. This shot hit Black in the right shoulder and ranged down. Last night and this morning the wounded man was spit ting blood, which is an indication that he is badly wounded.
 Black is hard character, and has heen in many serapes. About two years ago he got into a row with another negro and killed him with 8 knife. He does not blame the off cers for shooting him, saying that it was due to his own foolishness that they did so.

The snortlng Leagne of America.

CLEVELAND, O., April 9,-Repre- sentative turfmen from all parts of the country assemble here today for the purpose of bringing into exist ence an organization which will probably be known as the Sporting League of America. It is probable the most important convention of turfmen tLat has ever been held in this country. The participants in cluding presidents of National asso- citations, delegates from over twenty driving park associations, breeders. owners and representatives of az ricultural societies and horse-show associations. The call for the gath ering originated with the Cleveland Driving Park Association, and its object is explicitly outlined in an ad- dress signed by large number of prominent turfmen. In this they say: We meet for the purpose of organ izing league, to protect our manly sports, pastimes and recreations of our people from hostile legislation and keep them on so high 8 plan that just criticism of an adverse character will be impossible. We recognize the fact that there are abuses to correct and that an or ganization composed of the friends and active participants in these rec reations and the legitimate busi- ness incident to them will be power ful to accomplish the corrections, and at the same time stand as a stone wall against the unjust as- saults of those who have other in terests or pleasures of an overween- ing desire to meddle with the con- duct of their neighbors. We trust that every community feeling a pride in the history and honorable character of our pastimes will coop crate for the establishment an main tainance of healthy regulations con sistent with personal liberty and the law of the land. With such an organization, having it's friends on guard everywhere, we will have less to apprehend in future from the periodical crusades that have been so unjust to us in the past.

 ment to Meet Their
 Approval.

GENTLEMEN OF THE COCNCIL:-In assuming the office of Mayor l take this opportunity 10 thank the eiti- zens of Pine Bluff for their hearty support in this election. Heel proud of the honor conferred upon Ee, and shall do all in my power to merit their hearty approval in my official capacity.
 I will not ask the citizens of Pine Bluff to judge of my administration by promises made at the beginning of my term. Promises and pledges are sometimes broken; but would rsther ask the people to wait and watch, and say later whether law and order prevails; and, also, wheth- the laws are enforced to the best and impartial interests of all the people,.
 am unable at the moment to out line any policy.
 With the gentleman composing this Council 1 feel satisfied, no matter what emergencies confront us, we will be able to meet them in busi- ness like manner for the best inter- ests of tho city.
 It is essential for the welfare of any community that the Mayor and Council act tremendously, therefore, let us at at all times put aside per sonal feeling and let Ourdclberations point to the common good of all,
 1 trust that the proper committees will be able to made d successful settlement with the Water x Light Company, and push to completion the work so able begun by our pred ecessors.
 Our streets at present are in d very bad condition, and very near unfit to travel upon.
 I would suggest that immediate steps be taken to temporarily fix same and in time make such permanent street improvements as are worth the second city in Arkansas.
 The words of kindness and encour- agement, just made use of by our worthy retiring Mayor with refer enee to myself, does not pass me, 1 beg to assure him, Hnnoticed, but deeply touches and rekindles that friendship which has hitherto existed between us, and in return for these kindly expressions tender my thanks and humbly trust that the fu- ture may disclose on my part, noth- ing that will cause a single regret or heartache to my honorable friend, Mr. Bell.
 I may be permitted to say just here that in the surrendering back to the people of this city the Mayoralty which was placed in his keeping two years ago tonight, that our citizens lose the services of an honorable and faithful public servant.
 There cannot be found in the city one man who can point to an official act of his that could even be insinu- ated as discredit to his good name. His administration has given satis- faction and pleased our people,
 Now, let us hope as he again takes his stand in column with the people that prosperity, good health and happiness may be his.

He Posed as Christian Preacher.


 Hicks, in Fordyce, is another chap ter in the career of this remarkable scoundrel. A well-known and per fectly trustworthy gentleman of this city, who lived in Fordyee at the time of the occurrence, relates that about eighteen months ago, J. W. Hicks, now posing as an ex-Priest, came to Fordyce as a Christian (Campbel- ite).preacher. He delivered two lec- lures there, in which he indulged in the most violent and filthy abuse of other Christian churches. The Bap- tist and Methodist churches were scored in his highest style, while the Catholic church came i'll for a double share of venom and islander. One evening he insuIted, in a way that need not be mentioned, one of the most respectable young ladies of the town. A number of young men waited on him immediately and told him to leave the place, and he left. 1t cannot be that any respectable man of Pine Bluff, no matter to what or ganization they may belong, can be so lost to deceney as to screen character of this kind They should rather throw down their fences and unite with the best element of our city in putting down such a fellow and sending him where he cannot injure the morality of the people.

Commercial Fertilizers.

The New Jersey station believes that
it pays to use fertilizers even under the
existing unfavorable conditions of farm
ing. The main conditions are, however,
economy in their purchase and rational
use both of natural and artificial sup
plies
The expectation of plant food, par
ticularly in general farming where stock
is kept, may be reduced by a judicious
exchange of grain and hay for concen-
trated feeds, rich in the fertilizing con-
stituents, coupled with careful saving
and intelligent application of the ma
nure made.
Sixty per cent Of the price of the aver
age fertilizer is now paid for nitrogen.
The necessity for purchased nitrogen,
particularly in general farming and
fruit growing, may be greatly decreased
by sowing larger areas of leguminous
crops, which gather nitrogen from the
air. Crimson clover, which does not in
terfere with regular rotations, and which
may be sown under wide variety OF
conditions, is valuable crop for this
purpose.
