UNDER FALSE C0L0RS.
A Drummer that Merits the Punishment
 He Received


 Monday a drummer arrived in Pine Bluff and entered the Trulock Hotel and registered as I. Price. Sbortely afterward he met friend who introduced him to an aequaint- tanee as MT. H. T. Kaufman. A gentleman was standing near when he registered his name as Price. and also heard him introduced as Kauf- man. He inquired the reason for his travelling under false colors, of the gentleman that introduced him by the name of Kaufman, and was informed that Kaufman had entered the city on health certificate made out to l. Price. The matter reached the ears of Chief of Police A. E. Peterson, and he at once sought out Mir. Kaufman and ar rested him on the charge of violat- ing the quarantine laws. He car ried his prisoner defore the police court when he was fined D, and the Chief was ordered to see that he was kept 8 prisoner until the arrival of the first train and then sent out of the city. II. T. Kaufman, the man who met the above merited punish ment, is New York jewelry drum mer, and it is safe to say that if he ever returns to our city he will not come under an assumed name to prevent paying $l for a health certi- ficate. The watchfulness of Chief Peterson deserves praise.

STRANGE FATALITIES.
IA Family of Seven Killed in Peculiar
 Manner.

LONDON, March 26.-Press advices .bv steamer, from South Africa, con- tain story of an extraordinary series of fatalities that occurred near Johannesburg, and whereby a prominent resident lost his entire family in the space of a few minutes. Three of his children, aged respect lively, 8, 10 and F years, left the family farm house to go to their father, who was in field about a .half-mile distant. On the way, each .of the three put their right-hand in 4,s crevice of a rock for the purpose 'of fsearching for birds eggs. The crevice, however, happened to have been taken possession of by deadly snake, and each of the children was bitten before it could withdraw it's hand. Two died almost immediately while the third managed to crawl back to the house and raise an alarm. The mother, frantic with grief, mounted a horse with view of going for help. She placed the child in front of her, but forgot to securely fasten it, and she had hardly gotten out of the yard, when ;+ fall ova,, +o tho prollnd suStainino "a fracture of the skull, which caused instant death. The mother re-en- tered the house with the body only to find that within few moments her fourth and youngest child had .beep drowned by falling into cis- tern. The mother is now down with brain fever, and of the original fam lily of six there is only the father to
 tell the remarkable story.

MORRISON PLAYS THE DEVIL.
HIS RENDITION OF MEPAlsTo SEEN
 BYA LARGE AUDIENCE.
Faust" win Be Presented Again Tonight.
 Responsive to Public Demand.

Little Rock Gazette Tuesday March 26
 Quite large and enthusiastic audience assembled at the Capital Theater last night and witnessed the production of Faust, with Mr. Lewis Morrison in his familiar role of Mephisto. A very strong cast and superb stage setting charae- terized the production Mir. Mor- rison is an actor of such intelligence and experience that he realizes the importance of adding scenic splendor to histrionic merit.
 Morrison's presentation of the prince of evil responds to every exacting demand of the difficult role. His lines, dreadful with the DOT trayal of human folly, are given added force and effect by the capa- ble manner of their emuniciation. Goethe's immortal creation is by no means new to playgoers, but as inter- preted last night it is a production of which the public can never tire.
 It is well known that Mr. Morrison is a star who does not believe in sur rounding himself by amateurs. There is not a drone in his company and the work of each member is oi excellent strength. Mr Edward Ellsner, as Faust, is particulary strong and vigorous, speaking his lines with charming modulation Miss Florence Roberts, who plays Marguerite, makes an attractive pic ture and gives to the role charm and grace quite irresistible. Tht Martha of Mrs. Nelson Kneass ant the Valentine of Mr. Porter J. White were highly acceptable portrayals.
 Faust will be presented again tonight, responsive to a desire of the public. Another large audiennce will greet the star and his company beyond a doubt.

The Rival Mothers,

This story is beyond doubt original
to Japan in its present form, but it
bears a remarkable resemblance to
another celebrated judgment given
more than two thousand years ago on
the other side of the world. About q
century and half ago woman who
was servant in the house of daimyo
had little girl born to her. But it was
inconvenient for her to have the child
with her in the daimyo's mansion, aud
80 she put the little one out to nurse
with woman in the neighboring vii
telligent, and the foster mother, who
was heartless woman, thought she
saw an opportunity to earn money
through the girls services, and de-
termined to keep her. Accordingly,
when the mothers term of service ex-
pired, and she came to get back her
child, the foster-mother treated her
claim as false, said the child was her
own, and utterly refused to give her up.
So at last they came before Okla, the
town magistrate of Yedo, who, after
some thought, hit upon novel plan of
deciding. He placed the child between
the two mothers, had each one take an
arm OF the child, and then ordered
them to PULL He could then tell, he
said, which one deserved to have the
child. The foster-mother, thinking
only of winning, pulled with all her
might; but the true mother, full of her
affection for her child, couldn't bear to
infiict on it such brutal pain; and she
let go as soon as she felt the other
woman pulling. The child is minel"
exclaimed the foster-mother, triumph
antly. "Not sol" said Okla, sternly;
"you are pretender; this other is the
true mother" Then the false mother
confessed her deception, and begged
for pardon. The people, when they
heard of the judgment, were full of adj
miration for the penetration and sa-
gacity of their great magistrate. -Har-

Tree Planting in France,

The French thoroughly appreciate the
advantages to be derived from systematic
tree planting. Tracts of sand have been
covered with pine forests, and the word
lande, borrowed, as it is thought, from
the German is losing it's meaning of
'waste. Till century ago a large
portion Of the forest of Fontainebleau
consisted of bare sand hills, but the
planting of pines was begun. A variety
capable of standing the severest win
tiers was evidently found, and millions
Of trees now diffuse healthy and agree
able odors, besides furnishing timber
for fuel.
The decomposed fir needles, more
over, gradually form crust of vegeta-
BILE mold, permitting the growth of trees
and shrubs less able than the pine to
live on air. The department of the
Landes, once a barren region, with sand
so loose that people had to walk on
stills, is covered with pines, and the
problem of draining the subsoil has been
solved, as described in Edmond About's
story of "Maitre Pierre.
The losses by fire and anxiety to pro-
duce something more remunerative than
pine are now, however, inducing
schemes of artificial fertilization. In
many French watering places dunes
have been transformed into woods, thus
holding out to seaside visitors the at
traction of agreeable shade and change
from monotonous beach. Shifting sands
have been prevented from extending in
land. In some cases dunes have been &C.
quired by companies, which, after plant
ing them, have cut them up into build
ing lots and have seen them dotted with
villas
Elsewhere municipalities have taken
up the matter, and in large operations
the district or the department has pro-
vided the funds. London Times.

An Echo of the Battle of Pea Ridge.

William Jones, an old and well-known
citizen of Delano, Ark, had rather
exciting adventure on the morning of
December 4, 1894. He, with his son,
William, had been making a tour Of
five or six counties east of this in a
two-horse wagon, and on their return
they camped for the night on Pea
Ridge battlefield. On arising in the
morning they made big log fire and
were waiting for their breakfast when a
tremendous explosion took place. A
chunk of wood struck the old gentle
man on the head, knocking him down,
while at the same instant a larger stick
from the campfire struck the younger
man on the shoulders. Daylight re-
vealed a hole six or eight inches deep,
where ten or twelve pound parrot
shell had been reposing underground
ever since the battle fought March Z
and 8, 1862, nearly thirty-three years
ago. With the exception of dent in
the tire of the wagon and broken
felloe, no further damage was done
and, after catching the horse that had
run away, the old gentleman gathered
up few pieces of the shell for me.

Honor TO COlOred Men.

There is movement on foot in
Rochester, n. Y, for the erection of a
monument to the colored soldiers of the
state, who, as Fred Douglas remarks
thought with halter about their necks."
The bravery of the negro troops in the
civil war has received no adequate trib
ute, and the project of putting up a
monument in Rochester is one worthy
of support. That city is peculiarly APP
propriate place for its erection, since
there for many years dwelt Frederick
Douglas, so long the unquestioned
leader of his people, and there some OF
his best work was done. The project
has been taken up by prominent citi-
zens, and ex-Congressman Greenleaf,
100 Court street, Rochester, has been
appointed treasurer, and will receive
subscriptions to the fund. - Pioneer

the difficulties that beset his onerous

the ever increasing energy of its wicked
enemies, % what he called "the modern

teaches us that it has always triumpheo

He also told me that the worldly inter

their worldly goods in common, one
brother being director of the Banca Ro-

care of their vast possessions i'll the Pom
