The superintendent of the South
western Telephone Co., at Little
Rock and Hot Springs, because
competitors are entering the field
advise the people as follows; Sub
scribers to the proposed new tele-
phone company should see that
there is a clause IN their contract
protecting them in the future,
namely; that the proposed tele-
phone company will furnish tele-
phone service with as many sub
scribers and as cheap as any other
company. Do not sign a long term
contract at a fixed rate without
this protecting provision" A
change seems to have come over
the spirit of their dreams as to
having no competition, and charg-
ing high, exorbitant rates.

THE SECOND FASTEST.
The Time Was Within 2-5 of a Second of The Butterflies Record-The Other
 Events.

Sheepshead Bay Race Track, Aug. 24.- The second horses share was $5333 and his breeder received $2500. Marcus DaIy the owner of Silver II, got $2666, and the breeder of this colt, J. B. Hagin,' gets $100O. The time, Ill 2-5, is within two ffths of a second of the Butterflies rec ord for the race, and it is the second fastest Futurity ever run.
 The other events were fraught with in terest. Domino was beaten in a spring race by The Butterflies after a terrific struggle The long delay at the post and the heavy impost of 133 pounds proved too much for the black whirlwind. The Butterflies impost was but 109 pounds.
 Waltzer, at big odds, galloped at the head of his field throughout the third race. He went the six furlongs in 1:12 2-5 with ridiculous ease. This lowers the worlds record for the distance at the Chicago derby nearly a year ago in 1:121a. This was the best previous record and was made by Diggs.

How Missionaries Were Delivered From the

How Missionaries Were Delivered From the
 Wrath of the Mob.
 Toko, Aug. 10, via San Francisco, Aug. 24.-The story of the anti-missionary out rages in Kucheng is not totally black plague. There are some spots of light in the place. Miss Holt of the China Islandl mission describes how when the house in which she and two other ladies resided was attacked by the mob man with while engaged sharpening his weapon on a stone warned the rioters that the women were good folks and that he meant to defend them.
 The crowd fell back and one of the ladies, attended by a Chinese maid effected her escape to the Yamen, only to be refused admittance. But the Chinese attendant raised an outcry, Wailing that unless the officials gave them refuge they would die at the gates, and at length they gained entry. The officials, however, were too terrified to send Succor to the other two ladies. They also owed their safety to the man with the sword, who procured chairs for them and got them to Yamen. He appears to have remained incognito.
 Another missionary escaping from his burning home entered the house of Chinese doctor, who swathed him in bandages, covered his head with a Chi nese hood and in the guise of a mora bund Chinaman placed on him the shoes of the Coolies, and sent him to Yamen.
 Another missionary reached the out station, where his wife awaited him, by disgusting himself as an official en route to meet the incoming yiceroy.

PERRY MADE FEM APOLOGIZE.
The Commander of the Gunboat Castine Would
 Not Be Blufed by the French in Madagascar
~


 Washington, Aug. 24.-The failure of Commander Thomas Perry of the United States gunboat Castine to salute the French flag at Tamatave, Madagascar, was accentuated by a subsequent incl dent of a semi-sensational character, knowledge of which became public today in statement given to the press at the navy department The true story of the salute incident was given in a report received by the department some time ago. In the report Commander Perry says he did not salute the tri-color be- cause of the naval regulations, which do not require a salute to vessels of one country in the ports of another and Of our traety with Madagascar, by which the United States recognizes the Hovas government as controlling the entire ISL and. As there was no representative from the native government on shore at Tamatave he could not salute the Hovas authority and hence fired no salute what ever
 Commander Perry's report tells CT a misunderstanding between the French authorities on shore and of officers Of the Castine as to granting pratique, or formal permission to enter the port. When the first boat of the Castine landed the French military attempted to pre- vent the officers from approaching or speaking with MT. Wetter, the United States consul and his party on the ground that pratique had not been given. Commander Perry says, however, that pratique had been granted earlier in the day. The French officers were very much excited and ordered all the Ameri- cans back to their boat, one of them showing Paymaster Dent toward 1t and calling on the gendarmes to drive off the Americans as intruders. The excitement among the Frenchmen was intense, and what might have been serious trouble, according to Commander Perry, was averted only by the coolness and Judg- ment displayed by Ensign George k. Evans and Paymaster Dent of the cas- tine.
 Ample and full apologies to the officers of the Castine and the United states government was promptly demanded by Commander Perry and the French rep resentatives at Tamatave came aboard the gunboat the next day and made full and unreserved apologies for their mis- beha vior.
 Afterwards an apology satisfactory to Consul Wetter was offered and accepted by him. This closed the incident.
 The Castine was sent to Madagascar to inquire into the imprisonment Of Gx- Consul Waller That the French resent ed this is shown by the feeling displayed at Tamatave, and their conduct confirms the view held here that the French ofil- cials have done everything to hamper this government in it's endeavor to bring about a satisfactory adjustment Of Wal 1ers case

AT O'BRIEN'S.

Considerable interest is being invested in the production of the Irish play, "The Shamrock" which is to be presented in this city next Monday night, and which has had phenomenal success for the past three seasons in the larger cities. The cast is headed by the young aetor-au- thor, MT. Edward Hanford, the cele- brated Irish comedian, sweet singer and dancer assisted by Lindsey's comedians One naturally believes when they go to see an Irish play that his eye must meet a threadbare subject of eviction and the usual quota of Irish renegades, red coats, etc. But such is not the case with The Shamrock" The stage during the four acts is crowded with bright and happy scenes of Irish life, interspersed with pleasing songs and national dances with out the aid of the usual piper. Another novelty in the play is that there are no cliff scenes, no evictions; in fact, noth- ing used in the average Irish play.
 Mir. Hanford is clever song writer as well as an actor, and sings during the performance several of his own eompo- sitions, entitled "SaddleBa Sweet Little Rosebud" Pm Irish" Hanford's picture songs, and "The Shamrock great production is assured
 Down in Dixie" will be an engagement at OBriens Wednesday night It's ap- pearance here will be a most interesting event. No southern play has been more warmly received wherever seen. The famous pickaninny band will be heard here in the play the boys not only rem derng music, but also appearing as jolly plantation darkey boys and doing a very effective Zouave drill. Down in Dixie" is play with many qualifications. It is in turn tender romantic, exciting, laugh able. At all times it is picturesque. Southern life is very agreeably repre- sented in it. An absorbingly interesting story is told. It is love story, of course, but a highly eventful one, abounding with plots and perils, escapes and res cues. Of the many thrilling scenes, one of the most stirring, is that of the at tempted murder of the young naval lieutenant by the rascally overseer and the blackmailer. They knock him down from behind and place his senseless body in a big cotton compress; then set fire to the warehouse where the compress is, and start the compress working. The descending press is within an inch of him, when he is dragged forth to safety by the heroine of the play who has broken through a window from the office, in which she has been imprisoned. There are other incidents equally exciting. The love scenes are charming. The comedy of the piece is exceedingly droll. There are an old darkey and his wife, grum- bling old squire and other characters that are full of natural humor. The scenery is superb.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.
Two Thousand People Greeted Him as Ne
 Stepped From the Train

Baltomore. Aug. 24-Two thousand persons gathered at Camden station this afternoon to welcome home Cardinal Gib- bons after an absence oS sixteen weeks As his eminence stepped from the train spontaneous shouts of greeting went up from their throats and many of his close personal friends pressed around the dis tinguished churchman, congratulating him on his safe return to the city.
 James R. Wheeler, president of the Catholic club, addressed a few words of greeting to his eminence in which he well comed the highest respected and best loved citizen of the country back to his home and among his own people. His eminence responded, thanking the as- sembled multitude for the manifestations of good will, and after shaking the hands of a number of clergy and friends, the cardinal and Bishop Foley of Detroit en- tered carriage and were driven to the archbishophal residence, accompanied by a guard of honor, composed of 100 mem bers of the Catholic club.
 Tonight the cardinal will be rendered a public reception at the rooms of the Catholic club. It is expected that nearly all the clergy of the archdiocese and many prelates from neighboring cities will be present and personally tender to his emnence their congratulations.
