James \. Herne.

It happens too rarely that the theatre-goer is afforded an oppor- tunity of witnessing so good a play as Shore Acres. This beautiful drama of New England life which our ablest literary men have ideal ized, was the outcome of years of thought and labor, and not until MT. Herne had spent seven months of his life in daily intercourse with the characters he has drawn, did he think the play suitable for produc- tion. In Boston, where it ran for IA consecutive nights, it was edit orially commented upon by all the leading daily, The Boston Tran script, in a lengthy editorial, says: Its triumph with the public has much significance, and it may fairly enough be counted as the event of the dramatic year in America. A costly presentation of "Shore Acres is announced at the Opera house,

ArtCsIan Wells.

One of the first requisites necces- sary for manufacturies of all kinds is water, and plenty of it. For many factories the water used must be pure and free from mineral stains. To secure good water nearly every city in the land has resorted to the use of artesian wells. A GRAPHIC reporter today had a conversation with a prominent bus mess man in regard to manufactar- ing enterprises and the probability of large plants being located in Pine Bluff, when the latter said Our people are overlooking one very im- portant matter which they should at once do if they wish to secure the paper factory and other large plants of like nature. They should raise a fund to sink an artesian well. feel confident that an abundance oI pure water can be secured here al less depth than 1, ,000 feet When we can say we have the water, we can talk business with the capitalists who are seeking inves tments in manufacturing enterprises in this section. An artesian well can be put down for less than $2.50 per foot, and l, tor one, am ready to sub scribe to a fund to be used for such a purpose. l had a conversation with MT. J. B. York, President of the Bluff City Lumber Company, and his views are similar to my own. Heexpressed a willingness to contfi- bute $100 to such q fund. ;
 The gentleman is right. If we can convince the world that the pure water is here, and in abundance, we can get factories. Let an exper- iment with artes'an wells be made, and the sooner the better.

A GRAND EXPOSE.
THE SECRETS OF THE ANCIENT ORDER OF HERCULES MADE KNOWN
 TO THE WORLD.
One of the Most Laughable Farces Ever Put Upon Pine Bluff stage-The Initiated Candidate
 Little Sore this
 E orning.


 Last Evening the Pine Bluff Opera house was filled with an eager throng of people to witness theforth- coming exposure of the secret works of the Ancient Order of Hercules, a rite in Pytbianism peculiar to I'm perial Lodge No. 92, of this city, whose members decided to make it public to raise funds to pay for the fitting up of their new lodge-room, and a more amusing and Imaginable farce was never witnessed in Pine Bluff. Each and every officer of the Order of Hercules enacted their parts to perfection. The originality of the jokes, the ludicrous costumes and the tribulations through which the poor unfortunate candidate had to undergo before he became q mem- Der, kept the audience in roars of laughter from the time the curtain rose until it fell. The cast of charac- ters were as follows:
 II. I.s{i' H~.................W Walter Holden l.. o. George B. Moore J. A. c. K,................H. l. HoIderness G. A. NJ. E....................W D. Savage C. o. D.......................... Tom Green r. D. Q.............................J.A 4. R0ost A, M......... ....,............G NJ. Wheeler r. NJ. ...................... J. Moore k. A. T. S.. McSsrS. Saundprr and
 Morris. ............................. Candidate c....................E. w. Martin
 It may be inyidious to distinguish a few by special mention from num- Der who enacted their parts so well, yet the GRAPHIC reporter feels that extra praise is due to Mr. Walter Holden, as the H. I. G. H.; to Mr. Tom Green, as co. D., to Mr. ]. A. Roost, as P. D. O., and last, but not least, to Alessrs. Morris and Saun- ders, who enacted the parts of the Reliable and Trustworthy Sentincls. Mr. Wheeler made splendid Assid uous Marshal
 The candidate, Mir. Nray Martin, was truly at the mercy of the mem bers of the Order of Hercules, and he displayed great nerve and force of character in submitting to the ordeals through which he had to un- dergo to become Hercules He is the first candidate ever initiated into the mysteries of that order in our city, and he will doubt less be the ohly one, for since the ex- posture, it would be hard to find another possessing sufficient cour- age to take the degrees.
 The music furnished by the Cotton Belt orchestra was splendid, and greatly appreciated by the large aud fence. The receipts were over $500.

In no section of the country is there greater need for Liver Medicines than in the South, and this has encouraged interruptions persons to take advan- tage of peoples misery and offer them all sorts of stuff as a cure-all for Liver troubles. Their preparations are sold to the druggists at a low price. And the big profit to the druggist is the road by which they reach the public.

JOHN l.. COMING.

The opera house offers an especially at- tractive programme Monday night, when John L. Sullivan will present his new and original three-act romantic drama, written for him by Edmund E. Price of New York, entitled, IA True American. MT. Sullivan seems to have lost none of his popularity, as everywhere he has ap- peared the people vie with each other to prove their allegiance to the man who was idol for go many years. His tour so far has had somewhat the character of a tri- umphal procession, thereby proving how staunch the Americans are when they have once set their affections on a favorite. At the same time MT. Sullivan is doing all that is possible to keep the warm position he held in the regards of the public by winning place as an aclor. Not satisfied with merely relying on his great notoriety to attract, he has made strong bid for the respect and favor of his audiences by hay ing good play, strong company and a frst-class attraction. Add to this that MT. Sullivan is showing marked ability as an actor, surprising even his own friends and it will be easily understood that "A True American displays the standing . room only sign more often than some more pretentious shows.

CHILD SICKLY? Strength is Not Enough for Proper Growth. The Young Body Fails to Get V Well Nourished. Needs Richer Bone and Tissue
 Forming Food.
Body Cannot Grow Without
 Pure, Sturdy Blood,
Unequaied Value of Paine's
 Celery Compound.

From birth till past the age of 30 there is growth; some of the bones do not com- pletely knit till 35.
 All this time in addition there is the steady waste of the tissues that must be re- paired. The demand upon the vitality and upon the powers of assimilation is thus enormous during these years. Without plenty of rich, nourishing blood, growth must be defective and tardy. But when 1t courses through all the arteries in full, vigorous stream, growth goes on steadily and perfectly.
 What countless numbers of frail young- sters physicians see whose pitiably thin wrists and bloodless faces cry out for better nourishment. All this does not escape the vigilant insight of parents. In thousands of homes it is well known that the boys and girls are somehow badly nourished.
 The weak stomachs and organs of assi;nl- lation cannot extract the food for growing nerves and brain in sufficient quantities from the ordinary diet. A special nerve diet is what they need. Paine's celery compound is Prof. Edward B. Phelps great preparation for nourishing these lit- tie frames and making them grow into strong, active men and women. Dr. Phelps, upon whom colleges conferred their highest honors for his Invaluable in- vestigations in medicine, knew from ripe experience the exact needs of these little sufferers.
 A chorus of gratitude has gone up all over the country from mothers of children once weakly and pale, without promise of ever growing into robust men and women, who have outgrown weakness and lack of vitality by the use of Paine's celery conn pound, taken with the regularity that ph yr sicans adhere to when prescribing this wonderful nerve and blood restorative.
 It is valuable In all wasting diseases, in cleansing the blood of rheumatism, neur raigia, scrofula, and supplying new and healthy vital f1uid-its value can neither be weighed nor measured.
 AS the great modern nerve and brain strengthener and restorer Paine's celery compound d is pronounced invaluable by all progre ssive physicians. Give this grand invigo fair trial, and be convinced. DAILY SLEEPING CAR SERVICE BY
