A HUNTINGTON COLONY.
Scheme to Populate Northern California
 yith Poor Irarnlers.


 4 dispatch from San Francisco says that Collis P Huntington is interested in big scheme of colonization on 169, GOO acres of rich land in northern Cali fornia Austin Corbin, it will be re- membered, recently brought over q ship load of Italians for settlement on his plantation in Arkansas. Mir Hunting ton, it is said, will want American cit izens for his colony
 Tho land is now practically untitled, as less than 800 people are on 1t. .f'iie plan is to cut it up into farms of 20 and 40 acres each, one farm for each colo nist
 Two main features of the plan--the erection of houses and the distribution of any surplus derived from the sales of the property among the purchasers of the first 10, GOO acres-were, it is said, particularly insisted upon by Mir. Hunt ington. The idea is not to make money for the promoters, but to get settlers for the sparsely inhabited regions of north ern California It is believed that hun dreds of poor farmers eking out q scanty existence on unproductiye and oyerworked New England farms will be glad to start life anew in this country,

A HOOP FACTORY.
A Detroit Capitalist Here With A View Of Establishing a Factory in Pine
 Bluff.

Yesterday Mir. J. C. Ballew, Il wealthy citizen of Detroit, Michigan, paid Pine Bluff business visit. His object in coming here was to select q IGcation for q hoop factory, in which business he is largely in- terested. Mr. Ballew just went to Tennesse, where he Is interested in n factory and from there he came to Pine Bluff. Last night at the Arlington Hotel Mir. Ballew ex pressed himself as being greatly pleased with what he had seen of Jefferson County and believes this city to be just the site for such an enterprise. He affirmed that the railroad freight rates to be had here were cheaper than those his factory in Tennessee has so far been able to secure, and that the timber had here to be used in making hoops was more plentiful and cheaper than he had expected to find it.
 Last night Mir. Ballew left for Arkansas County, but he will return in a few days to confer with our business men concerning the estab- fishing of factory in Pine Bluff.

Chorus of Statesmen.

We came from sylvan triumphs Into flames perplexing ways. Our hair is full of laurel leaves, Our scraphooks full of praise. We were summoned from our plowsharea To conduct this hemisphere, And we know just what we re doing If we do look queer. The great men of all nations Have met personal abuse. You may do your best to scare us, But it isn't any use, And when history calls "next conner" We.are what she means, it's clear. It's new deal, and we're in it II we do look queer.

A CURIOUS FISH
On Exhibition at the Jefferson County
 Exposition Building.

At the County Exposition build inc can be seen curious fish. It is about one foot in length and two inches in circumference, being round like an eel. The fish belongs to the sucker species. Its mouth is situ- ated on the side of it's head, and on the opposite side are eight small round holes through which it evi- dently breathes. A river fisherman caught buffalo fish yesterday and attached to it was this curious speei- men of the sucker family. Nothing like this fish was ever before seen in this county. Judge Bocage will preserve it in alcohol, It is indeed a curiosity and is well worth going to see.

Not till lifc's heat has cooled,
The hcadlong rush slowed To quiet pace,
And every purblind passion that had ruled
Our noiScr years at last,
Spurs us in vain, and weary of the race.
We care no more who loses or who wias-
All. not till all the best of life sccrns past
The best Of life begins.
To toll for only fame.
Hand clippings and the tickle gusts Of praise
For place or power or gold to gid name
Above the grave whcrcto
All paths will bring Us, were to lose our days,
We, on whose ears youths passing boil has
tollcd
In blowing bubbles, even as children do.
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world wdcnS when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us lies
Broken among our childhoods toys. for then
We win to self controll
And mail ourselves in manhood, and there riso
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto the soul
What stars are to the night.

Tho first few moments after tho out

While Waterman may bc thoroughly con-

With tho splcndidly developed electric
fire alarm systems which are on the mar
