SENATOR JONES IGNORED.
Selected as a Delegate to the International
 Monetary Conference.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Jones, Daniels and Teller are the delegates nm the part of the Senate to repre- sent this government at the Inter national Money Conference. Senator Jones was selected unanimously. This is high compliment paid the state, and all friends of silver are re- ioicing that Jones has been selected. His well-known views on the silver question give great courage to all friends of free and unlimited coinage of the white metal, and they know that he will never surrender any yan- tage ground which tends to place sil- yer in it's rightful place as compared with gold.

ARa,lroad to Be Sold.

ATLANTA, Ga., March 5.-Before 6 o'clock this evening it will be de termined whether the Georgia Southern & Florida railroad will bring $4, 5Oe, 900, today being the first of the series of days set for the sale of the road. That the road will not be disposed of for the sum named is a foregone conclusion, although it is not considered an ex- orbitant figure for the property, which is one of the most valuable connecting lines in the South. Those contemplating buying the road, how ever, will hold off for a better bar gain.

SMITH-In Pine Bluff, March 5, R895. the infant child of MT. and Mrs. Toney Smith, aged about 5 months.
 The little one was in perfect health last night and at o'clock this morn ing Dr. J. P Stanley was hastily summoned by the distracted father who said that he believed his little one was dead. When the physician arrived, he found that such was, in deed, the case. Itis supposed that the infant had been wrapped up to closely and smothered.

A GRAND SINGER.
What Washington Paper Has to Say About Miss Yaw, Who Is to Appear
 in Pine Bluff soon.

The Washington Post of October 19 had the following to say about Yaw. Miss Yaw is the grca test singer living, and the patrons of the Lyceum have a treat in store for them. Old-tiIners, who cherish in their hearts memories of Nilsson, Parepa Rosa and Patti in her prime fondly hatter themselves that there is no effect of the human voice which can stir them az they have been stirred, but all must admit anew and indescribable sensation at hearing a voice which hean sing nearly an octave higher than those famous song birds ever scared. This was the sensation enjoyed by large and representa- tive audience of Washington music lovers at Metzerott Music Hall last evening" Much had been heard of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the phenome- nal new singer, who, in point of vocal range, Surpasses all the sing . doubts expressed beforehand as to her ability to reach the expectations aroused by these preliminary an- nOuneements. But all these doubts were expressed before the concert
 there were none heard afterWard, for she surpassed all expectations 1t was something of q preparatory sur prise when, instead of the typical prima donna, all smiles and serenity, there glided upon the stage grace ful girlish figure, clad in simple, flow ing robes, and with her light blonde hair coiled loosely upon her head, looking like one of those ideal maid ems of the empire period just stepped from some picture frame. Her man. ner was so simple and unaffected that her auditors were scarcely pre- pared for her subsequent perform ances. Her opening nuIaber was the Russian Nightingale song, a dainty little selection and well chosen. Her upper tones-those usually consid- cred about the limit of a high so- prano vOice-were clear and flute like, and above that they arefine and resonant as the harmonies of q vio- | lin, The 'Villanelle of Dell Acqua, which was the second selection of this double number, was even better calculated to show the range of her voice, and when, with apparent ease, she sang to B above high E, the audi ence broke into loud and enthusiastic applause. After that her triumph was assured. 'Proch's Theme and Variations gave ample opportunities for the display of what may be termed vocal pyrotechnics, and Miss Yaw's staccatos and trills are re markable for ease and accuracy as well as range"

CAN HUMAN FLESH PETRIFYY
A Noted Professor of Chemistry in Van derbilt University Say that Ii
 Can Not,

While the remarkable specimen of so-called "petrified man was being exhibited in Pine Bluff, Dr. J. w. Scales, of this city, wrote to pr. Jas. M. Stafford, professor of chemistry in Vanderbilt University, at Nash vile, giving him a description ot the find" and asking his opinion as to the possibility of it being a bona fide man.
 Dr. Scales is also aware that Van derbilt University has reward of $40, 900 for even a small particle of petrified human flesh. The follow ing is the letter received from the noted chemist:
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, March l, 1895. J. W. Scales, NJ. D,
 DEAR DoCToR:-Yours of the 24th ut. received. 1 still adhere. to my statement as you heard it. Flesh cannot petrify. It putrifes and putrifies too rapidly to petrify. Within a year we have had two so, called petrifed human bodies on ex- hibition in Nashville. Che I ex amined carefully and found it to De an artificial thing made of cement or mortar The other I did not see, but was told it was a preparation of pretty much the same sort.
 Now, Doctor, that you have seen something is clear, and this some thing you have mistaken for petri. fled flesh and bone, or say flesh Bone will petrify.
 Now, l can't say what the "some thing is, of course, l cannot, with out seeing it. l wish you had broker off the foot and sentit to me. Rocks will form themselves into a great variety of shapes, and sometimes these shapes resemble more or less objects that we are familiar with.
 If you examine into the find" any further, would be pleased to have you write to me about it. Yours truly, JAS. M. SAFFoRD.
