MILLS WRIGHT.
The Portrait Statue of Little Rock
 Youth.

One of the prettiest pieces of stat uary ever seen in Memphis is now or exhibition in the show window oi Morris Bros, 457 Main street.
 It is the portrait statue of Ander- Mills Wright, a boy of II, and is in- tended for his grave in Oakland Cemetery, at Little Rock.
 The statue which was designed by the above firm and executed at their studio in Carrara, Italy, is noteworthy from the fact that the conventional stiffness, so frequent in this class of work, is altogether absent
 The boy is shown in an easy and natural position, leaning against a stump of tree, the forearm resting upon it, with the hand gracefully extended oyer. The easy pose, the pleasing expression of the face, the neatIy-tied bow at the throat, butt toned jacket with it's corded binding, watch-chain and charm, all show the care and study which the sealp- tor gave the subject To be thor oughly appreciated, the statue must be seen, and all lovers of arr should embrace this opportunity, as q more perfect piece of work is rarely seen. -Commercial=Appeal.

It is said that the most nauseoua physic may be given to ochildren with out trouble by previously letting them take peppermint lozenge, a piece of alum, or a bit of orange-peel. Many people make the mistake of giving sweet afterward to take away the disagreeable taste. It is far better to destroy it in the first instance.

AN ELECTRIC-CAR LINE.
Prospects Good for One to Be Established
 in Pine Bluff.

The chances are good that before the year 1895 closes Pine Bluff will have first-class and complete elee tric ear system. In the past week there has been two gentlemen rep syndieates from Chicago and St. Louis in the city conferring with the officers and owners of the Citizens Street Railway, with the view to putting in an electric-car line. The representative of the Chicago syndicate left here Friday much pleased with Pine Bluff and her possibilities. He reported that it would take at least $75, 900 to put on electric cars, but felt sure his company would be willing to invest that sum in the enterprise.
 A GRAPHIC reporter interviewed Mr. O'Connell, of the Citizens Street Railway, this morning and that gentleman feels sure that the deal will be consammated at an early date. He denies the renort that the present car service will be closed down, but says that his com pany will continue to operate the present lines until the deal is made and the electric service put on.

who had charge of the rehcarsals and
directed the play. She filled the role
of elocution mistress as could be done
only by one of experience, but that was
secondary to the work necessary to fit
the others for their parts. Mrs. Balcom
has had years of practical stage exper-
fence under the best managers, and be-
sides possesses a strong magnetic ma
ture which is very contagious. There
is not whim or fancy that girlhood is
heir to that she does not seem to fully
comprehend and enter into sympathy
with them. Every detail is worked up
and therein lies her success. Her work
presents a more professional look than
is generally found in amateur perform
ances.
The society will clear about Sis from
the entertainment, and besides pleased
every one of the large and critical au-
dience who assembled to witness the
play. We congratulate them on their

CORPORATION MEETING.
Much Business for Next Monday
EVENING.

There are several articles in the war
rant for the annual village corporation
meeting that will require a careful con-
sideration on the part of the voters.
Regarding fire protection for Westmin-
ster, it seems that some arrangement
should be made to extend the service
into that town. In view of the geo.
graphical relations of the northern part
of Westminster, would it not be advs-
able to have small portion of it an
neXed to Rockingham and the village
of Bellows Falls? BY so doing several
little difficulties could be surmounted.
Do we need any more street lights
Just take walk around town some
dark night and judge for yourself.
Double the present number would give
none too much light, but half dozen
placed at favorable points would be an
improvement.
Arrangements should be made to lay
considerable new water pipe next sum-
mer. From the Methodist church to
the lower end of Westminster street
the pipe is too small, and in case of fire
will not furnish water enough for one
good stream. That was evident at the
fire in Guild & Wetherbee's mill, which
is lower than any level in this village
and should consequently give greater
pressure. On the old terrace, too, the
pipe is too small, and does not extend
over sufficient territory. Several new
hydrants are needed both there and on
Westminster street
Everybody wants to see the square
paved. Such portion of it as has been
permanently repaired has given such
satisfaction as to justify an increase in
the area of paved streets as fast as prac-
ticable.
If Improvements are to be made in
the water department, and they are
certainly badly needed, it may be nee
essary to increase the water rates. They
are not very high at present, and a
slight increase would not be much of a
burden on the Taxpayers.
IL seems CnaC something must be done
to compel abutters to keep the snow
cleared off the concrete walks. We
might as well have clay walks so far as
comfort in walking is concerned during
the winter months. At the present
time the walks are practically useless
because the melted snow has frozen and
covered the walks with a sheet of ice
The streets are more popular with ped
,c,t,,o I,+ l>,,+ -
Armenians we might as well be in style
and have the walks kept SO it will be
safe to use them.
The election of officers will cause very
little excitement, as the present board
are faithful and efficient, and the condi-
ton does not seem to warrant change.
The village reports will be out in time
for their consideration by voters before
the meeting.

Charley's Aunt.
success.

After pronounced successes in Lon
don, New York, Boston and various
other places, "Charley's Aunt" will be
presented at the Opera House, Tuesday
evening, January 20, under the local
management of G. E. Capron. The
principal personages figuring in the
farce are three college boys, of whom
two, Jack Chesney and Charley Wyke-
ham are in love, one with the niece, the
other with the ward of an avaricious So
| licitor. In order to induce the young
ladies to take tea with them at the col
lege, the young men send invitations
to the young ladies to take tea with
"Charley's Aunt" who is expected to
arrive at Oxford that day. On the non
appearance of the aunt, the other collie
gian, Lord Fancourt Babberly is per-
suaded to impersonate that relative
who has never been seen in Oxford even
by her nephew. The aunt being reput-
ed millionaire, the masquerader re-
ceives gallant attentions from the soil c.
1tor and from Sir Francis Chesney, the
father of Jack. OF course the affair is
complicated by the later arrival of the
real aunt, accompanied by ward who
is a former sweetheart of Lord Fan
court. In trying to carry out the part
of "Charley's Aunt" on such short no.
tice and without any previous instruc-
tons, and being further embarrassed by
the real aunt's ward and by the atten-
tons of the two elder suitors, Lord Fan
court involves himself and his friends
in the most ridiculous position, until
the whole story is Strengthened out in
the third act. Many of the situations
are obviously forced, but the play has q
number of really strong and humorous
scenes. Do not miss seeing it.

manifesto about the slipper, as every
one knows, and then the time comes
for the princes appearance. Clara Viii.
kins Miss Gray is the prince, and q
very pretty one too. She doesn't want
to come in, but does under threat OF
dismissal by Miss Jones and creates
CONSERVATION with her strange attire,
The slipper is fitted to the foot of Gin
derella, after her sisters have unsuccess-
fully tried it, and the prince proclaims
her as his bride. Just then Miss Pinch
beck returns and wants to take Cinder-
ella away, but it is explained that she
is not poor pupil but an actor in the
charades, and everything is smoothed
over and the rehearsal is concluded.
There are frequent Interruptions to
the rehearsal by Sarah Ann miss
George who was always eating, and
Sophonisba Spivins Miss Blair ro-
mantle girl who is reading thrilling
love story. Every few minutes she
would break out with sobs and as the
other girls gathered around she would
tell of the exciting events that were
happening just before the continued
in our next" and would hurry off after
another installment. Mademoiselle
Epinard Mrs. Matthew'S was an ideal
French governess, and her song "What
is love?" was one of the features of the
evening, calling forth an encore. Her
action throughout the play was excel
lent, model of Partisan Frenchiness
in manner and speech.
The star was Miss Gertrude Weston
as Cinderella. She has pretty face, a
remarkably sweet, strong voice, and
seems perfectly at home on the stage
without the put on style so common to
many even among professionals. Mrs.
Conant ably filled the position of a
prim, prudish and precise matron long
past girlhood, and Miss Bissell as the
old maid was as natural as any lonely
spinster of IL summers and SO winters
that you could find in all New Eng
land. Mrs. Rogers and Miss Fletcher
as the spiteful sisters were true to the
general conception of such demonesses
as the fairy tale leads us to believe Gin
derella's sisters were. Miss Gray made
charming prince, and assumed the
role with much grace. Miss Sawyer as
the fairy godmother, as before re-
marked, was ludicrous. 1t was a come
dy part done to perfection, and her sing
ing added much to the success of the
play.
S. w. Wilder acted as accompanist,
and a string quartet composed of Fred
Exner, LIST violin, George EXner, I'd
violin, III. M. Weeden, viola, G. V.
White, cello, rendered several selec-
tions at the opening and between the
acts that were roundly encored.
Of course the success of the entertain
ment can be credited to Mrs. Balloon,

"a DRESS REHEARSAL"
Young Ladies Look Pretty, Act
Well and Give a Successful En-
tertainment.

j The body of the Opera House was
well filled last Thursday evening to
witness the production of the operetta
IA Dress Rehearsal" by the young
ladies of Emmanuel church. The open
ing scene showed the young ladies OF
Grove House Academy seated at their
work and chatting away as girls al
ways do whenever they get together.
The lady principal of the school, Miss
Jones Mrs. Conant) comes in and an
nounces that she has decided to allow
the young ladies to produce charade
at the close of the term, and has en-
gagged an elocution teacher Mrs. Jarvey
Mrs. Balcony to train them for their
parts. Mrs. Jarvey is a retired actress,
has played Shakespeare and tells
about it in song. The girls gather
around her and tell of their plans to
produce "Cinderella, which they tell
Miss Jones is one of Shakespeare IS
plays. Miss Jones is evidently net very
well up on the writer's works, for she
allows the girls to convince her that he
was the author. Mrs. Jarvey at first
demurs, but finally consents to aid the
girls in their deception, and the first
act winds up with pretty dance, ac-
companied by song.
In act two Miss Fibbs Miss Weston)
enters to begin her rehearsal of the part
of Cinderella. She has on an old,
patched dress, and is bemoaning her
fate which obliges her to go in rags and
without food when visitor, Miss
Pinchbeck Miss BisselD is announced.
She sees Cinderella, thinks her poor
pupil who is being maltreated and hur-
ries out after the police. The play pro-
crosses, Cinderella going through her
part with the assistance of Mrs. Jarvey.
Then the two sisters, Martha Higgins
Miss Fletcher) and Garry Jackson Mrs.
Rogers, come in attired for the ball
and stormy scene ensues in which
Cinderella acts the peacemaker closing
with trio which the audience demand
ed repetition of. Cinderella sleeps
and in comes the fairy godmother, Rosa
Jennings Miss Sawyer, whose concep-
ton of the part is somewhat ludicrous,
she assuming that the fairy godmother
would put on the tone and actions of
a Bluebeard. Mrs. Jarvey shows her
how the part should be played and
Cinderella is awakened and clothed in
beautiful raiment. After receiving her
instructions about conducting herself
at the dance, Cinderella departs. On
the return of the sisters they are talk
ing about the unknown beauty at the
ball and that the prince has fallen in
love with her. The prince issues a

Not an American Tune.

On one occasion when General Sherman
was travelling in Europe after the war he
put up at an inn in small Irish town.
The day after his arrival he was surprised
to hear a band approaching playing
Marching Through Georgia. Great
hoavensi" said be. "Has that tune fol-
lowed me into Ireland?" A friend pres
ent suggested that he should recognize the
compliment by going out upon the baloo-
ny. This he did, but the band and pro-
oession passed by without stopping or even
giving any signs of an implied recognition
of the American hero. The general did
not know what to make of it, and turning
to person standing by said, "What is all
thisf'
''ooh, sure, it's only parade, was the
response.
"What tune in that they are playing?'
inquired the general.
Sure, it's an old Irish air that's as old
as the hills, he replied. '"They've been
playin it ever sinoeI could remember, and
sure I'm no kid"
The general looked subdued, and turn
ing to his American friend said, "Veriiy,
there is nothing new under the sun, not
even 'Sherman's March Through Geor-
gia. :"
: 1t is said that Dixie is also of Irish
origin.

swnboIism OF the Lily.

In the middle ages the white lily came
to be considered by the church the especial
emblem Of heavenly purity. 1t was dedi-
Gated to the Virgin Mary. Its cup became
the model Of the consecrated silver chalice
and nearly 100 saints claimed it for their
emblem. Painters often placed it in the
Madonna's hands in their representations
of that most fond and precious ideal of
anciont art, and its use in the festival Of
the annunciation gave to it the name of
annunciation lily. The stately dignity
and chaste and inviolate purity of the
flower made it especially appropriate.
Transferred from earlier to the later re-
ligion, from pagan temple to convent,
cloister, cathedral and church, it has gain
ed in significance in the transition and
breaches on Easter morning and at all
other times gospel of beauty and love
free from all egotism, full of wholesome
piety and charity and rich with eternal
purity and hope

New Gowns For Easter.

The women who adorn themselves with
fine garments on Easter morning are but
following the superstition Of their faraway
forefathers in Saxon England, for to wear
old clothes on that day will bring sad
crosses in lore. In Poor Robin the an
Gent custom responsible for this modern
law of fashion is referred to thus:
At Easter let your clothes be new,
Or else be cure you will it rue.
