ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Passport" !"

Judging from the small audience that witnessed the performance of the Passport, by Sadie Martinot and her excellent company, at the Opera-house last evening, we do not believe that if the once great Booth-Barret combination, were to return to life and appear at the Opera-house in Pine Bluff that their receipts would net them enough to pay railroad fare to Camden, un- less they appeared in minstrelsy or made affidavit to the effect that they were originally from this city
 s"rhe Passport" is asociety drama, with more than unusual interest for English dialogue, and furnishes'a a very dainty and amusing entertainmen t.
 Miss Martinot bears the reputa- ton of being the best type of light cOmediennes on che American stage, and last evening was no exception. The gowns worn by her were both costly and beautiful.
 Mir. Figman, who supports Miss Maftinot, as well as being her man. ager, did not appear, and, conse- quently, the play was not seen at it's best. But what could one expect of such people as Miss Martinot and Mir. Figman, who only received as their share for the performance 75 per cent of $6S. By MT. Figman's non-appearmce two characters were entirely left out, and others not pre-, scented as they should have been, but then no one could find fault with the company as a whole.
 This was Miss Martinot's first visit to onr city, and, no doubt, will be the last one, for an actress who bears the reputation of this lady, and is well worthy of it, certainly docs not wish to play tosuch small audi ence as the one of last evening.
 On April 3rd James O'Neill will ap- pear here in the Count of Monte Cristo, and it's 'dollars to doughnuts" that after performing here he will exclude Pine Bluff when he proclaims: "The world is mine!"

An Artist of Renown.

Mr. F. De Lamont, the mute artist, is taking. the town by storm, and orders for portraits are pouring in upon him so fast that it will take him many days to fill them. He is exhibiting his work in the show window of Blum's emporium and there is always Q crowd of eager people around him watching him take wonderfully true portraits from life. For this work he only charges the small sum of 9 cents. Each Of these pictures. are splendidly exc cuted and the finish is good.
 Mr. Lamont is a skilled artist, by far the most superior that ever visi- ted this section. With him he has several copies made by him while in Europe of celebrated paintings of the old masters, among them, which attracted the admiration of the GRAPHIC reporter was d copy of sThe Detected Culpit," by Gructzner. This copy is a master piece itself, and to a lover of art is worth going far to see. He also has sketches from life taken from various subjects while in the old country.
 Mr. De Lamont makes a speciality of fine portraitss oil paintings and enlarging photographs, and from his work it is easily seen that he is a master in his profession. He is now at work upona q portrait of Governor Stone, of Mississippi.
 Those of our people who desire portraits had better avail themselves of this opportunity and give this talented artist their order before he leaves town.

Royal Baking Powder is the purest and highest in strength of any of the baking powders, and hence makes more, finer and better food. These are the official lasts as set forth by the U. s. Government and the various State Chemists reports. Of course great efforts will be made by those interested in the sale of the cheaper made, alum powders, to continue their sale where consumers have malle up their minds to have the Royal and call for it at their grocers. The Royal Powder is so much supe- rior to all the orher preparations for quick raising, that 1t will amply re- pay bouse-keepers to use the neces- sary persistency to procure ii in spite of all objections.

A LAUGHABLE FARCE.
The Majah in Convulsions for Fear That Republican Councilman may be
 Elected.

While the Commercial has not the information direct, yet indirectly it has been led to believe. that the Repub- lican party of this city is seriously contemplating putting outa straight Republican ticket. The Commercial up to now has always been opposed to mixing politics with our city cleo tion affairs, but if this is the scheme of the Republicans, then we favor the calling of Democrats together at once and placing a full Democratic ticket in the field for city officers. In such an event the Commercial will positively stand by the Democratic ticket. We certainty do not favor a Republican ticket, and in order to defeat it we will work and vote for the Democratic, whether we like the personnel of the ticket or not.
 We must not sleep on our arms.
 We object to politics being lugged into our municipal election, but II the Republicans force us we shall meet them and most positively de- feat them.
 Let the leaders of our party ot once "get together and mash out effec- tually the Republican iunto.-Pine Bluff Commercial.
 The dear, changing creature! What has come over the spirit of his dreams? It was only a few short months ago when he was in agony and distress because the Democrats of Jefferson county would not com promise with, and place in the Sheriff's and Circuit Clerks office, a Republican. Now he calls to 'sarms" the very people whom he so roundly abused and vilified and urges them s'to get together" because, f0rs0oth, he has heard a vague rumor that the republicans contemplate putting out d candidate for Alderman, or per chance one for Mayor.
 Read the following paragraph taken from yesterdays trooly pious" and think of the articles that appeared in that paper just before, aud after the last Democratic county convention, and you can not but help laugh at the inconsistency of our vespertine contemporary:
 "The Commercial will positively stand by the Democratic ticket. We certainly d0 not favor a Republican ticket, and in order to defeat it we will work and vote for the Democrat tic whether we like the personnel of the ticket or not.
 Keep your pants on, Majahl The DEMOCRATS of Pine Bluff will see that only Democrats are elected to offices 7 in Pine Bluff,

 DEAR SIR:-I saw in Fridays GRAPHIC q description of the stone man found near Humphrey. It is q fraud. Exactly the same kind of man was found in the Brazos River near Waco, about six weeks ago, which created quite sensation. A thorough investigation revealed the fact that there is a man in Pennsyl- vania engaged in the manufacture of these stone men, and that they are shipped over the country, buried in some strenm and finally discovered by fisherman who is hired for the purpose. There is not in any Gov ernment museum such q thing as a stone man, and scientific men all know that such thing is an impos- ibility. The stone men are all found on exhibition in side shows and dime museums.
 A month before the discovery at Waco a stone man was found in California, so you see they are get ting quite common. Yours truly,

The statics show that there Is used in the manufacture of the Royal Bak- ing Powder more than half of all the cream of tarter consumed i'll the United States for all purposes. The wonderful sale thus indicated for the Royal Baking Powder-greater than that of all other baking powders combined-is perhaps, the highest evidence of the superiority of this article, and of it's indispensableness to modern cookery.

They Want Land.

PERRY, Ok, May 19.-The news that
the president has aigred proclamation
opening the KickspoO Indian reservation
to settlement next Thursday at high
noon has caused great excitement all
over Oklahoma, and hundreds OF people
are preparing to move to the line Of the
new promised land. For nearly two years
squstters have been camping around
this new country, and for the last three
months people have been arriving daily,
till now many thousands Of people
are lined up around this land Of milk
and honey ready for the word from the
president to 60.
This band will be greatly augmented
now that tho proclamation has bssn
published, and it is estimated that no
less than 10000 people will bb ready to
make the run next Thursday. In all,
there will be less than 600 quarter sec.
lions Of land. No doubt there will be
camping on the border to make the run
fifty persons to every claim.
Word has reached the squatters four
different times that the president had
opened this reservation, and every claim
has bean staksd By many people, but
they soon leaned somebody had fooled
them, and they went back 10 their camps

Corner on Wheat ships.

TACOMA, WASH, May Is Grain men
here say that English ship owners hsve
cornered the wheat ships OF the Pacific
coast and they connect the Fair wheat
OF San Francisco with the deal. There
is q scheme to hold wheat ships Ia
port" said Pnil II. Ksrshsw Of the West
Coast Grain company to day, "until
charters are run up to an outrageous
figure and then get the Fair wheat 10
load at fancy prices. We on the Pa
oiic coast are at the mercy of the own.
ers Of English bottoms, who have cor.
nered the ships at San Francisco and on
the Puget Sound, beside buying up ell
the English bottoms head ID this way.
"Aftsr they had done that they put
up the price Of charters from IS shil-
lings to from 95@37 shillings. This 10
equivalent to an advance OF II cents In
the price Of wheat, but while these
great advances have been made in the
price Of charters our wheat has not in-
creased but about 3 cents per bushsl.
"In Chicago and Liverpool the price
Of wheat has advanced from 15@l8 Osnts
Der bushel. So IL will be seen TnRt sim-
ply on account Of this corner on quar-
Esrs or this coast with its headquarters
ct San Francisco, the managers Of the
corner propose to rake Of oil the bone
fits to be derived from the advance In
wheat. They propose to make q profit
Of from 12@l5 cents per bnshel OF the
advance, while the wheat raiser aud
dealer are to get bat 2 or 3 cents per
bushOl.
81 have already advised all my clients
to get together and arrange at once with
the railroads to give q reasonable rate
on wheat shipment By rail to Chicago.
II this IL done it will break the back Of
the corner on ships. As 1t is, we are
bound hand and foot and are sG tho
mercy of q lot Of English ship owners
who have dubbed together to take ad-
vantage Of the advance in the price Os

$4,000 under the inCOme-tsx law which
was to-day declared unconstitutional.
Il ia almost certain thRt Internal Rev
enue Commissioner Miller, as soon as he
il officially informed Of the courts de.
cision will take steps to refund oil the
collections. The internal Teuenue laws
give the commissioner specific authority
10 refund all moneys illegally or wrong
fully collected by hlm, and there seems
to be no doubt9that this authority covers
the lnCome-tax case.
II the law had mot been shorn Of it's sp-
pliCation to incomes from rents and state
and municipal bonds, the treasury would
have bean richer July bY 25 million
dollars, and in August there would
have been 10 million dollars more.
Up to the present time $4,000 have
been paid in on account of the tax,
which will, Of course, have to be re-
funded, while something like $l50,000
has been expended in the preparations
and the payment Of salaries OF the $50
deputies appointed.
The excess Of expenditures over re-
Ceipts is now over so million dollars.
The treasury officials had hoped to see
this decreased by the receipts from the
inCome-tax. Now 1t is believed to be
almost certain that the excess instead of
being diminished will be very materially
increased. The payment for pensions
will be probably l3 million dollars in
July and something like Z millions will
have TO be used to meet the interest due.
Liabilities under the new appropriations
bill will have to be met, and altogether
it is expected that fully 80 million dol
lars Of extraordinary expenses will con-
front the treasury Bt the beginning Of
the new fiscal year. There are still 80
million dollars in the treasury which can
be used before it becomes nscsss sry
again to trench on the gold reserve, al
though about 15 millions of this is in
fractional coin.
There iS q fear that when the strin-
gent condition Of the treasury becomes
known, a raid will DO made upon the
gold reserve, in which case On extra
session or another issue Of bonds will be
imperative. Which course will be pur-
sued is q question which cannot bs an
