II Is d matter Of much regret
among the students and visitors at
Commencement, that enough money
vas not appropriated TO procure mn
sic for Commencement II was the
custom for q number Of years for the
Regents to- appropriate certain
amount, the societies TO give some
thing and the COMMITTEES for the
Commencement bah to make suffl-
Gent to secure some good band and
orchestra for commencement week !:
but two years ago the societies failed
to make any allowance, and the E5e-
gents and bali committee provided
the music, and much trouble has DC
Cured ever since Is relation to jhe
matter ofmnsic. This i one az be
features of Commencement KIT
should not Be negis@sed, and 3ne
that will be greatly missed bscapse
the Commencement exercises and

music. It is to be hoped that the
Regents will make sufficient appro-
priation to furnish music for next

EUCHAR[sTIC CONGRESS.
The Opening Services Conducted With
 Great Pomp and Ceremonies.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Oct. 2:-For the next three or four days the Roman Catholic world generally, and the various educational bodies of the church in particular, will turn their attention to the pro- ceedings of the Eucharistic Con- gress, which was formally opened in St. Mathews Church this city today. This is the second meeting of this kind held in the United States. The first was held about one year ago at the University of Notre Dame, near South Bend, Ind. The Congress is in no sense a religious gathering, but confined its work strictly to the educational labors of the Catholic Chucrh. The ceremonies this morning were con. ducted with all the pomp and cere- mony of the Roman Catholic Church. The beautiful Church of St. Matthew's, which just completed, was crowded with church digni- taries from every part of the eoun- try. The exercises proper began at g o'clock with high pontifical mass of thanksgiving celebrated by Mgr. Satolli. The sermon was preached by Bishop Keane, of the Catholic University. After eluoglz- ing the church and it's educational work, he spoke at considerable length on the need of christian education, of what it consisted, and the means best calculated to obtain it. The sermon abounded in lofty eloquence, and closed with a most eloquent appeal for christian edu- cation and morality. The sermon of Bishop Keane was followed by brief remarks from Cardinal Gib- bons, Archbishop Corrigan, Bishop Macs and other churchmen of high degree. The exercises of the day concluded with the adoration of the eucharist. A notable feature was the music of the great organ, which was of a grand order and fully demonstrated the fact that the acoustic properties of the new church are perfect.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Tomorrow Night The New Woman Win
 Make Her Apparence.

Tomorrow night. at the Pine Bluff Opera-house, the Imaginable three-act comedy, "The Deacon, :" will be produced to assist in raising fund with which to build a hospital for our town. The performers are among the most talented amatures in the city, and the play bids fair to be a grand success. The manage ment to give the performance an even greater interest, have intro duced a novelty, inasmuch as four of the prettiest young ladies in Pine Bluff will act as ushers on this oc- casison. They are Misses Woodie Johnson, Nellie McEwen, Josie Bluthenthal and Lillian Atkinson. Misses Eulalie Benton will act as doorkeeper and Misses Corinne Meyer and Martha Valiant will have entire charge of the box office.
 The Opera-house should certainly be crowded with our people tomor- row night, but we venture to pre- dict that the yonng lady ushers will see that you are comfortable and can enjoy the performance.

Charles Elliott Niswonger.

MT. Niswonger, the mind reader, aeeomplishes feats as good or greater than those mastered by Johnstone or by Washington Irving Bishop in his time. In this city Mir. Niswon- ger, while blindfolded, drove a car riage flashing through the streets, found letter at the postoffice and delivered it to the one to whom it was addressed. Blindfolded he stood at the throttle of a locomotive and took it around the Belt Line railway, making switches and giv- ing proper warnings at crossings by the whistles. He went to Drury College and found book secreted in an out of the way place and opened it to a sentence marked. On the stage of the Grand Opera house he did equally marvellous things.
 All these marvellous things were accomplished thralgh citizens who are beyond any trickery. AS for him self MT. Niswonger uses no leger. dermain. The source of his power, or its philosophy, he does not un- dertake to explain or profess uo know. He knows only what he car do and that he never fails to accom- plish.
 There is nothing akin to fake about him. He is not scfemer after money, but an explorer through the mysterious chambers of mind and memory. He is quiet and affable, has nothing to do with boast or pomp and close student of the make up of mankind.-Springfield. (Mo.) Republican.
 MT. Niswonger will give a per formance of his wonderful power at the Opera-house Oct. 5.

SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

oNOA SAoClliCht to WOA HOih lLlit q cles, won't sell ice in Greenland nor snowshoes at the equator. An advertisement will sell overcoats iu July if they are cheap enough, but a seasonable ad. of seasonable stuff is always best.
 Dull season advertising must be considered in two ways, as adver. Using and as insuranee-insuranee of business-insurance against loss of trade.
 Such insurance should be placed on the same business principles that dictate the placing of fire and life insurance Pick out the strong. est companies the best papers. Business insurance-advertising -is better than the other kinds. They repay the losses caused by misfortune. Advertising prevents the misfortune.
 It may be possible to do adver- Using from which you will never see tany results. It is certain that you will never get results from the advertising that you do not do.
 If all the money that is wasted in worthless media were concen- trated in the best paper-a paper like The GRAPHIC, it would carry Q good advertisement straight through the dull season.
 Advertising finds parallel in farming. At some seasons the harvest follows the planting very quickly, at others the result is slower.
 Planting advestising seed in December and the crop comes at once. Plant in July and it may be September before the full, rich harvest comes, but it will come. And if you plant little garden sass" along with it, you'll get some thing to eat right straight through July aHd August, too.
 Don't try to sell heavy things things involving great outlay. Seek out the little catchy, useful things. Get a wedge of satisfaction started into the house with three cent fan, and the big end of it will carry in some silk dresses later on.
 Running expenses are much the same, whether you're dull or busy. Figure the cost of the advertising against the gross profit of the in- creased business from week to week, and the operation will show a profit every time, provided the advertisements are properly con- sidered and writen-"bnt that's another story as MT. Kipling says.
