Another good sized audience was present at Glen wood Park last night and witnessed the presentation of grand double bill, Tn Honor Bound, and My Awful Dad. The company was seen to special advantage in the two plays and further strengthened the hold on public favor secured in the two prior performances at the park. Some of the cleverest artists ever seen in this city constitute portion of the company's personnel and the plays rendered are clean, breezy and interesting. The people appreciate such attractions and they are evinc- ing their appreciation very substan- tially.
 Tonight the play will be Married Life.

The hats may be selected from their hand some display and without regard to price, whether t be S. or $20 Know ing, as all Pine Bluff ladies do, the beautiful and costly hats this firm always carries in stock we can ex- pect to see a lively contest for second place

A PATRIOTS RESTING PLACE
Sons of the Revolution Will Erect B Mon.
 ument Over Hsncock's Grave.

The body of John Hancock, the first Governor of Massachusetts, has lain in the old Granary Burial Ground in the heart of Boston, for 103 years with no monument. How much longer this tribute might have been delayed but for the action of the Sons of the Revolution two years ago, when they decorated Hancock s grave, may not be known. This tribute, however, says the New York Tribune, called public attention to the matter, and in the last Leg islature a colofed member named Teamoh introduced a resolution ask ing the State to erect suitable memorial. It was accepted. It is 8 simple shaft sixteen feet high, of Tennessee marble with a base of Milford granite. It is adorned near the top by a medallion of Han cock made from a painting by Cop ley, surrounded by conventional wreath of oak leaves. Above the portrait is the Hancock coat of arms surrounded by Greek ornaments. The coat of arms consists of shield bearing on it's upper half three cocks and on the lower half hand sur mounted by the crest of a winged griffin, with the legend: "Obsta Principals" Directly beneath this is the following inscription: "This memorial, erected AID. MDCCCXCV, by the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts, to mark the grave of John Hancock" It will soon be placed in position.

LILLIAN IN BICYCLE CARE.
Make Up of the Costume That Had
 Shocked the Long Islanders.
~---77-7--7-777=77-777--~

It will no doubt interest women cyclists to know precisely the riding costume adopted by Lillian Russell, says New York special the cos tune that has recently somewhat shocked the sensitive Long Islanders where she is summeling, compelling her to ride in closed carriage several miles to a wooded rendez- vous; where she mounts her wheel and enjoys her spin in the country.
 The costume made of fine quality of black serge. The skirt falls to the knees. Underneath are black trousers, made loose and comforta- ble. These are gathered just below the knee with silk cord that is made in bow on the outside of the leg. The ends of the strings are tas- teled. Black breadcloth leggins reach the trousers. They have sixteen sbuttons of dark smoked pearl. The jacket is dainty affair reaching the waistband. It is cut Norfork style, with moderately large sleeves. The coat is lined with black silk and is kent snug to the figure with whalebones. The coat buttons match the buttons on the leggings.
 Miss Russell dislikes starched clothing and wears waist of some sort of light silk, with an embroid- cred over collar and bosom. The color she most affects is dark blue or pink. The embroidery is the same color as the shirt. The hat is the nattiest of the costume. It is of the same material as the dress, and has a brim two inches wide turned up or curled. An ostrich feather falls gracefully over the left ear. Of late the actress has dispenced with feather. The coat is made so it can be buttoned ol unbuttoned as the wearer desires. Miss Russell looks very attractive in her bicycle suit in spite of her great size.
