Pine Bluff will soon have a charity hospital where the poor and unfor- tunate can receive nursing and med ical attention free of cost. That this is so is largely due to those ex- eellent physicians, Drs. z. Orto and J. P. Runyan, aided by that grand benevolent order, the Royal Area mum.
 Recently Drs. Orto and Runyan purchased the Brunson property on West Fifth avenue for the purpose of converting it into private sani. tarium. It will be fitted up with all the modern improvements known to science and the medical profes- sion.
 The house is large one, and in it is much more room than the phys- clans will need for their own use, SD recently they made a proposition to Herman Carlton Lodge No. 2l8, Royal Arcanum, that if that Lodge would lend them the $2, GOO now ly- ing idle in the hands of the treasury of the lodgef or five years that witt this sum they would fit up the building Tor charity hospital where charity patients ~4lght o' properly cared for and reudegel medical attention.
 Last night at a meeting of Her man Carlton Lodge the proposition was unanimously accepted, and the work of fitting up the building as a sanitariam and hospital will be be gun at an early day.
 No contageous diseases will be treated or be allowed to enter the hospital and the institution prom ises to be great blessing to our city

GOOD ENGLISH.
The Colleges Coming to the Support Of Good English
 In Athletics.

A new argument agaist college athletics has been invented-the deplorable effect which they have on good English" by grating upon it "the coarse language of sports. The plea, says the New York Times, is truly amusing. What on earth is good English" anyhow? Sc far as we know, there is no English better than English. and no writer therefore has ever hesitated to use new words from any sonrce, pro vided they expressed an idea more clearly, or even more picturesquely than did those which formed the vocabulary of his grandfather. Shakespeare is full of the language of sports" ranging from faIconry to pugilism; and if he lived today, it is absolutely certain that he would gleam words from the foot ball fields-and that college pr0- fessors would denounce him for it. Really great men are like the com mon people, in that they never make fetich of the parts of speech; never imagine that dictionaries or grammars settle anything, and never make the mistake of con founding live toungue with dead ones.

It Gives the Hostory of the Ancestor of One of Pine Bluffs
 Distinguished Citi-

This morning at the County Expo sition building q GRAPHIC reporter was shown by Judge ] w. Boeage an interesting and unique volume. The title of the volume was Orderly Book at the Seige of Boston of Capt. William Colt, of New London, 2 with a sketch of Che distinguished patriot. The volume contains a complete record of the orders given and receivep by Capt Colt at the aeige of Boston during the Revolu- tionary War.
 Capt. Colt was born in New London, Nov. ?, 1742, graduated at Yale College in the class of 176l, studied law and was admitted to the bar, his certificate bearing the signature of Gov. Saltonstall. At the beginning of the revolution Capt Colt organized and drilled military company at New London, and con tributed largely from his own funds for the purpose.
 Capt. William Colt was the great grand father of Judge " Bocage, of this city. He fought at Bunker Hill and with his own and Capt Prentiss commands covered the retreat of the Provincial army The armed schooner Harrison, was not one ufH the first, but the very first vessel com missioned in the continental service by General Washington, and by him Capt. Colt was placed in command of this vessel. The claim of Colt to being the first American to turn his maiesty'a bunting upside down and the father of the American navy T-7SeE1Tsa SF Tssass established years ago through the columns r5Iz,tllL,e New York Herald Calkins history of New TTsssslI..llson sssssssl.lon is also an authority on this fact. e
 His son, Capt. Wm. Colt, Jr., made Perry's victory on Lake Erie possi- ble by doing what New Workers re- fused to do; by advancing his own money for the necessary bounty money demanded by Perry's en- listed men. Soon after the payment of the bounty the battle was fought and Perry was victorious. Judge Bocage says that when he was a child he has heard his father relate many thrilling incidents connected with the battles in which he was en- gagged.
 Tie book is certainly one of great interest, as well as a curosity, and it is naturally highly prized by it's owner.

In Spite of Denials the Rebels still Have
the Best Of II.

HAVANA, April 4.-The rebels still
maintain their offensive attitude, and,
despite the announcements of government
victories, they are the ones who make
the attacks. though they are sometimes
repulsed when they attack superior forces.
They attacked the town Of San Nicolas,
province of Havana. but We're driven off
by the garrison there, who largely out
numbered them. They then marched TO
Menela Del Sur. I'm the same province,
which place they attempted to enter.
Again they were repulsed, but not before
they had set fire 10 number Of houses.
They then proceeded TO Guanabo. twelve
miles east OF Havana. and burned the
village. after which they went TO Hoyo
Colorado. During the attack, it is said
that five women, two children, and three
negroes were killed. Thirty-hvc persons
were afterwards found wounded. The
rebel loss is unknown. Altogether l32
houses and huts were burned. Various re-
ports locate Gomez near the border line
between Santa Clara and Camaguey.
In an engagement between Colonel Vas
quez's column and 500 rebels the insur-
gents lost nineteen killed and three wound
ed. The fight lasted four hours.
An insurgent band, led by Zayas. attack
ed the town of San Juan De Las Yeras.
The garrison made a heroic defence, and
repulsed the rebels, who burned several
houses.
