KEEP A SCRAPBOOK.
Every Merchant should Have One and Paste Therein All Valuable Trade
 Hints for Reference.

The Keystone gives some practi- cal directions. Every merchant should keep a serapbook. This sug- gestion has been made before, but it is fully worth emphasizing. Every bright advertisement that you notice in your local paper or those of other towns; every model adver- tisement that you observe in your trade paper and every practical trade-bringing plan or hint, should be cut out and pasted in the book, with fall data saas to the name and date of the paper. You will find such book as this an inexhaustible treasury of riches, especially on taose days when your ideas run scarce, and you are too busy to take time 10 evolve a good advertise mon

sAs YOU LIKE IT."
Fife Ellsler's as Rosalind in ths Above Great shakespearian Comedy an Artistic
 Picture.

One of the most artistic pictures to arrest the eye in a certain metropol- itan theater is that of Fife Ellsler as Rosalind, in Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It," the play which this talented young actress presents at the Opera-house on Wednesday, March 9. In this part she is the beau ideal of dainty grace. In fact she is the daughter Of q family of actors, who believe the stage a temple nf art and have done much toward furthering it's true merit. Miss EIlsler is true Shakes pearian scholar, imbibing both taste and instruction from herfather, John A. Ellsler, who in the day of Forrest Eddy and Booth, ranked as one ol the greatest legitimate comedians of Amefica. This notable actor is one 4sf the members Of -his daughters company, which numbers more than twenty Shakespearian artists among whom are Frank Weston, Holbrook Blinn, George D. Baker, Beatrice Dauncourt, land Bessie La Lestina.
 The fool in Miss Ellsler's company is good. As the fool who tells the tale of life and death as he looks upon the dial, as the one who rants and raves until the verdant Willianl fees in terror, as the one who un- covers many frailties of his race, he is good. His explanation of ia quarrel upon the seventh cause, :" which is true to life, he says: eff is a great peacemaker that more men have given and taken the lie direct but when they met one generally said: If you said 80, then I said so and they shook hands and swore to be brothers" Yes, Miss Ellsler's fool is good

M'KINLEY AND QUAY

 TONS.
Here's Tip for Local Aspirants
 for Office.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21-Sena- tor Quay does not propose to be out done when it comes to using the lit tie political button as a factor in campaigning for the Presidential nomination. Last week it became known that an order had been placed with local manufacturer for half-million buttons bearing the miniature likeness of Maj. McKinley. No sooner had the news reached the ears of the Pennsylvania Senator than an order was sent to the same manufacturer for one million Quay buttons to be made in two designs, and it is said that these badges are intended to outshine in costliness and uniqueness of design anything of the kind that will be distributed in the present campaign.

THEY MEET TOMORROW TO SELECT DELEGATE TO THE NATIONAL
 CONVENTION.
The Action of the Convention Will be no Cut and Dried Affair-The Texas
 Negroes For
 Allison.

AUSTIN, TEX. March 23.-It will be no cut and dried affair, the State Convention which will assemble here tomorrow to choose delegates to the National Republican Con- vention. The forces of Allison, Reed and Mckinley are claiming every thig for their respective candidates, but as a matter of fact all state ments as to the control of the con- vention are purely problena tical. The white Republicans are divided among themselves in favor of either Reed or Mckinley, while the 'sblack and tam element of the party, under the leadership of Wright Cuney, the ex-collector of Galvestion and the recognized leader of the negro forces of the State, ap- pear to present q fairly solid front in favor of Allison. Unless some thing unforeseen turns up, it is reasonably certain the negroes will remain a unite for Allison through thick and thin and in this contin- gency the white Republicans will be forced to heal the breach now separating them and unite on a candidate or see the convention go under the control of the black and tan wing of the party.

OUR RIVER FRONT.
THE SPRING RISES WILL DO IT
 GREAT HARM.
The Dikes as They Are at Present
 Afford No Protection.

The people of Pine Bluff, and es- pecially those who own property along the river front, should at once be mp and doing if they would save that property from being washed away. The present system of dikes is now Of no service whatever, as the current of the river has been deflected to this side and is now sweeping which Pine Bluff stands that it is steadily and rapidly cuttingit it away.
 Just above the Water Works acres upon acres of ground have caved into the river, and from the Water Works down to the Cotton Belt shops the bank is caving with frightful rapidi- ty. The dikes for year or more after they were built afforded great pro otection, but the mass of stone has gradually sunk lower and lower until now when slight rise occurs the water sweeps over it and rushes against the bank with unchecked force. When the spring rises in the river comes much valuable property all along the river front will be swept away The Court House is threatened, for it will take the cur rent but short time to cut away the small piece of land that now re- mains in the rear of the eonnty's valuable property.
 Our people should at once call a mass meeting and take proper steps 4o notify our Senators and Congress men of the evil and call upon then to urge an appropriation by Con gress to build the dilas higher SC that they will perform the servic, for wbIch they were intended.
 This matter has already been neg lected too long, for with the settling of the dikes away went all the good they had accomplished, and where sand bars had once been formed on this side Of the river through theii instrumentallty, now there is the rapidly flowing water which k steadily and constantly encroachine on the bank on which stands prop erty valued at hundred of thousands of dollars. All of us are interested in the welfare of our city, and ", must take steps to prevent sucl terrible destruction, and if anything is to be accomplished work to that end must be begun at once.

The firm, although composed of old and well known merchants, is a new one, and its place of busi- ness is that lately occupied by the Great Red Store. Tho mammoth building is literally packed with goods of all descriptions, and such care and foresight was used in pur- chasing same, that they are just suited to this section. The firm, having only recently moved into it's new quarters. has not yet gotten all of it's goods on display, but as fast as Il large force of experienced and polite clerks can work, this is being done.
 The millinery department, how ever, is in perfect trim, and there is nothing in the line wanting. The presiding gcnieus of this depart ment is Miss RuesteauX, designer who has a national lreputation. Since the age of years this young lady has. until this season, been with the great millinery establishment ol Sullivan x Drew, of New York City, which at once shows that she must indeed be an artiste. Her assistants are Misses MehliDger, Mitchell, Davis and Benton. These ladies are well known to the people of this city.

He saw several hundred of the most beauti ful hats and bonnets, and no two O them alike, and every one or then was designed by Miss RuesteauX and was the handiwork of hel corps of assistants.
