 He displayed a wonderful pres ence of mind in the beginning of the third act, when by accident all of the scenery on the left wing fell to the floor. The accident caused considerable eommotion, but Mr. Reid soon calmned the fears of the audience while he caused the cur tain to drop so that the scenery could be restored to its position, meanwhile keeping his audience in constant laughter and good humor by reciting stories and telling jokes and anecdotes.
 It was the universal opinion of all who were present that it was one of the best plays and companies that ever came to Pine Bluff, and should Human Hearts visit this city again next season, it can be assured large audience.

An impression in some quarters is had that at the coming "Baby Show" children under six months of age will not be received. This is an error. all children will be received who are from three months to six years old, and children under three months old can enter the contest if the parents should desire to enter them.

A RESIDENCE BURNED.
Pine Bluff Suffered Fire This Morning tor the First Time In
 aIany Days.

This season Pine Bluff has been re- markably free from fires, in fact the fire boys say they are getting lazy they have so little to do. This morn ing at two o'clock, however. they were called from their comfortable bAds to respond to an alarm caused by the burning of the residence of Mr W. NJ. Murphy, at No. 106 Ken lucky street. The boys" respond ed, quickly, but, owing to the great distance and the delay in sending in the alarm the house was gutted and the roof burned off before the depart ment arrived. and thus only the shell of the building was saved. The loss is about $1000. Mir. Murphy was insured in companies repre- senteG by the Bell X Vernon agency. He had insurance to the amount of 5000 on the building and $425 on the household goods. Most of the household effects were saved. 4 de- fective Aue is thought to havecaused the fire.
