previous to his death Mr.. Spence gener-

scope on Mount Lowe, at a cost of
$4,000, and hand it over to the Univer-
sity of Southern California. The gift
was conditioned upon other sums being
contributed, and before the intention of
the donor had taken any material shape
he died. The executriX of his estate re-
fused to carry out Mr.. Spence's inten-
tion on the ground that the conditions
stipulated had not been complied with,
and the regents of the university began
suit to compel the completion of the
gift.
The suit was appealed to the supreme
court, and in the opinion now handed

He believes in the truism that "a poor cigar is dear at any price, and so he never sells such to bis customers. Mr. Altschul also handles fine merschum and French and English brier root pipes, and,

A GRAT T|FY|NC CHANCE BISHOP KING ALLOWS REV. J.F. CARR TO REMAIN IN
 PINE BLUFF.
He is Sent to Riverside Church and Key. Sanders is Transferred to the Lakeside
 Church.

The glad tidings were received from Little Rock today that Rev. John F. Carr was to remain in Pine Bluff for at least two years, to preach the Gospel of Christ whom the good man has served so long and so faithfully.
 At the session of Conference, re- gently held at Camden, Rev. Carr having been pastor of the Lakeside Methodist church for the full limit allowed by the laws of his church, was appointed as pastor to a church at Prescott. Since that time, how ever, a vigorous effort has been made by all of our people to have the Bishop to allow him to remain here, and these efforts have borne fruit.
 Bishop King has appointed Rev. Carr pastor of the Riverside church, and transferred Rev. J. R. Sanders to the Lakeside church. This change has the approval of the El- ders and members of the churches and is gratifying in the extreme to all of our people.
 Both ministers are very popular in Pine Bluff, where they have been 8 power for good.

Smart
 Manager Rosenberg announces the engagement of the distinguished actor, MT. Clay Clement. MT. Clem- ent will be seen this time in 'tThe Bells.' The play is a weird, but beautiful dramatic creation, founded upon NJ. NJ. Erckman-Chatrain' well-known romance, singuarly free from the cumbersome nothings which hamper so many other strong dramas. The play may be termed a strong psychological study, clear-cut as a cameo. It's principal character standing out in bold relief against a background, sometimes sombre, sometimes peaceful and serene. It is a story of conscience. The murderer of a Polisk Jew, made miserable by remorse, while apparently enjoying his ill-gotten gains, hearing con stantly the sound of the bell which tinkled in his ears the night of the crime; finally dreaming of his con viction i'll court, and the confession drawn out by q mesmerist, and be- coming a madman on his daughters s marriage morn. Clement as Ma thias gives a powerful and mas- terly rendition of the old Burgomas- ter. In all his rendition, he never fails to come up to the demands of the moment, neTer overacts, and never falls into the declamatory style. Far from any such thought is his wonderful and artistic charac- teriZation. .Mr. Clement dominates the role with a passive, and at the same time, forceful vitality, which gives a splendid idea of his dramatic ability. His interpretation of Matthias is full of strength, yet, at the same time, none of the mental keenness is sac rificed. The offset of the crime upon the conscience of Matthias is shown in every line, and every gesture, the terrible weight upon his soul is eyi- dent at all times, and yet, at the same time, by continued stroke of genius, which is almost sublime, Mir. Clement conveys this to the mind and eyes of his audience while to the others in the drama he is leading a double life. Nothing shows to them his mental suffering, in their eyes he is the rich Burgomaster. It might  almost be said that Mir. Clement in Matthias is greater than the part he plays. His interpretation is said to be so great that if he were to do nothing else, his perfection in this part would demand for him the highest credit.
