SWEET HARM0NIES..
Prof. Baldwin, the Great Organist, Delighted Large Audi
 ence Last Night.
A VETERANS STORY.

Lovers of music enjoyed another rare musical treat last evening at the second recital given in our city by Dr. MinorC. Baldwin, for the ben eft of the Presbyterian Church.
 Assisted by local talent, Dr. Bald win gave the audience the following program, so faultlessly rendered as to be entirely beyond eriticism:
 1-Toeeata and Fugue. Bach. 2-"Where is My Boy Tonight" with variations, Baldwin.
 3-Solo. Mir. Earl Armstrong. 4-Overturc. (by request).
 5-Selections from Norma" Bel lini.
 G-Duet. Miss Bessie Altheimer, Mir. Kineaid.
 7-Intermezzo.
 s--The storm in the Mountains. Baldwin.
 1-Shepherd's Evening Song.
 2-The Tempest.
 3-Hymn of Thanksgiving.
 fBy request.
 9-Solo. Miss Bessie Altheimer. 10-Grand March. zundei.
 The selections by the organist showed the master hand of the ar- tist, and the audience sat entraneed throughout achnumber. Dr. Baldwin, by request, repeated the storm in the Mountains, which was so enjoyed at his former ap- pearance, and in doing so gave his hearers the gem or the evening.
 The vocal selections by Miss Bes- sic Altheimer, and Messrs Kincaii and Armstrong, were exceptionally beautiful and greatly enjoyed.
 "The Holy City" by Miss Altheim- CT, deserves especial mention, both for the beauty of the selection and it's charming rendition.
 We are glad to say that the recital was a financial as well as a musical success, and feel assured that should Dr. Baldwin return to Pine Bluff he will be greeted by an audience even larger than that of last night.

A ..Per Capita. Conundrum.

Every true worshiper of the silver 'sfetich" believes as the first article of the free coinage gospel that if the quan- tity of money is doubled prices will bs twice as high. This is the essence Of the per capita argument and is considered by both silveritea and fiatists to be the sum of financial wisdom. Second only to their faith ill the sacred words ''per capita" is the belief of the cheap money advocates that the undeniable prosperity of France is due to the fact that that country has about $40 of money for each inhabitant. Attempts to show that In reality the French people are prosperous because of their high level of intelli- gence, their skill in tho industrial arts, their system of land holding and meth ods of cultivation and the great and varied natural resources of the country have had no weight with the one idead silver agitators.
 Since France has nearly twice as much money per capita as the United States, according to tho believers in the theory that the quantity of money fixes prices, goods should be twice as dear in France as in America. Now it is noto- rious that such is not the case. On the contrary, the products of French mills, factories. etc, arc sold so cheaply that it is necessary to impose heavy duties on them to prevent their competition with high priced American goods Will some per capita financier explain why the large volume of money in France does not raise prices in that country?

Wages In Mexico.

There are really no wages in Mexico. All working people take what they can get-that is, what the employer chooses to pay. Wageworkers make so little that there is no incentive to thrift, no stimulation of energy. The classes are the rich and the poor There is no mid dle class. More hopefully perhaps it might be said that Q middle class is just beginning to form. They who see no hope of independence, or even of small homes, naturally have no ambition As soon as they get very little money they quit their employment and squander it.
 Many employers make money, but their prosperity is based on the degradation of labor The men who do the heavy work in the mines of Mexico receive not more than 15 cents to $1 day in Mexican money, or from 40 to 50 cents in actual money for agricultural labor there never is quotable rate; haclemen and walters at restaurants depend almost or wholly on tips" which custom makes small, and the money of the country smaller house servants get from $2 to $5 a month, rarely tho higher price And let it be borne in mind that this is silver money country, and that most things ex- cept labor bear high prices.

TO PEDAL THE OCEAN,
A BICYCLE BOAT TO CROSS TO lv-
 ERPooL IN THREE DAYS.

A Danish Sailor Says His Invention Can
 Make Forty-five Miles an Hour-Has Done
 Mile In Two Minntes-ne Has Not the
 Money to Build One.
 To ride bicycle across the Atlantic ocean from New York to Liverpool n 70 hours is the ambition of Charles Flint, Danish sailor man, who IS re- siding now at 14s Columbia street, Brooklyn. Mir. Flint came to this eonn- try from Copenhagen 10 years ago. He has followed tho sea since ho was I2 years old, and be is now 40.
 Two years ago Mir. Flint read an ae- count of flying machine, and it gave him an idea. He worked on tho idea nli- til he had constructed a boat 90 feet long, 3 feet wide and feet doep, in which was il bicycle attachment con- necting with big hywheei and pro- peller. MT Flint launched this boaa in the Passaic river, at Newark, and Bo5 aboard. He began to work tho bicycle pedals. Tho boat moved ahead. Mir Flint said that he made 31 miles an hour ill the boat.
 It won't so fast that I had to ease up, he said the other day. "It was an open boat, and when I went at the rate of half milo minute it cut under ths waves, and had to slow up or swamp her. 7"
 This boat was destroyed by fire a month after it was made. Now Mir. Flint wants to build unothor boat on tho same plan, but larger. He has con structed the model and claims that when the new boat is completed he can easily make 45 miles an hour i'll it. The new boat will be 40 feot long, feet beam and II foet deep It will hnvo a fly wheel feet in diameter and number of other wheels connected by gearing chains from the pedals to the propeller.
 1T calculate, ' said the inventor, that by my arrangement a man can get ten horsepower out of each leg, making 20 horsepower altogether. That will bc sufficient te send the propeller around fast enough to get q speed of 45 miles an hour, and it won't be any harder to work than bicycle. The ma chinery will weigh about TOO pounds, and there will be 800 peunds of lead on the keel She will have a displacement of seven tons. It will be an easy matter for three men to cross the Atlantic i'll her in about 70 hours As the boat will be all deeeed over she cannot be swamp ed. In smooth water I can take off the matches. Then. too, will have water tight bulkheads in her. {"
 Mir. Flint says that it would be easy to run her by some motor, but that he prefers the man power idea, and that it is perfectly practicable. Tho only thing in the way of completing this boat and getting to Europe in less than three days or over there and back in less than a week is that MT. Flint has not the capital he requires. He says he can build the boat for s700, but he is work ing for the Barney Dumping company and gets only $15 week and has to support wife and two children. To tho lay mind it seems pretty hard for man to send such q big boat through the water at tho speed contemplated, but MT. Flint says that he is certain it can be done. New York World

Rather "A Remarkable Speech.

Congressman Morse of Massachusetts, better known as "the rising sun states man., made a somewhat remarkable speech in the house few days ago which did not find it's way to the official record. Mir. Morse. who is generous and kindly, was arguing in favor of a private pension bill, and endeavored to rouse the sympathies of his fellow members by telling them the sad case of veteran whose application for pension had been denied. "That old soldier, who had fought so bravely for his country, cried Mir. Morse, tdied of broken heart. Yes, Mir. Speaker, he died of broken heart, of broken heart. sir. and he never smiled again; he never smiled .;s::: IT .. s,,ssi Cor . Chicago Times Herald.

THE IDEAL MAN.
Who He Is, What He Ia and Where to
 Find Him.

Who He Is, What He Ia and Where to
 Find Him.
 The following is the response to t toast at tho Philomathians, woman s club of Cincinnati, by Dr Ida B. Ruli- son:
 ''The ideal man is a married man, of course, and ho gives all his salary to his wife. He belongs to no lodge, club or building association to keep him out late at night. He carries no latchkey.
 He permits his wife to run the house after her own fashion, and he makes her his trusted confldant on all occasions.
 "He neither smokes, ohews, drinks, swears nor scolds, and he always takes care of the babies when his poor wife is nervous and tired, and especially when she goes to her club.
 He does not live in this neighbor- hood, however, he dwells only-in the imagination. "-Cinoinnati Enquirer
