Rig Black Crook-seIIs Ills Soul For
 Eternal Life.

No play everproduced tells, in such a vivid manner, the old story of right and justice prevailing, as does the "Black Crook" It is a good sermon and in it are extolled the virtues of "Stalacta" and the brav- cry of Rudolph" "Hertzog," the "BIaek Crook, 3 sells his soul for eternal life, and endeavors to drag into perdition "Rudolph,' so that he, (Hertzog,) may longer live. He is foiled by the fairy queen. "Stala- eta" and in theend virtue triumphs, and the wicked arc punished. It is an impressive story and embellished, as it is, with all it's wealth of gorgeous scenery, beautiful costumes and lithsome dancers, represen ting fairies, it has ranked among the high-class theatrical attractions for over q quarter of a century. This is a good play and will be seen for the last time at the 0pera-house tonight.

The "Black Crook" queen.

The 'Stalacta" of The "Black Crook" Miss Helen Douglass, is without doHbt one of the most beau- tiful women on the American stage. Her face is classic and her form is simply perfect. She is pronounced by press and public to be the embod- iment of womanly loveliness, out rivaling in beauty any artist that has ever played the part of "Salac- ta, the Fairy Queen, in this conn- try. Miss Douglass halls from the Eastern metropolis, and is of Ameri- can parentage. She is twenty-one years of age and has been OH the stage three years, making her pro fessional debut after her graduation from the famous Wellesley College.

The importance of having improve ments made on the system of dikes that were built to protect the bank. on which stands Pine Bluff. from caving, is conceded by all; yet our citizens stand supinely by and see valuable property washed away by the strong currents that sweep with unchecked force again these banks, without ever taking the slightest action to secure governmental aid and protection. With the spring rises in the river will come regret on the part of many owners of property along the river front, for then they will see theirprOperty falling in great chunks into the swirling, raging waters of the Arkansas. Regrets, however, will never bring back their lands, for the earth will have gone to aid in forming barfurther down the river.

Dr. Saeeoni reports very peculiar case to the GRAPHIC, and one that should be a warning to others. Ac- cGrding to the Doctor, some few days ago a patent medicine man went out to the Pine Street school and dis tributed a number of sample bottles of a "Pine Tar Syrup" among the children. Dr. Sacconi's boy was one who received one of these bottles, from which the little fellow, without the knowledge of his parents. drank freely. Night before last the boy be- came sick, for a while dangerously so, and it was not until afterwards that the cause was discovered, when it was learned that the boy had drunk nearly a whole bottle of this medicine. A little negro boy, a son of Dr. Sacconi's cook, also became violently sick, and it was he who gave the information about the med icine. Dr. Sacconi thinks that this indiscriminate giving gaway of patent medicines to children should be stopped, and the Doctor is right. This item is published that other children may profit by the experi- ence of little Sacconi.

SHOCKED THE MlSCHIEvOUS BOYS.
Street Car Company Stops the Lads
from 'Jumping" Trains.


Sioux City. Iowa, Aug. 1S.-The Sioux
City Traction company Of this place has
invented plan for keeping small boys
from jumping" Its cars, which up to
date has proved successful. Some time
ago the company began running an ad-
vertising car. within which was an Or
gan so connected with the running ma
chinery that 1t sounded whenever the
car was in motion. AS no passengers
were carried only one man was en-
ployed on board, and his efforts were
insufficient to keep the urchins OF the
city from riding free whenever they
saw fit. The company feared an acci-
dent, and to prevent one finally ran a
rail OF gas pipe around the lower part
of the car charged with just enough
electricity to give a tingling sensation
to the hands Of the youngsters who
grasped It,
The scheme was a success, and the
car went its rounds in peace from that
time until youth who had not learned
how the pipe was loaded ran out at the
junction of the traction company's
track with the Central company's line
and seized the pipe near the front end
of the car. At the same instant he
placed his bare foot on the charged rail
of the Central. The street sprinkler
had Just passed, so that everything was
damp, and about 800 volts of electricity
instantly found their way through the
boys body. He fell with his feet in
front of the wheels of the advertising
car. and but for the prompt action Of
the motorman in reversing his car
would have been manned for life. AS
soon as he recovered from the shock
the lad sprang to his feet with a yell
like Comanche and fled up the street
before his name could be ascertained.
In spite of the traction company's Of
ficer's delight at the success of the ex-
pertinent the plan has been abandoned.
