SCHARWENKA.
The Great Pianist, To Play in Little
 Rock.

Herr Xaver Scharwenka, the cele-
 brated Polish pianist, composer and
 director, will shortly be heard in
 Little Rock. He will appear with
 the Little Rock Choral Club at their
 first subscription concert, which
 will be given at the Capital Theater,
 on Thursday, April 16. To those
 who are familiar with the person nel and doings of the musical world, any comment upon this renowned artist is unnecessary; to those who are not, the following extract from the Chicago Herald will no doubt be interesting: "Of Scharwenka's s genuis and versatility there can be no doubt. Hei is easy in manner, free from apparent effort in his exc cution, and while scholarly in the extreme, his playing shows virility, true musical passion and com plete mastery of the difficulties of technique. Indeed. some of his efforts were ineonceivably brilliant, particularly in the rapid and difficult runs in his Liszt selections, and in the staccato movements of his own compositions; they seemed more like feats of legeidemain than the ac quirments of patient study. From the opening number the pianist demonstrated that he was com plete master of the instrument. His firm, though delicate touch and phrasing is quite beyond ordinary criticism The dash and vigor of his playing completely carried the audience with enthusiasm, and en- cores were boisterously demanded. " The subscription list is now open and those who desire choice seats for this event will do well to com municate with Messrs. Geo. H. Lee, Durand Whipple or H. Walker Hol- lenberg without delay, as the lists are filling very rapidly and the attendance promises to be one of the largest of the season,
 The railroads and hotels have made special reduced rates for those who wish to attend this great event. The Pine Bluff music lovers are cordially invited to attend and the above gentlemen will be glad to furnish any Information desired. Tickets $1.

LEAGUE BENEFITS.
Efforts Being Made to Increase the
 L. A. W. Membership.

Cyclists all over the country are being urged to organize, and the League of American Wheelmen is making strong efforts to increase it's memberships New names are rap idly being enrolled in all Leagues throughout the country. Pine Bluff, as yet, has only about IS League members, when it should not hava less than 250, as it is said Chat there are over 300 cyclists in this city.
 The League of American Wheel men is all organization to promote the general interests of eye ing and defend the rights of wheelmen, to govern the amateur sports, to faeil- itate touring, and to secure the i'm provement of the country and city roads.
 It is the duty of every wheelman to add to the strength of the League by becoming a member, although many cyclists argue that they now enjoy the same privileges as those who have worked for the betterment of cycling conditions.
 The League was organized and the first meeting held at Newport, R. l., May 15, 1880. At that time the bi- cycle had no legal recognition, and one Of the first movements started by the men who formed the associ- ation was one to secure for it the same right that other vehicles en- joyed. Now, it is universally recog- nized as vehicle, and travels with wherever any carriage does. The rider of the present day can scarcely have an adequate con ception of the effort that was ex- pended to bring this about.
 Members are furnished with 8 1 card of membership, which is in it. self a letter of introduction to any officer of the League, and which will obtain for it's possessor many cour- tesies that he might otherwise have to get along without. In addition to this fraternal benefit, there is an other more direct in it's operations. The League has a contract with some of the best hotels in every city and in nearly every town in the United States, which in considera- ton of the business the League is able to throw in their way make liberal reduction to riders who car ry the membership tickets of the League.
 It is proposed at an early day to have every member of the Pine Bluff Good Roads and Cycling Club to be- come member of the L. A. w, and by this means our city wheelmen can secure a charter and have races under the auspices of the L. A. W. The expense and dues amount to nothing, scarcely, and considering the immense amount of benefit cy- clists obtain from organization, every wheelman should at once hand in his name to either Mr. Max Bis eukramer, MT. J. M. Goza, Mr. Frank Fortune or MT. w. D. Hearn.

The annual meeting of the Congregational
Society last Saturday was preceded as usual
by dinner Heretofore the feast has been con-
fined to the members of the church. but on
this occasion a large number of the friends of
the church were invited and to say that all
greatly enjoyed the event is but expressing it
mildly. Tables were spread for one hundred
and when that number had been seated grace
was said by Pastor French. The dinner, which
was of the BEST started off with an oyster
stew, followed by the innumerable viands
which go to make up royal feast, such as
the ladies of this church know so well how to
arrange and serve For an hour or more close
attention was given to the feast and not until
1876 had been served did this part of the pro-
gramme come to an end. After son little
time spent in social intercourse came the an
nual rally and rollca, at which responses
either in person or by letter we're made by
about one hundred. The financial report
showed all bills paid and the year closes up
with no debts. The total amount raised for
all purposes last year was $17G1.S5, which
includes about $500 for the handsome stained
glass windows. The new officers of the soci
