prof. Minor c. baldwin Delighted a Pine
Bluff Audience Last Night.
A large audience of music-loyers
assembled at the First Presbyterian
church last night to hear Prof.
Minor G. Baldwin, the renowned
organist, who entertained his hear
ers with a recital upon the musical
instrument of which he is such a
perfect master.
The recital proved to he a rare
musical and literary treat, for In adj
ditiou to the grand music from the
Organ under the hands of Prof.
Baldwin. the church choir rendered
some exquisite selections. Other
features were the solos executed by
Mesdames Franklin and Anderson,
whose voices are familiar to the
musical world OF our city, n

be as useless and unnecessary as to
attempt to eild refined gold.
The recitation by Mrs. b. A. Hall
was II number that greatly pleased
the audience. The lady has sweet
and highly cultivated voice aud she
is a finished elocutionist.

way deserving of the large patron

Applying a Desperate Remedy.

The Boston 2-year-old was crying.
Not in the boisterous, crude unculti-
waited style of the barbarian youngster of
other localities, but after the restrained
and comparatively decorous manner in
which the thoughtful infant of New Eng
lands intellectual metropolis abandons
itself to grief.
''Waldonia, said the nurse, "think of
the improperly of this! Remember you
are not in the solitude of your own apart
ments but out in the open air. Reflect
that to some extent the eyes of the world
are upon you and endeavor to restrain
your feelings
Regardless of this eminently proper and
reasonable reproof the infantile Bostonian
still wept. The faithful attendant, losing
all patience stopped wheeling the peram-
bulator, stepped around to the front of
the vehicle and shook her long finger at
its occupant.
You bad childl' she exclaimed. :sI'll
punish you for this! I'll never take you
to i4:other lecture as long as I live!'-

Mustn't Share Women.

A strange incident occurred in Bonn
bay recently. A monster meeting Of
Hindoo BARRIERS was held for the purpose
of considering the question of the i'm
propriety Of shaving the heads of Hin
doc widows and thereby disfguring
them for life About 400 BARRIERS hav-
ing assembled, one of them, named Ba
Sajee More, read pamphlet in NAH
ratti, in which he stated that the bar
GERS of old were happy and contented,
but latterly, as though curse had de-
scended on their heads, trade had fallen
off, and they had become poor. The
curse could only be accounted for by the
fact that they were committing great
sin in shaving the heads Of poor, limo
cent widows, thus depriving tneIIi of
their best ornament 1t was against the
Hindoo scriptures to deprive widow of
her hair, and doubtless it was the curses
of the widows that had lowered their
calling The meeting thereupon unani
mously resolved that no barber should
shave widows head, and that if he
did he should be communicated

WaterwOrks and Electricity.

In considering the pumping of water
by the power embodied in the electric
current, that eternal law of nature
known under the name of economy as
serts itself and drives us to the task of
securing the greatest possible results
from the least expenditure of effort and
material; hence, the queAion, now
seemingly presented to the waterworks
manager, of ascertaining whether or
not this new mode of applying power to
the work he has in hand will pay to
use. The fact that it is just now strong
~ asserting itself breeds suspicion in
his mind that it has come to stay and
that he had better look into it.-Cas-

A Wooden House May BE Water Tight.

A Wooden House MAY BE Water Tight.
AS many architects have probably re-
ceived from owners complaints Of leak
ages Of walls and roofs during severe
storms, it may be of assistance, to the
younger practitioners, at least, to know
that they may properly assure their
clients that the experience of the best
architects and builders shows that it
often proves difficult to build a wall or
q roof, even under careful supervision,
which will not permit water to enter
the interior during protracted storms
accompanied by high winds. Even with
the most careful work in filling masonry
joints, minute cracks will occur, through
which the water will penetrate and these
cracks are most difficult to detect. Great
difficulty also is found in having the
pointing OF stone work SO done as to
prevent penetration of water during driv
ing storms. A cheap wooden house shin
gled Oh the outside can with ordinary
care be made watertight, but brick or
masonry walls even feet thick, al
though built with especial care, often
prove to be very vulnerable to wind

POSTAGE STAMP IN A NEW ROLE.
TT FRIGHTENED a Dilatory Lover and Then
Figured In Court

If Er;.btened Dilatory Lover and Then
Figured In Court.
Miss Jane Ashton of HOLLYWOOD,
near Manchester, has discovered an en-
tirely novel use for penny postage
stamps.
Courted by Mr. Samuel Scholes, a
farmer of that part, and craving weary
of her lovers procrastinating habits,
Hiss Ashton determined at last to bring
1..otters to an issue. She was moved
tbcrCto bv more than one consideration.
1 vas not merely the farmers persist

Dle.zl.rg the cotton strike, agricultural

Of 50, Il Mss ashton was herself get

So Hiss Ashton informed him IN de-
cided terms that he must make up his
mind.
81 will do anything in reason,'' said
the farmer.
"Then let us have it in writing, " said
the lady.
Thereupon Miss Ashton wrote on
sheet of paper, "Will you marry me if
I keep company with you?'' and the
farmer, being thus cornered, appended
the words, ''I Will, but added the in
sidious proviso, 81 will if ever marry. "
Naturally Miss Ashton saw in this
act need for extra caution, She knew
her man, and therefore pulled out
penny postage stamp, stuck it firmly on
the document, wrote across it the date
and put it in her pocket. Then it was
that MI. Scholes, impressed by this le
gal formality, begged piteously to have
the fatal paper, stamp and all, handed
over to him. He would give sovereign
for it, he said, and when the lady asked
him, care you going to get married or
are you not?" he wildly gasped out the
words, ''Whether or not, want thee to
set me free.
The closing scene Of the little drama
was enacted at the Manchester assizes,
where Miss Ashton appeared as plaintiff
in breach of promise action. The post
age stamp may have lacked the sover-
eign virtues that Miss Ashton had at
tributed to it. This little object, which
had caused Mr.. Scholes' teeth to chatter
with fear, may have been q mere bug
bear, but the jury looked to the facts of
the case and gave the lady verdict,
though with what seems to lie the rather
paltry sum of e75 damages. London

lead. going out a quarter and killing
off the Genry horse who broke at the
eighth pole and allowed Patchen to
romp in again.
The crowd was plainly disappointed
at the comparative walkover. and was
almost silent when the black horse
was guided under the wire by Jack
Curry. Gentry was out of fix and was
SO distressed at the finish he could
scarcely move.
