The Complimentary German Ten dered Mir. and Mrs. A. Dryburgh By the
 Young Men of
 the City.

Pine Bluffs popular hostelry, Hotel Trulock, never appeared to better advantage than it did last night, filled as it was with the beauty and the chivalry of our city. Every room in the immense hotel was brilliantly illuminated and the elegant dining rooms were beauti- fully decorated with holly and nistletoe. The occasion for such unusual splendor was the fact that within the hotel grand german was being rendered MT. A. Dryburgh and his charming wife by the young society men of Pine Bluff.
 At an early hour carriages filled with young ladies and their escorts began to arrive at the side entrance to the hotel, and soon the reception rooms were filled with lovely women and handsome men.
 Upon the arrival of the guests al the hotel they were received by the chaperones-Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Sim mons, Mir. and Mrs. W. H. Rowland Mir. and Mrs. Chas. Ringlar. Mir. anC Mrs. E. B. Houston, Mir. and Mrs I. B. Johnson, Mir. and Mrs. E Schober, Mir. and Mrs. Jo Smith and Mrs. Fannie White-who made every one feel perfectly at home.

 store

Yesterday at noon the New York Racket store, on account of New Years, closed its doors for the day,
 in order to give it's employees Ia half holiday. About l o'clock in the afternoon little Meyer Solmson, not knowing that the store was closed,
 went there to see a friend. His visit was fortunate one, for leaning over the counter was a negro man, who, by means of knife and a broken lock, had effected an en- trance into the store and was in the actof robbing it. Young Solmson could not detain the negro until an officer could be summoned and the man made his escape, but owing to the good description given of him bv Never. the thief will probably be

A NEGRO DROWNED.
He Fall. Into the River While Protecting Ferry Boat from Floating
 Debris.

The ferry boat captured by Jack Bradley while it was floating down the river at random about 8 week ago, on Wednesday cost a negro his life. The ferry boat was owned by George Templeton, of Wells ferry, which is twelve miles below Little Rock. During the high wa ter it broke loose from it's moorings and the current rapidly bore it down stream. Sunday, one week ago, Jack Bradley, a negro farmer, living above the Bell place, discov- cred the boat and secured a skiff, boarded the vessel and guided it to shore. He learned the name of the owner of the vessel and that gentle man paid him for securing the vessel and got Bradley to employ watch man to protect and look after it un- til he could come for it. Bradley employed negro man on his place to watch the ferry boat. On Wednesday drift began to collect aboat the boat and the watchman, fearing that it would break from it's moorings, was engaged in push ing the drift away when he fell over board into the surging waters and was drowned. His body has not yet been recovered. Our informant does not remember the name of the unfortunate man.

midst. If this education Is not given in
the schools it will not be given at all.
Virgil's Aeneid, with it's dubious moral
ity, and its childish mythology, Is per-
mitted in our schools because Of It's
poetic beauty. But the Book Of Job,
with it's stately grandeur and Its epic
power, is refused a place, and the only
objection that can be raised is that
its morals are clean and Its theory Of
life noble. Hebrew literature Is no
more sectarian than Greek literature,
and for all the purposes Of modern life
1T is Of infinitely more value.
Il want also to take this occasion to
enter my solemn protest against re-
cent decision that the petition known
as the Lords prayer is of a sectarian
character. In the worlds congress Of
religions, held in Chicago, that prayer
was repeated in unison by the repre-
sentatives of all the creeds of earth
There is not phrase or a word in it
that is not as wide as the heart of man,
and that prayer in its completeness Is
deep as the heart Of God. I can con-
ceive Of no parent so besotted in igno-
rance as to feel that the reverent ut
terance Of Its immortal longings can
do other than ennoble the human SOUL
The smoke and noise of party conflict
may obscure these issues for time,
! but confidently look to see the day
when the public conscience will take
alarm at a merely secular, or even aes-
thetic culture, and will ask that the
| heritage OF our Christian civilization
shall not be despoiled of its richest
meaning by an unthinking discrimina-
| ton against the Hebrew ideals in ia
Tor of the paganism of lower forms
of culture" -ias
The length Of the foregoing prelude
| prevented the delivery Of a formal SER
mon, but Dr. Smith added
The state itself has no right to ex-
/ 1st except on moral basis The state
is formed wholly for the purpose of
maintaining government by law And
what is law? 1t is conduct, which is
order, which is ethics. There can
therefore be no state without morality.
The citizen belongs to organized. soci-
ETY. by reason of his morality, such as
it is, and in proportion to his immoral
1ty does he isolate himself from his
fellows, from society, from law, from
the state. A municipal government diff
Its charter is the city's constitution,
its ordinances the citys statutes. The
city government is equally founded
upon law and upon morality, and a
| striking thing it is to see city which
does not consider one Of it's citizens
a man good enough to keep a saloon,
but does think the same man good
enough to make the city's laws! I do
not believe that the viciousness of the
city can be offset by the morality Of the
country. A city should be self-govern-
ing, and its government can never be
on higher plane than that Of the cit
liens themselves. 1t is consequently
the duty of the citizens to say to their
representatives that the morality of
the community shall be apparent in
the city government and in the city
schools, and that that morality should
be based on the greatest exponent of
morality-the Bible"
