Pearls Discovered in Arkansas Lakes
and Rivers in Countless
Numbers.

New Orleans, La, Sept. "a special
to the Associated Press from Helena,
Ark, says the pearl hunting industry
has been exciting the whole country,
especially over this part of the state.
st. Francis river from its mouth TO
Jeffersonville is lined with white peo-
pie and negroes engaged in unearthing
and prying open richly laden mussell
shells. One young man brought a
small bottle of pearls taken from Phil
lips bayou, tributary of st. Francis.
They are darker in color than the or
binary pearls of commerce but are
handsomer in shape and of good size.
All of the chain of lakes in the hither-
to waste st. Francis bottoms are full
of these pearl bearing mussels and it
is expected that the whole country will
soon be engaged in the business to the
detriment of crop gathering. One
planter told your correspondent he ex-
pected to have difficulty in secur-
ing hands to pick his cotton on account
of the pearl excitement.

About the Resignation of DR.. E. Ben

New York, Sept. 3.-Dr. E. Benjamin
Andrews is in the city for the purpose
of consulting with Mr.. John Brisbon
Walker. The unexpected action of
Brown University corporation in re-
uuesting the withdrawal of the resig-
nation of DR.. Andrews, makes it nee
essary that an understanding be
reached between the president of
Brown and the prospective president
of the Cosmopolitan university.
DIR. Andrews is registered at the
Murray Hill hotel. Shortly after his
arrival Mr.. John Brisbon Walker call
ed, aud was with DIR. Andrews for
upward of half an hour. The doctor
declined to be interviewed by report
ers. 1t is believed that the subject
under discussion was the future poll
CIV of DIR. Andrews with reference to
the acceptance of the presidency OF

whether it would be wise for Presi-
dent Andrews to insist upon the ac-
ceptance of his resignation from the

United States Marines Pass Through
San Antonio for the Orient.
A party of nine marines OF the
United States navy passed through
here over the Southern Pacific yester-
day afternoon, en- route from Brooklyn
TO San Francisco. On their arrival at
the Pacific coast they will board the
man-of-war wheeling and sail Tor
China, to join the regular United
States fleet, which consists OF seven
vessels.
While the train stopped here a
Light reporter engaged in conversa-
ton with one of the party. I'VE are
all mechanics and shipwrights," said
he. land we are going to the PACING
coast because there is a scarcity OF
men over there who want to join the
navy, on account of the rush to the
Klondike. You see since the gold few
er started up the people who nave
nothing else to do now go to Alaska
while formerly when man couldn't
find any work he would join the navy.
[ have served two terms in the navy
of three years each and have enlisted
for a third term. When this term ex-
pires l will return home in Minneap-
oils. | have not seen my mother in
fen years-I ran away from home
when was fifteen years old and join
ed the navy. She often writes ana
asks me to come home, and think
will"
There is also a full blooded Indian
in the party, but he is educated ana
speaks, reads and writes English. he
is well-liked and the members OF the
party said they wouldn't want a
"whiter'' man than this Indian. Each
one of the party has credentials as
first class mechanic, which is also In
dicated by the stripes and signs on
their uniforms. Their salaries range
from 500 to $40 month, and all eX-
penses are paid by the government.
'sWell you are just about half way
now between Frisco and New YORK,
said the Light reporter to one OF the
party. when asked of the distance TO
fine coast. New York is just 1874
miles from here, while the distance to
Frisco from here is 1918 miles, lack
ing about forty-four miles of being ex-
actly in the middle of the two Amerl-
can seaports."
..Hully Gee, l thought the trip was
about over" said the mariner. Ihat
lust shows what l know about travei.
ing overland. We make every inch OF
the trip by rail and we are dead tired
of it,
1T seems that it would be a nearer
cut to cross right over on the Union
Pacific. instead of coming through this
way." remarked a bystandefs
"'rhe reason for conHng through
here, you see, is that the southern fa ia,
cific has some kind of contract Win

A Wyoming Earthquake.

About month or six weeks ago. says
the Casper Derrick, our citizens will re-
call the sensation of an earthquake
shock, and many in town and surround
ing vicinity felt the shock and had their
dishes and loose things in the house 10
rattle in suggestive manner. In Bates
Park the shock was much more plainly
felt. Its effect and the seat ofthe earths
disturbance has been located.
While riding last week in search of
range horses Mr. Charlie Richards of
Bates Park made the discovery. He
was at the head of Bolton creek on
bench of Laramie Plains, two miles west
Of Horse Buttes. and came onto small
cracks III the ground that grew larger
ard showed great depth. His attention
being attracted at the strange and inter-
ssting sight he dismounted and investi-
gated. He dropped pebbles in tho
crevices and listened attentively to the
sound as the stones bounded from side
to side, down, down, until they finally
died away in the hollow depth. He
went farther and found the cracks grew
to three feet across nd he could discern
no bottom. He then came onto the
main or principal creek, about forty
feet across, and Mr.. Richards crawled
cautiously up and looked into the awful
hollow. A further investigation show
ed a space of about two acres that had
sunk about forty feet with perpendicular
walls. The sight is worth anybody's
visit, says Mr.. Richards, and any one
passing near should not miss the sight.
