Quarantined Against Memphis.

The Pine Bluff Board Of Health are taking prompt and effective steps to prevent the yellow fever reaching heee from Memphis. The fact being well established that there is yellow fever in Memphis, quarantine regulations will be at once enforced by this and other places.
 The President of the Board of Health, yesterday afternoon, direct ed that officers be placed on all trains that came in from Memphis last night, to prevent passengers from getting off at Pine Bluff. Today at 10 o'clock a5 m. the Board will meet and declare 8 regular quarantine against Memphis. It is the general opinion of the members of the Board that business interests had better be impaired to some ex. tent than that the safety of the health of our citizens should be en- dangered. It can be only short while, now, before cold weather will make the infection of this place by yellow fever impossible, ard the Board of Health will incur no risks in letting the fever in here by pas sengers arriving from infected points.
 The Little Rock Board of Health have also established rigid quar- antine against Memphis, and pas sengers from there are prevented from landing.

IL isn't often that we feel like
mourning in public, but the sadness of
the hour ard the sombreness OF the

The polo pennsnt, after which we had
hankered for many day, which waved
and snapped right uuder the noses OF
our team, which was as confidently
counted ours as the air and sunlight
and water, this same polo pennant, we
repeat, is not for US and the rampant

only for It's whale catchers and its pro-
f.n,ty, has the & ittering emblem OF
superiority and will keep it until the
winds and raius Of another Spring are
visited upon us. Alas We want no
more of polo this wear. want to
forget, to hide our heads and ruminate
upon the mutabilIty Of human expecta-
ton. We long for the day when the

MAN OF ONE IDEA.

Mr.. Cleveland has just left the pill
lory of execration, abuse and chastise-
ment, and Mr.. Mckinley has stepp' d
into his shoes, and his scolding and
criticising has begun.
Two weeks ago every paper In the
land gave him the glad hand on the
day of his Inauguration. Today there
IL open revolt and positive growing
and fault-fnding. For instance, the
Ledger" of Philadelphia, and the
Times" and the Record" all support
ers of the new President last year be-
cause they believed him to be for sound
money" last week in considering HIS
drst brief message to Congress take
strong exception to its logic, one of
them going so far as to predict, that II
oe perseveres in his scheme as outlined,
and the Dingley tariff passes as pro-
posed, that there will be an adverse
majority next year in the Congressic nal
contest of million votes.
There is certainly music in the air.
Mr.. Mckinley is, apparently what he
has always been, man of one idea,
and that the tariff. In other words he
has no conception OF the fallacv of the
endeavor to secure prosperity by taxa
ton. He does not appear to count for
anything the fact, that the cost of run
ning this government last year was over
81 for each man, woman and child,
which is seven times what it was one
hundred years ago. In his message he
does not intimate that economy, honest,
common seuse economy might be ex-
-rcised to the extent of million and
half weekly, without interfering q
particle with the efficiency OF the gov
ernment machinery. Nor does it strike
HIM, that there is anything abnormal
in one hundred and seventy five mil
lion dollars lying idle in the National
Treasury.
Mr.. Mckinley may be able to figure
ont how by an increase of duties On
wool aud woolen goods, that every
body must use more or less, that the
revenue will be increased One thing
is quite cortaln: The prices of these
goods will be increased as Mr.. Isadore
Strauss, of New York, observes, from
25 to 30 per cert, without any compen
sation in quality or IN increased wagel
with which to buy them.

A TELLER'S MISTAKE.
How $500 In Gold Was Lost and Found
A Bank Examiners Story.

How $500 In Gold Was Lost and Found.
A Bank Examiners Story.
Beware Of the man who processes never
to make mistakes. The caution is general,
but Is particularly applicable to banking
men. A national bank examiner who was
oonversing recently with reporter says
that as rule errors are of daily occurrence
In every large bank. Most of them are at
once corrected, Of course, but now and
then really serious error seems for time
TO be utterly inexplicable. Upon this point
the examiner recalled an interesting case
which happened under his own eye.
A curious error was discovered some
years ago in one of the banks OF this city
let us call 1t the Sixth Natio ional-while un-
der examination. I was weighing the gold
In the vault with the teller and found q
bag marked $4,000, which weighed about
"a troy ounces less than 1t should have
done. opened the bag and counted $4,-
500 only.
A search was made, lasting far into the
night, for the missing $500. The teller's
cashbook showed no covers" or "shorts"
of any large amounts recently, and his
character for honesty and integrity was
unquestionable. In my report to the comp.
troller 1 spoke of 1t as one of those errors
which will sometimes occur, but which for
the time being are inexplicable, and added
that as the teller was heavily bonded no
loss could occur to tho bank.
pass over the mental sufferings Of the
teller and of the officials also, who feared
there might be thief in the bank, but
could not tell whom to suspect.
Two or three weeks afterward I was
weighing the gold in another bank then
under examinatiOn-let us call il the Sew
enth National-and found bag marked
S., 600 which weighed S., 500. The seal
showed that it had come from the Sixth
National and had been received by the
Seventh in payment Of clearing house ex
changes. explained to the cashier the
error discovered in the Sixth, and he
promptly sent for the teller and restored
him his money.
The mistake had been made In the sim.
plest manner possible, as you may sup.
pose The teller Of the Sixth had two open
bags of gold on his counter. One contain.
ed e5, 900, as he knew, and the other "a, 500.
At the close Of the days business he put
$500 into the wrong bag, tied and sealed
up both without first weighing them, la.
beled each $4,000 and put them into his
safe. It Is not necessary 10 say that nc
such carelessness on his part ever occurred
again.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

ORIGIN OF SAM WELLER.


Samuel Vale, an Actor, IL Supposed TO
Have Created the Character.
The great scarcity of the early numbers
Of "Pickwick Papers" is not difficult to
understand when 1t is borne In mind that
only 400 copies were printed Of the first
part, which was published ON March 81,
1885. Before the appearance Of the fourth
number there was some idea of stopping
the issue, as the expenses were found to be
In excess OF the receipts But in the fifth
number Sam Weller was introduced, and
the work at once sprang into unbounded
popularity.
While nothing positive has ever been es-
tablished on the point, it Is held by some
writer's that the original of Sam Weller
was Samuel Vale, who acted the part of
Simon Spatterdash in farce called 1.-THE
Boarding House" and made this character
o great popular favorite The odd whim.
sicality Of Vale's novel comparisons Is best
understood on reference to the part set
down to Spattcrdash in the farce.
Among his queer comparisons are: "'I
know the world, as the monkey said when
he cut of his tail F" "'I am down upon
you, rs the extinguishcr said to the rush
light" "'Come on, as the man said to
the tight boot. al am oil over perspira.
tion, as the mutton chop said to the grid.
irOn." "'Why, here we are all mustered,
as the roast beef said to the Welsh rabbit. -
Vale introduced these peculiar compari.
sons in his private life as we'll ar upon the
stage, and from 1880 to 1885 this style OF
expression became widely popular. It Il

ity to charge Dickens with being mere

NOT A POPULAR MEASURE.

NOT a POPULAR MEASURE.
The disfavor with which the Dingley
bill is being received by the Democrats
Of Congress does not argue we'll for the
popularity OF the measure. Some bitter
words have been banded to and fro
during the House debate and the short
speech epoch is augmented during the
latter part of the past week did not aid
the friends of the cause to any appre-
ciable extent. 1t is potent to all who
have made o through study of the
Dingley instrument that. no matter
how much pruning takes place before
the bill finally becomes a law, il will
not be passed in form that will meet
the approval Of any Democrat OF the
old faith.
The Dingley bill is not discriminat-
ing measure. Although il does not 60 to
the extreme lengths OF the Mckinley
bill, IT is a general high protection
scheme and does not show the careful
devisement that we would expect to

promote the interests OF all classes

instructive only as il shows the extreme
partisanship of this instrument. II is
