A CONF PLICATED CASE.
TESTIMONY IN THE CLOUD MUIR
 DER TRIAL ALL IN.
Prosecution Statements Not Denied The Mystery of the Bite on the Arm. Will Be Argued this
 Afternoon.

The examination of witnesses in the Fred Cloud murder case was closed at l l o'clock this (Thursday) morning The instructions to the jury were prepared and given at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The case will then be argued by the at torneys.
 The case has proven one of unusu- al interest. The State has proven that Fred Cloud was in the room with Irene Meyer, before the mur- der, and was the last person seen with her. Their case rests on cir cumstantial evidence.
 The defense sprung q sensation in court by proving by Dr. Loetzer- ich that bites made on Irene Meyer were not make by Fred Cloud. The impression on her arm presented a full set of teeth, while Cloud is mi nus three of his teeth.
 The hopes for the defense are that the State has not made out it's case.

Arkansas Gazette.


 The special meeting of the Episco- pal diocesan council adjourned sine die last evening after eleeting the Venerable Wm. M. Brown, Arhdea- con of Ohio, as bishop coadiutor. Arehdcaeon Brown was nominated by the laiety.
 Much to the surprise of nearly every body Rev. John Gass, the dis tingnished rector of Christ church, Little Rock, was not chosen to be bishop coadjutor. Rev. Mir. Class was in no sense candidate for the position, but he was the pronounced choice of large number of Episco- palians in Arkansas. He has great ly endeared himself to them since his advent in this city three years ago. As in politics, however, 80 it is in church election, the unexpected very often happens, and while the failure of the friends of Mr. Class to see their wishes gratified will be Q disappointment to them, they will no doubt be reconciled to the result when they become acquainted with the eminent Ohio divine who has been chosen to come to Arkansas.
 The salary of the bishop coadjutor is not to exceed s, 900 per annum.
 The special session of the council was attended by splendid repre- sentation from the churches in the various parts of the State, and in addition to these Trinity Cathedral was visited by many not delegates who witnessed the proceedings with interest. Indeed the attendance was so large there could be no mis- taking the popular interest felt in the result of the election.

OLD PEOPLES
 CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
They should Carry Year's Brightness
 Into the ReclpIents' Lives.

In the Christmas Ladies Home Journal Edward w. Box writes that he would not be surprised if the dear old ladies of our land should re- bel at tEe customary presents which people send them at Christmas time, gifts that are severely practical, and ever reminder of their years. "I wish at this Christmastidc, he con tinues "every young girl might bring her mind to hunt out some aged saint, and bring new brightness into that life by some holiday thought or attention. A bunch of bright flow. CTS can bring a years sunshine into sunset life. Let the gift be over so simple: the attention ever so small i: but let it be bright let it be sugges- tive of cheer, of hope, of freshness, of youth-something that will bring the sparkle to the eye, the tinge of color to the check. It will be q double Christmas for you: fresh, new Christmas for the old, while 70 you, my girl, it will mean more than you think. We always gain more than we give by associating With old people. The poorest old lady in the land is rich in knowledge for q young girl. It always does q girl good to come In contact with an old lady. The girl may he the most bril- liant college graduate who ever ad- dressed a yaledietory to her class, but in the comfortable chair before her sits one who has learned from experience what the girl has learned from books. As q man takes off his hat to a woman, so I think a young girl should always bow with respect to an old lady. Let our young girls think over this with the approach ing holidays, and seek to throw a bright ray of sunshine into some old lady s life. Let every girl who can, see to it that it shall be no longer said that young people care very lit- tie for old people these days. There are hundreds of dear old ladies in our land whose lives would be heightened by some fresh, bright Christmas thought from the hand and heart of young girl. For many such it would be new Christi mas sunrise at sunset.
