Communicated.

The St. Francis County Gun and Rod club failed to convict Toe Richard son, of violating the fish law, Saturday. The defendant established the fact(?) that his mesh was from four inches to four feet square. We are glad to note that the fishermen are so re9ardful of the law, We also presume that the club is glad to be relieved of the necessity of keeping a lookout for infringers of this nature. The various fishermen of the county are to meet here next Sat urday and make an effort to get com. promise agreement from the club, by which we suppose is meant that the club will agree 10 certain things. If all ,hshermen are as hOnest(N as Richard son in adherng to the prescribed speci- tcations in mesh size, there is no need for any meeting for compromise or otherwise. NJ. N. GAINES.

Richardson Acquitted.

At the instance of the St. Francis County Gun and Rod club, Joe Rich arilson was tried in Squire Raiford's court for violating the fish laws of the state. by using less than four-inch la ssh seine. The plaintiffs failed to estaoish the charge, hence Richardson was released. The act under which he was afraigned provides that it shali be anlawftd to use for catching fish for mal ket purposes, any seine or net with inesies under four inches square. The club had information winch they re- Ied upon, and which if true, should h vc c0nvicted the defendant. But it sremed tu have been n case of talking iusn. and swrnling now" and case sonld not be made against him. Rich afdson has an ldea rightly or wrongly that he can do mos any kind of lisbing he wants to in the SL Francis river, Decausr. as he says. that river IS navi gable, and Is government preserve, and subject ouly to the marine laws. He positively deiies the Gun and Rod cub aud the laws of Arkdnsas. and saAs 1t don't make any difference to him whether they iiho hinl 5c. or $500, and that he will take the mattol to the Federal court now ir session in Helena Ie informed the writer Saturday that ne would go to Helena Monday. We .tid not learn whether or not he went, .'nt we are inclined to the belief that Is sOmew hat on the bnff.
 There is anoi her feature of his con- N' r>dtlOn witn ds tnaO some how we ',',ud not aa'manize NIlii his general ai"vado, and thu is that he has sug. s'ed and heartny favurs meeting oi aii hshermen in thIs city to. morrow frr the purupusr eff citing compro- mise win the Gun and Rod club by which thry are io shut their eyes to the violation uf he slate lhw insofar IS tht size If mesh Is concerned, and ,ii"w the hsiirrinsn to use a two.inch ,nesh. ln consideration of which
 wink, lhr fishermen are to bind thrtnseitrS i,ti,iii all game fish to tiir water as soon Us hauled out, and tn destr"y al galii,h and turtles. l pon iIs face this seems q very fair p,uposiiiuu. huL-the Gun and Rod nD cauiut auate me law, and will not c"''",.ntnce it's Violation. Besides tl-re aic many ll,nernrn who would not llve up to the trade made for them b, their brothers. such q proposition Is impracticable.
 And vet we know that when the late grand Jury was in session there was positive proof before that !ody that Il" fish and game laws ha,. been vio. latei .nd they refused to nl d bill of indictment. We are told that it would hu next to impossible to get jury to convict a man for violating these laws. Ana, while to Us they seem wholesome, aud brneticiaI. discriminating against none, they are evidently in disrepute from some cause. which we know not.
 fHm TIMES would like to see a test 'n' 'de of MT. Richardson's case, and if Ina has been vi"iating these laws, he VIII do so again. and no doubt the evi- dence can be had. II properly sought.

BARBER-SHOP LITERATURE.

College Professor Complains of the
Sporty Style of Newspaper.
"Why is it," asked mild-mannered
college professor of friend by whose
side he sat waiting for his turn III
bar ber-shop-"why is it that barber
shops, of every grade and in every To-
cality, always provide for the delecta-
ton of their patrons the most lurid Of
sporty publications? l don't look
li!lc a sport, do II" And the friend
looked him over, and with a droop OF
the corners of his mouth and an eleva-
ton of his eyebrows agreed that he
didn't "Yet,' continued the professor,
whenever I sit down in BARRIERS
chair the barber Immediately thrusts
into my hands a sheet of pink pru-
rience, or some less highly colored but
more openly indecent illustrated abom-
nation. Some few hotel barber-shops
have a stray copy of a daily newspaper
lying around, but 1 have yet to find a
barber-shop where sporty papers are
not the chief literary entertainment
provided for patrons with which to be-
guile the tedious waits for chance at
the chair. Is there any reason for it,
or is it just trade custom for BARRIERS
to subscribe for such publications
when they open their business, just as
they order soap and shaving papers?
Is it that all the thousands of mild
hammered, everyday citizens who are
not sports shave themselves, and
there is therefore no need of catering to
the literary taste of the casual GUS
toner of that kind? But if, as | mag
inc is the case, the BARRIERS customers
are men of all classes and calibers
why don't the BARRIERS provide some
thing to balance the spectacular effect
at least, of the sporty papers that
stare at one from every chair? A copy
of some good monthly magazine would
not cost as much as a sporting weekly
for instance, and would be really a
treat for dozens of customers, where
the superfuity of pictorial abomina
tions are really offensive. But didn't
intend to suggest how a barber should
run his business. I only started to
voice my wonder as to just why barber
shops and lurid sporty papers should
always have to be associated together
in ones impressions. Can you think
of one without thinking of the other ?"

The origian of an old Saving.

1t is curious bit of literary exercise
to take common saying and trace it
back to it's origin. Take the common
saying, for instance, Cali that glitters
is not gold" 1t is found in current
literature everywhere and in a dozen
different forms. Dryden renders it, Cali
as they say, that glitters is not gold;"
Spenser says, Gold all is not that doth
golden iseem;" Lydgate has the same
idea in the words, Cali is not gold that
outward showeth bright" Chaucer ex-
presses it in somewhat different phras-
eology; Middleton has it, Cali is not
gold that glisteneth," and Shakespeare
says, Cali that glistens is not gold" Go
little further back and the same ex-
preston is found in the monkish col
lection of proverbs, and there is no
doubt if classical scholar were to set
to work with the determination to hunt
the proverb down, no matter how long
it took, he would find it in Latin, Greek
and most other ancient and dead Ian
guages. 1t is a natural Outgrowth of
sarcasm as applied to fictitious show
and is no doubt as old as the science
of metal working.

The Clock Trade Is Rusbinp.

The manufacturers of clocks have not
been so busy a. any time during several
years as they are at present. The fac
tories devoted to the production of sill
yer plated ware are running full time.
with large compliments of operatives:
the watch manufacturers have this year
given their hands shorter vacations
than usual, and are increasing their al
ready large forces the jewelry manu-
facturers of Providence, New York.
Newark and other centres are running
their factories to their utmost capacity.
the importers of art goods, pottery and
bric-a-brac are receiving extensive
shipments of goods; makers of cut glass
are producing many new patterns and
are working every frame in their
plants. Thus the anticipation of a
golden shower during the fall season
is evident throughout the manufactur-
ing branches of our industry, and that
the manufacturers will not be disap-
pointed all signs indicate.

Mrs. Sarah Hope.

Mrs. Sarah Hope died at the resi-.
dence of her daughter, Mrs, Sturgis,
on Friday night, Feb. 26th, and was
buried at New Oregon cemetery on
Sunday, the 2Sth.
Sarah Jane Kerr was born IN Albany,
N. Y, about 1So2-the exact date is
not known. She was married to John
Hope when 16 years of age. Her
husband was soldier in the war Of
1S12.15, and entering the Union army
in the early sixties, was killed III the
battle of Gettysburg. There were
born to them three sons and five
daughters, of whom only one son and
two daughters survive, most dying
young. They removed to Iowa IN
1869. Mrs. Hope had united with the
Baptist church IN the state of New
York and came to the Cresco church
on letter IRON there. She was
punctual in her religious duties,
always present at the church services
as long as she was able to attend.
Owing to deafness she had been de.
prived Of hearing the word preached
for many years, and so qniet and
secluded had been her life that hel
old friends Of years ago had ceased to
know that she was living. She had
longed for her release for many
mouths, but was patient amid her suf.
fering to marked degree.
Services were held at the house on
Sunday at 2 p. m, conducted by the
pastor of the Baptist church.
"Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labors, and their works do follow
them, "-Rey, It:I3,
