tul capacity of printing 10000 envel

IT anything goes wrong with the feed,

are SO arranged as to give the very
best result with the least waste of ink
possible for a fast press. The object
of the perfected machine is to print
large orders of work which could not

 It is valuable agent in assisting ir the digestion of food and aids the blood in taking up more nounshment than Il would without it.
 It quickens tho circulation of tht blood and respiration.
 It is also stimulating and refreshing (due to the caffeine it contains)

TWAS EVER THUS.
Two Toughs Try.to .sDoe the Chi
 nese Restaurant.

The Chinese are an afflicted race. They seem to have no land they can call their own. They are not gwen rights due a human people. For eigners go to China, and if they arc not treated with reverence gunboats line up before the ports and threat en the nation with destruction. If the Chinese people migrate to anoth- CT country they are made the prey of interruptions and insulting tough and must suffer in silence.
 Only a short while since the Quang Wah restaurant on Third avenue was made the victim of sharpers who received change for a $50 bogus bill.
 Today two ruffians who do not live here took breakfast at the restau- rant and walked out refusing to pay for same. When one of the China men insisted upon payment the two men began an assaultIupon the ces lestial. Two glasses were broken out of the front door in the scuffle. A policeman appeared on the scene and one of the men was caught. The other one got away.
 The Chinaman is as much entitled to his rights and pay for his services as any other class of people, and the Police Depar tment of Pine Bluff should endeavor to protect these in offending and unsophistfcated Chi nese from tha outrages and intru- sions of scamps and ruffians.

s WALKER WHIT EsIDEs.

Perhaps the most pronounced and with all beneficial transition madt in the annals of theatrical history o' America was the acceptance of tho
 school of acting in which intelleetu-
 ality and refinement reign supreme
 as expounded by force of n genius submerged by artifice. Mir. White side has followed closely that school of acting on which Mir. Edwin Booth was such an able exponent and in
 which its adherents study nature and place naturalness paramount in
 the art of acting. It is perhaps on this account that Mr. Whiteside has been hailed as the coming legitimate successor of Mir. Booth. One of Mir. Whitcside's most distinguished tributes is his simplicity of treatment of character which is singuIarly In his portrayal of Hamlet; Whiteside's Hamlet is poetic. The character winch he represents is dark, mechanically, fncinating dreaming hero of poem, he handles the sub ject as near akin to the ideal as pos sible, removed from actual life, and with all within the bounds of natur-l alncss. There is an indescribable charm about the character of Ham, let which facinates by it's own per- sonality and no one who does not possess this peculiar power offacina- tion SO often described as magnet ism" can hope to attain the pinacle of fame in this role. That MT. White side has been conceded by all the critiques ol America to be the Ideal Hamlet now before the American public is really not to be wondered at; aside from his facinating person. allty he Is Hamlet to the "inanor born" endowed with q slender figure ot indescribable grace of that age In life in which the most eminent critiques agree Hamlet appears in Shakcspeare's immortal drama, His intelligent face illuminated by eyes which denote unfanthomable genius, and voice clear and resonate so thoroughly capable Of depicting the moods of the melancholy dane.
 MT. Walker Whiteside will appear at the opera house next Wednesday, evening in Hamlet.
