WALKER wHITesIDe.

Thr attraction at the opera house next Wednesday, night should com mand the attention of every local reader Of Shakespeare. Mir. Walker Whiteside's returns to Pine Bluff, al- though not q stranger. still under circumstances which practically place him in q new light before his admirers As matter of course hundreds of our thnatcr-goers are acquainted with the professional career of Mir. Whteside, and no doubt they arc we'll ady.sed of the fact that the good judgment which many of them were called upon to pass during his local appearances has been well verified in other cities, and now that the lapse of time has never been doubted, stands, 1t is claimed for him practically, alone in the delineation of number of char acters of Shnkespearean literature. Mr. Whiteside's "Hamlet' will be recalled by many of our readers as dH ibtCl pitltttlOti W HUI, tNCH HtNiidt years ago was pronounced great. At that timo his "Richelieu" called for loud plaudits, and the same tributes rang out over his 'Shyloek 7 and "ltichard IfT'. Only n few weeks have elapsed since the New York dailies sounded his praises, and he returns to this city, as has been stnted, with great reputation and more extensive prestige, and having earned the title of one of the best, tragedians upon the American stage today Mir. Whiteside has the ad- vantage of youth, united with exper fence, and hc is gifted with n sense Of analyetical perception which easily enables him to give interpretation of Shakespearean roles which have found great favor in the minds of profound readers of the bard, and which have evoked the serious criti- eisms of the best learned men.

 She nYisundeFgaOO1.

Many singers fail to realize the im- portanee of distinct enunciation, and the charm of q beautiful voice is often lost by the listener who is vainly strug- gling to catch tho meaning of the song A young woman who considers her- self an admirable ballad singer one day received a severe shock from the crit icism of an old lady who had formed one of her audience. Among other bal lads the singer had rendered Rory O,More" in her best style and had re- oeived much applause.
 The old lady. who sat i'll the frons seat in the littlo hall where the enter- sainment was given, looked at first pug zled and then distressed as the familiar song proceeded, and at the close of the concert she waited to speak to the young woman.
 "My dear, she said in quiyering yoice, "I remember when Rory O,Moro' first came out \ have never been singer myself, but have always been interested in music, and l am sure ! never heard the words as you sang them tonight. I am not deaf. My hear ing Is unusually good, but will you tell me where you get your authority fol
 He poulticed the hook, And she salted it downY
 For. though I cannot remember tht original words, am sure they were no like that. :"
 The young woman's face was crim son as she showed the old lady her copJ os the eong and pointed to the words | He bold as the hawk
 X And she soft as the dawn.

It waz supposed thas he would thereupon and thence take two shots at the bird. Noi a bit of it He lots5ed 10th barrels, walked close up tc the pheasant, put the muzzle close to him and discharged both barrels into him, with fHel co quin. {" The next day tho Duke of Vel lington told the keeper that Malakhof was a great man who had smoked t death 500 Arab men, women and chit dren in cave, to which the gamekeep CT replied: Like enough, your grace He'd be capable of anything.

JAIL DELIVERY,
NINE PRISONERS OvERpowER JAILOR GIBSON AND CAIN
 THEIR LIBERTY.
The Jailor Was Betrayed by a Trusty-Aa Exciting Chase After the Fugitives
 One Recaptured.

Une Reeaptured.
 Last night about ' o'clock nin, prisoners confined in the Jefferson county jail effected their escape They were:
 Will Harris, charged with assault with intent to kill. Harris is the negro who attacked Clarence Phil pot.
 Squire Hanabal, for grand lar ceny.
 Will Hoskins, for grand larceny
 Bob Jackson, for intent to kill.
 Jack Young, assault with intent to kill.
 Amos Poe, burglary
 Joe Johnson, burglary,
 Tip Whiteside, gaming.
 John Arbrough, robery.
 Jailor Gibson was locking the prisoners Up l0f the night. He had all behind the bars but Bob Jackson, who was trusty. It is Bob Jack ron's duty to look after the fires and perform other duties. For that reason he is not locked up as soon as the others. Mr. Gibson called to Bob to come and get ir, after he had locked the others in. As Jack son passed by Mr. Gibson's back he passed his right arm around the iailor's body and said Come on bullies. With that three other prisoners sprang at Gibson and threw blanket around him. Mir. Gibson is a fine specimen of man hood, but he was overcome by num- bers. The prisoners were all able bodied men, too; Bob Jackson, the traitor, measuring 6 lift. 1 in, and weighing 195 lbs. While four of the men held MT. Gibson, six others ran. Mr. Gibson's pistol was seized byethree of the prisoners and taken from him. In the tussel he fell over a barrel and bruised his right side. This was his only injury.
 Nine of the prisoners escaped from the jail, and one, William Rus sell, was held by Mr. Gibson. He gave up the game easily when left alone with the iailor, saying, ''Cap'in, I'll go back"
 The majority of the prisoners went down State street to Will Harris house on Fifth avenue, where they seperated.
 Constable Philpot was telephoaed and came to the scene with his three blood 7founds. Two were followed to the river bank, where they had undoubtedly crossed, going in the direction of Sherrill. The dogs took another trail and a lively race was run out the Monticello road.
 Fences were taken down and fields crossed in the race; woods and swamps were passed through.
 Three of the fugitiyes had stop ped at the home of Will Hoskin's father. But when MT. Philpott and his assistants came there they had gone. About 2:3O this morning, out beyond the Baker place, about 15 miles from here the dogs ran Hos kins into church and he was cap tured
 The pursuit was not continued longer, as dogs and horses were run down, about 25 miles having been run. The party returned to town.
 All of the party of pursuers are loud in their praise of Mr. Philpot's blood hounds. MT. Triplett feels confident that within day or two the remaining eight negroes will be captured.
 Fluke Flemming, negro rapist, whom the prisoners were especially anxious should escape, did not get out of his cell.
