ITS LETTER ID BE BORH
 LUCKY THAN RICH, BECAUSE LUCK OFTEN BRINGS BOTH RICHES AND FOR
 TUNE.
A Poor Pine Blufian Inherits {
 Fortune and Wins a Bride.

There is story going the rounds that sounds like fiction, but it is nevertheless a fact.
 Sometime ago a poor man came to Pine Bluff to seek work and fortune, and his efforts have been attended with extraordinary success, for he has found both in the course of q few months. Sometime ago q man by the name of R. ". Arnold came to this city a poor stranger and appli- ed to MT. Ben Silbernagle, the pro- prietor of grocery store at the West end of Barraque street. just across Brump's Bayou, for work. Mir. Sllbernagle gave the man em- ployment as the driver of a delivery wagon. Shortly afterwards the man, Mir. R. w. Arnold, turned over to his new employer some valuable papers. These in turn were delivered
 by MT. Silbernagle to the legal firm of Foster X Coleman, with instruc- tions to ascertain the value of the same. After q short time the attor- 1 Ineys discovered that these documents
 were of great value, because they proved that the possessor was the sole survivor of u rich uAcie i'll the "Old Country" !" Mr. Arnolds claim was pushed by his attorneys and some six weeks or more ago he came in possession by inheritance of some $22,64000 ill cash. This was mentioned exclusively by the GRAPH Ic at the time.
 In the meantime Mir. Arnold was making progress along other lines.
 He was not only pushing his claims
 with vigor for wealth, but was also in pursuit ofspiritual happiness, and
 was urging his claims with vehe-
 mence for the hand and heart of a
 Pine Bluff damsel. He was as lucky | in the one case as i'll the other, and l before having heard of his success in
 his pursuit of material wealth in the "OId Country" had received afavor- able answer from his lady love in
 this country.
 His fair lady-love is Miss Yogel i, sister-in-law to Mrs Ben .Silbernagle,
 of this city, and their engagement
 will be formally made public next | Sunday.
 l The GRAPHIC extends in advance \ its congratulations to this lucky son Eof fortune, and we trust that the lucky star which guides his destiny will never grow dim.

CHARITY AND PESSIMISM.

A woman, writing for a Chicago newspaper,
in showing up the good deeds of women along
the lines of charities, speaks of our age as the
"distressing age Of pessimism" The lady is
looking at only one side. In that which gem
orally concerns society, the optomst is always
first pessimist.
The physician who announces the presence
of disease is never an optomst until the cause
IS discovered and removed simply because dis
ease germs multiply and grasp the healthy un-
til the whole community is involved.
The distressing pessinists of the age are the
foremost workers in the sick-room, but none
the less do they cry out against causes.
The charitable work of our sisters is highly
appreciated, but if they would all turn pessim-
lists in that they would fight the conditions that
call for charities, their work would count for
more than now, because we could, in that case,
lessen the number who stand in need of char
ity. As in fatal diseases, the number who are
objects of charity continually multiply.

MRS. COUGAR TALKS.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.


, The present deplorabe conditions, the speak
er averred were largely due to our principles
of legislation But the political party that
would come into power four years hence would
institute some sweeping reforms. The McKin-
leyites have told us that we are on the eve OF
prosperity. WE'LL it was rather long even
ing. We look and long for the daylight.
The speaker referred to the visit Of Senator
Wocott to Europe in the interest of bimetal-
lisln, and told bow the Rothschilds had refused
to enter into any plans with nation that had
repudated such financial policy at the polls.
The Republicans could have better gained their
points by allowing the election of Bryan.
Lyman 7. Gage came in for share of criti-
csm. The financial policy promulgated by
the coming secretary of the treasury showed
him to be either a knave or fool. He would
contract the national currency to the utmost
limit, and flood the country with bank notes
based on interest bearing bends He would
place the currency of this country i'll the con-
troll of the national banking power. The man
had no conception of the actual value of dol
lar. The coming administration meant the
absolute rule of the money power, and the
people would be obliged to submit for four
years, while the cry would keep going up:
ssGive us work or give us bread"
81 made tour of the poverty districts of
Cleveland this afternoon" said Mrs. Cougar,
at the close of her lecture, "and | was appalled,
at wlat I saw. I have been through the slums
of the Irish cities of Cork, Belfast and Dublin;
visited the old salt mark Of Glasgow, in Scot
land; made a trip through the notorious East
London sums; have made tours of the worst
districts of all the principal American cities;
but no degree of poverty and suffering and
degradation has ever been brought to my notice
that can parallel the conditions at present ex-
listing in Cleveland
"In the relief work here, l would favor the
union of forces. Much is being done to afford
relief, but the effort is too scattering. There
are too many people at work. Greater concen-
tration is needed, and this cannot be accom-
plished without consolidation.
"Some philanthropic capitalist should erect
decent tenements, constructed OH sanitary plans,
to be rented to the poor at a reasonable rate.
A fair return OH the investment would be Sc
cured, and this alone should appeal to the bus
mess man in these troublous times. This
movement in the direction of habitable tene-
ments would aid materially in the solution of
the vexed social problem. The home must
vet be the final salvation for the slum-dwellers."

ARMOUR'S GIFT.

The Kansas City dailies have had great
deal to say about Armour's gift of carload OF
meat to the poor Of Argentine, but they have
said nothing about the advance in the price OF
meat-for instance, an advance of 2H cents a
pound on steak.
The people "pay the freight" but Armour
pets the credit. See?

SILVER DEMOCRATS MUST GO.

E. M. Lockwood, the postmaster at Buring-
ton, has lost his official head, because he is an
'offensive partisan" He is a silver Demo
crat, and had the courage to express his opin-
ions. His successors is Lester D. Watrous, son
of John Watrous, revenue collector. There is
great indignation in Burlington over the affair.
The order has gone forth, and the heads Of
silver Democratic postnasters will fall thick
and fast.
