BUFFALO. March 24-The Supreme Court
Criminal TERM Grand Jury. which yesterday
presented q number of indictments against city
and county officials. also presented o report
which was not made public until to-day, Justice
White having refused to approve 1t.
The report severely ~criticisos the Board Of Su-
p~ervisors In the matter Of accepting exorbitant
mileage fees. condemns the Raines law for Civ
ing rights and privileges to hotels that are de-
MED to saloons. and points out curious inconsis-
tencics in the law and ccnsures Deputy Excise
Commissioner O'Grady for making charges
against the police department without any tan
gible evidence TO support them. The foreman OF
Justice Whites refusal. to indorse the report
was based on the. grounds that II accuses per-
sons OF an indictable offence without i~ndictiny
them. and passes structures upon a statute law
which 1t Is not the place Of the jury to do.

THE OPERA.
Tho Appearance or Kraus n sieGfFfed-Nordica
As Drunnhilde.

NJ Brunnhloe.
There Il no tenor role in the whole range o
opera that depends 50 little on vocal art for its
successful Interpretation as that Of SieQfried.
1t is the personality Of the actor WHIT assumes
tho character. and his ability to counterfeit the
ways and manners OF ingenious youth so a. to
perfectly resemble nature. that are the primo
moving factors In q satisfying portrayal OF WaS-
ner's fascinating young hero.
Last night at tho Metropolitan q new
Sieafried came forth in the person OF Herr
Ernst Kraus, the Hrst tenor Of Mr.. Damrosch's
opera company. Herr Kraus had not appeared
In O prominent role since the opening night Of
the season. and on that occasion he was laboring
under the weight Of q severe hoarseness.
It was evident at the very beginning Of tho
opera last evening that the tenor had not been
able to shake OF this evil throat condition, and
before the end OF tho second act 1t became very
doubtful whether or not he would 30 able to
fnish the opera at all.
Under these circumstances It would DO mani
testify unfair to Herr Kraus to pass critical
Judgment on the vocal portion Of his Siear-fed.
1t can 30 truthfully said to his praise regarding
his singing. however. that through all the diff.
nculties Of the situation he did not swerve from

TN THE HEART OF AMERICA"
The neautltul Poem by Mrs. Lnlian Rezeil Messenger Which was Read
 at the Atlanta Exposition.

|
 Many of our old citizens remember Mrs. Lillian Rozell Messenger, for the lady at one time resided in Pine Bluff; and many more of our people know her by the fame she has at tained as an authoress. This fame is national and well deserved, as the reading of Fragments from an 1 Old Inn, "The Southern Cross. will convince the intelligent reader. The latest and, perhaps, the best work done by Mrs. Messenger Is the poem, entitled, "In the Heart of America, :" which was read at the Atlanta Ex- position. The poem is q story of the South, told by Southern woman, in the most beautiful lan- guage. The poem commences with the return from the wars of a Con- federate soldier, who
 Paused beside lonely cabin closed,
 Deserted, still; his old gray jacket worD
 The story told Of why he unused In tears.i
 The gifted authoress, In the poem, pays high tribute to Jefferson, and Washington, Monroe, Lincoln and Lee, and tells how the strife and hloodshed of the Civil War has re- suited in eementing stronger broth erhood between the people of the North and South
 Where time. and song. and faith made
 spaces clean
 For swift white feet of Peace and Truth to
 tread"
 The South, is "in the heart of America" and the gifted and sweet singer, in lines that possess life, strength, originality. beauty and sweetness, Is lavish in her praise of the paradise where "rich odors shed by fragrant tangled wilds and trees in august splendours bending o'er the songful streams fall heart of music told. with songs of mocking- birds, this is the land, the land of beauty, rest, and faith. and dreams!"
 The GRAPHIC is under many obliga- tions for a copy of tho poem, beauti- full printed and illustrated. Among the illustrations are pictures of Lincoln and Lee.

Stery of An Adv.

"You can never tell when an ad- vertisement is dead"
 The speaker was one of the largest advertisers in this country, man whose name is known every where In connection with 'cure" of which he Is the proprietor. He was dis cusslng the general subject Of ad- vertising with seme friends in an up- town cafe.
 'Now you would say that news paper advertisement would certain ly cease to be useful when the news paper was cast aside into the rub bish heap. but I'll tell you little story to show that so long as the paper exists and the type on it can be read It's advertising power re- mains.
 "There walked into my office three weeks ago a woman afflicted with the ills that l cure and who wanted to take a course of treatment She came from way up In Erie County, and said she was prepared to stay here in town and give my skill full opportunity to demonstrate itself. Needless to say, l cured her: got $150 of her good money and sent her home rejoicing, bat that is another story.
 "I asked this woman, as 1 ask all my patients, how she had happened to come to me. She said she had read one of my advertisements. asked her in what publication. She said she did not know. Her hus- band. she said, was in the employe of carpet house. his business being fitting and putting down carpets. He was taking up an old carpet iu order to replace it with a new one. Under the old carpet there was layer of newspapers which he gath cred up and cast aside.
 "He happened to glance at one and his eye fell on the name of the disease from which his wife suffered, 1t being printed in display type there. He read the advertisement, which was mine, tore the piece from the paper, put it in his pocket and took it home for his wife to read. She had it in her pocketbook and gave it to me.
 "It was old and yellow, and there was nothing on 1t to tell from what newspaper it had been torn. But It demonstrates that you can never tell when an advertisement is dead" Chicago Record.

The Pine Bluff Mill & Elevator Co. has on hand large quantity of corn bran which it will sell at wholesale or retail at at very low price. Corn bran makes m excellent feed forhogs when soured and fed as swill. It Is equally effective for cattle and cen be bought for half the prices of corn. The low price of cattle and.hogs this season make it imperative for stock raisers to obtain feed at the lowest values, and all parties engaged in this line will do well to call upon or write the Mill & Elevator Company for prices. l2 10 sWu

Trained ChameleoDs.

Much has been written about the beauty. the stupidity and the vicious ness of the lizard tribe, and want to say word about the intelligence of the chameleon, q little reptile belonging to the great lizard family and in size the antipodes of the alligator, its big brother.
 The incident HOW relate came under my personal observation and demon. strates that the chameleon is susceptible of education and can be ranked with animals olassed much higher ill the scale of intellectual development.
 Miss Henrietta Keene, | little lady of 12 years, living in Philadelphia, was presented with two Florida chameleons, and she at once began instruoting and educating her pets. By continued gen. tleness and kindness she won their con- fidenoe. and at her call they would ralse their heads, listen and then come run ming qsiokly. Soon they responded to their Brinton and Baby-and nodded their little heads knowingly.
 She then taught them to stand up on their hind legs and put their little fore paws together and stand in the attitude of prayer, looking solemn and closing their eyes. At Q signal they would quickly prostrate themselves, roll over on their backs and pretend to be dead, lying without motion until told to rise and embrace, which they would do with every sign of joy and pleasure.
