IN ARKANSAS. AN ACCOUNT OF A MEMORABLE BALL GAME PLAYED IN
 PINE BLUFF.
Tha Chicago News Tells How on a Certain Occasion Pine Bluff
 Sports were Victimizad.

The Chicago Netes, of recent date, in it's base ball columns, tells of the game played by the Cairo and Pine Bluff teams, in this city few years age. The Neacs version of the game is as follows:
 'The cranks of the different National league cities are always prone to think that their section of the country is the only one where Skere is any real base ball, but they deceive themselves. There are dis tricts where the fever rages just as fiercely and where the ieraek of the base hit and the plunk of the reso- nant error creates jus t IS much disorder as anywhere on the trail from St. Louis to Bost3n.
 Down in Pine Bluff Ak, there is a ball club that is the pride of the natives. A colored man, Wiley Jones, said to be the richest negro in America, runs the dub, and the citizens of Pine Bluff have for three years been willing to swear that .heirs is the real elub-ths best one that ever trod a diamond field.
 Charles Gompreeht, the Texas leaguer, who is in Chicago Just now, tells a tale of how the natives of Pine Bluff were vistimized. Last summer, says Mr. Gompreeht, the sporting men of Cairo, H., having heard many things of the prowess of the Pine Bluff nine, arranged a game with Mr. Jones. The colored magnate announced that he would give the Cairo team a game at Pine Bluff, would bet all the money they could cover and would give them the whole gate eceipts if they won.
 The Cairo sports were wise in their generation. They collected players from far and wide and, lgolkg to St. Lotus, rented battery presumably Kissinger and Doug lass from Chris Von der Ahe. Then armed with team good enough for any company, the Cairo men, accompanied by hundreds of betting men from St. Louis, appear ed in Pine Puff. All Pine Blu9; all the surrounding country, thousands of people from Texas and Missouri -an enormous auditnce, in fact was on the ground. The money flowed like water. The game was started and Kissinger moved down the Pine Bluff champions like bowling tenpins, while the Cairo mercenaries murdered the Pine Bluff twirler's curves. Terrible was the shock and great the loss of money. Wiley Jones was out $7, 0O0, the editor of the local news paper lost $2,OO0 and the crowd about St, 900 more.
 Wiley Jones was nearly crazy, but his business sense reasse.ted itsell during the long hours of the night. He had game scheduled with 9 team from some other Arkansas hamlet and he promptly hired the Cairo gang to represent him. The Cairo boys accepted his money, skinned the other club alive and won back Jones currency.
 Such is ball in Arkansas.

SOME STANDARD BANK HINTS.


Old as the banking business is, there
are hundreds of people who do BUSH
ness with these institutions who are
very careless, very unreasonable, and
sometimes very ignorant. The follow
ing lists of "Dont's" will help deposit
tors to avoid making mistakes:
Don't draw a check unless you have
the money in the bank or IN your pos
session to deposit.
Don't test the courage and generosity
of your bank by presenting, or allow
ing to be presented, your check for a
larger sum than your balance.
Don't draw a check and send it to
a person out of the city, expecting to
make it good before it can possibly
get back: sometimes Geographic ad-
vice is asked about such checks.
Don't exchange checks with any
body; this is called "kiting," and is
soon discovered by your bank. 1t
does your friend no good, and discred-
it's you.
Don't quarrel with the teller because
he does not pay you in money exactly
as you wish; as a rule. he does the
best he can. In all your intercourse
with the bank officers, treat them with
the same courtesy and candor that
you would expect and desire If the sit
uations were reversed.
Don't give your check 10 a stranger.
This is an open door to fraud, and if
the bank loses through you it will not
feel kindly toward you. When you
send your checks out of the city to pay
bills, write the name and residence of
your payee, thus: PAY to John Jones
& Co., of Boston," This will put your
bank on guard if presented at the
counter.
Don't commit the folly of supposing
that because you trust the bank with
money the bank ought to trust you by
paying your overdrafts.
Don't suppose you can behave badly
in one bank and stand well with the
others. Remember, there is clear
ing house.
Don't think it unreasonable if your
bank declines to discount an accommo-
dation note. If you want an accom-
mediation note discounted, tell your
bank frankly that it is not in their
definition, a business note.

DO YOUR CHILDREN THRIvE?:

1t is the business OF children to eat
and grow. If you have a child that
eats well but does not grow, if its ap-
petite is variable, you have cause to
suspect worms. There are apt to be
other symptoms. Face is pale, eyes
are dull. sleep is broken, the child
picks at it's nose and is restless and
fretful. Use Whites Cream Vermi-
fuge. Every worm will be destroyed
and the child will be able to grow and
develop as nature intended. Price,
% cents. Sold by E. Reuss and G.

accomplish this purpose the first step is the
spreading Of information and arousing Of
popular sentiment for the restoration of our

in the worlds commerce. Various plans,
such as subsidies and differential duties,
will probably be laid before Congress.
In order that q wise choice may be
made. But that the true method Is not

litical heir was Low. The thought of turn
ing over the government of the Greater
New York to the provincial and Philistine
influences controlling Low was utterly dis
tasteful to the great mass of the people.
Accordingly, tho almost unexampled
popular exultation on election night was
not merely rejoicing over the triumph of
Tammany, but also joyful expression of
relief because the Low assault on the cos
mopolitan spirit Of this community had
been defeated so utterly.
The whole Low movement, from begin.
ming to end, was hopeless. A candidate
for whose election PARKHunsT was praying
and STRONG was stumping was bound to
be rejected by the prevailing sentiment of
New York; and the future of the Republi-
can party of this city is brighter because it
was saved from sharing in the odium Of
that intolerable candidacy.

Americans in Aleppo.

Our legation at Constantinople very prop
demand for the recall of two American mis-
sonaries from Aleppo. The Porte's objection
to their presence seems to be that their er.
rand of distributing relief to the destitute
will probably cause disturbances. But. IL
80, that is a matter which reflects discredit
not on the missionaries, but on the Sultan's
Government.
Their mission is not one Of politics, but
Of philanthropy, Of humanity. One of the
points we have to settle with the Porte 10
whether our missionaries in Armenia and
elsewhere in Turkey shall be allowed to
60 about their work Of mercy unhindered,
or shall have their property destroyed and
their lives endangered. Our Government
already has presented claims for damages
on this account, and after one or two moro
pressing international matters are settled,
those claims will he enforced.
There is one ground on which we properly
might take steps for having the two re.
lief missionaries withdrawn, namely, tho
lodging of convincing evidence against
them; but thus far there are not even any
specific charges against them, and the Porte
wishes US to relieve it from possible trouble
in doing Its own duty. Compliance with
that demand might help to make out case
against our missionaries in their claims for
damages for the past destruction Of their
property. It would also, perhaps, be the
entering wedge for the recall Of all Ameri-
can missionaries.
