 Maj W. B. Street., of Lake Village, was a visitor to the city Tuesday
 Attorney A. H. Foster is adding some improvements to his place OF Second avenue.
 Judge James F. Robinson, of Pine Bluff, passed through the city last Saturday en route home from Chicot County.
 Capt. Frank Loyns reports the river trade between Greenville and this place much better than usual at this season.
 Bids were let for the Panther Forrest enlargement work on Tues day, and McBain Bros, will get the work, their bid being $23 99 pro- vided Lieutenant Newcomer does not conclude to put up the work with day labor.
 Capt. Kerr and Mr. Wm. White, of the Louisiana State Board of Fgineers, are in the city engaged in cross s=sectioning the levee in our tront, preparatory to building it up to standard gage. No work on our entire leYee is of more impor- tanee than this and we hope to see good results from their visit
 We are advised that the contract for building the Cypress Creek bridge on the Dumas and Pendle- ton road was let to Contractor Ridgeway of Dumas, Mir Ridgeway having filed his hond yesterday, aad expressing his intention of commencing work at once.
 Mir. W. c. Haley was in the city last Friday and Saturday,. While here he made this office pleasant visit, aud informed us that he had made an improvement on the cattle guard recently invented by himself. The one he now has is much simpler and can be manufactured much cheaper.
 The colored people of this city conceived and executed a scheme last year by which they could erect a church house on their lot back of town without much cost to any of their members. They planted a crop of cotton to be cultivated and harvested by the members and the proceeds were to be used as above stated. We understand they reali zed something over $500 from the crop, and will soon begin the erection of the First Baptist Church. This plainly demonstrates that our eolored people are enter prising and entertain a religious feeling.

for goods for Joseph Antonio. claiming

the goods closely questioned him as to
where he expected the goods from and
what the packages contained all of

The committee on banks and bank
ing gave public hearing at o'cloc
upon the act to reduce the tax u
State savings banks. There was sue
a large attendance that the commute
was obliged to adjourn to the rooms {

gor. w. NJ. Chamberlain, c. 1. Barke
and ]. F. Boothby of Lewiston, an
Alfred A. Montgomery of Portland, as
sistant treasurer of the Portland SaI
ings Bank.
The first speaker in favor of the re
duction was l.. c. ornish, Esq, of Au
gusta. He said that petitions ha
been sent in by all of the so saving
banks of the State. There is a grea
necessity for reduction as indicate;
by Bank Examiner Timberlake.
Savings banks are not moneyed inst
tutions and the trustees who appea
here today simply represent the 100,
900 depositors in these banks. TIL
earning capacity of the banks has beef
reduced within few years from an
per cent. until it is now but ITO pc
cent. In those days we paid but "a o
1 per cent. on all investments. A
present we pay q of l per cent on in
vestments inside the State and e of
per cent. on investments outside tn
State. The bill we desire passed make
the tax on investments outside tn
State y of / per cent. and on invest
ments inside the State rs of l per cent
Edwin Stone of Biddeford was tn
next speaker, and argued that a move
ment in the direction of reduction o
savings bank tax would benefit tn
small depCsitors.
Weston Thompson of Brunswick wa
next called by Mr.. Cornish, who direct
ed the hearing, and spoke in behal
of the inexperienced depositors. VIII
could not make advantageous invest
ments with the small amounts the
individually held
Other speakers We're John A. MOrri
of Auburn, S. J. Walton of SkOwhe
gan, and Judge A. II. Walker of Bridg
ton. Mr.. Thompson said, in conclusion
the average rate of interest paid ha
declined from 6.95 in 1870 to 3.72 in 1885,
The decline has been gradual bu
steady. 1t appears that the saving
banks are paying more than one-hal
as much as the amount of the direc
tax assessed by the State upon the tax
able property therein. and over one
quarter of the entire revenue of tn
State from all sources.
Hon. j. p. Bass of Bangor, appeare
lin opposition to the bill and said tina
! it would be unjust to. reduce the ban
tax when the State tax is to be in
creased He advocated a commissio
to investigate the matter fully.

voted to refer the act to incorporat

The Local Charitable Movement Had
to Be Aband oned Yesterday.
To the great modification of the local
Indian famine relief committee the move
ment to send ships laden with grain from
the United States to Calcutta has had to
be abandoned.
Yesterday the whole thing fell through,
so to speak. and the promises made will
not be fulfilled. The reason was summed
up in two words no money"
With free ships, free grain and pros
pective free transportation, the relief
scheme had TO be abandoned because it
would cost too much money to bring the
grain from the Western States to this
port. The cost of collecting the food
would have amounted to very large sum,
and this the committee was unable to col
lect because of the demands upon the
generous of this City on behalf of the un-
employed now here assem- bIed.
Wherever the committee went for monev
it found that the people were more in
clined to look after those on the Pacific
Coast wno are in need of assistance than
those of other rich countries who are un-
fortunate. However. Treasurer Lilien-
thai will send the $500 already collected
to the relief ommittee in London.

sectarian teachers advocating their own
beliefs, each teaching that his doctrine is
the best and that all the rest are false. At
such time, in the midst of search and
strife after religious growth, the Lion of
the Sakya Race, the supremely enlight-
ened, all-perfect Buddha appeared on the
scene.
"Buddha's doctrine is an ethical code
and a transcendental psychology.
What did he teach? After centuries of
oblivion European Orientalists have given
out the doctrines of the great teacher;
they have made the declaration that his
code OF morality Is perfect.
"His chief tenets are these:
One-That the existence of suffering is a
truth; that this suffering exists in manifold
ways; that birth, decay, dissolution of the
physical body, painful separation and painful
association ali bring sorrow.
Two-That this suffering is due to the un-
quenched, unsatisfied, selfish Desires the
longing to existln the enjoyment of sensual
pleasure, the longing for continuity of per-
sonal existence in the blissiul regions, the
pessimistic longing for standardization
This is called the truth of the cause of suffer
ing.
INSTRUMENTATION from sorrow, the eter-
nal, unconditional. absolute peace. the end of
suffering aud sorrow. This is called the truths
OF cessation of suffering.

(d) right conception of the law Of cause and
effect; (b) right thought; (c) right speech
(d) rlgnt action; (e) right living; n right
endeavor; (g) right discipline of mind. This
is the NOBLE eightfold path, the middle way,

MRS, STANFOR
GOES EAST
1t Is Given Out That She
Will Sell Her Wash
ington Property.
The Rare Pictures, CurioS and
Bric-a-Brac to Be Brought
to This City.
Will Witness the Inauguration Of
McKinley-Her Private Secretary
and Henry Lathrop Go Along.

Mrs. Jane L. Stanford left last evening
for Washington, D. c., where she will re-
main several weeks. She was accom-
panied by Henry Lathrop, Mrs. Bothnel,
her secretary, and maid and butler.
The lady and suite went in the private
car Stanford, in which she and the Sena-
tor used to travel for so many years, in
going to New York, Washington and
other places. 1t is favorite car with
her, and it is said that she would not
think of travelling in any other, so much
is she attached to it, because OF the pleas
ant memories surrounding it.
Mrs. Stanford had made several prepar-
ations to 60 previously, and each time the
car was victualed and otherwise stocked.
but little matters of business interviewed
and caused postponement She will
now go straight through to Washington.
and will arrive in time for the exercises in
connection with the inaugural of Presi
dent Mckinley. Probably none will be
more welcome at the White House than
the philanthropic lady OF California.
The great object, however, of Mrs. STAN
ford in going East at this time, as given
out, is 10 sell the great mansion in Wash
ington. Mrs. Stanford has been closing
out different properties lately. She has
turned over the California-street residence
to be used as an art gallery and place for
popular lectures in connection with the
university. 1t is in this, so it is stated, that
she will concentrate her treasures.
The curios brick-a- hrac, paintings and rare
things from ut home and abroad, now in
the Washington mansion, are to be put in
the big house on the hill for the univer-
sity. Eventually the works of art and
curios in the MenIo mansion will go there
also, but that Will probably be long time
in the future.
! But meantime the Washington property,
aside from that to be moved here it is un-
derstood, will be sold.
Mrs. Stanford is disposing of great
deal OF her property now besides the Cali
iornia-street property which is to be used
for an art gallery and place for lectures
after her lifetime, and which was DECIDE ed
by her to the university recently. She is
| advertising the sale vi her extensive lands
In Tehama, San Luis Obispo, Contra
Costa and Santa Clara counties. The lady
wants TO rid herself of the responsibility
OF holding all these properties. The great
Gridley. Palo Alto and the other ranches
given originally BY Senator and Mrs. STAN
ford to the Stanford University were worth
100000 These bequests OF Mrs. STAN
ford are additional.
Mrs. Stanford left last night at $50
O'Clock
