WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE.
The Y. NJ II. 4. to Remain In Tts Old
 Reliable Pout'on.

A few days ago some 5alk was cur rent to the effect that the Y. M. H. A.. very strong organization, was anticipating @ consolidation with the Bluff City Club. The above re. port was true and it was thought for a while that the consolidation would be effected.
 We were reliably informed this morning that a majority of the Y. M. H. A. members were not in favor of uniting the two organizations, and at arecent meeting the question was unanimously voted down.
 Prominent members of the Y. M. H. A. gave this. as their reason for not consolidating: We are in bet ter financial condition at present than we have been since our organi~ zatlon and the prospects for the coming social season are very en- couraging and the majority of us think 1t best for us to remain in our present position.
 'The opening ball will be given one day next week and we can assure you 1t will be one of the grandest social functions ever given in this city or in the. State

 Little Rock, Ark, ov, 10.-In the cilcuit court of Pulaski county, second division, Judge Jos. w. Mar tin presiding, motion was made this morning by the attorneys for the twelve Jesse Heard jurors who brought a damage suit against the Arkansas Democrat in the sum of $10, 900 each, for change of venue, The motion was argued by Attorney W A. Compton for the plaintiffs and Judge s. R. Coekrell for the Democrat. After hearing the argu- ments in the case, Judge Martin granted the change of venue and sent the cases to the Jefferson cir cult court.
 The damage suits grew out of the republishing in the Democrat of comments from a Phillips county paper relative to the acquittal of Jesse Heard for the murder of s. T. Blair, in Little Rock, said article containing structures on the Perry county jury that acquitted Heard.

It is undouhtedly . fact that our

robust sons ana daughters, and d1d not become weak, complaining iuvalids as a consequence.
 There are probably several reasons for this. One is, that they lived more in the open air, and another, and probably the most influential of all, is that they were less prudish than the women of today Theywere not ashamed to know something of their own physical makeup They were not too nice to take care of their health in a wouanly way. Women nowadays suf- fer untold tortuTes in silence, because of weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism rather than consult a physician, or even talk upon the subject to their own husbands They imagine that troubles of this description can only be cured by undergoing the disgusting exam nations and local treatment insisted upon by the average modern physician. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all dis eases peculiar to Women ill the privacy of their own homes. It does away with the necessity for examinations and local treat meut. 1t acts directly on the important organs concerned, making them strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t fits for wifehood and the burdens of household duties. It allays inflammation heals alteration and soothes pain. IL tones and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the time of expectancy and makes baby's ad- vent easy and almost painless. Thousands have testified to its merits.

One of the best high-elass comedies ever presented in Pine Bluff ffappeared at the opera house last evening when Harry Corson Clarke and company presented "What Happened to Jones'
 This play created a great sensa- ton in New York and the whole east last year when it made its first appearance and was greeted by packed houses at every performance The inclement weather that prevail ed had no effect whatever upon the theater-goers as every one was de- termined to see What Happened to Jones. <
 The theater-goers W ko did not at- tend last evening missed a treat in not seeing the brilliant young come dian, Harry Gorson Clarke. He is undoubtedly the coming comedian of this country and bids fair to rank with Nat Goodwin and Joseph Jef- ferson. His support is very fine and the company Is the best selection 0 actors and actresses ever seen on q Pine Bluff stage.
 The play was received with gener- ous appreciation by theatre patrons of this city The plot admits of a pleasing variety in dialogue and many humorous situations. The story treats of Ebenezer Goodly who is professor of physical culture His interesting family consists of a wife, her maiden sister and two beautiful daughters. They are ex- pecting a visitor in the person Of the Rev Anthony Goodly from Australia, whom it appears has been living in the antipodies for over thirty years and has been in constantcorrespo ence with his maiden si~ ~ter-ip-law. The first act opens with the house. hold in furry of excitement and preparation as he is expected mo- mentarily In the meantime a suitor for the hand of one of MT. Goodly's $ daughters induces Ebene2er to ac- company him to glove contest in the interest of anatomy, and after some persuasion the professor goes. The contest Is supposed to have talk en place in q private club and the DO. lice raid the place
 Professor and the young man es- cape and are pursued by what they supposed was a policeman, but he is none other than spectator, who Is being pursued himself. The man en- ters tha house after the professor and after a few explanations relates how he whipped the policeman and the complications egin. There is Jones. He is the man of the world N ho lives by wits. and who says in explaining his business that "whcn he strikes q sIo " town he sells prayer books but q lively town playing cards. As 1 the police are around and in the house all the time they arc compell- ed to shield Jones and to the family he is introduced as the Rev. gentle man-the brother of Tbenezer;s so the story complieates itself through three acts and works out admirably. Through all this Jones is putting up Il bluff game of love with the maiden sister and a real game with one of the daughters.
