HOW PRESIDENT SIGNED.

% Washington, April 2O.-The signing Of
The Cuban resolutions by the President
was an exceedingly interesting event, al.
Enough without special incident.
= Gen. Alger had brought over from the
war department. pen which he requested
the President to use appending his signa-
ture to the document.
The pen had an ordinary gutta peroba
holder, and it was handed to the Presi-
dent by his secretary, Mr.. Porter.
Those present gathered about the table
to witness the act. There was consid-
cradle feeling manifested by them, but
there was no demonstration or congratu-
lation. The small crowd very soon dis
persed, and within ten minutes the nor.
NAL condition of things at the White
House had been resumed.
Secretary AIger remained with the
President and as soon as the rush was
over the two took a walk in the White
House grounds, returning in half an
hour.

THEY WANT TO PLAY BALL.

A six-club base ball league, TO be
composed of Little Rock, TeXark-
ana, Hot Springs, Shreveport, Paris
and Denis0n, Is proposed by local
fans, and the proposition is meeting
with favor. Arkansas Democrat.
Now IL Is a wonder to us that Lit
tie Rock aud Hot Springs base ball
fans are falling over each other 20
Join a league In which Texarkana Is
placed, as they found TO their sor-
row CD last year that our team
could not draw either at home or
abroad For proof, we refer to the
newspaper reports aud interviews
with the managers Of the base ball
teams at Hot Springs and Little
Rock. We don't think Little Rock
and Hot Springs should come here
or invite a team from here there
that could not draw a crowd suii-
ciently large TO pay the guarantee

Suicide SAID to be Epidemic.

DR.. La Rue, the famous French
authority on abnormal pneumonia,
and a professor in Laval University,
has, after exhaustive comparison OF
facts in France, Belgium, England
and the United States, come to the
conclusion the inclination to suicide
is a mania, and is epidemic. There
seems to be strong confederation of
this in our own country where one
suicide-particularly among young
females-fOlOws another. No learn
ed authority has as yet discovered
with exactitude whether malaria is
epidemic or endemic, but it has
been a matter of nOtOrietY for near
ly half a century that the most re-
liable preventive and curative of the
various forms Of malaria is Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters. Restored
patients have not only set the seal
of their appreciation upon it in ma
larial cases, but commend it for
rheumatism, kidney and liver trou-
bic, nervousness, dyspepsia and con-
stipation. It improves both appe-
tite and sleep, and Is a capital miti-
giant of infrmity in advancing
years.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is caused by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of
the mucous Inning OF the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbliug sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inAamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

VALUABLE DOGS.

Mr.. c. A. Pratt, who runs the
Railroad eating house in this city
but makes his home in Little Rock,
has long been known as a man proud
of keeping a kennel of fine dogs and
placing them on exhibition at the
various bench shows in the large
cities. Recently he had three st.
Bernard dogs on exhibition at Kan
sas City, and a son of the late Jay
Gould being present, got stuck on
the dogs, and when he asked the
price of the three and was told
500, 900, he did not 90 into Mysteries
and swoon dead away, but whistled
a few bars from the opera of "The
Dog Faced Man of BOrneO, pulled
out his check-book and gave the
agent of Mr.. Pratt the amount
asked and thereby became the pos
SCISSOR of three of the finest rough
coated st. Bernard dogs in the
world. We congratulate Mr.. Pratt
in securing so handsome a sum for
his dogs and also Mr.. Gould in being
able to pay what he did for the
same.

SOME MORE FAIR TALK.

We are in receipt Of a circular
Iettle from the Pine Bluff State Fair
association, asking that our county
take some interest in the same by
sending in exhibits and lending the
association our patronage and good
will to the amount Of the good that
will come from it to the state. This
association has had one successful
fair, and the stockholders have re-
organized, put more money into the
association and made it state or
ganizatIon instead of a local one,
and there is not doubt but what
it will prove a grand success for the
state and help induce immigration
here that would not otherwise come
to our state. The success of this
fair shows what Texarkana could
do with its eight or nine railroads
centering here, most of them hay-
ing double daily passenger service,
if we would only revive our fair and
put it on a solid financial basis and
keep it there and work for its sue
cess. Let us think about this mat
ter and see what can be done.

the report that a movement had
been started with a view to bring
about an alliance between England

think there is anything in the re-
port, for it would be one Of the
most foolish things this or any
other administration ever UNDER
took. In the first place, we do not
need any alliance to conduct our
our own quarrels. We are able to
toke care of ourselves, and an alli-
ance with some other power, par.
