diplomacy and family connections, had
influence with the foreign courts.
1.-THE current Immediately turned In the
Kings favor. He at once took advantage
of the changed attitude OF the people TO
travel extensively in his kingdom, and
visited many important centres. He was
received everywhere with great enthusi-
asn.
A little later England. France. and
Russia guaranteed the Greek indemnity
to Turkey, and through the diplomacy OF
Russia Prince George. the Kings second
son was appointed Governor OF Crete,
practically insuring the final union OF
Crete TO the Greek kingdom. The old
party of Priconpis the only great states
man modern Greece has produced, began
to rally once more. profiting by the dis
comfture Of their great opponent. Del
yannis. and under the leadership of Count
Pheotoke. of Corfu, to reorganize and
gather strength.
THE leaders Of the party have the
sympathy and support of the King and
the ministry, and 1t seems likely that in
the fall elections the new party, with
its principals of reform, will come into
power. They desire the revision OF the
Constitution, the establishment of a
second chamber-their Parliament at pres
ent has only one--and such a regulation
of the royal prerogatives that the Court
and the Parliament may work together
more tremendously and effectively"
GREECE'S FUTURE.
What is your opinion regarding the
future Of Greece?"
The Doctors brow knitted. about this
IT is difficult to speak," he replied. There
seems to be every prospect of internal
reform-a more efficient army and navy,
greater excellence in the department OF
state, a deepened interest Of the King in
his people. and loyalty OF the people to
their King and improvement of the ma
tional finances under foreign control; but
fear some of the gains have been dearly
bought.

INTERESTING PEOPLE.
1.-THE modern Greeks are an interesting
people. clever, versatile, loquacious, demo-
cratic patriotic, temperate, hospitable,
courteous. They are born politicians
They seek political preferment above al
other honors. Their chief failing is that
they do not know how 10 sink personal
interests in a great, common end. There
is among them no genius of organiza-
ton such as has made the strong gov
ernments of modern Europe. They once
had a wild ambition, one that had come
to be designated the great idea'-to see
Hellas the strongest power or the Orient,
with Constantinople as its capital.
But the late war rendered to dissipate
such fond illusions"
GAS you were in Athens not long after
the close Of the Graeco-Turkish war, now
tell me how the result affected the Greek
people,"
"Why, at first they were dazed. They
saw their fond dreams OF new Marathon
and a new Thermopylae shattered, their
trusted generals incompetent. their states
men inefficient, their King apparently in
different to the national calamity. Before
the war they thought one Greek equal to
ten Turks. They saw instead their armies
retreating in disgraceful manner, and
their ministry yielding without a struggle.
But the Greeks are not easily discouraged.
They dropped their old leaders. Delyannis
and Rail-, whom they blamed for what
some called 'humbug-war.' new min

Mr.. E. d. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga, says
that his daughter, Ida, inherited severe
case of Eczema, which the usual mercury
and potash remedies failed to relieve.
Year by year she was treated with various
medicines, external applications and in
ternal remedies, without result. Her suf-
ferings were intense, and her condition
grew steadily worse. All the so-called
blood remedies did not seem to reach the
disease at all until s. S. S. was given,
when an Improvement was at once noticed.
The medicine was continued with favor
able results, and now she is cured sound
and well, her skin is perfectly clear and
pure, and she has been saved from what
threatened to blight her life forever.

MAY BE ERECTED HERE,
A Move Being Made to Build State
 Orphans Home in Pine Bluff.

Rev. j. R. Ca,on returned from Clarendon Friday afternoon, where he went 10 attend the Methodist conference that is being held in that city. He had very important ob ieet in view when he left thIs city, and that was to interest the Metho- dists in building a State orphans home in Pine Bluff. He said the home would be erected here if the people of Pine Bluff would take the proper interest in it. With little push, determination and small subscription from Pine Bluff, itmay secure the home.

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW.

Pine Blufians were treated to a taste of ''the beautiful" the first of of the season, about 8 o'clock Satur- day night.
 Old Mother Goose picked her flock above and the feecy flakes fell rapidly until tue ground was fairly mantled in white. The snow was accompanied by a biting wind, fol- lowed by quick drop ip the mer eury. At 4 a. m. the snow was about four inches deep on the ground and still falling.
 The weather bureau predicts still colder weather for today with a cold wave in the west portion of the State.

eral Carroll In time, General Carroll discovers the identity of Dlrand, and Miss Thompson learns the true story of her fathers death aad that General Carroll loves her. The love that he once bore for her mother before she married Thomp- son, is now lad at the feet of the daughter.
 MT. Clay Clement as Gen. Carroll adds another to his gallery of sue cesses. The beautiful lines for which Mr. Clements plays are not ed, receive an additional charm from his rendering of them.
 Mrs. Clay Clement, as Miss Arzelia Thompson, had difficult emotional part to portray, and sue. eeeds most admirably.
 Miss Nell McEwen, as Grace, Carroll's niece from the East, sus- tained her part most excellently and her efforts were received with ap. plause. While her part is not so prominent as in the New Domin- ion, she has nevertheless a most delicate and difficult role which she performs most cleverly. She was called before the curtain to respond to an encore and was the recipient of many floral offerings.
 The orchestra of the Emma War. ren Co. furnished music for the oc- easion, and the appreciation of the audler ce was manifested by very liberal applause.
 The occasion was the most enjoy able one at the opera house this season, and was marred only by the severity of the weather and the un- comfortableness of the house, which was not adequately heated.

A GRAND DISPLAY IN THE JEFFERSON EXHIBIT
 BUlLDlNG.71
WELL WORTH A VISIT
Some Interesting Displays of Cotton, Minerals, Vegetables, Etc.,
 J.B. Johnson, Manager.

Few Pine Bluffians have an idea how interesting it is to make call at the Jefferson county exhibit building, in court square aud spend a half hour viewing the many relics, curiosities, etc., that are to be found there. A Graphic representative made visit to this well kept and neatly arranged exhibit last Satur- day. It is in charge of that efficient manager, Capt. J. 5. Johnson, who explained al exploits, etc; aud the few hours spent were not regretted by the reporter, as the visit proved a most interesting and beneficial one.
 There are exhibits of almost ev- erything imaginable, including cot ton of every variety from the short to the longest staple in which Jef- ferson county figured so prominent. ly at the Worlds Fair in 1893, car rying away the first awards in each; vegetables of every description, minerals of all kinds, stuffed birds, reptiles and last but not least the school exhibits. Here are exhibits of the work Of the pupils of the dlf- ferent schools. These were donated by Superintendent J H. Hinemon and Rev. J. M. Lucey, who have spared neither time nor money iu making their displays deserving Of much favorable commendation. The building is being made more beauti. ful by the constant labor aud hang ing of handsome pictures, etc.
 MT, Johnson requests US to state that the exhibit is always open to the public and especially visitors.
 More interest should be taken in this rarety, we say rarety because we believe we can safely say this ex- hibit is the only one of it's kind in the State, and is kept up at great expense 10 the county in maintain ing the same.
 TLe most important of the exhib- its are now en route from Omaha, where they were placed on exhibi- tion during the exposition.

RUBBER NECKING" PASSED
As the Ladies are Complying With
 Request to Remove Their Hats.

Pine Bluff theater goers will have no further cause for complaint of "Oh those high haas, etc., for Man ager Senyard is doing all in his pow CT to make everything comfortable for the visitors at his play house, and has so far been successful. He placed the following sign up od the curtain and gave same notice on the programs: Ladies, Please! Remove Your Hats" We are very glad to chronicle the fact that almost all the ladies are willingly complying with the above notice, and it is being greatly appreciated by the manager and tthe opera house patrons.
 Manager Senyard in his endeavor to have the ladies remove their hats has been careful not to give offense, but he hopes they will appreciate the propriety of it. It is exceeding ly selfish in woman who wears one of the large style of hats to keep it on at the theater during the per formance. It almost entirely cuts off the view of the poor unfortunate behind her.
 The wearing of mammoth mil. llnery is especially objectionable when the house is crowded, for then the individual who happens to be planted behind one of them is unable 10 change his or her seat and must be satisfied with an occasional glimpse of the stage, or suffer the effects of "rubber-neck" in at temping to get an unobstructed view of it. These big hats will do very well on the street, but they are certainly out of place at the theater, and if custom does not require their removal common politeness should

 The appearance of MT. Clay Gle ment and company, among whom is Miss Nell McEwen, ot this city, served to bring out large and fashionable audience at the theater last night, notwithstanding the severe inclemeney of the weather. Briefly the story of the play is as follows:
 In the prologue Lieut.. Thompson is forced to fight a duel with a baekguard, Philip Durand. Lieut. Joseph Carroll. of the Confederate army, acts as the second of Lieut.. Thompson. The latter does not fire at his enemy and is deliberately shot down by him. His last request to his friend is that the truth con corning his death be kept a secret from his wife, who has just become the mother of a little girl.
 The action of the play proper be- gins twenty-one years later. Car roll is now General Carroll, court ly old mana recluse and scholar whose thoughts are given much to ancient philosophies. Durand is on the scene, the avowed lover of Miss Arzella Thompson, the daugh ter of the man he murdered.
 The girl, although betrothed to Durand, is really in love with Gen
