ANARCHISTS ACTIVE.

A few days ago papers brought the news that a fortnight before her coronation an attempt was made to assassinate Wilhelmina, the young queen of Holland. A man believed to be an English anarchist stepped from behind q tree as the queen was passing and fired a revolver at her at close range. His aim was poor, and the bullet missed it's intend ed victim, but slightly wounded lady in attendance. The af- fair was kept secret for fear the coronation festivities would be disturbed. The miscreant who fired the shot is under arrest
 Quickly following the attack upon Queen Wilhelmina,came the fatal stabbing of the Empress of Austria by a member of the Paris colony of anarchist, one Luc- chont, a man of Italian paren- tage. but born in Paris. The empress was stabbed With a stilletto while she was walking from her hotel to the steamer landing i'll Geneva. Switzerland.
 Only a few days ago a plot to kill the ezar by gas explosion failed of it's purpose, but ended the existence of several other people.
 There appears to be a general reawakening of the anarchist oi Europe. Three attempts upon the life of royalty in less than that many weeks, one of them successful, would indicate a con certed attack all along the line
 The assassination of Canovas almost year ago, the murder of President Carnot three years before that and this last tradegy bear evidence that anarchism i: an element in the social fabric of Europe that cannot be over looked for a moment Whe1 these enemies of all government would strike down women who really have so little to do witt the government as the Queen O Holland and the Empress O Austria, no ruler in all England not even the good Queen Victoria herself, would seem to be safe With more truth than ever it can be said just now: Uneasy lies the head that wears q crown.

The News does not believe it makes an extravagant estimate when 1t says there are not less than 1 ,0O0 men in Garland eoun- ty who will sell SStheir votes or their influence in elections
 This is fearful declaration, but it is fully justified by evidence. Men who will sell their votes are dishonest. Being dishonest themselves, they aid in electine dishonest officials. This Is a self-evident truth, for no honest man will buy a vote or pay for political influence. This wretched and disgraceful condi- ton of things which exists in our country is fast bringing it to ruin. It is responsible for in efficiency in office, for, no matter whether a candidate possesses qualifications or not, if he puts up the stuff he can get office.

ARKANSAS DEAF-MUTE INSTI-
 TUTE.

TUTE.
 The next session of the Arkansas Deaf-Mute Institute will open on the 5th day of October, 1898.
 This Is large progressive school for the deaf children of the State In it they are not only taught the com mon English branches but trades as we'll, the aim of the Institute being to give each pupil admitted knowledge of some handiCraft, by which he or she can go out into the world and become self-support- ing.
 The school also has an art de partment, a kindergarten depart ment for the very young, and an articulation department, in which many are taught to speak and to read the lips.
 The lawful age of admission range from six to twenty-one years, but the sooner a child Is gotten into the school after reaching the age of six years the better.
 The Institute is beautifully situat- ed on prominent elevation over looking the city of Little Rock. It's altitude is high, its drainage perfect and its water good. Indeed, a healthier place could hardly be found in the State.
 Besides well-equipped corps of instructors, an experienced physi- elan Is employed, who visits the school daily. An oculist and aurist and dentist are also employed regularly.
 Matrons and supervisors look after the little ones out of school and tuck them snugly in comfort able beds at night. Nutritious, wholesome food is provided in ann pie quantities, and in fact every thing possible Is done for the health and growth of the mind and the body of every child admitted into this noble Institute, which a benevolent hearted people have provided free to all the deaf in the State, of school age, sound in mind and sufficiently sound in body not to be invalids.
 The State Of Arkansas means. by erecting and equipping this grand Institute, her child and pride, that the afflicted children within her borders shall have. as far as possible, every advantage in the way of education that their more fortunate brothers and sisters enjoy. and that as far as lies within her power, she will remove the great disadvantages under which every deaf child labors. She wishes to train up these little ones, which she makes her wards, and who would be heathens without education, and send them forth in life intelligent and useful citizens.
 Her noble, charitable work be comes an investment to her of the highest order, of the greatest inn portance. In doing as she does she but cast bread upon the water, which in the educated, self-sup- porting, law-abiding, Christian men and women the school grad uates every year, her wish is real ized, and she is repaid for all her labor and expense an hundred fold.
 This school had upon its roll last session a76 pupils and was crowd ed to its capacity. There will be, therefore, only a few vacancies for the coming term, occasioned by those graduating and the usual percentage of other pupils who will not return for various reasons. Those who would secure these va cancies had better apply at once to Frank B. Yates, Supt.

Air Insulation.

At a recent meeting of the Societe
Internationale des Electricians, M. Bar
barat described the new underground
cables with air insulation employed by
the telephone administration of Paris.
These cables are insulated with paper,
and the insulation is insured by inject
ing from time to time dry air under
the pressure. For this purpose the
compressed air is supplied by the COM
pressed air company; it passes over
chloride of calcium, and is sent into
each cable by means of taps. This
dried air removes every trace of damp
ness and insures the insulation. Some
times the operation can be facilitated
by sending workman to heat it on
the spot. These cables have been tried
over long telephone systems and have
given good results.
