One of the best hlgh-elass comedies ever presented in Pine Bluff appeared at the opera house last evening when Harry Corson Clarke and company presented What Happened to Jones'.
 This play created great sensa- tion in New York and the whole east last year when It made it's first appearance and was greeted by packed houses at every performance sThe 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 Eo did not at- tend last evening missed treat in not seeing the brilliant young come dian, Harry Corson 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 Q actors and actresses ever seen On Il Pine Bluff stage.
 The play was received with gener- ous apprecia ton by theatre patrons of this city. The plot admits of pleasing variety in dialogue and many humorous situations. The story treats of E5enezer Goodly who is u professor of physical culture. His interesting family consists of wife, her maiden sister and two beautiful daughters They are ex- pecting visitor in the person oI the Rev. Anthony Goodly from Australia, whom it appears has been living in the antipodies for over thirty years and has been in constant correspond ence with his maiden si.ter-in-laW. The first act opens with the house hold in u furry of excitement anu preparation as he is expected mo- mentarily In the meantime suitor for the hand of one of Mr. doodiy's daughters induces Ebenezer to ac- company him to glove contest in the interest of anatomy, and alter some persuasion the professor goes. The contest IS supposed tohave tax en place in n private club and the pc lice raid he place.
 Professor and the young man es- cape and are pursued by what they supposed was policeman, but ne IS none other thnn q spectator, who ID being pursued himself. The man en- ters the house after the professor and after n few explanations relates now he whipped the policeman ana the complications begin. There is onea. He is the man uf the world who lives by wits, and who says in explaining his business that ''whcn he strikes slow town he sells prayerb
 lively town playing cards Az the police are around and Tn the house all the time they are compeil- ed to shield Jones and to the family he is introduced as the Rev. gentle man-the brother of Ebenezer; so the story complicates itself through three acts and works out admir8biv-I Through all this Jones is putting up bluff gam. of love with the maiuen sister and real game with one oi the daughters. When the real Rev. gentleman makes his appearance we see What Happened to Jones.

CAN'T SMOKE ON CARS.
New Rule to Affect Passengers on Mer.
 iden Closed Cars.

New Rule to Affect Passengers on Mer-
 iden Closed Cars.
 Following closely on the action on the subject by the Fair Haven and West vile Railroad Go. similar action was announced yesterday in Meriden. The Republican of yesterday says: Super intendent Bristol said to-day that smoking on the closed cars would be prohibited, and that the new order would be put into force at once.
 The company have been considering this move for several winters, and dur force 1t when the closed cars were put on Most of the closed cars are now in operation and the rule will go into eff feet at once.
 The privilege which smokers have been enjoying on the rear platform of the closed cars started about three years ago. It was first allowed on the Wallingford line and gradually extend- ed to all the lines in the city with the ultimate result that 1t has become all most impossible to keep passengers off the rear platform, whether they were smoking or not. With the prohibition of smoking on the closed cars entirely the conductors can keep the platforms clear as long as there is room inside, and In this way give passengers plenty of opportunity to get on and off,"
