A uninue Exnerience.

To Sir Robert Rawlinson, K. c. B., belongs the unique distinction of being the only soldier who has been knocked out of the saddle by cannon ball and who has survived to tell the tale During the Crimean War Sir Robert was riding with group of artillery officers when he announced his inten- tion of turning back, and, saying Good morning" saluted. At that in- stant shot from the Russian guns came bounding along In front of him, cutting the reins and the pommel of his saddle and throwing steel purse with terrific force against the officers hip bone, knocking him from his sad dle.
 Had not Sir Robert been saluting at that moment his right arm must have been shot off. Lady Rawlinson still preserves the identical 42-pounder which so narrowly missed her husband as an interesting relic.

ASSURED. THE ELECTRIC STREET KY. AND LIGHT co. WILL BE
 ERECTED HERE. $31, 300 HAS BEEN RAISED Mir. Wood Now in Chicago.-Gen. II K. White Raised s1,3Oo
 This Morning.
S31, 300 HAS BEEN RAISED

For several years past Pine Bluff has been almost begging capitalists to come to this city and erect an electric car line and light plant. Several made unsuccessful attempts. Last summer Mayor Bell interested Messrs. Covington and Harrlson, two electric car magnates of Peru, ind, and their attempts were un- successful. These people, after re- turning to Peru, notified the Vest lnghouse Electrical Co.,, at Pitts burg, Pa, of their failure. The Westinghouse people took up the matter aud sent Mr. c. W. Reges- ter, an experienced engineer, to thls place, where he took a map of the city and returned to Chicago. A few weeks afterwards Mir. Henry 9. Wood, a Chicago attorney, came to this city and began subscriptions. Col. $. w. Fordyce, late president of the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way, headed the list with $5, ,000. Others followed and at this writing only g, 700 is needed, as $31, 300 ha. been subscribed by Pine Bluffians.
 This morning 5000 was lacking and Gen. White took the list and by dinner had thirteen $1O0 sub. scribers. The $2, 700 that is needed will bo gotten up this afternoon by Gen. White, and we can safely say the Pine Bluff electric car line will be erected.
 The following are the subscribers and the amGunf aaoh cnhScriha1.

II udson Bay Disnpnearing

The rapid rise of the land about Hudson Bay is said to be the most re- markable gradual upheava1 of an ex- tensive region ever known. Drift wood-covered beaches are now 20 to 60 or 70 feet above the water, new islands have appeared, and many channels and all the old harbors have become too shallow for ships. At the present rate, the shallow bay will disappear in a few centuries, adding vast area of dry land or salt marsh to British territory in America.

WANTED TO SAVE CUBANS FROM STARV-
 ING.
IN DANGER OF STARVING
Gen. Jose Gomez Makes An Appeal to the Red Cross Society For
 Immediate Relief.

New York, Dec. 1.-Gen. Jose Gomez has called on Stephen E. Barton at the Rec Cross heudquar- ters in this city, to ask his aid in sending relief to the sick and stary- ing men, women and children at Las Villas, Saneti Spiritus and Trinidad, in Santa Clara province. The Gen. eral stated that the suffering was more intense there than in any other part of the island, and if the relief did not reach them very soon It would be too late.
 Gen. Gomez said that the million rations that were to be sent by the Government were going to henorth coast and would not reach the dis tricts where thov were most needed. He did noJ ...46e tuc appeal in be half of his own forces, which are on the south coast of Sancti Spiritus and Tunas de zaza, but stated that he had given food intended for them to the starving women and children of that vicinity. He said that hls troops were in a most pitiful condl- tion. Now that the fighting is over they cannot help themselves.
 Gen. Gomez said that he would  lay this matter before the President if he is received.
 The General said that there were about 1, 800 families at Sancti Spir. itus who have absolutely nothing. They fled from the cities into the hills and are DOW existing on what they can hunt. As to the popula= tion Of the city itself, where the Spanish are. the General was unable to speak.
 MT Barton assured the Cuban leader that he would do what he could, but that the supplies which he would send would be only a tenn porary relief. He thought the peo- pie should be put in Q position to help themselves permanently, and that agricultural implements, seeds for gardening, axes to work with, etc, should be sent.
 He said She funds of the Red Cross at the present time are not nearly sufficient to meet the requirement ts of permanent relief. The Red Cross committee has already asked the Department of State as to it's de- sires and will act accordingly.

THE COW.
IA contribution.

The COW is Il four legged animal. The COW gives milk. Pure milk is hard to get. DO well-to-do ppople try to have their own COW. Not many poor widows can have any. Some COWS are pretty, but most of them are very ugly. Cows like green things. They watch for open gates. They are very fond of rose bushes and flowers. Cows don't like to walk in the mud. so people make sidewalks for cows. Crowded cities have 10 do without cows, but they are the delight of country towns. In some countries the COW Is regarded as sacred animal. In parts of Asia the white COW is wor- shipped. The Presby regard the cow as semi-sacred They have cow lot by the side of their church. They supply their preacher with the milk of human kindness. , God put COWS on the Island of Jersey, where they couldn't mess things up. Cows have horns and huok people who in- terfere with their rights.
