ties were William Hermann Apgar of

A TENNIS CAME.

4 tennis team from Little Rock will come to Pine Bluff next Tues day to meet a local team in compe- tition, and decide the championship for the State of Arkansas on the striped court.
 This will be the first public event of the kind ever held in Pine Bluff, and no doubt large number of our people will encourage the Pine Bluff team with their presence and their cheers.
 The game will be played on the '. NJ. c. A. court at the corner of Main and Fifth avenue, and will be hotly contested. Little Rock chose the nature of the event this year. Their athletes have been unfortu- nate here at base ball, basket ball and track work, and they feel confi- dent of sending a team of winners at tennis. Tennis is one of the most interesting athletic contests in vogue today, and the court at the corner of Fifth and Main is the best court in this state, so the event promises to be hotly contested and exciting.
 The game will be called about 3:30, and will probably last until p. m.. as five sets will be played.
 Messrs. Marion Buckley and Bert Ellis will be the Little Rock team. The home team will be named later. After the team event, Mir. Haworth and Mr. Dixon will contest in single three sets.

Our Art Supplement-.

The GRApH1o's Art Supplement- ordered for distribution with our Easter Edition last Sunday failed to arrive in time for distribution in that issue. We therefore send it out today. While the pictures thereon were designed especially for our Easter number, the beauty of these pictures is in no way de- sstroyed by the delay, and they will be found as pretty today as last Sunday.
 The supplement is 9 rare speci- men of the engraver's and printers art, and are well worthy of pres ervation. The full-page picture on the last page is a copy from one of the worlds most famous artists and is wei worthy of frame and place on the wall.

A Declaration of War.

The Senate last evening passed
 the Foraker resolution recognizing
 the Independence of the Republic of Cuba and declaring war 1against
 Spain. The House passed resolu-
 tion last Wednesday authorizing the
 President to intervene with the
 army and navy of the United States for the purpose of putting stop to
 the war in Cuba. The difference be-
 tween the Senate resolution and the
 House resolution is that the Senate resolution recognizes the independ- ence of the present government of the revolutionists in Cuba, while
 the House resolution does not. The matter will now be referred to con ference committee composed of the
 two branches of Congress. The
 House resolution no doubt repre- sents the idea of the administration,
 for President Mckinley is known to
 be opposed to the recognition of
 Cuban independence. It was an-
 nounced from Washington during the early part of last week that the President would veto the resolution if it provided for the recognition of the present government in Cuba, but Fridays dispatches stated that the President had told a member of the Senate Foreign Affairs commit tee that he would sign any resolu- tion passed by Congress within an hour after it reached the White House. Just which resolution will go through Congress it is impossi- ble to forecast, and what will be the Presidents action under the cir stances cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. But the difference is not material so far IS results are concerned. The pas sage of either resolution will un- loubtedly lead to war with Spain. War is now inevitable and actual lostilities is a question of only a week or more. And we venture the oainion that it will be settled be- ,ween the United States and Spain done, We do not believe there will oe any interference on the part ot he European Powers. There can oe no doubt of the ultimate end, for he United States have never waged m unsuccessful war, but how m uch blood and treasure it will cost or low long it will last only the god of battles knows.

Pure blood. strong nerves and muscles, firm, healthy flesh, can only come from wholesome food well di- gested. "Blood purifiers and nerve tonic" do not reach the cause of the mischief.
