SMOOTH LITTLE TOTS
Keep Well Supplied With Nickels
 By Their Slick Work.

About two months ago promi- nent citizen Of this city. while walk ing down a prominent thoroughfare, Was suddenly halted by two well. dressed little girls, ages probably ten and twelve years respectively. They were scraping a pile of dirt with their hands, when one looked up and spoke, saying: "Mr. has you found 'ur nickle2' The gentleman answered in the negative. The lit- tie glrls then began to cry, telling the man that their mother had sent them on an errand and they had lost nickle. The eharitably in- clined gent went into his pocket and gave the little girls a nickel. No more was thought of the affair until two weeks afterwards, when en route to town on a different street this same man came upon the same children in the same position and they began to cry and tell hlm the same story. He told them that he didn't mind being worked once, but he would not submit to the same trick second time. He gave them 8 talk and left them. Thinking the advice given them would have an effect, he did not care to estigate the identity of the smooth little tets.
 This morning while again bound for his duties in town, he ran upon the same scene. He grabbed both little girls by their arms and said he would carry them to school and find out their names. They both began to cry at the tops of their voices and offered the man a whole handkerchief full of niekels if he would not tell on them. He insis ted on taking them, but they squalled in such pltiful manner the we'll known citizen let them go.
 From the large amount of nickels these little girls offered, one would judge that they have been work ing their smooth game for good length of time and have accumulated very nice sum of Christmas money.

An Eccentric Hernine-

Dr. Mary Walker, who created such an excitement few years ago by her peculiar dress, and who Is widely known, possesses a medal of honor for services rendered during the war. The records show that the medal was pre- sented to her June 13, 1872, but at the war department the clerks hold that the records in this case are wrong. They say Secretary Stanton himself gave 1t to her, and one of them says he saw the presentation. She served as surgeon during the war, but had no commission.

AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED BY COUNTY CON- TRACTOR JOHN M.
 ORACLE.
COMMITTEE HERE TODAY.
Consists of Sheriff Kavanaugh, Prose-
 cutting Attorney Gray and /
 Editor Smith. k.s

County Contractor John M. Oracle is in the city today in company with Sheriff Kavanaugh, Prosecuting Attorney Jas. A. Gray and Hon. w. Theo. Smith, editor of the Tribune, all of Little Rock. They are en route to New Gascony and Hanna berry, where they, in pursuance to an order from County Judge Mills, will investigate the present condi- tion of the Pulaski county eonyicts and their surroundings. At the former camp MT. Oracle has thirty and at the latter forty-one convicts.
 The investigation was demanded by MT. Oracle of Judge Mills and grew out of an article ipublished in the last issue of the Tribune, in which black and brutal charges were made against MT. Gracle and his employees.
 The report will be awaited with considerable interest, as much of sensational character has Of late come before the public relative to the same, and the eondemnatory re marks of Gov. Jones in granting pardons have awakened a great de- gree of interest.
 MT. Oracle says that the charges made against the farm are grossly exaggerated by those who present petitions for executive cIemency, and that he does not permit excess i've punishment. He is anxious that the fullest and most complete exam ination be made, and says he has nothing to conceal. Editor Smith, of the Tribune, wants to be correct at all times, and says he will make all separations and correct all he has said if it tulns out to be false.
 The party left this afternoon on the 3 o'clock tram for their destina tions, where they will seeud a couple of days Investigating

LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
The Event Will be Grandly Cele-
 hrated.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 21.-Yestes- day was the anniversary of the rais- Ing Of the flag at New Orleans, when the transfer of the Louisiana Pur- chase was officially made to the United States. Some time since the suggestion was mace that the states now included in the purchas- ed territory take steps to appropri- ately celebrate Louisiana Purchase Flag Day, but it looks as if there will be no formal observance of the anniversary previous to 1903, when the centennial of the purchase will be magnifcently celebrated in this and other cities. For the centenni- al celebration plans are already un. der way and early next month rep resen tatives of the States interest ed will assemble in this city to determine the place and character of the important celebration. The present session of Congress will be asked to indorse the project.

IMPERIALISM. SOME ESTIMATES OF THE ENORMOUS COST TO
 THIS COUNTRY.
HEAVY PENSION INCREASE.
This Will Be the Result of the Repub- lican Scheme of Foreign
 Expansion.

Washington, Dec. 20.--It is of course far too early to estimate with the accuracy of budget what the total cost of empire will be. But there are several items-not all, nor by any means all-that are now in full view. Some of these items are obviously necessary in the immedi- ate future. Others are in the form of plans in the various departments ready to submit to Congress. 9th CTS have been suggested by the President in messages to Congress. Still others-and these constitute the longest part of the items in sight-are actually before Congress in the form of bills regarded with favor by the majority.
 Here is table which includes those matters that are for the i'm mediate future:
 For the Philippines .....-........s 20 OOO, ,00O Nicaragua Canal ......... 150 GOO GOO Hecker-Alger Cuban railway.... 10000 ,O00 Porto Rican railway-................... 100000 Cuban and Porto Rican telegraph
 lines ................. ......... ,.... 100000 Hawaiian-Philippines Francis
 co ocables.--.............. .. 15OOOOo Telegraph and railway lines in Phil
 ipptnes....-.......... ................ 100000 Subsidies for steamship lines to our
 West Indian dependencies 10OOO, GOO Subsidies for Pacific lines ......... 1OO0O,oCo Subsidies under the Presidents
 plan for general revival of mer-
 chant marine.......-.-............-.-.- 2bOoo,OOO Revenue tcutter service on East
 and West Indies. s.,..,................. 100000 Expansion of navy tnext five years 240OO, 600 Expansion Of tarmy under Alger
 plan (next five years). ............. 100000 GOO Sanitation, sewers, etc. in tropical
 ......... @ 45,OOO, ,0Q0 Qualifications. dry-doeks, barracks,
 arsenals, etc. etc, at Pearl Har-
 Dor, Pago Pago, Manila, Subig
 Bay, Havana, Santiago. San Juan 125, ,O00 00O
 
 Total.---...- s799, GOO 00O
 C9i v Hoc OCCu tohCu LO uuu6EtSb bl- mate the large items. Provision has notsbeen made for an empire on an imperial scale, but with the idea that Congress will only do what is absolutely necessary and pressing, and will see that it is done without dollar being wasted or stolen.
 Such items as the $2O, GOO, GOO annu. al increase of pensions, the increas ed cost of all the civil departments, the improvements, coast defenses, etc, etc, here at home have all been omitted.
 After the empire is well under way it's annual cost may be reduced to Senator Hale's tigures-$200, 900, = 900 a year in addition to our present expenditures. But before that time can come the empire must be put in order. And it is this setting up housekeeping" that will necessarily fall upon the United States and their home people in the next ten years.
