Hon. c. H. Harding.

The above named gentleman is an- nounced in the proper column of to- days issue of the GRAPHIC as a can didate for Circuit Judge of the Elev- enth Judicial District, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries on May the 7th.
 Mr. Harding is a highly esteem ed citizen of Jefferson county, and has been prominent as a lawyer through out the district for number of year s. He was born in this county and his entire life has been spent in this section. He has at all times been hard working Democrat and an upright citizen, and has tie re. spect of all who know him. His long practice in this judicial district, kis familiarity with the law and his long residence in this section of the State, which has familiarized him with existing conditions, well qualify him for the position to which he as- pires.
 Mr, Harding is an able speaker and hot campaigner, and his can didacy will no doubt be an animated and vigorous one.
 Should Mr. Harding be nominated and elected he will "play no favcr- ties" but make the people through ont the district an impartial. fear less and able presiding judge.

The Shirt Waist.

The shirt waist, says a New York fashion writer, has firm hold on wo- man IS heart--and mans, too, as far as that goes, for the average man is very fond of natty looking shirt waist. Perhaps that's one reason woman has been so true to this garment so long. Another reason is because it's definition is solid comfort. The spring and sum- mer shirt waists, which are now dis played in tho big department stores, will be even moro comfortable than those of 1897, and the designs are far more beautiful. The blouse is the ia vorite style, and cotton, eheyiot, pique in all colors. duck and fine ginghams are most desirable materials. Women generally got enough of f1imsy shirt waists last season. Those made of sheer linen, batiste, organdie, and so on are beautiful to look at, but the beauty all comes out in the wash. These materials do not take starch well, and it is inn possible to give them fresh, stylish look in laundering them. Thus the chief charm of a shirt waist vanishes. The materials which promise to be most fashionable this year all do up we'll and look better after each washing.
 Stripes are very modish, and most of them run round instead of up and down. This gives a plump look to even an angular figure, especially when the waist is made to blouse. The waists made of bias plaids are also swagger looking. Those made of oheyiot, duck or pique, in white or solid colors, are embeIlished with taeks running up, down, across or zigzag, according to fancy. 4 figure that does not look well in shirt waist is to be pitied, but there are plenty of such figures.

NEW EVERETT PIANO.

1t is a well-known fact that no pianos have stood the hard South ern climate as well as the Everett, but the new improved Everett of 1897 has surpassed all pianos, in artistic tone, touch and beautiful cases: they have created sensation in the musical world, and by investi- gating you will find that they are absolutely the highest grade of pianos now on the market. I am determined to have the piano trade of Arkansas. l have dropped prices, and will sell you a nice upright piano from $40 up, and the high grade Everett for $50 less than factory re- tail prices.

home, 12 East Thirty fifth street. There Mile. Marie told secrets not only of the persons whose hands she read, but of their families as well, and told them what they had to fear through heredity.
 An incident occurred at Mrs. Louns- bery's reception that was Mile de Pal kowska's first Init" as it were, in ere ating the palmistry fad. While she read the palms of many women who were curious to know how she did it well known society woman approached and said; sMademoiselle, look at ny hand. Cheiro has told mo there is suicide in it.

 "Ah, madam, answered the Polish girl studying her hand intently, there has been suicide in your family some time long before you. There is trace of it still. I see suicidal tendencies in the lines, but thewill can overcome them. "
 Others pressed forward to have their palms read, and each was told what she was best fitted for and what talents she possessed, musical or otherwise.
 Mlle. do Palkowska speaks in pret- ty broken English that lends charm to her palm reading She is very serious with it, however, and says she has ad- vanced it to science.
 Much against the wishes of her rela- lives at the Polish capital, Mile. de Pal kowska came to this country three months ago and went to 1.-Two with her married sister at 132 West Twelfth street.

THE sinking of the battleship Maine, whether by accident or de sign, has accomplished at least one good purpose. It has called the at tention of the country to our enor- nous expenditures for pensions, while at the same time our army and navy and coast defenses have been neglected. The United States have no standing army, or navy, capable to cope with the great pow CTS of Europe. Yet the United States are paying out more for pen sions annually than any of the great powers for the maintenance of their standing armies and formida- ble navies. How long the people of this country will suffer such con dition to continue cannot be aecu- rately foretold, but certain it is re- cent disclosures should show tbe ne- cessity for a change in our internal policy of paying pensions to our own citizens while our means of de- fense aud of war are neglected.

Judge John M. Elliott is announc- ed in today's issue as candidate for re-nomination and reelection as Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Dis trict, composed of the counties of Jefferson, Lincoln and Desha. It is needless to say that his candidacy is subject to the action of the Demo cratic party, whether by conven- tion or primaries.
 Judge Elliott is known throughout the district, and needs no introduc- tion at our hands. Prior to his ele- vation to the bench he was prose cutting attorney for several terms and is now serving his second success sive term on the bench. He is very popular with the peopl of the dis trict, this popularity being attested by the fact that he has never been defeated for any office to which he has aspired.

Burmese woman is active and industri- ous, while the Burmese man is indolent and often recluse. Becoming, there fore, both by taste and by habit, the money earner, the bargainer and the fnancier of the household, she has as- serted and obtained for herself the right to hold what she wins and the respect due to one who can and does direct and control.
 Things are strangely reversed in Bur ma, for here we see man as the religious soul of the nation and woman its brain. Burmese women are born traders, and it Is more often the wife than the hus- band who drives the bargain with the English buyer for the paddy harvest, or at any rate she is present on the occa- sion and helps her easy going husband to stand firm. So highly is trading esteemed that daughter of we'll to do parents and even young married wom- ali will set up booth ill the bazaar, and, dressed in a bright silk tamein (skirt) and white jacket, with flower jauntily stuck into her coiled black tresses, she will start every morning with tray of sweetmeats, fruit or toys on her head and with gayety and grace born of the sunshine and the bounteousness of the land will push brisk trade all through tho short and sunny day. The earnings thus made are tho woman's s own and cannot be touched by her husband. = Philadelphia Ledger.

 Society S very latest fad and greatest drawing card at an afternoon reception is palmist, who reads the secrets of the head and heart through the palm of the left hand and tells the owner of the fair palm her white sins. And the palm ist whom society has taken up and ex- p1oits as something really new is young woman of noble birth, whose parents occupy high court position in Poland
 She is Mile. Cleo Marie de Palkow- ska, 23 years of age, and she has already appeared in half dozen of the most ex- elusive homes of New York.
 Her reading of the palm is altogether different from that of palmists who have hourished hitherto, and many fash ionable society women have hastened to bring her into their homes for their aft ernoon receptions and teas.
 A palmist and a fine collation. are two of the most powerful cards for q full house at an afternoon reception, and both are rarely found together at the same entertainment. Mile de Palkow- ska has created quite stir both by her hand reading and the fact that she comes of noble Polish house. Her father is a general in the Polish army, and her grandfather was a marshal in the court of King Augustus of Poland.

PROF. J. H. H1NEMoN. of this city

PROF. J. H. HINEMoN, of this city, in response to the numerous calls made upon him, has declined to be- come candidate for State Superin- teudent of Public Instruction. Prof. Hinemon would make an ex- cellent State Superintendent, but at present has more profitable posi- ton as superintendent of the Pine Bluff Public Schools. It is noto- rious fact that the salary attached to the office Of State Superintendent is entirely inadequate to the service or the position. It pays less than many of the surerintendents of the city schools throughout the State receive. While Arkansas has been exceedingly fortunate in securing good and capable men in the past for this position, we doubt if the State will continue to do so unless the salary of the office is raised.

Women in Burma are probably freer and happier than they arc anywhere else in the world. Though Burma is bordered on one side by China, where women are held in contempt, and on tho other by India, where they are kept i'll the strictest seclusion, Burmese women have achieved for themselves and have been permitted by their men to attain a freedom of life and action that has no parallel among oriental peoples The secret lies perhaps in the fact that the
