BETWEEN TWO SUNS.

The Weidemann theatrical COM
pany is left here without money or
friends after playing a two weeks
engagement under the manage
ment of Mr.: Bass.
1t seems that the company has
been playing to poor business at all
their stops, and the first week here
the did hardly more than pay ex.
penses, but last week they played
to crowded houses at a ten cent ad-
mission and the manager must have
pocketed a good snug little sum, as
he paid no board bills nor did he
pay anything to the actors or his
band. When the weeks play was
over he had his theatrical baggage
stored at the depot and ordered it
shipped the next morning, but by
some oversight part of the baggage
was left and it is now attached by
Mrs. Bradley, who boarded part of
the troupe, and for which they owe
her $25. The stage part Of the
company, with Miss Bond and Mrs.
Grosjean, the orchestra and
Prof. Wixom with his vitascope
will present Jane" on We'd
nesdaY night in order to get money
to get out of the city on and to set
tie up their bills made while here.
Manager Hardin has contributed
the opera house free and others of
our city will do all they can IN a
beneficial way to help the stranded
company.
Prof. Wixom will give his entire
fourteen pictures from his vitascope
on this evening as also illustrated
songs. Let us help these people
who are deserted here by an unfeel-
ing manager.

THE PARIS EXCURSION.
seventy-four Tsxarkanians Spend
the Day at Paris, Texas, On
Excursion Bent.

Yesterday, the TIP gave our city
an excursion rate Of 81 to Paris and
return, the occasion being a base
ball game between Paris and our
team. The excursion was fairly
advertised, there not being suhi-
cient notice given, or else half our
population perhaps would have left
the citY-Dot so much to see the
ball game, but to see the towns and
cities along the route from here
there.
The reporter was at the depot
aud met Captain Locke of the
Paris team. The captain had on
his prettiest scarlet vest and looked
the sport or promoter of athletics.
While engaged in conversation
with him, we learned that he re-
ceived $35 from the games played
here when it should have been
three times this amount, had he
gotten the guarantee, Added to
this, he was forced to loan the
Texarkana team ten dollars of this
money to pay their way to Paris,
they being without money or
friends who would put up for them.
Captain Leake said he had prom
ised to take them to Paris and
play them the three games there
and give them half of the gate re-
ceipts which he supposed would
crib them up until they could play
a series of games elsewhere.
1t has been demonstrated re-
peatedly here that this is no base
ball town and no club can come
here aud expect to make money
enough to live on and get out ot
town without growing on outside
help. We are sorry that it is thus
but such is the case and the sooner
the professional ball tOssers learr
this, it will be better for them and
also the few people who are called
upon to help them pay board here

STATE military NEWS.
How the Arkansas Regiments
Are Faring at Camp
Dodge.
OUR BOYS ARE ASSIGNED.
The Texarkana Company Will Be
Known As the DeQueen
Company.

Camp Dodge attracted thousands
of visitors yesterday, As the
tented city, with its 1000 inhabi-
tants, was lying calmly under the
blue sky, all the thoroughfares ap-
preaching the rendezvous were
lined with people vending their
way 'thither in spite of the great
clouds of dust and the hot sun. 1T
has been frequently asserted that
Little Rock has more private We
hicles than any other city of cor
responding size in the south, but il
was reserved for a pretty day and
military camp to bear out the
statement. Hundreds of buggies
and family barouches we're out,
filed in the majority of cases with
the fair sex. Half a dozen regi-
ments could have been raised from
the army of pedestrians on hand.
Quietude prevailed in the camp,
vet there was enough activity to
give the visitors an idea of what
army life is.
TAMPA OR CHICKAMAUGA.
According to a dispatch just re-
ceived by Capt. P. E. Trippe, the
mastering officer sent here by the
war department, the first regiment
will be sent either to Chickamauga
or Tampa, Fla. 1t the latter place
it means that the first will form
apart of the army of invasion in
Cuba and the BOYS would then see
early and active service.
There ARE at present 1000 men
in camp at the rendezvous. Fifty
men came in last evening from
Texarkana and will Join the De-
Queen company. The Texarkanians
are glad of the opportunity to en-
list, for they we're ostracised by the
Texas authorities. Some of them
are pretty sore over the treatment
they received in the Lone Star
state
The probability that another call /
will be issued soon for 100000 more
volunteers gives hope to hundreds
of men who now find it impossible
to get in on the first call. The
fires of patriotism are burning
brightly throughout the state. -
