WILLIAM L. ROBERTS.

Don Caesar De Bazan was present cd at the opera house last night for the second time this season by Mr. William L. Roberts and company. He was greeted by q very small house. Mir. Roberts, it seems, has been pursued by bad luck all this season. Quarantine regulations in the fall broke up all of his engage ments in the South, and he has been playing where he could make dates
 At each appearance here rainy nights have caused him to be greeted with small audiences Mr Roberts is one of the best players that comes to Pine Bluff. His company IS excel lent In Miss Olive Martin he has an able assistant in presenting Don Caesar De Bazan. The scenery used in presenting the play is the finest brought here this season.
 MT. Roberts stored his scenery here while he is making several engage ments in other places. He willlikely return and fill a weeks engagement at this place. If so, 1t is to be hoped that our people will give him the patronage he so eminently deserves.

Mr. Mason Philpot received a telephone message gbout 10 o'clock saying that the store house of the Richardson & May Planting Co.,, at Corners tone, was broken into last night and robbed of $80000 in money. It was not known who the robbers were. Major Baswell was the clerk and book-Beeper at the store, and he discovered the robbery this morning. Ths planting com pany's safe was in the store. As a large amount of ready money was necessary to run the big plantation, the company always kept several hundred dollars on hand.
 A larger amount of money than usual being on hand last night it is supposed that parties in the neigh borhood learned the fact and plan ned the robbery, which was success fully carried out.
 MT. Philpot was asked to bring his blood hounds down to the scene of the burglary and try to run down the robbers. He fears the dogs may be unable to find the right trail, as parties have been over the place looking for the robbers. The heavy rains present another. Mr. Philpot is willing to try any run that can add additional lustre to the fame of his dogs.

A clever trek was worked by Walter Redmond and his wife the other morning at union station by which several trayeling men were duped out of their money says the Louisville Courier-Journai. At the end of long seat in the waiting room was Q pretty and modest look ing young woman attired in Sal. vation Army uniform She was very ia tent npen 9 paper which ssh!la ssh!la was reading and paid little atten- tion to the crowd of travelling men standing near her.
 Aside from the crowd was a we'll dressed young man, who was walk ing back and forth by the news stand puffing away at fragrant ei- gar. Finally niembe: of the crowd of travelling men remarked upon the beauty of the little Salvation Army worker. All eyes were fixed on the little woman and she received many compliments. The prosperous-look ing young man who had been walk ing near the group of drummers drew near to the crowd. He, too, was struck with the appearance of the woman.
 "l1l give any one of you fellows $15 II you kiss that girl, said he.
 Those in the crowd .took the dare. One spoke Gp, howevef, and saiua o, the stranger, who had offered the money "1'll bet you $2o that you can kiss her.
 The stranger hesitated for several seconds and then said.
 "I'll just take that bet.
 The money was put up, and the stranger, who had given his name as Walter Redmond, walked over toward the little woman in uniform, and, after lowing profoundly, took  Q seat by her side.
 At first the woman seemed to be very indignant, and the travelling man thought he had the $40 won. A minute later, however, Redmond's arm stole around the woman's waist. The spectators then began to open  their eyes wide. One of them said. ''That fellow has 8 whole lot of in. auence over that girl. It may be that he is a hypnotist.2 Redmond talked for probably two minutes, and then kissed the woman.
 Redmond walked over to the stake holder and received his money. He then started from the depot The little woman quickly rose from her seat, and, taking his arm, walked to Ninth street and Broadway, where the couple took an East Broadway car Redmond is tall and hand some.

INNOCENT PLAGIARISM.
Senator Jones Tells Good one on
 Himself.

The complication of the governors of Michigan and Missouri, over their late Thanksgiving proclamations, which were identical word for word, is inspiring "reminiscences of uncon- scious assimilation and repetition, one of the best of which is told by Senator Jas. K. Jones, of Arkansas. But this is a case of innocent pla- giarism on ones self, according to the Senator's story as related to a Washington newspaper correspond ent- a rather remarkable case 1t is too. In his early professional career the Senator had occasion to prepare himself for an argument in court. The young lawyer searched his au- thorities, and was so painstaking that he committed what he had to say to paper. Before the day of trial a settlement was made. The speech was tucked away in 9 pigeonhole of the law office in Washington, Ark, and forgotten. Years afterward a similar suit was instituted, and Mir Jones found it necessary to prepare himself along the lines of the fogmer effort. He did so, and made his speech Afterward he was congratu- lating himself that he had not had an opportunity to deliver the first speech, because he felt that with his added experience he had made a much more effective argument, and had done himself far more credit Strangely enough, 8 search for some papers about that time brought to light the speech prepared years be- fore and put away undelivered. What was the amazement of Mr. Jones to discover that the speech he had just delivered as the result of his recent preparation, and which he had flattered himself was a great i'm proyement on hiSearly attempt, was almost verbatim the speech that he had written, and, Sas he supposed, entirely forgotten.
