 The busts of Chief Justice Masball and other distinguished members of the suprme court, which were arranged on pedestals about the supreme court cham CT were either badly damaged or wholly destroyed and with their destruction the country has suffered an irreparable loss Many of them have been treasured as exhibits i'll the supreme court cham Der for half q century.
 The capitol building has been dam aged a number of times before by fire, it is believed that this fire will prove to be the most disastrous in the history of the building. On two occasions prior to this, fires have been started by explosions of gas. Seventeen years ago R large amount of damage was done to thesame part of the building by an ex- plosion of this kind, and in 1876 there was an explosion of gas that killed one man and came near killing another.
 In the opinion Of capital officials and mechanics who examined the structure, the Joss will reach probably $200, 900 to the building The loss on the library and records, as stated above, can scarce ly be estimated in dollars and cents. One million dollars could not replace them because of many of them no dupli- cates are in existence.

The Wilson Printing Co. is the only printery in the city operat- ed by steam power. It is also the only exclusively job printing estab- lishment in the city. It also has more money invested in printing presses, machinery, type, stock, etc, than any other printing house in the State east of Little Rock. It also pays out more money for labor than any Pine Bluff printing house, and does a larger business, both outside and inside of the city, than any of its local competitors. Ithas uneqnalled facilities in Pine Bluff for quick, neat and cheap commercial and job print ing. ard has but few superiors in the South. It can therefore meet com petition from any quarter, ill price, quality, speed or workmanship, and sollcits orders with the guarantee of sa atisiacIion.

WATER TALK
The Mass Meeting at Music
Hall
SEVERAL SPEAKERS IDEAS
BUT NO NEW LIGHT THROWN ON
THE SUBJECT
Ex-Mayor Hazard, Mayor Snyder and
Other Officials Express Their
Thoughts to the Audience

The mass meeting at Music hall last
night, which had been called for the pur-
pose of discussing the water question,
drew a large number of people. The
hall, while the favorite speakers of the
crowd addressed them, contained some
nine hundred persons, but after such
favorites as Henry Hazard, Mayor Sny-
der, Councilman Hutchison and few
others had expressed their sentiments,
the audience grew rapidly thinner, and
the chairman had at one time, when
the receding footsteps overwhelmed the
voice of one of the speakers, to request
that all those who desired to leave
should do it then, so that the remainder
might hear undisturbed what the bal
ance of the orators had to say.
The Call was improving the shining
hour while it could. Its cohorts of local
talent gave away wrapped copies of Fri
days edition to everyone who came in,
threw them on the seats, and after the
battle was over and the field cleared torn

HOME PRODUCTS EXHIBITION
First Week a Success-Applicati
For Space Received Daily

The first week of the Permanent Home
Products exhibition created consider
able interest among the public, and as
means of bringing home products to the
notice of the consumers it's object has
been fully attained. The hall has been
visited by a constant stream of people
every day, and the visitors register con-
tains in the neighborhood of 2000 names.
The daily attendance during the week
has been estimated at 500, and last Mon
day not less than 1000 people visited the
exhibition.
AS an illustration of the advantages to
the manufacturers who have displays
Secretary Zeehandelaar cites the fact
that yesterday a merchant and COM
mission broker from Nebraska visited
the hall for the purpose of becoming ac-
quainted with the manufactured prod
ucts of Los Angeles in order to create
a market for them in his state. The
merchant was escorted through the hall.
noted carefully articles for which a
ready market could be found, and, after
noting the names of the manufacturers,
the visitor made personal calls on them.
An invitation has been received from
Captain Rowland of the reception COM
mittee inviting the president and mem
bers of the association to be present at
the formal opening of the new armory of
the National guard on Monday evening,
February 7th.
A meeting of the exhibition committee
was held yesterday, at which the final
report was decided upon, which will be
presented to the board of directors of
the association tomorrow (Monday)
evening, when a new committee will be
appointed to manage the exhibition for
the ensuing year in conjunction with the
secretary and superintendent.
Several applications are received daily
for space, and the Indications are that
within the next four weeks every booth
will be occupied with an interesting and
elaborate display of home products.
1t is the intention to give a special re-
ception to those housekeepers who have
signed the pledge to buy hereafter home
products only, through the efforts of the
canvassers, and Hon. c. C. Wright will
on that occasion deliver lecture on

pared the advantages OF the city engin-
eer's plan for a new system over the
present one. He sneered at the local pa
lpers, and then paid his respects to GER
ltain city officials. He said that If these
men could hold their jobs until the end
Iof their terms, regardless of what the
people wanted, the people would get just
what they are getting now. 80 long as
we don't do business on business prin-
ciples," he said, you will have nothing
to boast of. We have water in the noun
tains to supply 100000 of people. If
we owned the water system now we
could charge the people one-quarter of
what the company charges and give ten
times better service, but then we would
be doing business on business prin-
ciples."
A sudden thought struck Chairman
Hazard. who claimed that in 1892, when
the city had decided to build a water
system, the water company induced the
attorney general of the state to come
here and, in his capacity as such, to ad-
wise the city council that an issue of
bonds for the purpose would be illegal.
Engineer Abs Hagen read a statement
in which the figures and statistics per-
tanning to his report to the city council
on the water question were presented,
from which he reached the conclusion
that While the company is entitled to an
adequate compensation for it's plant, yet
Its worthless condition and the unfitness
OF the water made the price of little
over 81 200, 900 a fair one.
DR.. VIM. NJ. Johnson and Prof. w. c.
bowman also addressed the meeting, but
the people were tired and wanted to go.
and their speeches were brief.

first game from the new Los Angeles
club yesterday afternoon in well
played ten-inning contest. 1t was their
first game in four, the local team having
defeated the visitors in the first series
of three games last week.
The game yesterday was capital eX-
hibition. Both sides did some very
heavy batting and splendid fielding. Los
Angeles started off in the lead Neither
side scored the first three innings. In
the fourth Los Angeles made two runs
and Santa Cruz made two in their half.
Los Angeles again scored two in the
fifth and one in the sixth, but did not
score again until tt.e tenth. Santa Cruz
scored one in the s. xth, and in the eighth
scored two on Streib's home run over
the fence when Peoples was on second.
Neither side scored in the ninth. Los
Angeles started off in the tenth with
Tripp hitting to third, but he was
thrown out at first. Leland did like
wise; with two men out, Mangerina hit
for two bases, and Farley, the next man
up, hit to third, which Peoples fumbled.
Farley started for second, and in trying
to catch him, Mangerina scored.
Farley was put out at third. For Santa
Cruz, Peoples started off with base hit.
and on Trips error went to third.
Streib struck out, Doyle got his base on
balls and stole second; McGrath, next
man up. hit grounder to Farley, which
he fumbled, allowing both Peoples and
Doyle to score, thereby winning the
game by the score of to 6.

A Hot Ball

There was a hot time at Turner hall
last night. The occasion was a mas
querade ball given as a benefit to the
Los Angeles baseball club, and In point
of attendance 1t was decided success.
OF course, there was liquor sold. The
fact that there is no license for the sale
of frewater in such places does not "cut
any ice," as one Of the participants In
last nights festivities remarked. There
have been other balls there at which
liquor was sold, but no attention was
paid to the infraction of the law. In
Justice to the managers of last nights
ball, it must be said that the affair was
not quite SO tough as some other balls
have been. There were the usual dis
putes, which led to black eyes and
bruised faces, but there was no general
scrap. Financially, the affair was more
successful than the managers had
hoped.
