Death of Mrs. A. G. Duke.

Last Saturday morning A. G. Duke
received telegram announcing the
death of his wife at Battle Creek,
Mich. Some weeks ago Mrs. Duke
went to the sanitarium at that place
for treatment and was subjected to an
operation. She was getting along
nicely, but suffered relapse and the
telegram announcing the change for
the worse was followed the next day
by the sad intelligence of her death.
Mr.. Duke left that evening for Battle
Creek to bring back the body to this
city for interrment. Mrs. Duke had
resided in Hot Springs several years
and was active in the work of charity
and helping those in distress. Her
death is mourned by many friends who
extend to the bereaved husband their
heartfelt sympathies.
The remains arrived Wednesday
morning and were met at the depot by
deputation of Royal Neighbors and
Modern Woodmen. The deceased
was member of the former order in
which she carried $1,000 insurance.
In the afternoon the funeral services
were held i'll the Congregational church
and a very fitting and touching SER
mon preached by Rev. A. A. Brown.
There 'as a large assemblaga of the
friends OF the deceased present to pay
their last respects. The interrment
was in Evergreen cemetery.

SACRED CONCERT IN THE CHAPEL.
Methodist Choir Rendered PIE In.
Program sunday Evening.

Program sunday Evening.
The choir of the Methodist church
gave sacred concert at the College
chapel Sunday under the direction of
Edward Hall. 1t was an innovation in
the church service of Hot Springs, but
it is the earnest wish of every one of
the large audience present that similar
programs be given by the choir as often
as possible. Music is the highest ex-
preston of the soul and is as much a
part of worship as is the sermon; its
teaching is praise, not tenet. and he
who has music in his heart cannot be
wholly wrong.
In the choir are some good individ-
ual voices and the numbers rendered
were we'll executed considering the
drill it had. 1t is fairly we'll balanced.
but the baton must be vigorously used
to even up the little roughness noticea-
BILE in Sunday nights performance.
This Mr.. Hall is eminently capable of
doing. At the organ Mr.. Hall excels
and his two numbers gave one a good
idea of what he could do with pine
organ. His offertory was also excep-
tionally good.
Miss Pinder's violin was the first of
the solo numbers and she gave Faure's
"Palm Branches From her bowing
one might easily fancy her pupil of
Hans Albert, at one time Thomas solo
ist. Miss Pinder's playing is very
clever, and it is pleasure to listen to
her. Her second number was "Harp
Sounds" by Jungmann.
Miss Stanley sang Barlett's "Come
Unto Me-" with the power and express
sion the song demands, the sentiment
being for many the sermon of the even
ing. Miss Pinder played a violin OBJ
bligato and Miss Mcdonald the piano
accompaniment.
Miss Elliot read N. p. Willis "The
Leper," Interestingly.
Not one of those present would have
known that Miss Boicourt's .Home.
Sweet Home," was an improvisation of
that old melody, had they not been af
forwards told, so brilliantly we're the
variations woven about the we'll known
theme and we'll so were they executed.
"Father Whose Power Eternal" was
the prayer sung by Miss McDole. The
petition is simple, but thrilling and
there was kind OF quiet ecstacy in
Miss McDole's singing which made
the song very effective The accom-
paniment by Miss Boicourt was sympa-
thetic and added much to the charm of
the singers voice.
The program closed with the singing
of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" in which
the audience Joined. It was particu-
larly appropriate in view of the inter
national crisis at hand and was sung
with much spirit.

a CHANGE Fos PEACE.

Negotiations Pending for Diplomatic
Settlement of Cuban Question.
Diplomatic relations between the
United States and Spain hang tremb-
ling in the balance. McKin ley's propo-
sition on the Cuban question is this:
That Spain arrange some time in the
near future to accept Gomez's offer to
pay s2OO,OOOOOO for Cuban independ-
ence.
That an armistic be entered into dur
ing which the Spanish troops are to be
withdrawn from the island.
That the reconcentrados be released
Immediately, and permitted to return
to their homes; and.
That the United States furnish them
not only with food, but purchase for
them farming implements.
Spain is considering this in Madrid.
A cable was received from Minister
Woodford which shows that the nego-
tiations are proceeding in a way en-
tirely satisfactory to the president. 1t
is not believed that Spain will at this
time promise independence.
But on the strength of the informa-
tion from Madrid the president decided
to send message to congress, and a
high official said the way was opening
to a speedy settlement of the whole
Z Cuban situation.
On the Maine question Spain is evi-
IDENTIFY preparing to combat the conten-
tion that the ship was destroyed by an
outside explosion, and instead of for.
warding an apology will send denial
and ask for international arbitration.
Among the middle classes the idea of
honorable peace has taken a firm hold
and great and prodigious will be the
popularity of the ministry when it an
nounces peaceful results, says the
New York Herald's correspondent
at Madrid. It is understood that the
pope through the papal nuncio conveys
his approval and more still of peace
under the circumstances suggested
and Spain is his pet child.
In the palace there is no doubt of the
sentiment for the queen is the warmes,
advocate of peace, and has grieved 70,
three years over the Cuban war. Sh,
will support with all her strength tn,
I opportunity which has fallen to the 10,
Of her country to secure peace will
honor.

To FORM A LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
Committee Elected Monday Evening to
Draft a Constitution.

Draft a Constitution.
The public meeting held at the city
hall Monday evening under the au-
spices of the Travellers club for the
purpose of considering the library
question, was we'll attended. "A tenn
porary organization was effected with
DIR. Hargens as chairman and w. II.
Stanley as secretary. After discussion
the action of the meeting was the elec-
tion of a committee of five to formu-
late plans for the organization of the
Hot Springs Library association. The
committee is: DIR. Hargens, chairman;
Mrs. Evans, Rev. Long, DIR. Daley and
j. A. Stanley. The committee will
meet and draft constitution and by
laws and report to a public meeting to
be held at the city hall next Wednes-
day evening at which time permanent
organization will doubtless be effected.
A number of suggestions were
offered, but the one meeting with the
most general approval is the idea of
incorporating. Under this plan
stock company would be formed which
would direct the affairs of the library
and be a responsible body. Certif1-
Gates of stock would be issued at a
value of from possibly 81 share, the
holders only being entitled to a voice
in the proceedings of the association.
This seems the sensible, business-like
way of solving the question. A strong
organization is necessary and an incor-
porate body would have the power to
make the movement more of a success,
seemingly, than any other plan yet
suggested. The public would have the
use of the library just the same and
any one who wanted to have voice in
the proceedings of the association
could have it by purchasing some of
the stock.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market trading confined in great
part to few OF the leading speculative issues
throughout the day. however. evidence OF good
buying in the general list was not wanting and
at the close the greater number Of shares
showed net advances as compared with Tues

public interest is taken in the present market.
