DIED IN MEMPHIS.
MT. J. P. Hanks, a Peculiar Pine
 Blufiau, Is DO More.

Saturday morning the sad intelli gence of the death of Mir J. P. Hanks, which occurred at Memp his Saturday morning reached Pine Bluff.
 Mir. Hanks went to the hospital at Memphis from this city about four days ago to undergo treatment. At the time of his death he was employ. ed by Mr. E NJ. Robinson as night clerk at the Dewey Hotel. He had previously worked as collector for Mr. D. ". Boyce at his news depot and for several months to his duties there he served as collector for the Rhodes Haverty Furniture Co.
 Mr. Hanks was about 8 years of age. A gaeat peculiarity that was particularly noticeable was that he would never engage in conversation with any one, but If approached he would talk pleasantly with one and impressed his aequaintances very much. He seemed to be hard working, quiet sort of fellow, but never mentioned as to what place he came from, who or where his family might be. When questioned thereof he would avoid nswering or change tte subject. He had many friends in Pine Bluff.
 His remains will be inferred at Memphis.

X FAST LIFE.
Dr. Ra schbaum is Arrested for Fast
 DriYing-Is Released.

Dr. Lyman B. Raschbaum got in- to trouble Thursday. He was ar rested late Thursday evening by the police for fast driving and appeared in the police court Friday afternoon to answer for the offense. He put up a plea that he was going to see a colored patient, that the visit was urgent, that the horse was a slow one and it was necessary for him to rush him.
 Of course when the earnest plead ings fell upon the ears of the kind hearted Judge W. D. Vaoce, who is serving during the absence of Judge Brown, who is confined to his home with illness, he ordered the prison CT released.
 The policeman who made the ar rest told a Graphic reporter that the Doctor was making the horse gallon in harness, and when he stopped him to warn him of the of- fense, Dr. Raschbaum was much hurt. He said he didn't think so small parsonage as an officer of tLe law should stoD him when he was on a professional visit, He was notic. ed ariying wildly in various direc- tions afterwards and the copper" reported the matter to headQuar- ters. At the trial the patient" was witness.
 It was reported Friday night and Saturday morning that the horse had died from exhaustion, but an in- vestigation proved the report to be fa.se. The reporter inquired at all the frst-class livery stables but none of them had rented buggy to Dr. Raschbaum.
 A friend, so Judge Vance tells us, rented the vehicle and Dr. RaschbAum was only doing the driving.

MIR. JEFF HICKS
Offers to Invest in an Oil Mill at
 Camden.

Saturdays issue of the Camden Beacon, has the following:
 "Capt. Jefferson Hicks, President of the Arkansas aud Texas Consoli- dated Ice and Coal Company, spent several days of this week in the city looking after his extensive business interests. Captain Hicks is willing and ready to build a $35,000 cotton seed oil mill in Camden if our citi. zens will subscribe for $17, ,000 of the stock, and if it can be made clear that this territory can furnish at least 2, 1000 tons ot seed per annum with which to operate the mill. It would be handsome investment for the business men of Camden to make, as it is the history of cotton seed oil mills in the South that they are paying institutions. One of these mills in Camden would employ large number of men atfair wages, and would thus stimulate trade to large extent, besides netting an an- rual dividend of about b per cent. to the stockholders. If Jeff Hicks is willing to risk SIS, of his mon ey in such an undertaking, it would be sad commentary upon the en. terpr;se Of Camden If her men of means should hesitate in subscrib- ing amounts sufficient to realize the total sum required.

Queer Device for Ca mallne.

T went into a down town bank not long ago at the noon hour to serve 8 paper on the president. There was s board meeting on in a back room. noticed all of the clerks in a bunch playing some game. and I went over to see what 1t was. They had one of those revolving check perforators with numbers on 1t from 0 to g. One man was spinning and acting as bank CT, while the others were laying bets on the numbers. They were operat- ing on the old wheel-of- fortune sys- tenn. l got so deeply interested that I forgot all about the paper I had to serve until there was a sudden scat tering of the group and disappear snce of the perforator and the cash on the board, turned and saw the president.

About an Even Thing.

A well-known mem Der of the Detroit bar tells the Free Press this story: Some years ago I attended 8 session Of the c ncuit court up in the state. A pro eonfesso divorce case was called. and it so happened that the judge was very much opposed to divorces, espe- eially those which were unopposed. After the attorney for the complain ant in this case announced himself as ready to proceed the judge asked If anyone appeared for the defendant. There was silence for moment. and the judge repeated the question. At one end of the lawyers table cat an at. torney who had acquired Il lionor habit and no was, at the g. eon- siderably under the influence of stimu- lants. He was noticed struggling to get on his feet and, on observing him the judge seized the opportunity and asked; Do you appear for the defend. ant, Mir. Blank?' No, your honor T merely rose to remark as "friend of the court" that with Brother Douh,e- blank as attorney for the comp linant and no one on the other side fl was about an even thing. Then Blank ra- sumed his seat, while the whole coprt roared with laughter"

A Cnrlons neorss ot Natare.

A curious similitude runs through the whole race of swift-footed horheu mammaIs-deer, antelopes and goats in that every one has more or less white about the tail and the adjacent parts of the haunches, and also a ten dency to decided marks on the face or throat says a writer in New 4ofK publication. In the elk, it IS a dull yelIowish disk surrounding the tall; in the mule-deer, or blaektajl, of our west, the stern is marked by two oval white patches, between which the gray tail, ending in black tuft is wagged continuously when the animal leaps away in alarm, by it's peculiar elastic bounds. Our eastern deer, when quiet iy feeding, betrays no more white be- hind than a mere V-shaped frings to the broad tail Let something alarm it, however, and up go head and tail. These are it's private signals to either friend or foe. The white throat-pateh and small white edged ears are dis played as a house flag to tell its name; the uprearing of the tall IS danger signal to all it's mates far and near, Look out, something suspicious!" And these diamond shaped white stern patches and the distinctive carriage of the tail serve another important pur- pose, for they form sure guides through tall grass or thick woods or the dark ness of nigAt for the animals of Q band to follow their leader, and par ticularly to enable the lawns to fol- low their fleeing dams. Men familiar with deer hunting in the west have told me more than once that deer of any sort. with lawns, will rush through a band of cattle, or even through a band of different deer, in. the darkest night, and never one mistake stran- ger for it's own kin, guided only by the white marks on the launches of those ahead.

The Ryes of Snakes.

One of the most curious facts with regard to snakes is that their eyes are never closed. Sleeping or waking alive or dead, they are always wide open. This is because there are no eyelids. The eye is protected only by strong scale, which forms part of the epidermal envelope. and is cast off in a piece with that every time the rep tile moults. This eye plate is as clear and transparent as glass, and allows the most perfect vision, while, at the same time, it is hard and tough, so as to perfectly protect the delicate organ from the thorns and twigs among which. in flight from enemies or in pursuit of prey, the reptile so often hurriedly glides, as any close observer of the habits of the snake can readily discover,

REGULAR EXODUS.
Of Mohammedans Has Set In from tn"
 Island Of Crete.

Island Of Crete.
 regular exodus of Mohammedans from Crete has set in, and, as there seems to be no way of stopping it. 1t is believed that the Porte will soon make a virtue of necessity and pass the word for all true Mussulmans to quit the island. Although large sums Of money have been distributed at Can- dia among those willing to stay, be- sides free gifts of timber for the re- construction of their houses, boats con- tinue to leave crowded with emigrants. The news of Prince Georges visit to Candid only gave fresh stimulus to the exodus, and, at latest accounts, the prospect was that the whole Mussul- man population would soon be gone. The Turks are much distressed at this state of affairs, and accuse England of being principally to blame, since she, of the four powers, has nearly always been foremost in assuring Turkey that her rights would be safeguarded. It is not denied that England has endeay- ored. in q certain measure, to fulfill her promises, but, as the Christian Gre tans seem to have deliberately adopted the policy of making the island unin- habitable for Moslems. it is practical ly impossible for any outside influence to induce them to remain. It is gen. erally admitted that each family is worth a considerable sum per annum to the island in taxes and industry, but the Christians having obtalned the upper hand, are resolved to pursue their advantage to the uttermost, and to drive all Moslems out of the coun- try. so far as it lies within their power to do so. This is, at all events, an ef- fective way of putting an end to relig- ious differences.

To Prevent Pneumonia.

A well-known woman of Kansas City, who has had a great deal of experi- ence in the care of pneumonia eases, offers. through the Kansas City Jour nal, the following remedy to cold stricken people: Take hot bath and put on warm clothing. Wrap your head and throat with woolen cloths and place a mustard plaster upon your chest. Then hold your head over a hot stove and inhale the hot air. Re main indoors forty-eight hours, al ways having your room at a high tenn perature and free from draft. At the end of that time the cold will have disappeared.
