the history OF the administration

worthy reforms and the Inaugural

any OF the former in the history of

THE CIF's LOSS
Many Regret the Rotirnent Of

In Mr.. VIM. Craig retiring from

certainly loses a most capable and
worthy servant. During his tenure
of office he did everything in his
power to make Pine Bluff perfectly
moral from top to bottom, aud we,
are here TO say that he succeeded in
his arduous duties. He made no
exception in his arrests, as had been
very frequent practices by several
of those who preceded him. He,
aid what he thought to be his duty
and proof of his efficient services
is the excellent report prese nted to
the city council at its meeting last.

thanked for the appointment OF Mr..

appointment has never been made.

haustive review of the evidence and

lowed for the defense and made
what has been pronounced one of
the best speeches ever asbayed before

terday would have supposed that

was on trial. In his testimony for
the defense Gen. White averred that
Joe Townsend came to him in Jan
uary at Pine Bluff and asked to be
advised what it would cost to get
out oft II he killed Conar.t. Gen.
White testified that he advised
Townsend not to attempt such an
act
Yesterday morning the prosecu-
ton introduced witnesses to i'm
peach Gen. Whites statements. Col
John NJ. Taylor, Editor Arthur
Murray OF the Press Eagle, City
Treasurer Westbrook and Deputy
Sheriff E. B. Bloom testified that
| Gen. Whites reputation was bad
and that they would not believe him
on oath. Gen. White, being recalled.
attributed the statements to per-
sonal enmity.
At the afternoon session the de-
Tense came back at the state with
some prominent witnesses who gave
Gen. White good name.
Representatives Foster, Toney and
! Cald well. all of Jefferson county,
were put on the illness stand and
each testified that he would be-
lieve Gen. White on oath. They
know nothing especially derogatory
to his character morally.
/ Mr.. Creed Caldwell conceded
that Gen. White had not "sprouted
wings" and that he had some enc
mics in Pine Bluff On cross-exam-
ination by Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Caldwell
said he had never heard it charged
i'll public speech at Pine Bluff by
AFR. Sorrells, the present prosecut-
ing attorney, that Gen. White once
burglarized his own safe.

day and the proceedings were de-
cidealy animated.
Col. Geo. w. Murphy will speak
for the defense this morning and will
be folio we'd By Prosecuting Attorney

A Surprise Indeed.

1t will come as a surprise to most
people to learn that there Is real
house of lords in the United States.
1t is situated in the state Of New Jer-
sey, and its members, although citi-
Zens Of the United States, are, at the
same time, vassals Of her majesty.
Charles III. gave to his brother James
the land which Is now New Jersey,
and James in his turn gave the land to
twelve Of his friends, with a deed Of
grant creating them and their des-
cendants lords. The lords meet twice
every year in Perth Amboy, in little
two-roOmed house erected on the site
OF the first meeting house, which was
erected in 1856 They are summouned
by crier with ben, dressed after the
manner of a beefeater. His summons
begins with the usual Hear We, hear
We, hear ye--all manner of men TO
whom these presents do come, that in
pursuance of his majesty King
Charles" etc. The lords, who have
been waiting in the outer room, then
proceed to the timer, or council cham

sided over by the lord president

on the seventh day Of the month of
Schawwai. In the year 1854 or the
Hegira- which is the Arabian way OF
writing Dec. %, 1S39-the sultan of
Oman. whose name was Seyyid
Saood, bin ahmend, addressed gra-
cious letter to "His Excellency, Martin
Van Buren,, president of the United
States of North America" In which he
Informed the president that he had
sent him by the royal ship Sultanee a
few trifies as a token of friendship and
good feeling, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. These trifies consisted of two
Arabian horses and their groom, one
bottle of altar of roses, two pieces Of
gold, five demijohns OF rose water, one
Persian carpet, one gold ornament with
a silk tassel, four cameps-hair shawlS
one gold-mounted sword, two large
pearls, a string Of $50 pearls, one gold
plate, one bottle of diamonds, one gold
snuffbox studded with precious stones
and one box of mixed pearls and dia-
monds.
Under the constitution, the president
is prohibited from accepting a person
al gift from any foreign state or pow
er, and as the sultan's gifts had ar
rived in New York and the commander
of the Sultanee would not leave the
country without presenting his mas
ter's offerings an embarrassing compli-
cation was the outcome. The matter
was finally referred to congress. and
after three months of correspondence,
red tape, diplomacy and legislation the
sultan's Christmas presents were final
ly accepted; and then the president
was put to the trouble OF selling the
horses, the shawls and the rose-water,
while Uncle Sam was given the further
trouble of finding a suitable place to
store the remaining gifts and was af-
terward put 10 great expense In cap
turing the thief who carried off the en-
tire collection in a bag and was only
