the trick and swung over back o.
PennsylVania's righ. end. TIE ball

The expected has happened 1 only
hope the hellshness of this premedi-

Iechnically we have temporarily

SresSor, but who would not have done
So If the existence o. his county was
not at stake. I think We must look far
ahead to see the consequences Of this
war Instead Of the pacification of
South Africa. which is Tie alleged OBJ
Ject, we shall have perpetual unrest.
These very people for whom England
IS now fighting will turn against her
in time to come, and protest against
her rule as bitterly as they are now pro
testing against ours. For weeks I had

LOST IN A BIG CITY.
Little Frank McGraw Comes to Town
 and Gets Turned Around.

Wednesday MT. John Moore, of Tyro, came to Pine Bluff to do some trading and transact some business. Little Frank McGraw, nine years of age, had never been to large city like Pine Bluff, so he asked MT. Moore to let him come with him. After Frank got his fathers consent they iourneyed to lively Pine Bluff. AL though there is no Midways, Streets of Cairos or Bowe.ys in this city. there are many other interesting thing for country cousin" to see upon his first visit here.
 Frank took great interest in the high buildings, the carriages with "rubber shoes on" and the running rainer," as he expressed them, and he stood on the sidewalk in silence and wonder and entirely forgot MT. Moore. who was in store purchas- ing. Frank doubtless followed that running rainer" around the block, for when Mir. Moore came out of the store Frank had disappeared. He became alarmed and immediately notified the police. as he said he had been reading of Kidnaper Barrow, and maybe there was a kidnaper in this city.
 Frank disappeared about 10 o'clock and a greater part of the day was spent looking for him, Moore offered $2.5O to the fndet of Frank. As the hour hand in the court house tower pointed to 5, Officer Dyer found Frank near Clements wagon yard on West Barraque street won- derlng about asking puzzling ques- tions about our great "City of Pines."
 Officer Dyer received his $25O re- ward and afterwards made the little fellow a present of fine cap.

MIKE MORRlSSEY THE IRISH LAD IN 35
 SECONDS.
WITH ONLY TWO BLOWS.
Peter Hit Mike and Mike Hit the Floor.- Morrissey Was Too
 Badly Frightened.

New York, June 20. Peter Maher, tho Irish heavyweight pugilist, scored a quick victory oyer his fel- low countryman, Mike Morrissey, of Tipperary, before the Lenox Attn letic Club tonight. Morrissey had been hera,ded as an invineible Irish champion. Maher sized his man tip quickly and went for him straight away. There was apparently no fight in the new conner. A light punch in the breast and a right cross to the jaw were the only blows struck and these were delivered by Maher. The blow that Maher landed on the jaw was insufficient to knock out any man. Maher weighed 174 pounds and looked fit and well. Morrissey had retinue of handlers when he reached the ringside and said he weighed 182 pounds. The moment that the men shaped It was clearly evident that Morrissey was afraid and that Maher had the easiest thing ever given him in his fighting career. Maher walked to his carner and the master of ceremonies an nounced that Maher had VOL and that the time of the bout was thirty five seconds.

ELECTRIC CARS.

At the last regular meeting of the City Council Mir. Henry c. Wood, the promoter of the Pine Bluff Electric Street Railway and Light Plant, asked for an extension of six months Of the present charter, which expires the Both of June, promising that if he be given that time, the car line and light plant would be an assured fact.
 This extension was granted by the Council. which possessed a full attendance on that occasion. Mir. Wood says that he feels authorized to state that the money will be forthcoming and that the work on the proposed enterprise will begin within the time limit of the charter.
 Mr. Wood has labored earnestly for some time past to get Eastern capitalists interested ln the enter prise. but unfortunately for MT. Wood it was during a panicky period, this country being at war, and investors were slow in parting with their capital, but at last, MT. Wood states that his efforts are proving successful and that all the capital necessary will be supplied.
 We wish MT. Wood all the success possible as we believe he has labor ed earnestly and under great expense, in his attempts to bring an electric line with light plant com. bined to Pine Bluff. An electric line will be great factor in adYan- cing the interests of our city aRd every citizen should lend his assist ance to Mir. Wood in his very worthy undertaking and not try to down him in his work as some have attempted to do.

4 HOPEFUL STGN.

A society has been organized by about twenty-five or thirty Helena negro boys and girls having for it's object the promotion of good morals and the inculcation of the right principles of the ordering of their lives. The World is informed that the association had its origin in the fact that negroes of notorious char acter have heretofore, to a large extent, been upon the same footing ia the churches and in the soclal life, as those who are known to be of pure life, and in the recognition of the fact that this lack of discrim- ination, this absence of any attempt at differen tiation, has confirmed in the minds of the community the old time theory that negro is negro and there is no soundness or virtue in him. It is to be deplored that the necessity for such a society exists, but facts are facts, and it is true that with the weight of his ignorance, his racia! instincts, his poverty of incentive for right living, his limited mental horizon and his dwarfed moral outlook. with the weight of all these upou him, we say, he has been sadly handicapped. Like all reforms, however, the re organization of the social life of the negro must be inaugurated by him. self and must proceed from the consciousness that he is doomed to perpetual moral decay and death unless he move in his own behalf. The organization of this society is laggard recognition of the fact that if the negro is to win the esteem and respect of the world he must go about in the orthodox way; that be must not only be a pure man him. self but that he mus rebuke evil; that he must refuse to associate upon terms of intimacy with the depraved and the debauched, and close the hospitality of his home to the thief and the bawd. Nothing but good can come from the efforts of society having in view the up building of tue race along these lines, but how much good will be accomplished depends entirely upon the earnestness, the intelligence, the christian concentration of pur. pose that animates the individual members thereof. All right-think- ing persons, white aed black, will hope to see a bountiful harvest of good results from the new move menIs-Helena World.
