the run OF that vessel from Puget
sound to Jupiter inlet, a journey OF
over 14,500 miles, lasting seventy-nine
days. during which there were no stops
excepting for coal and not one hours
delay through derangement OF ma

Melville in the Stevens Indicator. 1t
Is. far and away, the most remarkable
ever made by any warship OF any navy
in the world. 1t was won only through
severe hardship and unwearying toll, by
tho ceaseless vigilance and care OF ON
GERS and men. Twenty hours work
without rest, officers feeding the fur

The air grows dense and moist, the

1a0 degrees and 1so degrees Fahrenheit

whirl of blowers. the flying coal dust.
the roar of furnaces and the hum OF

lower world an inferno Of discomfort

She Flew With Knuckles.

Texarkana, Feb. 7.-Several months ago, Miss Lillian Miley. a lady barber arrived here from Dallas and has since been employed in the tonsorial par lors of Bertram & Sarvis, where she has been the center of attraction. Old young, tough and tender sought tn, soft touch of the pretty barber and ex tended their patronage from shave to a hair cut, etc. Many suitors laid thei, heart at her feet. A St. Louis drum. mer and James Knuckles, d Texarkana bartender, seemed to be the favore, ones. Today Knuckles and the young lady took a train for Boston. he count, site. The train was delayed at tn, junction near here. and the drummer learning that, obtained a fast horse ana tried to stop them, but just as h. reached the train it pulled uut and tn, barber waved him an adieu. Tn, couple were married at Boston an, went 10 Clarksville, Tex. The drumme, is here grieving.
 Miss" |" Miley, the heroine of the above escapade, was well known in Forrest City, where she posed as the wife of F. $. Miley, a barber who op- erated about the "t0nicst n shop ever known in this place. The woman as sisted her alleged husband in the bar ber shop and caught the baldheads coming and going. Some of our elderl. citizens, who had not sought the ser. vices of barber in years, yielded to the Embellishments of the fair Lillian and became regular patrons of ;he es tablishment where she wrought Mir. Miley had invented lireman's ladder, and several other necessities, which ex- celled anything in that line that had ever been offered, and left here osten. sibly to secure capital to place his in- ventions upon the market. The woman remained for some time. but finall, disappeared. Neither she nor her hus- band have been heard of recently. The fact was pretty generally accepted be- fore their departure that the rela tions between the two ware of an illicit na. ture.

Lowery Bale Compress.


 During our visit to Memphis this week we called at the office of the Planters Compress company and saw the latest drawings and illustrations of the famous Lowery Dale press. The changes made from the one now in operation in Forrest City are very marked, and we would say the improvements are very beneli cial The frame is all of steel and the power operating the press is more con centrated. The pressman can stand ia front of the press and direct it in it's every operation. An improved press Will be placed here before next crop.
 The density of the bales now being made average 47 pounds to the cubic foot The parties having presses are greatly pleased with same and their re- sults
 We were shown letter from one of the largest exporting houses of New orieans and Savannah. with Liverpool connections, and we quote from it as follows: We Have made extensive experiments with the Lowery bale, and take the liberty of congratulating you upon putting on the market n cotton Dale which is most decidedly great i'm. provement on the present square bale. and which we think meets d Iong-felt want" The parties ask 10 be allowed to introduce the cotton across the va. ter to their large trade, assuring the companies that they are bent on mak- ing it suscess.
 We were assured by Mir. Jerome Hill. :, president. that the outlook for this company is all that can te desired. and the backing of such men as Messrs. J :. I. Fargason, J. w. billiard, Napoleon Hill, 0. B. Polk ond others is a war. rantee to the people of the Mississippi Valley cotton district of the success of this new system.
 A bale of Arkansas cotton was GOV cred with Arkansas cloth, made at Mammoth Spring. and is being shipped to New Orleans for exhibition to the cotton trade.
 The press at Forrest City has been delayed in operation by want of seed cot ton. We are assured that the owners of the cotton were offered 50 points, or S2.5O per bale, premium over the price being paid tor square bales on the plat form at Forrest City.
 MT. Maddox, in charge here, will be pleased to explain the workings and merits of the press to all visitors.
