great row in Washington over the award
of contract to the Vermont Marble COM
pany at Proctor. The contract is for the
cut stone work to be used in the construc-
ion of the new building for the Evening
Star. IL is to be building costing about
$3.50, 900 The Journemen Stone Cutters
association have passed resolutions de-
claring it "scab" building because of
the Vermont contract, and forbidding all
members of labor unions, including
"carvers, filters and setters," which
would necessarily have to be employed on
the premises from working on the build
ing. The stone cutters resolutions have
been approved by The local Federation OF

ployed by the Vermont company "belong
to no union and are compelled to work by
piece work, their wages averaging moi
more than 81 80 per day, while they have

be held with buildings alone. There is also $2000 in stock yet remaining in the treasury, which shows that the Association has practically lost nothing The Fair would be self sustaining had not so much money been required for buildings and i'm provements at tue park
 But another Fair cannot be held without more money, therefore, at the stockholders meeting Friday afternoon q committee consisting of Messrs. Fred Fox, Isaac Dfeyfus W. D. Hearn, Joe Cromwell, K. II knox, J. W. Alien and ]. B. Tru lock was appointed to solicit pri- yate contributions to lift all in debtedness.
 It seems to be the sentimeh of the Pine Bluff people that the Fair is worth in business way more than 1t costs, and they don't want to see the enterprise fail. During fair week there are hundreds of visitors who come to the city, wit ness the fair, buy their goods, have a good time and spend their money. People from abroad have come to look upon the Fair as fixed fact, and now that it is somewhat estaE- ished, the attendance will no doubt increase each year. Another thing is that no more money will have to be paid for buildings, and those al- ready on the grounds will be to- tai loss if the Fair is abandoned.
 The proposition. therefore, to lit the indebtedness of the association by private subscription and eontin- ue the Fair is one that appeals to every citizen.

THE CHIEF TOPICS.
The finding OF the list Regiment Court OF Inquiry
will probably be made known in few days. So
much OF the cont,nt OF the report became known
at the hearing which took place before the Govern
or last week that the document itself will be Of
little interest to the public. The resignation of
Captain white places that officer beyond the
danger line. and If Governor Roosevelt carries out
manded In orders and Lieutenant Colonel Smith
will be ordered before bouncing board" All
this could have been done days ago. and tho fact
that the case Is being postponed makes many OFF,
believe that Governor Roosevelt is looking
further into the Austin matter. and that the end
Will be that Northumberland Smith will be Sc
lected to carry the list Regiment burden alone
Many members of the regiment have expressed
themselves in emphatic terms against the judge
advocate Of the Board OF Inquiry. who they say
unnecessarily severe in his criticism OF the
officers conduct.
The committee has made report on the subject
OF filling the place of Lieutenant Colonel, and It Is
believed that election will take place until
the Court of Inquiry matter has been decided
Lieutenant Colonel Smith has many friends among
the officers who would be glad to vote for him.
but until II Is known what course will be pursued
with regard TO that officer nothing can be done
The committee will probably report In favor OF
opposition II Lieutenant-Colonel Smith V turned
