NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA.
His Indignation at Being spied Upon
 by His Keepers.

His Indignation at Being Spied Upon
 by His Keepers.
 One of thei Talks With Napoleon" quoted from Dr. O'Meara's diary iD The Century records Napoleon's indig- nation at being, as he considered it, spied upon while living at St. HeleLa.
 q understand" said he, that an officer Is placed here to report about me and to see me two or three times in the "A hours and that they are talk ing of making him go into my chamber to see me if I did not come out. Any person." said he then, with considera- ble agitation, "who endeavors to force his way into my apartment will be a corpse the moment he enters it. If he ever eats bread or meat afterward, l am not Napoleon. This I am deter mined on.
 q know that I will be killed after ward, as what can one do against camp? But what of that? l have faced death many a time. Besides am convinced that this governor, this chief of jailers, has been sent out on RoiPOoO to POhDoh iuC VI Pbt lhC tO death some way or another or under some pretext by Lord Castlereagh.
 "I have seen," continued he, Rus sians, Prussians, Arabs, Cossacks. Tartars, Spaniards, Persians, Turks" (here he enumerated a great many more), 'and never in my life before did I behold so i'll favored and forbid ding countenance or so down and horrid look. He carries crime im- printed on his countenance. Ql porte le crime empreint sur son visage) He is man, to judge from his physiogno- my, that one would select for the committal of any atrocious crime and as such has been selected out by your ministers, l suppose, on purpose to make away with me"

RESULT OF WAR.

The retirement of General Joe Wheeler, with the rank of brlgadier general, recalls one of the very best results of the late Spanish war. The obliteration Of all sec tional feeling over the war of the rebellion would never have been brought about by any less occurrence than the opportunity that was afforded the boys who wore the grey from 1861 to 1865 to fight and risk life for the stars and stripes. It is now no longer regarded as a crime to have been a soldier under the great Lee, whose nephew did such heroic service for his country in Cuba and who holds commission as major general in the army.

HAVANA 'tlll GROUND l|I GOOD
Mr. Nelson Thinhs It Richer Than the Klondike.

Patton R. Nelson, who came out on the evening train from the headwaters of the Panama, says he believes that gold field will prove richer than anything in the klondlke. The pay dirt, he says, runs from IS cents to $I a pan, and several thousand dollars have been taken out this season.
 Mr. Nelson had rifle with him which the conductor objected to him carving ir the car. It was taken from him and wher here returned from the baggage car. The express messenger wanted to collect upon it and threatened the arrest of MT. Nelson.

1t might seem strange to those in the sunny southland who regard Alaska as a barren stretch of snow covered glaciers f I Alaskans to commisserate them on account of climatic conditions, but we would not exchange our summer sunshine, or our northern lights of winter tor the hurricane breeding gulf coast. Such narrowing scenes as have just visited the old Lone Star state are impossible in Alaska.

Chamber of Commerce.

Owing to the Arctic Brotherhood reeep- tion this evening, and other attractions, the regular meeting of the chamber of commerce was postponed until Friday. There is great deal of talk around towr as to the petition prepared on the bonding question, and the meeting is bound to be g lively one. For once the chamber oi commerce is aroused and if is thought probable that Dr. keller's rooms will be too small to hold the meeting. @s

The call for fhe first assessment
of the republican campaign fund
has been made, and while it only
reaches few of the largest trusts
vet it is for the magnificent sum of
six million dollars. The Carnegie
steel trust is asked for one and one
half million, while the Standard Oil
Co. comes next for $500, 900. This
will be the largest campaign fund
ever raised to elect president. A
letter has been sent out by con-
ference of Hanna and others calling
attention to the profits the trusts
have secured under republican gov
ernment, and showing reasons why
such a fund is necessary to offset
the great strength the democrats
are developing. We doubt if so
many people can be fooled this year
even with their immense slush fund
as was the case in 1696.-Ex.

To the Honor of ArkSnIas.

BE it said to the everlasting hon
or of Arkansas, that SO far as we
have learned, the shameless women
who were advertised to play base
ball in Hope some two weeks ago,
have not been allowed to play a
date in the state. One town after
another has frowned the hussies
out before they got to the places
they have been advertised to play.
Star of Hope.
Now if the Star of Hope can jump
on the officers and keep the dis
graceful smuggling matches out OF
the state, we will have a pretty
good country after all to live in.
We do not believe in patronizing
anything where a woman has to
unsex herself and Is the central hg
ure to draw money. And there
should be a national law against
these women troupes of baseball
sluggers and other such rot ira
versing the country. We must keep
woman kind in the line Of decency
as far as making public exhibitions
of themselves, and there are only
two ways of doing it, one by law
and the other by withholding pat
ronage. To our city's shame,
some bloomer girls we're allowed to
play here, and we we're told, drew
large crowd of respectable people.
We hope to see the day 0when
Texarkana officials will refuse to
issue license to such troupes.

Yesterday was not an ideal day
for spring wear--it being blustery
and threatening, still some of our
ladies put on their Easter wear and
ventured out to church, and we are
glad to say the rain did not descend
until after the morning services,
and there are, IN consequence, no
damaged ribbons or plumage to be
reported, The churches were all
crowded and our ministers are re-
ported as delivering good sermons,
Texarkana has a good ministry,
and as far as we can learn, the con
gregations are satisfied with them.

We have an abiding faith that
the people will not turn the state of
Arkansas over to such as JEFF Davis.
He may blind them for a time as to
what he really is, but he cannot
keep their eyes closed always.-Eu-
reka Springs Flashlight.
We hope our contemporaries faith
in Arkansas being saved from Davis
together with its prediction may
prove true. But from the way
county after county goes for him
we conclude he is to be our next
governor. And this conclusion eau
ses us to feel the utter lack of sta
bllity of the masses who are support
ing him. When they put him in Of
fee and see his inability to do any
thing but show the eleven hoof, we
hope they will come to their senses,
and never again blindly follow such
demagogue.

We spent an hour over at the
Trigg street depot yesterday and
found Agent Osborn and his clerks
all at work unloading freight and
trucking it into the depot. We
learned from Check Clerk Freeman
that the X, G. S, officials had given
orders to do this work on the Sab
bath, in order not to delay the
freight "a hours, as would be the
case should the cars be left unload
ed, and yesterday all hands were at
work unloading freight and trans
ferring it into other cars. Mr. Os.
born, the agent, and Yard Master
Geo. Mcdowell, did not stand back,
but lent helping hand. We saw
freight come out of one car billed

PLEAD GUILTY.
Conductors Fined for Bringing Small
poxsto the City.

Conductors Ackerman of the
Valley road, and Eccleson of the
Texas and Pacific, who we're under
arrest for violation of city ordi-
nance, have acknowledged their
culpability and paid fines for their
ofenses. No regular trials were
held the cases being settled out of
court.
Each conductor was fined $15 for
his offence which consisted of bring
ing smallpox patients into the city.
The conductors claimed ignorance of
the fact that they had such un-
desirable passengers aboard, and
will henceforth be more careful.
The Importance of these cases is
best illustrated by an abstract from
Health Officer Egan's last annual
report, in which he charges that
smallpox was introduced intoShreve-
port several months ago, by cases
brought here by the railroads. The
disease is practically stamped out
and strict enforcement of the or
dinance will prevent its renewal
Shreveport Times.
1t will be remembered that this
paper time and again called atten-
tion to the fact, before there was
even a case of "Bulloso" here, that
'speckled negroes" from the rail-
road camps at Index, were being
brought to this city daily on the
trains and alloWed.to run on the
street at their own sweet will, and
we asked them after expressing our
doubts as to the disease of being
genuine small pox, to have the
camps quarantined, as it mattered
not what the disease was, it was not
desirable to have. After the dis
ease began to break out here a
commission of three doctors, ap-
pointed by the Bowie county Com
missioners went down to Index and
reported the cases smallpox or
varioloid, but did not run a quaran-
tine on the camp and those people
down there still come to this
city impunity and are yet al
lowed to circulate here freely We
have no one to blame for getting
the city IN the fix it is in but our
own passive selves. Our Board Of
Health on both the East and West
Sides should hold joint sessions and
legislate for the stamping out of
any kind of disease when it appears
here or elsewhere,

PASSING OF YELLOWSTONE PARK.

that the geysers which have made

never visited the park are advised

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube:
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but

this thoroughfare as it stands, is
