There are a number OF ladies in
Viniia who could enter the Fort
Smith street fair contest with an
excellent show of wining the prize

town enters the contest Vinita
ought to get in in time to win the
prize.

There is absolutely nothing in
the argument heard in certain
quarters that the sale oi intoxi-
cants and the toleration Of Sunday
ball games will bring business TO
Vinita or any other town. This
city is a standing refutation of
that argument. Travelling men
tell US that Yinita is the best bust
ness point in the whole territory,
and 1t is about the only place
where whiskey and beer are not
sold.

In the consideration of the mat

question--is it right? Ifit is in
violation of the common law of

itis in violation of Gods higher
Jaw then it certainly ought not to
be allowed. Any intelligent per-
son can settle these questions for
himself.

Mr.. George H. Broadhurst's 'Wh,
Smith Left Home" written with the
benevolent purpose of Tightening
the hearts of men, and incidentally
to diffuse cheerfulness in the pre-
cincts Of the box office, arrives De
cember 2, for three nights at the
Seattle theater.
The characters Of the play include
John Smith, who, for the space OF
the evening, bears a large burden OF
human Affections, a cook lady with
an Irish brogue and an expansive
smile, as comely a wife as could be
produced in the open market Of the
Rialto, newly welded, and on whose
account all his troubles begin; a
demure maid, whose lips are kiss
able, or else the action of the piece
were a mockery; and number OF
other individualities, whose special
function it is to add to the hilarity
of the entertainment. Well, the
public found out all about Jones,
laughed itself hoarse over his adyen-
lures, and is now prepared to do the
same thing when it discovers Just
why one member of the Smith FAM
ily came to leave home This farce

don, at the Strand theater, where
it ran for months, and when it W.
brought to the Madison Square the
ater, New York, it was pronounced
the biggest hit Of the season, dur
ing long engagement.
The production of 'Why Smith
Left Home will be marked on this
occasion by the elaborate costumes
worn by the ladies, which will con-
tain some of the latest Partisan i'm
portations said to be marvels in the
modiste's art.
The ladies of the cast are: Rose
Hubbard, Nellie Maskell, Lizzie
May Ulmer, Elenor La Sale
Blanche Everson, Bessie Bruno and
Charlotte Love. The gentlemen
are: Douglas Flint, Eugene Redding,
Augustus Mortimer, Frederick Rob

Was Not Poisoned.

The sudden death of Miss Mabel
ingalls, at Ballard a few days ago,
which resulted in the body being ex-
humed and chemical analysis made
of the vitals under belief that she
had been given poison by Mrs. Laura
Lourie, who had given Miss ingalls,
and her friend a glass of wine the
day before she died, resulted in the
complete exoneration Of Mrs. Laurie
by the coroner's jury. The theory
of the doctors who attended the
young lady was substantiated in the
post mortem examination which was
held by DR. Bories and others. No
poison. was found in tile system
whatever except that inserted By the
undertakers. The parents Of Miss
Ingalls, were almost absolutely GER
tain that she had been administered
poison by Mrs. Laurie, but as none
was found in the system they must
be convinced that they were mis-
taken. As Mrs. Laurie has been
under police surveillance ever since,
it must have been a great relief to
her mind to be freed from the bane
of suspicion as having murdered a
young lady for whom she possessed
undying friendship.

"a most excellent meeting, from
which some very beneficial results

Sullivan Had Relatives.

1t IS not very difficult matter fol
any man who dies worth 100000
as was the late Mr.. John Sullivan
who died in this city and whose
property is valued at that amount,
to find sufficient number of rela-
tives, or alleged relatives, to claim
the estate. During Mr. Sullivan's
lifetime and since his death, it was
not known that he had relative OF
any kind, in this or any other coun-
try, either near or distant; but it
now transpires that two brothers and
one sister have turned up, and are
claiming the estate. If their side of
the story is to be believed, they have
established a clear case of identity
and relationship to the dead pioneer
of this city and will soon be able to
claim for themselves 100000 each
Of that estate Each Of them is poor
in financial way and work for their
daily bread, and such a sum would
doubtless prove a godsend to them
in their old AGE.

Great Ships for the Pacific

and Arizonian, each of 16,5OO tons

ment of the iron steamships to be
built at New London, the Alaskan
and the Arizonian were the largest
freight steamers ordered in the
United States.
The steamships to be built at New
London, it will be noticed, are OF
lust double the size of the freight
steamers to be built on the Pacific
coast. Each has a length of $50 feet
and width of 73 feet, while the
Kearsarge, the largest of our battle
ships, has length of 376 feet and
a width of ~ feet. These great
freight carriers will undoubtedly
be followed by others in the develop
ment of our Pacific trade.
After the close of the Spanish
war, in 1898, there was great activ-
ity in ship building in the United
States. In the year 1898 the United
States build 1877 vessels, with 216,-
164 tonnage. In the same yeal
Germany build 155 vessels, with
173,164 tonnage. In 1899 tho
United States stood next to Great
Britain in ship building, turning
out 149 vessels with 283,964 to-

with 1872 vessels and 1925 ton
