that any serious division of the party

The Catholic School.

St. Anselm's school, under the direc- ton and tutorship of Ven. Sister NJ. Wal burger, was opened in this city October 1, 1897, and the closing of it's third success tul term was celebrated in St. Mary's church in this city on May 2s, 1900.
 The occasion was one in which many of our citizens and all the patrons of the school had good cause to rejoice, inasmuch as Sisters M. Walburger and NJ. Luitgardis had labored so earnestly and zealously for the intellectual growth and spiritual ad Yancement Of the pupils in their charge. and had by painstaking and successful methods brought the attendance up from an average of about twenty-five souls dur ing the term of 1S9T-9S 10 a roll call of seventy pupils for the term of lSs9-lgoo. This Is indeed most gratifying increase. and demonstrates what determined man aided by a little band of christian ladies may do when conditions demand.
 The honor for the establishment of this school falls gracefully upon the shoulders ot our fellow townsman, MT. l.. k. Grob- myer. He has devoted his time and means towards its mantainance. even go- ing so far as to build an addition to the church, which served as temporary home for the sisters, at an expense of S60 or S70. which was paid out Of his own pocket.
 MT. Grobmyer is man who never pa rades his good and charitable deeds bt : fore the eyes of the multitude, but takes his reward and pleasure from the hapni. ness and good cheer of those about him He has carried the burden in foundino this school and has never become discour- aged since the opening in October. 1897. with the attendance of that omnious number. IS, 10 the present time. when his dreams are about to be realized in A substantial and weil-founded institution of learning for the Catholics in Forrest City.
 Others will be induced to enter into the cause with renewed interest and enthnsi. asm bY witnessing the fruits of this good mans labor.

Death of Mrs Giles

Mrs. x. Giles, one of the pioneer set tiers of St. Francis county, lady well known and beloved in this community. died last Friday at her home about six miles north of this city and was buried Saturday in the Hughes ceme- tery. She was the mother of Messrs. Jack and Henry Giles, two of our sub. stantial citizens and prosperous plant CTS, and Mrs. John May, who are deep- ly grieyed and bowed down in sorrow and sadness by reason of this separa- tion from the deares, and best of all earthly relatlyes-mother. The sym- pathy of TIE TINES and host of aequantances in this city go out to the bereaved family. We know how futile any feeble words from human tongue ol pen must be in offering condolence to wounded spirits and bruised hearts which God only can heal. He it is Who alleviates our keenest bangs, and to Him We commend these good friends ln thls, their hour of gloom.

We Win Again.

It IS to be presumed that all ball teams have their of days" but the patrons of the sport always weary in witnessing a game of loosely played ball.
 The game yesterday between the Choc. jaws and Little Rock was quite interest ing to many although it was not played With that snap and interest which true lovers of tlTe sport relish. 1t was the Choctaws' victory by a score of Is to 15. and we are all gratifed by reason of hay ing won. II shows us another thing. that our team have the determination and te naclly to hang on to losing game.
 The batting was phenomenal on both sides, and, although the entire Little Rock team concentrated their efforts upon Hale and endeavored to ''raltle' him by every means known in the ''rooterss yo- cabu!ary, he went on through the game with grim purpose and his work is high. ly commendable,
 Notwithstanding number of inexeus. able errors were made on either side the game was interspersed by numerous bril- liant plays in which Johnnie Mehan nj second base comes in for his share of the praise. He made some beautiful stops and put outs, and Jas, Gillian, our shortstop held up his reputation and made several pretty catches.
 Geo. Lorraine's work behind the "stick,' was excellent and no player on the team worked harder to bring the game up to :, point of interest
 IL seemed to be an off day with every. body and yet degree of caution was In- jected into the play that kept the crowd swayed between sensations of mingled fear and hIlarity The rooters were out in full force and the Choctaws colors were freely hourished by the fans. Miss Court ney Andrews was lovely in blue dress with the word "Choctaws" across the bodice in white letters.
 Another game between the same teams is being played this afternoon.
 The next attraction will be strong Memphis team which will be with us on July IS and l9. In the meantime the Choetaws will go to Wynne Tuesday to cross bats with the team of that town.

ENTERTAINED.
A Pleasant Evening With a query
 Program and rIusic.

No family in the city bears more enVlab!e reputation as entertainers and no home is more widely known for its hospitality than that of Mr. and Mrs Q, E. Roliwage, and when inyi. tahons bidding about eighteen couples to participate in an entertainment given by Miss Pearl Anderson and Miss Tolise Rolwage were issued the first of the week many were all anutter' i'll anticipation of the occasion which took place Wednesday evening under most favorable conditions.
 The guests began to arrive about 9:30 of the clock and soon the parIors were filled with bright eyes and hand some faces.
 A literary program composed of a list of phrases containing two or more wolus, the first letters of which were the initials of some author or well known historical character. i. e.. Al ways LoyaP'-A braham Lincoln. etc. This list was handed to each couple. and the names for winch the first let ters of each word stood must be sup piled from the guests knowledge of history or literature. in which contest prize and boobY prIze were offered
 Eleven couples filled out the entire program correctly, and in the draw Miss Pearl Crippen won and was pre- seated with Black and White,n a book by Rudyard kipling
 For the booby. MT, Henry Tipton. of Dyersburg, Tenn, and Mir. Ashbe Neel became involved in d draw in which MT. Neel wor, the prize being some kind of novelty.
 Besides this query program charm Ing musical program was rendered which threw many of the party into a wilderness of happy sensations where they would doubtless have been pleas ed to remain indefinitely.
 Dainty refreshments were served and the entire evening was filled with rare delights and eunobling and elevat- ing influences.
 Those present were: Gus Sweet and Miss Mary Lancaster, Hall Sanders and Miss Elise Prewett, James Izard and Miss Martha Hatcher, Emmett Butord and Miss Mary Nerwin.

The Arrow Pierced the Heart

At the home of the lovely bride in this city Sunday afternoon happy wedding was solemnized which set many tongues wagging and many heads bobblng. Some were mute in their astonishment and surprise, some wihked their wise eye knowingly as much as to say, we had an inkling that something of the kind was going to happen, and others were frank tp con- Tess that they knew nothing of it, but everybody was glad that Miss Drucilla was happy, for the affair of which We write was the marriage Sunday after noon at i o'clock of Miss Drucilla Davis, of this city, to MT. Joe Mosby. ot Charlottesville, Ark.
 \ wedding seldom. if ever. causes a Hurry among the inhabitants of this 'ourg, and the excitement generally subsidies before the knot is tied, but this was so unexpected, such d newsy piece of news that people talked about It many hours after t was all over. But then Miss Drnce was such jolly l acquaintance, so dearly beloved by numerous friends in the city, that scarcely anyone cared to believe the story, being 10th tu part with her.
 It was the elimination of a romantic courtship in which the gallant wooer was so ardent and persistent that he would not allow the object of his af- lection any peace of mind until she had given him her heart and hand.
 It was a love match, truly, and the coy little school mistress has the best wishes of numerous pupils in this county for felicity and unbounded joy in her new relations, in which TIE TIMES and the citizens of the entire community healtily join.
 The bridal party left Sunday even- ing at 5:37 o'clock over the Choctaw via Memphis for their home at CraN fordsyille.

Depths OF Mines.

The produce of a coal seam five feet
thick is 5000 tons per acre. and taking
this as an average thickness the area
Of coal annually worked amounts to
nearly y! 600 acres. or four times the
area IF thu county If London. With
this rapid rate If consumption anxiety
as to the duration Of III" British coal
fields Is wen founded. Professor HUI
estimates that the total quantity of
coal within a depth Of 1000 feet still
remaining is 81 IS. 600 600 tons This
estimate is reaSsuring. although it i
not in accord with the less optimistic
and divergent views on the question
expressed by Professor stanley JrVonS.
by the Right Honorable Leonard H.
Courtney. by Mr.. l.. Price Williams
and by Mr.. T. Forster Brown. All
these estimates are Of slight value.
owing to the impnsSibilty Of prnphc-
sying either the rate of increase in
production and consumption. or the
limits ut which mining may ~ carried
on with profit. Early in the las; cen
fury shaft 100 feet in depth WAS an
object of wonder. and glance over
the history Of the DEPTHS hitherto at
tanned clearly shows The remarkably
rapid progress that has been made in
this respect. At the present time the
greatest depth ut which Great Britain
mining operations are carried IN has
been reached ut the Pendleton CollierY
near Manchester. where the deepest
workings are nearly $500 f-ct below
the surface.
This enormous depth has. however.
been exceeded in other countries. nota-
bly, in the Lake Superior district.
where the Red Jacket shaft or the
Calumet and Hecla copper mine has
now attained the record depth of 800
feet: ana in Belgium. where collery
at Mons IL %.937 feet deep Depths
such as these show that the limit of
depth Of 1000 feet adopted by Pro-
fessor HUH and by the Royal coal
commissioners IN 1870. though riIicued
at the time, was well within the
bounds of possibility. In view of the
marvellous efficiency If modern wind
ing engines. no considerations Of 4
mechanical nature need limit the pro-
Spective depths of shafts. BY far the
most important obstacle to very deep
mining IL the certain ana proper
tionate increase Of temperature ac-
cording to depth. At the ParuschoWitz
borehole, in Silesia, the deepest in the
world. recently put down by the Prus-
sian government to a depth of 6.573
feet. this increase of temperature with
depth has been found to one degree
Fahrenheit for 62l feet. Taking this
rs a fair average a coal seam at a
depth of 1000 feet would be. without
the cooling action Of an artificial ven
tilatng current "a degrees warmer
than ground near the surface.-From
the Nineteenth Century
