Sharp County record., 1900-10-12

Much dissatisfaction is express
sed in many quarters concerning
the population Of the state as
given ouaoy the authorities at
WashingtJi. 1t is claimed that
the dgur55 do not reach the
amount THY should really show.
Whether the fault lies with the
enumeratogs or with the federal
officials, VINO might not have de-
sired that two additional demo-
cratic members should be sent to
congress from Arkansas, is mere
ly a matter of conjecture. Many
Of the Larger towns Of the state
are entering vigorous protests
against the report Of their popu-
lation. And their protests seem
justifiable. Fort Smith is given
as an example. Her population
as given cut by the census bu-
reau is only 296 larger than it
was in 1890. In the past ten
years this city has acquired new
lines Of railroad and many new
industrial enterprises, which
would naturally increase its pop
ulation, and yet this increase is
reported to be only 296. Pine
Bluff, Hot Springs, Helena and
other cities are demonstrating
against the injustice done them.
But it will do no good. They
hsye no power to right this

Subsequently Princess Adelaide cruelty disap-

Denmark the hand and Prussia and Austria

Powers with the avowed purpose Of placing him
the throne Of the two duchies Of Schleswig-Hol-

sooner, however, had the allied forces succeeded
in wrestling the duchies from the King Of Denmark
than the late Prince Bismarck cyncally announced
that the victOrs would retain duchies for them
selves, on the ground that It would be wicked TO
subject an intelligent people TO the rule of so

niece of Queen Victoria was disappointed IN her
expectations Of occupying European throne, which
ambition Of every princess of the blood in Europe.
All these circumstances. together with financial

place in the afternoon ard evening. respectively.

of polite gatherings OF this kind. Fine audiences
attended both and demonstra tions Of delight on the
part Of the listeners the order Of the day.
Mr. Hamburg trotted out some og the familiar
war horses of the pianoforte virtuos, such the
Bach-Liszt Introduction and Fugue in A minor,
the Schumann Fantasia in c, and some Chopin
pieces but supplemented them with less known
pieces Of the kind calculated to display the char
acteristics Of his style Of paying-an intermezzo

prize song in Die MeistersnEer'' and two pieces
by Rubinstein, whom it is his ambition 10 emulate,

Mr. Bispham's recital was a delightful affair and
