tITB FOR COLLEGE WOMEN.
Movement TO Obtain a Building With Accomo-
dations for club Life.

Graduates Of women'S colleges living in the
city are beginning 10 ioin in an informal union
which before long viii have some such visible
expression as the University Club for men The
movement was started in the Womeu's Uni
versity Club, but college graduates not
members OF the club Will be asked
TO join in the attempt TO provide a club
house. II will be- simple al first. 4 house will
be leased in a convenient situation, which viii!
contain an assembly room Tor the different
alumna associations, reading rooms, lunch
rooms and a few bedrooms, The house Will be
near Twenty-third, Thirty fourth or Forty
second streets. 4 canvass Is now being made
10 see which will be most CONVENIENT for the
majority Of college women. The annual dues
will probably be $40.
A club Of this kind vii be particularly con-
venient in New York. The need for such an in
%stitution IL not great in a small place where
most college graduates are living In their own
homes. The opponents OF clubs might consider
that a club under such circumstances would
encourage the club habit which Is already, they
think too strong a one with many women, But a
large proportion Of alumnR in the city are
supporting themselves or are studying at one
OF the colleges. conservatories or art schools
with which New York abounds. In any case
they are probably cooped up In one room in
a boarding house with all the limitations which
a boarding house existence implies. For these
the clubhouse would be a refuge md a privilege.
The transient college girls who materially In
crease the population Of the city during vaca-
having definite headquarters where they might
meet their friends or be met. The closer relation
between college and college which will be
least Of the desirable things 10 be expected.
Several attempts have been made before To
have college club rooms. but they have had no
lunch rooms and have resulted, practically in
being merely reading rooms. The demand for
thsm was very small. since there were 50 many
other onvsniences for reading in the city.
and they were soon given M, BIT, this new
clubhouse. having so many other Inducements
10 offer, will probably be successful. At any rate
graduates will have a chance TO try II for a year,
since the women behind the plan are energetic
and capable and will put II through successfully
If possible. They hone TO have the clubhouse
ready very soon and are At present engaged
in finding out how many graduates they can
RELY upon for membership.

CONDITION OF CROPS
Report of Capt. J. NJ. Hudson, One Of the Best Posted Men in the Country.

Capt. J. NJ. Hudson, who repre- sents the United States Agricultural and Weather Bureau in this county. and is one of the best judges on the condition Of cotton and other crops, gave out the following to a Graphic reporter this morning:
 The weather since August has been dry and very warm. Up 10 that date tno much rain had fallen in about one-half the county. eaus- ing the cotton 10 grow very fast and not take on many bolis. The other hall of the county had hardly enough rain for the pest crop conditions but crops of all kinds did better in this part Of the county than when rain was more abundant. The dry, hot winds of the past 10 days have iDiur- ed the cotton crop to an exteLt that can hardly be appreciated. In the hill country it is cut fully B per cent and in the bottom country from that down 60 9 per cent. It is too late nAv for rain to benefit cotton much except on low lands where the cot ton is sm all and contains very little fruit. Rain will benefit this portion of the crop. 1t will also fill ont the half grown bolls on the older cotton, but it will not make any more bolls after this date. Cotton is opening prematnrely on account of dry weather and picking will he general by Sept. l. which is 10 days earlier than usual y

 Taos. Osborne, of New York, lead CT of the "Nationalists," or third party ticket, was recognized to speak on the resolutions.
 Mir. Osborne said there were many who could support neither Mckinley DOT Bryan, not believing it right to remedy one wrong by the substitution of another.
 We cannot trust the democratic party as it stands today. (Cries Of "Boshl How much did Mark Han na pay you to come here?D
 Mr. Osborne continued: 1T be : lieve a third tidket must arise to command the suffrage and con- science of the voters. When you tie up question of conscience with something which 8 large majority of your people do not believe in, you destroy the force of your argu- ment.n
 Mir. Osborne moved an amend ment striking out that portion of the sesolutions which advised the support of Bryan.
 The amendment was vigorously opposed by some and as strongly supported by other speakers. Al ter half a dozen or more haG. spoken the conyen tion adjourned until o'clock.

THAT BAND CONTRACT.
The Fist Regiment Band of Little
 Rock Will Probably Get It.

The Pine Bluff State Fair Asso. citation has not up to the present writing closed con tract with a band to play at the state fair to be held in this city in October. The American Concert Band, of thirty musicians, which played at the Dewey reception ir Chicago, is too expensive an aggregation for the assoclation, and it is hardly proba- ble that it will be engaged. It's of fer IS very reasonable one, but the expense to the association in bring ing the members to this place would be very great. The First Regiment Band, which furnished music at the last fair, may secure the contract, for it's offer is the most reasonable yet received by the association. It is one of the finest bands in the couotrv and under ex- cellent leadership.
 The Fair Association is very anx ious to give the contract to home organization, but the Cotton Belt Band here makes very unreasona- ble offer aud will not deduct to suit the occasion. There are no more sincere believers in home en terprises h the country than the directors of the Pine Bluff State Fair Assoca- tion, and they would like the best in the world to have the Cotton Belt Band receive the contract, but under the present offer cannot award it to those musicians.

4 SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS.
Was the Barbecue Given in Plum
 Bayou Township Thursday.

The steamer Old Rip with it's happy but tired cargo ot human freight returned from Plum Bayou township today at noon. It left this city Thursday morning at 6 o'clock for County Treasurer-elect Jesse R. Cores place, where the good people of that township gave 8 grand and successful barbecue. The affair was the most enjoyable ever given in this county and the Pine Btufians who participated are loud in telling of the unexceiled hospitality of the Plum Bayou resi- dents and especially the kindness Of Mir. Core. The meats were barbe- eued by competent market men and other eatables and refreshments were served during the day. Large crowds of young people were there from Tucker, Sherrill, English and other nearby towns ard the dancing program was immense. The Cotton Belt bands orchestra headed by Prof LeMaire was carried up on the boat and furnished music. There were many other attractions to in terest and en certain the guests and in all it was 8 long to be remember : ed affair.
 The steamer left here at { 8. m. sharp Thursday morning, but got istuck for awhile on a sandbar up the .iver, and did not reach Plum Bayou until 1:30 p. m. On it's re- turn the boat steamed out at 5 a. m. this (Friday] morning, and reached here at 12 o'clock, noon, being de layed by the boiler getting out of order.
 There were several thousand peo- pie on the grounds; even those Plum Bayou voters, who breathed their last many years ago, were on hand. Never before did the partic. ipants have such grand time as thati enjoyed at Plum Bayou. Among the many who attended from this city were: Misses Trip Lindsay, Mary Lindsay, Maggie Willbourne, Minnie Chestnut, Pearl Levy, Mss List; Mesdames Will Miller, George List, H. Le Maire and daughter. Messrs. Wade Knox, Frank Ragland, Will Benton Ernest Plummer, Jlm Allen, Leon Levy, L. o Knox, H. A. Mccoy, George List, Will Miller, Maurice Altheimer, Felix Hall, J. D.
