Resolutions Adopted.

The Arkansas School Officers Association held its annual session at Little Rock last week. An equitable assessment of property was urged as the only remedy for providing sufficient school revenue, and the following was adopted:
 sFWhereas, There are, in many of our communities, children who do not attend any school, and whose manner of life tends to cultivate in them idle and vicious habits; and
 sWhereas, Many of these chil- dren become violators of the law while they are yet too young to be punished under the law, and oth- CTS are convicted of offenses and sentenced to be incarceratcd with hardened criminals before they themselves are confirmed in their lawlessEess; and
 ''Whereas, In many states there have been established reform schools which have been singularly successful in correcting these evil and vicious habits, and transform ing into useful and upright citi- 2cns many of the children who are sent there for restraint and in- stluction: therefore, be it /
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this board that our legislature at its next session should take the nec- cssary measures to secure the es- tablishment of state reform school, under such conditions and limitations as may, in their judg- ment, seem best.
 Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the state superintendent of public instruc- ton to be laid before the proper committee of the legislature of this state. ;"

Anti-Saloon League Meeting.

Rev. E. A. Tabor, President of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League, spoke to a large audience at the Methodist church last Sunday night MT. Tabor spoke on the me thods and plans of the Anti i-Saloon League and showed the great good being done by that organization in this state.
 Since the organization of this movement the League has been instrumental in convicting several htildred violators of the liqour law and has effectually destroyed 'sh ind tigers" in several towns.
 Il the course of his remarks MT. T ,or took occasion to "roast" Goy. Jones for his action in par d, ing so many violators of the lie or law, and showed that the w k of the Anti Saloon League had been handicapped by this. Alter Rev. Tabor's speech collec- tion was taken and about $50 SC cured.

The above table will show that there was a great decrease in all kinds of crime in 1900 from the pre- ceding year. There was a great falling off in the number of mur- ders and homicides, and of the two .lynchings reported neither was for the crime popularly supposed to be the chief cause of mob law in the South, and neither was marked by the mob element, being perpetrated ia each instance by small parties of men, who cannot be said to have rep resented the citizenship of the com munities, acting from motive of outraged public sentiment.

night about what he proposes to play

company will open in Manila at the Zu-
rilla theater on November 18th for four
weeks stay December 25th-27th will be
spent at Singapore. and from there the
company will go to Australia.
On this tour Neill says that he expects

made the company a favorite. and he
also expects to have some of the Sue
cesses of this coming season.
Manila was often visited in the old
Spanish days by strolling vaudeville
companies and by circuses, while every
two years a season of grand opera was
given by the members of the Royal Mad
rid company The latter were caugL. in
Manila by Dewey, when he cut off COM
muncation on May l, 1898. A repertoire
company, however, is a new thing there,
and with 5000 Americans and English
and the 5000 soldiers the Neill people
ought to meet with success.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-A contract
| will be signed this week in New York
which marks an epoch in American
| theatrical circles and is of especial In
terest to the people of Manila. Ever
since it was positively known that the
United States would retain possession OF
the Philippine islands it has been the
dream of enterprising amusement vend-
lers to take an English-speaking company
of players to Manila. The hopes of these
men are now to be realized.
| The first attempt to attract an Ameri
can company was made by the late Har
Try +. Seymour, editor OF the Manila
| American, who went to the islands II
the fall of 1898. He entered into CORE
spondence with several American com
panies and took an option on the Zurills
Theater. The outbreak of the Insured
ton stopped all negotiations. This last
ispring. however, Seymour thought the
situation was ripe, and so started for the
United States on the Rio de Janeiro
He never got beyond the Golden Gate
