Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1901-02-20

Mardi Gras was well and appropri- ately observed and celebrated in Pine Bluff Tuesday night At about 8 o'clock the down town streets began to fill up with maskers, and as the hours passed the streets were liter ally crowded with persons who had taken the advice of friends and put on new faces, while several hundred spectators gathered on the street cor ners and in the various saloons to see the sights. The saloons did a regular Hand office business" and many maskers were highly intoxicat- ed. On the whole, however, the crowds were orderly, due perhaps to the way in which Night Chief Peter son and his force managed affairs.
 At Jones' hall, the negroes of the city gave a masquerade ball and the black population ragged" to their hearts content. At this place sev- eral fights were matched but were ab- ruptly stopped by the arrests of the "mischief-makers." A policeman was one of the floor committee and his presence prevented the usual trou- bles.
 Among the maskers on the streets were some very good characters. Uncle Sam. with his flag of "Old Glory visited the various rendezvous to see that the boys and girls, espec- ially the "Spaniards'' and "Filipi- nos,' conducted themselves properly. and "Dewey' was tLere to see that Uncle Sam was not monkeyed with. Carrie Nation, the Kansas Cyclone" was present with her little hatehet, but realizing that she was in Arkansas, did not puncture the sa- looms. An amusing and unusual oc- currence was the plunging of two Sisters with perfect make-ups, at local crap table. Then there were several "Old Joshes' from the coun- try. They carried their chin whis- kers with them. Original clowns were the fools of the occasion. Fearful looking devils from the in fernal regions,and typical moss backs came down from Little Rock with placards on their backs, bearing the following words: "Damphools, Head quarters State Legislative Halls. '' Hans" an amusing Dutchman from Dutchland, was among the stars, y while Aunt Dinah," with her flat boat feet paraded the streets as one of Pine Bluffs 400" There were numbers of amusing and interesting characters among them and for sev. eral hours Pine Bluflians enjoyed Mardl Gras to a Kings taste"
