FELLOWS TO
OWN A BUILDING
Plan to Erect Fine Structure
Upon Upper Fort
Street.

Plans are being made by the architect
for the Odd Fellows for the building
which it is proposed to erect upon the
plot of the lodge at Fort street and
Chaplain lane. There will be submit
ted to the building committee of Excel
sior Lodge, four sketches of the propos-
ed structure. These will include two
each for the use of native lava rock and
of terra Gotta and pressed brick. The
latter medium is most favored by many
of the men who are in the front of the
project, as the result would be a build
ing of a lighter and more handsome
appearance.
There will be no decision reached un-
til the sketches are ready and then
alternative tenders VIII be asked for
the purpose Of settling upon the cost of
the structure. 1t Is the hope of the
lodge that there will be no necessity
for the expenditure of more than $75. .0o0
in the erection at the building.
Preliminary surveys of the lot OF the
lodge have been made. The lot Is l28
by I15 feet and VIII afford a site FOR 4
~ large han and series of lodge
roenis. Il Is the expectation that the
final decision will be made before the
end OF the year.

THE LILLIpUTIANS AS THEY
ARE AWAY FROM FOOTLIGHTS

FES He Lilliputians on the stage and off
are different persons. or children
rather. and make quite as much of
an impression when they are nat
ural as when they are generally sup
posed to be initiating some one. OF
the stage the Lilliputians are nothing but
children, and do not pretend to be any
thing else. They have their childish
games, and around the Hawaiian Hotel
one may find interested groups busily
playing jackstraw. No matter how many
older persons may gather to witness their
games they do not pose, but drop their
stage Identities completely. One has to
figure as to who played this part and
that part, who played the leading lady $
role, or that of the comedian, or the in
genue. Few of these talented children
display the talents they possess when off
the stage. This is all brought out in
front of the footlights, and one is ama2-
ed that the rollicking children he has
seen around the hotel are so well trained
as to be miniature men and women be-
fore an audience.
Whatever may be their diversified roles,
wherein they play as persons twice and
thrice their ages, they are nothing but
the children of from six to thirteen years
off the stage, as innocent of the realisms
which they enact professionally as any
youngsters who daily attend schools and
are still tied to the apron strings of their
fond mammas.
This is especially true of little Daphne

many parts on the stage. Little Daphne

Miss Alice Benetto, the star of the COM
pany, who off the stage is as retiring and
unobtrusive as she is prominent and full
of the dash of life before the footlghts,
expressed herself as well pleased with

Oldest Bell In America.

The oldest bell in America is in, the
little Catholic chapel in the village OF
st, Regis, on the st. Lawrence river.
The bell in that church, says the Nor
wich Aurora, was taken from Deer
field at the time OF the French and
Indian invasion of that place, and, it
is said, was suspended on pole and
carried on the shoulders of the Indians
through the wilderness to the place
where it now hangs. 1t was originally
purchased in France by the Church of
St. Regis, and the vessel in which it
was being taken to Quebec was cap
tured by an English cruiser, and taken
into the port Of Salem. The bell, as
par; of the cargo, was sold, and
bought by the church in Deerfeld. The
invaders OF Deerfeld were from st.
Regis, and took special pride in re-
capturing and returning the bell.

TESTING PRECIOUS STONES.
How to Distinguish Between the Genuine
and Spurious Article.


Consul-General Guenther, of Frank
fort, writes to the State Department as
follows:
an a lecture on precious stones. re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
Association of Berlin, DR.. 1mmanud
Friedlaender said that the testing of dla-
monds is comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness suffices. Ii
the stone resists strong attacks it is GER
tain to be genuine; if it does not, the
damage is Insignificant, as only an imi-
tation has been destroyed. This test,
however, is doubtful with rubies. 1t
ruby can be affected by steel file or by
quartz, it is surely not genuine; but such
a test with a topaz is liable to injure
valuable stone. y.
"The test for hardness is of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone is not much
harder than quartz, and, in addition,
possesses the quality Of cracking easily.
For examining rubies and emeralds
the optical test is best. A glass magni-
flying about one hundred times suffices.
Every expert knows that almost all pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have many
defects, which are so characteristic that
the genuineness of the stones is readily
established. Such test IS very neces-
sary with rubies, because the limitations
are very deceiving. Their color is abb
solutely durable and often much finer
than that of the genuine, although 1t
may be stated that somewhat yellow
ish tint is always suspicious.
"The only reliable way in which genu-
inc rubies can be told from limitations is
by the minute air bubbles of the latter,
which become clearly visible under the
magnifying glass. These are not to be
found in the M aral gem; on the other
hand, the limitations lack certain defects
characteristic of genuine rubies-certain
vacuums, whose outlines are much more
indistinct than those of the air bubbles in
limitations.
"True emeralds have similar charae-
teristic defects, such as Enclosures Of
liquids, and curious dendrites. Sap
phires also. show peculiar netlike forna-
tions.''-NeaU York Times.

Gordon's voice now trembled as he

1t was to be our last night together.
We ate q mournful supper, and sat
long on the porch, Gordon, Uncle

with our thoughts, but said few words.
Each of us was too full of bitterness
and sadness to say much.
In the morning they accompanied
me to Doctor 'Warren's Office in the
Reception Hospital. The old man

was. He had dealt too long with the
dread disease to make any mistake.

easy chair.

"No. Why prolong the misery oi

From reliable Information, work will
be commenced this spring, but it is
to be regretted that the road does
not touch Forsyth. This road will
wonderfully increase the value of
property in your country. It will
give you an "utlet tor the produc-
tions of the farmer and fruitman and
will create growing and permanent
prosperity instead Of q transient
boom Of imitation.
Another thing you need is the i'm
provement of White river to render
it navit able as far as Forsyth. The
U. S. Senate is now struggling with
the Harbor and River appropriation
and have added over twenty millions
to the sixty millions appropriated by
the House. There are some fears of
it's failure, as the leaders do not want
to bear the onus of so great extrav-
agance. If the bill docs not contain
an appropriation for tho White river,
can you not suggest to your senator's
the Importance of such a provision?
This bill at the best il but a great
grab game, enacted by 'log rolling"
and q division of the "pie." Your
senator's weuld readily grant your
request, as the extravaganza of the
administration would not injure the
Democratic party, and the Demo-
Gratis will gladly vote for the bill in
its entirety, provided their constit-
uents have q share in the spoil.
Should this fail, can not you induce
your legislature to make an appro-
priation for this purpose; or author
ize your county to issue bonds for
the purpose, aud if all these plans
parted, I would get up private cor
poration with power to reimburse
the expenditure by the imposition of
tolls. What you want is to make
Forsyth tho head of navigation,
which would make your town an
entrepot and business emporium of
no small magnitude.

RAILROAD FROM THE SOUTH.
Coming this Way and Will Cross
Taney County.


Last week we reprinted an article
from the Springfield Leader-Demo-
crat telling of the incorporation of
the White River Railroad company.
Further advices are to the effect
that two thousand five hundred and
ninety-nine shares have been SUBJ
scribed to the capital stock of this
corporation, and all but IL are owned
by George Gould, one of the prin-
cipal owners of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain system as well as the
Texas Pacific and Cotton Belt. A
number OF the other directors are
also officials of the Iron Mountain,
and some are residents of Little Rock
and Batesville. Thus it is seen that
the balance of power is held in
region where Missouri Pacific inter-
ests already hold sway.
The map and profile were filed
with the charter, and 1t is proposed
to construct the railroad from point
two miles rest of Batesville on the
White river branch Of the Iron
Mountain, in q northwesterly direc-
tion through the counties of Inde-
pendence, Isard and Marion to
point near the state line on the
boundary line between Marion and
Boone counties. The road will run
to within about 20 miles of Harrison
in Boone county, and will be 130
miles in length. After traversing
tho rich mining region of north
Arkansas, this will bring them to
the southern portals Of Taney ooun-
ty's mineral fields, fruit and grazing
lands, and with the mineral fields of
Christian and Greene counties and
tho queen city of Springfield as OBJ
jective points to the north, it is not
likely that they will delay long i'll
crossing our borders and traversing
this rich and undeveloped country.
It il said that this corporation IS
in NO way connected with the Little
Rock & Northern; but that the Gould
lines made their survey about two
years ago, and that the work of con-
struction will begin at an early date.
The situation has resolved itself into
an active rivalry between the Gould
system of railroads aud the Frisco,
- to which will get control of the
transportation of this region. Under
present circumstances both hold such
advantages that it is likely neither
will surrender to the other, and thus
tho prospects are good for two rail
roads instead of one. So far a.
Taney county is concerned, there is
space enough for two railroads to
cross in either direction, without
crowding each other or either mon
opolizing the patronage, providing
the topography would permit num-
Der OF selections as to routes, which
We believe it does.
The probable results are we'll
summed up in the following words
from an editorial in the Springfield
Leader-Democrat: "We feel certain
that the Gould line will push right
up from Marion county, Arkansas,
to Springfield and that by then a
scheme will be devised to 60 on
north to Warsaw, Versailles and
probably Bagnell, which was the
original idea. There is every reason
to believe that the Frisco will 60
south into Little Rock and that the
Chadwick branch will be extended"
