A New Gould Line.

Articles of incorporation of the Memphis, Helena & Louisiana rail road company have been filed with the secretary of state and a charter granted by the board of railroad commissioners. The proposed road IS the longltalked-of Gould branch, the ultimate terminus of which, it Is said, is New Orleans, to give a short line from St. Louis to the Cres- cent City, parallelling the Missis- slppi river. The officers are not given, but Geo, J, Gould is presi- dent. The proposed road will be- gin at point on the Memphis branch, 2,000 feet west of mile post 87, in Crittenden county, about four miles from Memphis, and run in a southwesterly direction through sev- en counties, Crittenden, St. Francis, Lee, Phillips, Arkansas, Desha and Chicot, to a point on the state line between Arkansas and Louisiana in Chicot county.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Mighty Good Advice.

Bishop Evans Tyree, in address ing the A. M. E. Conference at Morrilton, gave utterance to the fol- lowing: q am glad that I am a negro. I have neither desire or in- clination to get away from my race. I know that our people are not just what we would like to have all of them be, but by the help of God we intend to lift them up to higher plane in this country. I say this country, for this is our country we have labored and helped to make it what it Is. We have helped to clear away the virgin forest, helped to pave the way, and today we are here with our white neighbors and intend to enjoy it. We are aware of the fact that there is no social equality and perhaps will never be, for none of us are trying to bring it about. Every intelligent, sensible negro wants to be entertained by his own and the same is true with the whites They do not want to entertain us socially, nor do they want us to entertain them, but they want every man to cultivate and build up his own social standing, Lift up our own women. It Is along this line that we must work and not play. Get something in your head, in your heart and in your pocket and the world will respect you. The negro must lift up himself. He must be something in this country. Do not get discouraged, but work hard. The negro must fight sin and wrong. We are not doomed to Africa, but here is where we must stay, here is where we must fight evil. We must break up Sunday excursions, whisky drinking, knock the bungs out of the barrels and let the whisky run out. There is nothing that has retarded the progress of our people more than whisky drinking and I think it should be stopped"

Seek to Estop Prosecution.

The Waters-Pierce Oil Company by its agent, E. D. Irvine, last week filed in the supreme court petition of prohibition against the officials of Pope county. On April 7 Prosecut- ing Attorney Russell filed a com plaint against the Waters-Pierce Oil Company as corporation or ganized under the laws of Missouri in 1878, alleging that since March 6, 1899, said company has been gull ty of certain violations of the anti trust law of 1899. Service of pro- cess was had on B. D. Irvine, as the agent of said company With out entering his appearance or waiv- ing defect of service, Irvine filed suggestion of the dissolution prior to the date of the summons served on him, of the Waters Pierce Oil Company, organized under the laws of Missouri in 1878, alleging that the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, of which he is agent, and which is at present doing business in this state, was organized in Missouri on May 29, 1900. Upon this ground they moved that the cause be abated. The court oyerruled this prayer, and fhereupon the oil company, without entering its appearance, filed a mo. tion to quash the service of sum mons This was overruled and the oil company was ordered to answer at
 the November term of 1901 of the
 Pope circuit court. Upon this state
 of facts a writ of prohibition is sought, restraining attorney and cir
 cult judge from further proceeding in said cause. The prosecuting at- torney contends that the reorganized
 company is the same as the old one.

TO REVIEW SITUATION
PLYMOUTH CHURCH WILL DECIDE
IT'S FUTURE NEXT WEEK.

What will be the future of Plymouth
church will in all probability be determ-
ined next Wednesday evening. At tina t
time the congregation will hold a special
meeting to hear a report from a COM
m1ttee appointed some months ago to
thoroughly canvass the situation and pre-
sent before the congregation plan of ac-
ton.
There have been four courses suggested,
consolidation with the Peoples church,
consolidation with the Park Congrega-
tional church, an integral division of the
membership, with letters to whichever
other churches the individual may prefer,
and continuation of Plymouth church as
it now is.
The present active membership of Ply
mouth church is between 225 and $50, al
though the rolls contain many more than
that number of names.
The committee to which the matter was
referred at the last congregational meet
ing consists of seven members. This
committee has not thus far given any in
dication as to what the nature of its re;
port will be, and it's recommendation will
be announced for the first time at the
meeting of next Wednesday evening.

TALKED ABOUT BIRDS
CHAPMAN ENTERTAINS A LARGE
AUDIENCE
Delightful Description of Bird Life
and Observation-Disclosures How
Best to Study TheIn-PIeads
for Their Protection.

For scientific, economic and aesthetic
reasons the habits of birds should be
studied and the birds themselves should be
protected" stated Frank M. Chapman, of
New York, before a large gathering of
interested people in the assembly hall
of the Central high school yesterday aft
ernoon. Mr.. Chapman is a member of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory and a staunch friend of birds His
lecture on "How to Study Birds, de-
livered under the auspices of the st. Paul
Teachers association, was refreshingly
free from scientific terms and replete with
short stories and incidents which proved
how thoroughly en- rapport he is with
everything that pertains to the habits
of birds The fall, said the lecturer was
the best time to take up the study of
birds, for so few birds brave the rigor
of Minnesota winter that the student is
not confused by a variety The wood
pecker, a few sparrows, the snow bunt-
ing, the owls and a few other birds, had
things very much to themselves during
the frosty season in this state, and a
study of their habits would repay even
the least enthusiastic. Mr.. Chapman
confined himself almost entirely to the
birds that are to be found in Minnesota.
and these he divided roughly into sixteen
classes. The student who intended to
study birds should arm himself with a
pair of opera glasses or field glasses
and note book, and then should seek
those places where the birds are to be
found, the parks and the suburbs of the
cities. cursory examination of a bird
was not sufficient. One should examine
the bird closely and carefully write down
a description. Then it was an easy mat
ter to classify the bird by comparing
the description with that to be found
in one of the many bird books.
Mr.. Chapman's lecture was illustrated
with fine set of colored slides. Many
of these slides were sketches by Ernest
Seton-Thompson.
Mr.. Chapman will give an evening lee
ture tomorrow night in the assembly hall
of the Central high school.

WILL NOT ISSUE CALL
PRESIDENT sCHIFFMANN DOES NOT
FAVOR MEETING OF COM
MON COUNCIL
WOULD INVOLVE THE CITY
Friends of County Commissioners
Candidates Want Meeting, but
There Is Little Chance of
Their Getting 1t.

Though pressure is being brought to
bear to have him do so, it is practically
conceded that President Schiffmann will
not call a special meeting of the COM
mon council to name successor to eX-
County Commissioner Whitehorne
While refusing to talk for publication,
DIR. Schiffmann is credited with saying
that meeting would be of no avail.
and besides would involve the city in
litigation. the outcome of which is in
doubt. The board would not accept any
one elected by the council, and the city
in consequence would be called upon to
fight the matter through the courts.
That he has receded from this position
is not known at this date, but there
is one thing positive, and that is that
he will not do anything until he has been
assured that the city will not lose. This
much he has informed the friends of can
didates who have called upon him.
Despite predictions to the contrary, Aid.
Murphy and his followers are still faith
full to the interests of John Arend,
and unless shown that his election is
impossible, will stick to him to the last.
They say he can be elected, and claim
two Republican votes to offset the de-
sertion of two Democrats who have seen
fit to pledge themselves to another party.
With eleven votes claimed for Arend,
there would seem to be little hope for
J. C. Weyl one of the first candidates
in the field, but despite this fact his sup
porters are claiming sufficient votes to
land him in the Office.
This unsettled state of affairs still con-
firms many in the belief that dark
horse will carry off the prize and of
those mentioned Daniel Kelly seems to
be the most in favor. The fact that
friends were pushing his candidacy was
first made known in the G | 0 e, and
the announcement of his name has met
with unusual favor. 1t is claimed that
an alderman has been secured who will
offer his name at the next meeting CO
the board.
The members of the assembly, while re-
fusing to place themselves on record, are
credited with saying that Mr.. Kelly
thoroughly meets with their views as far
as 'c1ean man. is concerned.

Their engineer, Patrick Powers, has

money for so-callede consumers, use the
best of coal and still the smoke rises.
In addition they say the smoke issuing
from their chimneys is not OF the kind
that could be termed a nuisance.

COUNCIL SUBMITS TAX LEVY FOR
INSPECTION.

AT the meeting of the assembly and
the board of aldermen yesterday morning
the tax levy submitted at the regular
meetings, held a week ago, by Comptrol-
Ter McCardy, was sent to the county
auditor for inspection.
The levy was really ahead of the regu-
lar time and, in the opinion of the legal
department, the council had no authori-
ty to pass on it. To be concise, it was
a courtesy extended the auditor by the
comptroller in furnishing him figures that
under the law he is expected to compile.
It was simply for the purpose of heading
off errors that have in the past been ex-
pensive and troublesome to the city.
The two bodies also gave approval to
the school teachers and the janitors'
pay roll.
