A New York Jury Decides That the

Slandered.
HErTY GREEN STOOD sTAHcnLY BY HIN
The Verdict Awarded Him $4,000
Damages Against the New York
Telegraph, which Published
Scathing Criticism of the Earl
and His Career.

New York, MAY 1.-THE earl of
damages by the jury in his suit
against the Telegraph. The news
paper had published scathing criti-
cism of the earl, who has been known
on the stage under the name of Eric
Hope" He was termed ''degener-
ate" back number" and for
tune hunter
The taking Of testimony in the earl
of Yarmouth's libel suit was conclud-
ed without the calling Of Miss Silvia
Green to the witness stand. Miss
Green is the daughter of Hetty Green.
One of the allegations was that the
earl was fortune hunter and had
come to the United States simply to
get a rich woman to marry him. 1t
was understood that Miss Green had
been subpoenaed with the intent to
prove that Yarmouth had wooed her.
Yarmouth says that Miss Green was
not the only rich woman summoned
by the defense. He said that he knew
Mrs. John Ninton Dahlgren, whose en-
gagement to Harry Lehr was recently
| reported, was a second, and there
were still others. He says he had
only the slightest and most formal
acquaintance with them.
As soon as he heard that Miss
Green had been subpoenaed he ap-
preached Mrs. Green and offered TO
drop his suit, as he said that in En-
gland no gentleman would go ! on
with suit that involved a young
lady in unpleasantness. Mrs. Green
replied, according to the earl's story:
why, young man, don't you think
of withdrawing that suit. If you
have good case, fight it. That's what
/ do. You go right ahead with your
suit. My daughter will be there, ana
her testimony will not do you any
harm. III be there myself, too. II
you are proved to be the sort of man
they say you are, we will not have
anything more to do with YOU"
In concluding his evidence Yar-
mouth again put the laugh" on the
opposing counsel. He was asked:
"How do you pass your time? Have
You anything to do except to sleep
and eat?"
20, yes. l sleep and eat and walk
and visit friends and hear music, and
! manage to live somehow"
but do you have any serious pur-
suit?"
II look for employment"
"YoI consider that a serious busi-
ncss?'
"Nery serious"
but you never get anything to do"
"That's still more serious"
Mr.. Wollman glared at the witness,
while the rest of the folks in the
court room laughed loud and long.

ANOTHER NATIONAL PARK.
Petition to Have Part of the wichita
Mountains Set Apart for
Preserve.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May ia
strong movement is On foot to have
the general land office set aside part
of the Wichita mountains for a ma
tional park, to be ten miles square and
contain $4,000 acres. The Wichita
mountains are too rugged to be of val-
ue for agricultural purposes, but nev-
ertheless possess scenic beauties such
as great canyons, sparkling streams,
towering peaks and delightful wood
ed parks, necessary for a great park.
The acting commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office, in letter to Clifton
George, secretary of the Oklahoma
City Commercial club, which is push
ing the project, said that the first
thing that should be done would be
to have citizens of Oklahoma petition
the commissioner at the earliest mo-
ment possible, so that the matter may
be brought before the next congress.

Cut Rates.

A rate war has been inaugurated by
the Fort Smith and Van Buren Light

pany. Last year each company
charged for ceiling fan service 81 a
month, and fans could be obtained only
by purchase. The owners paid for all
repair and received service only to
midnight The former company re-
Gently made a rate of SO per month
for service until midnight. This was
met by the competing company, which
offered to rent fans and furnish power
all night at $3.50 per month and fur
nish power to fan owners at 81 per
month. This was likewise met by
the company first to cut. and now offer
is made to furnish free ''buz" fans to
all business houses wired and using
five incandescent lights. There is no
prospect of a compromise.

GILT-EDGED BONDS FOR FUEL.
A Force of Men Feed n Furnace for
Week with Carnegie Com
pnny Securities.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May 15.-The Com
mercial Gazette to-day says:
after supplying fuel for a close
furnace for week securities repre-
senting over one hundred and fifty
million dollars of Pittsburgh wealth
lie smoul6ering in the great arInor
plate vault of the Union Trust CO., OF
Pittsburgh. They were the giltedged
securities of the Carnegie company,
the launching of which signalized the
practical close of the famous business
quarrel of Andrew Carnegie and Hen
ry C. Frick.
The bonds of the greatest industrial
corporation of the world, until the
United States Steel corporation was
formed, were of such bulk that they
would completely fill to the ceiling
room IL by IL. For a round week
there was kept busy at the Onion
Trust Co. a force of men to feed the
furnace fire which destroyed the Sc
curities. The great pile of gold bonds
has passed out of existence and with
the crematory pile of ashes there is
DOTI assurance Inat tne united states
Steel corporation is a thing real and
living.
OF the Carnegie bonds it is we'll
known that there are $1,000 900, but
less than s10,000,o00 were not turned
in to the trust company. Part of
these may be accounted for in the $5,-
100000 bond trust of Andrew Carnegie
for the Homestead, Duquesne and
Braddocx Carnegie Libraries, and for
death and accident benefit and pen
sion fund for the men of the Carnegie
company.
To the unsophisticated in bonds the
bulk of the destroyed issue may be in
conceivable. The bonds destroyed
had face value varying from $1,000
to $4,000. Their receipt and filing for
the Union Trust Co. vault fire was the
work of q month for the bank en-
ployes.

Below is the general summary of the
crop conditions for the week:
Decidedly low temperature prevailed
during the week. Scattered showers
occurred on the 10th and 18th. gen.
eral rain fell throughout the state, a
drouth of three weeks was broken and
much benefit to crops was derived
therefrom. Much of the early corn
and cotton has been replanted. and
in most sections they are coming up
to fair stands. Corn and cotton are
being worked out in many sections.
Cut worms are doing considerable dam
age in some localities. Wheat and
oats suffered materially owing to the
dry weather, but were greatly bene-
fitted by the recent rains. Insects
are doing some injury to wheat in
some sections. Irish potatoes are do
ing well in many localities. while in
others the stands are poor and the
crop will be almost a failure. Fruit
is generally doing we'll.

superintendent Doyn.,s Opinion.

In reply to a query from an Ark.
ansas school teacher, Superintendent
of Public Instruction Doyne has writ
ten the following: Section 7O73 as
amended by act of 1895 reads as fol.
lows: 1T shall be the duty of all the
teachers of the public schools to attend
one institute annually, which shall be
held by the county examiner, after
having given twenty days notice of the
time and place of the institute in the
same manner as is now required by
law for quarterly examinations. You
will note from this that the county
examiner is required to hold at least
one institute annually and that teach
ers are required to attend the same.
A law without penalty would be a
dead letter. | am, therefore, of the
opinion that the county examiner
would be authorized to revoke the Ii
cense of any teacher who failed to
attend an institute of which he had
due notice. unless the teacher is able
to present satisfactory reason for fail
ure to attend. However. no license
should be revoked till the teacher
against whom such action is contem-
plated has been given due notice and
chance given him to appear before
the examiner and show cause for fail
ure to meet the requirements of the
law. In support of this view | would
refer you to the opinion rendered by
the supreme court of our state in the
case of Huff VS.. Lee. found in the 61st
Arkansas, page 494, where it is held
that the law (section 7013, Sandels &
Hills DigesD, which provides that the
examiner may revoke a teachers H.
cense for immortality, incompetency, or
other adequate causes leaves it to
the examiner to decide as to what shall
constitute adequate causes, and. unless
1t can be shown to the satisfaction
OF the court that the examiner has
acted with malice toward the teacher.
his action shall be considered as taken
in good faith, and he shall not be liable
for damages in consequence thereof"
