UNIQUE SOCIAL FUNCTION.

Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Hamilton are reputed in Newport society to be en- tertainers of much taste and original in their methods, who never fail to introduce some new feature to embel- fish the delightful hospitality, which characterizes their receiving.
 Monday evening they were at home to small number of their friends, the function being given in honor of their guests, Mir. and Mrs. T. D. Wilcox, of Jackson, Tenn, who from first ac- quaintance have made many Newport friends.
 Miss Hester Phillips sang selections very sweetly and in her usual good voice, while Miss Claire Johnson, who is most excellent performer, was called upon to play a number of times. The surprise of the evening came when refreshments were in order. Four chafng dishes were brought forth, together with recipes for the cooking of an oyster stew, it being announced that the men were to serve as cooks and their lady loves strictly enjoined from proffering assistance or advice. Tn this, their first practice of the culinary art, MT. John Stayton won the prize, beautiful little leaflet with recipes for chafng dish dainties. Sailed peanuts and coffee were also served, completing a much relished repast.
 The whole affair was nicely arranged and we'll carried out, the fortunate guests present being Messrs. and Mes danes T. D. Wilcox, R. M Johnson, E. L. Maris, Misses Bessie Watson, Claire Johnson, Hester Phillips, Lou Minor, Wynne, Lucy Brandenburg Messrs. Alcorn Ferguson, John Stay ton and Percy H. Van Dyke.

RELATIVES SEEK REDRESS.

Friends and relatives of Lewis Wright, the negro minstre who was lynched in New Madrid on the night of February 15, are endeavoring to raise sum of money sufficient to prosecute case against New Madrid county for the lynching of the negro.
 An effort will be made to make the county of New Madrid, of which the town of New Madrid is the county seat, pay for the boys death. A large committee of citizens, composed of white and colored people who live in the neighborhood of the boy's home at Chicago, in which he was born and reared, has been organized and already, raised large sum of money with which to employ counsel in the matter. A sub committee has been formed, composed of Rev. Mi. Harris, of the colored Prevalent Baptist Church; Emil Gerhart, a white restaurant keeper at $50 West Lake street; R. o. Lee, a colored lawyer, and Russell White, who will conduct the case.
 In connection with this committee the ministers of all the colored con gregations in Chicago will organize and raise money for the cause. The general committee met last Wednes- day night at 651 West Lake street, when a memorial was drawn up and sent to Governor Yates, asking him to demand of the Governor of Missouri that he punish the lynchers.

 The seed will be sent by Congress- men Dinsmore and Brundidge to the counties in the districts where they are most needed and where the great est distress prevails.

 The Polly Washburn bridge over the Cache is in very bad condition and almost impossible, though contract has been awarded R. H. Reeves, of Wynne, for rebuilding.
 Village Creek presents a further barrier, says Dr. Bundren. Litchfield bridge is torn up undergoing repairs. Murphy bridge cannot be crossed owing to the fact that the levee has washed out and the bridge cannot be reached. The Island bridge has been all right until the last few days, but now the Mayberry slough is deep enough to swim horse. The rains of Monday night and Tues day promise to make matters worse, and Newport will probably be entirely isolated from her best trading section for the next week.

BAPTISTS MAY SPLIT.

Little Rock, Feb. 28. The rupture in the Baptist denomination in Arkan- sas appears to be broadening instead of healing, and there are many here who will support the call for another convention to meet at some central place, probably Little Rock, on March 26, to consider the propriety of organ izing an opposition body, on the prin-
 ciple that all co- operative work should be controlled by the churches and not by the delegated body, which was the cause of the split at Paragould. The Arkansas Baptist, published here by Dr. w. A. Clark, is the organ of the opposition, while the convention as it is now constituted, is represented by the Baptist Advance, published here by Rev. M. l.. Thomas, late pastor of the Second Baptist church in this city.

BUCHANAN TO RESIGN.

News came from Fayetteville Thurs day that Dr. John L. Buchanan, presi- dent of the University of Arkansas, will retire from the presidency of that institution in June. He made an an- nouncement to that effect at the uni versity chapel exercises Monday morning.
 The supposition here is that ill health caused Dr. Buchanan to am nounce his contemplated retirement. The news of his determination to re- tire will be received with regret all over the state. He is widely known as one of the most eminent educators in the South. He came to this state from Virginia, where he had been state superintendent of public instruc- tion and professor of Latin in the Uni versity of Virginia. Under his presi- dency the University of Arkansas has prospered in high degree.
 President Buchanan's successor will be elected by the board of trustees of the University. When the news of his prospective retirement became noised about Thursday there was an immedi- ate discussion touching his probable successor. The name of Dr. Junius Jordan, a member of the State Uni versity faculty at present, was upper most in the list of mentionables for the presidency, and it was generally declared that in the event of his desire to serve he would prove a formidable aspirant.
 Hon. J. J. Doyne, who will lay aside the duties of state superintendent o- lpublic instruction next fall, after { term of four years, was also mention. ed in connection with the university presidency Little Rock Gazette.

 The price named in the contract was $1235, and the bond furnished by the contractor is gilt edged. The lowest bid ever secured for this work was $500, which was rejected. The fig ures speak for themselves, showing that Judge Scarborough has by this rejection saved the county $565.

LIBERTY TO BE SOLD.

At meeting of the stockholders of the company operating the steamer Liberty at the Business Mems club short time ago, an effort was made to find some way in which an arrange ment might be made with the parties who filed the libel suits against the boat in the United States court in order that the Liberty might continue under the operation of the present company.
 The Chattanooga company agreed to furnish guarantee of $500 for each trip of the Liberty and to pay the diff ference in case the boat did not earn that amount. This would have covered the operating expensesof the steamer fully according to the Investigations of the Memphis company. Accord ingly they thought well of it as purely business enterprise, and one that would enable them to save their i'm terests and retain possession of the boat, as she would in time pay off the debts now on her. It was on this ac- count that they stood for the 10 per cent assessment on their stock
 PROPOSITION NOT ACCEPTED. A petition was drawn up recounting the difficulties that had beset the com pany since the loss of the Orlando early last fall, and summing up the advantages likely to result from the Tennessee river project. Copies of this were sent to each of the creditors and their assent was asked to the scheme, the creditors turning down the proposition.
 The law will accordingly be allowed to take it's course, and it is probable that the boat will be sold by order of the court. As she stands it is estima- ted that she is worth at the lowest $10,0O0 The claims against her aggre- gate about $8,000, so that no loss will fall on the creditors and their claims will be satisfied in full if the boat
 rings anything like it's value.
 The forced retirement of the Liber- | ty from the White river trade is much regretted in business and river circles here, as she furnished an excellent means to the Front street merchants for reaching rich territory, properly tributary to Memphis. It was with this idea that the company was formed for putting boat in the White river. Captain Ashford and the operating officers of the boat are popular river men, Commercial Appeal.

Baseball Men Are

Grounds.
PLANS FOR THE
COMING SEASON
Committees Named to Garry on
Negotiations Looking TO the
Securing OF Location.

Baseball men are still seeking suit
able grounds for the coming season s
games, and the choice now appears to
be between points at the Waikiki end
Of the city.
At the meeting of the League yester-
day afternoon it was decided that fur
Their effort should be made to secure an
enclosed park which shall be under the
berg, the new head of the organization,
took his seat and in a few words ex-
pressed the pleasure which it gave him
to take up the work in the interest of
pure, clean sport.
Carl Taylor, of the Male Ilimas, re-
ported for the committee on grounds
various plots, and finally a proposal
was asked of the trustees of the Bishop
Estate a proposition covering a tract
500x50O feet, on King street, Immediate
iy adjourning the grounds of Mckinley
Park. This proposition was to lease the
tract to trustees of the League for a
term of ten years at $500 a year free of
all charges and rates, subject to con-
tinuous use as ball park.
1t was stated by those who had gone
over the ground that it would take at
the very least one foot of earth to put
the grounds in shape for use. The coral
shows all over the field and in some
places the hunmocks could well be cut
down for use in filling. 1t was thought
that the wood would pay for the clear
ing out of the trees.
President Isenberg reported the sug-
gestion that the quarterstretch at the
Kapiolani Park race track might be
used for ball field and the surround
ings patrolled SO as to prevent intruders
coming in from other points than the
main entrance. AS the Rapid Transit
line soon will be in operation it would
be very easy for the crowds to be ham
died by the electric cars.
The Mckinley Park proposition came
up and was discussed at length. The
doubt was expressed as to the efficiency
of the proposal of the committee that
the field be enclosed by a picket fence,
in keeping out the crowds who might
come to see the games without paying
entrance money. There was a feeling
that the park being public institution
it might be impossible to enclose the
grounds and charge fees.
1t was voted that President Isenbere
investigate the matter of Kapiolan
Park being used and further considera-
ton of the Bishop Estate plot was plac-
ed in the hands of committee consist
| ing OF Messrs. Andrews, Taylor and
Boyd.
Notice was served that at the next
meeting, which will be held January
5th, an amendment to the bylaws, pro-
yiding for the election of three trustees
| will be proposed. The expressions were
all to the effect that it was advisable
to make an effort to secure an enclosed
park, which could be under control Of
| the League and would serve for League
miscellaneous games, football of boil
kinds and general entertainment of fielt
| sports as we'll.
