BEAUTIFUL COMET
SEEN AT PINE BLUFF At 4 A. M.
SATURDAY.
Passed From North to South and
Seemed to Be Very Near
the Earth.

About o'clock Saturday morning
Pine Bmffians who were up at that
hour and craned their necks SO as to
cast their optics skyward, had the
pleasure Of witnessing one of the pret
test comets ever seen in this
section. It moved from south to north
and it's passage was so rapid that only
q few moments elapsed from the tine
it appeared above the northern horizon
till it disappeared behind the southern.
Those who saw it say it possessed
great brilliancy, and did not appear
to be more than a feW hundred feet

I 4out l. inches in diameter, ard the

AT Charlie Lumpkins' resort a great
change for the good of the city has oC-
CURED recently. The police depart
ment brought such pressure to bear
On Lumpkins that he forthwith removed
his dancing hall. It now stands on
Fourth avenue, ready for occupancy
as a dwe1ling-housc, and with its re-
moval quietude at that resort has been
obtained. 1t was probably more vile
in it's day than De Waits and trouble
was always astir. 1t was the favor
ite rendezvous Of the most notorious Of
the hundreds of negro women who live
in these slums. and was a constant
source Of trouble to the police.
There is not a house of all the
scores in this district, with which the
police cannot connect story Of crime
OF some nature
The two newspaper men were shown
over the entire slums. and the police
pointed out to them the houses where
some Of the most notorious women
lived
One house was designated as the
place that was raided the night before
and where three women were arrested
| for violating the immortality ordi-
nance.
| Another place was pointed out as
rooming-house, kept by an old negro
woman, where only crooks and the
most debased Of the negro race stayed,
J and in another hovel, they said, lived
a negro woman, crazed always with
whisky, with her paramour, disso-
lutte white man. Scores of such places
were pointed out and their histories
given.
The tour of the slums concluded
about 2 o'clock in the morning by
which time several arrests had been
made, all negro women for violating
city ordinances.
That this state of affairs should eX
list in Pine Bluff is deplorable. On al
sides of these slums are highly respec
table citizens, who are of necessity
compelled to grimace at these eye
sol as and say nothing, through fear oi
damage from the vicious characters in
Testing the district. But six of then

WANTED A kINiA
FROM HIS DUSNY WiFE'S WO0LT
SCALP.
It Got Jacob Stainbacs into Trouble
and He Had to Pay
a Fine.

An interesting character was at
rested by Officer Meeks Saturday
morning in the person of Jacob Stain
| bach, q negro, i'll the employ Of the
Sawyer & Austin Lumber company. A
charge Of assault, with intent to kill
had been preferred against him by
| his wife, who stated that he had threat
ened her with razor, causing her to
| Leave her happy home" This was
! all site told about her spouse. His
Il .tind treatment of her had made her
very mad. and she forthwith began TO
tell tales out of school," She began
by telling the officers that her husband
was an escaped convict; that he had
escaped from the county authorities
of Shelby county, Tenn, where he was
doing time for an assault to kill.
Her story did not show Stainback up
in very good light. and the Memphis
police department was communicated
with and notified Of his arrest, but as
20 definite response was received from
Memphis he was released by Chief
Craig, after being tried in police court
at 4 O'clock Saturday afternoon for
the Pine Bluff offense, which termi-
mated in Stainbach being fined S..
1t seemed as if all the trouble had
been caused over the desire of Stain
bach to have his wife give him a lock
of her hair This she did not want
to do. and she explained to the court
that her hair at the time was very
short. Judge Brown interposed be-
fore she elaborated pom the shortness
of her hair. The hair incident was
very amusing to the limited number OF
spectators, especially when it was OBJ
served that the woman's hair had all
the marked peculiarities of typical
African negress.
Stainbach paid his fine, and he was
told to go and separate from or live
with his wife. just as he pleased. but
to behave himself in the future.

Officers @. J. Collins and John
Wilson piloted two newspaper men
through the demi-monde district, lying
between Third and Fifth avenues. in
the eastern part of the city, last Fri
day night, to give them, if possible. an
idea Of the frightful state Of immor-
atty which exists in tht section of
the city. Recent incidents have caused
much to be said of this part Of the
city but the half has never been told.
New York City has its BoWery; Chi
cage it's Ievee district; st. Louis its
Chestnut street, and Memphis its
Beale street, but Pine Bluff has its
slums. In speaking of them the East
Third avenue dives are usually the
term used but it is not comprehensive
enough From Tennessee street to &
point six or eight blocks east, between
Third and Fifth avenues, is a district
settled, with few exceptions, by ne
groes, who have no knowledge of the
ethics Of work, and have no troubles
but those attending the payment of
monthly fines to the city's Golfers, and
the purchase of intoxicants with which
to soak their degenerate beings.
This district constitutes the slums
of Pine Bluff, and compares favorab-
ly in point Of the immortality and de
generacy of its inha abitants with any of
those mentioned in the larger cities.
In fact, it would seem Impossible to
conceive more degraded humanity
than that which exists in these slums
of Pine Bluff The journey through
them was a startling revelation.
Though the frequenters of most OF
the public bagnios and private dives
were negroes, there were many excep
tions. Numbers of white men, in ap
pearance the degraded humans their
conduct indicated, we're to be seen.
| Paul De Waits dive on Third ave
nue. is the most pretentious Of The
many in these slums. 1t consists OF c
saloon, restaurant and dancing hall
Ten Of fifteen negro prostitutes are
inmates Of this place. and the dancing
hall is veritably crowded with negroe.
and debased white men until the late
hours of the night. In this dive law
