by them confessed my guilt, but made
no explanation beyond the mere con-
fession. This afternoon I, having
cleanly shaved my face two days be-

clasped his hand but she almost choked

Gaylord bowed his head. Then
Elizabeth said:

Mrs. Gaylord's pillow was wet with
tears that night, but they we're the
tears of gratitude. and peace came to
her like ray of hope that never leaves
a sombre shadow, from the Giver of
every good and perfect gift.
The remainder of this story Is quick

in proportion to the heavy crop, there was maintained an even higher average quotation than in the short crop year preceding. Meats naturally reflected the ex- pensive position of fodder, and it was gratifying to notice that eX- ports were not materially reduced by the high level.
 Cotton passed season of wide variations, in the early months attaining the highest price of the decade, but falling back sharply as the spinning situation was rendered unfavorable by exorbi- tant raw material. Crop esti- mates were also far apart, causing irregularity and a tendency to await more definite. information. The outlook grew much more cheerful from the producer s point of view, when the closing month brought a higher price than 8 cents.
 Equally cratic was the course of coffee, on account of the Bra gil receipts and reports of exten- sive disasters. Option trading at the coffee exchanges rose far above the quiet conditions of re- cent years. Expanding crops of sugar had the effect to lowering prices, which competition caused still larger fall in the finished product, to the great benefit of consumers. Petroleum was less fluctuating, the extremes of the year being 6.9 and 7.65 cents for refined in barrel cargoes. Ex- tensive fields in the south were developed, which tended to hold prices down. Exports Of the staple products reach new high record, notwithstanding the low CT average prices of oil and coJ- ton and the scarcity of corn. The crop this year opened with a new record of Wheatand flour exports, amounting to 34, ,130, ,380 bushels in August, far surpassing any previous month, while for five months, ending November 30, the aggregate was 126, BPS, ,162 bush els.

New Rule for Pardons.

Gov. Davis has issued the fol- lowing proclamation to the people of Arkansas relative to the rules which will govern him in the fu- ture in the matter of consider ating petitions for executive cIem- ency on behalf of inmates of the state penitentiary:
 "To the People of the State of

GREAT IS ARKANSAS. X
Marvellous Growth of the State
 During the Past Decade.

FIdI 0IOuS oION th VI thS Nobd
 During the Past Decade.
 "A recent report of the census bureau gives the tabulation of the general statistics relating to Arkansas" says the St. Louis Republic. During the past few years the energy of the people has been awakened in various ways. There has been a large influx of population, until now the state boasts 1 1,311, ,534 inhabi- tants, a gain of over Is per cent during the last decade. The dis covery of large wealth under ground, the realization of the fruit possibilities and fields for manufactures have added to the spirit of progress.
 Fifty years ago Arkansas had 209, ,897 inhabitants. Only 842, or four-tenths of 1 per cent of these were engaged in manufac turing, as compared with 23.501, or 2 per cent of the total popula- ton, at the present day. The assessed value of the real estate has increased from S17,372, ,524 to SIPS, ,084, ,667. The gross value of manufactured products has jumped from S527, ,903 in 1890 to S44 1883, ,783 in 1901.
 Truly Arkansas has grown. The prosperity of the state $ on a substantial basis. This may ba8 judged by a brief review of the principal products. Of these the manufacture oflumber and timbee products is by far the most iZ portant. The 1,199 estabIh- ments reported for this i9Iastry in 1900, with capital Lf S21,- 727,71o, gave emp1yment to 15,895 wage earqesl, or 50 per cent of the wagf earnerss of the eaJ5se st1ss. 2he value of the pfoduGts was 823, ,959, 1883, an in- Grease of 167 per cent in decade. Ij Flour and grist milling indus- ltries rank second in importance. A capital of S1 ,183, 052 is invested in 40 establishments that turned out products valued at S3. 708, 709 in 1900. Third in rank is the manufacture of cotton seed oil and cake. The twenty plants produced S2,874,864 worth of stuff and employed 667 persons. The capital invested is S2, ASA, 794.
 Perhaps the greatest relative increase in establishments in ten years was in cotton ginning, the percentage being 739. In 1900 there was t,261 ,097 invested in l ginneries. This does not include
 those connected with saw, grist
 and cotton -seed mills.
 There is reason to believe that the next ten years will mark an 1 even more important period in the growth of Arkansas. Eorces have begun to move that can do 1 nothing but resultin the adsance-
 ment of the state to fogepfost position in the Southwest.x xFhe 1 varieties of climate, the diyersities
 of soil and, above all, thet new
 spirit in the people give a fpros- pect of phenomenal develop
 ment."

Ca aDtured a Souvenir.

Hon. George Sengel of Fort Smith is too thoughtful for any thing. He attended the breaking of ground for the great worlds fair at St. Louis and got the first dirt moved for the starting of this gigantic enterprise. -
 The Fort Smith Elevator thusl reports the senator's experience J
 "Gov. Francis broke th9 ground. Just as he lifted thA first shovelful of dirt SenatoN Sengel stepped forward and the following colloquy ensued:
 Governor wni you be so kind as to put that dirt in this box?'
 sWi0h pleasure, responded Governor Francis, and thel it dawned upon all present how B nifcant was the action, 2 ad everybody wished that he lad possessed the foresight of Sen9tor Sengel.
 Phil Scott, who was present, swore by the great horn spoon that a Fort Smith man would grab the earth if the opportunity was presented, and that rensrll was followed by laughter alfd applause.
 After the cereimones Senator Sengal went to Gov. Francis and asked him to certify that the dirt in the box was the first shoYelful taken up, and Gov. Francis took the box and inscribed upon it:
 For George Sengel, For5 Smith, Ark. This is the first shovelful of dirt of the ground breaking of the Louisiana pur- chase Exposition, Dec. 20, 1901. y

ION IN THE CHAMBER
Guess " ,-arntIon of Church and
sta, discussed by
Frt Ties.

PARIS, Oct. 2O.-In e Chamber OF
Deputies today Ernest Roche (nationalistl
introduced bill providing for the sepa-
ration of church and state. the abolition
Of the budget of public worship and the
suppression of the French embassy at the
vatican.
The bill was presented as a challenge
to the government TO carry out the radl-
cal program, NJ. Roche declaring that the
question had figured long enough in the
national platform and that II the struggle
against the congregation was sincere the
government ought to carry out the sepa-
ration OF church and state
The deputy demanded that the Chamber
declare urgency for the measure, but
Premier Combes refused to accept the mo-
tion, saying the bill was only intended TO
ombarrass the government.
Henri Brisson declared that he and his
radical friends would also oppose urgency
for the same reason.
The Chamber rejected the urgency mo-
tion by 2s5 to 10 votes, but ordered an
early discussion OF the counter PROPOSE
tion referring all bills dealing with the
separation Of church and state to a special
commission which NJ. Lasies (nationalist)
said meant funeral for the bills"

SACRIFICE SPEED TO POWER
Designs for New Cruisers Are Finally
Approved by Naval
Board.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2O.-The naval board
on construction today finally decided on
the features Of the armored cruisers auth
orized by last congress. Speed has been
sacrificed In measure to power.
BY vote Of to 1 Mr. Melville's propo-
sition to give the big ships $4,000 horse
power spd speed of twenty-thr knots
at minimum was rejected and the horse
power will stand at $4,000, which he esti-
mates will bring the speed down to about
twenty-one and a half knots. The new boats
therefore will be three and a half knots
slower than the four famous English ar.
mored cruisers of the Drake class. To off,
set this lack OF speed the Tennessee class
will have much more powerful battery,
namely four ten-lnch guns in two turrets
The ships have been given so much power
Of offence and defence that the engineer
in-chief will make a minority report, TAX
ing the ground that the intent OF congress
has been evaded and the board has de-
signed actual battleships and not speedy
armored cruisers.

TO SEND INDIAN SOLDIERS
British Government Takes Up the
Problem OF Dealing with
the Mad MuIIah.

LONDON. Oct. 20.-The British govern
ment is considering the expediency Of dis
patching Indian troops to Somaliland to
deal with the Mad Mullah.
The British vice consul at Berbera, Som
aliland, in cabling to the Foreign ONCE here
the substance Of the latest dispatch which
he received from Colonel Swayne, comman-
der Of the British force operating against
the Mad Mullah, referred to the Mullah be-
ing in communication with Kali Inger," in
the direction Of the webbe river.
He apparently meant Karl Inger," the
former offlcer Of the Austrian Hungarian
army, who has several times been mem
toned in connection with the Mullah's
movements in Somaliland. Inger is also
said to have caused the British authorities
trouble in the Soudan some years ago.
General w. H. Manning started from Lon
don for Somaliland some days ago In conse-
quence Of bad news from there and will
hasten the dispatch Of reinforcements from
