RECTOR'S SPLEEN.

Col Rector, late candidate for governor against Gov. Davis, has been guilty of a social affront to the governor that is cal Q cllated to lower the standard of his man. hood in the judgment of all fair minded people.
 Gov Davis was the guest of Hot Springs Tuesday, having been invited there by the citizens of the town, it being public oc- casion. Mutual friends suggested to the Col Rector whose home is in Hot Springs, and extend friendly greeting. To this the governor readily assented but when mutual friends indicated to Col. Rector that the governor was in the city and would call on him, he interposed his objec- tions and gave them to understand that the governor would not be welcome at his office.
 This was a manifestation of littleness, petty spite and jealousy of which we hardly thought Col. Rector capable. Such an affront anywhere except in his home city would not have been so bad. For the governor of the state to be snubbed by his late opponent in such manner, while on . social visit at the request of Col. Rector's neighbors, was about the worst break we ever knew public man to be guilty of.
 But in this Col. Rector has done the governor no harm. The only injury done is to himself. Even those who supported him cannot uphold nor condone this un- warranted breach of social ciyility, and most people who supported Col. Rector, viewing him from the standpoint of this incivility will no doubt be glad he was de- feated. A man capable of such littleaess is sunworthy of being governor of Arkansas.
 It was an affront, not only to Gov. Davis, but to the people of the state gen erally, who will hardly forgive Col. Rector for 1t.

Swiss Like American Shoes.

According to official statistics, there

Masculine Authority.

There are places and times when the
authority of man Is more potent than
that OF woman. Street car conductors
are more chary Of offending men than
women. They will carry a woman
past her street and shrug their shoul-
ders unconcernedly over her complaint.
but they will humble an apology to
man for the same offense. They take
pennies without murmuring from the
masculine hand and pass them almost
invariably into the hand Of woman
in making change. The "Step-up-
lively" and "Plenty-of rocm-up- front"
injunrtions are for the most part ad-
dressed to women. A woman dropped
a 25-cent piece on the floor of the car
the other day. She and the woman
who was with her both tried to pick 1t
up. but were unsuccessful. 1t was
necessary to lift section of the graf
ing from the floor in order to get it.

COAL BARGE SUNK.
Crashed Into Steamer or Highland
Light During Thick Fog.

Boston, April 4.-Captaln Olsen Of
the steamer Spartan, from Philadelphia,
reports that his vessel was in collision
with C. Il. Il. of n. J. barge Off High
land light yesterday morning. The
barge was lost There was thick fog
Mt the time and the steamer had been
slowed up. A tugs whistle was heard,
and five minutes later barge ran into
the steamer. The barge rebounded and
struck the steamer again amidshipS
After the crash the steamer aud the
barge separated.
The extent Of the damage to the Spar
tan was confined to one broken plate,
and another bent, both above the water
line. In few minutes tug Plymouth
showed up through the fog and one of
her boats was alongside. This boat
took off the crew of the barge. The
Spartan stood by for two hours, when
the damaged barge sunk. No lives were
lost.
When tug Plymouth reached this
port last night with her tow of two
barges, Captain Durkee reported that
about $40 a. M. he heard the Spa rtan;s
whistle OH the port quarter, and he re-
sponded with a loud blast OH the
whistle. Then he became aware that
the steamer had been in collision with
one of his barges. The fog was thick,
but the tug was stopped until the
barges came into view. He found that
barge No. had been crushed in. Cap
tain Gillette and his crew of four were
taken from the barge as it was in n
sinking condition. The barge was built
at Noank, Conn.,, in 1890. ut cost of
$4,000. She was loaded with 1900
tons of coal.

which seem especially adapted for life
in this forbidden land. They are the ad-
dax antelope and Loder's gazelle. The
addax is an ugly awkward looking ami
NAL. with spiral horns and very wide
spread hoofs. which enable it to go at
great pace over the sand. Pliny
knew Of its existence, and was natural
ly interested in it, for as South Africa
was as yet unvisited, this was one OF
the first species of antelope known to
the ancients. 1t was not rediscovered
until Ruppell found 1t near Dongola.
AS it is rather large antelope, 1t re-
quires a considerable amount of food,
and the difficulty which suggested it.
self was to discover where it found
its food.
1t is now fairly certain that the ad-
dax follows the rains which fall at
certain seasons, and probably travels
vast distances in the wake Of the sea-
sonal storms. The immense area of
desert in northern Africa makes this
possible, though without special
knowledge Of the meteorology of that
part Of the continent 1t would be un-
safe to assert that there is always rain
going on in some part of the desert
fringe. How the addax supports it.
self in these absolutely dry intervales
is not known. Gazelles are mainly de-
sert animals. but Loder's gazelle seems
to have rather more than the family
leaning toward the lends Of thirst and
sand. Another gazelle differing very
little from it is quite common on the
edge of the desert; but this creature
never came near the fringe of civiliza-
tion, and it was not until special ex-
pedition was organized that any trust
worthy tidings were obtained Of it.
When at last it was found it was in
a place not absolutely waterless, for
there was we'll, the sides of which
were made of woven halfa grass, some
where in the neighborhood; but this
water was quite inaccessible to the
gazelles, and the desert all around
was long blllows of rolling, wind-drift-
ed sand.

Willism only sobbed. He dare not
designate his troubles by the rude term
under which it was known to the
school boys. His better instincts told
him that such language was not suited
to the ears Of lady. But after hear
ing much tender sympathy and hesi-
tating profoundly, he managed to hit
upon what seemed to him to be q polite
phrase Of diagnosis. And so he raised
