where the cause was to be tried. The
judge fined and imprisoned the au-
thor of the libel as contempt of court:
he was pardoned and released by the
governor of Mississippi on the ground
that the offense was not embraced by
the statute of contempt the Judge,
deeming his constitutional province
invaded by the pardonfi issued bench

Hickey, who applied to Mr. Justice
Thatcher, one Of the judges of the
supreme court, in vacation, to be re-

Justice English's opinion, comedies
that, according to the doctrine of the
English, and some of the American
courts, Hickey was guilty of an un-
doubted contempt of an aggravated
character, but when "tested by the
crucible of the constitution" (of Mis-
sissippi) it was a mere libel upon
the functionary, subjecting the party
to indictment.
Now we call attention to the fol-
lowing remarks of Justice English on
the action of this justice of the Mis-
sissippi supreme court:
eve must be permitted to say, with
all due respect for the learning and
ability of Judge Thatcher, that SO
far as he is understood to hold that
the power of the courts to punish con-
tempts is derived from statute he is at
war with the whole current of both
English and American decisions and

Arrival Of Carnival Trains.

On time to the minute, according
to Cotton Belt schedule, the great
Gaskill-Mund Carnival company's spe-
cial train of twenty one cars reached
Pine Bluff last night at o'clock, af-
ter a pleasant and record-breaking
run from Shreveport, La, where the
shows held forth all of last week and
were patronized by no less than 200,-
900 visitors during the six days Of
the spring festival there.
The carnival train is something to
marvel at, with it's mass of carnival
paraphernalia, it's splendid shows, its
innumerable high-class features, and
it's small army of attaches.
Upon it's arrival last night the Cot
ton Belt officials courteously arrang-
ed to place the train in handy To-
cation where the work of unloading
was commenced at once. In addi-

CAN THE STREET RAILWAY CON-
PANY BE MADE TO PAVE.
BETWEEN TRACKS?
Mayor White Says They Can, While
Some Of the Lawyers Say
They Can Not.

A meeting occurred on Friday with
about twenty of the real estate own
ers on West Sixth avenue present
to consider the advisability of paving
west Sixth avenue. The fact that the
taxation will not be large enough to
pay the expense was not a ''deadner"
to the proposition, and after all OBJ
ections we're heard. all voted to put
the matter In the hands. Of the board
and allow them to continue the work
and pave the street.
When the board called on Mr. Aus
tin, the president of the street rail-
way company, to see II the company
would pave between their tracks, he
said that at some future time the
tracks would be graveled from rail
to iail
Gen. H. King White contends that
Section II of the charter granted
to ffhe street railway company will
be sufficient to compel the company
to pave, while others have expressed
doubt as to the section in this re-

Col. GaskilHs Private Car.

One of the two Pullmans is a COM
members of the aggregation only,
and the other, "The Tagus," is Col.
Frank W. GaskilI's own private pa
latial car, in which he and his inn
mediate family aline live and trav-
ell. HThe Tagus'' is marvel of the
carbuilder's art, and resembles more
than aught else the home of some
extravagant nobleman, en- tour in
America.
Every home comfort may be found
in "The Tagus," which has been re.
constructed within, along the same
lines as the cosiest of modern flats.
Private office, reception rooms, bou-
doirs, dining apartment, kitchen and
servants quarters are all Installed
within "The Tagus,' not to speak Of
the beautiful bath room, the electrical
lighting and bell system and the mu-
sic room with it's costly piano, all Of
which lend charm and an elegance
to the whole which can not be appre-
ciated unless one sees with ones own
eyes the luxurious beauty of it all.
The work of unloading the massive
cars carrying the carnival equipment
began at an early hour this morning
under the superintendent of Chief
"Joe' Conley with his small regiment
of men.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-05-11
Chief Conley's Great Work.

Much might be said of the magni-
f1cent manner in which Chief Conley
superintends these arduOus duties.
His force of men are trained with the
most strict of military discipline and
the precision with which they work
resembles more than can be described
the maneuvers of a skilled crew of
men aboard a United States warship.
Long before noon all the fourteen
shows which go to complete the grand
array of festival attractions had been
hauled to the carnival grounds and
were being placed in order for the
opening tonight, by which time every
rope, every stake, each tent, each
"front," and all the thousand and one
minor details will have been arranged
and looked after in the most minute
particular.
And now that we are upon the very
threshold of this lond-heralded week
of gaiety and hilarious fun, what may
the people Of Pine Bluff and the WIS.,
itors to the city expect to witness
at the carnival grounds when they
go?
Will it be worth the while?
Is It going to repay the trouble and
slight expense entailed in making the
trip?
Are the shows good?
