 V that any city in the United .D Ts occupies as, unique position
 does Pine Bluff just now. The fear of the wind and flood, which anegress has predicted will destroy Pine Bluff next Friday, is still on, and the exodus of negroes is marvellous. The capacity of the passenger coaches is not sufi- cient for them, and this morning sev- eral hundred negroes were left on the platform of the Valley station, unable to take the train.
 It is estimated that not less than 6,000 have departed, and tomorrow will witness the largest exodus to be chronicled since the fright has come upon them. One of the railway ticket offices exhausted it's supply of tickets to nearby station, so great was the rush. It is probable that an additional supply of cars will be ordered for to- morrow.
 The railroads are not the only means used as vehicle of departure. For the past five days on every country road leading out of Pine Bluff could be seen numerous wagons laden with furniture and frightened people. The fear is not confined to the colored race, and many superstitious whites have departed also.
 Quite number of manufacturing plants have been compelled to close, and others will close tomorrow.

Since Senator Quay secured the adop- tion of his statehood bill as an amend ment to the agricultural appropriation bill, he has not objected to the consid- eratiom of general legislation during the morning hour of each day and, as a anti-trust legislation contemplated at this session. The Elkins bill, which prohibits the granting of rebates from the published tariff, on any transporta- ton charges, by any common carrier, has been enacted, and Senator Elkins says that he has secured promise from MT Littlefeld that he would not object to its adoption by the house, notwithstanding the fact that it's pro. visions are included in the Littlefield antitrust bill. The measure passed the senate without debate or objection and it is hoped it can be passed by the house with the same facility. The Knox bill, which capacities the trial of antitrust suits in the courts, has also been passed by the senate and will doubtless pass the house. The only re- maining feature of anti-rrust legislation to be completed is the publicity proyis, ion which it is hoped to incorporate in the bill establishing department of commerce and labor. The conference committee is now at work on that pro- vision and will doubtless reach an agreement ot an early date. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance com mittee, says that this is all the anti trust legislation that wilLbe attempted by the senate at this session. The house will doubtless pass the Little field bill, but it will be shelved in a senate committee.

AN ELECTRIC EYE-opENER.
Novel Alarm Apparatus That Has Been Invented by souS1-
 ern Man.

There is in Mobile gentleman who Tn the past has been in the habit of oversleeping in the. morning hours, and as his business requires that he come down street early. it is essential that he should awaken at a certain hour. Time after time he came late to his business, in spite of alarm clocks and other appliances to get his eyes opened at the proper time. One morn ing recently he entered the office on time to the minute. The others in the office expresseo great surprise at this unusual event, and asked the whyfore of it, reports the Mobile Register.
 T determined that this business of sleeping when should be awake had to stop, so I called in an electrician and he fixed me up a few things. I have it so arranged that at the hour set light flashes in my eyes. If this IS not successful, and I do not get up ana throw the switch, mosquito bar and the frame falls on me. If I still slumber and sleep a gong like the one used on the patrol wagon goes off. Should I fail to notice these things, there is over my bed bucket filled with water, having small nozzle att tached, and rachet releases a stop, so that a stream of water is squirted into my face. When I sleep through all these. it will be time to order my coffin"

LITTLE BIT OF HOLLAND.
The Busy Fishermen and Their "Vrows" of VoIendam Who Catch
 Builders Of Tourists.

The inhabitants daily dress in their Sunday best, to catch the ''guilders' of unsuspecting tourists; but along the dyke, in the single street of Volendam, one sees the fish, ermen and their good ''vrows," not in holiday attire, but dressed for their vocation, precisely as Volendans fishermen have been clothed for cen turies past, says Four-Track News The men wear tight-fitting jackets, buttoned to short, full brooches, wood- en shoes, and a shock of straight, thick hair, clipped by their good danes around the edge of a bowl, in the good oldfashioned way. The women are busy as ants in 8 heap of sand, wasting not moment of time, knitting their long woolen stockings as they chatter along the bustling street in their shoes of wood, and short striped skirts with padded hips, their heads surmounted by clean white caps of characteristic cut.
 The tiny houses, the narrow street, everything is so compact that one cas- lily imagines he is in a dolls village, while the prodigious men and stalwart women recall the childhood's wonder ment, when our gaze first rested upon the illustrations as we turned the pages of "Gulliver's Travels"

THE HEIGHEs oFs PORTABILITY.
As Nj Was Reached in q Dom tic Matter Between ..HaieA-FaIntin.
 Families.

With the exception of a substitution of names, the incident herewith re- lated is absolutely true, says the Phila- delphia Record. It illustrates the fond- ness for the initials and hyphenated names displayed by some people. who are socially ambitious, and also the ridicule that sometimes falls to the lot of the "high-falutin" ones. A Ger mantown woman, wishing to get reference from the former employer of nurse girl, wrote as follows in the third person.: Mrs. o. Whata-C Chump would esteem it great favor if Mrs. John J. Smith would furnish a refer ence as to character and ability of Mary A. Brady, who formerly lived with Mrs. John J. Smith. Mrs. o. Whata-Chunp has many social en- agreements which prevent her from giving her personal attention to her children, and it is very necessary that her maid should be thoroughly eff cient." When Mrs. John J. Smith re- ceived this communication, in spirit of fun and sarcasm she framed the fol- lowing reply: Mrs. J. Jones-Smith presents her compliments to Mrs. O. Whata-Chur1n and cheerfully recom- mends Miss M. Agnes Brady as an ef- fcient nurse maid. Miss M. Agnes Brady has in the past carefully catered to the wants of Master l.. Barrett Jones-Smith, and Master 10 Jones' Smith, Jr. Furthermore, Miss A. Ag- nes Brady is kind and gentle, and does not shy at trains or trolley cars."

EXPENSIVE ASPARAGUS.
A Luxury in Hothouse Vegetables That Is for the Very
 Rich Only.

'I suppose the costliest of all vege- tables sold here at this time of the year, or at any time, for that natter said dealer in fine fruits and vege- tables, reports the New York Sun, would be the hothouse asparagus that has just come in. It is produced by a grower in Illinois. This retails now at ten dollars dozen punches, or one dollar a bunch. Each bunch is like by a grower in Illinois. This retails of these some are sure to be pretty slender, so that you don't get very much asparagus for a dollar.
 "Take the stalks big and little, as they run, and they cost you about 15 cents apiece. The prices for this as- paragus hold up pretty well till say along in March, when they get down to about $7.50 dozen.
 There is more of such asparagus sold than formerly, but altogether there is not a very great quantity, though there are more people in New York now than ever before we'll able to buy whatever luxur:es they want, and they buy costly fruits and vegetables paare freely than they ever did,

@There Is just one other factor in the monetary situation, says Banker Clews, that might possibly affect the money market unfayorably, unless good Judg- ment prevails, and that is the move ment obliging the trust companies to carry reserve. This is step in the right direction, and one already in eff feet in concerns which place sound banking methods above the desire to present record-bre eaking statements. All the trust companies should be obliged to carry reserve in their vaults of not less than 5 per cent. A somewhat greater sum would do no harm; but if anything beyond 5 per cent is imposed 1t should beedone grad ually, as the sudden locking up of $40,- 100000 or more of reserve would ere ate a very undesirable and unnecessary stringency. The value of reserves is to really use them in emergencies, and as long as the trust companies remain deficient in this respect they will be an inevitable element of weakness and suspicion. The movement is an emi- nently proper one, and if conducted on reasonable lines will serve to strengthen confidence where it is most needed. It is one of the most reassuring move ments of the day."

An item in our news columns yester- day gave the loss to the trolley com pany as being about $1,000 a day. Now the question arises, where is this S2o'- GOO or $3O,OOO that the company has lost thus far7> If the trolley company is out that amount, the people who patronized the cars must have just so much more to leave with the grocers' and the clothiers and the butchers and bakers and all the other Waterbury store keepers. So it may be after all that what is the company's loss is the peoples gain. The money wasn't cer' tainly thrown into the Naugatuck or Mad rivers. It must be lying securely in the pockets of those who used to ride, or else they have placed it in cir culation. This trolley strike may not be such a bad thing if it is going to give people more money to spend and swell the receipts of the merchants.

An extra session of congress is now

An extra session of congress is now regarded as most improbable, although an extra session of the senate for the consideration of the treaties is more than likely. Senator Morgan has indi- cated his intention of talking the Pana- ma canal treaty to death, and it is be- lieved he will talk on any treaty brought up in executive session with the hope of postponing the ratification of the Panama convention until the ex- piration of the option on the Panama Canal Co.'S property. which occuns on March f., It is the senator's threat of obstruction which occasions the antici- patton of an extra session of the sen ate.
