4 Treat Coming.

Yesterday Bayard WELLER, business
manager Of the Isabel Irving Dramatic
company, came to this city. The gen
leman was here looking over the fed
JGfOre making a date for the produc-
ion CT the great play The Crisis
which is one Of the leading plays that
las attracted the attention Of the peo-
Jle wherever it has been presented. It
s without doubt the best play th5t
as been billed for this city in NUN
Der OF seasons.
The people who compose the work
ing force are among the best known
in the dramatic world and the fact
that the play is to be produced here
with all the scenery that can be used,
is sufficient to satisfy the theatre go,
ers that there is going TO be something
cut OF the usual.
Mr.. WELLER made a personal trip
here in order to see the city, measure
the stage at the opera house and n
fact. look over the conditions before
yenturing in Carson is in Tor a treat
and no mistake.

SITUATION OF CAMPS.

Tie 7irst camp and the neadqUaTteTs
crossing, two and one half miles west
Of Silva. This is called Camp No. I,
and is at the head Of the ditch. At
this point shovel is in operation, to-
sether with scraper crews and shovel
ers employed on the work.
Camp No. 2, farther down the canal,
is the headquarters for the comissary
department and the hospital tent This
is the base of supplies for the entire
work. At this point there are two
steam shovels, many teams and a NUM-
Der of rock men. Ralph Andrews is in
charge Of the work, and acts as an
able assistant to Mr.. Buchanan.
Camp Nc. 3 is characterized as the
tunnel district In this division are the
three long tunnels, one of which will
be three hundred, another nine huI-
dred and the third fourteen hundred
feet long when completed. Besides the
ones are scattered along the line in
Warren & Cos territory.
UNCOMPLETED WORK.
AS yet none of the canal has been
fully completed. The ditch is dug, but
left in a rough state to be completed
by finishing crew which is to follow.
oh of no
work, is completed so far as excaya-
ton is concerned. All that remains
now is for the cement work to De
placed
The underground passages will be lin
ed entirely with cement when finish
ed.
Tunnel No. /, nine hundred feet
long, is run for about 500 feet from
the west end The approach from the
east end is being eXcavated at present
The approaches at No. 8 are about
completed, work having been in pro
gress for the past three months. This
tunnel differs from the others in thu
character of ground, and instead OF
running into rOck,t it is feared tina,
mel the contractors fear trouble from
caves. These make it dangerous tC
work and requires much timbering.
In the approaches to the tunnel it !:
estimated that 6O,O0O000 cubic yard:
of earth have been removed.
MODERN APPLIANCES.
Among the modern appliances tina
have been recently installed are
number of steam drills for work in tn
granite formations They are used b
Stone Bros, as well as the Ware

appliance is the steam shovel equlE

Your Shadow.

"May your shadow never grow less
or "be less" That is a familiar salu-
tation. The origin Is dim, but may be
as follows: When persons have made
certain progress in the black arts they
are compelled to run through sub
terranean hall, with the evil one after
them. If they run so fast that his
Satanic majesty can catch only their
shadow or part of it they become first
rate magicians, but lose either all or
part of their shadow. The expression
means: May you escape wholly and
entirely from the clutches of the foul
fiend.
1t is we'll known that after man
reaches the age of about fifty-five his
stature grows shorter; therefore his
shadow must be less. To say, MAY
your SHADOW never grow less means,
May YOU never grow older. New

A stitch In the Side.

A 'stitch in the side" is the popular
and expressive term for a sharp stab
felt in the side, an acute spasm, pro-
ducing pain, like the thrust Of needle,
which is felt especially in the inter
costal muscles. Probably It's simplest
form is due to muscular cramp con-
nected with respiration and frequently
brought on by violent exercise after a
full meal, in which there is greater
accumulation of carbonic acid than can
be readily assimilated or carried off.
Such slight stitch is often removed by
STOPPING; hence the old time popular
remedy was to make the sign Of the
cross upon the foot.
Such stitch is also associated with
pleurisy, and then it is caused BY a
stretching Of the not uncommon ad-
Eesions between two pleuritic surfa .es
At other times the source is ne;i"a. IA.
In any case to persist in muscular e.
ertiOn when the stitch is severe is 10
take great risk.

THE FREE PASS FIENDS

Manager Philpot of the Elk S theater
says he will ncw have a rest on the
pass question until the summer opera
season opens, and he is enjoying the
vacation. According to Mr.. Philpot,
one of the chief pleasures of the thea
ter business is the rest which comes
after the close Of the season, when
a manager can be allowed to go for
weeks a. time without once being
asked for pass to this or that show
The question of how many passes to
give out fer one show IS one that al
ways puzzles the manager, especially
in place like Pine Bluff where the
seating capacity of the house is
limited. There are many people who
are friendly vii the manager in ev-
cry day life, and some of these take
occasion at times-only at times
to ask for passes to some SoCd show.
Managers are not troubled to any
great extent by requests for season
rasses, for i, takes an especially large
amount of nerve to ask for these,
but the requests he gets fer passes to
one show would sometimes I'LL tEe

dreams are rudely broken by the {

himself and friend. This is. psrhaH
the only time this year he has askt
for a pass and he thinks he ought
have it. Perhaps there are fifty O,
ers in the same boat. These esI
cial friends do not seem to reali
that when they ask the manager f
two passes to a fine show they a
hlmto give up three dollars which
would realize from the sale Of the t,
Itickets.
Another thing which Mr. Phil,

says bothers the managers in this CITY
is the number of newspapers, and
these, of course, must have their seas.
on passes, or else how can they COM
pliment show and run the advance
notices for nothing? There are four
newspapers in Pine Bluff and each
Of them wants four passes Four
times four are sixteen, and sixteen
seats at $3.50 per is $24. How long
does the manager look at this $24
when good show comes to town?
Then, too, the newspapers come in
for their share Of worries in the free
