Arkansas Leads in Fruit

st. Louis, May 9.-Arkansas
is making a great showing in her
different departments at the
worlds fair. Her fruit display
is simply a revelation to the bal
ance Of the states. 1t is the talk
of all those in charge Of the eX-
hibit from other states, and is
the center of attraction in the
Horticultural palace.
The beauty of the Arkansas
fruit is being remarked, ana Wis
itors, on entering the hall, inquire
for Arkansas exhibit. In fact,
there is nothing to compare with
it in the building. California has
an elaborate display OF jar fruits,
and Missouri will have an extern
sive display, also, of jar fruits,
and good display of fresh fruits,
and is spending large amount
of money on her fruit display, the
appropriation for the Missouri
fruit exhibit being $4,000.
Yet with all this, Arkansas won
the first blood, carrying off the
prize over all competitors for hay-
ing the greatest number of plates
of fresh fruit and the best display
of fra ash fruit on opening day, and
in thescoring of the apples the
judges pronounce them the best
that they have ever seen on
exhibition.

Divorces More Difficult.

The Methodist general confer
ence has under consideration the
advisabiIity Of making the rules
Of the church more stringent re-
gardiDg divorces, and the chances
are that the ministers OF that
church will be directed not to per-
form the marriage ceremony for
divorced persons except those
divorced for certain reasons. The
tendency Of all the churches is to
adopt rules that will discourage
divorces and even make them
very difficult.-Ex.

Unnecessary Anxiety.

Ever since work began on the Pythian Hall,
considerable fear has been expressed and felt
that there was danger in raising the roof. At
this work a number Of the workmen shared
In the fear. When the work of lowering the
walls by under mining them and building up
TO the foundation of the old walls with brick
and cement were begun. Many were horri-
fed, and felt sure that dire calamity was Ger
tain to come. Some OF the laborers quit work
and others were nearly panic stricken. But
through 1t all, Messers Hugh Howard, d. H.
Howard, and W. F. Dansby, though possibly
sharing lin the general apprehension, were
brave enough to hold fast to their jobs.
That the friends Of the owner of the building
should manifest anxiety for his personal vel.
fare as we'll as for the safety of his property, is
o matter for sincere and heartfelt thatks.
But as q matter o. fact, the prophets OF evil
have caused a number of persons to suffer
from unnecessary fear and anxiety. At no
time since the work was begun. has theirs been
the least danger. and no accident OF any kind
to person or property has occurred up TO this
time. The owner OF the property would as.
sure his friends that he has no idea OF takip
any sort of risk for either bis property or the
safety OF any of those who may be about the
premises.
Let those who are less interested in the
work consider these things:
l.. The owner Of the property claims to have
at least, as much common eense as the aver.
age citizen.
2. The owner has money invested.
8. He has studied the work perhaps more
than any one else.
4. It is possiblethat he knows more about
the work than any casual locker no.
5. At times In his life he would hardly up-
dertake q work for which be was not prepar.
ed, and for Its successful completion, ne was
quite confident.
The owner OF the building Is sorry for the
foolish and unnecessary talk that many have
L, excited the fears OF any. But he begs limo
cent and we'll meaning persons not to be car.
ried too far by the die speculations OF dis
interested persons who may be laboring IN
der q Misrepresentation.
The owner Of the building, however much
he would regret to suspend his work, will do
10 during the bazaar, II any timorous soul
would be more com
Mr.. M. E. Hollingsworth was among those
who had heard scsrey things OF the building,
and he went yesterday to examine 1t for his
own satisfaction. He reports that the Japan
ese guns before Port Arthur could not batterit
down In twenty four hours.
