GOVERNORS SON
 MUCH IMPROVED

Little Rock, Sept. 15. Word was received from St. Vincent's infirmary last night that Jeff Da- wis, Jr., the 8-year-old son of Gov. and Mrs. Jeff Davis, was considerably improved, and the crisis in his condition appeared to have been safely passed.
 The child was taken seriously i'll last Friday, and on Sunday un- derwent an operation at the in- firmary by Dr. J. A. Dibrell for appendicitis. His condition on Monday was. considered critical, and it was feared that the opera tion had been delayed too long to save the child's life. Yester- day, however, he began to im- prove, and last night it was thought that the danger point had been passed. Gov. Davis was on hunting trip in western Texas, and was not aware of his sons serious illness until he re- turned home Sunday. Efforts to reach him by telegraph were not successful.

MUST FURNISH
 STONE AS NEEDED.
Pfeiffer Company Given Time to
 Show What It Could Do.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of state capitol con- missioners was held yesterday, but no action was taken in re- gard to the supplying of a stone to take the place of the Bates vile product, which the con- tractors allege is not furnished in sufficient quantities to meet their demands.
 The commissioners adjourned after transacting routine busi- ness, to meet October 1, at which time the Pfeiffer Stone Company, owners of the Bates vile quarry, will have had time to demonstrate whether they are able to supply the material, which the contractors allege they need and are not getting. During the interim Batesville stone will be used.
 There is no question in the minds of the commissioners as to the advisability of using the Batesville stone. All are agreed that it is the best material and want it used, and the whole sit uation hinges on the proposition as to whether the quarry can fur nish the contractors with stone in sufficient quantities.

They Are Still in Demand, Hut Net Sold ts the same Extent as
 Formerly,

Do wa still sell the old-fashioned fam- fly Bible, with pages in it for the record of births. deaths and marriasesY Oh, yes," said the bookseller, according to New York exchange, but not so many of them as we once did.
 There are more Bibles sold now. tAk- ing them all together, than ever before, and the Bible is issued now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles; sut the demand for it in this particular form is now, should say, not more than one-third what it onoc was.
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in dozen styles. ranging in price from five dollars to $20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments.
 Tn some of these Bibles there is { blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible Is presented, with the name of the giver; and in some of them is contained blank marriage cef. tificate; and in some there are bound in with the pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages, pages for the rec ord of temperance pledges.
 These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people. and 1t might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants: all likely to ba substantial people of comfortable means; conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.
 'So. while the old-time family record Bible. with pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages. has gone somewhat out of fashion. and is not sold to the extent to which 1t once was, yet 1t is still sold, and the demand for it Is still considerable"
