party, costing $4,000, was given at the
Savoy Hotel tonight to twenty-foul

DIR. Henry S. HartzOg.

Arkansas papers of late date lift the lid
from the proceedings of the trustees OF
the State University and show how Dr.
Henry S. Hartzog was traded out OF the
Presidency of that institution. Governor
jeff Davis of that State appears to be a
regular Western rule the roost politician,
with an eye very single to the height and
strength of his political fences.
No charges had been made against Dr.
Hartzog and none could be, for during
the three years Of his administration he
had worked with might and main toward
the upbuilding of the University and had
"succeeded magnifcently" as the Fay
etteville papers say. 1t had been his con-
slant purpose to lift the University out OF
politics. The Governor and one trustee
were against Dr.. Hartzog. Another trus'
tree was won over by promise Of judic'
ial appointment as successor to Judge Till
man, the new President, another trustee
desired the Office for himself, third
wished the election to the treasurership
of a man who would deposit the Univer'
sity funds in bank in which he was in
terested and another wished the election
of his sister, contrary to law, as teacher
in the University. They won, but as the
commencement closed DR.. Hartzog re-
ceived in the words of the Arkansas paper
an ovation that was ga triumph such as
comes to few men in the course of life
time. The applause that greeted him
was spontaneous, enthusiastic, deafening
It was hurricanelike in its intensity the
tremendous cheering grew in volume and
intensity until the audience became al
most uncomfortable"
The affair has brought one embarrass'
ment to DR.. Hartzog-the difficulty of Sc
lecting out of the numerous propositions
of far greater profit and opportunity show
cred upon him. He is wanted from the
Mississippi to the Golden Gate.-Barn'

BOUGHT COTTON FROM JURY BOX.
Murder Trial Juror Winner on the Days Tran.
sactions.

A juror sitting in murder trial and op'
Grating in the cotton market at the same
time, getting reports of purchases and
sales, with bear panic in full blast, was
the role played in general sessions yester-
day by Barton s. Castles. At the end of
the day Castles found that he was good
winner.
Mr.. Castles is a juror in the trial of En-
ma Nash, a negress, who is accused of MUIR
dering her common law husband, Joshua
Whitehurst. After the jury had been
selected yesterday Mr.. Castles addressed
the court.
II have favor to ask of your honor" ,"
he said. "It is important to me that it
should be granted"
81 am ready to do anything I can for
you," said Judge Foster.
"Well, I am heavily interested in the
cotton Market" said Castles. II would
like to be allowed to receive quotations
during the day of how the mark ct is going.
Maybe I would like to transact some
business, too"
"Oh, that's it," said the judge. "But do
you think that your mind wouldn't be di-
verted from what is going,on here? You
know that this is very serious casa
murder trial."
"On the contrary" said Castles, ~ think
that if I knew what was going on my
mind would not be diverted. I am less
apt to be worried then"
Judge Foster granted Castles request.
During the day messengers rushed into
the court room with reports on the cotton
market, but in no way interrupting the
trial. Mr.. Castles frequently sent back
word to his brokers instructing them
what to do for him in the market.
"How did I make out?" he said at the
close of the days session. First rate.
I'm a pretty heavy winner. There wasn't
slip up at any time. New York Sun.
