A Wonderful Woman

Miss Rose Ivy will be at the opera house in Forrest City, Saturday night, July 1st, to give one of her wonderful exhibitions. The following from the Arkansas Democrat gives very good idea of the powers possessed by this wonderful woman:
 Miss Ivy has voice of remarkable strength and wonderful beauty, and her singing last night was greatly en- joyed. Her rendition of Without Thee" the first number on the pro- gram, was especially pleasing. Fol lowing the musical part of the pro- gram came an exhibition of the effects of the wonderful power possessed by this woman. The first test was that of lifting. A committee of twenty prominent gentlemen of the city were called to the stage, and with the aid of these some strange and bewildering experiments were made. In one case gentleman of the committee lifted Miss Ivy from the floor with all ease. This was while there was no flesh contact. As soon as Miss Ivey placed the tips of her fingers against the gen tleman's neck he was unable to lift her. Two, four, six, eight and ten men tried to lift the woman, but with out avail. It was an impossibiity to move her from the floor.
 Miss Ivy took a stick seven feet long, and allowing it to lay loosely in her hands, held it without difficulty although some of the strongest men on the committee attempted to move it. Then ten men were placed on q chair and without apparent effort, she raised the whole from the floor.
 Perhaps the most interesting of the tests was that of the transmission of this force through space. A little girl in the audience was asked to stand in the aisle while gentleman attempted to lift her. So long as the child kept her eyes upon Miss Ivy she remained immovable.
 Those who do not witness her per formance will miss an entertainment of high order.

Official Route For Epworth
 Leaguers to Denver.

Official announcement Is made by the State Chairman of Transportation that for the Seventh International Ep worth League Conference to be held at Denver July 5th to 9lh, the Fort Worth X Denver City Railway ("The Denver ROad'') has been selected as the Official Route from Texas, and that in connection with that line ar rangements have been perfected for special service leaving Fort Worth at 9:55 m., July 4th, the schedule being such as Ia put Delegates and friends in Denver early the following after noon.
 In addition to the always up.to-date regular service available via that route, which includes Palace Sleepers and Cafe Cars, the special arrangements also provide for the operation of tirst-class Pullman Tourist Sleepers. through, in which entirely satisfactory sleeping accommodations will be avail able at but one-half the usual ex- pense. In other words, upon baSls of two persons to double berth, indi. vidual expenses for through sleeping car accommodations need not exceed $l .25 from Fort Worth to Denver.
 As the passage rate will be but one fare plus $2 % for the round trip and tickets will be good for stop-overs, also good for 60 days for return, and as unusually low rate side trips will be available from Denver to the numerous adjacent resorts and points of attrac- tion in and along the mountains, it is anticipated that Texas Leaguers will, as they most undoubtedly should be on hand in large numbers
 As strong effort is to be made toward securing the next lnterna- tional Conference for Texas, many pastors and other church workers win head delegations from their respective charges and communities in the in- terest of accomplishing the end re- ferred to; hence 1t is foregone con- clusIoH that Grand Old Texas will he strongly and enthusiastically ren. resented and that, among the thous- ands who will be present from every section of the country. Texas and it's claims made manifest and become justified through it's delegations.

pell-mell for the door At the same
instant there was another rush of
men from the vestry, a tiny room
in which the Batushka had robed him
self alone only five minutes ago The
newcomers were neither ghosts nor
demons, but substantial, ferce-looking
muzhiks.
Prince Melnikoff then recovered his
wits. 'To mel" he roared, springing in
front of Ermyntrude and drawing his
sword. The chapel was of no great
height, The gallery was not more than
ten feet from the floor and the giant who
first broke in on the proceedings sprang
like huge bear from the balustrade and
alighted on Prince Boris back. sending
him headlOng to the floor with crushing
force
The men who had not yet reached the
doorway, seeing this descent of a terrific
being from over their heads, became
frantic with superstitious terror. Some
OF those outside, especially the officers
were regaining their senses rapidly, and
now strOve to force a passage back into
the building 1t was not long ere they
succeeded, and they were ready to face
a legion of tiends, their first spasm of
fright having passed.
They only found Prince Melnikoff lying
dazed where he had fallen, while near
him was the insensible Prior, who had
been half paralyzed by a device not alto
gether unknown to many Of his confrcrcs
in the Russia Of to-day.
No one was seriously injured, appar-
emily not blow had been struck; but of
Lady Ermyntrude Grandson there was
neither sight nor sound. She had van
ished utterly, and daring young Cossack
officer, who snatched up a torch to ex-
anime the vestry and gallery, could find
no trace of a door

LINCOLN's TACT
How the PRECEDENT Won I Handmade
From IN Antagonist

In the spring Of 1861 George D.
Wise Of Virginia and two other young
southerners, one Of whom stood six
feet four, were attending school In
Washington. The morning the news Of
the firing on Fort Sumter reached
them they decided that 1t was their
duty to return at ono to Richmond.
their home, and enlist in the southern
cause. AS Mr.. Lincoln was to give q
public reception that night, young
Wise proposed that they attend, to see
what sort Of man the president really
was. {
NO" said the tall fellow. II for one
won't 90 near the rascal"
But" urged the third youth, who at
once fell in with the suggestion, there
10 going to be war, and Mr.. Lincoln
will undoubtedly rise to great promi-
nence. We really owe it to ourselves
to know something about the man."
More abuse followed from the tall
fellow.
Now look here" broke in young
Wise, after the argument had gone on
for a spell. Fired and l here are going
to that reception tonight, and you are
going with u.s."
The upshot Of the matter was that
the three young men went to the re-
ception and lined up with several hun
dred others to greet President Lincoln.
OF the three friends the tall fellow
stood first in line, with his hands held
resolutely behind his back.
"I1l go" he had finally said, but I'll
never shake hands with him."
Slowly the three southerners passed
up with the line until the tall fellow
stood opposite the president. His two
friends waited breathlessly for the
expected or the unexpected, they
scarcely knew which.
The president reached out his hand.
| The tall fellow, with his hands still be-
hind him. looked the president straight
in the eye and with a proud toss of
the head passed on without taking the
outstretched hand.
Across the sad face of the president
flashed a look of surprise and inquiry.
and then a merry twinkle leaped to his
eyes, as he had OWNED the cause Of the
slight.
"Just a moment. young man. he
said. as the tall fellow was passing on.

Sundays Game.

The game Sunday was made up Of
good plays, good hitting and fine
fielding. The playing by the Blues
was almost perfect and the Santa Fe
team didn't have a ghost Of a show
to cor until the last inning when
three hits and a bad fielding Judgment
on the part Of Right Fielder Flynn al.
lowed two scores. Santa Fe was again
compelled to secure a local pitcher
and Atkins was called upon. The
boys from the capital city simply
didn't have a look-in against Cables
curves and time and time again punch
ed the atmosphere against the speed
delivered by the tow.haired boy from
Kansas. When the game ended he
had a total Of seventeen strikeOuts to
his credit. In the eighth inning he
just tossed ten balls over the plate
and three men were down and out.
The visitors almost scored In the
first inning, when they had two men
on bases, but were prevented in a
sensational manner Dan Anderson

the youth, utterly astonished at the
question.

the president. And then and there,
before the assembled throng, he turned
back to back with the southerner to de-
termine which Of the two vas the tall

president.

president was forced to admit, but"
he added, putting out his hand again
and smiling kindly into the eyes of the
young fellow, II never let anybody tall
