ROBERT A. SAVAGE DEAD.
Died in Little R0ck---Buried
 in Brinkley Sunday.

Robert A. Savage died in Little Rock Saturday morning about 4 o'clock from injuries sustained Mon- day in wreck on the train on which he was fireman, on the Rock Island road west of Little Rock, as mention ed in this paper last week.
 The body was brought to this city Saturday evening accompanied by several members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, deceased having been member in good stand ing, of that organization. The funeral party was met at the train by quite number of friends of the deceased and escorted to the residence of Capt and Mrs. w. Savage where the body was kept until the funeral.
 The interment occurred at Oak Lawn Cemetery Sunday afternoon be- tween and } o'clock.
 Shortly after ? o'clock. the funeral procession formed at the residence of the parents of the deceased and pro ceeded to the cemetery under escort of division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman and the Brink ley Hook & Ladder Co.,. the former heading the procession and the latter immediately following the hearse.
 The religious ceremony was con ducted by Rev. T. J. Brickel, long time friend of the family and the B. of L. F. officiated with their establish ed burial ritual.
 A large concourse of people attend ed to pay a last token of respect from the living to the dead.
 
 A scene such as that-where the aged. the middle-aged and the young gather around the open grave that is to hide fellow creature from mortal sight for all of time-is under all cir frought with sadness, but the sadness is always intensified when a life has been snuffed out by an acci- dent which snatches one from vigor- ous life of much longer expectancy.
 Bob, as his Brinkley friends all called him, was kind hearted and clever as friend and loyal. faithful son. His untinely death is indeed

Say. Bro. - do you know that you are tile kind of preacher like. ''
 Thus spoke CERTAIN saloon keeper to a CERTAIN preacher in a CERTAIN Arkansas town that has recently gone "for license" This CERTAIN preacher was feeling good over this CERTAIN saloon keepers compliment when the saloon keeper continued as follows:
 You never get after fellow with sharp stick and make us feel bad. I don't mind giving you money. You are my kind of a preacher but don't propose to help fellow who fights us all the time.'
 Now l would really like to know just the kind of feelings that preacher had when the saloon keeper finished his remarks, which were honestly in tended to make the preacher "feel good wouldn't youl
 It is said by reliable citizens about this CERTAIN preacher whom the sa- loon keeper says is 'his kind of a preacher that he was never heard or known to say or do thing that could offend the saloon men; he never preached much against the drink evil and tried to keep off of everybody s toes. He is one of those soft soap preachers and when the saloon keeper told him that he was "his KIND of a preacher the saloon keeper just about covered the case. That kind of a preacher or make believe christian, V who is afraid to speak out on matters effecting the moral welfare of com munity, are themselves just about as great menace to society as is the open saloon keeper "whose kind they are" Floating with the tide and shirking the responsibilities of true manhood may be "easy living" for 2 while but it t1doesn't count for anything in the end. The time comes when even those who profit by this "namby pamby" method have no respect fol those who profess one thing and c' another.

Bio DAMAGE Suit.

NEW YORK, April "a suit in
volving more than 100000 was
brought by Henry w. Mccormack.
of q Pine street, as attorney for Chas.
Brown. of this city, today, against the
Memphis, Ell Paso & Pacific Railway
company, Incorporated under the laws
of Texas, the amount asked for being
the principal and interest on a bond
issue of the road. 1t is alleged in the
complaint that in February, 1867, the
defendant corporation issued 2,400 first
mortgage bonds each of the par value
of $1,000, bearing per cent interest
and payable on January 1. 1900, either
in New York or Paris, at the option of
the holder. The bonds We're secured
by mortgage on the property of the
company issued to A. G. Curtin, Paul
S. Forbes and S. M. Swanson as trus-
tees. The plaintiff alleges that he came
into possession of the bonds In the
summer of 1867, and that no interest
has ever been paid on them, and
neither has the principal been paid.
He now brings suit for the principal
and interest, amounting to, according
20 his complaint, $5,367,7 40.
