The New Time Card.

The change in the time csrd on the Frisco, made necessary by all additional train out of St. Louis, known a> the fast mail, wentinto effect Wednesday, The greatest changes are in No. :, south bound, and No. ,. north bound. The former will in fu- ture be known aS No. II and arr rives al t.o7 ?. m. instead of 9:5u d. III. No. , has been changed 10 No. I and arrives at 500 d. III. instead of 4 Is q. m. No. l. the south bound night train arrives seven minutes later. Changes were also made in the local
 freights, but the cannon ball runs as heretofore. The new time card will be found on last page.
 fhe new order of things is en- tirely satisfactory to Springdale, and makes travel 10 neighboring towns more convenient. Ii per son here has little business to transact at Fayetteville he can get his dinner at home and return in time Tor supper. Or if he wants to make all especially quick trip to Fayetteville he can leave here at 7:ls q. III. and be back at s:06, as the trains pass at the below Fayetteville. If person desirse to go to Ro- gers he can do so without arising at an unseaSonab bic hour and can get his breakfast at home and re- turn in time forla dinner. The editor of The News has been
 here eyer since the Frisco has been run ming trains through Springdale and we do not remem- D. the time when the north bound morning train passed through at so late an hour. By this arrangement a person can leave Little Rock on the Iron Mountain between and < p. m. q. .tlleZnext morning reach Spr1ngdaie, which is the best connection ever made between the capital city and points in this section.
 The fast train leaves St. Louis at 2:45 a. ff., arriving at Monett at lo.o5. The average running of the train is 3s1z miles per hour, and only three stops are made between St. Louis and Mo- nett, at Newburg, Lebanon and Springfield. In some places the train runs at the rate of fifty miles an hour, and as the aver age running time of the cannon ball Is only little more than twenty-nine miles an hour it will be seen that 1t is going some. As an illustration of the time gained by the tasf mail, Spring daie people HOW receive the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Republic al l:07 p.

The teachers institute held at Sonora January 13 was indeed a good one. A great many things were said that were elevating to teachers and public alike. Nota- ble on the occasion was the fine music rendered by Tillman broth CTS band and Prof. Carter's choir. The band deserves especial men, ton because 1t las only been or ganized short time. We would not forget to mention the good dinner that was served to all, and all partook heartily.

YESTtRDAY,s VET RAIN.

Whom the Lord loveth he chasten- eth," Perhaps most of those who got all ready to blossom out in gorgeous Easter clothes at church yesterday didn't feel that the Lord was christening them by means of the pouring rain which kept them from making a holy or an unholy show of themselves. Perhaps the rain wasn't so intended, But perhaps there was here and there a being who had planned to make peo- pie stare at new and fine clothes who felt when the rain prevented such a performance that there had been too much preliminary pride and exultation and that the rain was a needed rebuke or reminder. And there might have been one or two who felt that if the Lord did send the rain yesterday he was amply justified by some of the prevailing fashions in hats and things which ought to be rained on whenever they dare to show themselves.
 But though the rain made Easter Sunday less splendid as a spectacle, it added much to it's quality as a helper and encourager of men. The farmer who feeds us all re1oiced in the rain and his thirsty ground rejoiced in it too, Its good effects will soon be ap- parent, and there will be good days for the showing of clothes So all will come out right in the end, and the memory of the disappointment felt yes terday will be obliterated by other dis appointments.

Easter sunday.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Tne morning broke with the weeping of angels. Why they wept no one knows Was it on account of fantastic tricks played before high heaven, Or was it simply Mother Nature wishing to brush up her green coat bit so as not to be outdone in gorgeous attire? The graceful spires were elouded in a beautiful mist as the mellihuous bells beckoned the faithful to church The glorious music waved up the spires and off into the mist only to descend in the symphonies of the rain beautlfying natures lilies and teaching other lilies that in all their glory they are not ar- rayed like one of these. The mist about the spires hung lower The indolent breeze of the newborn Spring made it wave to and fro. No one seemed to be able to pierce it, and see more clearly No one re the veil aside and looked into the great unseen world beyond

and industrial reform. The industries in which the conditions are worst are those of passementerie, lace, artificial flowers and toys. Among the passe- menterie workers the highest possible earnings seem to be 30 pfennig an hour QO0 pfennig is equal to 25 cents), and the average is 15 pfennig, The lace workers who earn 10 pfennig an hour consider themselves fairly well off, as many do not earn more than ? and 3 pfennig. In the town of Pirna women are making artificial flowers for Az pfennig an hour, and in the toy indus try an hours work is paid with less than 5 pfennig. In vast number of cases the workroom serves as kitchen and bedroom as well, and the low rate of pay obliges parents to insist on their children's assistance. Adults often work ninety hours week, while even chill dren are forced to labor for sixty or seventy hours.

If there are any mosquitoes in Louisi- ana that are planning to spread yellow fever this year they will have to hide themselves pretty shrewdly. The State authorities don't think yellow fever pays, and so they have sent out in structions to have every house in which there was a case of yellow fever last year thoroughly fumigated within the next ten days, the idea being to exter- minate all the dangerous mosquitoes which may have been left over from last summers epidemic. The various parish authorities and county boards have been instructed to do this by wire in order that the work may all be con- cluded within the prescribed time. and while the expense of such wholesale crusade will be heavy, the reassuring effects of Its work will more than pay for all the time and labor it will entail. The people are thoroughly aroused as to the necessity of individual house. holders cooperating in this movement and the result is expected to prove ben eicial not only to the health of Louisi- ana, but to it's business.
 Success to the grand mosquito hunt in Louisiana. In time, we suppose, there will be one on our own east shore.

THE MUCK RAKERS.

The Presidents "Muck-Rake" speech was all 1t was expected to be. He laid out the muck-rakers in great shape. These are some of his true words: There are, in the body polite, economic and social many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the stern. est war upon them, There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man, whether politician or business man; every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. hall as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, mag azine or newspaper, with merciless se- verity makes such attack provided al- ways that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful The liar Is no whit better than the thief, and if his men, dacity takes the form of islander he may be worse than most thieves, It puts a premium upon knavery untruth- fully to attack an honest man, or even with hysterical exaggeration to assail a bad man with untruth An epidemic of indiscriminate assault upon charac- ter does no good, but very great harm. The soul of every scoundrel is gladden. ed whenever an honest man Is assailed, or even when a scoundrel is untruth- fully assailed.
 There has been lately a good deal of exposure" which has lacked in truth fitness. So it will not be useful. And the reaction against exposure" which is now on, and which has been brought about by exaggeration and lying, may and probably will be a powerful ob- stacle to real reform. Human nature is certainly queer and slow to per- ceive.

Within a few years twenty-three American women have secured British titles by marriage; twenty-six, German titles; fourteen, French titles; seven- teen, Italian titles, and six Russian titles, a total of eighty-six instances of the infusion of American blood into the effete aristocracy of the Old World. It is further estimated that no less than one-hundred and fifty millions of good American money has been added to the riches of European nations through the marriage of one-hundred and sixty American heiresses, and that in Great Britain alone American wives of Brit ish husbands help to control two mil lion acres of land.

It does not advise less instruction in general branches, but an addition to the regular courses, the new course to be followed by boys and girls who have already gone to work, but who can find time at some hour of the day for study.
