Occupation of Guantanamo.

Guantanamo bay was captured during the
war by Capt. McCalla as brave and able
sailor and soldier as ever wore sword
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet needed a base of
supplies and a harbor of refuge so McCalla
landed force from the gunboat Marble
head, drove the Spaniards away, and we
nave occupied the place ever since. 1t has
been the winter rendezvous of the North
Atlantic fleet Admiral Evans has been
down here several months with sixteen bat
tleShlps, ten or twelve cruisers and gun
boats and a torpedo fotlla practicing
maneuvers and gunnery and teaching the
officers and men the art of warfare. On
the south side of the bay is the finest, lary-
est and most complete target range in the
world, for small arms, for field artillery and
boat guns. There is a complete athletic
field for the exercise of the crews who come
ashore and set up camps and go through
all kinds of drills and gun practice for sew
eral months every winter.
FOR that purpose the reservation Is of
practical Importance, and there is a large
coal plant with several hundred thousand
tons OF fuel to supply the ships A dry dock
has been started and a quarter of million
dollars has been expended upon it, but
work has been stopped recently because
Congress refused to appropriate any more
money. and probably every dollar that has
been invested up to date will be wasted. If
there were senator from Guantanamo who
would hold up the naval appropriation bill
until he got his share of the pork this
place would be treated as literally as South
Carolina, but as no votes are involved it
gets nothing.
The monitor Amphtrite lies at anchor in
the bay and the old Monongahela is kept
there as a supply ship, while o. the banks
the marines have built barracks.
The site of the naval station is fifteen
miles from the ancient town of Guanta-
namo, which has five or six thousand in
habitants and is reached by two railways
one on either side of the harbor.
Some day, l suppose, Congress will ap-
preciate the Importance of this situation,
able to measure advantages and estimate
risks to see the vital interests of their coun-
try neglected.

EAGLE HALL VAUDEVILLE.

Because of the numerous fans in the hall and the excellent means of ventilation, Eagles hall on warm day is much cooler than the atmos- phere on the outside Consequently tomorrow afternoon and evening the public should find it very agree abls-spot to visit and witness an ex- cellent concert, which will consist of moving pictures and illustrated songs. Some moving pictures that are interesting and instructive will be shown from the latest films of the market. The price for the after noon will be only 10 cents and for the evening 10 and 20. The public will soon be convinced that 1t is the intention of the management to pro- vide good vaudeville acts and next weeks bill will be hummer, when one considers the price. The head line act will be furnished by the Vil- let sisters, and they are clever pair. Other numbers will be Harty, the funny juggler, who has few superiors as laugh producer; Miss Sadie Hart in a character change which is we'll done; James Waters, who ranks as a premier comedian; Maceo and Fox, colored duo; illustrated songs and moving pictures.

ROMANCE OF THE STAGE.
Lulu Chaser, Comic Opera Prima
 Donna, and Actor HerZ Married.

Very quietly Thursday, in the pres ence of the brides relatives and few friends Miss Lulu Chaser. well known comic opera prima donna, was married to k. C. Herz, a young Eng fish actor. Their engagement was an nouneed several months ago. The ccre- mony was performed by the Rev George C. Houghton in the chapel of the Little Church Around the Corner. Later in the afternoon Mir and Mrs Herz and their guest had wedding luncheon in the Hotel Knickerbocker As they entered the dining room the orchestra struck up Mendelssohn's wedding march and the other diners rose in compliment to the bride.
 Afr Herz said yesterday that he could not say where his prima donna bride and himself would spend their honeymoon, says the New York Her aid, but that they expect to be away from New York the greater part of the summer. Next season Mir Herz will reappear in his wife's company In a new musical play under the HldudgeiutHl Ol htcSts hidN W bA- langer.
 It was while Miss Glaser was re- hearsing the title role of Miss Dolly Dollars" that she and Mir Herz met. The latter had just been engaged for her company by Charles Dillingham;, who produced the opera in the Knick- erbocker theater two seasons ago. The news of their engagement was puh, lished lust winter and was pleasant surprise to theatrical circles, although their friends were not uIiprepared for the announcement.
 Miss Chaser came to New York about dozen yeIrs ago from Sewick- ley. Penn. She was in the company of Francis Wilson for several years, where her singing and dancing and breezy comedy ways attracted attcn- ton. One of her first successes as A star was under the management of Fred C. Whitney in a production of Dolly Warden which ran for two seasons.
 Nr Herz made his first appearance in this country ss a member of Mrs Patrick Campbell's company. After ward he appeared with Miss Maxine Elliott.

Jacques
1.-THE LOST PARADISE. 2

An absorbingly interesting drama, "The Lost Paradise" will be the at traction at the Jacques next week. It is a story of the struggle between
 capital and labor and the scenes are laid in a factory town near Boston. The second act is said to be very spectacular and shows the interior of the factory with all machinery in mo- tion. It is in this act that the manu- facturer refuses to listen to the just demands of his men and strike is declared. This play was written a number of years ago by Henry c. De Mile and was one of the first sue cesses of it's kind. The subject is treated very skillfully and will not fail to interest theatergoers. Richard Gordon and Miss Edna Bruns will have the leading roles. Popular prices

ing the success of musical production. It is poetic phantasy of the primeval forest and its earliest inhabitants that lends itself to the spectacular. As presented in "The Isle of Bong Bong' it is a dream of beautiful coloring and weird Indian atmosphere. The stage pictures in this number justify the claim made for Gus Sohlke as one of the greatest living masters of stage craft. During the characteristic music NJ. Sohlke has created an Indian cere- mony that is absolutely true to life and historical The paraphernalia worn by the various members of the com pany Is genuine and is all actual work of the Navajo Indians. It was pur- chased by Mir Whitney at their reser- vation in Pendleton, Oregon. Prices 9 cents to $1.50.

\ GOOD MOVE.

The organization of a clearing house for Pine Bluff, which was brought about at a meeting of the off cials of all the banking institutions of this city last night, is a step in the right direction. 4 clearing house is of great benefit to the depositors as we'll as the banks and is some thing that Pine Bluff should have had long ago. It is 8 we'll known fact that Pine Bluff is possessed of the oldest, largest and strongest banks to be found anywhere in the state, Or ill any of the other Southern states. They are continually working for Pine Bluffs progress and development and with a clearing house can accomplish more in this direction than if they were not organized for mutual pro lection as we'll as for the protection of their patrons.
 There are now in Pine Bluff banks in deposits more than a million and a half dollars. Never ill the history of the city have the banking institu tions here been in better condition than at the present time. The recent financial tlurries in the East will in no wise affect the banking houses in this section of the country. As is known throughout the country, the South will take care of itself. The money is in the South, and because of this fact the recent financial trou bles in New York and other cities (from which they are rapidly recover ing), was largely due. Aside from the inconvenience in that the purchase of cotton will discontinue throughout the South for several days or at least until New York recovers from it's re- cent endorsements, there will be TO further hitches in business cir cles ill Southern territory.
 During the memorable panic in 1893 even Little Rock banks were forced to hold individual depositors down to twenty dollar checks, while Pine Bluffs banks issued no orders what ever, but demonstrated their strength by permitting depositors to withdraw as they saw fit. Not one business house in this city was embarrassed because the local bankers, men of hon. esty and excellent executive ability, protected the depositors with good conservative banking methods. The banks of this city are as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. There Is no grounds for uneasiness here, and none is felt

A BIG PARADE
 FULL OF NOVELTY
New Circus Ideas Devised by Adam
 FOrepaugh and Sells Bros.

One million dollars expended to provide free amusement. This is the sum of money represented by the ,, great parade of the Adam Forepaugh
 and Sells Bros shows, which will
 exhibit in Pine Bluff November 16. In fact, there are two parades in
 one this season--that is to say, the pageant is twice as long as that to be seen with any other circus. It is also twice as good. The first thing to strike the spectator is the originality "a thousand features new to pagean.
 try, giving the spectacle the charm of great novelty. All the old sights that can be seen with other circuses are missing.
 Saharan caravans, splendid in cos tune and trapping; Derby day dis plays of England's national sport;
 hunting parties with bugles and hounds; Australian bushwhackers and boomerang throwers; golden floats, grouped with fairyland characters; richly carved dens, disclosing to the view specimens of the animal king dom; three herds of elephants and scores of camels and dromedaries; 300 horses with nodding plumes and silver-mounted harness; chariots of gold, the soldiery of nations and war riors and tribesmen from savage lands these are a few of the features of the great parade.
 Music is furnished by military
 bands, chimes, steam pianos, bar barian tom-toms and the weird sounding reeds of semi-savage musi- clans. The spice of comedy is added by company of clowns, who keep the Spectators. along the street eet. curbs lF continuous shouts of laughter. The costumes ald trappings for the 1,2oo people and 300 horses represent a for tune in themselves; banners and flags are made of the finest silks, and pure gold-leaf is used in the decora

which made the growth, including linters and Sea Island crop, 13,305, ,265
 bales. Secretary Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange places the
 actual growth at 13,630,000 bales, ac-
 codrng to which the amount of cot
 ton marketed during last season was less than the growth. As will be noted the difference between these
 two authorities is correct in the amount of the actual growth of cotton, as the statistics of each one have been carried out with great circum- spection, and with excellent facilities for securing correct information. IL may be further noted that Hester computed the growth from later data that that procured by the Census Bureau, whose figures were calcula- ted from data only up to May l, 1907 There should also be taken into con- in comparing the conner cial crop with the amount actually grown, that the commercial crop for 1906-07 drew from the growth of 1905 to the extent of 377,000 bales, and left 419,0O0 bales of the growth in 1906 to be marketed in the current season of 19O7-OS.
