ABOUT THE GLOVES
TO SAVE EXPENSE AND HAVE
NEAT APPEARANCE.
First "Fit'' Has Much to Do with the
Life of These Important Dress
Aecessories-Proper Way
to Mend.

In the first place, the "it'' has a
good deal to do with the life of a
glove, and SO, for this reason alone, it
will be worth while paying extra for a
pair that will be fitted to the hands
rather than buying haphazard cheap.
er pair.
Fat fingers can not be forced into
gloves cut for slender ones without
bursting at the second wearing.
A Well-fitting glove will be perfectly
easy on the hand, yet show no wrinkle
anywhere. and to be too large is quite
as bad as being too small, for, while
the tighter glove will be no more apt
to crack or split, the looser one will
become shabby sooner.
Having exercised care in selecting
gloves, the same should be studied in
Keeping them in good condition. The
we'll known glove mending sets are an
aid Ito this and a means of keeping all
the necessary articles together, for it
often happens that one might mend
gloves In less time than is consumed
IN looking up the necessary articles.
A set of this kind includes threads
OF every wanted shade arranged in the
form OF broad braid, a small pair of
scissors. an emery and an enameled
darner. A small ball is attached to
one end Of the darner, at the other is
an egg-shaped knob. This is used
when repairing rips in the fingers, the
ball being inserted to help in repairing
hole. Cotton Is always used for
mending gloves of kid or of Isle
thread but ~a:**silk glove member set
comes for silk gloves.
Needles are not included, but they
may be bought separately. For re-
pairing Isle thread or silk gloves any
ordinary sewing needle may be used.
but the kid ones will be mended
much heater if special needle that
comes for the purpose is used.
From the eye half way downward
the needle differs in no way from
other sewing needles, but the point
half has three sides instead of being
round. This makes smaller hole
than the round needle, and as the
thread employed is SO very fine it
does not fill up the hole formed by the
round needle passing through. So it
is best to use the glove or fur needle.
They are about the same thing.
Rips in the seams of gloves are al
ways repaired OF the right side, with
an overhanded stitch that is perfectly
simple. Supposing one does not pos
sess a darner, then it is better to in
sert a finger than to hold the glove
to be mended in the hand. The seam
will be t1atter and more flexible, while
repaired without such aid the result
is apt to be a botch.

Is there any other logical conclusion
to be drawn from these facts than that
this progress will continue, and that,
as public sentiment becomes more en-.
lightened, the justice and the need OF
woman's vote more evident, and WON.
en- themselves more importunate, one
state after another will fall into line
and grant their full Acknowledgement?
Wendell Phillips used to say:
when not only congress and the state
legislatures, but all the crossroads
schoolhouses are. debating the ques.
ton of slavery, I know that the cause
will succeed" The question of wom'
an suffrage has now reached this
point. There is seldom a day in the
year that I do not receive requests,
ranging from the great universities OF
the country to the intermediate de.
partments of the public schools, and
from clubs and societies of every de.
scription, for literature and other in.
formation to be used In debates upon
this subject. The most casual reader
must observe that there is scarcely
an edition OF any of the great or
small daily papers, or OF the numer.
GUS monthly periodicals, which does
not contain, articles bearing directly OF
indirectly upon this matter. This
must be regarded as an indication that
it is live, practical issue and one OF
general interest. :.
These are the principal reasons, and
an infinite number of minor ones
might be given, why it's advocates find
ample encouragement in the outlook
for woman suffrage.

Oo feel dISheartened at the series
or defeats which this measure encoun.
tiers In the various state legislatures?
Not in the least. When the agitation
Tor equal rights first began it was al.
most impossible to have the question
considered at all by legislative bodies.
However, there always has existed
among civilized men a greater or less
sentiment Of justice and chivalry to.
ward women. When the latter would
present their bills for suffrage, and
also for the modification of some espe.
cially unjust law, the former would be
thrown aside without debate and the
latter eventually granted as a sort OF
concession. When I remember that
myself and the small handful of WON.
en- who were associated with me went
up to the New York legislature, petit
ton in hand, for ten years before We
could get law giving married women
control of the wages they earned:
when I recollect that a little band Of
women, headed by Lucy Stone and
Rev. Anna Shaw, besieged the Massa
chusetts legislature ten years befon
they were successful in getting TIL
legal right for wife to be buried in
her husbands cemetery lot; and when
1 recall many other instances quite as
outrageous am not surprised that the
yielding OF the great fundamental pow.
er of the suffrage has been so long
delayed.
At first, as has been said, legisla.
lures refused any consideration what
ever of this question. Then it pro.
crossed to the stage of being taken up
and made the subject of ribaldry and
abuse which seem incredible at the
present day. Now it has reached the
plane of dignifed argument and it is
seldom that any legislature rejects
such bill without a certain amount
of discussion. This question has oc.
cupied a full days session Of the
United States congress on several oc.
casions. 1t was debated a few years
ago for two days in respectful man.
ner in the Massachusetts, house OF
representatives; 1t has been the sub.
ject of serious discussion in half a
dozen legislatures within recent
period. At every session of the New
York legislature woman-suffrage bill
in some form receives careful consid.
GRAFTON and seldom fails to pass either
the senate or the assembly by large
majority. In all legislatures it is no
uncommon occurrence for the bill to
pass one house and frequently to be
defeated in the other by bare
margin. Sometimes only vote for
reconsideration saves it from com.
plete success; sometimes it does carry
and goes to the voters for ratification.
Eleven legislatures have thus submit.
ted the question and five have taken
this action twice, with an increased
affirmative vote, as has been shown.

E. (. Trice in Trouble.

Good for evil was returned yester- day by Police Judge E. R. Ratterree to Blount c. Trice. Trice was a can- didate for police; judge against Rat terree and during the campaign d'J considerable mud singing. Failing ia his desires to become police judga, he became temperance lecturer and lawyer. He frequently in his talks refetyed ro the Little Rock police de- paTtheft as a gang of thieves, never failing to give the police department of Little Rock the black eye when he had the opportunity. Saturday night the police were called to the Arkan- sas building to get a man who was creating a disturbance in the build ing. Upon their arrival they discov- cred the man to be Trice, who was so wild he could not be handled by one man and reinforcement had to be sent for. He was finally landed in the city jail and was with the bunch of prisoners brought into the police court Monday morning. Here he put up pitiful tale saying that he had gone to the room with a friend who had half pint of whisky which they drank, and he became wildly in- toxicated. He said further that he was on his way to Huttig to deliver lecture If 1 Were a Preacher at the time that he met the friend He was promptly fined 5 and not having the coin of the realm, nor the friend to produce the coin he was committed to jail. Later Judge Raterree sent for Trice and informed him that though he had never been spoken of kindly by the prisoner, he was willing to forgive and forget. Trice then thank ed the judge and was allowed to de part

BOARD DIRECTORS
 MET MONDAY Pine Bluff Need Not Be Represented at Rivers and Harbors Congress, Says Secretary Caldwell LEVEE RIGHT-OFW WAY All Secured-Free Ferry Subscrip- tiOns IncreaSed-Planing Mills and Wharf Matters Up For Discussion The Meeting. ,.,s ..z... .,.
LEVEE RIGHT-OF-WAY

An impornant meenting of the di- rectors of the Pine Bluff Board Of Trade was held Monday afternoon as-the. Board headquarters on Chest nut street President w. x. Tru- lock presided and the following di- rectors were present: P P Byrd. J. L. Caldwell, F. l.. Dilley, s. c. Alexander, Jr.. D. A. Kendall, V. 0. Alexander and E. C. Howell
 The matter of sending Secretary Caldwell to Washington to repre- sent Pine Bluff at the National Riv- CTS and Harbors Congress was dis cussed, but was thought not neces- sary by MT Caldwell, who explain ed that he had recently visited Washington and had not overlooked the opportunity to inform several of the higher officials of the Con- in the waterway movement. He said Pine Bluff had demonstrated the fact in the past that the ques- tion Of improvement of water ways was not lukewarm in this city, but it's citizens had at all times taken a deep interest in the further- ance Ot it. It has had representa- tatiyes at the meetings held in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis Kan sas City and Washing gton.
 The free ferry subscriptions were also discussed it being necessary to secure an additional $500 in sub scriptions for the fufillment of the Boards contract with McFadden and Miller for the operation of the contract. The committee will call on the merchants shortly and eX- plain the matter.
 It was stated at the Board meet ing that the right of way for the proposed government levee on the opposite side Of the river, which will D built here to prevent a cutoff at this point has been secured from all property owners excepting one woman who owns one-third interest itaJthe Vaugine place, and who lives in Iowa. The construction of the levee will commence immediate , ly after the holidays.
 The absence of sufficient planir g mills in Pine Bluff at this time, due to the burning of the Saunders mill on East Fifth avenue and the loss of the Bluff City Lumber Company's mill here several months ago was aiso a subject of no little interest The Board realized that there are not enough mills here just now to meet the demands and Secretary Caldwell was informed by J. w. Saunders of the burned plant, that it was his intention to rebuild as soon as possible.
 Several matters Of minor import. ance, including the proposed new wharf on East Barraque street, were disposed of, much business having accumulated during the ab- sence of Secretary Caldwell from the city.
