Mrs. Madison at Her Home.

Margaret Bayard Smith in Scribner's.
The long lining table Cat Montpelier)
was spread. and besides tea and coffee, we
had a variety of warm cakes, bread, cold
meats and pastry. At table l was intro
duced to Mr.. William Madison, brother
to the president, and his wife. and three
or four other ladies and gentlemen, all
near relatives, all plain country people, but
frank, kind, warm-hearted Nirginians. AT
this house I realized being in Virginia. Mr..
Madison, plain, friendly, communicative
and unceremonious as any Virginia plant
er could be-Mrs Madison, uniting to all
the elegance and polish of fashion, the I'M
adulterated simplicity. frankness, warmth
and friendliness of her native character
and native state. Their mode of living,
too, if 1t had more elegance than is found
among the planters, was characterized by
that abundance. that hospitality and that
freedom we are taught to look for on a
Virginia plantation. We did not sit long
at this meal-the evening was warm and
we were glad to leave the table. The gem
tlemen went to the piazza, the ladies, who
all had children, to their chambers, and
l sat with Mrs. NJ. till bedtime, talking
of Washington. When the servant appear
ed with candles to show me my room, she
insisted on going upstairs with me, as
sisted me to undress, and chatted till /
got into bed. How unassuming, how kind
is this woman. How can any human being
be her enemy! Truly, in her there is to
be found no gall, but the pure milk of hu-
man kindness. If l may say so, the maid
was like the mistress! she was very at
tentive all the time 1 was there, seeming
as If she could not do enough, and was
very laxative. AS her mistress left the
room, "You have a good mistress, Nan
ny?' said I. Yes" answered the affec-
tionate creature, with warmth, 1.-The best,
I believe, in the world. 1 am sure 1 would
not change her for any mistress in the .
whole country" The next morning Nanny
called me to a late breakfast, brought me
ice and water (this is universal here, even
in taverns), and assisted me to dress. We
sat down between fifteen and twenty per-
sons to breakfast-and to a most excellent
Virginia breakfast-tea, coffee, hot wheat
bread, light cakes. a pone of corn loaf,
cold ham, nice hashes. chickens. etc.

TREAT FOR THE
 MEN OF PINE BLUFF

pr. Joe Munday, of Louisville, Ky, who is engaged in a special work among the fallen. will lecture to. men only in the court house to- day at 2:30 pm. It will be clean, refined, chaste talk and all who fail to hear him will miss a treat.
 Reformatory homes for fallen women stand in Nashville, Tenn, and Louisville, Ky, as monuments of the great work Dr. Munday is doing.
 Liberty (ky.) Herald says: "Dr. Munday has a national repu- tation as a lecturer and a refined, learned gentleman of exquisite taste and impressive personalities. As an orator and entertainer, he is without an equal on the American platform. He holds his audience spell-bound from start to finish. At one moment he convulses everyone with laughter and with almost the rapidity of an electric flash he switches off on the side track of pathos, and opens fountain of tears from which gushes a crystal stream until wiped away for an- other laugh"
 The Chattanooga Times says: He is a born orator His audience of 5000 men were swayed from tears to smiles and laughter at his will"

SATURDAY WAS
 LITTLE BOYS DAY Forepaugh- Sells Circus Per. formances Witnessed by Two Mammoth Audiences Here Yesterday. WAS 8 HOURS LATE No Parade Was Given on That Ac- count-Spectators Marvelled at the Daring Female Chauffeur Looping the Loop in Auto.
WAS 3 HOURS LATE

The great Adam Forepaugh s> and Sells Brothers circus arrived in Pine Bluff Saturday morning and from the time that the first car came in the oldster made feeble effort to hide his enthusiasm behind the cloak of youth There is something fascinating about the circus that charms every one, and if those Who deny they go for their own pleasure knew how oth- CTS read between the lines none would offer an excuse for taking in it's great sights.
 The Forepaugh-Sells show has been heralded by the press to be fully up to, and a little past it's miles of advertis ing. For several weeks it has been in Or about Arkansas. Yesterday it was in Pine Bluff to finish the banner year of circusdom
 The FOrepaugh and Sells shows carry two great feature acts this year One has been the limit heretofore. until the Forepaugh show conceived the plan of putting on two banner attractions. First of these is the great fire show. Before the largest piece of scenery ever constructed five hundred persons make city life. While the hus- tie and hustle is at it's height an ex- plosion fires the hotel.
 The explosion finds it's echo in the frantic screech of fire engine whistles as the full battalion of firemen swing into the main tent. In race against time they circle the great hippodrome track Scaling ladders and life nets are swung into action. Women and children are rescued from upper win dows, while many men jump into life Laats spread beneath them.
 At the completion of the fire is shown three herds of massive ele- plants. These give way to dozen acts of deXterity and agility, as for two hours or more the show proceeds.
 At it's conclusion Yvonne Laracq, the daring French autoist, is introduced The young woman enters her touring car and is hauled to the tent dome At the canvas border she releases the giant machine to speed earthward. At the ground the automobile is shot heavenward. It scars forty feet in the air, the front end dips, and the ma chine executes perfect forward son. ersault, alighting with the crash that shakes the canvas.
 The ForepaughSells zoo, too, is a feature. It is the most complete col lege of natural history in the world.
 At the afternoon show thousands witnessed the performance. A larger crowd was there at night.

Little Rock, Ark. Nov 16.-TireG and weary, after hanging out fol twelve hours for a verdict of convic- tion. six members of the jury in the Dulaney trial this morning gave in to the arguments of those holding out for a verdict of acquittal, and at 11:15 this morning a verdict of not guilty was rendered to Judge Lea in the Cir cult Court room.
 Dulaney, who was in the court room at the time, and had been all the time the room was open since the case was given into the hands of the jury. was immediately surrounded by friends, who showered him with their congrat- ulations and whic he received heartily, scarcely being able to control himself through his extreme joy.
 Ten minutes later the court room was desolate, all interested in the trial having departed to spread the news. The members of the jury, coop ed up for nine days, were so anxious to get away they did not even wait to receive the congratulations of the man whose reputation they had saved from disgrace Some went from the court room without even stopping to draw their warrants for service.
 Tie on First Ballot.
 On the first ballot taken when the jury went into deliberation on the ev- idence yesterday afternoon, resulted in a tie vote, and the other voting to find him not guilty. Thus the jury remained through the afternoon, al- though each side presented arguments for and against the acquittal of the defendant.
 Late in the afternoon the jurors ceased their deliberations On the case, letting the matter rest until this morn ing, when it was again taken up The first ballot showed a break in the phalanX of those voting for a convic- tion, one man joining the ranks of those who believed Dulaney innocent. A second ballot then changed the re- suit one further, eight voting for con- viction. With the vote standing thus. the other four members capitulated at the same time, allowing the verdict to be returned for acquittal.
 The verdict thus formed was drawn up for presentation to the court, a res olution prepared thanking Sheriff Kav- anaugh and his deputies for the pains they had taken in making the life Of the jury bearable. and a knock on the door summoned Louis Reichardt, deputy sheriff. who had been in at- tendance on the jury from the time

Well Known Pine Bluffian Adjudged Guilty of Bur glary and Grand Larceny by Jury
OWNERSHIP OF ROPE
Was Discussed Pro and Con by Wit. neSses-Others Accused With Be. ing Implicated in Midnight Theft Owens in Jail.

Bose" Owens, who was at one time a highly respected young man of this of charges of burglary and grand lar Iceny by a jury in the Jefferson cir cult court and his punishment fixed at four years in the State penitenti- ary at Little Rock. He was given the maximum punishment-three years--for burglary and one year for grand larceny The jury was compos- ed of representative business men Of this city. T. Havis Nixon, his coun sel. has been given until December , in which to file a motion for new trial. He says he will file his mo- tion the coming week.
 Owens was arrested by former Pa trolman Monroe Meeks at an early hour one morning last April, while he was in the act of burglariZing the wholesale liquor house Of L. and K Wertheimer, at Third avenue and State street. Three other well known young men of this city, Clarence Dell mon, Puck" Darby and Frank In gram, were arrested and jailed at the same time on the same charges. They all gave bond and have enjoyed lib- erty ever since. After the jury re- turned it's verdict yesterday afternoon. Owens was rearrested and placed in the county jail The othe three ac- cused will be given trials at this term of the circuit court.
 Ingram testified at the Owens trial and surprised the officers and others who have known him for some time by declaring that his name was not Ingram but that his real name was Frank English. \ sister of Owens tes- tified in his behalf and Chancellor John NJ. Elliott was also introduced as a witness for the State.
 The testimony was conflicting dur ing the trial as to the ownership of rope, which was used in lowering the alleged burglars into the wholesale house through skylight. Much tes timony was secured by both sides, the State proving to the satisfaction of the jury that the rope which was used was secured by Owens at his own home.
 Owens has been ill trouble here oD many occasions. Each time he has been tried, or arrested he has success fully avoided punishment. The police introduced several boxes of cigars and a lot of whiskey as mute evidence against him, it having been recovered from Owens and others on the night of the burglary. The jury was out just one hour and thirty minutes when it returned it's verdict of guilty"
 The jurors who heard the case were F. H. Williams, w. L. Ward, Sam Tucker, D. c. Anderson, s A. Rosen- berg, J. F.. Taylor, w. N. Greenwood. Frank Reeves, H. c. Dreyfus, w. s. McCord Julius Leitner and J. w. AL len
