 peal of Attorney General Kirby, torStGte Auditor Moore, from the decision of the Pulaski Circuit Court on the petition for a manda- mus against the Auditor to com pei him to issue a warrant for the payment of $14, salary of Commissioner w. B. Alexander, of Pine Bluff, will be perfected this week, it is stated, and the attorney general will ask that it be set down for hearing at the earliest possible time, as being of public interest, and that a de cision should be reached as soon as is consistent with a thorough examination of the facts and the law in the case. It will be re membered that the State Capi- tol Commission sasked Attorney General Kirby for an opinion re garding the powers of the com mission to complete the new statehouse. The attorney gen eral rendered an opinion from the constitution, to the effect that all appropriations are null and void after two years from the date of their passage, and that at that time all moneys re maining of appropriations, not paid out, upon regular warrants, should be covered into the treas. uIy. Acting under this opinion in which those sections of the constitution specifying this con tention were included, Dr. Moore

Town Stirred.

That the whole town is stirred by the revival that is in progress at the Christian church was seen last night. Few times in the his tory of Prescott has such an au- dience been seen in the opera house. Many were turned away because of lack of seats. Rev. Taylor held his audience with perfect attention from the mo- ment he arose until the close of his sermon. By his clear, logi- cal and forcible dealing he i'm pressed those who heard him with the plea upon which he was speaking. Mrs. Taylor charmed those who heard her with her solo. Both Rev. Taylor and wife have had wide experience as evangelists and a great meeting is expected. He will speak to- night on the subject: The Un- pardonable Sin" at the Christian church.

GETTING SQUARE DEAL FROM BEASTS.

The following experience related recently at the
City club, Cincinnati by f. Emory Lyon, superintendent
of the Central Howard association Of Chicago, whose OBJ
ject is to assist prisoners of penal institutions both while
in prison and upon their discharge
The association had secured employment for a man
just released from prison In few days he returned out
of employment Another job secured for him. This
repeated several times with the result Finally
he came completely discouraged defeat written on every
feature of his face, and said:
ooh, am so tired of men. | don't want to see an
other in all my life Can't you get me job taking
of animals, of horse two that can love them
and be endured?'
Nothing more than that need be said on this subject.
But for the sake of suffering humanity for the sake of
the under dog-thnk about it.
Society sends the guilty to prison in punishment for
crime. The sentence is supposed to act corrective
When prisoner his term the presumption is that
he will thereafter avoid temptation to repeat the otense

This is the theory Here is the practice
Society imposes certain punishment for certain crimes
and top of that heaps perpetual ostracsm. 1t takes
away every possibility Of earning honest living and

murdered? But let me be on the
stage, living the character l am

cry and the action will come of

test of the actor as of the writer
and the painter, and if actors and
playwrights have many shortcom-

often lack sincerity. My only task
will be to remember how | cried,

this is why there is variety in my
interpretations and l do not play
the same night after night. In the
first or performances there will

get used to it and settle down to it.
