~>s. TO MAKE CHANGES AT CONVICT FARM
Governor Pindall Authorized to Make Inspection and Order Such Work Done as He Deems Nee.
 eSSary.

Radical changes are expected to be made shortly in the direction of the work of the state convicts at the Lin coin county farm and at the various convict camps in the state.
 A majority of the Board of Peniten- tiary Commissioners yesterday au- thorized Acting Governor K o. Pin dall to visit the state farm whenever convenient, and as it may seem neces- sary to him, and deal with matters there as it appears in his judgment to be for the successful operation of the penitentiary system. The authority given Governor Pindall to perform this work was signed by Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig, State Auditor A. D. Moore and Commissioner Guy B. Tucker, and is as follows:
 "Whereas, the next regular meeting of the Penitentiaryt Board is not due until some time next month, and con- ditions now confronting the board re- quiring immediate attention, and some one interested with authority from the board, we, the undersigned members of the Penitentiary Board, do hereby authorize the acting governor, Hon. X. o. Pindall, to make such trips to the state farm in Lincoln county as may to him seem necessary in dealing with the levee situation, the cotton picking. situation there, the labor situ ation there, concerning a return of the cOnvicts or removal of them to the other camps of state, and all other matters incident to the proper man. agement of the farm, and we each promise at the next meeting of the board to ratify the action of the act ing governor in this behalf.'
 First Visit Tomorrow.
 Acting Governor Pindall will make his first visit to the farm tomorrow, and will spend several days there looking over the situation and give orders for such changes as in his opinion will rebound to the benefits of the plantation. Governor Pindall stated yesterday that he wanted the work on the levee completed as soon as possible, the cotton picked out on the farm and ginned and baled and the surplus convicts assigned to the various places where they can be most profitable to the state. Whatever or ders he may give in regard to the farm work, and whatever changes he makes in the disposition of the con- victs, will be endorsed by majority of the board. When Governor Pindall returns from his trip to the state con- vict farm, it is understood, special meeting of the Penitentiary Board will be called, at which the governor will report whatever changes, if any, should be made in the work at the farm. There will also be received at the special meeting of the board de- tailed reports of all penitentiary off cials for the month of September Little Rock Gazette.

 It is also announced that a special meeting will be held October 30, the principal purpose being to authorize the increase of capital stock by 354,- 695 shares, or by such amount as may be decided on by the stockholders at the meeting. The stockholders will also consider the acceptance of the amendments to the company's charter passed by the Rhode Island general assembly last January, and also by the Connecticut legislature. The an- nouncement of the new stock issue has caused slump in the market price of the roads shares, as it is feared that with the new issue the road will not be able to maintain it's past dividend rate of per cent.

scULProR's AFRICAN FAD.

Herbert Ward. the English Sculptor,
who has his studio in Paris. devotes
himself chiefly to modelling negro
men and women. He has made stat
ues from African natives of every
race from Dahomey to the Sudan,
and from the Congo to Zululand.
Besides. he has formed a collection
OF art works produced by negroes.
says the New York Sun. Some he has
acquired himself in his travels in
Africa; many have been given to
him by explorers, notably by Stanley,
whom he once accompanied part of the
way on one of his African expeditions.
A feature Of the collection is the
iron work, chiefly weapons. There
are lance heads. arrows, battleaxes
and stars with sharp points in all
directions to be hurled at enemies.
The forms of all the weapons are ar
tistic. They are beautifully modelled
on sharp pointed leaves and grasses,
the beaks of birds and claws of ami
mails.
So closely are the outlines followed,
that the sculptor says a person ac-
qainted with the flora and fauna of
the country can name the pattern on
which each blade was outlined. The
daggers are usually shaped like the
lotus leaf.
Another curious object is the Afri-
can drum found with many tribes. 1t

is that 1t gives out different tones

freedom OF women to this extent.

freedom OF women to this extent. :
Now the court OF appeals, In affirm
ing the decision below" goes much
further and takes the ground that the
legislature has no business to seek
ito prevent an adult female citizen
from working at any time of the day
that suits her." The court reviews
the progress OF woman as reflected in
legislation and finds her a full-fedged
citizen, entitled to all the rights of
citizenship under our laws" and "en-
titled to be placed on an equality of
rights with man" Why, then, 1t asks
should she be deprived OF the right to
work Mt night? Why should she be
treated as u ward OF the state with
regard to labor when she possesses
"all the responsibilities" and all the
constitutional rights" OF the adult
man?
This reasoning Is indOrsed as trium-
phant and conclusive by several New
York papers. Yes. they say, woman
has achieved constitutional and legal
equality with man; and must sur
render her privileges, her special
claim to state benovolence and protec-
tion.
1t is passing strange that the court
and these eager logicians should have
overlooked the fact that woman in
advanced" New York does not pos
sess the statutory right OF suffrage.
They glibly use the word "all' in de-
scribing the rights and responsible
ties of the modern woman, entirely
forgetting suffrage. Is 1t trivial mat
ter to them?
II the court had remembered the
suffrage question, perhaps 1t would
have felt some embarrassment In in
sisting on the absurdity OF tutelage
and the outrageousness of depriving
by statute the female citizens of the
right to labor at night The stern
logician should make sure OF his prem.
