Evil of Unlawful Relations.
The evil of unlawful relations be-
tween white men and negro women is
admitted by, all. It's existence is ac-
knowledged, and the crimes and dan
gers growing out of it are well I'M
derstood. Such partnerships are un-
lawful, and whenever brought before
conscientious judges are punished; but
it is only case here and there that
is so brought to judgment. The pow
er--the only one-that can successful
| ly protect our social organizations
against this danger is public opinion,
and the individual effort of every citi-
zen who is willing to support the law.
1t is only by such individual and con-
certed effort that the guilty can be
reached and the practice broken up.
Police, juries and judges can be trust
ed to do their part, but the power
which must be chiefly relied on to
crush out and effectively suppress the
nuisance and menace is the irresist-
ible force of an aroused and earnest
popular sentiment The practice has
been well characterized by Judge Dix
on as slap in the face of our civil.
cation. AS long as it is permitted to
endure all argument for race purity
becomes lying bombast, and all effort
to establish a separation by legal
means a farce. 1t renders our Jim
Grow" regulations, our diatribes
against social equality, our stilted edi
torials, speeches, lectures and litera
ture on this subject ridiculous. 1t is
as has been pointed out in the force
full and practical address of judge
Dixon, the foul source from whicl
springs almost every crime which is t,

: courts. 1t is a crime against boil

Holland and Lambert, the propri- etors of the Brookhill saloon, on East Third avenue, have ben cited to ap pear before Judge James Gould in the Jefferson county court Thursday afternoon at o'clock and show cause why their license should not be re- voked for an alleged violation of the Sunday law governing the sale of liquor. The citation was issued this morning and the saloonists were or dered to appear on the day following Christmas.
 It is stated that some startling testimony will be introduced at the hearing against the saloonists.

The editor of the Lincoln County Ledger, published at Star City, gets off a piece of Legislative comedy that would put an ordinary Arkansas law maker to shame and make him lock like three counterfeit dimes. The bill, as it appears in the Ledger of it's last issue, follows:

 was frequently applauded when he mystifled those in the audience. The act of Miss Alice Zelma was one oi the most unique mystery ever pre- sehtedNi in this city. Her work is fal above the ordinary black art stunts and the ease in which she goes about them adds to various scenes. The Dunbar Duo, the child artists, Buster Brown and Mary Jans, appeared in singing and dancing specialties. The work of the little girl is "cute" and the singing of Buster" a feature. The Olympascope came in for it's usual share of entertainment, the subjects being among the latest prepared in the East.

Erhe second purse snatching with in forty-eight hours was recorded in this city Monday night at o'clock when Mrs. Anna Henry, wife of Frank Henry, the manager at the Mint cafe and saloon, Third avenue and Main stYeet, was attacked by a highway man -West-Second- avenue and Olive street, and relieved of her hand bag, containing ten dollars in money and various articles of little value. The highwayman's victim resisted ] him, but when he kicked at her little girl, walking by her side, she let go of the handbag and protected her ! child. Once in possession of the ! handbag the thief fled through dark passageway and escaped.
 An hour later Deputy Constable Ed Francis effected the arrest of three young white men, strangers here and Ir5elieved to be members of a gang of MelSkes operating in this city. All Id&I Hem deny the charge of robbery, Fhut they are unable to explain their Business in the city. The trio are in the Jefferson county jail awaiting the ' outcome of all investigation being made by Deputy Francis. eee-f The three men arrested gave their names to be James Oliver, 30 years old, of Pennsylvania; Lawrence Ober- miller of Peach Orchard, Ark, and Everett Vandermark of Hot Springs. Warrants, charging them with rob- bery, were issued by Justice Frazier.
 Mrs. Henry will probably be called on to identify one of the accused men. Oliver, the officers say answers the description of the man who at- tackled Mrs. Henry. He strongly de- nies knowing anything of the hold up and says he never had hand in it. Mrs. Oliver screamed lustily when attacked.

What Did He Do With 1t?

A Philadelphia clergyman was

Il once heard him speak," he said,
land his humor and %eloquence i'm
pressed me deeply.
He had a happy knack of illustra-
ton. He wanted, l remember, to il
lustrate the frailty that is a part of
even the best characters, and he told
a story about a brave young soldier.
This soldier, he said, enlisted in
the Spanish-American War, and he
fought like a lion for his country.
The firm he had worked for, pleased
with the record he was making for
himself, told his wife that all the time
he was away they would pay half his
wages to her.
Accordingly, at the end of the
first week the young woman called
at the Office, and the head of the firm
handed her So.
She looked at the money, and her
face clouded over.

BELL FROM THE SEA.
Saved From q Wrcck-Now An
nounccs News of Overdue Ships.

IoillSSS 4NSho VI oA1PS
Probably very few people are
aware that an old ships bell which
for many years has lain under the
sea is suspended in the underwriting
room at Lloyd; and is used to
announce" the arrival or other news
received in respect of overdue ships,
This is the bell of the frigate Lu'
tine, wrecked long ago off the Dutch
coast. After being under the water
for years the bell was salved and
now, strangely enough, is employed
to inform underwriters that some.
thing has been heard of n of those
ships which by their ]protracted pas
sages are causing uneasiness.
Not every ship that is o. the over
due market Is announced in this
manner 1t is only when an under
writer has expressed to the commit
tee his desire for immediate informa'
ton in respect to this or to that over.
due vessel that the note of the old
black bell rings through the rooms.
At the present time there are
eleven ships down on the list for an,
nouncement by the Lutine bell, but
some of these are so hopelessly over
due that it is. practically certain
nothing further will be heard o.
them. The big steel bark Alsternixe.
for instance, heads the list. She was
formerly the British ship Lord Tenn
plemore and was built at Belfast IL
1892. This ship has not been hearc
of since last November, when she
sailed from Callao for Australia.

O GIVETH REST.

God sends sometimes a stiffness in our life
The bivouac, the sleep,
When on the silent battlefield the strne
Is hushed in slumber deep;
When wearied hearts, exhausted, sink to
rest,
Remembering not the struggle, nor the
quest.
He giveth rest more perfect, pure and true,
While we His burden bear;
It %springeth Lot from parted pain, but
through
The accepted blessing, there
The lesson pondered DER with thoughtful
eyes,
The faith that sees in all a meaning wise.
Deep in the heart Of pain Gods hand hath
set
A hidden rest and bliss;
Take as His gift the pain, the gift brings
yet
A truer happiness.
Gods voice speaks through it all the high
behest
That bids the people enter into rest.

They That Inherit the Earth.

Humility is not a feeling of per-
sonal unworthiness, of self abase-
ment, but rather the habit Of omit
ting self from ones thoughts. 1t is
not thinking ones self little, but
thinking little of self.
A man may feel very small and yet
be far from humble. A man may
profess to be a worm of the dust
and still be a great egotist. Such
a man will usually try to convince
you that a good humble worm (like
he isl is far above the angels.
True humility Is taking all the rest
of the world for its true value with
out that value being increased or
diminished by Jul egotism.
The people Of notable humility
have not been unmindful Of their
own worth and ability. Many Of
them, in fact, have possessed a child
like delight in their own powers,
which caused some to call them ego
lists.
All truly great men and women
have possessed the spirit Of humility.
Without its simplicity of mind and
openness Of heart greatness Is i'm
possible.
To them all things in earth or
heaven cal to their mind, for
there is nothing insignificant or
mean. They meet the children Of
men with wonder and clear UNDER
standing. There is no question OF
greatness or smallness, no dividing
line of servant and ruler, no thought
of wealth or poverty: the heart Is
simply ope } all of them, the mind
simply coIs.ders their true value as
human beings.
1t is not that the humble consid-
ers himself worse than the man the
world calls bad, not that he consid-
ers himself simpler than the man the
world calls a fool, not that he con-
siders himself more unworthy than
this human derelict; simply that he
does not consider himself at all. He
receives them without weighing or
measuring them against self. He
meets them all without considera-
ton of his standing" or his "infu-
ence."
Of course, were he inclined to- look.
he would see that he was better,
wiser, more fortunate than many Of
his fellow men; but herein Is his hui
mility, that he does not make the
comparison.
Of all our public men perhaps
Lincoln was the most truly humble
He was just as conscious of his abil-
ity, just as sure Of his grip as any
other, but in dealing with all men,
he thought of them, not himself, and
in considering public questions. he
thought Of the country. and not his
career.
Emerson was notably humble, and
John Burroughs is beautifully 80.
Their humility is shown by their open
minds and simple hearts.
Christ with all His humility never
once deprecated His power, but Of
ten professed it. Yet even when He
was proclaiming His equality with
God, you are impressed with His hui
mility. You feel that even that He
was doing not because He cared to
be exalted in their minds, but be-
cause He wanted them to perceive
the truth.
Only the humble shall inherit the
earth, for they alone have their
hearts unobstructed by egotism, so
the truth may flow in and love foW
out.-William H. Handy, In the
Christian Register.
