MANAGER DRAKE'S
 BENEFIT

Manager James Drake, of the Elks tneater, is to have his benefit performance April I, on which oc- casion Lew Dockstader and his great aggregation of minstrel stars are to hold the boards at the local playhouse. Hundreds of tickets have already been sold for the Drake benefit and the attendance at the Elks on that night promises to excel any recorded the present season.
 The benefit performances for theater managers and employees of theaters have long been popular in many of the larger cities of the country and they are gwen to show the appreciation of tneater goers of the manner in which managers and the various employees of the theaters cared for them during the season and also to encourage the management in giving them good amusement.
 Manager Drake has endeavored to give Pine Bluff amusement low CTS the best attractions possible the past season, he says, and there is a universal desire on the part of his friends to fill the house at his benefit. Lew DOckstader is great drawing card and Manager Drake could not have selected better night for his benefit.
 No extra admission price will be charged at the Drake benefit. The same prices which are charged everywhere the Dockstader show appears will prevail.

 L|kE: A E:(G3GG Today is Easter and Thou sands of Eggs Have Been Sold by Retailers to Local Consumers.
LOW PRICES PREVAIL,
Essie>> Easter Never Experienced By Pine Bluff-Farmer's Wife Looks After the Chickens Now adays.
;,lays.

Pine Bluff has known such calami- ties as a snoWless Christmas, and a tarkeyless Thanksgiving, but rarely an eggless Easter.
 If the weather ever put a blight on the egg crop, however, it is trying to make up for it this Easter, for the supply is to be bountiful.
 It is estimated by the men who make business of handling the hen product in Pine Bluff that the eggs consumed in cake-making and color ing today will be about 1000 cases, or 300,0oo newly laid eggs. They say that they have supplied these to the grocer so that the consumer may have them at from 13 to IS cents d dozen. Eggs have been higher many times, but seldom cheaper for -Eas- ter.
 There are several reasons assigned for the plentiful supply. One is the warm weather. Then the men who travel about the country gathering up the poultry products say the farmers housewife is keeping pace with the industrious farmer ill the field. who every year is making two blades of grass grow where formerly only one sprOuted.
 Increasing tie Supply.
 The egg men say the farmers wife is paying more attention to the egg department. She cares for the chick ell better, matches more chicks and studies scientifically to increase the egg supply from the hens Eggs are more carefully and economically han dled, The egg supply from many farms is now paying a large propor- ton of the running expenses.
 Tn supplying Pine Bluff with the Easter egg today Arkansas, as she does every other day in the year, will class favorably With the other states, Pine Bluff also draws eggs from Ok lah0ma and Texas.
 l ell years ago, all OlQ uedlef Sal! yesterday, many firms colored large numbers of eggs, which were sold for the amusement of the children. NOW this has been done entirely away with because the candy rabbit anl the colored candy egg have taken the chief places in the affections of the children"
 X dealer said yesterday that the grocer who had been in the habit ct buying one or three cases of eggs a day, bought yesterday ten and twelve cases. One retail grocer bought fifty cases and reported he did not expect them to last so great has been the demand.

NO ELECTRIC POLES THERE.

French cities Place Strong ReatrIc-
lions on the Light Companies.
The distribution of electrical energy
Is progressing so fast In France that
law has been passed setting forth the
most complete administrative regula-
lions for the protection Of the public.
The first and most striking result OF
the new law is the refusal of the mu-
nicipal authorities in all large cities to
permit the use of poles and overhead
wires.
In Marsellles, for instance, two pow
erful companies are preparing to de-
liver electricity in all parts of the city
and neither one has been or will be per-
mitted to erect single pole.
Great progress has been made In the
manufacture of underground cables,
which are carefully Insulated and rem
dered impermeable, so that they may
be laid In ordinary trenches exactly like
gas pipes. AS a rule when the trench
Is prepared a layer of crushed lime
stone is spread on the bottom and after

by thin bricks so as to minimize the
destruction by humidity.
The methods adopted are comp8ra-
lively cheap and are said to involve no
danser to life or property or CONNER
cial disadvantages. As the location OF
breaks can be determined before n pick
Is placed In the earth, just as flaws In
ocean cables can be located, the COLI
struction of expensive permanent un-
derground conduits may be dispensed
with.
Companies will be required to COM
pCnsate the State, the department and
the communes for the use Of the public
domain and rules for the protection OF
! the landscape will be enforced. The
| conditions viii be subject to annual re-
vision to keep pace with the progress of

Cadets Have Trouble Taking OF
stiff Duck Trousers.
In changing apparel and dressing

many a fashionable girl at summer

times a day stern military fashion COM
pels him to appear in certain prescribed
uniforms at the various exercises
Among his most particular articles Of
dress are the snow white duck trousers
Not d break must be seen in the long
crease from top to bottom. These cost
81 a pair. Each cadet has from twelve
to fifteen pairs. Dement'S are imposed
for q bad wrinkle or a break In the
crease during dress parade. A short
walk along filtration path" and few
sittlngs for spooning with a fair camp
visitor play havoc with a fresh pair
of duck trousers, and they must be dis
carded for official wear until relaun-
dered. Probably Uncle Sans young
wards at West Point are the only SOL
ders that cannot pull off their own
trousers. One of the amusing scenes
caught by a Tribune photographer re-
Gently was one cadet giving another a
drag" This Is, however, only an Or
binary courtesy between cadets At an
angle of rs degrees one reclines on the
floor or bed. while his partner, with
hands grasping the inner edges OF the
boardlike trousers, by swift pull and
twist slips them off without rufling the
precious things.
Hello, Jones, come give me
drag" Is one of the most familiar and
often heard calls just after parade or
other formal ceremony.
While In camp the cadets had the OPP
portunity to carry out numerous class
customs and jokes OF a mild nature, the
oldtime hazlng having been entirely
done away with. One Of the most ex-
citing and spectacular of these diver
sions is that OF giving a cadet the by
