Blaney's--41ottie, the Poor saIeslady."

Thrills without number were supplied the
big audiences at Blaney's Theatre yester-
day by ''Lottie the Poor Saleslady. or
Death Before Dishonor." which is the
latest melodramatic concoction of Charles
e. Blaney. There were a dozen or more
sitrstions in which the excitement of both
players and audience ran high. The usual
persecution of innocent females in distress
met its usual reward in the victory OF
virtue and the downfall of the villainous
prosecutors.
One of the most elaborate of the scenes
presented in the play is the storm scene.
in which fishermen are seen in the dis
tance casting their nets. 1t is said that
10000 gallons of water are used in staging
this scene Other scenes worthy of COM
ment are Jeanette Blacks gambling house
in full operation. and Steinway's millinery
establishment in New York city, which is
in marked. contrast to the garret occupied
by the heroine.
Miss LYDIA Powell plays the part Of Lot
tie and is well supported by the entire
company Randolph Steinway, IAN old
rogue" is well impersonated by Harry

No fewer than forty-four performers ap-
pear in the eight numbers at Proctor's
this week. When so large a number Of
persons exert themselves. each In their
different way, to entertain an audience,
that audience certainly gets It's moneys
worth, provided there is even a fair aver
tage of ability displayed It can be said
of the entertainers at Proctors this week
that the average is high.
Jesse L. Lasky's production, THE Mill
tary Octette and the Girl With the Baton, y
presents eight cornetists of ability, not to
speak of Miss Mabel Keith, who not only
uses the baton like a regular band master
as she, stands beside the orchestra leader,
but gives the audience sample Of her
own cornet playing besides. The octette,
with two pretty girls, who know how to
strut with martial air, appear as Russian
Hnssars, as English Royal Fusileers in
India, and as our own U. s. A. boys in
blue. Dim s. LEXIS cornet solo won con-
siderable applause
Ned Wayburn's fantastic phantoms,
from Hammerstein's roof garden, gave
their novel and popular act. 1t is one of
the best numbers that Proctor's has had
for some time. The curtain rises on a
darkened stage and eight pairs of white
stockinged legs are seen dancing in
shadowy light The owners OF the legs
are not seen until later. when they appear
in different costumes and under lights,
varying from the white calcium to the
shadowy and dancing sort that makes
risque costumes appear less so, and gives
besides a phantomlike appearance to all
it shines upon. The act ends with skele-
ton dance. in which nine grotesque skele-
tons are seen capering across black
background.
The Darras brothers were very good in
deed in trapeze and acrobatic act. Gus Ed
wardss 'Rube Kids" of whom there are
a whole stage full, with Daisy Leon in the
centre, afford a. deal of amusement. Miss
Leon can sing tolerably well, but two little
boys, Johnny Hines and Eddie Parkes, as
the mischievous twins, deserve the palm
for merit in the aggregation
Therese Dorgeval took the place of Tia
Grannon, a. singing coincidence, who was
booked, but did not appear. Field and
Downing were good as Hebrew comedians.
Elsie Harvey, assisted by the Field
brothers, in singing and dancing, were kept
on the stage as long as they would stay,
for their dancing was liked. c, w. Will
iamss ventriloquial sketch was excellent.

good. The olio presented many clever en-
tertainers. among whom Rogers and Evans
in singing and dancing were especially sue

forded much mirth. Campbell and Beard In

MACHINE PICKS
 AND GINS COTTON

Montgomery, Ala, Oct., 9.-The problem of picking cotton by ma chinery and ginning it at the same time, has been solved, it is claim ed, by the Worsick-Haardt cotton harvester. Both inventors are Mont gomerians, and are well known. It is the first time on record, it is said that cotton Aas been picked di- rectly rom the bolls and transferred directly to a gin on the field and glnned ready for the packing. A large number witnessed the exhibi- tlon, and declared it wonderful. Several capitalists have asked to De let in on the invention, but the owners decline, intending to put it upon the market themselves. The principle upon which it works is suction. A nozzle of hoses is placed close to the boil of cotton, and it comes out whizzing, and from the tube isthrown into the gin receptacle and from the gin it comes out a clean roll of cotton.

 Monsignor Lucey's answer, thank ing Colonel Fordyce for the contri- button, follows:
 Pine Bluff, Ark, Oct. 9, 1907. Col. s. w. Fordyce, Hot Springs, Ark. Dear Col. Fordyce:
 Your favor of the 7th inst. with check for $100 in aid of the memorial monument to the women of the Con- federacy has been gratefully received. This generosity from you, a Union soldier and member of the Grand Army of the Republic, to the United Confederate Veterans of Arkansas is highly appreciated and is most time- ly, as it will enable the memorial committee to take the first important step towards the erection of the mon ument by publishing without delay 5000 copies of the "reminiscences of more than fifty Arkansas women who bore an heroic part in the historic struggle of over forty years ago when North and South showed the world how Americans can fight. Your thoughtful gift and the admirable spirit which inspires your letter bear ample evidence to the fact that Amer jeans, when their war is over, know how to dwell together in brotherly peace and find a mutual pride in the resplendent glory of American valor as illustrated by the armies of U. IS. Grant and Robert k. Lee. Yours sincerely.

JAMES [, R|DD|CK'
 PASSES AWAY Popular Associate Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court Died at an Early Hour This Morning.
POPULAR AND JUST
We'll Known in Pine Bluff-Deatii Due to Typhoid Fever-Funeral Will Be Held in Capital City Thursday Afternoon.

/ Honorable James B. Riddick, asso- ciate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court, died this morning at 2:30 o. clock at his home in Little Rock, after an illness of several weeks. His death was due to typhoid fever and was unexpected. His condition was much improved the past week, but took a sudden turn for the worse Sunday and he suffered sinking spells repeatedly until his death.
 Justice Riddick was about 5 years old and leaves a family. He was one of the brainiest and most popular men On the Supreme bench in this state and was considered one of the most competent and just jurists who eyer presided over a court. He had many friends in this city and when Attorney w. T. Woodbridge announc- ed in the circuit court room this morning that the beloved man had passed away, it cast a gloom of sor- row over all of the members of the Pine Bluff bar present. Judge Rid dick was universally popular with the legal fraternity and especially did this apply to Pine Bluff lawyers.
 Special Election For Successor.
 A special election will have to be called by Acting Governor X. o. Pin dall to name a successor to Judge James E. Riddick, associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court, who died at his home in Little Rock this morning. It was at first thought that Governor Pindall could appoint his successor, but the law is plain and provides for special election with in the next sixty days. The unexpired term of Justice Riddick is eleven months. If only nine months were to be filled before the expiration of the term, Governor Pindall would have the authority to appoint his suc- cessor.

BALLASTING IRON
 MOUNTAIN ROAD

It is stated that ballasting has be- gun on the Louisiana division of the Iron Mountain north of McGehee, and that a distance of about 9 miles on that road will be improved. New ties are being put in all along the Pine Bluff district, and in Louisiana, it is stated, and the work is being push ed to completion as rapidly as possi- ble. To obtain ballast, gravel pits are being opened at Arkansas City. A steam shovel has already been sent there
