of everyday life.
Her Fatal Love- shows the pitfalls laid
by depraved minds to catch the innocent.
In quite the accepted manner the wicked
seem to prosper for an indefinite period,
but finally meet their just deserts. Its
moral Is the old lesson, THE way of the
transgressor is hard" and its author states
his belief that it ought to be conducive
of more real good among a certain class
of people than a Vell-delivered sermon.
because, being illustrated both by scenes
and action, 1t can be better understood.
The spectator is given to DECIDE which Is
the better, the path Of virtue or the path
that leads to prison or death. The women
of the audience following Mildred Howard
through the four acts will doubtless feel
that they could scratch the eyes out of
the villain. and finally go home satisfied
that they would rather bear the heroine 5
sad lot than live the life OF wicked splen-
dor chosen by Corinne lie Rue.
Mr.. Parker has given us two humorous
character studies in 'Speck' and Bob
sey," two little waits of the street. whose
knowledge of the evils of a big eity's
thoroughfare seems to have led them 20
follow the right track. With the assist
ance of a pair Of detectives, disguised as
Hebrews, they succeed IN supplying the
comedy elements.

Several resolutions respecting Sunday baseball were passed and the ministers went in a body to see Sheriff Philpot and Prosecuting At torney Jones with the idea of put ting a stop to this practice. Other violations of the Sunday laws were brought to light and steps were taken to put a stop to them. Rev erend c. w. Watson of the Lake side Methodist church, gave a gra- phic description of his tour West. These men are banded together to stamp out any violations of the law and have already accomplished much good.
 Some startling developments were made at this meeting. One of the ministers had discovered a saloon in operation in the East End few Sundays ago while attending to his church duties. Every one present had discovered some viola tions of the Sunday laws in the pursuit of their duties. They also charge that the soda fountain should not be open for business on Sundays. They have written to Mayor w. l.. Toney that he should see that the laws regarding the sale of liquor on Sundays should be enforced and that the doors of the saloons should not be left open on Sundays.
 They also charge that Forest park is not being properly conducted on Sundays and believe that the operation of the merry go-round and shooting gallery are not in keeping with the Sabbath day, notwithstanding the fact that

It is probable that large DOT tion of the products of eastern

 of such a condition the citizens of that city are making strenuous
 efforts to secure another railroad in order to be in position to handle increased freight traffic. says the Little Rock Gazette. Sev- eral attempts to promote new road have apparently fallen through, but the citizens have not lost hope.
 and say that they can present such good reasons as to leave no doubt
 that enough capital to make the de-

 For several years Memphis has experienced difficulty in taking care of the shipments which have pour cd in from Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama. Last year conditions were aggravated by the car short age and there is freight congested

The decision of a special judge in the Jefferson circuit court, who found for the defendant, was af- tirmed yesterday by Justice McCul- loeh in the supreme court at Little Rock in the case of w. N. Truloell against Mrs. M. Parse. The suit was for $500 damages and was lost by Mir. Trulock in the lower court here several months ago
 The legal controversy was the outgrowth of a contention filed by Mir. Trulock, when he added an other story to the brick building on Main street occupied by Sea we'll and Ancrum, druggists. The adjoining building is the property of Mrs. Mary Parse. It was con tended by the plaintiff that the wall between the two buildings was a party wall and that in erect ing the additional story to this building. he had the right to use
