Latest Suitor Wins Girl.

Lancaster, Pa.-James Jones, of
New York, came to this city to wed
Emily Jackson, but when he reached
town the marriage license office was
closed and the wedding was post
poned.
Marshall Richardson, who was also
a sutton, heard of Jones being in
town, and of Emily's intention to
marry him. This did not deter him
from calling on the girl, and he was
so persuasive that Emily changed her
mind and dismissed Jones. Richard
son and the girl received a marriage
license and they were married.

Hindoo Defines Billiards

John Horgan, the champion pool
player, told at a dinner in st. Louis a
billiard story.
Billiards is tame amusement be.

HindoosS were once discussing the
game in Calcutta, and I think that
their idea of it was pretty near the
right one.
what's this white mans game Of
billiards l hear so much about? said
the first Hindoo
Don't you know?' said the second.
"'No. Tell me-

Follows Master Through Crowded
Streets of Washington,

Westinghouse large Chinese goose
was seen wandering along Pennsyl
vania avenue and up Fourteenth
street a few nights ago, apparently
following its own inclinations in TAX
ing stroll. Its owner was near, but
no sign of his presence was given I'M
til one friend greeted another by plac-
ing his hands on his shoulders At
this movement the goose suddenly
darted forward in defense of the man
thus approached.
He is A. A. Bib, of 302 Tenth
street northwest, and Doc is the
name of the bird. DOC" is his mas
ter's pet. He came to Washington
about eight months ago in a crate
filled with geese, and as soon as Mr.
Bib saw him he was chosen for a
career that does not, usually fall to
the lot of his kind. But Doc did not
realize the honors in store for him As
soon as released, he flew away, soar
ing over the tops of buildings until he
was lost to sight. He was recaptureG
near the Smithsonian grounds and re-
turned to his owner. His wings were
clipped, and there were no more at
tempts to escape. Docs" longing for
liberty apparently disappeared with
his means to enjoy it, and he has now
taken on many of the habits Of a
Washingtonian.
Doc" is a fine looking, swan-like
bird and weighs about 20 pounds. All.
most every afternoon, when the side
walks are cool, Doc" is taken out
for a stroll. He usually keeps in
front of Mr. Bib, and picks his way
through the biggest of crowds with
apparently no fear of becoming lost
or trampled upon. If his owner be-
comes lost from sight, even for mo-

Placing New Capitol Columns.

The work of placing in position the
four large columns in the east front OF
the new state capitol was begun Tues
day and will continue until completed
They are the largest stone columns
that will be in the building. They come
from the Pfieffer quarries in indie
pendence county. The stone for these
columns were guarded about year
ago and it was only recently that the
work of turning them was completed
They are put up in sections and it will
require at least 80 days time to place
them in position.

Senate journal Nearly Completed.


The proceedings Of the Senate of
the recent General Assembly is in type
and all the proof of the copy has been
read by the Senate Journal Commit
tee except a portion of the last days
proceedings. The committee, which is
composed of Senators Carlock, Hami-
ter and Harrison, has been engaged in
the preparation of the Senate Jour
nal about four months. Much of the
work of copying the journal for the
printer was done by George H. Ire
vathan, secretary Of the Senate, at his
home in Batesville. The journal when
printed will make a volume of from
500 to 500 pages. 1t was expected
that the report of the joint committee
appointed to investigate matters relat-
ing to the construction of the new
state capitol would be made a part
of the Senate journal, but this was
found to be unnecessary, as the report
is contained in the proceedings of the
house, in which the resolution author
izing the appointment of the commit
tee originated. This report is in itself
a bulky volume and has already been
printed. The bound volumes of the
proceedings of both Senate and house
will probably be delivered to the Sec
rotary of state within the next go
days.

For Yellow Fever Quarantine.

Brigadier General Surridge of
Black Rock has secured favorable

ers for members of the militia who

Money Orders to Italy.

Although the foreign population in
Little Rock is not in the majority, a
great deal of the money order bust
ness in the Little Rock postoffice, is
foreign business Each week many
money orders are made out for pay
ments in points in Greece and Italy
November and December are the heav-
lest months at the local Office for for
eign business. This probably is due
to the fact that strangers send part
of their earnings home as Christmas
presents.

But Few EnIistments.

If, as it is said, municipal progress
is guaged, to a certain extent at the
recruiting Office of the United States
army, by the number of enlistments,
Little Rock is enjoying a period of
prosperity, because there have been but
three enlistments in this city since
September /. This is attributed to
the ability of the young men to get
