The music had stopped, and begun

stood there. People had passed her
by, going out, but they had not seen
her in the shadow Of the corner.
There came sudden silence. The
leaves Of the trees stopped their whis-
perings, the wind died away in the
night, the. voices about ceased their
murmuring, the rain-drops chung to the
branches; and out from the silence
came the word Of command which all

HON. GROVER CLEVELAND.

Princeton. N. J., March 1S.-It
 the letters and telegrams and other messages of congratulation received today at the home of MT. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the birthday of the ex-president. A number of the |felicitious greeting were forwarded to
 MT. Cleveland, who is now enjoying his annual spring pleasure trip in the
 South, visiting his old friend, Gen. E.
 P. Alexander, at Georgetown, s. c. It
 is to these regular hunting and fishing trips that MT. Cleveland attributes ill no small measure his robust health at the age of three score and ten.
 It is interesting to note that the
 twenty-five men who have served as president of the United States, eight of of the first twelve who filled the office lived to be 70 years of age or older, while of the thirteen who followed in the office of chief executive of the na- tion there were but four who lived to the age of 70-Presidents Fillmore, Buchanan, Hayes and Cleveland. Of the first twelve presidents John Ad- ans lived to the age of 90, James Mad , ison died at S5, Thomas Jefferson at 83,. John Quincy Adams at 80, and Martin Van Buren and Andrew Jack son at the ages of 79 and 7S, respec- lively.
 Of the last thirteen presidents none ! has attained the age of 80. James Buchanan, the oldest, died at the age , of 77. Willard Fillmore was "A at the time of his death and Rutherford B. Hayes passed away soon after he had

NEW S1,500 JOB CREATED BY COUNCIL
City Collector WantedCty Property at East Second Avenue and State Street Sold to J. E. Rutherford and D. H. Duncan-New Fire Station in Lakeside to Be Built Immediately-P

The city council met last night in regular session and much im- portant business was disposed of. Several ordinances were adopted, one of which provided for the es- tablishment of a new fire station in Lakeside. The site has been pur- chased on Laurel street and bids for the erection of the building will close April 5. Alderman Boyce, chairman of the finance committee, presented the bills for the week and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of same.
 Alderman Dunnington, chairman of the police committee, reported that. the proprietors of the negro sa- loon, on East Fourth avenue, whose saloon and restaurant was ordered closed on Sundays by the council a week ago. had requested him that the counciis. rescind it's action and allow them to reopen the restaurant in fhe, rear of the place. Because of the fact that it was unusually quiet there last Sunday the mem- bers of the council decided that it was best to leave that place closed.
 Alderman Hightower, chairman of the ordinance committee, pre- sented the following ordinancee, which were adopted: An ordinance providing for the purchase of a lot at Lakeside at a cost of $500, upon which is to be erected a sub-fire station. An ordinance providing for the purchase of new equipment and repairs for the fire department,

[ SERVICE SENSATION WAS SPRUNG
Buff Light and Water Company Refuses to Fur fish Doctor J. w. Scales With Lights Serious
 harges- Council and Mayor Caldwell Will Not ompel Company to Do So-Believes That Black lst Exists Between Light Companies

for the reason that the plant was not nishing at present He said that it was the object of the company to give good service instead of so much of it. He was asked how long it had been since the company had been re- fusing to give light service and re- piled that the decision to that effect was reached last summer. He said Manager Fowles had been instructed not to refuse new light business. At the expiration of certain contracts, he said, there might have been new customers listed.
 Motion was made that the Pine Bluff Light and Water company be compelled to furnish Doctor Scales light service. It was seconded and the vote taken. It resulted in four four tie vote, and Mayor Caldwell voted in the negative. The motion failed to carry.
 The request of Doctor Scales was pre- sented through Alderman A. c. Jordan, although the latter had little to say during the discussion. It was during the discussion that Mayor Caldwell asked President Bridges of the Pine Bluff Light and Water com pany if he had heard of hairpins be- ing placed in a meter to reduce the bill for lights. MT. Bridges replied that it was the first he had heard of it.

RHODES-HAyERTY FURN. co.

It is quite hard to make sales with broken stock, as We could not fit out a room, so in order to make our present stock move, we were forced to buy a few more goods with which to fill out, therefore, we have bought two or three cars of nice new, up-to- date goods to fill in with, which makes our stock very complete. They will arrive in two or three days, and these goods will be sold cheap, with scarce ly any profit, as we are not expecting to make any money. Our object is to get our stock down to $3,000 Or $4,000 of strictly staple goods, then it will be easy to lump it to some one.
 Our SKIP rugs have just arrived, and we have big stock and fine as- sortment, and they go on sale at the same low prices as we have been closing out under; that is. $17.50 for the 9x12 Administers, $16.50 for 9x12 velvets. 9x12 genuine wilton rugs, $23.50 and Brussels at $11 and $13.50.
