D. & R. G. OPERATORS
WILL STRIKE
TONIGHT
Road Must ReinState Dis.
charged Wire Chief Or
Be Tied Up.
WALKOUT ORDER WILL
BE ISSUED AT 8.

Denver, Colo, Oct 22.-Unless the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad
agrees to reinstate II. II. Skeggs, wire
chlef at Grand Junction, at once, 400
telegraph operators will desert their
Keys at o'clock tonight. This is the
announcement made from the oper-
ators' headquarters. An ultimatum
was sent to the railroad officials by
the operators this morning. Skeggs
arrived from Grand Junction last
night and held a conference with
Pre- sident Perham and the officials of
the Rio Grande until a late hour.
This conference was unsatisfactory
and this morning the ultlmatum was
prepared and sent TO the railroad of
ficials.
Cause of Proposed Strike.
When the Western Union operat-
ors went on strike, the members of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers
decided that they would not send any
messages or test any wires for the
telegraph company. This decision
was generally adhered to and no
trouble resulted until Perham. who
was then wire chief at Grand June
tion, Colo. refused to test out a wire
for the Western Union some days
since. For this refusal, the Denver
and Rio Grande discharged him. The
o. r. Il. officials took the matter up
with the road and after repeated un-
successful conferences, took a vote OF
the railway telegraphers as to calling
a strike, resulting in unanimous
vote for the strike. which will be
called tonight unless Skeggs is rein
stated, which is not likely, as the
railroad officials are firm.

NEWS. NOT OPINIONS.

The Graphic reprints the follow ing from the Nashville American and desires to give it emphasis b. hearty endorsement:
 The American is not a cam paign organ. It cannot under. take to give space to boosts ot this or that candidate for office or publishing articles favora- ble to them, which often are nothing more than the opinion of correspondents. It is the '. the business of correspondents : to send the news, not opinions; or the sentiments of alleged sentiments of others as to the : political fortunes of any indi- vldual. A newspaper might easily fill, its columns with re- . ports as to how this, or that candidate for office stands ;n ;, ;, this and that community, and ', these reports through bias, unconscious. or otherwise, of correspondents, or information. that might be misleading, would have no real news value. Even the reports were absolutely :. accurate they are not in the na- lure of such news as a news paper cares to yield space, ur- less it be of class that is cas- fly made the vehicle of politic- ians.
 "A contest between parties and a contest between individ- uals of the same party are not :. of the same character, and '. neither is news of them. In former days the newspaper was made the organ or vehi- cle of the office-seeker who through it's columns got be- fore the public such matter as he desired, and with out cost to himself. It was a good thing for the politician, but of no value to the newspaper.

RIGHTS NOT SOLD,
 '.t.ss@ SAYS CRAWFORD
Mobile and Shreveport Have, Not Agreed Upon Price for the
 Southern League Fran
 +.,r.s chise, It Is Said.

Shreveport, La., Oct, 9.-W. T. Crawford, owner of the Shreveport baseball franchise in the Southern League, said today that no deal had been made whereby Shreveport "relinquishess membership in that League. It is generally believed, however, that. Shreveport's days in the Southern League are number ed, and that Mobile will take the berth, while Shreveport will join the Cotton States League.
 Twenty Thousand dollars is said to be the price asked by Captain Crawford for all rights, including g the franchise and claims on players. The Mobile people, it is said, are willing to pay $16,OO0, and have offered to compromise for $18,OOO, but Captain Crawford remains mum. Shreveport's seven years connection with the league has been such a financial failure that it is not thought here that the amount ask ed for the franchise will equal the deficit.

Spoke Too Soon.

The other day a stranger thus ad- dressed a passenger coming out of the Union station:
 You will excuse me, sir, but isn't this''- .-.
 The passenger, without waiting for the other to finish, responded
 "'Your umbrella? Well. I presume 1t Is, sir. You will allow me to explain that I picked 1t up on coming out of the train just now. have great pleas ure in restoring 1t to the rightful own er." !>
 The stranger expressed his thanks and quickly made oil.
 A few minutes later the same stran- ger, with a brand new umbrella tucked carefully under his arm, asked another individual the same question he had intended to ask the man who handed him the umbrella.
 "You will excuse me, sir, but isn't this the nearest way to Fifth avenue?' Kansas City Independent.

"The Almighty Dollar"

A recent headline, Rule of the Dol lar," has suggested the inquiry, Who originated the familiar phrase "the almighty dollar?'' It was Washington Irving in "The Creole Village" which he published in 1887. The phrase be- came so popular and excited so much controversy in consequence of a doubt whether the adjective was irreyerent that it's author had to explain eighteen years later that he had intended "no irreverence, even to the dollar, which he is we'll aware is becoming daily more and more an object of worship" Dollar" is certainly one of the worlds great words now, and it Is difficult to realize that 1t only means "valleyer," the "thaler" having been named after the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, in whose valley it was first coined in the six teenth century.-London Chronicle.

TT, B, As Poem."

Thomas Bailey Aldrch was fond of retelling that anecdote of his own boy. ish daring which appears in his "Ponk- apog Papers," to the effect that upoE first entering James T. Fields office In the Old Corner Bookstore his eyes fell upon that kindly editor and publishers memorandum book, open upon the ta- ble. Mir. Fields was absent for the moment, and the youthful poet could not help noticing the impressive list of agenda: Don't forget to mail R. W. B. his contract" Don't forget O.. W. HIS proofs," etc., whereupon the 'young Milton," who certainly deserved to succeed in his profession, wrote upon the memorandum book, Don't forget to accept T. B. As poem," and disappeared. The poem was accepted, paid for and, truest kindness of all, as MT. Aldrich asserted, was never print ed. But the resourceful youth never lost his deferential attitude toward the bearers of those famous initialed names that had once preceded his own.-AAt- lantic.

Suicide as Experiment.

A wealthy young man named Lean dro Improta after taking refreshment at cafe i1HNaples called for pen and ink and wrote a number of notes and letters. He then quietly took out q small revolver and shot himself in the breast. One of the letters found in his pocket runs:
 To the Curious Public-In this century 1t Is impossible voluntarily to leave this world without great efforts being made on the part of newspapers and curious people to discover the cause of the deed. In my case wished to study metempsychosis at close quarters. Is that not fine idea? So much has been written on the subject. and 1t pleases me to discover instead of talking. So I determined to die and see whether I shall be reborn in the form of some animal. It would be delightful to return to this world as lion or a rat This Is why wanted to die. ADDIO.

A DESERVED APPROPRIATION.

At meeting of the County Levy ing Court yesterday that body appro- priated the sum of 5000 for the La dies Hospital Association of this city The Graphic believes that the action of the Levying Court in mak- ing this appropriation will be en- dorsed by the taxpayers of the county. There is no greater need at this time than a hospital in Pine Bluff; it is one of the crying wants of the hour, and now that the Ladies Hospital As sociation has received this appropria- tion, the Graphic hopes that the good women engaged in this enterprise will receive a new impetus, and start to work with a renewal of hope and en- ergy, and that the hospital will be an accomplished fact before the end of another year. $
 Lord ROseberry, the British Prime Minister, once declared that the only difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich are better able to take care of their sick than the poor It is, therefore, one of the prime duties of government to take care of those who have had the mis- fortune to be overtaken by ill-health, and who have not the means to pro- vide such comfort and surroundings as are necessary in times of sickness. The highest obligation of the rich is to- provide accommodation for the needy poor in time of sickness. Those who are in health are always, or at least should be, able to take care of themselves, while ill-health is a ca lamity against which many are not able to provide. It is also fact that recovery in many cases is de- pendent absolutely upon care and treatment, and nowhere can the sick receive better or more scientific treat ment than in hospital or sanitarium An hospital is therefore necessity In every city, and Pine Bluff has been long lacking in this regard.
 The Graphic doffs it's hat to the good ladies engaged in this enter prise. It salutes them asSworkers in the noblest work for God and hu-

manity, and when this building shall become an accomplished reality it will stand forth as an ever living manu- ment to their work, to their energy, to their enterprise, and to their char acter, more noble and enduring than any monument of marble or brass. Their work will be blessing to hu- manity, and hundreds yet unborn will rise to bless their memory.

Let No One Boast.

Nevertheless, let no one boast. Just as every man, though he be the great est genius, has very definite Limitations 'n some one sphere of knowledge, and thus attests his common origin with she essentially perverse and stupid mass of mankind, so also has every man something in his nature which is positively evil. Even the best-nay, the ooblest- character will sometimes sur prise us by isolated traits of depravity as though 1t W ere to acknowledge his Ginship with the human race, in which villainy-nay, cruelty-is to be found in that degree.-Sehopenhauer.
