READY WITH HIS EXPLANATION.
Little Darky Evinced Much Presence
 of Mind In Emeruencv


 A negro minister from Georgia, who was visiting friends in New York city, went one Sunday to the cathedral on Fifth avenue.
 He was very much impressed by the service, especially by the choir boys in the processional and recessional. When he returned to the south he re- solved to introduce the same thing into his church, so he collected 15 or 20 little darkies and drilled them until he had them we'll trained.
 One Sunday the congregation were greatly surprised to see the choir boys marching in, singing the professional. The minister noticed that something was wrong; the boy in front was not carrying anything. He leaned over the pulpit, and in order to avoid at- tracing attention he chanted in tune to the song they were singing:
 "What-have you done-with the in-cense-pot?'
 The little darky. with great pres. ence of bind, chanted back:
 "I-left it in-the aisle-it was too d-n hot. '--Harper's Weekly

FOR STATE ROAD
 FOR ARKANSAS
Measure Providing Appropriation of S2S.000 to Be Used in Making
 Preliminary Surveys.

Little Rock, April 26. The only bill of general character in. troduced in the senate yesterday was presented by Senator De Rositt, providing for the build ing of macadamized road from Fort Smith through the counties of Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Pope, Conway, Faulk- ner, Pulaski, Lonoke, Prairie, Monroe, St. Francis and Critten- den counties to a point on the Mississippi river opposite Mem phis. The bill appropriates S25,- 900 for the survey and location of the road and provides tor the creation of board of commits sioners to look after its construc- ton.
 The senate refused 10 recede from its amendmen. to the Re- form School bill requiring the penitentiary physician 10 serve as physician at the reform school, and amended the bill providing for the printing of the Supreme court reports by authorizing the board to receive bids from pub fishers outside the state and 10 award the contract to the lowest bidder irrespective of locality. Senator Legate ventured the assertion that 1t would be better for the people of the state to have all the public printing done at home. It would keep just that much money in Arkansas. He wanted it understood that he was in favor of protection and especially in the protection of all the interests of the people of Ar kansas.

visit to the foreign warships and the American navy was turned in an im- promptu manner upon the recent gathering in New York to discuss world policies and he held up peace and righteousness as virtues and blessing which go hand in hand. He said that If the time ever comes when the world must choose between them shame to it if 1t chooses peace.
 The thought for this expression was accredited to the Bible, which the president said contained a good deal of sound reading that would not be out of place in peace conference. This sentiment was cheered to the echo and the president then took up his prepared address.
 The pressing of the proverbial gold button invariably used in connection with the opening of an exposition was also an important function in itself as had been expected. On account of the unreadiness of the buildings and the grounds there was little machin- cry to set in motion and many of the buildings had not been supplied with flags to be unfurled. The coldest and most backward spring in the annals of Virginia, marked by severe rain storms in the past month is responsi- ble for the opening ceremonies being marred by incompleted structures and uninstalled machinery Although the exposition management displayed marked energy in meeting situation that for several weeks has been over whelming they were powerless to bring anything like order from the chaotic condition. Contractors were unable to complete many of the buildings in time for the installation Of exhibits and as for the removal of the debris which the grounds are strewn and the scaffolding that encloses large part of the buildings the effect must be likened unto ants trying to move a mountain. Freight congestion on the railway and steamship lines delayed the arrival of shipments and if was utterly impossible to unload, unpack and install the thousands of con- signments of exhibits

TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE.
And He Was the Jsnitor of the Opera

"I never see it snow but am re minded of one night in Colorado" said Jess B. Fulton, of the Fulton Stock company, few days ago. as he watch ed the white falling flakes. We were playing in Colorado one night stands and we struck small town in the mining country. It showed all day and at night you could not see a foot ahead for the bllnding storm. Some. how the members of the company reached the theater and then waited Tor the audience to come. In about an hour a man entered and took a seat near the door. A consultation was held back of the scenes, and I was SC. lected to go out and explain the situa. ton to the audience. I stepped in front of the curtain and, clearing my throat, said:
 Sir, am glad to see that the storm did not keep you away. We have de sided to leave to you the question of whether We will have the show or not You are the only man here. and to. morrow night we must make the next stand We will give the play just as billed, If you ask it, but if you have no ohj--"

COTTON MUST BE REPLANTED
Recent Cold Wave Killed Almost All
 Cotton Which Was Planted.
From the Gazette.

From the Gazette.
 Reports have begun to come in from various sections of the state
 to the effect that the cotton seed
 planted before the recent period
 of unseasonably cold weather has
 almost all rotted in the ground
 and that farmers will be obliged
 to replant. A large part of the corn that was planted directly
 before the cold wave was also killed, small part of the peach crop was also affected and the gardens of tbe truck farmers have suffered greatly from the cold weather and continuous rain.
 The latter part of last month being unusually warm for the the time of year caused many of the farmers of the cotton belt of Arkansas to plant their cotton at that time aud 1t is estimated by states Department ot Agriculture that this error of the cotton growers will cost them from S30,000 to $40, ,000, this amount being the estimated cost of plant ing cotton in the cotton belt of this state. Notwithstanding this condition of affairs tue farm CTS lost little except that amount, as the cotton crop which is being at the present time will reach the market as early as is usual ia this section, as this is the season when the first planting customarily takes place in the Arkansas cotton belt.

Topeka, April 27-Fred s. Jackson, Kansas attorney general, has an- nounced that as soon as he could se- cure any evidence that would war; rant a prosecution he would instruct a county attorney to begin prosecu- tion of a travelling salesman for selling liquors in Kansas. This evidence probably will be had soon. Mir. Jack son will base this case on the recent decision of the United States supreme court in the Delamater vs. South Carolina case in which the Kansas supreme court was overruieu m a former decision. The case will be brought in the ordinary course of criminal cases through a justice of the peace. It is expected that the defendant will appeal and carry the case eventually to the supreme court. As soon as the case reaches the high CT court an effort will be made to ad- vance it to an early hearing and de- eision.
 The Kansas statutes now provide that any one soliciting orders for liquors may be fined from Sl to $500 or sent to jail for from one to six montns. This statute was held invalid by the supreme court once on the ground that it's enforcement would be a burden on interstate commerce. The United States supreme court, however, upheld the law in the South Carolina case. Mir. Jackson has just received a copy of the opinion in the case and it has been thoroughly discussed in his office. He is now looking for evidence on which to base case and give the Kansas supreme court a chance to reverse a former decision.
 Judge T. F. Carver, Judge $. H. Allen, and George H. Whitcomb, re- ceivers for the property of the brew ing companies, went to Atchison on an early train Friday with the purpose, it is stated, of taking into custody any of the offending brewers prop erty located in that city. Attorney General Jackson said that it was the understanding that the receivers would have the friendly and active CO., operation of the Atchison mayor and city attorney.

RAILR0ADERS GET RAISE.
Increase of Wages to Certain Classes
 of S to $25 Monthly.

According to dispatches from St. Louis, the Missouri Pacific has granted generous increase in wages to all trainma masters, chief dispatchers and trick dis patchers employed on that sys- tenn. There is but little doubt that the increase will also be effective on the Iron Mountain branch of the Missouri Pacific system, although no word is said to have been received here as yet concerning the increase.
 The increase varies iron $5 to S25 per month, according to the class of employment or the division. The raise in wages will mean an aggregate increase of S1S,000 over the entire system. The increase is said to have been granted without any solicitation on the part of the employees af- fected.
 If it is effective on the Iron Mountain, as it is thought to be the case, thirty employes will be affected in Arkansas. Out of this number five are chief dis patchers, five arc trainmasters and ten are trick dispatchers. - Gazette.

CATCH FISH IN
 THE PARK LAKE
Hundreds of Men, Women and Chil, dren Had a Good Time Saturday and Park Fund Gets Boost
 Everybody Makes a Catch.

Father Gallagher, as park com missioner, gave his fishing party at Janssen Park lake Saturday, each fisher paying a small sum for the privilege, which goes to the fund to be used in beautifyiug the park.
 Long before 10 o'clock, the hour set for fishing to begin, the banks of the lake were lined with men, women and children, all seeking points of vantage from which to cast their hooks when the signal was given, and it was an orderly crowd of boys and girls, both young and old. It was not observed that even one small boy cast his hook into the water or made as much as a ripple therein by casting pebble or by other prank,
 A few moments before the hour of 10, Mayor Olney announced that the signal for fishing would be given by a shot from a gun, asked for good order aud told of the prizes offered. As the mayor ceased speaking the crack of a small rifle was heard and on the instant some seventy-five hooks were cast by anxious hand into the water.
 All eyes were either watching the Goats of their own lines or watching in all directions to see who won the prize for the first fish. In less than a minute k. J. Rosbach landed a little one, and received the prize, 50 cents, from the hand of Father Gallag her. A. F. Hoge caught tue next two inside of three minutes, and from that on the fuu was continual as first one and then another landed a catch.
 Mrs. A. K. Laswell was said to be the first of the many ladies 10 get fish.
 F. J. RosbaCh is said to have caught sixteen fish the first hour, aud Young Mckinney claimed a catch of fourteen.
 The fish caught were mostly small and and great number we're returned to the water as soon as taken from hook.
 The receipts for the first hour were S22.50 aud would undoubt- edly have been much larger had the weather been less threaten ing,
 About l o'clock the rain that had been threatening all morn ing set iu in earnest, but quite number of the faithful were still at the lake at 3 o'clock.
 Fishing Will continue until & o'clock this evening.
 Despite the heavy rain which set ir about o'clock over $40 was added to the park fund.
