Tillman Is Identified.

Senator Tillman tells story on
himself as to how he was identified by
a post Office money order clerk when
he first arrived at the capital city.
After being In the city few days
he dropped in at the post Office to cash
a money order.
"Do you know any one here who
could identify your" asked the clerk.
well, no." the senator answered.

man of South Carolina"
The clerk smiled, then asked the
senator If he didn't have some letters
or papers that would make him known
to the post Office authorities.
The senator had on new suit that
morning, and had neglected to trans
fer his letters, but he had his pocket
book with him. Digging down In his
trousers pocket, he drew forth his
wallet and proceeded to search for an
article of Identification, but could find
nothing but small photograph OF
himself.

The House of cornelIIe.

The house in which Corneille lived
at Rouen. and where he composed the
cid" "Polyeucte," China" and near
ly all his beautiful plays, is for sale
for $4,000, and proposal has been
made to open public subscription for
its purchase and preservation as an
historical monument.
For the last 100 years periodical at
tempts have been made to secure it
for the state, but always without sue
cess. In 1902 Napoleon himself took
an interest in the question and urged
the mayor TO find the means for it's
purchase.
Corneille, 1t is said. wrote most of
his plays IN the room adjoining the
bar, and the jokes, noise and revel of
the guests, it is added, used to be
quite an inspiration to him. After 200
years the bar is still frequented by
merry drinkers.

advance in civilization, we have de-
veloped anything quite to take its
place. OF course, nowadays, cities
and towns pride themselves on the

we have whole libraries of genealogi-

ing, and It's a pity that such Is the
case.
For one thing, the list of births,
marriages and deaths that were kept
in the ponderous volume of Holy
Writ operated to keep the members
of the family close to one another; 1t

as for reasons more distinctly utili-
tartan. AS scribe succeeded scribe,
the family continuity was emphasized
and the entries were significant OF
the growth of clannish feeling,
which Is too little in evidence at the
present time. There are not, l ven
ture to say, very many people in this
year OF grace who know anything or
care anything about their relatives
further removed than the degree of
first cousinship, and even first cou-
sins are frequently out of mind. OF
course, our tendencies are responsible
largely for this state of affairs, but
often wish that we had reminders of
our kin, such as were furnished by
the family Bible of past days with
their direct personal testimony,
amounting to messages from parents
to children. Whenever l see one of
these pages filed with careful en-
tries-entries made in JOY and in sor-
row, in the confidence of pride OF life
or by the trembling fingers of old age,
it seems to me that we have lost
something in our hurried existence
that Is to be regretted. We can go
to the city or town clerk or, perhaps,
to the public library for information
as to our ancestry or our relatives,
but this is rather cold and formal
method of procedure. Certainly, we
do not find in official records and in
books the handwriting of our fore

General Manager Cherot will have a private office in the new quarters and Presi- dent John F. Rutherford will also have headquarters there. The front part of the building, formerly the hotel lobby, will be used by the office force.
 The second story of the building will be rented for office purposes and the third story will contain furnished rooms, to be used by the Antlers Ho- tel The lower floor of the building has been leased from J. O'Keefe, who holds lease on the entire building.

HAS ANOTHER CALL

Reverend Sam H. Campbell, for the past two years pastor of the Ohio Street Baptist church of this city, and very prominently associated with the erection of that house of worship, has notified the board of deacons of that church that he will tender his resignation to the congregation at the regular service next Sunday morning. Reverend Campbell leaves to take charge of church at Troy, Alabama, from which church he has received a call, and his resignation will take effect in about month. The congre-
 gation of the Ohio Street Baptist church have made no arrangements for another pastor, as his intended resignation was not made public un til today. Reverend Campbell has promis d the Graphic a copy of his resignation to be published.
 Reverend Campbell has been in the city for the past two years, and came here from Dothan, Alabama, about 67 miles from Troy, where he will enter upon his new duties. Reverend Campbell expressed himself this after noon as being very sorry to leave Pine Bluff for he has many friends here whom he will always remember.
 Reverend Campbell has given entire satisfaction as a pastor and a citizen of this city, and was highly esteemed, not alone by his own congregation, but by a large number of members of every church in the city. His large number of friends here will be sorry to learn of his intended departure, and wish him success and happiness wher- ever he may be in the future. He is largely responsible for the beautiful edifice on Ohio street, which was re- gently built, and he may practically be called it's builder. The best wishes of large number of Pine Bluffians will always follow him.
 He was one of the prime movers in getting the car line extended down East Sixth avenue, and he took a prominent part in many other move ments which were of benefit to this city and his charge.
