JEWEIRY FASHIONS WHICH
HAVE RETURNED.

Jewelry, like furs, seems to run in
cycles.
When a piece goes out of fashion, in
stead of having it altered to suit the
fad of the moment. it may be laid
away, and is pretty sure to come IN
style again within the generation.
Look at the broad, gold enamel
bracelet that was worn some fifteen
years ago.
The girl who possesses a pair OF
them which have been handed down
by her mother is an object of real envy
al present.
Watches have been globular of late
but now they are worn as fiat as pos
sible, and hang, loeket-fashlon, on
short, slender chain.
Many fashionably attired women are
wearing the long, old-fashioned ear
rings, which are once more becoming
popular, especially with English and
Spanish women.
To c6nfine the tops of long gloves
there is a flexible bracelet in the shape
of a. serpent. which is twined several
times about the arm, the jeweled head
emitting scintillating sparks.
Fewer long chains are worn but
there is a decided vogue for jeweled
pendants.

vases of special design and color, she

THE TOILET.

On every washstand a lemon or two
should be kept. Nothing is better for
the toilet than the juice of this fruit.
1t is refreshing to the taste, and it is
cleansing to the skin. A few drops
squeezed into the water with which
the teeth are cleaned not only will aid
in keeping the tartar away from them
but it will also make the breath sweet
and pure.
No better lotion for the tender skin
roughened by fall winds can be found
al any druggists than one can buy at
the nearest dairy. or even find in ones
own ice chest. No emollient is better
than pure fresh cream. Rub 1t in well
at night. wiping face. neck and arms
afterward with soft linen towel. In
the morning use soap and water, rims
ing thoroughly with pure cold water.
Dry the skin carefully.

CAPTAIN PENNEY
 HAS RESIGNED
Jefferson FencibleS Met Yester(lav at Court House and Dis- cussed Military Affairs.
 To Meet Again Thursday.

The Jefferson Fencibles, the local dfsorganlzed military company, met yesterday afternoon at the court house and discussed plans for the proposed trip to the Jamestown ex- position. The meeting was pre- sided over by Captain w. B. Pinney, who is now representative in the state legislature from the county.
 Captain Pinney rendered his resignation. He said that inasmuch as he was away from the city most of his time he could not give the office the attention that it required. His resignation was not accepted and he will be urged to continue as captain of the local company. Aside from discussing plans for reor- ganization, nothing else was done at the meeting yesterday
 The company will meet again Thursday night in the circuit court room to elect officers for the en- suing year. If Captain Pinney re- fuses to continue captain of the company, it is likely that First Lieutenant Fred Vining will be elected to succeed him.
 The boys are enthusiastic over the reorganization of the company and an effort will be made to en- large it.; There will be. an inspec- tion by the United States army commissioners on April 22.

PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS MONDAY, MARCH H. 1907

elevator a local officer rushed into the hotel and requested the young lady in charge of the switchboard to
 fln@ up the couple in No. 121. and tell them to, by no means. open the door and let that old man in" While the young lady was ringing the phone determinedly the newly welded pair came down the stair way, accompanied by the irate grandfather and his other relatives. He had the frightened bride in charge and the groom was follow ing sheepishly behind. All the time the old man was pouring words of condemnation into the couples ears. The party left the hotel.
 Later the grandfather rang up County Clerk Core and demanded to know why license should be issued to ''his baby girl" MT. Core informed him that the couple made an affidavit that they were of age and that he could not refuse the license under the circumstances.
 Well, I'll put stripes on that young brat" said the grandparent. MT. Core talked with him while in an effort to reconcile him to the couple, but the old gentleman would not listen to argument.
 A half an hour later MT. Payne, the groom, called Mir. Core up and asked him what they would do with a man who was mixed up in "an affair like this" Mir. Core pictured the interior of the pen- itentiary to him, in the event that he was prosecuted by the grand parent and found guilty.
 MT. Core, this is a serious mat ter with me-" he said. "Are you kidding?'
 "No," replied the county clerk, but I think the old gent will come around alright" and the con- yersation ended.
 At last accounts the party had gone from the city. The grand father and his granddaughter, ac- companied by his daughter and son. in-law. MT. Payne, the groom, left Pine Bluff on the same train. They all bought tickets for Noble Lake.
 MT. Isaacs, the grandparent, is in charge of the branch plant of the Helena Box company at Noble Lake. MT. Payne is employed by him.

STREET CAR e
 STRIKE IS ON

Louisville, Ky, March 1O.-With the exception of the suburban lines entering the city and few cars carrying United States mail to and from the postoffice sub-stations, not street car moved in Louisville to- day.
 The strike of the union employees of the Louisville Railway company, which has been pending over week and which was declared yes terday, became effective at o'clock this morning. At that hour the owl" cars which had been in op- eration during the night ceased running and none of the union men showed up at the barns to begin their days work.
 Although there were left nearly 300 employees out of a total of HOO who were not members of the union at the time the strike was called and part of these showed up for work, the company made not the slightest attempt to run passenger cars today.

LOCAL CLERKS
 AND CARRIERS Get Nice Increase in Sal. arles-To Benefit From New Postofice Apropria- tion Made by Congress.
THE BILL IN DETAIT,
Has Not Been Received at the Pine Blum fostofIice But s1OO Annua, Increase Is Assured-Carriers Made Strong, Consistent Fight.

Carrlers and clerks in the pine
 Bluff postofffce are congratulatine
 one another on the passage of tha
 postoffice appropriation bill by con- sress which places them in the way of an increase in salary. The bill takes care of the carriers and e1eri,s or all flrst-class offices throughout the country and as Pine Bluff comes un- der that head it's employees will he oenefltted. The appropriation will not be available until the first of Turv when the fiscal year for the postoffice department begins.
 For years the carriers of the coun.
 try have been making a strong and consistent fight for an increase in salary and their efforts have at last been rewarded. The fight has result- ed in trouble for many of the men and orders were issued by the department directing employees to take no action that would or could be construed as having a political character. DisobeJ- lence to these orders has resulted in the discharge of various employees from the service. However, in legiti- mate manner the carriers and clerks kept up the agitation and now that the whole Country is enjoying the wave Of prosperity they will come m TOT their share. In view of the &C., ton of congressman increasing their own salaries and the salaries of cab- met officers and other employees of the federal government it was taken for granted that the bill would be passed which would give the min ,r employees much-needed advance.
 In support of the passage of the bill at this time the increased cost of living has been the principal argu- ment. Tables showing the advanced cost in all materials included in the running of the average house were submitted to congress and had de- clding effect. In Pine Bluff the car- riers will, from the first of July. be advanced to SLIGO per year. Not all of the carriers in the local office are full-fedged carriers, in the sense If being $850 or $1,OO0 per year men. Some of them have some years to serve before reaching it. However. the majority will be in the higher class when the bill goes into effect, What the exact provisions of the bill, as they they affect the local office, are is not known as yet The bill as orig inally introduced has been changed in a great many details and the final re- suit is unknown in detail to the local officials
 It is understood that the men are to start in at $500 per year, as now, and to be increased $1O0 yearly until they have reached the SLIGO limit.
 The bill which would increase the salaries of the employees of the treas ury department did not pass. It was juggled in congress until the session closed without any action.
