man contended she had paid her fare, and had ridden in that seat a considerable distance on her lourn- ey without molestation, and declln- ed to move. The attorney for the woman claims the Little Rock street car company is at fault, not placing the proper construction on the separate coach act, or the Jim Crow law, as 1t is commonly called. He contends it was the duty, un- der the act, of the street car com pany to set aside certain seats tor colored passengers, and designate these seats by placards, or in other manners. It is the rule of the street car company to load negroes from the rear and whites from the front until the cars are filled. The case is to be carried to the supreme court.
 Attorney General Kirby has is sued an opinion which is of interest in every school district of the state. Some of the schools made rulings that if children were not six years at certain time during the term, they could not be entered in the schools at any time during the term; and an appeal was made to the attorney general to see what his construction of the law would be on this proposition. Attorney General Kirby holds that when a child becomes six years ot age, 1t is of school age, and admission can not be denied to it i'll any pub | lie school of the state, no matter what day of the term 1t might be. The attorney general also holds 1 that school directors are not requlr- ed to take the child at the opening of the term, when less than six years of age, though it will become legal school age before the term is finished or even progressed far. Attorney General Kirby says the school ages are 6 to 2I, and when a pupil becomes 2I, no matter up on what day of the school term it falls, the obligation of the school to him ceases and he cannot long 4g Iea.<2t,. u~'sea hy sfsciai--.egree- ment.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Dec. Swallowing the announcement of the attorneys for J. s. M. Cannon, who protest ed on the result of the last election held here, with reference to the liquor vote, that they would plead no further, County Judge Joe Ash CT yesterday afternoon entered an order sustaining the motion ot the attorney for the liquor interests to quash the petition. Judge J. +. Sellers of Morrilton, the leading attorney for the prohibitionists, was just taking train for home in the afternoon when notified ot the action of Judge Asher. He stated the case would immediately be taken to the circuit court on ap- peal.
 Apparently with more leisure than he has had any time since be- ing chosen by the people as the next governor of Arkansas, Gov Elect George w. Donaghey has been in the city for the past two days. and is today attending the meeting of the deep water conven- ton, for he is one of the original deep water promoters of the state and stands ready to become asso ciated in the proposed steamboat line at any time. Gov. Donaghey says he is virtually resident o Little Rock now, though he vii not move down for several weeks He has his inaugural addres: about as far advanced as can be at the present time, but it is lei open so the new conditions can bt dealt with as they come up. A to his appointments, Gov Dona ghey is keeping those to himsel until the convening of the leglsla ture, when he will ask the Genera Assembly to ratify his appoint mentS.

Novel Treatment for Insanity.

DR.. Henry S. Atkins, superintendent OF
the st. Louis Asylum for the Insane, has
been testing an entirely new course OF
treatment for mild cases of insanity
among the woman patients, it being moth
ing more or less than a Christmas shop
ping expedition. 1t is his theory that
anything which occupies the mind pleas
antly without causing too much excite
ment must be beneficial. He therefore
sent about twenty of his patients under
the charge of trained nurses, and each
supplied with a moderate amount OF
money, to the department stores. The
entire party was so dressed and conducted
that no intimation was given of it's real
nature, and this was not suspected by
the other shoppers, the unfortunate WON.
en- deporting themselves in the most con-
ventional and natural way possible.
Luncheon was eaten at the restaurant,
which all enjoyed, and it was with re-
%luctance, but no attempt at resistance,
that they returned to their quarters in
the asylum.

Young Millionaire Who Shot STAN

Charge of Murder.
SCENE IN NEW YORK COURT.
Evelyn Will Repeat Her Story, but
"Unwritten Law" Will Not Be
Relied On.

The second trial Of Harry Kendall
Thaw, the young Pittsburg swell and
s%pendthrift, for the murder of Stan
ford White, the New York architect
ana man about town, is again under
way. 1t was tedious work securing a
jury. The first trial was reported so
completely and was so widely read in
all its sensational and na%useating de-
tails that an attempt to secure twelve
men who had not read of the case and
formed more or less of an opinion was
hopeless. The most acceptable jurors
then, were those who could swear that
despite reading an opinion they could
Judge Thaw's guilt or innocence purely
on the evidence submitted to them.
AS to the actual commission of the
deed, Of course, there is no question.
The defense is not to combat that pal
pable fact. Neither is it relying, as
Delmas did in the first trial, on the
unwritten law" Martin w. Littleton,

Thaw upun lie stand and she will tell
her story all over agaiu. This is neces-
sary III order to demonstrate that there
was reason for Thaw's attack of brain
storm or insanity, but tue young wife
will not be handled as tenderly by the
prosecution in cross-queStioning as she
was before. Jerome has had one of
his assistants follow out the European
girl took before marriage and will be
able to catch UP the witness at every
misstatement as to that trip. ~
Evelyn has so far been in daily at

Thaw is in good health. Regular

To Explore south America.

A party of Boston scientists, under the
direction of George Melville Boynton, has
organized an expedition to explore the
wilds of South America. A Gloucester
fishing vessel has been bought and will
be christened the Discovery. There will
be about thirty-fve men in all and the
trip is expected to last five years. Opera
tons will be confined chiefly to the unex-
plored regions south of the Amazon river,
but the expedition will eventually follow
the Amazon to its source and cross the
Andes, coming out at Punta Parine, Peru.
In the party will be botanists, minerolos-
