Allen H. Hamiter of Lewisville, speaker of the Arkansas House of Rep resentatives, is now acting governor of Arkansas, taking the place of Act ing Governor X. o. Pindall, who left Little Rock Friday night for Washing ton, D. C., to attend two national con ferences, to be held there during the week MT. Hamiter was sworn in early Saturday morning by Justice Battle of the State Supreme Court, and assumed the duties of governor shortly afterward.
 After being sworn in, Speaker Ham iter went alone to the governors of flee, where he found the door locked, Adjutant General Paul Little, son of Governor John s. Little, and private having stepped out of the office for a few minutes. Mr. Hamiter, upon find ing the office closed, returned to a party of friends in the Supreme Court Chamber and the entire party then re- turned to the office with the intention 1t is claimed, of breaking in the door of the governors office, if the latter was still closed.
 Secretary Little had returned in the meantime, however, and welcomed the delegation. Without demonstration, Mr Hamiter and friends entered the office at Mr Little's invitation, and MT. Hamiter informally announced to MT. Little that he had come to act as governor during the absence of Acting Governor Pindall
 He immediately assumed control without opposition on the part Of any one. His first official act was to change the date of 9 negro's execu- tion, set by Governor Pindall He spent the entire day receiving scores of friends in the executive office and transacted practically no business.
 He has done nothing to damage the Pindall interests or organization, and, according to statements Saturday by him, it is not his intention to attempt to wreck or damage that organization

MANY FREAK
SECRET ORDERS
The Latest is the "sphen-
apogones," or Pointed
Beard Society.

Pointed boards only need apply"
This is the law of the latest Paris
ian society of freaks-the 'Spheno-
pogones,'' as they call themselves. ac-
cording TO the Manchester, (Eng,)
Chronicle
Its members, who are compelled by
the rules OF the society to wear point
ed boards and mustaches, have band
ed themselves together for the avowed
purpose of promoting perennial joyi-
ality.
1t is a secret society. It's delibera-
tons are secret, its dinners are secret.
its happy evenings are secret, and the
names OF its members can be seen
only in the society's secret books.
The Sphenapogones comprise lead
ing political, literary men and artists
living in various parts of France.
Each member must be elected unani-
mously and must. under pain of severe
penalties, promise to wear beard
which tapers symmetrically to a point
and a mUstache also pointed at each
end.
Once a month the members dine to-
gether The cafe and place of meet
ing are arranged by the 'gonfalonier"
as the treasurer is called, and the pro-
ceedings are kept strictly private, no
one being admitted except enrolled
members.
Encouraging Literature.
If any member has between one din
ner and another distinguished himself
by writing a successful play or a
book, or by painting a picture Of ex-
eeptional merit. or by doing anything
to earn public praise, he is greeted
with uproarious applause.
After dinner the possessors of the
/ pointed boards give themselves up to
tconviviality il accordance with the
terms OF their secret charter.
England, too. can boast of her freak
societies. There is, for instance, the
Appendicitis Society, fashionable and
select circle. the members OF which
must give proof that they have under
gone an operation for appendicitis.
The Society for Putting Woman in
Her Proper Place was formed in Lon
don a few months ago, with the OBJ
ject of combating the movement for
woman suffrage.
There is also a society of bald heads
and two or three societies of bachel-
ors, and few run in the interest of
old maids.
In Germany not long ago was formed
Society for the Encouragement of
Adipose Tissue. an organization which
stoutly defended the cause of fat men.
