Willard Memorial Meeting.

Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in the Methodist church., we will observe the day of all days to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Nine years ago the earth was shadowed in darkness by the going away of the soul of Frances E. Willard. Heaven was made brighter by her going and hearts that had been waiting for her coming were made lighter. Her last words were: How beautiful it is to be with God!" She had been with Him in the earth life through an unfaltering faith. To be with Him unfettered by any sordid tie was joy unspeakable.
 Let everybody come out to the meeting, for she certainly gave her life to bless humanity. Never was any person so mourned as she, and it is pathetic to think of thousands standing for hours in a beating snow storm just to get a last glimpse of the precious form as it lay in state in Willard Hall, Chicago, that colo February day.

ENDED IN CHILDISH TRAGEDY.
Fate of Two Pickaninnies Who Went
 on a Cruise.

Afoat on the bounding wave-in a washtub-two pickaninnies went cruis- ing Thursday, says the Houston Chronicle. They sailed until they were rescued, and with that event came a rainwater bath. White men pulled them to the shore to leave them gur. gling in the arms of two black man. mics.
 There were no signals of distress fy- ing as the two babies in tub foated swiftly down White Oak bayou. The current was running like q mill race, but the tub was properly balanced for the ride
 As 1t emerged from the jungle into the ship channel the apparition in- spired immediate action. Straightway into the brimming tide plunged man after man. They swan strongly for the tub and-tipped it over Into the turgid stream fell pair to draw to.
 With difficulty they were fished from the water, screaming lustily for their ship" continuing like a derelict on down the stream.
 Meanwhile two buxom colored wom- en, mothers of the black babies, had appeared. Gathering the drenched and crying pickaninnes in their arms they marched away to their cabins.
 The cruise started in play about the water edge and ended in a woodshed, when, with wet clothes stretched tight, every spat stung fiercely and walls sounded over the inundated bayou flats.

An Arkansas Music Festival

Every citizen of Arkansas is interested in the efforts which are under way preparing for one of the grandest musical feasts this country has ever known, an occasion which will draw to our Capital City the attention of the world and bring together such a convocation of lovers of music as has never before been known west of the Mississ. 9pi river.
 May 18th, 10th, and 2Oth are the dates which have been de- cided on for giving the treat to the public. There will be three night and two matinee perform ances and at least two of them will include the famous war pie. ture America" Itis also under stood that one of the entertain ments will be known as Italian. "
 The movement for this great enterprise was put on foot by the combined efforts of the business and industrial organization of Little Rock, and after being well launched was put in charge of the Little Rock Music Festival Society, an organization compos- ed of practical business men and and enthusiastic lovers of music which was formed for the pur- pose of taking the matter in hand and pushing it to a success ful issue.
 Preliminaries are under way looking to the arrangements for transportation which will com
