brown curtain of haze and smoke which
Uverhung the entrance to New York
harbor the great white hull of the battle
ship Alabama crept cautiously into port
and dropped anchor off Tompkinsville
completing Il voyage around the world
in 800 days. More than $1,000 miles OF
all the seas of all the world lay behind
her.
Except in one particular the Ala
bama finished her long swing around
the great circle as lit for Il fight as when
she sailed from Hampton Roads on
Dec III last. as one of the great feet
which went forth on mission of peace
to show the nations of the world that
the United States still had lighting
arm at sea. Seven years of steamine
has put the boilers of the great ship
to a severe test and repairs are neces-
sary. In few days the Alabama will.
go to the navy yard at Brooklyn to I'M
dergo an overhauling which will again
put her in the best of trim.
Meanwhile her companion. the bat
tleship Maine. which accompanied the
Alabama from the Pacific coast on the
path-finding voyage around the world
rests in the harbOr of Portsmouth. y. III d,
where she arrived early yesterday. the
two ships having separated at sea.
The Maine is anchored alongside the

main in good fighting trim.
/ According to pamphlet published
on board during the voyage. the Maine
steamed an actual distance of ;3.292
miles. She burned 22,000 tons OF coal.

Eureka Springs Daily Times
 Echo Items.

Herman Seidel writes his fam fly from Union City, Tenn, of the excitement which still pre- vails there because of the assas- sination of Hon. Quentin Rankin. The grand jury is now in session there and seventy five prisoners are awaiting trial.
 Mrs. R. H. Routzong and baby daughter, Louise, went to Green Forest on the noon train to visit the formers mother. Today is little Louise's first birthday an niversary, and an urgent request came from the family there that she be brought to Green Forest to celebrate the day.
 We note from the Little Rock papers that the Eureka Springs delegates to the I. O. o. F. Grand Lodge and Rebekah Assembly are prominent in the work. Mrs. Wadsworth- Baker is on the Fi- nance Committee; and Mrs. Ju. lia Potter and Mrs. Emma Pen dergrass on the Credentials Com mittee. The meeting this year exceeds any ever held in the state in point of numbers.
 Garry Nations trip out of Eu- reka Springs was more exciting than anything connected with her stay here. Travellers between Seligman and Eureka Springs who have had occasion to use the waiting room at the first named town know that tobacco smoke is no rare thing therein, and those who know Mrs. Nation know she would rot pass such q thing by unnoticed. Her brusque way of objecting brought forth sharp retorts from the offenders, whereupon one gentleman in the crowd arose and standing by Carry's side proceeded to defend her stand. ''One word brought on another" and for time indi- cations of 8 regular knock down were in evidence, but finally peace was resto red, and Mrs. Nations rebuke was the only smoke left of the battle.
