HISTORY OF COSTUMES
NEW FRENCH SOCIETY.
Study To Be Made of Wearing
Apparel an All Periods.

good many people besides those interested
merely in dress are watching the growth Of the
Society Of the History of Costume and looking for
ward TO the development Of its plans. This is a
Paris society and concerned in its formation were
such men FRANCOIS Caruot. EdOuard Detaille,
Maurice Maindron and Maurice LeIoir. II has been
said that complete collection OF any class OF OBJ
iects illustrates the history OF civilization A
museum OF costumes, such as the new society con-
templates getting together, ought 10 be a volume
worth reading the life OF the PAST.
Strictly speaking, this is not society; il
dates from the beginning of last year. But it
until last May that the thing was put
into working shape. In that month a great general
meeting was held. The scheme at first somewhat
impractical, was reorganized, and definite plans
were formed. The plans are many. They in
clude the creation and organization OF history of
costume. saddlery and coach work and the estab-
ushment Of library along these lines. Work
rooms viii be furnished and artists and workers
engaged who will make a study OF old costumes
and construct copies Of them from old plates, de-
scriptions in contemporary books or specimens stll
In existence. These will be preserved in the mu-
seum, together with all the genuine old costumes
which the society obtain. Also, costumes OF
the present day will he set aside annually that
posterity may see how fearfuIiy and wonderfully its
ancestors dressed.
There are 10 be lectures on the costumes OF the
past by learned men. and bulletins on the same
subject Will be issued One is Just out. II con-
tains any number OF interesting things. among
them the report Of lecture by Maurice AIaindron
on the history Of costume, and Illustrations Of old
costumes and c0Iored plates, one gorgeous plate
| reprOduces a pink Louis XIV dress from the col
lection Of NJ. J. DouCet. Bulletin la Societe de
Historic du Costume is the imposing title OF this
publication.

FOR COUNTY EXHIBITS
AT THE STATE FAIR
Prizes to be Given Counties Max
ing the Best Showing
Special Effort Being Made to Gather
Better Display of States Re-
sources For State Fair

Special prizes will be included in
the State Fair premium list this year
for the counties of Arkansas making
the most creditable showing at the
State Fair and Industrial Exposition
of Arkansas, which will take place the
week of October Il to IL at Hot
Springs.
Special effort is being made by the
fair association to have organized in
each county State Fair Committee or
Auxiliary Board, the appointment and
organization of which is left entirely
to the respective counties. This is a.
State Fair in every sense of the term
and every effort is being made to make
the interest statewide and the exhibits
representative in very broad way of
the vast and varied resources of our.
glorious state.
1t matters not whether a county ex-
hibits livestock, farm or forestry pro-
ducts, ores, art works or what not.
The county from which the citizens
send the most premium winners will
receive prizes with which to help de-
fray the expense of assembling ex-
hibits to the state fair next year.
The basis of award will be four
point for each first prize and two points
for each second. No county will be
eligible that has not received at least,
seventy-fve points and has not or
ganized a State Fair Board or Com
mite before the opening of the state
committee with the secretary of the
State Fair Association.

CAPT. JOYCE ExONERATED
Master of the Inflated Miriam Not
Responsible For Wreck

Capt. w. A. Joyce of Newport,
owner and master of the Inflated
steamer Miriam, sunk near the mouth
of the st. Francis river April 26th in
hurricane, has been exonerated of
blame by Capts. Waltz and Hodge,
government inspectors. Fourteen peo-
pie lost their lives in the wrecking of
the steamer.
Charges were made that Capt. Joyce
was intoxicated at the time the storm
struck his boat, that he was careless
in the care of his boat and failed to
heed warnings of the approaching
danger.
None of these charges were proven
but on the other hand it was proven
that Capt. Joyce was aware of the
danger and did all in his power to
steer the vessel to shore

WOMEN AND OVERALLS

Attorney General Kirby recently re-
ceived letter from woman asking
if there was any law in Arkansas to
prohibit woman wearing overalls.
says the Arkansas Democrat. He sent
the following reply.
Dear Madam: Yours of the 23rd
inst. is received. There is no statute
in the state of Arkansas prohibiting a
woman from wearing "overalls" when
she does not disguise as a man. It
may be that the wearing of them by
women is at some times desirable,
since there is a time for all things, y
but personally and individually, I
hope it will not become a general pre-
yailing style.
Yours very cordially

THE REsouRcEFUL SOUTH

r. H. Edmonds. editor of the Manu-

iron ore the South has more than all
known ore supply of the rest of the
country, and that in this it has the
foundation for duplicating ali the iron
and steel industry Oh the United States.
Here is potential wealth inconceiva-
BILE in amount, potential wealth that is
more and more being made actual
wealth.
The south's cotton will always be a
great gold mine. Its lumber will last
for many years, and there are other
resources too numerous to mention.
The south is the land of opportunity.

HoRsE-sPoRT TO GoAT-sPoRT

No real lover of a horse should
blame Governor Hughes for his ac-
ton in approving the anti-betting bill
which was SO nearly passed by the
New York legislators. No one is to
blame for the state of affairs which
made the sport of the gods a byword
for cheap gambling and all manner of
petty rottenness but the gamblers
themselves. Just as in the case of the
whiskey men, who now behold their
doped and nefarious calling melting
away before the Indignation of long
suffering and patient public, so do the
gamblers on horse races who have
turned a glorious and splendid sport
into gathering of Fleecers of the
Youth, see their business swept away.

by us with such unwearying kindness
during the illness and death our be-

The recent revision of the postal
regulations in regard to newspa pers is
very strict on both newspapers and
subscriber. A newspaper publisher
recently brought suit against 43 de-
linquent subscribers who refused to
pay their subscription, and obtained
judgment in each case. OF this, %
made affidavit that they owned no
more that the law allowed, thus pre-
venting attachment. Then under the
decision of the supreme court they
were arrested for petit larceny and
bound over in the sum of $500 each.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION NEXT WEEK
Contest Over Election of Big Four
Expected to be Warm
Possible, Also, That Spirited Struggle
May Result Over Statewide
Prohibition Question

The Democratic State Convention
will assemble in Little Rock next Tues
day, June 2.
The matters of chief interest to be
death with by the convention are the
election of the big Four delegates
at-large to the national convention AT
Denver and the question of statewide
prohibition.
The intensity of the fight in the con-
vention over election of delegates at
large depends entirely on the course
to be pursued by United Slater Senator
JEFF Davis. Acting Governor X. O.
Pindall has already announced in an
other letter that he will be a candidate
for delegate-at-large from Arkansas
against United States Senator Davis,
thus in his communication expressing
a desire to keep Davis from being
sent to the national convention, and
also desire to have the issue narrow
ed down to point where the conven-
tion must chose between Senator Davis
and himself.
Until the present time Senator Davis
has kept num- on the subject, as
have his friends, and nothing is known
as to what line of action the Davis
followers will take on the floor of the
convention. 1t is generally believed,
however, that the Davis forces will
enter the1ists against Governor Pin
dali and attempt to send the senator
to Denver.
Heretofore both United States sena-
tors have been sent as delegates-at-
large from Arkansas the the national
convention.
Friends of Judge Frank Milwee, who
managed the campaign of George W.
Donaghey, have started a Milwee
boom for the Office of chairman of the
State Central Democratic Committee,
and it is understood that Mr.. Milwee
will be candidate.
Rumors have it that Congressman
Joe Robinson will be slated as cam
convention. Friends of Congressman
Robinson are booming his name in
connection with that position. As far
as can be learned no one else has
been mentioned as probable opposing
candidates to either Mr.. Robinson or
Mr.. Milwee.
1t is said that warm fight may
develop on the floor of the convention
over the question of whether the party
should declare for statewide prohibi-
ton or include any prohibition plank
in its platform. 1t is rumored that
Anti-Saloon League members will
make an attempt to have such plank
inserted in the platform, and opposi-
ton is anticipated, judging from state
ments made several weeks ago by
prominent Democratic politicians.
