the bride and, to my utter astonish-
ment, stopped the carriage with a
vigorous hand. Then he gave utter

meaningless to me.
''The presbytery has lost nothing of
Ats charm, nor the garden its bright
ness"
The words had hardly left the lips
of Rouletabille than l saw Robert
Darzac quail. Pale as he was, he be-

the young man in terror, and he i'm
mediately descended from the vehicle

"A "marquise" as it Is called. Roule-
tabille, who had resigned the horse and
the cab to the care of servant, never
took his eyes off NJ. Darzac. fol
lowed his look and perceived that it
was directed solely toward the gloved
hands of the Sorbonne professor.
When we were in tiny sitting room
fitted with old furniture NJ. Darzac
turned to Rouletabille and said sharp
ly:
What do you wantY
The reporter answered in an equally
sharp tone:
''To shake you by the hand"
Darzac shrank back.
"What does that mean2"
Evidently he understood, what / also

him Of the abominable attempt on the
life of Mile. StangersOn. The impress

4 YEAR OF LOCAL PROHIBITION

The Chattanooga Star has to say 10 the following what Colum- bia. Tennessee, experiences as a result of no saloons.
 Jackson, Tenn, April l. GA press dispatch)-The largest city in Tennessee that has had prohi- ton for any length of time is Columbia, which closed it's first anniversary as a dry town on April 1. The court records show that during the year ending April l, 1908, the number of ar rests were less than one-half the number for the previous year. For the year ending April l, 1907, there were $50 arrests in the city. Of this number 240 were charged with drunkenness and other crimes growing out of the saloon. For the year just ended the num- Der of arrests were 32l, with seventy-six for drunkenness, sell ing liquor, and kindred otfenses.
 This shows a reduction of about 67 per cent. The average arrests for drunkenness in Columbia dur ing the saloon days were twenty per month. Since the saloons closed the average has been six Der month.

TEN THOUSAND @ 2.
 ARE DROWNED
The Greatest Disaster Ever Known in China. Caused
 By Tidal Wave.

Seattle, Wash, May 13. News of one of the greatest disasters China has ever known, q sudden tidal wave bore in the Yanktse- Kiang which involved the loss of nearly 10. 900 persons at Hagkow, was brought by the steamer Titan, which arrived last night. The bore was tWenty-siX feet in height, and flooded without warning the river, over which there were thousands of junks, sampans and small boats, and wrecking some large river steam CTS.
 Some 5000 Chinese were sleep ing in sampans and small crafts and mat sheds and huts by the riverside at HangoW, and they were enveloped by the great wave, which swept the broken junks, splintered sampans and a heterogeneous mass of debris with swarms of drowned Chimes mixed with the wreck.
 The scenes for many days after the disaster were horrible, the river banks being streWn with dead and the debris of wrecked craft for many miles.

SAYS PEACHES
 NOT INJURED
DeQueen Man Declares That There Will Be a Good
 Yield of Elbertas.

The inclement weather has not injured the peach crop to any great extent in the vicinity of DeQueen," said F. K. Riser of DeQueen. "The quality of the famous Arkansas Elbertas will be better than for many years and will command a price as high as the California fruit.
 Mir. Riser is one of the most prominent and success ul peach growers in Arkansas, and his opinion will be received by every fruit man as authentic. Unlike many of the Arkansas peach raisers the DeQueen man is not depending on the canneries and the northern markets to buy the output of his extensive orchard, but he cans his own fruit and places it on the market in the ready-for-use form. He declares that this is a more profitable method; that a better market price is commanded, and that the entire output of the orchards can be used in this way, while by selling the peach as it comes frsm the tree much loss from over ripening is prevented.

MUCH ATTENTION TO HAMPER AFFAIR,

The Eastesn press has devoted much attention to the Hamiter- Pindall affair, which has created a seven-day wonder. The Times had a story on the first page with a cut of Pindall, and practically every paper gave attention to the affair. The Arkansas delegation in Congress continues to debate the matter with cen interest, refraihing from public express ions, however.

TEN DAYS IS ENOUGH.

Acting Governor Hamiter says that ten days is enough time for the Legislature to meet and transact the business for which it has been called.
 If there must be an extra ses- sion, make 1t short, business-like, and free from rancor that now looms upon the horizon.
 A bill may be passed the first week, if politics be kept out of it, appropriating the money fol the completion of the State Cap itol, and discharging the present contractors, if that be thought necessary, the work to be con- tinued under the direction of the Capitol Commission, with a com petent superintendent in charge
 The details of this arrangement are all that offer any ground for argument or difference of opin- ion, and that is plain business proposition if looked at rightly.
 The revi ion of the revenue laws requiring monthly settle ments by the collectors of the State, and the appropriation of the money for the school and pension funds, need not require
 ny great amount of discussion for the duty of the lawmakers is clear on these subjects.
 Always providing that an ex- tra session will be held at all.
 There is no reason for pre- longing the session. and the con- servatiVe, level-headed members who certainly form the majority, should see that 1t is not made the vehicle for selfish political purposes. - Ark. Democrat
