The Anti.SalOOn League.

Rev. c. W. Eichelberger, D.D., state campaigner for the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League left yesterday for Little Rock, and thence for another part of the state to continue his work of organizing for the summers cam paign. While here yesterday he said:
 ''St. Francis county is pretty well organized. There are strong Leagues at Forrest City, Palestine, New Cas- tie, Madison and Widener. The off, cers are among the very best and most progressive citizens in each place, and these Leagues aided by the pastors will organize at other points in the county, which did not have time to visit.
 There are also some colored Leagues sufficiently organized to enable them, aided by white people, to line up hun dreds of colored voters for the Sep- tember election.
 These Leagues will do two things: l CD Work for prohibition at the next election. (2) See that the votes are not stolen by whiskey advocates. The State League will see that criminal prosecution will speedily follow where attempts may be made to steal the prohibition vote in this state next September. We are preparing for that, and are basing our work upon experience in other states. 1 have en- joyed my work here very much, and am very fond of the people in St. Francis county. Later in the season we expect to send another worker to the county toconduct the prohibition rallies and intensity the work, and to confer with the leaders in regard to guarding the polls at election. There are now upwards of TOO members of the League in this county and the number is increasing fast. l will be glad if you will make these statements for me-

Succeeds With Diversified Farming,

There are many men in the cotton country who succeed in raising a va riety of crops and make money with them but they are not yet numerous enough to have had serious effect on the type of farming in the cotton re- zion. ~
 One such successful diyersifier i, Mir. c. M. Fleming, of Saline county. Arkansas. In 1895 he was slOo0 in debt, and had no money, team or i'm plements and not foot of land. With this handicap he bought sandy farm of 96 acres in Saline county. and went still farther in debt for team. implements and supplies. In five years time he has paid out and he did 1t following a system of diversified farming. At the present time MT. Fleming has sixty-fve acres in culti- vation, which is apportioned as fol- lows:
 Twelve acres corn, ten acres colt on. twenty-five acres peas, followed by oats and both cut for hay, ten acres in peas, part broadcast and part in drills not followed by oats; two acres canta- ioupes, two acres watermelops. two acres Irish potatoes, two acres sweet 1 potatoes.
 A fundamental feature of MT. fleming's farming is to raise all his hay, corn and meat, and he usually has sloO worth of surplus hay to sell. His pea hay averages one ton per acre and the oats little less. Peas are plant ed between corn rows at the last cul- tiyation and hogged down. Land is mostly sandy, rolling or hilly, not very fertile, and washes easily, but this is held in check by hay raising and deep blowing.
 MT. Fleming believes in deep and early blowing, breaking flat, but prac- tices shallow cultivation. He saves and uses all manures and buys some commercial fertilizers He has greatly improved his farm since paying for it. He reads agricultural papers and bull l letins and practices the scientific care Of soils and production of crops. He also works-not merely few months but all the year-and plans his crops with a view of distributing his labor over the entire year.

DECREASE In
CHARTER FEES

Members Of the state Commission on
Revenue and Taxation had a meeting
this morning at the rooms Of the Street
and Sewer Board and discussed the
subjects Of taxation for the State.
Among other sources Of revenue talked
of was the law imposing a State tax
on manufacturers
No desire was expressed to introduce
radical changes in this law, but some
of the members of the commission
thought the present law could be clari
fled and made specific in its intentions
and thus bring much more revenue into
the state treasury
During the general discussion it de-
veloped that there is a unanimity of
feeling among the commissioners tho,
sooner or later there will be a great
falling off in the fees and franchise
tax from companies chartered at Dover
under the general Incorporation law. It
WITS intimated that during the presen'
fiscal year there may be a trem en-
dous decrease in the revenues from this
source.
Because Of this the commissioners
wish to devise if possible a substan-
tial basis of taxation that will bring
into the safe treasury annually ample
revenue to meet the States expenses
and at the some time enable the setting
aside of sum for a State sinking
fun out of which to redeemed bonds
as they become due.

FATHER BURKE
TALKS ON MASS
Impressive Ceremonies at the
Cathedral Attended by
Large Crowds
TENEBRAE ENDS TONIGHT

The Tenebrae services at the Cath
edral last night were we'll attended.
The mathis, lauds and antiphons were
chanted by the Salesianum Fathers.
Vicar General Lyons and Bishop Mon
aghan. The sermon was preached by
the Rev. Father Burke of the Faulists.
Father Burke is one or the best and
most forcible speakers that has ever
been heard in the Cathedral. His de-
livery and flow of language is excel =.
lent. Last night he took his text from
the prophet Zacheus, chapter 6, verse
9, what Shall Offer to the Lord That
is Worthy He said that this ques-
ton of the prophet is as natural to
man as religion itself It's a question
that all men have asked, but the effort
to answer IL has been vain. Cain Of
fered the first of his field; Abel his
frstlings of his flock; the Greeks ana
the Romans their gods of stone and
wood. But still the question remained
unanswered. What shall we offer 20
God that is worthy2 The reply is
given by Jesus Christ. Centuries age
Christ gave unto man a gift worthy
to be placed before God Himself
the sacrifice of the mass This is the
reply to the question. What is it but
the highest act of religion. 1t is tho
same as Calvary. and to know it's value
we must know what took place on Cal
vary. Christ had prepared Himself
for the giant task of suffering. Doe
He not say. with desire / have de-
sired to eat this pasch with your
! There surrounded by His Apostles, be
fore the great chorus Of His angels
IN heaven, Jesus, in that upper room on
that most eventual occasion, spoke
these words. Take ye and eat, for
this is my body" again, take ye and
drink for this Is my blood; do this IL
commemoration of me-"
Father Burke then gave a logical
reason Of the Institution of the mass
He said that Il was not a repetition
Of the scene of Calvary, but a contin-
uation of that sacrifice. The speaker
declared that IL is a mistake for anv-
oRe to say that Christ was a character
of years long gone and that He avaiis
nothing among men today. Christ
/ lives as much today as he lived centur-
/ les ago; He teaches the same lesson
to men as He taught centuries ago.
and in order that the life that springs
! from the cross can enter into our lives
/ it must be individually offered and in
ldividually accepted. This Is the mean
/ ing of the mass. The speaker then
explained how Christ figures in the
Sacraments. dwelling especially on the
/ Sacrament OF Holy orders. or the
priesthood, because the priesthood is
founded on Christ. Father Burke con-
cluded by exhorting the people to at
tend mass.
The Tenebrae services will conclude
this evening. when the mathis and
lauds for Holy Saturday will be chant
ed. Father Burke will preach.
