THE ELMwooD GALLERY

Those who bray"d the wiutry r,c-
ming to take advantage Of the pp-
dortmity of "Vi,it t. Elmwood
Gallery last Monday were we'll re-
paid This was one Of the protticst
and most Interesting entertainment
among the many good one, over
given at the Seminary.
The program consisted OF twelve
sections. The larger part Of the
living pictures were shown in groups
Of three. In all thirty-two pictures
were shown, reproductions of the
works Of prominent painters and
sCulptOrs, rrprcs"~cuting Germany,
France, England America and prints
from Japan. Tn" poses assumed by
those who represented these pie
ture were true to the originals, and
/ the lighting effects were such as
to constitute an almost complete
/ Illusion that the audience was look
/ ing upon the painting itself rather
than representation OF the same.
In addition to the pictures there
were several vocal solos, readings
and choruscs.
/ Miss Bertha Mitchell rccited EN-
, lily Lou and Miss Esther Gale re-
cited "L'Envoi" and "First Day mt
School Each Of these young la
dies was the recipient Of hearty
applause for their very credtable
work.
! Miss Emma Guessing sung the
Mexican National Air, LA Colon
drina." She was dressed to con
form to the song and won the favor
of her audience.
All are especially interested in the
work Of the little ones The Pri-
mary Department gave Lullaby,
'"rhe Sand Man" which was very
pretty indeed. Grouped upon the
stage and singing their evening
song, the Sand Man, clcverly i'm

clear and true tone for one SO young
Master Harry then sung his little
solo.
Mrs. f.. G. BarrOll. dressed rs Il
shepherdess ard carrying shep-
herdcss' crook decorated with flow
crs, rendered "Doris," by Nevin.
AS usual she was greeted with
hearty applause.
The last pictures shown were the
Missouri Girls of All Times" be-
ginning with an Indian Princess OF
100 and closing with the 1910 girl.
The closing chorus and tableau
was Il CHORUS of the Nations" AS
the chorus rendered this song, diff
ferent boys assembled in the frame
for large pictures bearing the flags
of the nations, the last to he flung
to 1.-THE air being that of the United
States. 1t was n fitting aud effect
i've close to an interesting and pleas

throughout was an enjoyable one

L.C. PERRY TO
 MANAGE FAIR

L. c. Perry, president of the Educational Lyceum Bureau of this city, was given the position of manager of the Faulkner county fair, by the board of directors of the Fair Association, at a meeting held last night. The members of the board believe that in Prof. Perry they have a man we'll quail fled for the position, and one who will devote much lime and atten- tion to perfecting the details for a successful fair.
 The board also decided upon a site for the fair grounds, entering into five-year lease with H. B. Ingram and Judge Sam Frauenthal for the 40 acre tract in the eastern part of the city known as the Sryg- ley addition. Plans were ordered drawn for the fair buildings and it is the purpose of the directors to begin their construction within short time.

SUICIDE TRICK DIDN'T WORK
Tom Davis Attempts to Fool
 Jailer.
Who Found Him Dangling at uhe End of a Strap, but was Supported by Eel
 low Prisoner

Van Buren, March 25.-When- ever Jailer Levy cuts down pseudo suicides he reaches in from the outside, through the bars and gent ly snips the rope, strap or suspen der. This commendabla habit occasionally saves him from much personal discomfort, such as at tends, invariably, raps on the head with all . iron cuspidor and pre- vents prisoners walking over his prostrate form to freedom. At least that's the way he did when Tom Davis decided, apparently, to quit Van Buren by the suicide route.
 But Jailer Levy is by instinct a cautious man, having been born that way. When he found Davis dangling at the end of strap and his cell mate Brennan wildly call ing for assistance and holding Da- vis' weight carefully from the sup port of the strap, Levy didn't rush pell- -mell into the "cage," leaving the door open and likewise an ave- nue of escape. Instead he stopped to ponder moment and incident ally to cut a"chew". He reflected that it was mighty strange that Davis should launch himself into eternity just as the jailer's key was heard in the door and that his cell mate should exert himself to the extent of holding up POO pounds for two minutes if all that was to be gained was Davis life. Now Brennan would surely have called for help at an earlier stage in the game if
 But Levy just reached through the bars and cut the strap. Then Davis and Brennan looked at each other foolishly and retired to their hunks to think 1t over.

CHAS. STINNETT
 IS HANGED

Little Rock, March 25.-Special. Messages from Harrison yester- day afternoon late told of the ex- ecution there of Charles Stinnett for criminally assaulting Miss Emma Lovett, an aged woman of Boone county. The mulatto died without making a statement. The execution was set for noon, but someone gave the negro liquor and Sheriff Keefe would not permit the hanging to take place until the negro had come from under its in- huence. Only few people wit messed the execution, which took place without hitch, the negro S neck being broken by the fall. Stinnett committed his crime Jan uary I6 and was convicted and sentenced to hang last month, but respite of 30 days was granted by Governor Donaghey in order that additional testimony might be pre- sented to him. The testimony came in the form of a petition, freely signed by the people of the county who did not want the stigma of legal execution upon the county, asking for commuta- ton, but Governor Donaghey re- fused to grant this. Stinnett is all legged to have made a confession in the jail to the jailer. The remains were taken by the mother who re- gently went to Harrison from Muskogee to circulate the petition for communication.
