arhou piess on Point Of Fox"

Thou Diest on Point OF FoS-
Fox blades were celebrated all
through the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries for their excellent temper.
and mention of them is frequent In
English drama. This is their history:
There was a certain Julian del Rel.
believed to be n Morisco. who set up a
forge at Toledo In the early part OF
the sixteenth century and became IA
nous for the excellence OF his sword
blades, which were regarded as the
best OF Toledo. That city had for many
ages previous been renowned for
swordmaking. It being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art. as they
Jill so many good things. from the
east.
Julian del Refs mark was a little
dog, which came to be taken for fox.
and so the fox blade" or simply fox
for any good sword. See Henry w."
act 4. scene 4. Thou diest on point Of
fox" The brand came to be initiated
in other places. and there nre Solingen
blades OF comparatively modern manu-
facture which still bear the little dog

the year when this vegetable matter was decaying and that unless it was removed and burned it would be re- suonsibIe for many cases of typhoid fova, and other cases of sickness. A -,notion carried to instruct the chief If no1ice to enforce the ordinance and rid the city of these uuisances and health destr0Eers.
 There should be no necessity pr the council issuing orders at every meeting to city officials to enforce the laws They ought to enforce them witbonr the continual complaining of the aldermen. Mayor Toney issued a "c1ean up' proclamation some weeks ago and a copy of the ordinance, re- onirina all property owners to clean their lots and yards, was distributed broadcast over the city. The penalty for failure to comply with the ordi- nance was also male known at that time. It was then the duty of the city sanitarian to report the violators of the law to the chief of police, who should in turn have brought the of lenders before Police Judge Stewart There has been a lack of law enforce ment in this city for many months, due principally to the negligence and carelessness of the city authorities whose duty 1t is 10 see that the laws are compiled with.
 The healt hordinances are of greater import to this community than all the other laws on the statute at this time and the new cihef of police, E. C. Stanley, can begin his work in the right direction if he looks after this one particular feature of his many dn ties.

NEW PACKETS
 ARE MAKING GOOD
Little Rock Boats Doing Nice Business Regular Weekly Trip Up and Down the Arkansas-Prospects for Big Fall Trade Good.

Little Rock, Aug. Specially According to Asa R. Bragg, general manager of the Little Rock Packet Company, the patronage given the ,WO packets, Grand and Rapids, has been far in excess of the anticipations of the stockholders and the resumption of river navigation can be said to be thing of permancnce. oth boats are making reSula rtrips. the Grand up stream to Darlanelle, and the Rapids to Memphis and return. Both boats left the local wharf yesterday after noon, loaded heavily with frie9ht and will come back the same way. They make trips once week and the Grand is busy on off days handling the excur- sion trade. The packet company has already made contracts with the plan ters along the river, as well as the gins, for handling all the cotton which can be hauled to market by water. The boats will also handle the cotton seed from these plantations, and Gen eral Manager Bragg is of the opinion the boats will be running night and day from the time the cotton season opens until it's closes.

CLAIM VERDICT
 NOT JUSTIFIED
Persons Who Have Expressed Opinion Since Acquittal of Earl Dill Say for Most Part That Jury Was in No Way Justified in Returning the Verdict.

Little Rock, Aug. 6-Although day ted of any connection with an assault on Miss Ray Burkhalter, public senti- ment has in no manner been allayed against the verdict of the jury. Re- porters on the Democrat have been stopped on the street and taken to task for the statement in the paper that the jury itself has not been cen- sured. Persons who express them selves at all against the Jury's verdict do not hetitate to say they do censure the jury for the verdict.
 Feeling in the city is running high, and many have been heard to express the opinion that there will not be an- other trial in the county of white person accused of similar crime, particularly if that person should be identified by the one assaulted.
 The strong language of condemna- tion of the verdict has not been con- fined to the streets. It has been heard nthe Hobbies of the hotels, the corridors of the main public buildings, on street cars and in the residence districts of the city. Some persons have been heard to express themselves i as being satisfied that jury was jus tified in reaching the verdict of &C., quittal Of expressed opinions, how ever, the fact is that main opinion is the jury was not justified in it's yer dict.

THE DIFFERENCE.

What is the difference between high grade and low grade baking powders?
 All baking powders are white and are sold in round cans with bright la bels. The contents look much the same, but in fact they are very differ ent
 High grade baking powders are made of pure cream of tartar derived from grapes. They are healthful and economical to use.
 Low grade baking powders are made of alum. an astringent mineral acid.
 Before the pure food law only a chemist could tell by analysis one from the other.
 But now baking powders have the ingredients printed on the back of the label. By reading the label the housekeeper knows the ingredients and being careful of the welfare of her household, avoids the alum kind of baking powder.
 Good baking powder is one of the most useful things in the kitchen and there is a difference.

DILL'S ACQUlTTAL.

The acquittal of Earl Dill, who was tried in the Pulaski circuit court on a charge of having criminally assault ing Miss Ray Burkhalter, of Pine Bluff, is a verdict that can do much harm and little good. The sentiment in Lit tie Rock is said to be strong against the jurymen who heard the case and returned the verdict, acquitting Dill But what is to be accomplished now Dill has been declared mot guilty of the horrible crime laid at his feet. The public must accept it regardless of the fact that it may seem bitter Dill for the unfortunate young lady and the members of her family.
 It is another case of a shrewd at torney, some well trained witnesses and the complete failure of the Little Rock police and Pulaski county au- thorities to gather sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction ef criminal. The Little Rock Gazette says that the police and county officers in that city are at 'outs@ and do not work in haf- mony. If such is the case there ought to be some changes and hey ought to be made Immediately. If there is one thing that can interfere with the enforcement of the law and the giy- ing of justice it is lot of jealous off, cers; men who have their hammers out on all occasions and who sToon low in some instances to prevent a brother officer from making a rec. ord, as they term it.
 Miss Burkhalter is to be svmpa thized with. Her fair name has bee, brought into a most regrettable sen sation and one that has caused he much embarrassment and annoyance Earl Dill may be innocent, but if doe not look natural that a young woman will swear before jury that he wa positively the man who attacked he, if he had not done so. Miss Burkbal ter is still positive of this. She take
 with him for a half an hour befor she was attacked and is the mor
