SENATE LIKES BASEBALL
Appropriation Bill Laid Aside While Sen
 ators Attend Game.

Little Rock, March 3I.-Again yesterday the senate succumbed to the allurements of baseball and members of that body shortly be- fore o'clock went to the game between the New York Giants and Little Rock in special car. They spent the entire afternoon in dis cussing motions to adjourn and the Warnock bill to exempt cotton fac tories of the state from taxation. The general appropriation bill was brought up just before adjournment, the taxation matter going over un- til Friday.
 The house defeated the Martin bill which would give the school boards of cities the right of eminent domain, allowing them to condemn property for school purposes. The house also passed the bill making it prison offense to infringe on the union label. The bill to annex adjacent property to Philadelphia was indefinitely postponed.
 The Bush bill appropriating 5000 from department of ed ucation fees for professional lice nse examina- tions, was passed.

MAYOR FINES
 COLLEGE BOY

Caught lettering on the Central College campus last night, Paul Oliver, a student of Hendrix Col lege, was arrested last night and fined by Mayor A. ]. Witt this morning. Young Oliver, together with a few other boys who have not yet been apprehended, have, it is reported, been giving the Central authorities trouble by coming on the campus and endeavoring to at tract the attention of young lady boarding students i'll that institu- ton. The only ordinance, how ever, under which the boy could be punished by the city, was the curfew law. He is under IS years of age and was out after nine o'clock, thus violating this ordin- ance, and Mayor Witt assessed the maximum penalty, a fine of Slo andCosts.

only S78, ,ooo remains to be secured before the $500, 900 endowment for Hendrix College is assured, and this sum now seems to be within comparatively easy grasp of the directors of that institution. About so business men presided over by Governor George w. Donaghey, met at banquet at the New Capitol hotel last night and discussed the educational situation in the state, and especially that portion of if pertaining to Hendrix College. This meeting was marked by much enthusiasm, and all pres ent were outspoken ill their asser- tions that the educational condi- tion of Arkansas was in a deplora. ble state.
 A meeting of the Board of Man agers of Hendrix College was held at the offices of Rev. James Tho mas, commissioner of education, yesterday afternoon, and MT. Thomas was instructed to go among the business men of the state and make further efforts to secure the remaining S78,ooo. Plans were made at this meeting to communicate with every man in the state who is interested in higher education and to secure additional funds to provide Hen drix College with additional build ing and equipment, which are sorely needed.
 Among the speakers at the ban quet were Gov. Donaghey, former Congressman T. c. McRae of Pres colt, w. K. Ramsey of Camden, Dr. T. E. Sharp of Little Rock, Pres. s. Anderson, Dr. James Thomas, James A. Buchanan, w. H. Arnold and E. E. Porter of Texarkana, Adam Treischmann of Crossett, Capt w. w. Martin of Conway, J. H. Harrod and w. N. Kavanaugh of Little Rock.

CHANGES IN
 STATE OFFICES

Little Rock, March 3I.-Tomor- row many changes will be made in the penitteinary and militia man. agement. Dr. Harrison succeeds Dr. Russell as penitentiary surgeon, and Chaplain Graham will enter upon his duties and Adam Clarke will succeed Clerk Paine. J. R. Taylor of Paragould succeeds L. c. c. Berry as assistant adjutant gen eral of the Arkansas state guard.
 Capt. Swain of Lonoke will at the same time succeed Capt. Wat kins as the superintendent of the Arkansas Soldiers Home.
 Next Monday the old board of charities will go out and the new board take its place Tuesday. The penitentiary board also meets Mon- day and at that meeting a report will be submitted by Dr. Russell, the retiring penitentiary surgeon which he says will be even more sensational than his last report, which brought about special in- vestigation of affairs on the Ark ansas convict farm. Dr. Russell, who is now conducting a sanitarium at Leslie, has stated this last re- port to the board will be his great est effort and he expects to make it a strenuous one.

Former Hendrix Student Hurt.

Black Rock, March 3I.-While running their ferryboat yesterday across the Black River about mile north of this place, E. T. Irby and his son Alvin were badly in- jured. The boat on account of the high waters, became unmanag- able and became entangled in the wire cables. The elder Irby re- ceived internal injuries and Alvin sustained injuries to his face that affect the sight of one eye.
 Alvin Irby is a former student of Hendrix College and is we'll known in Conway.

GIRL IN MALE
 ATTIRE FINED

Masquerading in the attire of the opposite sex, young woman was arrested late yesterday afternoon in this city and given a fine of $ and costs by Mayor A. J. Witt. The arrest caused a mild sen sation on the streets. Accompanied by male companion, the girl arrived in Conway early yesterday morn ing, travelling in true "hobo" style, on throughlfreight train. They registered at the Markham hotel, and the fact that one of them was a woman was not suspected until late in the afternoon, when they were arrested by Marshal J. R. Charles as they were leaving town on foot. The woman wore her long hair coiled upder,,a mans cap, and made no attempt to deny her sex when arrested. She gave her name as Sadie Moore, and said she adopted mems clothing in or der that she might travel over the country and secure work more easily. The man accompanying her pawned a watch to pay her fine. He at first claimed they were married, but the woman denied
 this, and they left last night on trains going in opposite directions.

BIG GIFTS ARE ANNOUNCED
$22,ooo Raised Toward Endow-
 ment of Hendrix.
Campaign for $3oo, 900 Endowment Given Big Boost at Banquet Held in
 Little Rock.

Gifts amounting to S22, ,ooo for the purpose of increasing the en- dowment of Hendrix College to $500, ,ooo were announced by Dr. James Thomas at big banquet held in Little Rock last night, ac- cording to President Stonewall Anderson, who returned this morn ing. The banquet, he says, was attended by about 60 of the most prominent business men in the state and great enthusiasm was manifested by those present.
 The gifts announced by Dr. Thomas brings the total endow- ment of the college to $I47,oo and leaves only S78,ooo to be raised in order that the S75,ooo gift offered by the General Educa- ton Board: may be secured. It will be necessary also to raise about $50, 900 to clear the institution of debt, to take advantage of the boards offer. President Anderson says however, that Dr. Thomas is confident that this amount will be raised within the required time, and by March I, 1910, Hendrix College will be free from indebted ness and will be enjoying an i'm come from $500, 900 cash endow- ment.

Traffic on the Canals Of Holland.

Next to the windmills. Holland Is
best known for its canals, for the en-
tire country is a network Of these
waterways. Almost everywhere one
looks is to be seen a canal threading
its way through the meadows and
fields and towns, and at frequent inter-
walls canal boats, drawn by horses or
men, or else propelled by sails or q
gasoline engine-for this latter mod
ern means of propulsion is now in
stalled on many of the boats-may be
seen passing, and If one has the leisure
to make canal boat trip through Hol-
land it offers an interesting and unique
means of transport. This cheap form
of transportation is a godsend to the
Dutch people. By means of the slow
but capacious canal boats their garden
and field products are carried to the
markets of the cities, and If there ever
were a necessity for the regulation of
railway rates in that country, canal
boat transportation would solve the
problem.

The AntI.rubercu!osls Fight.

Educating the people to combat the
spread of tuberculosis is a movement
which it would be superfluous to
praise. Miniature model tenements
and graphic reproductions of the op-
posite sort will do very little positive
good, however, unless the people who
see them think to some purpose
While in our cities we have system
of taxation which penalties with a
heavy tax the builder of model tene-
ment and rewards with a low tax the
owner Of filthy rookery, model tene-
ments will continue to be few and
filthy rookeries will continue to be
many. Education is a great force in
the fight against consumption, and
some day people will learn that there
are more deadly wholesale ways of
spreading and perpetuating tubercu
losis than by expectorating in car
or ferryboat.-Puck.

eermany's Great Growth.

The question of race suicide does
not trouble Germany, though there
is steady drain upon her population
through emigration. Last year nearly
100000 left her. and there are now
about 100000 Germans in the United
States; between 100000 and 2,OO0,-
900 in Russia, and large Teutonic
representation in Australia and Bra
I'll. Notwithstanding this, the popu-
lation has almost doubled in so years.
In the last Is 1t has increased from
49.400,000 to over 61,177,O0O, and the
surplus Of births over deaths has ris-
en- from Ill per cent in 1890 to 145
per cent. in 1904. The deposits of
these people in the savings banks
guaranteed by their various munich
palities amount to nearly s3,250, ,O00,-

The "Moxina Picture Eye.n

The oculist as we'll as others have
discovered new disease which they
have named the moving picture eye.
1t Is an affection Of the eyes which
comes from too great familiarity with
the five-cent theaters, where the en-
tertainment is largely by means of
moving pictures. Individually l have
experienced the trouble, but 80 sell
dom as to mean nothing. But others
have told me that half hours stay In
a moving picture theater always gave
them headache and that headache
must have come through the instru-
mentality Of the eye. 1t is well known
that specialists often associate head.
aches and kindred troubles to defective
vision. 1t looks to me as II the mat

suryino Cables in River Bed.

It seems odd that telegraph and
telephone companies should be forced
to bury their cables In the bed Of a
large river, yet this became necessary
in places along the Ohio during the
recent drought. The river was so low
that boys could and did play ball in
the very channel bed. and the expo
sure left the telephone cables entirely
unprotected. To avoid a repetition
Of the incident, therefore, the com.
panies have dug trenches In the river
bed. In which the cables have been
securely covered.-Marine Journal.
