Work of Practical Joker.

The Corriere of Rome, which pub lished some time ago a copy of a document said to have been found in the library at Bergamo containing an account of ''an airship voyage across the English channel in 1751," is re- ceiving much attention at the hands of investigators. In the Tribunes mo- tice of this alleged achievement, in which a monk named Grimaldi, of Ci- vita Vecchia, was the chief actor, it was stated that there was nothing in the Italian papers article to indicate that it was not written in good faith. Now" writes an Englishman from Rome "the records of Civita Vecchia are being searched in vain for Gri- maldi and the papers of England for 8 story of the flight. The document may be in the library, but who was the practical joker who placed it there ?" New York Tribune.

BRIEF IN DRUMMING CASE.
Appeal Taken From Decision of
 State Supreme Court.

Briefs have been forwarded to the by states attorneys, in the case ot Al Williams against the state, being case to test the constitutionality of the anti-drumming law, relative to hotels at Hot Springs.
 Williams has been for a number of years engaged in the hotel busi- ness at Hot Springs. He was charged with soliciting or drumming busi- ness on train between Little Rock and Hot Springs in violation of the law against such practice passed by the legislature of 1907.
 In the Garland circuit court Will jams was convicted and fined in ac- cordance with the provisions of the law, from which judgment special ap- peal was taken to the state supreme court. Here the judgment was af- frmed Whereupon Williams appealed to the federal supreme court.
 The brief as filed by the state sets up that the law is not unconstitution al, but is a logical exercise of the states regulations in the discharge of it's function of promoting the comfort and convenience of it's citi- Zens." The brief, while not extended in volume, at the same time covers probably a hundred cases, cited i.i support of the states contention that the law is valid exercise of a con- stitutional power.

Prison Fund Row Settled.

Little Rock.-The squabble over the payment of penitentiary funds was settled by Attorney General Nor wood in an opinion given State Au- ditor lobe. He says, in part:
 At the time the legislature passed the act making the appropriation up- on the penitentiary fund there Was nothing in the treasury to the credit of such fund, and it was evidently the intention of the legislature that the amount borrowed from the gen. eral revenue fund should be paid back whenever the penitentiary fund was able to do so, and it is my opin- ion that it was the intention of the legislature to pay the balance of the purchase price of the state farm, af- ter it had reimbursed the general revenue fund, and had a sufficient amount on hand to pay the amount after meeting the current expenses"

AUDITORIUM FOR MEETING

Made with Special View to
Their Purpose.

The .chairmeD OK the local entertainment
committee. with Mrs. Stevens and Miss
Gordon, inspected. the Auditorium this
morning as a possible meeting place for
the National Won.en's Christian Temper
ance union convention in October.
While the Auditorium is the only place
in the city adequate in size, a number OF
special provisions will be required to make
it suitable as a meeting place for a five
days session of women. Extending the
stage forward will largely overcome the
difficulty of hearing. but the matter of
comfortable seats will be somewhat more
difficult. Manager Gillian is confident that
this. too, can be arranged satisfactorily
The rear OF the stage can be fitted up for
committee and rest rooms that may be
easily cleared away for occasions when
space is required for special demonstrations
such as those being considered for the chill
dren. The corridors OF the second floor
back of the galleries admit of good use for
rest purposes, and the offices on the sec
ond floor and space on the first floor can
be used for conferences and COMMITTEES

sidered. but il will accommodate only the
