MAY PERMIT
 SUNDAY BALL

Little Rock, April 26.-Cities of Arkansas may have Sunday base ball in the near future, if a bill which is now being drawn is favor ably passed upon by the general assembly. The bill is not a straight out Sunday baseball bill, but pro vides for the submission to the vo. ters of the counties, along with other matters at the next general election, the question as to whether CT not Sunday ball is to be played ill the county. As the cities ot the state all favor Sunday baseball, there is hope that ill this way games on the Sabbath will be permitted in a number of counties ln the state. On this plan, Sunday base ball would not be permitted any where it would be obnoxious. The perfect fairness of the proposition will, it is expected, appeal to the legislators, and they will allow the people to extend the local option laws to cover baseball and kindred sports. Sunday baseball is now played in many towns of the state, especially amateur games. Pro fessional baseball is barred in Lit tie Rock on Sunday, but amateurs play without interruption or pros ecutiOn.

TWO SPECIAL
 MESSAGES READ

Little Rock, April 26.-Special. Two special messages from Gov ernor George w. Donaghey were read in the Arkansas legislature today. The first message asked that the sum of Sr75, 900 be appro- priated out of the state capitol fund, out of which to pay Caldwell & Drake, the contractors, any amount which the board of arbi- tration created by the Patterson bill may adjudge to be due them.
 Governor Donaghey stated i'll his message that the contractors had agreed to abide by the deci- sion of the board, providing the legislature would make the ap- propriation. George w. Caldwell, however, claimed this afternoon that he had made so such proposi- ton 10 the governor.
 A bill carrying the appropria- tion requested was introduced in the senate this morning and read the first time.
 Another special message from the governor asked the legislature to revise the revenue laws before adjournment. It stated that the state would be placed upon scrip basis during the next two years unless some action is taken by the general assembly.

which nearly 5000 persons are cared for. Among these institu- tions is the Odd Fellows Widows aud Orphans Home at Batesville, this state.
 The secret work of the order is founded to a considerable extent on Holy Writ, the degree work being taken from instances recounted in the Bible, the book being all i'm portant part of the equipment of every Odd Fellows lodge room.
 The objects of Odd Fellowship are to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and edu- cate the orphan. It seeks to "im- prove and elevate the character of man, imbue him with proper con ception of his capabilities for good, ellighten his mind, enlarge the sphere of his affections and lead him to a cultivation of the true fraternal relation designed by the great Author of his being" " The motto Friendship, Love and Truth" was known and used in connection with the order in I775. The organization for attaining these objects has two distinct branches, closely allied, called lodges and encampments.
 In 1851 the Rebekahs' lodge, the ladies' branch of the order, was organized.
 The military side of the encamp- ment branch of the order is term ed "The Degree of Patriarchs Militant. " The unit of the military organization is a canton, which consists of at least IS members called "chevaliers. :" The cantons are organized into battalions, regi- ments, brigades and divisions. The grand sire is ex officio head and commander i'll chief of the Patriarchs Militant.

METHODIST CHURCH FILLED
Union Services Result in Several
 Conversions.
Meeting Will Continue Throughout This Week in the Gospel Tent-Much
 Interest Manifested.

On account of the union services at the Methodist church last night that church was filled to overflow ing, not even standing room being left. The services were held at the church for the reason that the ground was too damp for outdoor services. Rev. J. B. Stevenson preached strong sermon, at the close of which several went forward and gave the preacher their hands on the proposition that they would try to become Christians. Much interest was manifested by the large congregation, and Rev. Ste venson is we'll pleased with the re- suits of the meeting so far and says the prospects for much being done are good.
 Yesterday afternoon a young peo- ple's meeting was held at the church, at which Rev. Stevenson delivered an excellent sermon. w. B. Hubbell of Hendrix, who was one of the representatives of the college at the state Y. M. C. A. association in Little Rock recently, made a short talk on the work done at that meeting.
 The services will continue throug bout this week at the tent, the afternoon service at 2;3o and the night meeting at 7:3o.

 The first lodge of Odd Fellows in the United States was established in 1879. It was on April 26 at Baltimore, where Thomas Wildey and four others, who had been members of the Odd Fellows lodge in England met and organized the first lodge of the order in the United States. The European trunk of the order had its origin in London about I745. There had been des- ultory attempts made to start the order ill the United States before the Baltimore lodge was founded, but these did not prove successful.
 Now the lodge has in the United States a total membership of about I,7oo,o 900. Odd Fellowship exists and thrives in every state and ter ritory in the Union and in all civil ized nations.
