BIG CROWD HERE
TO CELEBRATE
Rain Prevents Ball Game and
Various Sports

The celebration of lndepen-
dence Day on last Monday IN
Estancia, drew the largest num-
Der of people to our city ever
assembled at any time. Not
only were the people from this
immediate vicinity in evidence,
but visitors from all portions OF
the county and several cities out
side of the county were on our
streets.
The morning program was
carried out as advertised, ad-
dresses being made by Hon. J.T,
Connor, Fred H. Ayers and John
Patrick Kennedy When the
pie eating contest was called,
the small boy was strictly in
it, and did his best.
The showers in the afternoon
postponed the ball game VIII ch
was to have taken placeb b tW Ell
the Santa Fe and Estanl a Joys.
But no one found fault with the
rain, except that they wanted
more of it. Jack Slade, with
his porcupine, attracted a crowd
in spite of the rain. A tempting
offer of twenty-five dollars to
any one whose dog would fight
to the death the animal, went
begging, no one after taking a
look at the animal caring to
sacrifice his dog. Races OF va
rious kinds were pulled off north
of the postof1ice, the crowd surg
ing northward for this event.
Fireworks and a grand ball at
night closed the days entertain
ment.
Everybody was in the best Of
humor all day long, The stores
tried TO keep their doors closed
and dispense with business, but
this was almost impossible, on
account of the hotels being un-
able to handle the crowds, and
lunches had to be purchased. A
few fellows celebrated too freely
in the way of 'self-irrigatlon'
but these were promptly cared
for by Sheriff Meyer, Deputy
Sheriff Smith and Judge BraXton
Some of the out-of town guests
desired to learn whence all the
people came, imagining that q
few train loads must have been
run in for the occasion, and
were loath to believe that al.
had homes in various parts Of
the valley. Throughout the
whole day the crowd was order
ly and anything but boisterous,
resembling more the elite OF
some eastern city than the mis-
called wild and woody west.

AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way l. Was Described by an
 Educated Native.

C. J. Phillips. business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary so- Ciely. throws light upon the workings of the native mind by quoting a re markabc letter in which q native member of he katikiro's tprine minis terSl rHrtN gives a description of the Uganda railway.
 My friend. can tell you the Euro peanS have done q marvellous thing to make the railway and the trains. They faStrn ten or fifteen houses toget her and attach them to Il fireplace which is as big as at elephant, and the road it goes Dn iS ;lS smooth :lS the stem Of q pluntain. II goes as fast as {; swal- low flying at:d everythin" you see out side Hits past Nou like Il spark from q fire. IT il were to drop off one of the bridges hot one in it would be saved for it goes dreatfuIly quick. The hills if passes are ss high as those of koki. and they have bridged over great val leyS which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami- renlbo so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them '
 Later there follows a description of ship. 1t is as deep as our two sto- rieu house and as wide as the kings road ii Men@o. and it is as long as from the katikiro's fence to the gate of the kings inclosure It has three tall poles in it and a big throat, out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo. The rooms in it go down three stories, and the boards of these l cannot describe to you. for such have not been seen before. There is lot of metal work about them, too. but these also | cannot describe. for it is so fine There are children on board and a flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place where chief sleeps, such as even our king has never possessed. .s-London Strand Magazine

YORkE AND ADAMS
 HERE "IN AFRICA

Yorke and Adams. the old time ia vorites who delighted Pine Bluff au- diences in the past when they play ed the ponies and banked and went broke at the Elks theatre for two successive seasons moved the African jungles to the local playhouse last night and they brought with them the Hotel International, the Ju Ju girls, the wives of Moshi and an aggregation of clever African tourists. Teddy Roosevelt he of the dollar-a- word fame, and one of the five hundred lions which has fallen from his bull lets, came too. The lion was still alive when it reached Pine Bluff, but it soon met death al the hands of "Ignatius Timberg," impersonated by Nick Adams.
 There is everything to attract in the Yorke and Adams production this season The stars loom up in up-to- date comedy as brilliant as the ia nous Star of Bethlehem There is no taking it away from Yorke and Adams. They are clever comedians and they retain all of their old laugh producing qualities and some modern ones, too The music is catchy, the costumes elaborate in detail and the scenery magnificent A fair sized au- dience greeted the company, but like the show of the night before, it mer- ited much larger house. The girls are pretty and shapely. They form a real live chorus. featuring action from curtain rise to it's fall in each act. The show is one that ought to reap a harvest in the south, if theatre goers are wise and know a good thing when it hits town One of the most attractive and vivacious members of the company is Miss Mercedes To- renz who assayed the light but diff cult role of 'Tu Tu, daughter of Demi Tasse. She is a striking beauty and one of the cleverest little actress es appearing in musical comedy in
 
 this city this season, at least. There are many members of the cast deserv- ing of special mention, but it would be unfair to omit the names of Alan Coogan and Miss Jeanette La Blanc, whose Dancing was the best ever seen in any company in this city. They are as light as feathers and intro duce some of the most difficult steps ever attempted on the stage. They were repeatedly encored last night and if they would have yielded the au- dince might have kept them dancing all night. One noticeable feature about the performance of Tn Afri- ca.' was the excellence of the musi- cal numbers, the well trained chorus showing up to fine, advantage. The show is worth any mans money.

Santa Claus Brings Snow.

Santa Claus (or somebody
brought general snow from Ari-
zona eastward late the night before
Christmas, and all railroads north
of Virginia were running from
to "a hours behind time for three
or four days.
The storm occurred on the full
moon, aud the hurricane winds
swept the Eastern coast with an al
most tidal wave, the destruction in
Boston alone being estimated at
S., 100000.
Many deaths from freezing oc-
cured.
In Clarke county the snow drift
ed badly in all roads, some of them
were impossible for several days.
All the roads and railroads seem
to have recovered from the storm
this morning, and trains are again
running on time.
The average depth of snow in
Clarke county was about inches,
but the drifts were from three tc
feet IN depth.
