BUSINESS MEN
 MEET TONIGHT Mass Meeting to Be Held at Court House to Discuss
 M. D. & C.. Road
OFF ICIALS COMING
To Outline Plans for Building of Rail- road To This City And on
 To Memphis.

In response to a call issued a few P. P. Byrd committee from tn. Board of Trade. a big mass meetiGg of all citizens and business men will be held tonight at the court house at Ss30 o'clock. Everybody is urged to be present for matters of great im- portance will be discussed by w. w. Brown and J. w. Bishop, president and secretary of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad. The officials of the new road, which proposes to build into Pine Bluff, are expected to outline the plans of the work.
 Messrs Brown and Bishop visited the city some few days ago and con ferred with Dr. Caldwell and MT. Byrd relative to the railroad, which seems sc near to Pine Bluff. The outcome of the conference was the call for the mass meeting to be held this evening
 For several months the topic of the iCW Odu lo Dt Dulil to Iut DUH has been discussed by every business man and citizen, and now the public is expected to hear something definite concerning the new road. At the time the new railroad was offered to Pine Bluff in consideration of a bonus of $10O,OOO, the business men and citi- zens accepted the proposition unani- mously. The proposition, however, stated that the money should not be called for until actual construction work began on the road. It is noW believed that work is ready to start and the money will be called for. At the mass meeting this evening Messrs Brown and Bishop and prob ably Captain c. c. Henderson, general manager of the M. D. & G. R. R., will address the public. The party Is ex- pected to arrive today. The program has not been announced but will be arranged as soon as the officials ar- rive.

Ye Ready which greatly pleased a host of friends and auditors.
 Last night, the evangelist preach ed on "Is a Good Man Saved Outside of the Church. He read from mem- ory the tenth chapter of Acts, taking as his theme the case of Cornelius MT. Violet took the position that Cornelius, according to the record of his character ill the Bible, was one Of the very best men that ever lived, ex- cepting Christ Jesus, and that thh things that brought him salvation also placed him in the church. The evan- gelist toog particular pains to differ a denomination, stating that God does not sanction the divided condition w have in Christendom, and that no liv- ing preacher could take his Bible and substantiate the clafn that the vari- ous denominations are branches of the vine of which Christ spoke On the other hand he said that Christ w@s the head of the church, and that every Christian should be subject 10 that head and not figurehead. The evangelist made reference to m interview between himself and a minister in one of the denominations after having preached this same ser mon, in which the minister took eX- captions to the evangelist insisting upon baptism. In return the evange- list asked the minister if he believed: it possible for person to be saved to be made holy nd to inherit eternal life without being baptized The min- ister answered that he did. Then tne evan 3elist asked him ii a person could get into his church without baptism and the minister had to an- swer Chat one could not, making it i harcer L., enter his chu. ;ii than to be saved
 Mr. Violett will preach tonight on
 Baptism by various requests from people wanting to know the teaching of the Bible. He did not give any reference but said that he would quote all that the Bible itself has to Say on this the only ordinance which is commissioned to be performed in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

there passed away one of the few remaining pioneers identified with the earlier commercial struggles and triumphs of this city.
 Socially he was the typical gentle man of the old Southern school AS business man he was associated with one of the leading mercantile establishments of Pine Bluff, the R. M. Knox Company. He was upright in all his dealings. He was char itable and liberal. As Christian gentleman he enjoyed the highest re- spect of the church people of this city and section. He was a highly valued member of the First Presby- terian church and at the time of his death was one of the honoreH elders Of that congregation. In the course of his active and useful life S. Y. T. Knox did not build up a great for tune, but his earning enabled him to enjoy the fruits of life and what he acquired came to him as the result of intelligent, honest and laudable businees enterprise.
 Although for year before his death Mir. Knox was in weak physical con- dition he retained the full use of his mental faculties to the end and he maintained his interest in current af- fairs to the last. He read the local newspapers daily and kept up with the happenings at home and abroad and he formed and expressed sound opinions on all subjects that interest ed him. He was particularly im- pressed with the fact that in recent months several of the older and best known citizens, former associates in business and social circles, had pass ed away, and this produced a melan- choly that formed one cloud in his declining days. His death was not unexpected and the vairous members of his family were at his bedside when the end came.
 s. Y. T. Knox had reached that stage in career of usefulness when the subconsciousness of the motive of existence was uppermost in his soul, and which was vitalized in the pres- ence of a devoted wife and growing sons, that must in some way perpet- uate his existence in the eternal link that binds all humankind. In his death this community suffers dis tinct loss While not a great man in the general acceptance of the term, he, nevertheless, possessed characteristics that might be defined as gerat because they were exception al, in that their general combination, so far as he was concerned, were most conductive to happiness, the ul- timate quest of all. In few men can be found more jovial disposition than that possessed by s. Y. T. Knox At all times and under most circum- stances, he was buoyant and optimis- JIG, Jovlal and witty. and so sociabl2 and full of enthusiasm that he in- spired every one around him with the spirit of. good fellowship. He was distinctly man of the world and one of the moving spirits in its activities, both social and otherwise-a man who divided work between time and play, and who in sense was possessed of the heritage of the eternal youth. l Years might have bleached his locks and furrowed his brow, but the sunshine of his soul would have stol- en through these rifts of age with that effective and illuming softness ever suggestive of an April sky. Thus his death is all the more regretted.

Mobs and Music.

From the New York World.
A New York crowd trampled shrub
berry and broke windows Sunday at the
Normal College in the endeavor to
hear a music program made up from
Tschalkowsky. 1t was crowd not
consciously disorderly, but only eager
The occasion was the first of a ser
les of free concerts of high-class music
There was a special orchestra of fifty
pieces to perform the selected num-
bers To any who are able and willing
to improve it this incident presents
an opportunity. People were in the
crowd at the college who had come
from the extremes of the consolidated
city. Yet Director Fleck was able to
say truly: I'VE have free parks, free
libraries. free lectures. free hospitals
and free schools. but no free music,
except band concerts And these
band performances. he might have ad-
ded, only in summer. Suppose free
concert halls of the first class were
as many in New York as are the Car
negie libraries. Or suppose a great
orchestra We're so specially endowed
that it could play in free concerts for
the people at frequent intervals in the
Madison Square Garden or some sim
liar great auditorium. Is there room
for doubt that beneficent enterprise
on such lines would bring immediate
returns in education, uplifting and a
new spirit of popular contentment?

BUSH TOO SELFISH

TALKS ABOUT THE TIGERS

St. Louis, Mo, March 5.-Owen
Bush, the Tigers clever little short
stop, who came to Hughie Jennings
rescue just in time to clinch the 1908
pennant, and who did his share of the
work toward bagging the third flag
for the Detroit outfit last season, is a
holdout.
According to Jennings. Bush is not
satisfied with the terms offered him
by the club. Jennings states that
s1.1oO was added to his salary this
year over that of the 1908 season. Fur
tnermore. that Bush was fairly high
priced player in 1909.
Bush is making a big mistake.
stated Jennings Sunday. We offered
him an increase of SLIGO over his
1908 salary, and he drew a nice figure
last season. He also cut in in the
worlds championship spoils. l don't
know how he feels now, but look for
him to swing into line later"
While not predicting a fourth pen
nant for his tribe. Jennings likes the
prospects of his team. He states tina,
his machine will be equally as strong
as year ago. with good chance OF
some of the recruits bolstering up the
outfit.
| Il am not claiming a pennant,' con

angles to baseball. All l can say is
that like my team as it stands. anc
We will play the same hard game a:

Home Gardens.

Washington Star.
A lecture was delivered last night at
the Public Library on the subject of
planting home gardens" which con-
veys message to the people of Wash
ington. Mr.. HemenWay in telling
about what has been accomplished by
gave the residents of the District a
striking object lesson in their own
opportunities and civic duty. The
Massachusetts town contains large
numbers of people of small incomes,
hard workers of the class usually con-
tent to live in the most unlovely sur
roundings without thought for beauty
or even sanitation. AS a result Of Or
ganized efforts on the part of the citi-
zens Northampton has been trans
formed into garden, with hundreds
of homes surrounded by flowers and
turf and shrubs and with cores
ponding increase not merely in the fl
nancial value of the properties but in
the health of the people.
Washington's field for garden work
is only partly cultivated. To a GER
tain extent the people of the capital
have realized their opportunities and
their duty to themselves in this re-
spect and have undertaken gardening.
but much yet remains to be done in
this direction. The school gardens
have stimulated home interest in this
line of improvement and many a back
yard and front yard have bloomed in
consequence of the activities Of the
children. Owing to the manner in
which the greater part of the city
proper is solidly built in rows, most
on in back yards, screened from pub
lie view. Year by year the feeling
grows that these rear spaces are in a
certain sense common property. One
unsightly yard will offend the view
from perhaps twenty-five or thirty
other dwellings. What Washington
chiefly needs today is keener reali.

The Seriousness Of Nonsense.
A little nonsense now and then
Is much to be desired.
And by the very wisest men
Is frequently admired.
But this esteem, alas, doth move
Some folks, in prose and rhyme,
To seek superior wit to prove
With nonsense all the time.
1t creeps into the speeches long
Designed to win applause.
Some time it makes an effort strong
To break into our laws.
Though nonsense well employed ma
cure
Humanity's distress,
An overdose is almost sure
To cause uneasiness.
