NO CHANGE IN THE
 SMART SET SHOW

The Smart Set Company, colored aggregation travelling in a private car and numbering about twenty-five peo- ple' appeared at the Elks Theater last night to a top heavy house and small audience of whites. The show is practically the same as that which has appeared here in the past, with no new features and few good voices. The company is not as good as that which appeared here several years ago. The negroes in the gallery and the balcony enjoyed the performance and the white people on the lower floor enjoyed their screaming and applause.

Fair in October, since the laboring men feel that they should have a representation on the committee. In view of the fact that some of Col. Roosevelt'S old honorees are residents of this city and are also adherents of the Republican faith, it seems a little strange that Mayor Toney did not think of some of them in the sell ection of the Pine Bluff representa- tives. One would naturally suppose that Major Fred c. Furth would have been among the first that he would have thought of, as he is a Republi- can and one of Pine Bluffs most en- terprising and representative citizens, yet he has not been considered by the mayor. There are several oth- CTS who might be mentioned, not that the gentlemen named are not all that they should be, but it seems that at least one or two of Mr. Roosevelt's family should have been named on the committee that is to meet and welcome him. It will no doubt make but little difference to the Republicans whether they are appointed by the mayor or not, as they will go to see Teddy anyway, and while the laboring men will feel little sore over the blunt insult thrust at them by the mayor they will live over it and be in good shape by the time the next city elec- tiOn comes around.

Corbett Intervenes.
johnson came over to the spot and
stood poised over his adversary, his
body ready for left hook If Jeffries
regained his feet.
Jim Corbett, who twice had gone
down before Jeffries' blows. and who
had stood in Jeffries' corner all DURING
this fight, telling Johnson what q
fool he was and how he was in for
the beating of his life, now ran for
ward with outstretched arms, crying:
%, don't Jack, don't hit him"
Jeffries painfully raised himself to
his feet. His jaw had dropped, his
eyes were nearly shut and his face
was covered with blood. With tremb-
ling legs and shielding arms he tried
to put up a defense, but he could not
stop a terrific right smash in the law
followed by two left hooks. He went
down again. Jeffries' physician and
other friends jumped into the ring.

From Johnson's corner his seconds

il was all over.
Jim Corbett is practically the only
man in Jeff's camp who takes an 'T
told you so" attitude. But he is con.
Sistent as several days ago he called
the turn by saying Jeff did not box
enough. This was fittingly illustrat-
ed when Johnson began beating him
up after the fourth round. Jefrs
judgment for distance was woefully
weak.
Sport writer's are almost unanimous
in declaring Johnson outclassed his
white opponent, but that Jeff's age
and six years of idleness had much to
do with the defeat. GThe fact that
Jeff got a closed eye in the second
round had much to do as both lids
were swollen which made him prac-
tically blind.
