As we figure 1t, that is an advance in
the duty itself Of nearly II per cent.

 Tn the meantime the parents Of the young woman began to suspect that the couple were planning to be married. They strongly opposed this, believing their daughter too young Friday night Mrs Harb had con- versaiion with her daughter on the matter. They talked long and ser iously, and the mother urged the daughter not to marry for year at least.
 The girl listened quietly for while but finally the suspense became too great and the secret came out.
 You are three days too late, mother she said. We were married last Wednesday,

ARRANGING BENEFIT
 FOR EUGENE CURTIS
Former Pine Bluff Singer Attracting Attention in East-H. Chapin
 P!uEITer Compares Him tp
 Far.ags Russian BassO.

The follcw:ng TeXarkana ne8spa- per story, relative to Eugene Curtis, who has been heard often in local churches and concerts, and who for several nostAs sang in a local tha'- ter, will he Head with interest by ii5 Pine Bluff friends:
 When I first heard Curtis sing solo in St. James Church, was iln- mediately struck with the wonderful resemblance between his voice and that of Didur the great Russian Bas- so of the Metropolitan Opera, in fact, I closed my eyes during his singing and tried to imagine I was listening to Didur instead With the exception of a little less power, it was the same voice, same ne-produc9on, same quality, style of delivery, etc. Curtis, in my opinion, would, with few years proper training, be his equal
 The above $ what J C. Purdy thinks of the voice of Eugene Curtis of Texarkana. and is what he re- gently wrote to H. Chapin Plumber, a prominent New York grand opera critic. MT. Purdy preached to Mr. Hummer the subject of having MT. Curtis voice trained and suggested that the people of Texarkana might take the matter in hand and send MT.  Curtis to New York for that purpose. MT. Curtis received the following re- sponse from MT. Hummer:
 "Anent your baritonal friend Your concert benefit idea is a good one. If you decide io do this for the young man, send me up a photo of him with a brief sketch of his schooling, such as it has been, and taking par ticular care to mention specifically some of the amateur or semi-profes- sional musical events, local to Texar- kama, in which he may have partici- pated. Do this and I'll run little story in the papers. which will do the gentleman no harm, and may, possibly, help him bit. Your idea, I think, is decidedly up-to-date and in accordance with the plan sprevai1- ing in the European countries, where talent for music, when displayed by young people, is encouraged, instead of ridiculed and made the subject of censure by the local charities boards, in fear that the victim may one day become public charge.
 I'll. CHAPIN PLUMMER." :"
 So confident is Mir. Purdy that in the person of Mr Curtis Texarkana has a rare genius that he has deter mined to make the effort to send MT. Curtis to New York. He purpo- ses getting up a musical for the singers benefit and invites the CO., operation of all the singers and mu- sicians of the city. Any desiring to lend their voices or support to the project should communicate with Mir Purdy at his office in the State Bank building.
