THE WOMAN QUESTION.

She belonged to many cultured clubs,
Both ethical and physical;
In analyzing Browning's stuff
Her point of view was quizzical;
In discussing moral topics
She was always most impressive;
In reforming and uplifting
She was all to the progressive.
Her set was most exclusive,
In the very best society
And her mental convolutions
Were of infinite variety;
she was strong for woman's suffrage
AS a means of civic purity,
And her labors were unceasing
For the good of all futurity.

And despite her proud position

Put her through an inquisltion;

Little Rock, July 1.-THE Arkan-

remanded for a new trial the case
of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Railway Company against

returned verdict for the plaintiff
for $500 damages. J. H. Harrod
represented the plaintiff and the rail
way company was represented by I.

AIRDOME TONIGHT.

The great Lazern Company, in com
ic magic and beautifully staged illus
trations, will play at the Airdome to-
night. The company has been play
ing at Forrest park in Little Rock for
the past week and the Gazette says the
following about them:
"The Lazerns are really splendid
popular priced show at Forest park
theater this week. 1t is really no ex-
aggeration to say that in expertness
in tricks of magic and illusions he
equals any of the high-priced magi-
clans. His deviation act, "Thoma,'
in which hypnotized woman is seen
to arise from a casket and float in the
air, is in every respect equal to kel-
lars act of the same character. His
trick of borrowing a ring and pres
emily finding it tied around the neck
of white rat found in a bottle from
which the magician served wine to the
audience, is thoroughly mystifying.
Hardly less clever is his trick of
pouring sand of three colors into
washbasin full of water and on de-
mand of those in the audience picking
out dry sand of any color called for.
From self-made paper cornucopla
he produces inflated balloons, many
flowers and finally live pigeons. From
box he brings forth an alligator
larger than the box and his trick of
causing cards, selected by the audience
to rise from tumbler and float in
| the air is wonderfully clever"
Besides the magic, the regular num-
Der of moving pictures will be given.

. THE reason the newspapers have
been printing so much matter about
the prize fight is that the great mass
of the people wanted to read it. Gov
ering" the fight at Reno was a losing
pl OPPOSITION to most of the great met
ropolitan dailies. One San Francisco
pa per had II staff correspondents on
the ground and for weeks preceding
the fight printed from four to six
solid pages of matter concerning it
each day. A New York daily is re-
ported to have spent $4,000 in tele-
graph tolls on the day of the fight
The enormous expenses incurred by
these newspapers were not met by
the increased sales, but were forced
upon them by public demand All
of which goes to show that there is a
good deal of insincerity in the "cru-
