adds:
You are also aware that this state of
affairs was brought on by the trusts in
this country through the legislation OF

Telephone Scheme a Failure.
On Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
:. LONDON, February 10.
No one except the post Office authori-
ties Is surprised that the scheme of tel
ephoning messages to London subscrib-
ers Sunday morning is proving a failure.
1t was quite obvious when the scheme
was announced that instead of posting
messages Saturday to the general post
Office from the provinces. to be tele-
phoned on the Sabbath, the ordinary per-
son would prefer to send a wire direct on
the Saturday evening: and the fact that
the number of messages is steadily de-
Ginning shows that the postal authorities
have made a miscalculation.

The Laetare medal, which, 1t is ex-
planned, is the highest decoration of honor
for lay member OF the Catholic Church
in the United States and which is an
nually conferred by the University of
Notre Dame on some man or woman who
has achieved distinction in art, literature,
science or philanthropy, is awarded this
year to the present American minister to
Denmark, Maurice Francis Egan, author.
educator and diplomat. The award is
made for distinguished services to Cath
olc literature and education.
Although the name of the recipient and
the reasons for the award are made pub
lie on Laetare Sunday, the actual presen-
tation of the medal does not take place
until several weeks later at a time when
dignitarieS of the Catholic Church and
men eminent in the same line of work as
the recipient can be brought together. In
the case of DR.. Egan he will probably not
be formally decorated with the medal I'M
til the latter part of May or June.
For twenty years before his appoint
ment as the representative of the United
States at the court of Denmark DIR. Egan
was occupied as a professor lharature,
and during that period he found time to
publish several important works on liter
airy criticism which are held in high es-
TEEN by university men. He is also well
known as a novelist. but his claims to lit
erary distinction rest most on the verse
which he has written. In several pub
lished volumes he has shown merit as
true poet, and as such he has been held
by critics like Edmund Clarence Stedman
and Richard Watson Glider. The last
named placed him among the three best
sonneteers in English. Because the liter
airy quality of his work is so fine, and
most of all because his themes are whole
some and elevating, the trustees of the
University of Notre Dame have selected
DIR. Egan as the recipient of the Laetare
medal this year

Newport, Jan. 1.-The old year was rung out last night with the clang of cash registers in the sa- looms of Jackson county, but the new year was not rung in in the same way.
 Newport and the whole of Jackson county is today as dry as the proverbial bone, all on ac- count of the unexpected leligi- ous experience of an ex-bar tender, H. .S. Simmons, who is now county judge.
 A month ago Judge Simmons announced that he, having re- gently been converted to the Baptist faith, he could not con. scientiously grant liquor licenses another year, and the licenses all expired at midnight last night. Among the saloons closed is one belonging to the Judges brother. The saloons have been preparing for several weeks to close and have been selling off stock and fixtures as rapidly as possible.

PROSPERITY, Y,ARKAN-
 SAS' NEW YEARS GIFT

A prosperous New Year seems to be in store for Arkansas, ac- cording to the forecasts of men who should know. especially fin anciers and dealers in building material, sales of the latter being sure index of the prosperity of a community or commonwealth.
 At the capital of the State, re- ports would indicate, those who have their fingers on the pulse of industry and trade and who from their central location and business connection with all parts of the State, are in posi- tion to judge, look for Arkansas to make ord-breaking prog ress along all lines in 1910.
 Educational and religious con. ditions never evidenced greater potential energy. The States educational leaders are working through the State press in a most enthusiastic manner for the betterment of tn e rural schools. Big religious denomi. nations report institutions outrof debt that haven't been in that condition since their founding and more money will be spent for state mission work this year than ever before in the history of more than one of the chief religi- ous organizations of the State.
 The general financial condition will be good during 1910 accord ing to the belief of the State S 1 foremost financiers. That bonds for public institutions will find ready market during the coming year is the opinion of a recog- nized authority, Chas. Mckee vice-president of the Stare Ma, tional Bank of Little Rock. Ac- cording to his belief, therefore paving bonds, school bonds, sew. CT bonds and drainage bonds will be able to find a market that will warrant the inauguration of a number of big projects in vari ous parts of the State. The State National Bank is the insti tuition which purchased a record breaking number of Arkansas securities during 1909 and which weakened the grasp Of the east Nern financial kings on the prog resS of this State, enabling the State to carry out her own pro jects wi 1t h Arkansas money Proving faith by works the State National Bank is preparing fol the States expected progress by erecting twelve-story structure in Little Rock.
