OLGA NETHERSOLE
 WASTING TALENT

Olga Nethersole, who rightfully de- serves the title of one of Americas greatest actresses, presented Henri Bernstein's play "The Redemption Of Evelyn vaudray'' to a good sized au- dience at the Elks Theater last night. The play fails to give the ar tiste opportunity to display her won- derful emotions and art. She IS a remarkable actress. possessing every technical proficiency in the art or act ing and her work last evening was captivating throughout. But the play is of the ordinary kind, enureiy too light for her and her excelleh' sunnorting company. The play is talkv and tiresome and the plot is sim ple. Only the magnificent work the star saved the play from absolute boredom.

 It is reasonable to suppose that ex- isting organizations grow and dev- elop and for this reason new addi, hone prove the existance of a grow. Ing, prosperous condition For the week ending today the new industries organized as reported to The Trades. man contain some of more than usua. interest; these include the mining

Arkansas City Disputes Claim of Charleston as Scene of Opening En-
 gagement of the Civil War.

According to local citizen, the fol- lowing article, which has been sub- mitted and which is said to have ap- peared in the June 1, 1890, issue of the Pine Bluff Commercial, npy cause some doubt as to the belief that the first gun of the Civil war, was fired at Charleston, S.

BOARD OF TRADE
 FILES A PROTEST Wires Senator Clarke to Op- pose Scott Anti Option
 Bill Before Senate.
WOULD BE HARMFUL
Would Result i'm Elimination of Am. erican Markets and Permit
 Liverpool to Dictate.

Telegrams, protesting against the passage of the Scott-anti-option bill, which was to have been considered by the United States Senate at Wash- ington yesterday, were fordwarded by Acting Secretary E. A. Howell, of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, to United States Senator James P. Clarke and Murray w. Crane, chairman of the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. The message was sent for the Board of Trade, whose members are strongly opposed to the passage of the measure, declar- ing that it would be detriment not only to cotton merchants as well, and believing that such law would result in the Southern planter receiving much less for his cotton"
 The Board of. Trade urged Senator Clarke to appear before the Senate Committee in opposition to the bill and lend his assistance in defeating the measure.
 The bill, if it becomes a law, would do away with the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges, leaving the cotton growers and Anne rican purch- asers at the mercy of the Liverpool market, which would alone fix the price for the fleecy staple. Similar protests were sent to Washington from other cities and towns through out the South, at the request of E M. Weld, of New York, who urged the bankers and merchants of Arkansas ,and other states. to use their influence against the bill.
 Following is telegraphic extract of an article appearing in New York publication recently on the sub- ject: Perhaps it should be stated in explanation of the break in cotton prices, that Congress will take a vote in a few days on proposition ad vanced by MT. Rurleson to transfer the market for American cotton from land, Congress might induce British people to favor reciprocity between the United tSates to Liverpool. By presenting this cotton market to Eng the. United States and Canada Wall stret wonders what wicked things the cotton planters of the United States have been doing that Congress should be asked to deliver them, bound hand and foot, to the tender mercies of English speculators.'
 Message, Not Authorized. s
 Veo B. Alexander. who with others faro the Scott anti-option bill, de- clared last night that the message sent to Washington signed Board of Trade" was not authorized, by that body. He says that there are many who favor the passage of the bill. A telegram, sent to Senator Clarke last night, and signed by w. D. Hearn, J. E. Boyce and V. o. Alexander, last night, states that the Board of Trade favored rather than opposed the anti option bill and that no meeting of the Board of Trade directors was held au- thorizing the first message sent to him by that body, asking him to op. pose the measure before the Senate committee.

CAPITAL ADDRESSES AT ANNUAL FEAST
 'OF AGRICULTURISTS

Nearly one hundred, including goodly representation of women, were seated at the annual banquet of the Connecticut Board of Agriculture at the Stratfield hotel last evening. The banquet was the one social event of the regular midwinter convention. It served to introduce a number of well known speakers, and while agricul- ture was not a general theme of the after dinner speakers, many striking facts of the development of the ha- tural resources of New England were brought out
 W. H. Lee, vice president of the board was the toastmaster. At the speakers table were: w H. Seeley of Boston, w. A. Henry, rmer dean of the Agricultural college of WiscOn- sin; former Governor Rollin s. Wood ruff of New Haven; E. Rogers, pres ident of the Pomological association; Charles s.

 Rev. E. J. Craft, whose topic was "Recollections of Country Life'' re- counted many delightful anecdotes of HIS CAPC1 IClCSS dS d ClICuIl when he covered 15 miles every Sun day and visited three congregations. His keen and kindly humor found ex- pression in a number of interesting "reminiscences, breathing the atmos- phere of the wholesome whole souled people living close to nature into con- tact with whom his early experiences as county minister frequently brought him.
 w. H. seeley of the New England Lines Industrial Bureau outlined & campaign the railroads propose to carry on for the development of the agricultural resources of New Eng land. He said the bureau had 36,000 acres of land under it's supervision. It is not the aim of the railroads to revolutionize agriculture in this sec tion, he said. but merely to arouse the interest of the farmers and lend them as stance and advice. The bureau is planning to provide lime for fettiliz- ing the New England soil at rock bottom prices.
 w. A. Henry, professor emeritus and for many years dean of the Agricul- tural college of Wisconsin took up the thread of MT. Seeley's address, and recounting his own experiences as Connecticut farmer near Wall ingford, said that lime fertilization of the New England soil will work won. ders with it. Seven years ago when he first settled at WalIingford, he raised half car of produce. Last year he said he raised trainload. Attorney George E. Hill, Horace H. Jackson, President E. Rogers of the Connecticut Pomological society and c. L.. Gold, former president of the society delivered interesting address eS.
