COMMISSIONERS WIN
 THEIR FIRST VICTORY

Little Rock, Nov. 5.-The Capi- tol Commissioners won their first victory Monday in the suit brought by Caldwell & Drake, the original contractors, for S250,000 for alleged breach of contract in taking the contract away from them and giving it to someone else for completion. Judge Guy Fulk of Pulaski cir cult court sustained the demurr- CT interposed by the Commis- sioners.
 Judge Fulk held that the act creating the Capitol Com mission was constitutional and their acts were therefore valid and bind ing. The Legislature in 1909 passed an act discharging Cald- we'll & Drake, directing the gov ernor to place the. contract else where. He appointed the new com mission, which took posses sion of the building June II, 1909. Caldwell & Drake in their con- plaint cortended that their con- tract was violated by the new mission without cause, as as they claim they had complied with all the plans and specified. tions.
 The suit was against the indi- vidual members of the COmmis- sion, Gov. Donaghey, H. L. Rem ', mel, Chas. L Thompson, R. F. Foster and J. l. Moore.

CLING ID STRANDED SHIP
UNABLE TO CATCH LIFE LINES
 SHOOT TO THEM. Severe Storm Prevents Life Savers From Launching Their Boats
 Vessel Is Unidentified.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 4-With two of her crew lashed to the rigging and the others undoubtedly lost, an unidenti. fled schooner lies stranded, three. quarters of a mile southeast of the new inlet life saving station, being bat tered to pieces in 3S-mile gale. Lines have been shot from shore over the ship, but the two men appeared to be too weak to seize them.
 The unidentified ship must have been caught and driven upon the reefs by the terrible gale that swept the coast about Hateras, and tried the re- sistance of heavier craft Many other small ships must have suffered.
 The lookout of the new inlet life saving station, patrolling the beach at dawn, sighted the wreck struggling un- der the crashes of the giant combers, which swept her and threatened to send her ashore in bits. The tail end of the gale, still travelling at 38 miles an hour, kept the wreck shrouded moust of the time behind curtain of waves and spray, but through glasses the life-savers could see two forms, evidently men, lashed high on the masts of the ship, which were dipping and stooping under every assault of the sea. eBlow them no human being could live.

SERVED in A COLD PIE.

cir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction TO
Queen Hsnrlstta.
Perhaps the most remarkable dwarf
on record was Sir jeffrey Hudson, the
little fellow whom Scott introduces in
"Peveiil of the Peak" He was born
in Rutlandshire. England. ip 1919
When eight years Of age he was pre-
sented by the Duke OF Buckingham to
Queen Henrietta In a cold pie. he aft
erward became attached TO the court Of
Charles /. At one OF the court masks
the kings porter, q man Of gigantic
size, who used to torment the little
dwarf. pulled from n pocket a loaf Of
bread and from the other jeffrey, much
TO the surprise and amusement Of the
company present. jeffrey was az this
time only eighteen inches In height
He remained at this stature until he
was thirty years Of age. after which q
curious exception to the laws Of growth
took place. since jeffrey rapidly grew
to be three feet nine inches in height,
whereas most men do not grow q quar-
ter Of an inch after the age OF thirty
This dwarf had an enormous head and
very large hands and feet; otherwise
his proportions were symmetrical and
bis face was considered handsome.
