Irish National Color.

The color officially recognized for
Ireland is blue, ST. Patrick's blue, and
that was a~nciently and honorably rec
ognized as the Irish color. In the
royal standard of the United King
dom the quarter blazoning Ireland
shows this field Of blue az the back
ground for the golden harp with its
silver strings. The ribbon of the
Order Of st. Patrick is of the same
blue. The green is the revolutionary
color and is quite modern. Some an
tiQuarians maintain that the earliest
nag Of Ireland was Of orange, long
antedating the recent fractional
use OF that color.

XMAS AT ARLINGTON.
Guests Receive Presents From Big
 Tree-Ball Tonight.

Holly and mistietoe, hung in fes- toons and draped about columns in rotunda and parlors, gives the inter for of the Arlington hotel a cheery holiday appearance, which is de- lighting to the visitors who are away from home for Christmas. The din ing room and grill have also been specially decorated, in fact, the management has gone as far as to have holly and mistletoe displayed in every room.
 An annual feature at the Arlington is the tree celebration on Christmas eve. Last night Manager Corrington again essayed the role of Santa Claus. There were presents for all the guests and wit flowed buoyantly as the toys and novelties were handed out.
 Tonight's big ball at the Arlington is bound to be brilliant success. The beautiful ballroom will be gayly bedecked in holiday attire and will fairly sparkle in it's bTilliancy. The management cordially invites all friends of the fashionable hostelry to join it's guests in the dancing and attending merry making. Dancing a. 9 o'clock.

JOHNSTON WILL
 OBTAIN LIBERTY
MAN ACCUSED OF sHiPMAN KILLING TO BE FREED AFTER
 MAKING $5,ooo BOND.
Circuit Judge Gotham Reviews the Evidence Taken Before Justice and Decided Evidence Is Not
 Conclusive.

George Johnston, charged with
 murder in connection with the dis appearance of Carroll Shepman, his former cabin mate on a farm near this city, yesterday won signal point in his favor when Circuit Judge Gotham, after a review of the evid-
 ence on which Johnson was held, de cided that the accused was entitled to liberty under bond until his case is tried
 The bond was placed at $5,O00, which Judge Thurston r. Farmer, counsel for the accused man, says will be made through his brother and friends in Yell county, where Johnston resided until coming here about three years ago.
 Circuit Judge Gotham had the case
 submitted to him without oral aTgu-
 ment and wholly on the evidence as
 adduced before Justice Kirk, who
 conducted the preliminary examina- tion. In rendering the decision Judge
 Gotham stated that Johnston was en-
 titled to bond unless the evidence was conclusive against him.
 This is purely a circumstantiaI
 case, he said, and there were two
 features of it to be considered: first,
 that Shepman was really dead, that
 the body identified as Shepman was
 actually Shepman's body; and next
 that Johnston killed him. Judge r Gotham stated that the evidence That
 the body was Shepman was most con
 elusive, but that the evidence or the
 circumstances pointing to the guilt
 of Johnston was not conclusive, and
 therefore he was entitled to bond
 until he had hearing of the issue
 in a proper court.
 Judge Gotham and Judge Farmer
 and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Wilmington went over the situation
 as to the probable time of the trial of the case. On January 2, they will consult again, with a view of hav- ing the case set for positive trial on January 9. Judge Farmer is ready for the case to to be tried, and so Is the state, and there will probably be no delay in the matter.
 Johnston expressed little interest
 in the decision of yesterday. He had regarded his arrest at first as a tri- vial incident and had believed that | he would not be held further than a

PICTURES ARE GOOD.
Maker of Film Taken Here Says They
 Show to Good Advantaqe,

Every man, woman and child of the great crowd that gathered on the streets of the city Saturday a week, when moving pictures of scenes of Hot Springs were taken by the Es- sany camera men, with Miss Martha Russell in the leading role, supported by local talent, will, of course, be interested in knowing that when the film was developed the pictures came out clear and perfect in every respect. Also, it will be of additional interest to learn that this local reel will be shown in the New Central theatre Thursday, the day of the great Pathe feature, making "double-header' for that day.
 Sidney M. Mutt, proprietor of the New Central, who had the local pic ture taken, received a letter yester- day from the company developing the reel. in which they said:
 Tt gives us great pleasure to in form you that we have developed the reel of motion pictures taken in Hot Springs and are more than pleased to state that the photograph is per feet. In fact, it is seldom that We get a picture where the light and pho tography is as good as is the case in the Hot Springs picture"

preliminary examination. When he was bound over to the grand jury he realized that the circumstances pointing to his guilt were serious, and when the grand jury indicted him for first degree murder he knew that he would have to stand a trial under the issue. Johnston believes that if he can get out of jail and confer with some of the associates he knew and met from the time Shepman disappeared until he was arrested, he can offset all the circum- stances considered serious by the state.
 On the other hand the state re- gards the case as a conclusive one. Prosecuting Attorney Witt and Depu- ty Wilmington went over the situa-
