HENRY CLAY PRICK.


 Beverly, Mass, Aug. 2O-The elite members of the society summer col ony here have not yet recovered from the shock of the latest exhibi- tion of democracy by Henry Clay Prick, the Pittsburgh millionaire. This time it was an entertainment and lawn dance in honor of his daughter, Miss Helen. AS far as attendance and the majority of those present enjoying themselves was concerned the affair was big success. But a large number of the elite were con- spicuous by their absence MT. Prick managed the preliminary preparations himself, and hardly consulted his daughter at all. Seven hundred in- vitations wer eissued and no one was sighted whose names appeared in the directory. Everybody was there and dancing on the great dance floor. which MT. Prick had constructed on his lawn Butcher, baker, candle stickmaker and all other classes of tladesmen with their wives attended the function, enjoyed themselves im- nensely and confidentially voted MT. ir'ck grand man. But the news of the free hand with which invitations had been distributed was the cause for the slump in the attendance of fashionable society matrons of the col. ony.

ing the streets to the cemeteries, are the low bidders on creosoted blocks, With $2.1S for tfree-inch, sixteen pound block, with four-inch founda-' tion. The lowest bid submitted for vitrified brick, that of Mcclure and Stanton, of Kan sas, is $2.O6 per square yard, using the four-inch con- crete foundation and an asphalt fil- Ter. With a five-inch foundation d bid of $2.16 per square yard was submitted by the same firm.
 The property owners of South Main street want a noiseless pave- ment. Brick is durable pavement if proIperly maintained, but the creo- soted block pavement has given SO much general satisfaction in many cities that wood material is growing in popularity every day. It is nose-' less and is easily kept free of dust In submitting a bid on vitrified brick 1t is claimed that an asphalt filler re- duces the noise on brick pavement There may be some merit to this claim, but experienced paving men declare that it is impossible to. dead- en the noise of any brick pavement, unless it is given a covering of seyy- eral inches of tar. The asphalt filler, it is stated, toon hardens and the noise is just as great as that from brick pavement with a grout filler, which is a mixture of sand. In a short while the bricks expand and the asphalt filler is queezed out from between the bricks and disap- pears from continual wearing.
 On Olive and Walnut streets, two of the best paved streets in the city, a five-inch concrete foundation and a sixteen pound block, three-inch block is in use. This five-inch foun- daticn, it is stated, will be permanent, but the four-inch foundation, accord- ing to former City Engineer Bison Hale, was all that was necessary en those streets. The additional cost, it is claimed, was an Wane cessary expense on the part of the property owners of that street.
 The Main street commissioners ap- parently haven't sufficient funds, not withstanding the fact that County Judge Phllpot is going to donate $1, 1000 from the county road fund for each block paved, to give the pEop-' erty owners heavier foundation and a heavier block. Walnut and Olive streets are beautifully paved and the improvement is permanent. The com-' missioners of the Main street district can save the property owners of thar street at least $10,000 by using the same block-three inches and sixteen
 pounds-with four-inch concrete foundation

MANY FAIRS THIS YEAR,

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-There will be county or district fairs this year in forty-five counties, as compared with fifteen last year. This is due largely to the efforts of the govern ment agricultural agents, Commission CT Sloan, and the officials of the state farm. Commissioner Sloan says: 'The county. fair is an educator and an ad- yertisement. Each attractive exhibit touches some one in the same line of work that he can do as well and en- courages him to under take it.

 At Helena it is charged by the telegraph company that after 1t had laid several hundred feet of cable under ground the railway company interfered and succeeded in literally pulling the cable out of the ground by means of tugboat, following which the company succeeded in getting a temporary restraining order against further operations by the telegraph company. It was this injunction whic hhas been dismissed at Wynne.

Beelzebub gave vent to one snort of

lightning blow of those nimble legs,

There was yell of fright. wild

AS we picked our way slowly for

from Cation all he knew regarding the
situation before us. My own knowl-
edge of the environments of the Minor
house helped me greatly to appreciate
the difficulties to be surmounted. He
had succeeded in his escape by dodg-
ing among the negro cabins where the
attacking line appeared weakest, but
expressed the conviction that even
this slight gap would be securely
closed long before we reached there.
"Have they suff1 Gent men, then, to
cover thoroughly all four sides" l
asked.

of him two years ago-he killed man
in the Sixth North Carolina, and took
to the hills. Since then he has devel-
oped into quite a leader for such scum,
and has proven himself merciless
monster. You have no suggestion to
offer as to how we had better attempt
to get in?"
He shook his head despondingly.
what station does Brennan de-
fend?" l asked.
"The front of the house; the main
point of attack has been there"
We could distinguish the sound of
firing by this time, and it's continuous
volume convinced me that Caton's
estimate of the number engaged was
not greatly overdrawn. AS we topped
the summit of the hill great burst
of red fire leaped suddenly high into
the sky.
Great God, Wayne! we are too
late!" he cried wildly. "Those devils
have fired the house"
With fercely throbbing heart l
gazed down at the flames far below in
the black valley.
NO." said with eager relief. 1T is
the stable which is ablaze. See, the
light falls full upon the white side
of the house. Thank Heaven, we are
not too late"
AS I sat my horse there, gazing
down upon that scene of black rapine,
unwilling to venture into its midst
until could formulate some definite
plan Of action, fully a dozen wild
schemes thronged into my brain, only
to be cast aside, one after another, as
thoroughly impracticable.

1t, and trust in Cod" said Cation
guessing at my dilemma.
NO." l answered firmly, "there
would be no possibility of success in
such course. Those fellows are old
hands, and have picAets out. See
Cation, that is certainly pickst-tire
yonder where the road dips. Every
man of us would be shot down before
we penetrated those guard lines and
attained the house. We have got tc
reach their inner line some way
through strategy, and even then must
risk being fired upon by our own PEG
pie before we get within cover"

formation, were running across the
open space toward us.
"'Bout facet" I shouted. LOAD at

We poured one scattering volley
into them. 1t halted their movement
for a moment, and then the door
opened a scant crack.

"Yes; for Gods sake. open up!"
