known to the Pine Bluff public to need an elaborate introduction at this time. "s eiii'
 Prof. McNeil and Miss Clegg are planlsts and piano teachers whose re- coras are credit to this city and whose reputation extends far beyond Fine Bluff. Prof McNeil will also appear in the role of vocalist MISS Ethel Schloss and Jessie Banks are both possessors of excen- tlonally sweet voices, and it would he difficult and delicate task to de- eide which is the more popular of the two, either as a singer or in a personal way. It is sufficient to say that they have both acquired a host ol admlrlng friends by their work in the past.
 MISS Broadstreet surely requires no introduction in this city. No singer stands higher in Pine Bluff, and no first-c1ass pl ogram would be complete without her cooperation.
 The work of Rev. Wood may ha ! looked forward to as one of the pleas ant surprises of the evening. especial ly by those who know of him in his capacity as one of the city's most popular ministers, but not as one of our sweet singers. This will le his first appearance in this role since his recent illness, and his many friends are anticipating the event with much pleasure.
 TWO delightful numbers on the pro- gram will be represented by the Coterle chorus, composed of Mesdames f'erguson, Foster, Dancy and Miss Schloss; and the Male Quartette, com posed of Messrs. Bahlau, McNeill, Adams and Humphrey Both of these groups are popular favorites, the | voices are excetionally well blended and their selections are always of the best
 The duet by Mrs. Foster and Miss Elliott can not fail to be treat in the opinion of those who have fre- quently heard the work of these lad ies on the piano. Both are prominent members of the Musical Coterie, and their services are in constant demand. Miss Eilbott is the regular organist at the Temple
 Last, but by no means least, there comes a group of five talented chil- dren whose work would alone consti- ute a very fine program. Miss Hen rietta BreWter has, at the age of 15, already required an enviable reputa- tion as most charming singer. Miss Elsie Waldron is we'll known for her clever recitations, and is especially entertaining in rendering negro dia- lect as she will do on this occasion Miss Sarita Strauss is another prom. ising young elocutionist whose work has often won her high commendation her pantomime will be accompanied by one of the most famous readers of this state, whose name we are not permit
 ted to announce at this time Misses Eunice and Ernestine Norris, who vii
 sing a duet, can always be depended on to give selections of a high charac
 ter, and they never fa1i to win grea
 and sincere applause.
 The doors and all of the floor ar
 engagements will be exclusively il charge of number of the young la
 dies of the Temple.

cal bed time is ignored in favor of an
artificial hour dictated by drugs more or
less injurious, somnolently speaking.
A third reason obviously Is the evening
entertainment habit, despite the necessity
of early rising for work. How numerous
are the theater-mad and the opera-mad
and the bridge-mad In our day, and
generation needs no emphasis, and they
unduly waste the sleep-time.
A last reason that may be recalled for
our sleep deficiency is the vicious circle
Of nerve-cell exhaustion that makes sleep
scanty and incomplete. The causes of
this are both too trite and too numerous
for proper discussion here, but among
them are some that are underestimated.
For example. the almost continual light
and sound stimulation (rhythmic electric
signs, milkmen, automobile horns, etc.
to which dwellers OF the large towns are
now, day and night, subject would wear
out the strongest mechanism while GER
tainly the neurones are the most delicate

height. thick-set, with a well-shaped
head. His hair is thin and slightly gray
and his mustache is iron-gray. His face
is wonderfully mobile and expressive. His
black eyes are penetrating and he can

The grievance of the lower classes, II,
indeed, they realize that they have any.
Is TO be found in the poverty resulting
in part at least from the immense reve-
nue. necessary to maintain the president

What the better classes think is not
known for certain. but 1t is through them
that for fourteen years Cabrera has
maintained a military dictatorship. "a.
Yet many Americans resident here told
members OF the Knox party that no
other government is possible and that
Cabrera's absolutism was better than
ceaseless revolutions; that the United
States could not hope to do more with
Cabrera than awe him into being 'rea-
sonably good" and so protect the neigh
boring governments from encroachment.

Women Will Enter

NEW YORK. March 3.-women are 10

tional championship tournaments OF the
Amateur Fenoers' league Of America.
That was the declaration of DR.. Graern,
NJ. Hammond. president of the league.
and he even went further in stating that
the Fencers club OF New York was about
to inaugurate series OF weekly solrees
In which teams of women fencers, with
foils, would meet teams OF men,
According to several Of the leading Of
ficials OF the league the interest among
women has been stimulated and sharpened
by the visit OF the Baroness de Meyer TO
this country and her bouts. The fair
wielders Of the steel blade are now
anxious for open competitions. The result
Is that the Amateur Fencers' league OF
America has decided to conduct cham
pionship bouts In classes for women this
season for tho first time In the history
OF fencing In this country.
Dr. Hammond was enthusiasts over
the plan. The program for the cham
pionship titles and the divisions remains
to be determined upon" he said. THE
league will officially offer the usua
medals. but II is likely that Colonel Rob-
ert N. Thompson also viii offer
valuable trophy as a prize for a team
match, or something OF that sort. as he
has been greatly interested in furtherins
the sport Of fencing among women In
this country. Some months ago Colonel
Thompson even went so far as to &c,
Charles latham. W. Scott o'connor and
others to suggest lists OF women feneers
who might be prevailed upon TO come u
open competition. The appearance Of the
Baroness de Meyer the interest shown
by the Colony club and other incidents
have brought the women forward. 50 that
fencing bouts promise to become even
more popular than bridge"

Perhaps the second most efficient rea-
son why we sleep so little Is the general
use OF grey matter stimulants-coffee,
tea, cocoa, tobacco, alcohol. all or one
