was no longer surprised; at least she
never evinced this emotion. For
twelve years now she had gone from
one end Of the globe to the other, upon

was lost to her or under such con-

shivered with pleasurable excitement
at the thought of entering a port.

Celeste looked up. Mrs. Chedsoye

"You are wonderful, Madame!"
And so are you, Celeste, in your

At ten o'clock Mrs. Chedsoye was
ready for her pillow. She slept flt-
fully; awoke at eleven and again at
twelve. After that she knew nothing
more till the maid reused her with
the cup OF chocolate. She sat up and
slipped slowly. Celeste waited at the
bedside with the tray. Her admira.

Mrs. Chedsoye was just as beautiful

they wanted opportunity to mature their

John McVay continues to grow ! weaker, but there was little change i'll his condition yesterday. He still lies on a cot in the county jail, moaning and rolling from side to side in rest 1 less silence. He tried to talk yester- l day, but the few words that he mur- mured were not understood. Deputy Sheriff R. H. Williams remained with McVay throughout yesterday and was relieved last night by Deputy Sheriff c. c. Green. A negro attendant was with them.
 "McVay is growing weaker and weaker every day." said Dr. Asa Brunson, the county physician. last night. He is taking little nourish- ment, not enough to keep a man alive for any length of time. His pulse was 130 when I saw, him last today. I do not see how he can live many more days, although it is one of those cases that you cannot tell when death will occur, but he may die at any moment
 Although Dr. J. l.. Greene, the alienist, did not promise that death would result from the ailment from which Mcvay is suffering, he stated, when he examined him several days ago, that he did! not think he would live longer than Wednesday noon Of this week.
 McVay's respite expires Thursday night.

SHORTER HOURS FOR
 LUMBER COMPANY EMPLOYEES

The employees of the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber Company have received notice that they will be al- lowed to quit two hours earlier on each Saturday without reduction in pay. The order was effective last Saturday.
 A ten--hour. day has been the rule at the big industrial plant for many years but the officials consider that the financial loss to the company, which will exceed $100,000 a year, will more than be offset by the ami cable feeling that will be engendered between men and the firm by the new order.
 The employees immediately express ed their appreciation by forwarding a letter ot thanks to the officials of the company at Kansas City.

 lice Officers.

At meeting of the city council last night twenty-one blocks in the Eastern city limits were annexed to the city, after the county court had issued an order of annexation. The new city territory lies East of Ohio street, between Ohio and Indiana streets and Seventh and Ohio street, between Ohio and Indiana streets and Seventh and Eleventh avenues. The property owners, more than 300 in number, were anxious to come into the city and they petitioned the coun- ty court to bring them in.' The property included in the new territory is valued at more than $1O0,o00.
 At the same time the council creat- ed new sewer district, to be known as Sewer District No. 16, to include fin it the annexed territory and eight blocks already in the city limits, west of Ohio street.
 The council also ordered the city engineer to reconstruct the sewer on Main street, between Second and Third avenues, before the new car tracks are laid on Main street. The city engineer was also ordered to re- construct a sanitary sewer in the lake bed between Walnut and Chest nut streets and to construct storm sewer along the Catholic cemetery property on Pullen street.
 New helmets for eight policemen were also ordered purchased and $100 was deducted from the light bill of the Pine Bluff Company, before the December bill was allowed. Alder man Well wanted to disallow the en- tire bill, pending the installation of new lights where the service has been defective, but Alderman Chesnutt's motion to disallow just $100 carried.

TRUST PRESS AFTER WADE
A few weeks ago Municipal Judge
Wade, fro mhis bench, asked strike
breaker to take a change of venue,
frankly admitting that he didn't be-
heVe in Don-unionism.
Ever since the newspapers have
been trying to "get" him. Any one
who announces himself in favor Of
unionism is sure to earn their hatred.
The attack on Wade has been led by
the Tribune and the Inter-Ocean.
