"rHE MERRY CoryTEsS,.

'The Eye Opener at the Efks' Theater.
 According to the customary rules in the tbeatrical4li line in the south and to follow the idea that Manager nlll has had in making Pine Bluff as good q theatrical city as there is in the south hc has secured the big produce tion, "'Fhe Merry Countess" for the Elks' Theater opener and there could not have been a better company brought here for this event. The cast and production is the same as that in the larger cities and the one that Cornilus Vanderbilt paid $1oOoo per minute to.haye it come from New York to Newport to entertain the society of that places ! Below is criticism that was given the show in Atlanta by the Atlanta Georgian:
 Clever is d greatly misused and agused word. They have applied it 10 everything, even to some newspa- per reporters, until it means about as much as a story of the death of King Alenelik or the dissolution of trust.
 Too bad. With it's primitive signi- ficance it might have been handy term for "The Merry Countess" show which opened at the Atlanta Theater FriGay evening for two night perform anoes and a matinee.
 X considerable show-starved audi encc was there. Most of those who at tended came eXperimentally, as The Merry Countess" was practically au unknown quantity. 1t promised much with it's Strauss music and with glow ing annoencements from those cities Where it has been presented. So At lanta went, tentatively.
 The promise was realized. "The Merry Countess proved bright anu entertaining, it's music fascinating and it's lines sparkling. The show is very light, it is true. but even with its farce like triviality it is to be accorded a place somewhere near that indefinable line that technically separates musi- cal comedy from light opera.
 There is spice enough in the show. Pitched in fashionable circles of Aus tria, there is that essence of attrac- tive naughtiness in "The Merry Coun- tess" that in the popular Imagination is attached to the gay life of the Con tinent. But there is nothing in the hu- mor--and il is all humor--that Smacks of yulgarity, although the sense of fit ness was jared now and then by the introduction of rank Americanisms in

AT THE ORPHEO

An unusually powerful drama. The Call.' viii De presented at the Orpheo today. The Call" is a two- part Vitagraph Special Feature and is one of the strongest photo-plays of it's kind that has been produced telling the story of a mans revenge upon false friend and showing the manner in which his unruly passions finally recoil upon himself. The manner in which the plot of the play has been worked out deserves special comment for it's originality of treat ment.
 Ed Wilson, failure ill life, seeing that his wife is unhappy and that she loves another man better than him self, frees her and goes away to begin life again i'll the Northwest some years later, when he has managed to accumulate a considerable fortune. hs learns that his wife had been neglect ed shamefully by her Yew husband and that she had, as it was thought, died as a result of his ill-treatment. Ed at once comes East, determined to be revenged upon his former rival whom he regards as the woman S murderer.
 He seeks out his victim and re- duces him to state of terror by con- stantly reminding him that he is near but delaying the final act of vengeance until the man is almost re- duced to insanity. Finally he enters his rivals house and accomplshes his end, although he is himself mcrtally wounded in the struggle and dies in few moments after his victim.
 The railroad wreck ill which Tom is supposed victim, is the most daring piece of realism ever attempt ed It was an actual occurrence and challenges belief.
 The ever popular Pathes weekly will also be shown with a strong Lubin western drama.

o the tale of these Austrians.

1 to the tale Of these AuStrlanS.
 Much is being said here in praise of "The Merry Countess" Still, it is necessary to go bit further, and say that the voices of the cast were ex- cellent, easily up to the harmonious Estandard of the Strauss music, that the dancing of the well-drilled and not too-eyident chorus was pretty, and that the costumes had an attrac- tive freshness Hence, the ensembles naturally were pleasing.
 Two dances particularly were at tractive, that of Veta Florenz, premier of the ballet, in the second act, and the dance in the third act of the two young women, whose 1egs-no; your eyes did not deceive yotl-were frank ly bare.
 Ability to sing must be accorded Dale Winter, who played Ill1a. the parler maid and Mabel Baker, as Countess Rosalinda Cliquot, Strauss score was not exaeting, but it was full of nice melodies that demanded vocal ability.
 Among the men, Carl Haydn, who played truthfully the part of Gabor Szabo, a Hungarian flirt, and Arthur Clough, as Count Cliquot, had capa- ble voices. The comedy characters were sufficiently funny, especially Harry Carter, as Prince Orloffsky, and Jack Henderson, as Mattori, the sad-eyed warden of the prison.
 The story of the show is that of 1 harmless love intrigues and flirta tions among gay Austrians. At times the foreign tone is true. but ill the second and third acts there is little evidence of it in any of the lines or situations.

Forrest City Sept. 17.-Wlile sitting { at the table eating her supper Tuesday evening. Mrs, Hattie Williams, divorce ed wife af NJ. E. tEtleyl Williams, was murdered from ambush. sss The murderer shot her in the back through a window, supposedly with an automatic shotgun.
 Suspicion rests upon the dead wo- mans divorced husband from whom she had been separated since early in the spring.
 After Mrs. Williams had been grant ed a divorce by Chancellor Robertson, Il suit fer the custody of the children was brought before County Judge E, X. Rolfe. which was also won by Mrs. Williams.

"lEND A MILLION"
Method of Negotiating Loans In New
York's Stock Exchange.


The machinery of lending money on
the New York Stock Exchange is very
different from the machinery of max
ing individual loans. On the Stock
Exchange all loans are handled by
brokers. members of the exchange. who
represent the banks. These brokers
form what is known as the money
crowd" which on Il day of 30 per cent
money becomes rather animated. Nine
tenths of the money loaned on call by
banks is loaned by these brokers. When
bank has $1,000,000 to lend on call
the cashier calls up his money broker
on the exchange and says curtly to the
telephone clerk. Lend million" The
clerk rushes the order to the broker.
who offers the $1.0O0,O00 to the high
est bidder in the money crowd" in
much the same way as a broker on
the Chicago board of trade would offer
1000 bushels of wheat.
In an active money market the ST.
100000 will be snapped up in a minute.
In that case the cashier will be called
up on the telephone. to hear the money
brokers clerk say hurriedly. Loaned
a million for you to John Smith & Co
at per cent" The giving and filling
Of such an order take a. five min
utes. In an so per cent money market,
when brokers are clamoring for money.
1t may be done in two minutes.
The brokers' connection with the
transaction ends when he has notified
the bank Of the borrowers name and
the rate agreed on. The borrower
takes his collateral to the bank, where
properly checked up by the loan clerk,
and cashiers check is then given for
the amount of the loan. Whether the
borrower pays .. G. 20 or 80 per cent
for his money depends wholly on the
amount there is to lend md the extent
of the demand. If oI.000,000 has been
sent to the "money crowd" to put out
and speculation Is so dull that only
| $10.000,000 is required to carry the
stocks bought it is safe to say that the
borrower will pay only per cent.
During a period Of extremely easy
money rates thousands of loans are
made on call at | per cent and some
times one-half of per cent. If, on the
other hand, the Stock Exchange mem
bers wish to borrow $5O,000,O00 and
the banks offer that day only $10,-
100000. as they often did in panic
times. the borrower may have to bid
as high as 80 per cent for his money.
At that rate he would pay S2,222 day
for the use Of the $1,00O00O. - New

Obituary..

Mary Elizabeth Worley, daughter,
of stephen and Lydia Worley, was
born near New Petersburg, o., April
25, 1888, died at her home on the even
ing of May II, 1913, aged IS years and
22 days.
She was married to William Spence,
February l, 1856. OF the children born
to them, one in the early blush Of
wonanhood, was called away to an
other land. They who are left are
three daughters, and two sons. These
with sister and two brother, nine
grandchildren, many relatives and a
hosts of friends and neighbors realize
that a mother, a sister, grandmoth-
er, friend and neighbor is indeed
gone.
For many months she has been a
sufferer, and for long time has not
been able to come and 60 as she was
want to do in earlier days, because of
slight paralysis which seized upon
her.
She was lover Of all that was good;
In her home life she sought to make
things pleasant, as those who have
had the good fortune to be entertained
in her home will testify. She was a
lover of flowers and the many she used
to have we're joy to behold.
Her life was apart from the crowd.
She did not push herself forward she
was not self-assertive. What good
she did was done not for show, but be.
cause her heart prompted her to do it,
because of a fellow-feeling she had fol-
others. She was member of the
Friends church; her religion was not
a religion of. the head or of the
emotions, but one Of the heart, relig.
ion that showed itself in the willing
ness to help others, to be of service in
time of sickness or distress. 1t just
seemed natural for her to feel fol
others woe.
She is with us no longer, perhaps al
the good she might have done was not
done; but she did well, she made the
world better for having been par,
of it. Her pains are over, sorrows anC
heartaches are things unknown where
she now is, and the house of clay where
she used to live is beneath the flowers
which she loved so well.

Fifty years or so ago the Grand
Duchess Olga, the beautiful favorite
daughter of Car Nicholas l., was on
the point of eloping with a handsome
young lieutenant. Bariatinski, when at
the last moment her swain's heart
failed him. Dreading the emperor's
anger, he made clean breast of the
whole affair to his majesty, with the
result that the impulsive young prin-
cess was married posthaste to the dis
reputable Prince Charles of Wurttem-
berg, while the faithless lover was re-
warded by such rapid promotion that
he was a field marshal before he
reached his fiftieth birthday.

On Box Hill, in Surrey, may be seen

own special request, buried upside
down in a coffin placed in a marble
