FAREWELL DINNER ID DR. HUTCHINSON "City Doctor Returns to New York to Make Report to City Beautiful. A CITY CORPORATION
 / He Says Mayor is the Manager and Aldermen Make Up Board of
 Directors. 
A CITY CORPORATION

OlllCidlS Ol JI0 OlCy OcduClIuI NHuU, the first woman's organization in the United States so far as the Bureau of Municipal Research o.. .cials are in- formed, to bring about a survey of the |city government; city officials and oth- CTS interested in the work undertaken here by the ladies, yesterday rendered Dr. J. H. Hutchinson, the "city doc tor" farewell dinner at the private dining room of the Hotel Jefferson. The dinner was faultlessly served and there were number of prominent people present. Owing to personal business during the noon hour, Mayor Simon Bloom sent his regrets and ex- pressed his disappointment at not be- ing able to attend.
 After the luncheon an address was made by Dr. Hutchinson, in which he thanked those present for the courtesy and in which he also reviewed the work he had undertaken here. He re- turned to New York yesterday after noon and will spend several weeks in getting up his report for the City Beau tiful Club. The report will 1ecom- mend changes and system in the city departments, new taxation system Hutchinson claims, if carried out, be most beneficial to the city of Pine Bluff and eventually place the city government on sound financial basisa as we'll bring its,zdepartment service up to a high standard of excellence. Dr. Hutchinson in the course of his talk said the city was big corpora tion, that the success of the business of this corporation was up to the tax payers, who are practically the stock holders in the bigiconcern. The mayor lof the city is the business manager, the city council the board of directors and it's selling products are it's streets, water and light service, fire, sanitary and police protection and other pro- ducts that come under various minor departments. These products he said, ought to be sold to the public at cost lInefficiency, it was stated, increases their cost and efficiency reduces it.
 The significance of the recent sur- vey is that group of progressive and public spirited women have manifested Fenough interest in city affairs to
 bring about general study on the
 part of all the people in this city o1
 conditions with a strong possibility o1 remedying the defects.
 A telegram was read from Mayor Charles E. Taylor, of Little Rock, to
 the City Beautiful, in which he con-
 gratulated the ladies and Pine Bluff
 general upon being the first city ir the state to take such a progressive
 step-in it's survey movement.
 Those present at the dinner were:
 Mrs. N. B. Trulock, president of the
 City Beautiful Club; Dr. J. H. Hut
 crimson, Rabbi Jasin and wife, J. H
 Trucker, Jr, of the Young Mems Pro
 gressive Business League; Misses

Rain Making FaiIacIes.

The United States weather bureau
has many times given its opinion that
the production Of rain at time when
It would not otherwise have fallen can
not be brought about by any means in
the power Of man. The enormous
weight Of air in a storm cloud of even
moderate extent prevents our believing
that discharge of powder or dynamite
can affect the cloud. Even II a great
shock could be given to the air. there is
no reason to believe that a shock can
condense water vapor to water drops.
producing cloud in. clear air and caus-
ing a downfall of rain from the cloud
thus formed. Water vapor is not con-
densed into water by a shock. 1t is
condensed by cooling. The popular no
ton that rain is caused by great bat
ties or other explosions is regarded by
scientific men as entirely erroneous

"Homs, Sweet Home" Too PstnsucI
Home. Sweet Home" the song Of
homeless American. once moved Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson to an outburst Of
passionate protest But 1t was the
music rather than the words that
reused his indignation. You will find
the passage In Across the Plains" 1T
have no idea whether unsteady this
air is to be considered good or bad. but
1t belongs to that class Of art which
may best be described as a brutal as
sault upon the feelings. Pathos must
be relieved by dignity Of treatment
II you wallow naked in the pathetic.
like the author Of Home. Sweet
Home you make your hearers weep

while they are moved they despise

Watched the Jockeys.

When the Derby was first founded
the stewards used to ride along the
course to watch the competitors. A
separate steward was detailed for each
horse. and his duty was to see there
was no interference with that horse or
his Jockey by the other competitors or
the public. In a picture Of the Derby
Of 1871 by J. n. Sartc-ius one Of the
stewards can be seen riding along say
" some lengths In front OF the winner
