COL. J. (. COLQUlTT

After a short stage of ill health, Colonel J. c. Colquitt, for years a very prominent participant in Arkan- sas politics, died at his home in Mag nolia, Wednesday morning at 10:3o o'clock.
 Col Colquitt was 65 years of age and was exceedingly we'll known all over the state, especially in political circles, and his excellent service to the people of the state won for him many warm and faithful friends. While he had not been in the best of health for the past few years, yet his condition was not considered alarm ing until several weeks ago, when he became confined to his bed. He grad ually grew worse until death came Wednesday morning.
 The aged man served two terms in the Arkansas legislature and for the past 12 years he has been in the state auditors office, serving as chief dep- uty for the past three years under John R. lobe. ' 4 k
 Col. Colquitt was candidate for state auditor at the last general cleo ton, but was defeated by very small majority by John M Oathout. The campaign made by Col. Colquitt was noted for it's quietness and absence of "mud-slinging,' etc. The large host of friends of the old gentleman, who was indeed of the true, Southern type, will mourn his death.
 He is survived by four sons, Charles G. Colquitt, Jackson, Miss; John w. Colquitt, Magnolia; Dr. Samuel w. Colquitt, McKamie, Lafayette county, and Eugene Colquitt, Little Rock and one daughter, Miss Aida Colquitt of Magnolia. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

 He came to this city about two weeks ago, and since that time has been stopping at the Fairview Hotel He was very sick Ut the time and slowly became worse until the end came yesterday afternoon. He would not discuss his family to any extent, merely saying that he had a number of relatives in Alabama and that he had not seen any of them for eight years. He had no money whatever but said he had some iii Camden. He seemed to be very well connected in a business way and hal several letters from different companies offering him responsible positions.

"A Butterfly on tne Wheel"

"A Butterfly on the Wheel which ran for such a long while both in New York and London will be the at traction at the ElkS Theater next March 24 When produced in London Lewis Waller the distinguished Eng fish actor played an important role. Mr. Waller, as everyone knows came to America last season and later, un- der the auspices of the Shuberts be- came a producer. It occurred 10 him that "A Butterfly on the Wheel' would make splendid attraction for New York so this was the first play he attempted. The success of the piece was instantaneous Now this season Mr. Waller in conjunction with the Shuberts is sersllng the com pany to all of the principal cities. This city will be one of the first wis tied.
 "A Butterfly on the VI heel' will be remembered longest doubtless on account of the realistic trial scene i'll which the ''butterfly,' a frail but

Unlike harsh physics it works gradually and in a very brief time the stomach and bowel muscles are trained to do their work naturally again, when all medi cines can be dispensed with.

THE PRINCESS OF PLESs.

London, March 13.-r'rincess of iPless, sister of George Cornwallls West, who is now separated from his famous American wife, the former Jenny Jerome, has become an ardent follower of the Higher Thought Cult, which was introduced here by pr, Julia Seton Sears, of Oscawana, New York, it's founder
 The Princess tells ho. friends that never before has she felt such con solation in any belief, and she feels that by following Dr. Saar's teachings she caf mould her brothers future and perhaps find his [. ue soul mate in this sphere of evolution.
 On the subject of soul mates Dr. Sears says:
 "When any two peop!o have passed their sphere of usefulness to one an other there should be divorce. In cur different states of evolution we are married many times, for marriage is good for people, but there is only one true marriage. In some one state of existence each of us is bound to find soulmafe.''
 Princess Pless and her brother have gone abroad for three months, and it is expected that in the meantime judicial separation of the Vests will be effected.

AT THE ORPHEO.

Rink Bolo and company, which opened at the Orpheo last evening was a decided hit. They have a chorus of six pretty girls and beautiful cos tunes. They all have good voices and Billy Wise is real black face and keeps his audience in a continu- al laugh.
 Taking this bill as whole it is one of the best that has been at the Or pheo for some time. They bill them selves as d girl show, but is far away from the ordinary musical comedy show. Tn their entire performance they offer nothing suggestive, and IS entertaining to the children as well as the groWn-up. Seibert's or chestra has a beautiful musical pro- gram for the remainder of the week

expressed great surprise this morning when informed that the New York Yacht Club had declined his challenge because it did not comply with the conditions of the deed of gift. Neither Sir Thomas nor the Royal Ulster Yacht Club has yet been offi- cially notified of the rejection of the challenge. Sir Thomas said he had not yet had time to consider whether he would amend his challenge so as to meet their demands or not. He said he would have to confer with his desig- ner on the matter
 Sir Thomas fully realizes the right of the New York Yacht Club to de- cline his challenge, because of his specification that the defender must not be over 75 feet at the waterline Sir Thomas said he fully expected the challenge would be accepted.
 'It is the duty of the challenger for the America's cup to state the size of the boat which he intends to- race, as we'll as name the day on which the races are to take place., said Sir Thomas. "In this 1 conformed entirely with the conditions of the line, which I stipulated, is larger than "The size of 75 feet on the water line, which I stipulated, is larger than that of any cutter of that type on this side of the Atlantic and bigger than any in America. with the exception of the Reliance The race would have been a good one. therefore suggest ed that they both be 75 feet on the water-line.
 "When I challenged six years ago under the universal rule which gov erns all racing in America, my chal- lenge was declined because it did not comply with the conditions of deed Of gift and, legally, the New York Yacht Club had the right to do so.
 "Now, when | challenge according to the deed of gift, my challenge IS declined because I will not allow a 9O-foot yacht to race against my 15- | footer."

they are fairly itching to get into the games. They showed all kinds of form and class and many brilliant plays were made with the ease and grace of professionals. The boys are all confident and full of scrap and pep so the series will undoubt- edly prove most exciting one
 The Jonesboro TT. P.'s" fast and husky, will arrive ill this city this morning at o'clock anG will rest the entire day for the battle royal to- night. A great deal depend on to- nights game and it will undoubtedly be 8 hard fought one.
 When the first whistle blows in to- nights game, Alexander and Thomp- son will be found at their old posi- tons. forwards. and much is expect ed from these fast fellows. Much to the delight of the ''Y" rooters. How ell will again be back at center and he is expected to star at that position. Quinn and Long will be seen at guard and the old ''reliables" will surely do their part.
 Nichols. the latest acquisition to the team, and who is likely youngster, will go in at guard during the last half and will relieve with Long or Quinn. Felix Smart is the all-around substitute and in event of any accident, the lad will fill in at any position.
 This lineup looks mighty good for the Pine Bluffians, but no real dope can be given as. the "T. P.'s" are husky boys and have won many bat ties. Coach Drew's men are clean ness, so it is expected that the ser ies will be carried off without a hitch or mar.
 The game tonight will begin promptly at s o'clock and by that time it is expected that the auditor ium of the "Y" will be filled to the brim with rooters and spectators. To- morrow morning another contest will be staged at 10 o'clock, and then at 7:30 tomorrow night the last game of the series will be held. The admis- sion will be 9 cents, but on Saturday school children will be admitted for 15 cents.
 Much interest has been aroused and it is: thought that each of the games will be largely attended
 The Jonesboro High School boys will stop over Saturday and root for their home team.
 Coach Drew's CT P.s' will leave Saturday night late, returning to Jonesboro. While here they will be entertained by the boys of the local team.
 The Jonesboro lineup is as fol- lows: Schoenfield and Johnson, for wards; Doherty, center: Stevens and Newstadter, guards.
