TWO BOYS WERE
 ENTICED AWAY Sons of Arthur Young and Alderman Chesnutt Dis appeared Yesterday. ANOTHER BOY BLAMED School Children Say Luther La Fer. ney Induced Them to Leave
 the City.

Percy Young, IA years old, son of MT. and Mrs. Arthur Young, of No 1909 East Fifth avenue, and Roy Chestnut, 13 years old, son of Alder man and Mrs. P. C. Chesnutt. of Mo- 1907 East Seventh avenue were miss ing from the homes for several hours last night and their parents, Sheriff Brewster and his deputies were mak ing every effort to learn something of their whereabouts, when they return ed home at about 10 o'clock.
 The boys were enticed from the First Ward School yesterday after noon, after they had been dismissed with the other pupils for the day and it was stated by number of their lit . tie playmates that Luther La Ferney, Is years, whose parents live on East Seventh avenue, and who is said to have recently made several trips away from home staying for weeks at a time, induced them to leave the city yesterday afternoon with him.
 Accorring to the pupils who left the school with the Young and Chestnut boys, La Ferney told the boys that if they accompanied him they could have anything they wanted and also a good time.' The boys consented to do so, said the playmates, and when Mrs. Chesnutt was informed of the plan she hlrriedly tried to locate her son, but the trio had disappeared. They did not show up at nightfall last night and after a thorough search, which revealed no news of them, MT. Young reported the matter to Sheriff Brewster. That official notified off cers in all surrounding towns to watch out" for the youngsters.
 Neither the Young boy nor the Chesnutt boy had ever left their homes without telling their parents where they were going. The parents of the boys were greatly excited last night an dthe mothers of the lads were al- most prostrated.
 The boys said they went to Fordyce on a freight train and returned on a freight train. The La Ferney boy re- turned at the same time, but said he knew nothing of the other boys. They insist however, that he accompanied them.

DICKENS AS HE WAS IN 1889
interesting Description of Great Writer Published in the knicker-
 booker of That Year.

In person he is a little above the standard height, though not tall. His figure is slight, without being meagre, and is we'll proportioned. The face, that first object of physical interest, Is peculiar, though not remarkable. An ample forehead is displayed under quantity of light hair, worn in a mass on one side rather jauntily, and this is the only semblance of dandyism in his appearance. Ills brow is marked and his eye, though not large, is bright and expressive. The most regular feature is the nose, which may be called handsome; an epithet not applicable to his lips, which are too large. Taken altogether. the countenance, which is pale without sickliness, is in repose extremely agreeable and indicative of great re-
 dnement and intelligence
 MT. Dlckenc' manners and conversa- tfon, except perhaps in the perfect abandon among his familiars, have no exhibition of particular wit, much less of humor. He is mild in the tones of his voice, and quiescent, evincing habitual attention to etiquette and the conventionalisms of polished circles. His society is much sought after, and, possibly to avoid the invitations press- cd upon him, he does not reside in London, but with lovely wife and two charming children occupies a re treat in the vicinity He is about 26 years of age. but does not lock more than 23 or "A. MT. Dickens is en. tirely self-made, and rose from an humble station by virtue ot his mora. worth, his genius and his industry.- From the Knickerbocker, August, 1889.

 THAN CHURCH TONIGHT
Christ's Imaginary Visit To This ,lty Was Interestingly Related Last
 Night.

Dld Christ Rise From the Dead?' Will be the subject of Allen Wilson's sermon tonight in the Wilson-Tuttle revival at the First Christian church The evangelist gave a special invita- tion last night to all skepticals and in- fldels to come and hear the arguments he should present in the demonstra tion of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
 As was anticipated last night his subject, "lf Christ Should Come to Pine Bluff,' filled the house to over flowing, with very thoughtful and attentive audience. For an hour the speaker held his audience spell-bound by his graphic description of his Sa- vior's visit to this city. The evan gelist dwelt at length upon what Christ would find on visiting our churches. upon what he would say about the fifty per cent of absent church members and the flimsy eX- cllses these absent members would give for not attending the services.
 Another very valuable part of his discourse was his effort to explain to Jesus as they iourneyed together over the city why more than fifty per cent Of all the adult population of the city were not members of the church. This review of the soul-destroying agencies of the city was delivered in a masterly and courageous manner. He never faiued to call spade spade. He al- so held up to the Masters joy the soul saving agencies at work in our city. On the whole the discourse was among the most fruitful of the series of most excellent discourses Mir. Will son has delivered thus far in the meet ing.

warrington, Oct. 1.-THE mOmen-
tary touch of key by the President
Of the United States Friday sent .
flash Of electricity through a continu-
Gus telegraph and cable connection of
1000 miles. setting off a gigantic
blast of dynamite which exploded the
Gamboa dixie. the last of the great
physical barriers to water communica-
ton In the Panama Canal.
1t was an extraordinary feat OF
telegraphy. especially planned for the
occasion. At precisely o'clock.
President Wilson simply by closing a
telegraph key at the White House
sent the current over land and under
sea, and just a few seconds later
came the message informing him that
the explosion had been successful
While celebrations on the Pacific
coast were numerous. there was no
ceremony in Washington, it being the
wish Of Colonel Goethals that the gov
ernment await the actual opening of
the canal. Besides the wreckage of
Gamboa dixie there are two earth
slides to be cleared away before
boats can pass from ocean to ocean.
Roar Like Distant Thunder.
Panama, Oct. 1O.-With a deep roar
and q rumble resembling heavy artil-
lsry firing at distance, thousands of
pounds of dynamite in 400 charges
were exploded simultaneously in the
Gamboa dixie. allowing the waters of
Gatun lake to trickle through into Gu
Zebra cut. This practically clears the
great waterway.
The explosion was set off by an
electric spark sent by President Will
son At the White House 1000 miles
away.
After the smoke and spray of the
heavy charge had cleared away, the
steam dredges were Immediately put
to work dredging out the channel.
When this work is completed and the
water in Gatun lake has risen to .
sufficient height to flood Culebra cut
to the forty-five foot level. the Pana-
ma Canal will be ready for navigation.
A few days ago the first water from
Gatun lake was let into Culebra cut
through several pipes, this water act
ing as cushion for the explosion.
The charges of dynamite were dis
tributed in such a manner as to
merely loosen the material composing
the dixie. allowing the water to run
through and cut its own channel.
While the waters Of Gatun lake now
flow north into the Atlantic and
south into the Pacific, much work yet
remains to be done before heavy
draught vessels can be sent from one
ocean to the other.
