IRISH DEPLORE
LOUVIAN'S LOSS
University Of Louvain Was
for Centuries Great Col
lege for Irish.

London, Sept. 22-In spite of the
controversy over the exact extent to
which the ancient city of Louvain
was damaged. the allies contending
that the Germans practiced vandal-
ism and destroyed priceless architec-
tural and art works, while the Ger
mans declare they left the greater
portion Of the town unframed, it is
certain that the great university
there was demolished.
The destruction of Louvain has
brought a pang to the hearts of the
Irish people, for the university Of
Louvain was for centuries the great
university for Irish students, and es-
pecially ecclesiastical students, there
being no such institution in Ireland
itself. Salamanca in Spain and
Quimbra in Portugal were others,
and the Irish college in Paris-a much
later foundation than the offers
also did good work for Irish educa
ton; but Louvain was the one most
intimately connected with this coun-
try.
During the last two centuries or SO
it has turned out over three hundred
Irish priests and nearly thirty Irish
bishops and archbishops and it was
the principal center of the education
of the Irish priesthood right through
the century of the penal laws up to
the establishment of Maynooth in 1893,
project which was warmly support
ed by the British government, because
it was thought that the education OF
the Irish clergy on the continent, and
especially in France, was inmical to
the interests of the state.
Many of the priests educated at
Louvain went on the mission, in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centur-
les, to other countries in Europe, but
the majority came back to Ireland
at the risk of their lives.
There was another tie between Ire
land and Louvain university, the tie
of Irish learning. The Times, the
other day, after the burning, stated
that the library of the university con-
tanned 10000 volumes of priceless
manuscripts" and large number
of these were Irish.
Indeed, when the Four Masters pro.

cotton Mill
FUND" GROWS
Cotton Valued at $4,000 Is
Pledged to Aid in Making
Up Bonus for Factory.

Like snow ball rolling down hill,
the Pine Bluff travelling Een's move
ment to raise cotton fund" as a
bonus for the establishment of a
cotton mill 10 the city is growing as
every day.
j. C. Chestnut, the father Of the
idea, has already secured pledges of
forty bales and $25 in cash. One OF
these bales was pledged by Mack
Cook, travelling for the Riley COM
pany. Mr.. Cook heartily endorsed
the plan, said he could get bunch
Of cotton and intended to do it.
With more than 100 travelling men
at work on the plan, it is believed
that little time will elapse before sui
ficient cotton will have been pledged
to insure the erection and operation
here of a cotton mill, the mere pres
ence of which will add at least L cent
TO the value Of cotton offered for sale
here.
The travelling men will meet at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon to make
reports Of their success and to form
an organization to carry out the cot
ton mill for Pine Bluff plan. Five
hundred bales of cotton will be equiv
alent to a cash bonus of $4,000
and the travellers anticipate no diff
Guilty in securing that amount, or
more if the capacity OF the mill will
Justify it. None Of the big cotton
growers have been solicited, and each
is counted upon to contribute llber-
ally.
Mr.. Chestnut, who was at one time
engaged at the Cotton Belt shops re-
calls that Pine Bluff gave "a bonus OF
$50 900 to secure the shops. SIX
hundred men were added to the clty's
skilled labor contingent, and the 30
600 has been paying large dividends
ever since

Saves Aged Elm.

At meeting yesterday of the COM
missioners of the Tamo pike-Ohio
street paving district, at which MEM
bers of the East Pine Bluff Civic
league were present, it was decided
that the large elm tree standing in
the middle of the road on Ohio street
between Eighth and Ninth avenues
should be spared and that eight feet
of the street on each side should be
paved.
The tree is said to be IS years old,
and members of the East Pine Bluff
Civic league, DESTROYS of saving it,
appeared at the meeting and urged the
commissioners of the district and
Contractor Henslee to allow the tree
to remain.
This will be accomplished by MAX
ing parkway 95 feet long and seven
wide, which the league will beautify
with flowers and shrubbery, thus add
ing to the attractiveness- of the street
and setting an example for people in
other sections of the city.

CONTINUE TODAY
PLACING COTTON
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONN

And SO the campaign will continue.
Undoubtedly there are influences az
work against the success of the plan,
the evident purpose being to permit
some few to line their own pockets
with gold at the expense Of the dis
tressed farmer and the community.
Undoubtedly there are some willing
to sell cut their country if they can
gain thereby.
But these are in the minority.
There are loyal Southerners in Pine
Bluff, and these will come to the
rescue of the farmer and circumvent
those who would beat the poor grower
out of his just due.
Buying CGtton Every where.
In contrast to the attitude of these
few right in the heart of the cotton
country is that of thousands of people
in other sections who are buying dis
tress cotton.
The Isaac Dreyfus company yes
terday received a letter from Charles
kaufman & Brothers of Chicago an
nouncing the Wholesale Clothiers as
sorfation had decided to purchase
and retire 500 bales, and suggesting
that the Dreyfus company have some
of this bought here. The suggestion
will be acted upon.
A New york financier has given in
structions to his banking agent 10
purchase 5000 bales at Memphis, and
the Quaker Oats company has IN
structed Gillespie brothers here to
purchase some distress cotton for its
account. On top OF this comes the
report from Chicago that bankers are
forming d $25,G00,000 pool to pur-
chase cotton. New York Retailers
association has taken up the move
ment and will buy distress cotton.
Little towns, big towns and medium
sized towns throughout the country
are promoting successfully buy-a-bale
movements, and thSr> IS a certainty
that the price of cotton will soon be
forced beyond 10 cents. The man
who has cotton is unwise to sell II
for less.
County Judge c. NJ. Philpot, chair
man Of the Buy-a-Bale club, has been
under his physicians orders to re-
main quiet and has been unable "
take as active part in the buy-a-bale
campaign as he desired. But the
Judge is recuperating ard Will PROB
ably be able to personally take d
hand in the placing of distress cotton.
Orders for the purchase Of dis
tress cotton are turned over to Sec
retary E. B. Bloom, who orders the
purchase and then forwards the order
to Treasurer 10 Nichol, who attends
TO the collection and other financial
details. By purchasing through the
club, the buyer assures that a farmer
actually in need will receive the ~
cents the purchaser is particularly
paying for cotton.
The ladies yesterday discovered
that many persons had bought cotton
at 10 cents outside the club, ana
many others say they will do SO. Inc
onlv objection to this plan is that it
may prevent giving OF aid to de-
serving farmers, and allow some VINO
can afford to hold cotton to work
the philathropic ones.
The ladies will continue the Work
today. If you haven't bought pale,
don't delay any longer. The country
and the city, you yourself, need the
support this purchase will provide.

BRIEF MOMENTS OF DREAMS

Both Bismarck and Pepys found
that noise enhanced the value of

weary, that what between waking and
then sleeping again one after another.
never had SO much content in all
my life"
The probability that we get snatches
of sleep at odd moments when we
suppose ourselves to have remained
continuously awake is supported, by
the phenomena of dreams. Mark
Twain accounted for his own "dlsap-
peartng visitor" by the belief that he
had unconsciously had very short
nap, and many have explained visions
of ghosts as due to dreams during
such short maps. E
For nothing Is better established in
connection with dreams than that an
apparently very long one can occur
during an almost 1nfinitesimal time.
Alfred Maury had long, vivid dream
Of the reign of terror, including the
trial Of himself and his execution, and
was able to show that 1t all happened
during the moment Of awakening by
the fall Of a rod from the bed canopy

you don't mean to say you are go

lenged Ned Davies with mingled In
dignation and amazement.
Don't take fire SO readily, young
man." advised Mr.. Wade with his
quaint accustomed smile, "or I'll dis
charge you, and then where are your
dreams of bIiss7"
That's So" half smiled Ned.
Being SO, you haven't much real
business backing except through your
old uncle, hey?" inquired Mr.. Wade.
well, I'm right with you, boy. and I'll
leave you quite little fortune-pro-
vided you do what tell you to do.
First and foremost, you will postpone
this marriage for time. That Is the
decision OF both the judge and my
SELF"
why, what for?" demanded the
ardent young lover breathlessly.
We'll. we want to see you show the
stuff you're made Of. The judge likes
you and ali that, but he wants to see
you demonstrate some initiative as a
business man before he entrusts his
daughter to your care. I've sugges-
ton to make that solves the whole
proposition"
Ned looked dreadfully downcast and
disappointed. but showed respectful
attention while his uncle proceeded:
Ten years ago went out to Idaho
without a dollar. worked hard, met
q loyal hearted old miner who helped
me out and came back with a modest
fortune. I'll give you a better start.
I shall prese~' >ou with five thou

did investment opportunities out on
the Golconda range. I'll give you n
letter to the kind old friend who was
so helpful to me. Then it's up to you
to make good"
Thus it was that Ned Davies found
himself a new arrival at the little bor-
der mining town Of Hopeton at the
