MRS. WHIFFEN, THE
FIRST AMERICAN
"BUTTERCUP."

Can you imagine a woman acting on
the legitimate stage for fifty years and
then going into vaudeville at the age
Of seventy one? Well, it has hap
pened. The woman is Mrs. Thomas
Whiffen.
Vaudeville is my final theatrical
venture-my last experiment she
said. II have always sought new ex-
periences. and | hope TO learn much IN
the realm of the varieties"
Ffty-one years ago Mrs. Whifen
was blanche Cation, making her debut
in London. After her marriage 10
Thomas WhifFeu the pair came t.
America to play in light opera. In
1879. when "Pinafore" was given its
first performance in New York. Thorn
as Thiffen was the Admiral and Mrs.
Whiffen was Little Buttercup-the
first Little Buttercup in America.
"A cynical friend who was Informed
OF this fact says Mrs. Whiifen, "as-
serted that there were as many FIRST
Little Buttercups' as there were an
cestors on the Msyflower, and declared
his intention of forming an amiable
society OF the survivors. However
cynical he may be, there could have
been only one first Little But
tercup. The immutable laws of cres-
ton, Of space and time preclude there
having been a simultaneous furry Of
Little Buttercups. The stage is not
a china closet in which may be suS-
pended a set of Little Buttercups, OF
any other kind Of cups. | was the first
in the L. s. A"

COUNTY ELECTION CON-
 MISSIONERS NAMED
Hardest Fight nj Phillips Couu- ty-MeSSrs. M. w. GreeSOn, Joe A. Hood and k. DeLaugh- ter Appointed for Nevada.

Little Rock, Sept 8.-With the ex- ception of Crittended, Johnson and Woodruff, the State Board of Election Commissioners yesterday afternoon completed the selection of the county election commissioners. It was agreed, however, that they were not to be made public until this morning, when Gov Hays issued the official list for the 72 counties. The three remaining counties will be settled Sept. 15.
 No change was made in the Pulaski commissioners, R. l.. Thompson and A. L. Busby, Democrats, and H. F. Stewart, Republican, being retained. The principal fight was on Stewart, by the Republicans, who questioned his party loyalty.
 The hardest fight was made for Phillips county. The Frank Kitchens faction won out, securing the appoint ment of B. J. Cunningham, c. P, San 0ers Democrats, and l. l. Maas, Re- publican. These are the men who were recommended by a majority of the nominees, by 19 out of 21 of the members of the county central com- mittee Frank Kitchen and Judge J. M. Jackson were present at the hear ing as the representatives of that faction.
 In, h, T Government League recommended Joe Butts and Lee Pendergrast. The representatives of this faction were former Congressman R. B. Macon, Lee Pendergrass, Greenfield Quarles, J. w. Dennison, Sam Cook, Watt Bush, and Dr. Richardson. A third and smaller faction was represented by Sheriq Amos Jarman, who made a fight on Cunningham, insisting upon the appointment of J. l. Mckee. Much of the soiled political linen of Phillips county was given a liberal airing.
 As announced officially by Gov Hays this morning, the appointment for Nevada county are;
 Democrats, M. w. Greeson, Pres cott Joe A. Hood, Emmet; Republi- can, E. DeLaughter, Boughton.
 The Prohibitionists made hard fight for recognition all over the state, and in probably fifty-fve of the counties they secured majority of 4l,o ao,,,p,i SiCDarc fovoro hla to tho "drys.'

AMERICANS BEST BOMB
 AND GRENADE THROWERS

Port Royal S. C., Sept. S.-Ameri- cans are latently the best bomb and grenade throwers in the world ani are capable of waging wonderful trench warfare in case of hostilities, say United States Marine Corps off cers in charge of recruit training at this place.
 "The average American youth early learns to throw a baseball with speed and accuracy and it is because of that, we, as a nation, are especially fitted to wage the modern war of the trenches. Baseball is encouraged at all our sta tions and the skill displayed by ma rines-even untrained recruits-in the bomb and grenade throwing practice is really remarkable" said Drill Ser geant Moore today.

REPORT OF SELLING
 CAUSES A DECLINE
Market Slump is Large-Close is 2S to 37 Points DOwn-At- tribute Decline in Liverpool to Increased Southern Selling.

New York, Sept. 7.-Reports of continued free Southern selling were followed by a further and even more severe decline in the cotton market here today. December contracts. for instance, sold off to 15.33c in the late trading, or 32 points under last nights closing price and III points under the high record of last Friday. Closing prices were easy at the lowest of the day or from 2S to 37 points under last nights final figures.
 Private cables attributed the decline in Liverpool to increased Southern selling and there were Southern sell ing orders around the ring here at the opening.
 First prices were barely steady, at a decline of 3 to 13 points in conse- quence, and the market broke some 20 to 30 points below last nights close before the end of the morning. At this level offerings subsided and there were rallies of some 10 to Is points from the lowest on covering, but the buying was by no means aggressive, and the market developed renewed weakness during the middle of the afternoon, owing to reappearance afternoon, owing to reappearance of Southern selling orders. Scatter ing long accounts doubtless have been considerably reduced on the early de- cline, as stop orders had been uncov- cred below the 15 l-2c level, but liqui- dation again became active with Oc- tober selling off to 1519c, January to 15.40c and March to 15.66c. Houses with Southern connections were sell CTS of October right up to the close.
 Cotton futures closed easy.
