UGLY CORNERS"

A fine residence and grounds at the
intersection of two streets always
looks well to the citizen harboring
plenty of municipal pride. Usually it
makes no difference whether the prop
erty forms a rightangle-tha is, to
the plain citizen. But to civic beau
filters angles are termed ugly
Curved corners with big radius
are considered the real art-joy Of
modern towns.
A "before and after" picture in a
magazine aptly illustrates the differ
ence. An ugly corner'-just like
millions of other corners is shown be-
fore workmen "cured' it. The effect
later was beautifully park-life.
Shocking straight streets
are under the ban in fine residence
districts. Town architects go in for
curving streets, so that pedestrians
have new vistas of beauty opened up
to the mat every step.
Of course, the Graphic realizes that
the streets in Pine Bluff are all laid
out, and there is no change possible
on any score; but it wouldn't do bit
of harm to have additions laid out
with a view of artistic and park-hke
appearance as we'll as utility.

Sultan Ali Dinar, who had been con

mahdi's loathsome jails, was placed
on the throne and he governed his
people with all the cai1gery of an
uncivilized Eastern potentate, at the
same time maintaining friendly rela-

thorities at Cairo.
The Bull of Balls which is one

NOTE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The Graphic the other day received
letter from friend who was trying
to impart an item of news.
The Graphic very much appreciated
the item, but it was impossible to read
it,
1t was badly mangled photographic
cally-it looked like hen had walked
across the paper.
One proper name was spelled three
different ways-that much was evil
dent, though the context was a bit OF
Chinese.
Naturally, the item couldn't be
printed. The Graphic is sorry.
Correspondents sending news to a
paper should be careful to write leglb-
ly. 1t only takes few moments
longer, and it avoids mistakes. When
an item is SO doubtful in meaning that
it's publication would risk making mis-
statement in the paper, the item must,
perforce, go into the waste basket.
ANY other rule would leave the way
open for serious mistakes.
Proper names in particular should
be written very carefully. Unusual
proper names should be written in
print lettering, like this: J A N s.
S H 0 n, instead of in regular hand
writing. -

POPE BENEDICT CUpPe7.)
 517d cRRDtNAL GnSPaRRL

Pope Benedict is working daily with Cardinal Gasparri, papal sec- retary of state, in an allocution which he will deliver in secret con- sistory on Dec. 4. This allocution will be one of the most important documents issued by the papacy since the beginning of the war.
 The allocution will show, it is said, the perfect impartiality of the Holy See, which desired altogether to pre- vent the war, but, having failed used all means at its disposal to shorten the conflict, meanwhile mak- ing arrangements to alleviate the suf- ferings caused by the war without any distinction of nationality or creed of the bel1igerents., The allocution, it is reported, will make another des- perate appeal in favor of peace, in- viting the faithful throughout the world to continue their prayers with that as the object.
 The death of Emperor Francis Jo- seph of Austria-Hungary and the ac- cession to the throne of Emperor Charles have obliged the Pope to make alterations in his a11ocution. He will speak of the life of the em- peror, his attachment to religion and the church., and he will express the hope that the reign of the new ruler may soon be crowned with the bless ings of peace.

One of c. HI. Kings Transactions Aired
 in Hearing on Suit

One of Clitus H. Kings unique fi- nancial transactions was unearthed in the common pleas court today when the suit brought by the Ridge field Savings bank against Thomas L.. Sherwood of Fairfield, was tried be- fore acting Judge Miller. A deposi- ton given by King, who is at pres en+ languishing in states prison. was read to the court.
 Sherwood testified that he had property in Fairfield worth $3,000, but was unable to meet a note for $1,0OO which fell due in January, 1914. This note was held by the Mechanics' & Farmers Savings bank. Sherwood was advised to see Clitus King. who was said to have money on hand to make loans.
 King declared he had been given $250,0o0 by the Ridgefeld bank to loan on good security. In order to meet the $1,000 note Sherwood bor- rowed $1.20O. King was supposed to take this money and pay the first note. It was afterward learned he paid the Mechanics' & Farmers bank about $1O0 interest but did not pay the principal. Then he forged Jus tce Bacon wakeman's name to the mortgage deed on Sherwood's prop- erty.
 When 1t was all over Sherwood owed the Ridgefeld bank $1,200 with $107 interest and also owed the principal on the Mechanics & Farmers bank. The Ridgefie1d bank wants to recover $1.307 now. In his deposition King said he simply acted as Sherwood's attorney.
 The court reserved decision.

 weeks the Adams House, 40 Fairfield avenue, making the acquaintance of the owner, Ernest Adams. Adams alleges Cornell asked him to cash a check for $15, representing himself
 as Robert F. Myers, and signing that name to the check. He was arrested this morning by Sergeant John B. Barton.
 Cornel1s friends immediately ap- peared at police headquarters and stOutly maintained that he was inno- cent of the charge, was a man of
 means and had no motive to forge a
 check. They furnished bail for him. The police state that Cornell re-
 gently suffered 8 shock. About a
 month ago he was reported missing
 with large sum Of money. and his
 friends believed he had been mur-

COMPROMISE IN LEIGHTON WILL
 FIGHT PLANNED
Widow Who Was Cut Off Without Cent Probably
 Will Get Third.

Estella Leighton of Boston, widow of Henry A. Leighton, who died at St. Vincent's hospital here leaving an es- tate of $7,284.82 and who made will cutting the widow off without a pen ny, has withdrawn an appeal she made to the superior court and set- clement and disbursement of the es- tate probably will be made soon.
 Leighton, who at one time lived in Rockland, Me-, came here to work in the Remington Arms factory. He was an expert mechanic and com manded big wages. He was stricken ill at the railroad station and died later in the hospital. On his death bed he made will, bequeathing all he possessed to a friend. A. F. Wis ner of Rock1and.
 Mrs. Leighton opposed the admis- sion of the will here on the ground that Leighton's legal residence was in Boston and the Bridgeport probate court had no Jurisdiction. Judge Mill Ter claimed Jurisdiction and admitted the will to probate. Wisner was named executor as we'll as sole bene- ficiary. Leighton had travelled about the country working wherever he CnOSO put MTS. A01SuCOn ClclHlcu IIldL he regularly sent money for her sup port and that he returned to spend each summer with her in Boston. She admitted however that a, year before he died he came to Boston and took away with him all his clothing, his trunks, books, and all belongings and thereafter he sent her no money nor did she make any effort to compel him to support her. After Judge Miller admitted the will to probate Mrs. Leighton appealed to the super for court.
 She has a son Herman, 16 years of age. It is understood that Wisner has made an offer to give Mrs. Leigh ton more than one-third of the estate and she has accepted the offer and a settlement will be arranged on that basis
