will have another conference at that
place to day. Since the last meeting
tho Republican loaders of this clly have
hold several conforenoes and" have
about decided to name a straigbtout
Republican ticket. There was strenu?
ous opposition in the ranks to the idea
of fusion, and particularly sinca it was
learned that the Prohibitionists wished
to namo the senatorial candidate. Ife^H
hardly probable that to-day's meSffng

A. GREAT SUCCESS.
The Little Folhe' Entertainment Last
Might.
The little folks of the First Baptist
Sunday-school entertained a large au?
dience last night In a very taking way.
The entertainment consisted of songs,
recitations, tableaux and pantomines,
arranged by Mrs B. B.',Pollard, assisted
by Mrs. H?ge and Misses Wortbant.
Stone and Deacon. Miss Webber Fel?
lers gave "Advice to Husbands." "You
Dirty Boy," was a comio tableaux by
Walter Tineley and Alice Grlffln.
"Tardy Scholar" was sung by Edward
Crawloy and a chorus of girls. One of
the hits of the evening was "What Are
the Wild Waves Saying," by Beverly
H?ge and Ethellne Tins ey. John
Jamison recited well "Ned and His
Pony." The "Mother Goose. Panto
mines" by /-jo Berlin, Clarence Griilln,
Madeline Ferguson, Claud Brown and
Otoy Reynolds furnished much merri?
ment
A company of "Brownies." about to
start for a 'round the world tour, was
loudly applauded. P.'tvrl Swink, Kath
erlne Hull and Mary Haislip rendered
"Little Helpers" In a vory attractivo
way. "I Don't Want to Play In Your
Yard" was sung and acted by Graclo
I)o?8 and Gur'.io Hines, and was loudly
encored. "Dolly's Lesson" was sweetly
rondorod by Annio Hogo. "Flowers and
Weeds" was well recited by Aleck Kin?
dred. Little Mary Haislip brought
down the house with her "Dolly Bosa."
Tho ' Good Night" tabloau, consisting
cf little girls of the in'ant class in their
immaculate night robes, and with
candles in their hands, furnished a
most pleasing end for the evening's
entertainment.
As many were not ablo to get In tho
entertainment will bo repeated next
Thursday night. Tickets purchased but
not used will bo reoognlzed at that time.
EASY ENGLISH FOR SPANIARDS.
No Man Need Want Itrcutl and Ituttcr It
Ho Can Say "Sombrero y Rota."
Some tiino ago two Chilean gentle?
men, friends of each other, agreed to
visit Europe. Ono of them resolved to
proceed overland to Buenos Ayrcs, and
from theuce to Montevideo, "where ho
would join lint straits .steamer, while
tho other preferred to make the journey
by son.
In duo time tho steamer arrived at
Montevideo, and tho two friends met
again. After the customary salutations
were over they commenced to compare
notes of their respective tri] s. Tho trav- j
clor by sea complained that tho Chilean I
stewards on board professed n profound
ignorance of their native tongno and
persisted in answering all questions put
iii that language with a "What, sir?" or
"Beg pardon, sir!" "Only imagine,"
hoj Bnid, "thai during all tho voyage
front Valparaiso t;i Montevideo 1 have
been uunhlo lo obtain paa con munto
cniilla, because the stewards either
would uol or could uol nnderstand me."
/ "My dear friend,replied tho over
i land route mau, "I will tell yon how to
ovcrcomo that difficulty. There is n
considerable number of Spanish words
which can bo made to do duty as Eng?
lish. It is merely a question of pursing
up tho mouth and speaking harshly
through the teeth. For instance, in the
case of pan con mautequilla, tho Span?
ish words to bo employed nro sombrero
y botn. Make tho trial and you will be j
convinced of the efficacy of my method." |
Next morning the two friends sat
down together to breakfast, and the
^overland man, nudging his companion,
whispered, "Try my method." Imme?
diately afterward one of the Chilean
mlzos who was unable to comprehend
thi meaning of pan con mautequilla ap?
proached, and the passenger, screwing
upjliis month and speaking through his
tetfth, exclaimed, "Sombrero y botn."
"j?onio broad und butter? Yos, sir,"
camo tho answer, and tho passenger

Friendship.
Tho plant of friendship grows only
in the warm air of congeniality. Con?
fidence binds its parts together and is

sympathy is the life giving sap coursing

?ONELY MOUNDS AT POINT BARROW, j
They Stark the Antiquity of a Native Race,
but Do Not Toll Its Story.
Point Burrow, Alaska, tho northern- j
most point of hind of tho North Aineri- i
can continent, lias soino interesting
graveyards of its own. About 11 years
ugo Lieutenant Ray, in his report of
tho polar expedition to Point Barrow,
recorded that in digging a shaft 20 foot
bolow tho earth's Burfaco to obtain
earth temperatures ho found a pair of
wooden goggles, pointing to tho groat
lapso of timo siuce these shores vvero
first peopled. Tho Alaska Mining Rec?
ord says that this country was undoubt?
edly inhabited long bcfo^i Columbus
discovered America. Of Uio origin or
descent of the inhabitants no definite
trace has been found, and there aro no
records of the past among the peoplo
who uow livo there. Their lauguago
abounds in legends, but none gives any
data by which to judge how long these
desolato shores have been inhabited.
Tho ruins of ancient villages aud
winter huts along tho seashore and in
the interior show that tho country has
been inhabited for centuries. There uro
mounds at Point Barrow marking tho
sito of three huts dating back to tbo
timo when the natives had no iron and
tho men "talked liko dog." Those
mounds stand in tho middle of a marsh,
aud tho sinking of tho land caused tho
sito to bo flooded mid abandoned. Tho
inhabitants in times past have followed
tlio receding lino of ico which at ono
timo capped tho northern part of this
continent and have moved along tho
easiest lino of travel. This is shown in
tho general distribution of a similiar
people, speaking a similar tonguo, from
Greenland to Boring strait. Tho dis?
tribution of tho race today marks the
routes traveled. Tho seashore led them
along tho coasts of Labrador and Green?
land, Hudson bay and its tributary
waters. They came down tho Yukon, so
rich in minerals, to peoplo tho shoros of
that stream and tho interior of Alaska,
and traveled aloug the coast to Capo
Priuco of Wales. To this day they use
dogs instead of door, tho natives of
North America having never domesti?
cated tho reindeer, aud they speak a
different tonguo from their neighbors
across tho strait in Siberia.
Somo writers on the subject havo ad?
vanced tho theory that tho natives of
Alaska are descendants of tho race of
peoplo that Cortes drove oul of Mexico,
others that they aro Japanese or Chinese
iu origin, and others still that they
came to this country across tho strait
from Siberia. So far as defluito infor?
mation is concerned, one guess is as
good as another. Tho lonely mounds
at Point Barrow mark tho antiquity of
the race, but they do not tell its story.
Oiui fill i In- i'l'tnce.
Tho Prince of Wales auco visited n
seaside town for tbo purpose of laying
tho foundation stouo t f tho new harbor.
Tho prince, in company with Lord
Dufferiu, drove through the town pre?
ceded by the mayor in his ofhoial robes.
An old fishwife, failing to distinguish

exclaimed:

then cried out, at the top of her voice,
"Long livo the priuco!"
Instantly tho priuco turned and
bowed.
. "Is thai him?" she inquired, with a
disappointed dir.

bor.

UNTOLD MISERY
FROM
C. H. King, Water Valley, Miss., cured by
Ayer's Sarsaparille
"Kor five years, I suffered untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. 1 trlctl every
Known remedy, consulted tho best physi?
cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark.,three limes,
spcntllliv; $1000 their, besides doctors' lulls j
hut c.mld obtain only lempornry relief. My
llcsh was wasted nwny so that I weighed
only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and
leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles
being twisted up in knots. T was unable to
dress myself, except with assistance, and
could only hobble about by using a cane. I
had no appetite, and was assured, by the
doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at
tunes, were so awful, that 1 could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic injec?
tions of morphine, l had my limbs bandaged
in clay, in sulphur, iu poultices; but these
gftve only temporary relief. After trying
everything, and suffering the most awful
tortures, I began to take Aycr's Sarsaparille,
Inside of two mouths, I was able to walk
without a cane. In three months, iny limbs
began to strengthen, and in the course of a
year, I was cured. My weight has increased
to 165 pounds, and I am now able to do my
full day's work as a railroad blacksmith."
