dependent upon charity aDd have
made appeals for assistance.
The following is a part of a note
written by the father, addressed to
Mayor Thompson:
“Mr. Thompson we are out of a
bite to eat in the house, and we have
had nothing today. Mr. Thompson,
if you don’t believe me please come
and see for yourself. I am laying
in bid and can’t help myself. I hate
to call on yon, but I don’t want to
starve. If you people don’t help
mo we are going to suffer, and please
help us right away. Please get the
city to help me. Mr. Thompson
please come and see my condition,
and the condition of my poor family.
Dear friend, I hope you will be able
to help me.”

PEARLING AGAIN REVIVED
Searchers for the Valuables are Novi
Very Much Interested.
With White river standing onlj
four or five feet on the guage the
pearling and shell industry has beer
resumed, and the very loss of time
by reason of the high water, seems
to have given the work an impetus
in that the pearlers feel they musl
rrmke up for such delays.
Black Rock, it is understood, will
makr a strong bid toward securing
the pearl and shell business this sea
son, as the manner in wh’ch New
port has succeeded her as the leader
in the White and Black river trade,
is galling to her pride as well as
keenly felt in a financial way by its
effect uprn trade,
The White river shell is claimed
by Northern buyers to be far super
ior for manufacturing purposes tc
those found in Black. Another poial
of advantage this market holds, is ir
its transportation facilities, which

PRESERVATION OF THE DEAD.
Kew Embalming ProcessWFicfi Seems to
Solve the Emblem.
An interesting iemonetration is
now being given atjthe examination
hall of the Royal college of surgeons
of a wonderful machine invented by
a Belgian doctor for preserving the
dead against the natural law of decay,
says the London Telegraph. Ilis ap
paratus effects a subtle chemical
change in the tissues of the dead body,
which makes it impervious to decom
position. What the change is even
scientists cannot exactly say. They
know enough, however, to assert that
it delayed almost indefinitely the dis
solution into dust and ashes. This is
the latest as it will be the most useful
development in the ancient art of em
lial m.iniT
- n
Its method is more wonderful than
any yet discovered, because no im
pious hand need touch the dead. In
the more material'sense, nothing is
done to the body by handiwork; it is
simply subjected to air heavily
charged with the pungent chemical
known as formaline. This air pene
trates the whole body, and, in the
course of time, makes the tissues in
soluble and the stomach and other
organs sterile. Thus decay is arrest
ed without visceration. In a word,
the dead are given a new life.
Proof of it can be seen to-day in.
Brussels. There in the public mor
tuary are confined dead bodies
changed by formaline into something
which resists natural decay. Con
stant exposure to the air, which but
for experimental purposes could have
been avoided, has had but one result.
It has changed the skin from the
pallor of death info a slightly brown
color through desiccation. One of
these machines is now in London for
demonstration before the lioyal col
lege of surgeons. All the leading
pathologists in London have investi
gated the new system, and it is under
stood that they are satisfied that the
great problem of preserving the dead
has been entirely overcome..
NEW YORK POLITICIAN.
■ Telling the Ignorant in Arkansas How
to Vote.
Norman E. Muck, is the name of
a distinguished looking gentleman
who hails from the city of Buffalo,
New York, and he is spending; his
time in Arkansas.during the closing
days of the Ciarke-Jones campaign.
Ho is manifesting much interest in
the political affairs of the state,
taking'a leading hand in the sena
torial fight. Intact, he broke loose
at Hot Springs yesterday and he is
fairly “plowing” up the earth for
James K. Jones. He talks loud and
siroDg and his earnest appeals in be
half of the cotton bale senator [are
almost pathetic. He [cams all the
way from Buffalo and is actually a
real, live New York politician, and
he swears by the sun-beams that the
American Cotton Company is not a
trust, and his magic words silences
protest.
The Hot Springs News Record in
its comment upon the visit of the
great riugster, says in part:
“The kindness of of Mr. Norman
E. Mack in journeying* alb.the way
from Buffalo N. Y , to tell the ignor
ant and benighted people of,-Ark
ansas how to yote for United States
senator is very touching, and can
not fail to excite feelings of the live
liest gratitude in the hearts of our
people. New Yorkers are generally

rflAYOR HORSEWHIPPED.
A Sensational AfFair Yesterday at To
peka, Kansas.
A special telegram from Topeka,
Kansas, says that Miss Blanche
Boise, a protege of Mrs. Nation,
horsewhipped Mayor Parker in hi?
office in that city yesterday. Three
times she slashed the mayor and
then he sprang at her, tore the raw
hide out of her hand and pushed her
into the hall. As Miss Boise was
thrust, out of the office by Mayor
Parker she exclaimed:
“Thank God, I’ve done it. I've
horsewhipped you and now I am go
ing to horsesvhip the governor,”
Before beginning her horsewhip
ping Miss B .ise gave the mayor a
severe scolding and accused him of
being responsible for the fact that
the*‘‘joints” are running openly in
Topeka and for the recent murder
that was committed in a saloon. She
then pulled the horsewhip from the
fpkls of her dress and struck the
mayor three times across the head
and shoulders. Miss B ase is a nurse
by profession. She is about 35 years
of age.

A SINGULAR CASE.
\ \
A Young Woman Mysteriously Re
| leased From Calaboose,
Emma Castle,aged fourteen years,
who was arrested here Saturday
n'gl t by Marshal Cook on the charge
of a breach of the peace, and com
mitted to the city calaboose, was
mysteriously released from that
prison at an early hour last night.
The young woman was locked in one
of the cells and the two locked doors
leading to the apartment were found
open at 10:30 o’clock last night and
the occupant gone.
The pa l locks were found on the
floor of the prison and the natural
conclusion is that keys were used in
releasing them from their place as
ikey tear 10 marks indicating that
they were otherwise tampered with,
but bjt whom the officers do not
know. T ie locks being of old style
many keys could perhaps be found
that would operate them.
The officers, it is said, have the
young woman located and will .have
her brought back tonight, and an
effort will be made to ascertain the
source of her release fr in the eala
