STATE GUARDS IN SESSION.
Association Elects Maj. Iveat- ;
ing As President—Patch Up
The Disagreement As To !
Hot Springs Bonus.
The Arkansas State Guard As
sociation met yesterday in annual
session in the Senate chamber of
the state house. The association
remained in session the entire day
adjourning about 5 o’clock last
night. The principal action taken
during the meeting was the elec
tion of new officers for the ensu
ing year and the adoption of a rec
ommendation made by the retiring
president to the effect that the $2,
000 given the two colonels of Ark
ansas i-egiments in camp at Hot
Springs last summer, be divided
among the captains of the two
regiments, to be used as company
money. The latter action was
taken as a solution of the contro
versy as to what would be done
with $2,000, which was given by
the business men of Hot Springs
to Colonels Stroup and Surridge
for bringing the state encampment
to Hot Springs.
The meeting of the association
opened with a speech by Acting
Governor X. O. Pindall. His
speech was in the nature of a wel
coming address, answered by Gen.
Haynes, retired. The minutes of
the last meeting were then read
and disposed of. Captain W. H.
Abingtou made a motion to elimi
nate the general staff officers from
the Guard Association. Gen. Hay
nes, Gen. Green and others argu
ed the motion, with the result that
it was finally withdrawn 'by Mr.
Abington.
TO SELECT ENCAMPMENT SITE.
On motion of Maj- Stoddard,
Gen. Surridge, Col. Stroupe and
Col. Harrison were designated to
select the time and place for the
next annual encampment of the
state guards.
A motion made by Colonel Tuck
er to have payment of dues sus
pended for one year and to have
the dues made one dollar at the
end of that time in the place of
the three dollars dues, was lost.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The election of officers was then
held. The entire vote was cast for
Maj. Keating for president. By
motion of Cape. Abington, Col.
Henry Stroupe was elected first
vice president and Col. Harrison
second vice president. On motion
of Col. Pearson, Capt. Abington
was unanimously re-elected treas
urer.
By unanimous vote, Maj- Dow
dy was elected to member-ship in
the State Guard Association.
Maj. Keating was escorted to
the chair by Gen. Haynes, Maj.
Berry, Col. Pearson and Maj.
Baskerville. A short address was
made by Maj. Keating and a vote
of thanks given the retiring presi
dent, the association praising his
work in royal terms.
Col. Russell, Col. Tucker and
Maj. Berry were appointed a com
mittee of three to draft the reso
lutions of Gen. Haynes and send
to the members of Congress the
address delivered by Maj. Minor
in regard to the medical depart
ment.
The association then adjourned.

Our brother, W.M. .Tames of Tip,

Augusta Free Press.

AS AN AID TO CUPID
Peculiar Sofa Just the Thing for
Bringing Bashful Lovera to
the Scratch.
“I would like to get a sofa for our
parlor,” said the pretty girl in the
furniture emporium.
“Er—excuse me, miss,” respond
ed the clerk with a low bow, “but
—but have you a beau ?”
The pretty girl blushed redder
than an autumn apple and nodded
in the affirmative.
“And is he bashful, miss?”
“Exceedingly. Why—why, he
sits at the extreme end of the sofa.”
“Ah, indeed! Then here is the
very sofa you wish.”
“That? Why, it looks like the
letter V.”
“Yes, it is called the ‘Cupid
Slide’ sofa. No one can sit on it
without sliding to the center.”
HI® OPPORTUNITY.
Young ’Un—I heard of a man who
laughed so hard at a story that he
lost his voice.
Famliman—What was that story?
IJd like to tell It to my wife.
CACTI PUT TO USE.
Outside of its use as a hedge to
turn cattle, the cactus plant has
been pretty much a nuisance
wherever it has flourished, but at
Elpaso, Tex., a company has just
been formed to erect a plant for the
extraction of alcohol, ether and
fiber from all sorts of cacti. The
works will be in an adobe building
because it is easier to maintain in
a building of this material certain
temperatures necessary in the pro
cess. The capacity of the works
will be 20 tons a day, which means
that profitable employment will be
found for many persons in cutting
the cacti and hauling it to market.
This will be the first plant of its
kind in the United States.—The
Pathfinder.
WHISTLER NOT CORDIAL.
Walter Crane gives a character
istic anecdote of Whistler, the paint
er. The “Butterfly,” as Whistler was
called, was not inclined to be cor
dial when, disguised as a Spanish
cavalier in black, with a big som
brero, at a fancy-dress ball, he found
himself alongside of Mr. Crane, as
Cimabue, all in white. Crane says:
“I had met him previously at one
of his own private views, and said
to him, by way of greeting, that I
thought I had had the pleasure of
meeting him before; but he only
said, drily, ‘Very likely,’ and we
didn’t get any further.”
THE QUESTION ANSWERED.
A new rector in a village church
placed a question box at the door of
the sacred edifice and announced
that he would answer all questions
put there.
“How can I prevent myself sleep
ing in church?” was the question of
a wag.
“Stay home; your snoring annoys
the rest of the congregation,” was
the answer.
And after that there was no fur
ther attempt at levity.
FIRED BY HERTZIAN WAVES.
Experiments were recently made
with the explosion of fixed torpe
does at a distance by means of Hert
zian waves. The apparatus em
ployed is the invention of Senor
Balsera, a telegraph official. The
results of the trials are declared to
have been satisfactory. The invent
or has asked for facilities to study
the application of his system to the
working of torpedoes.
WHERE IT BELONGED.
“You made a mistake in putting
that engagement to a Spanish duke
in the commercial column.”
“Not on your life,” replied the
editor. “Perhaps you didn’t notice
the price paid for the duke."
