Religious Enthusiasts.
Just now when one of the most im-
portant topics under consideration in
all civilized lands is that of a World’s
Parliament of Religions to be held
during the present year at the World’s
fair at Chicago religious discussion
has reached a height never known be-
fore in centuries. This almost univer-
sal interest has been followed by wide
and sweeping investigation into the
religious beliefs and practices of dif-
ferent nationalities. The result has
in some instances been both strange
and startling. In one instance par-
ticularly the Neo-Stundista of Jlussio
the reported result of an investigation
almost passes belief despitq the fact
that the same is made by an accredit-
ed authority. In one province that
of Yakhin this gentleman describee
his experience with a body of tide
queer sect as the most remarkable of
hie life. He observed them making a
ring like English schoolgirls when
singing “When I was a lady" and
whirling ronnd with a velocity that
made him dizzy. They twisted and
bent their bodies till you would fancy
they must have steel wires instead of
bones inside their skin; they clapped
their hands as loudly aud excitedly as
a South American audience applaud-
ing a prinia <ft>na: they shouted till I
the roof seemed to becoming off; then
they varied the proceedings by jump-
ing up to the ceiling and trying to
catch the spirits there while the mus-
cles of their faces seemed to have be-
gun a course of exercises on their ac-
count; their mouths would widen till
they almost reached their ears; their
eyes would roll and turn upwards
like those of the magician in the “Ara-
bian Nights” after he had quaffed the
goblet of potent poison till nothing
but the whites were visible; and dur-
ing all this they would chant strange
syllables and unfamiliar words weep
laugh inoan and sob the perspiration
rolling in streams from their faces
and bodies until at last they were
overcome by exhaustion and dopped
down like poisoned flies.” “Our
orthodox people look upon it all as
the work of the devil” remarks M.
Skvortsotf. “And in this they arc
perfectly right” he adds “for without
the assistance of the evil spirit no
Christian could perform such things.”
An I«tore»ting Meeting.
The initial services held by the Y
M C A of Texarkana at the opening
of their new quarters in the Ivy-Frie
dell building on yesterday afternoon
proved in every way a decided success
for the Association. The previous an-
nouncement of the opening exercises
had the effect of drawing a large au-
dience composed of our best people •
whose presence in such a numerous
assemblage evinced t he deep and wide-
spread interest which is felt for all
that concerns the present or future
welfare of this most excellent organi-
zation. The services were indeed
both interesting and excellent. The
address by Rev. Arthur Higby was
able and eloquent while the prayer
by Rev. Ernest Thompson touched the
hearts of his hearers. The musical
part of the services added another
charm to the otherwise interesting
and enjoyable occasion.

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE.
At no period in the history ot our
city has the prospects for her future
been brighter or more enduring than
now Nor has tliere'ever been a time
when the confidence of the people in
the present welfare and future pros-
perity of their city was tinner or bet-
ter founded than at the present. It
is true that the whole country has
just emerged from a period of almost
unexampled depression attended by
hardship and disaster which in the
ordinary course of events would have
the natural effect of destroying public
confidence and shaking to its very
center the firmest of public faith.
That such is not the condition of our
I own people sjieaks volumes to • their .
indestructible faith in thecity’s future.
Such confidence cannot well be mis-
placed. The business men of Texar-
kana are a clear-headed far seeing
set and their convictions arc well
worthy the consideration and respect
of the public. Taken altogether the
existence of Texarkana has been a
prosperous one. At no time has she
been worse off that the majority of
her sister cities. While to-day her
future as a commercial railway and
manufacturing center is brighter and
better founded than ever before and
will bear favorable comparison with
that of any city of like size In the
Southwest.
The completion of the Texarkana &
Fort Smith railway North and South
gives her equal advantages from both
points as though two separate and
distinct linos were to be constructed.
That the road will be built is now be-
yond question and with its comple-
tion will open an era of prosperity
beyond the present reach of the most
vivid or sanguine immagination.
THOMAS REED’S GREATNESS.
From this time onward one need
not fear that he can become so poor
act so vile or live so meanly but
there will be some left to do him rev-
erence. Had we been called «pon to
select the last of living human sub-
jects for fulsome praise either public
or private the search would have been
widely extended ere we should have
settled on Thomas Bracket Reed. Yet
hear what a Pennsylvania eulogist bus
to say of him :
“If sheer originality and force of
intellect were the sole criterion Thos.
Brackett Reed would come near be-
ing ‘the greatest living republican.’
In that brilliancy and fertility which
are allied to genius he is without an
equal. He is unique coruscating and
effulgent. As Speaker of the House
he displayed also more substantial
qualities. He showed will decision
and resolution. He showed mastery
of men and measures. There lias
been no finer exhibition in our times
of parliamentary power and Cromwel
lian attributes. Every eno feels that
for that sort of a struggle be is un-
rivalled and that he was born tor it
as much as Napoleon for war or Ham-
ilton for statecraft. It is a side of
greatness which is not to be disputed
and we only pause when we come to
ask whether it includes all sides. But
it is big enough with the light house
illuminating power of penetrating
speech which goes with it to put Tom
Reed in the first rank of living Repub-
licans and living Americans.”

A Disagreaablo Affair.
Much comment not unmixed with
criticism has been evoked over the
arrest of the women who conducted a
“shooting gallery” on the West side.
The affair to say the least of it is a
very disagreeable and unsavory one.
While we do not think the presence
of these women in our city has been
in any sense desirable yet because
they are women we should like to
have seen them less harshly dealt
with. The council did right no doubt
In revoking their license but would
have done much better had it taken
earlier action. The arrest of the wo-
men is another matter as they were
here under color of law they should
have been given notice to quit the
city. Upon their failure to comply
(hey should have then been arrested.
"The Colonel.”
“The Colonel” was here yesterday
and was produced at the matinee and
last night. It is one of the best come-
dies that ever delighted a Little Hock
audience. The cast la superb. There
is not a single member of the com-
pany who Is not deserving of unstint-
ed praise. Every one of the combina-
tion is an artist. The individual
work is superb; the general perform-
ance could hardly bo bettered. The
first act becomes interesting the mo-
ment the curtain rises tuid continues

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly useu. The many who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more with
less expenditure by more promptly
. adapting tlje world’s best products to
; the neons of physical la-ing will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a js rfect lax-
ative; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it nets on the Kid-
neys Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
svery objectionable substance.

Make Haste to Defend Yourself
If you live in a locality whore mala-
ria is prevalent with a preventative
that experience indicates as the most
reliable of medical safeguards—Hos-
tetter’s Stomach Bitters. Entirely
free from the objections—and they are
valid ones—which attach to the min-
eral alkaloid quinine it is far more ef-
fective and its effects are not evane-
scent but lasting unlike those of the
-drug. There are portions of our laud
—and none more licautiful aud mors
fertile—which at no season of the year
arc entirely exempt from the malarial
scourge. In such regions Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters has undergone a con-
tinuous test for the past forty years
with results which have established
its reputation beyond all cavil as a
special defense against every form of
malarial disease. For biliousness also
it is an acknowledged specific and it
is a potent remedy for constipation
dyspepsia rheumatism and an Impov-
erished condition of the blood.
