on the outside was forgotten in
the delightful warmth and cheer
inside the hospitable home. A
touch of spring time was given
the rooms by the floral decora
tions of palms and fresh carna
tions. The prizes were beauti
ful, Mrs. R. M. Johnson winning
the ladies prize, a Venetian glass
vase, Mr. Gus Martin falling
heir to the gentleman’s prize a
stag horn and silver mounted
cork screw. Miss Hortense Hite
kept scores.
A delicious luncheon was
served in courses, but was pre
ceded by the passing of fav
ors to all, which were handsome
long-stemmed carnations with
ferns.

POOIROOM RAIDED.
Carrie Nation of Kansas fame Created
Panic in Gambling House at Hot
Springs and Was Arrested.
Hot Springs, Feb. 15.—After
; expressing a desire to make a
I personal examination of the
“gamb.ing hells of Hot Springs,”
Carrie A. Nation, the notorious
i “joint smasher” of Guthrie, 0.
T., entered the palatial Indiana
Club and racing pool room late
yesterday afternoon, and ten
minutes later landed in jail
charged with disturbing the
peace.
Mrs. Nation did not attempt
to demolish the fixtures, but her
arrest was the result of a stamp
ede among the hundreds of sport
ing men and employes of the
club room, who believed that she j
was going to use her hatchet.
Mrs. Nation arrived in Hotj
Springs Tuesday morning with j
■ the intention of delivering a!
! series of temperance lectures.
She engaged a room at the
United States Hotel, and evinced
great interest in the gambling
paldces here, expressing her in
! tention of visiting them person
ally.
About 5 o’clock in the after
noon she left the hotel with a
shawl over her head and started
up Central avenue, and after,
going a few steps, was attracted
by the pretentious and glittering:
front of the Indiana. She pushed |
through the costly leaded glass
entrance and found herself in
the midst of a throng of men
! drinking at the bar and betting
on the races.
“Aren’t you men ashamed of:
yourselves?” in a high-pitched;
feminine voice startled the;
i sports the next instant. One of
the men recognized her and
cried, “Carrie Nation! Lookout
for your mirrows, Louis!”
At this Louis Grenier, proprie
tor of the buffet, thinking that
the woman had a hatchet under
her shawl, ran around the bar
and ejected her, with the assist
| ance of several policemen, after
I a hard struggle,
j The patrolmen started toward
; the jail with the prisoner, fol
! lowed by a large crowd. The re
| port that Carrie Nation had
1 cleaned out the Indiana Club pre
ceded them, however, and by
the time the jail was reached 500
! people were folowing the party.
In the jail Mrs. Nation ha
! rangued the crowd and heaped
i reproach upon the heads of the
I jailer, patrolmen and spectators,
i asking them if they ever had
I mothers.
After spending an hour in the
women’s department, in com
pany with several negro women,
whom she attempted to reform,
Mrs. Nation was released by
i order of Chief of Detectives
Shevlin in time to keep a lecture
engagement at the First Baptist
church, where hundreds were
; turned away from the door.

COVING!ON-COX SCRAP.
Senator and lobbyist Mix Up Matter
in Street Scuffle in Little Rock.
Little Rock, Feb. 1G. — Senatoi
A. W. Covington, president o:
the last State Senate, and Thos
L. Cox, who has been a conspic
uous figure in the boodle inves
tigation made by the Pulask
County Grand Jury and the trial.'
that have resulted, t ngaged in i
personal enceunter yesterday
afternoon shortly after 2 o’cloci
in front of the Merchants’ hotel,
Neither of the combatants was
injured, as bystanders interfere
and stopped the fight before
either had an opportunity to in
flict any damage upon his antag
onist. The noise and the scuffle
attracted a large crowd, how
ever, and within a few minutes
the report of the occurrence had
spread throughout the downtown
district. Senator Covington was
immediately placed under arrest
by Sergeant Cogswell and put
up a cash forfeit of $10 for his
appearance at a later time. Cox
left the city late yesterday after
noon, but before leaving he noti
fied police headquarters that if
there was any charge against
him he would appear and answer
to it immediately upon his return
to the city.
Thursday Evening Service.
Rev. McIntosh preached an
other strong sermon Thursday
night to a large congregation.
His appeal to the unconverted
was a most powerful one. The
very close and serious attention
on the part of the audience
showed that a profound impres
sion was being made. The evan
gelist stated that if a man would
ask himself three questions and
take thirty minutes to answer
them, he would not leave the
house until he had settled the
question of his salvation. “Who
am I, whither am I tending and
where shall I spend eternity?”
“I am somebody, going some
where and my immortal soul
must live with God and His re
deemed, or with the damned in
hell.”
“I don’t know what kind of a
place hell is and I pray that 1
| may never know by sad exper
' ience. The ricn man’s statemenl
I of it is enough for me.”
Mr. McIntosh gave not onlj
the sad experience of Dives, as
told by our Lord, but gave sorm
; telling illustrations of some whon
j he had known who died withoui
! God and without hope.
“One of the great torments o:
ti n • n i_ 1.1__.._ -f ,
litJli Will Uv 1.11^ jr v/x c
wasted, neglected past.”
The preacher exhorted th<
members of the differeni
churches to assist him in reach
ing the unsaved.
The meeting will continue foi
some days.
There will be a special sermor
to men only Sunday afternoon a'
! 3:30 o’clock.
At the close of the service las
! night many went forward fo:
j prayer. X.

THE PITTSBURG, PA., TIMES says: ,
The character taken by W. B. PATTON,
i while entirely different in many ways was i
] similar to those made familiar to olay-proers j
by SOI, SMITH RUSSELL. It. was not an
imitation, however, but characterization as
| distinct as Russell’s, possessinK a quaint
j charm of its own.
