TEXAS IRON INDUSTRY.
A Small Beginning by the State and Its
Results.
What the Development of the Iron Ore F1eids
of Eastern Texas Has Done
and viii Do.
Nom Rirminrhnm Times.


In the Times illustrated edition Of Au-
gust oath brief sketch of the iron IN
dustry of Texas, since the earliest
days, was given, and it was there shown
that the efforts to develop the iron III
dustry of this state has. been met with
many failures, principally owing to poor
management. For thirty OF forty years
or even longer, it has been known that
Eastern Texas was full of iron,
but the early settlers were
TOO busv fighting Indians to pay
much attention to 1t, and soon
after the civil war came on and the re-
suit of that terrible period is known TO
everybody. The effect of it was TO STOP
the internal progress in all the Southern
states for wears, but the day of prosperity
has dawued for Texas, and the lron-oFe
beds viii be developed. For four or nve
wears the state has been operating
furnace two miles from the town site OF
New birmingham and through the EFFORTS
of Mai. Goree the results obtained nave
been marvellous The iron produced from
this furnace is eagerly sought AFTER anu
hos beeD nrovad to be of superior quality
to any in the United states. The super
intendent of the furnace, Mr.. h A. Bar
rett. who has had more experience Win
Texas iron than any other man IN the
country. SAYS that charcoal pig IRON can
be made for S11 per ton. rms IS gwen
to show the northern and eastern iron
dealers and furnace men that the pro-
duction of pig iron here is as cheap as
anywhere else, everything lahtH
80 Consideration When the
state established its twenty-five ION
furnace here. it did so with the
view of utilizing the convict LABOR, up 10
that time it had been found difficult to
keen EMPLOYED, but the effects of that
furnace viii 90 more to develop the iron
industry of Texas than it was thoughS
ever would be done when the project was
! first inaugurated. The direct result OF
| that furnace can be seen in the estaOllsh-
ment of the city of New Birmingham ana
| the two fifty-ton furnaces it will contain ,
| with the prospects of more to follow
| The iron industry of Texas Is IN Its ~
| fancy. but no state ever mad such gilt
! tering prospects for rapid wealth In
this line. Within a year from
to-day New Birmingham, with the
! state furnace, will be shipping
from thirtv-fve to fifty thous-
and tons of pig iron annually. As sooI
as this is placed on the market III SUI
ficient quantities, it is very certain &c
create demand for it to the expense ane

control the fell. Its uhdoubtec

Gus ways, and as soon as there Is enough
of if q special demand for Texas iron Il
sure to be developed. When New BIZ
mingham gets to selling forty OF httl
thousand tons of this iron every year
other furnace companies will certainl!
be brought here, and the iron industry o
the state will prove to be one of the rich
est resources of Texas.

The Neglect of the stomach.

A number of smart newspapers have
alleged the large salaries given to COOKS
by certain American millionaires as evil
dence of the shoddy ostenratiOn and
dangerous luxury of the time. 1t Is
much easier TO be smart than to be sensI-
BILE in dealing with the subject, because
the writer who aspires to the former dis
tinct1on is always sure of appre2latlve
readers, while the one who seeks the lat
ter is not.
The American people are proud OF their
indifference to the laws of health IN re-
lation to the preparation OF food
~ don It care what l eat, so long as IL
tastes good and I can get it quick, - Is
an expression frequently heard, and for
every one who uses it in conversation
there are probably hundreds who put 1t
in practice. The vast majority of US
consider proper attention to the at
fairs of the cuisine Indicative of rather
gross disposition, and unworthy of peo-
ple of refinement The demands OF the
most important function of the human
BODY, digestion, are almost wholly dis
REGARDED. The stomach is consid-
cred simply as warehouse for the guam
tity of food necessary to Gppease the
pangs of hunger, instead Of being treated
as the source of health or disease, ac-
cording to the use we make of 1t.
With a country unequaled in its variety
| of food products, we eat worse food than
anv other people, and reap the heaviest
harvest of dyspepsia. Instead of elevat-
! ing the cuisine to the position OF
a fine art, as the French do, We
relegate 1t to ignorant and SLOW
enly servants. We will pay man S3O
month to drive q delivery wagon, anc
then cry out against the extravaganza OF
the citizen who gives a cook 500 month
to preserve the digestion of himself anC
| family. We are prodigaI in marketing
and parsimOnious in regard to It's results
We have no cooks, because we conslde
them no better than the chambermald
who sweep the floors and carry out slops
II does not pay to learn the culinary ar
in this country.
Consequently the millionaire who ha
sense enough to respect his stCmac
must go abroad for his chef, and pa
veIy high for him. Not too high though
for in France the cook is respected as a
artist, and art is not cheap over there
If Mr.. Vanderbilt pays the managln
editor of his kitchen $40 600 year, q
reported, he probably gets full value 10
his money.
Thirty years ago there were two ciasse
of cooks in this country-bOth excelle1
in their way-the French and the ne
negroes. Now there is but one-th
French. And unfortunately they are
high priced that most of us will have
: die of indigestion.

1t is located in New York, and, as re-
suit, lots have been crowded from S3'I

enough for 325, 900 graves. Only $50, oo0
persons have been buried there, and yet
the trustees have only $500 more lots at
their disposal. One member of the trust
William Mayer of New York, owns
1000 lots: p: Bauer owns 600;
eP. It. Barnum, 800, and fifteen others
some one hundred and fifty lots each.
While. the lots have been booming, the
cemetery has been badly kept and
poorly managed, on account of lack OIL
funds. Every attempt to tax lot owners

the trustees have so few lots to sell. The

THE ORGAN GRINDER S TROUBLES
The explanation which the New York
Press gives of the Tanner affair would be
the most Iudicrous thing IN current po-
IiticaI discussion, if it were not that the
tremendous effort of that paper to strad-
die arouses a fear in the mind of the be-
holder that it might tear its clothes, if 1t
does not indeed, do itself bodily in
i,rv The Press thinks Tanner was
bounced from the pension department
because Mr.. Harrison els thoroughly IN
earnest in his purpose to have model
administration, and that he will tolerate
nothing that interferes with the realiza-
rion of his idea of his duty and that
cit NAV console Corporal Tanner to
realize that he is suffering for the sake of
the old soldiers - This funny paper
thinks the old soldiers will ''be grateful
! fo,, the presidents unselfish devotion to
their cause, the unselfshness of which he
/ has thus demonstrated anew that is by
making Corporal Tanner suffer 'for the
| sake of the old soldier.
Corporal Tanner, the Press thinks, is
honest, capable and devoted, but is re-
snonsible for the acts of some of his sub
ordinates who Hhave been guilty of
abuses that threaten the very existence
of the pension system, the ascendency of
the Republican party, and the success of
the administration. What spectacle!
The chief of department-honest and
devoted-kicked out for the acts Of his
subordinates, and not one of those sub
ordinates removed.
s.Soldiers admire bravery, and the
Press believes that the veterans will
admire this act of President Harrison
when they think it over. Well, per-
hans; but it is queer kind of
soldier who will admire the act
If dismissing from a department its
chief. who is honest and devoted, for
the acts of subordinates, who are still re-
tanned in office.
All this laboring to show what per-
feet men both Harrison and Tanner
are. and that both were right in all
things, shows what miserable position
is that of an organ grinder. Had
the Press possessed the courage
to put ITS thoughts in type il
would have said about. this: Tan
ner is bowling deInagogue with

bounced him, AS he should have done
long ago, to saFe the party - THAI
would have been plain and to the point
