not satisfied to trust a business ol such grave importance to the hands of irresponsible persons, and so con fined the business to those of their own appointment, and the work was done according to the direction ol their own ministers. Such precau- ton might be advisable even at this day in some mecommunities, but in Pine Bluff where the business is carried on by men of tried reputations there IS no need of alarm. Especially is such 1 the case when one remembers that l R. F. Holmes, who is always men tioned among the prominent and honorable citizens here, is the pro- prietor of one of the largest meat and produce markets in this city. He personally inspects the meat killed for his store and sees that it is wei prepared for his customers ir thorough accordance with the re 0uirements of health. His market is located at Il9 West Second avenue
 He has one of the oldest markets il Pine Bluff, and the steadily increas ing patronage forcibly demonstrate
 the popularity of his meats ant prices.

LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION,
THE MORNING GRAPHIC.

The DAILY GRAPHIC greets its readers with this issue as morning daily, and we confidently believe that an examination of it's columns and handsome Illustrations will bt found wholly creditable to Pine Bluff.
 This edition will be extensively and broadly circulated, and fl il shall bring one additional citizen oi new enterprise to Pine Bluff and Jefferson county, we shall feel amply repaid for our time, money and trouble The GRAPHIC is for Pine Bluff first, last and all the time, and its best efforts are always directed toward the improvement of our city and county.
 The write ups of our local busi- ness houses are the exclusive work of Mr. Wm. Davis, who is an expert il. that line and who was employed for that especial service.
 From this date we hope to occupy the morning field permanently, but the venture will depend entirely upon the support accorded the en, terprise. We will make no promises further than that the GRAPHIC will be "just what the people make it- nothing less, nothing more. If our people want morning daily with fall telegraphic news and market reports, now is thei. opportunity.
 We hope to enter the home of every citizen of Pine Bluff and te obtain aliberal share of advertising.
 The GRAPHIC will be issued here after at o'clock every morning, exs cept Monday, and will be distributed along the line of the Cotton Belt by the 2:4O a. m. southbound train, furnishing the news to that section of the country twelve hours ahead of any other morning daily.
 We hope to make the GRAPHIC oc- cupy an important place in south western Arkansas. We again re peat that the permanency of the ar rangement will depend entirely upon the patronage given the enterprise.

ToDAY's BIG GAME.
Princeton Has the Advantage and
ShoRld win.

The most careful critics who ave
been watching the work of the Prince
ton and University of Pennsylvania
teams as they lave been putting the
finishing touches upon their playing
prophecy a very close, hard game this
afternoon, but give Princeton the vic
tory by anywhere from 10 to 16 points.
Bets are for the most part running even,
but Princeton money can be had at odds
of 5 to g. In comparing the men as
they will face each other these odds
seem to be warranted Dudley Riggs
has been chosen by Captain Trenchard
for Princeton's centre. Brill, who will
face him. will easily outplay him, for
he is one of the best centres on the field
this year, while Riggs is green at the
game and makes bad breaks at times.
He will be well steadied by Wheeler
and Taylor though, as Brill cannot hope
to be by Wharton and Woodruff. Wheel
er,s work against Hickok in the Yale
game last year put him in the front
ranks among the guards. This is his
fourth year, and from his work thus far
promises to be his greatest. He is power
full in interference, an irresistible run
ner with the ball, and q remarkably
c~ool-headed player. He is in perfect
physical condition, too, while Wharton
who at his best could not. match him,
will enter the game with a bad knee,

AS to Taylor and Woodruff, Wood

CHILDRBN'S home
That Laudable Institution, Con-
fronted With a Debt, Needs
Financial Assistance.

At the west end OF Glenwood avenue
are several acres of ground in the midst
of which is a large house. called the
Children's Home of Jersey City. It Is
the only institution of its kind in Hud-
son County which is not under church
management. 1t is distinctly an orphan
asylum. A child upon entering the in
stitution is legally bound over to the
home and upon leaving obtains a legal
release.
In the past there have been as many
as eighty-four or eighty-ive children
but at present there are fifty, about half
boys and half girls. The doors of the
home are at all times open to the public
and the management would like to have
citizens visit the place and see the man
ner in which it is taken care of, the
cleanliness and general good order.
THE MANAGEMENT.
The management consists of a Board
of Trustees, composed of the leading citi-
Gems of Jersey City. and a Ladies' Board,
of twenty-one of the leading ladies of
Jersey City society. 1t has been found
tina it costs 500 a year to maintain
each child in home. food and clothing
and provide schooling for the younger
children, the older going to public
schools. At the rate of 500 for each
child the annual xpenses are from
$4,000 to $1,000. The home is sustained
exclusively by the voluntary gifts of the
friends In Jersey City, no money being
asked from anyone outside of this city.
In 1893 the pressure Of the hard times
was felt, and, in consequence, a debt or
$1,000 was contracted. During this year
that debt has been increased by $1,000,
SO that lthiS winter the Home will be
confronted with a floating Indebtedness
of about So, 200. This debt consists part
ly of unpaid bills for supplies and partly
of a portion of the $4,50O necessary for
money should be raised, and there is no
place from which it can come but the
citizens of Jersey City. AS the Home
is the only institution of its kind in
a population of zoe, 600, the appeal ought
not be made in vain. An institution
which does such good work as the Child
ren's Home is doing and has done for
thirty years should not be allowed to
CONFIDENCE IN JERSEY CITY.
In making this appeal he management
feels confident that Jersey City's citi-
zens will respond as heartily as they
