CHILD GROWS FAT ON IRON ORE.
Miners Daughter Has n Singular
FOndness for FerraginOus Food.

Miners Daughter Has n Singular
FOndness for FerraginOus Food.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Bessemer, Mich. June 2O.-The 2-year-
old daughter of James Gardner has an
uncomfortable appetite for iron ore, which
she eats with great relish. The case puz-
zles physicians. When the child is kept
away from the mine she has been known
to scrape particles of ore from her faith
er's boots and devour them with great
gusto. The family have tried many plans
to break the habit, but as yet without
avail. They mix all kinds of obnoxious
drugs with the ore, but the child, making
a wry face, eats the ore just the same.
She is never allowed to get out of sight
moment, and an attendant is always with
her. In spite of her strange diet, the
child is apparently healthy, strong and
bright The little girl is one of a large
family. Her father and mother are ma
tives of England. Mr.. Gardner is an in
dustrious hard working miner of ire
prOachable habits. He is very much an
noyed at mis- child's strange habit.

 to appeal to the heart of the cycling enthusiast at the forthcoming cycle show in Madison Square Garden. In the number and variety of it's exhib- it's the exhibition will surpass any thing of the kind ever before at- tempted in this country or in Flu rope. The number of spaces allotted to exhibitors is twice that of last years show and every inch of floor space in the big Garden will be taken up with novel and costly dis plays of wheels and sundries. Ow-. ing to the fact that the railroads have reduced fares for the occasion an immense attendance of out-of- town dealers and wheelmen is iantic- ipated. Among the novelties prom ised the visitors are .tandems of all designs, military bicycles and all famous makes for general use.

the merchant about the whipping this morning when the latter said:
 ssYes, sir, I am heartily in favor of the whipping post fer misdemea- nors of all kinds, and if we had such a law in Arkansas there would be many criminals less in our commu- nity. When man is convicted and sent to the county farm or peniten- tiary for trifiing otfense he is at once thrown into the society of the most depraved class of people and when he served his time thera and is again given his liberty he is a hun dred fold worse criminal than ever before, being hardened and vicious, and at once enters upon career of crime. If sound whipping had been administered to the criminal in the first place he would have been a
 better man. l feel perfectly sure that my employe, from the chastise- ment I gave him-and it was good one-will be a better man and con duct himself more properly in future than if had allowed him to be placed on the chain gang It is safe to say that he will not get drunk again for many a day"

Special Agent and Engineer of the United States of Road Inquiry, re- ceiyed from all the States represented (about thirty) verbal reports con- cerning the road laws in the several States, the condition of the roads, public opinion on road improvement and method of road construction, and kinds and cost of material.
 Addresses were delivered and papers read by men of wide informa- tion and practical experience, and the discussions evinced much en- thusiasm and intelligent interest.
 Road material were exhibited and actual experiments tried at the Ex- position to illustrate the value of different roads and of wide and mar row tires.
 As the United States Government will issue in pamphlet form for free distribution the proceedings of the Road Parliament, it is usless to at tempt to give fuller account in this brief report.
 However it is proper that the State of Arkansas should have the benefit of the observations of her representatives hence the following facts are presented:
 l Among the civilized nations of the world the United States has the poorest roads. Few, if any, States in the Union, have poorer roads than Arkansas.
 2 It is estimated that an average of $9 for every inhabitant of the United States is wasted annually on bad roads. As Arkansas has few railroads and a large rural popu- lation, the country roads must be used as much as in any Stat; hence her average must be equal to the general average, and over $900, GOO are annually thrown away that good roads would save.
 8 Wherever in the older States maeadamized roads have been made the value of adjacent farms has usually doubled, even in the vicinity of railroads. Much Arkansas land is unsaleable because products cannot be marketed With improved roads all land values would increase and large tracts of good but inaccessible land would be brought into use and it's price doubled or tribled and a large influx of desirable immigrants secured.
 4 In all States the change from bad system of roads has been so ex- pensive that progress has often been greatly hindered. In a sparsley settled State like Arkansas where much of the land is unfenced and at present of little value, correct system could be introduced at small cost and improvements could be made under favorable blecircumstanees;

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-The trial by court-martial of Captain M. A. Healey, until recently in command of the revenue cutter Bear, of the Behring Sea patrol fleet, on charges growing out of the nvestigation into the scandalous condition of affairs existing among certain ofi1- cers Of the cutter, was begun here today. Capt. Healey is charged with drunkenness and conduct unbeftt- ing an offer. The trial board con sists of Capt. D. E. Hodgsdon, of the revenue cutter Fesseden, presi- dent; Capt. Louis N Stodder, super visor of anchorages at New York; Capt. W. c. Coulson, assistant in- spector of life-saving station, San Francisco; First Lieut.. H. B. Rogers, commanding revenue steamer Hart ley, San Francisco, recorder, and
 First Lieut.. W. F. Reynold, of the revenue cutter Grant, Port Town send, prosecuting officer.

hence there should be no delay in adopting a far-reaching and thoroughly practical system
 In many States the cost is so great that the people are deterred from undertaking any improvement on q large scale. In Arkansas labor is cheap, materials are abundent and the climate is so mild that less material is needed to carry the road bed below frost, and in many sec tions water affords cheap transporta- tiOns for materials; hence while the usual cost of macadamized roads is from $1000 to $5, ,000 per mile, Ark ansas should build first class roads for $500 to $l 300.
 6 In several States the State and county eonvicts have been success fully employed in preparing road materials and constructing roads. Arkansas might solve the Peniten- tiary problem by using her convicts to improve the public highways. 7 Long and bitter experience has proved in nearly every State that such laws as are now on the. statute books have eneversecured good roads, and that, whether road taxes be paid in labor or money, skilled and practical supervision of our laws is a prerequisite to improved roads, therefore the following suggestions are offered:
 Call Good Roads Convention to meet in Little Rock February %, 1896, at p. m., to consider road making under the present laws, to propose new laws and to arouse public sentiment in favor of. a forward movement.
 Request every County Judge to attend and appoint five or ten good men as delegates from his county. Also invite boards of trade, town councils and farmers organizations to send representatives and urge the attendance of all who are interested in the progress of the State.
 3 Suggest to all delegates that they send to Gen. Roy Stone, Office of Road Inquiry, Washington, D. C.. for public documents on good roads.
 Urge all newspapers 10 publish reports and communications on the subject and to endeavor to create favorable opinions among the people

A Merchant Who Believes the Whip. ping Post to Be a Prevent
  ative for Misdemea-
 nors.

Ths lash was applied to an offen- der against city ordinance with good effect this morning. The gen tleman who used the lash was one of our most prominent business men and the man on whose back it was applied was one of his employees.
 The facts in the case of the whip ping are about as follows:
 For some time past the employe of the business man has been in the habit of getting on periodical spree and disturbing the peace of the city. For the offense, in every instance, he was arrested and carried before the police court, where he was fined for being drunk and discrderly. Not having the money with which to pay his fine he has invariably been com pelled to call on his employer to keep him from being placed on the "chain gang"
 Yesterday the man again drank until he was intoxicated. He was arrested and carried before Judge Brown, who fined him $5 The offen- der informed the court that his em- ployer would again pay his fine and an officer was sent with him to the business house of the merchant to collect the fine. On their arrival the merchant fiatly refused to again ''put up" for his employe and told the officer to take him to jail. The offen- der begged his employer most pitt fully to pay his fine, and finally the merchant, who has naturally kind heart, said: q have paid you out of trouble time and again, and l am now tired of it; but on one condition will I help you again. Which would you rather do, receive se were flashing or be placed on the CudiH gang
 The man paused for few moments and then replied that he preferred the flashing. The merchant at once secured leather strap, had his em- ploye to walk into back room connected with the store, made him strin himself and then ordered him to take position across a barrel. The merchant then seized the leather strap and administered a sound thrashing upon the mans posterior, after which he paid the offenders fine and the employe was allowed to go about his business.

THE FAIR AGAIN.
A Citizen" Points Out the Ad-
 vantages of it.

Editor GRAPHIo:--
 By all means have fair this fall
 Did you ever think of the advan- tage offered the people of Pine Bluff in this direction.
 To have fair, as a general thing, the association has to buy ground, make track, build stables and hall, etc, and fence the ground at a heavy expense, all of which such small towns as Stuttgart, Monticello, Warren, Fordyce and Camden have done at their own expense-and Pine Bluff with a population and business larger than all of these places put together has had no fair in years past.
 Now as to the advantage here in Pine Bluff, Wiley Jones offers his whole grounds free of charge to the association, which is today the best arranged fair ground in Arkan- sas-not only this, he told your today that he would turn over all gate fees to the assoeia- ton with the ground-did you ever think of this-the gate fees will pay nearly all purses and expenses o&the fair. Certainly this is a grand offer by MT. Jones and the people should take advantage of it.
