F THIS JUSTICE?
If it is, it is Poor Sample and
 Should Not Be Tolerated.


 J. B. Schneider, a law abiding, hard working and honest Third avenue merchant was arrested last Sunday by Officer Meeks on a charge of breaking the Sabbath by selling goods on that day. He was brought up before Judge Brown and fined SEQ. Of course he was not foolish enough to pay it and bis at. torn qtk au appeal. We are not ia tsz 1f violating the law in any. @ag, 5=.s do we like to censure the officee> for doing what they believe is right, but we wish to say that the arrest of Mr. Schneider was an i'm position aud aa injustice and saoui d oot be tolerated. Why did the officer arrest poor Mr. Schneider aud not rich Main street mereaan ts2 Because they wanted to "bleed' him. This is wrong. ng.
 Every Sunday the front. rear and side doors of large Main street bus mess houses are open and you can get anything you wish 10 buy out of those establishment. If this is a violation of the law, why not arrest these big and l6f1aeneia merchants !? Are they any better than the poor Third avenue merch8n1s2
 We cannot understand why it is that there is so much prejudice and partiality is shown in official circles Chief Philpot is competent and good officer but we are of the opin- ion that he allows his men to take spite work out on eertai4 parties to satisfy personal feelings. If the law must be enforced the Graphic will uphold our officials in every ir- stance when in discharge of their duty. But We wish to state that we will not stand idly by and see ooe class citizens =perseeuted, while others who commit the same offensa go unpontshed, although the officers are well aware of the fact.

A Cats Long Jump.

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch: How far can a cat jump without hurting itself was partially exemplified in Brooklyn. A pretty white cat ran Up a tree to get away from dog, and at last erawled out on a small branch at least sixty feet above the ground. The branch was not much more than a twig, and the eat could not turn around. She sat up there on the swaying limb and meowed At last the twig broke, and down came the cat. She alighted on the ground on her feet, looked around for moment. and then bounded away Which shows that sixty-foot drop does not hurt a Brooklyn cat, whatever it might do to cats of other places

SEVERAL RUhAWAYS
Occurred in Pine Bluff During the
 Past 24 Hours.

There have been several runaways fn this city during tbe past twenty four hours and one of them was very costly.
 The first occurred on West Barra- que street Monday afternoon. A negro left team of mules hitched with only ore trace chain to large farm wagon standing in front of R. M. Knox & Go 5 store They suddenly ran away and it looked as if they would collide with two bug gies, that were on that street with lady occupants. The mules gave a sudden turn at Pine street, threw the wagon up agalnst Dewoody's $ awning and stopped.
 The second runaway occurred on East Sixth avenue a few hours Ia ter. A team hitched to J. w. Seott's vegetable wagon became frightened and dashed wildly down the street. MT. Seotts little daugh- ter who was riding with him, was thrown out aud knocked uneon- scious. She remained in that con. dition for several hours, having been removed to nearby residence. This morning, however, the little sufferer came to and is now doing nicely She will recover.
 Tbe Pine Bluff soda company's wagon was tbe next on toe pro- gram. That wagon was almost de. molished by horse this morning. It ran away OF Main street near Third avenue aud created much excitement. The stands of Harvey Owens and Jack Michilottl were knocked over and damaged. A little negro boy, who was driving the horse, was thrown about ten feet iuto the air aud fell on bis head He was not hurt. A mule attached to dray was knocked down aud badly cut.

LIFE HAD NO CHARM.
Beautiful Young Woman Takes Her
 Own Life at England, Ark.

A recent special from England, Ark, says: Mrs. Sadie Jenkins, q beautiful young woman of less than
 20 years, daughter of ]. T. Moody. died at l2 o'clock last night from the tffeets of dose of morphine taken with suicidal intent. Early this year she married William Jenkins. He soon became jealous and they eepa- rated. Yesterday she returaed to her fathers home, proposing to make it her home. It is alleged that her step mother told her father to choose between them, and that he refused her his home. Sbe then went to the house of Mir. Brown, neighbor. and took the morphine. She evidently premeditated the act. aa she had provided herself with the morphine. n

 MendiCant Students.

Concerning the poorer students of Russia the Saturday Review says: Their mendacity is passive rather than active. Unlike the mendieant friars, they never ask, but they know much will be given them. They know, too strange fact in a strange country-that the university is open to all, irrespec- tive of means or position Thus the university becomes the poor Russians s golden opportunity, for here, as else where, there are many posts, for which graduates alone are eligible. A stroll through the streets of Moscow during term time furnishes abundant evidence of the popularity of the university. The uncompromising military blue and green uniform which stamps the stu- dent, and which he can never, save under dire penalties, exchange for plain clothes, is to be met with at every turn. A few rich students are caught sight of driving; the many are on foot.

and reed green, and high grades O!
red from ruby to deep claret.
To give an idea of these smart
gowns a description of few will serve
good purpose. One of them that is
very attractive is of an almond tut
in Venetian cloth. The skirt of this is
made perfectly plain, with two box
plaits. at the back, and the nobhy
ghtftting jacket is just below the
waist line, with a spade front. 1t
has a turnover collar of black velvet,
with strapped and stitched bands of
black cloth down the front and around
the jacket.
Another that is not less attractive
is of a light weight cloth in Il hello
trope shade. The skirt is stitched
down each seam and has double plat
in the back. The jacket is tight fit
ting, with dpublc-breastcd front. A
large turnover collar of white cloth
stitched down the front and around
the bottom with white silk. Six large
fancy buttons adorn the front
One that 1 thought particularly
neat suit is of Venetian cloth in q
medium shade of blue. The skirt has
very little fullness at the waist line
in the back, although at the foot it
spreads out into graceful folds, and
the little coat is scmiftting, and deco
rated with rows of the fashionable
machine stitching.
A smart gown that is to be worn
without jacket is of soft shade of
blue cloth. with the cross-ovcr bodice
edged with white cloth embroidered
in blue braid. 1t has high stock, and
V front of soft silk. The skirt is
trimmed down the front, and eNtend-
ing on each side towards the bottom
in tunic effect. with the white cloth
and blue braid.
One of the startling street gowns
that will grace Paris is of Il light
weight cloth in the tone of ruby. The
skirt is made with a panel front. with
side plaits all around. stitched lust
below the knees. This is trimmed
with seven rows of white mohair
braid around the bottom of the skirt
and on the tight-titting bodice.
A gown of checked cloth is of vivid
red and green. The skirt has two box
plaits at the back, with trimmings of
red and green silk braid forming a
short apron front. The bodice has a
deep pointed yoke filed with rows of
braid. The sleeves and high stock are
finished in the same way.

BOTH HAVE RIGHTS.
Dicyclists ana Pedestrians Who Act
with Common Courtesy Need
Never Have Trouble.

The season is not far distant when
the bicycle will glide noiselessly and
swiftly over the streets to the danger
of passing pedestrians. There are
laws on the subject, and yet it has
never been established to satisfac-
tory degree what are the rights of BIZ
cyclists and what are the rights of pc
destrians. Each insists in words and
by actions that the other has no
rights. Practical possession of the
streets is claimed by wheelmen and
vehicles, and yet pedestrians are com
PEELED by circumstances and the pc
cularities of city construction to use
the streets at intersections. No mat
ter what right bicyclists may have
on the streets i'll general, the cross
ings belong to pedestrians.
There are certain distinctions and
niccties of etiquette that could be fol
lowed by both riders and walkers
which would obviate the ceascless
controversies. First of all it should
be understood that both have rights

scorcher is no more privileged to ped

offenses against the written and the
unwritten laws. Both arc disgraceful
as we'll as dangerous performances
and both are public grievances, for no
man knows but that he will be the
next victim of one or both of the two
idiots.
There is simple distinction be-
tween bicyclists and pedestrians that
should make easy the enactment and
enforcement of all necessary laws for
the protection of the public, both
walking and riding. The bicycle is
vehicle and should be given the priv
ileges and protection accorded other
vehicles, no more, no less. The bicy
clsts that will soon be skmmng

Wheeling q Good Exercise.

The use of the bicycle as means of
exercise ranks among the beneficial
forms of exercise that may be taken.
1t ranks equally with horseback riding,
rowing, swimming, and is superior to
walking. Besides this it is means of
rapid transportation, and forces the
rider into the open air. II is an active
exercise that can be proportioned to
the weakest and the strongest. He
who desires vigorous exercise can OBJ
tain it. No one can ride bicycle and
not have his thoughts taken out of
himself, and at the same time have his
attention pleasantly engaged. The ex-
ercise is fairly distributed over the
body, affecting principally the legs and
arms, and secondarily those great sys-
TENS, the cardiac, glandular and
nervous.

cause the wheel to be retarded without
wear upon the tire.
The position of the brake lever is
such that a downward pressure there
on will not apply the brake, but will
allow the rider to rest his feet upon
it or to use it as step to dismount, if
desired. To apply the brake the rider
will place his foot on the upper end Of

ABOUT ViNOl.
It is the Delicious Tonic We
Advise for Growing
Children.

Is your boy or girl pale and listless ?
Do they act differently from other
children Do they sleep poorly and
eat poorly? Does your boy avoid the
sports and games of other boys? Does
your girl complain of headache and
find her studies hardship?
If so, you may make up your mind
they are growing too fast. They need
something to help nature in her great
work of furnishing the necessary ele-
mcnts for creating flesh and muscle It's
sue, bone structure and rich, pure, red
blood.
They need tonic in the full sense
Of the word and we can tell you what
to get.
1t is Vinol Wine Of Cod-Liver Oil, the
great modern reconstructor. Children
like it, it is so delicious to the taste. in
spite of the fact that it contains a
highly concentrated extract of the
medicinal principles that are found in
cod-liver oil.
But because the vile-smelling and
tasting grease has been discarded and
all of the other disagreeable features
eliminated, the benefits of Ninol are
easily understood.
Viuol acts favorably on the stomach.
creates an appetite and enables the
food that is eaten to do the greatest
possible amount of good.
Following is letter that bears di-
rectly on this subject;

gladly tell any one all we know about
Vinol and why We SO highly endorse it.
lnasmuch as We are always ready and
pleased to refund the cost of Vinol to
those who don't find ii exactly what we
