Special Dispatch to The Star.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, December 21.-
w. Fl. Garland, the youngest son of FORM
er United States Attorney General and
Senator A. H. Garland, committed suicide
in Hotel Marion today by drinking CO.
caine. Garland arrived in Little Rock
last night from Chicago, which city he
made his home FOR the last six years.
This morning he was found by Manager
Letton pacing the hall on the fifth floor
raving like a maniac
DR.. Runyan was called and after admin
istering opiates Garland was quoted and
engaged the gentleman in conversation.
He said he was sorry that any one had
interfered with his attempt to commit sui
eide, as he was tired of living and want
ed to die. He said he came to Little
Rock to kill himself in order to be at
his Old home, and where he could be
buried beside his father, whose remains
are Inferred in Mount Holly cemetery.
While talking with DR.. Runyan and Mr..
Lection he was seized with commissions
and Immediately expired.
VIII Garland was about forty years of
age and resided nearly all his life in Little
Rock up to the time his father was ap-
pointed Attorney general by President
Cleveland. At one time he was second
lieutenant in one of the companies of the
Arkansas State National Guard. 1t was
tICh thdI ilc GULL dCiSu Tile CoCdAic dHo
morphine habit, which remained with him
until his last moments:
Influence of the Drug.
While under the influence Of the drug
he burglarized jewelry store in Chicago
several years ago and served one year in
the workhouse of that city.
But little was heard of him since
that time until his arrival in Little
Rock last night. Garland was given
all the advantages of a good education
and had contributed a great deal
to the magazines and newspapers Of the
country. He also wrote book entitled
The Broken Lochet," which had quite
an extensive sale. He married a young
lady at Alexander, this county, several
years ago, but she secured a divorce
from him shortly before he went to Chi
cago.
Miss Garland, his only sister, also COM
mitted suicide about twelve years ago.

Proper Care of the Eyes

thorough wash-out is to use regula-

lids and makes possible q complete
bath
For those who have had no expert
ence with the use Of an eyeglass !
want to say that II should be about
three-quarters full before it is placed
directly over the eye with the lids
closed The head must be thrown
back when the glass is turned down
and then the lids opened and the eye
ball rolled around. This operation
should last but a few seconds and Will
ordinarily bring immediate relief.
Whether or not there are particles
Of dirt, etc, on the eyeballs that cause
pain, think it advisable to wash out
the eyes, especially on windy days,
after coming into house or office, for
then the gritty specks win be cleaned
away, the Eyes left fresh and bright
looking. and there can be no danger
Of infection from germs contained in
the dust. Use a solution Of boric acid
for these washings, and if convenient
an eyeglass.
Il wish / could make women, and
men, too, understand that It is quite
as essential to wash out the eyes
when they are full Of dirt as it is to
cleanse the hands when they are
solled, for If / could I know much o.
the trouble that often becomes chronic
and resul;s In the use Of glasses would
be avoided and an eyeglass and
bottle Of boric acid would be eonsid
cred as essential to physical clean
liness as is soap.
Every one. for hygienic reasons
should wash out the eyes with iv'
per cent soIution Of boric acid eacl

them. but soothes and allays siigh

"But what are you going to DOR
I'm going to set people over the
river" she said.
She was trim and graceful and ap-
peared delicate, but she was strong,
the strength Of fne-drawn steel. Her
management of the big boat for wag-
ons and teams was a constant sur
prise. =.
Late one afternoon, while Tony was
sitting on the shore reading, there
came loud cry from the opposite
bank. THE canoe-bring 1t as quick

She leaped into the canoe and skim
