has been demonstrated time and again.
The diminutive audience that assembled
at Memorial chapel last night was an-
other demonstration of the truth of this
assertion, although in this instance the
additional attraction of strawberries and
cream was included in the admission
price. Colonel Henry’s lecture was en-
tertaining and instructive from begin-
ning to end and deserved a better hearing
than was accorded it. The subject, it is
true, is one that has been worn thread-
bare by the hair-raising novelist, but not-
withstanding this Col. Henry’s experi-
ences proved exceptionally interesting.

Harmony hall contained a fashionable
audience last night, the occasion being a
. complimentary concert tendered to their
. friends by the Mendelssohn and Salaman-
ber societies. The programme was singu-
larly attractive, being light and spark-
ling. There was nothing lengthy or te-
dious and every number of the pro-
> gramme was a gem. The numbers were
as follows:
Part 1—Poets in the Mountains—male
chorus, Engelsberg, Salamander society;
. Air de Valse —clarionet solo, Venzano,
Mr. F. J. Bessel; A Streamlet Full of
Flowers, A Flight of Clouds, Nearest and
Dearest—Tuscan folk songs, Carraciolo,
Mrs. Chas. Fowler, jr., and Miss Emmy
Gareissen; Fair Bothraut, Schumann,
Christmas Choral—XVII Century, Prae-
torius, The Asra, Hiller, Mendelssohn
society; Hair Hedwig—recitation with
piano accompaniment, words by F. Heb-
bel, music oy R. Schumann, Miss Loula
Jockusch; Gavotte — violin quartette,
Scotsan Clark, Masters Gareissen, Mar-
tini, Reymershoffer and Koehler.
Part 2.—The Daisy—contralto solo,
Arditi, Mrs. C. R. Byrne; In Vino Con-
solatio—male chorus, Mendelssohn, Sal-
amander society; Capriccio—piano solo,
Mendelssohn, (with string quintette ac-
companiment), Miss Annie Wilkens;
Love’s Message—soprano solo, Fesca,
Miss Emmy Gariessen; Aubade Maures-
que (serenade) —violin solo, Sauret, Mr.
E. Lindenberg; Stygian Dance, Schar-
wenka, Mendelssohn society. Director
H. Wilkens. Accompanists—Piano, C.
J. Groenwold, Mrs. E. Lindenberg, Miss
Anita Focke, Miss Anna Wilkens; string
quintette, E. Lindenberg, A. Buechner,
F. J. Bessel, H. Wilkens, C. F. Sautter.
The choral contributions by the Men-
delssohn and Salamander societies were
all rendered with a volume and harmony
characteristic of these excellently trained
organizations.
The vocal duet of Mrs. Chas. A. Fow-
ler, jr., and Miss Emma Gareissen was
the gem of the evening, the mezzo soprano
of Miss Gareissen and the beautifully
trained high soprano of Mrs. Fowler
blending in exquisite harmony, which
was raptureously applauded.
Later on Miss Garriessen again
delighted the audience with a solo
selection, which, together with a beauti-
ful contralto solo of Mrs. C. R. Byrne, em-
braced the vocal gems of the evening.
Rather a novel feature was embraced
on the programme in the way of a reci-
tation by Miss Lula Jockusch, one of
Galveston’s most charming elocutionists,
delivered with piano accompaniment.
The piano solo of Miss Anna Wilkens,
played without note, with a string quin-
tette accompaniment, was the crowning
instrumental feature of the programme,
and elicited deserving applause.
All the programme, in fact, was excel-
lently rendered, and floral tributes to the
popular favorites were profuse.
The entertainment last night was a
brilliant closing of the present concert
season.

“Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with-
stood its severest tests, but her vital or-
gans were underminded and death seemed
imminent. For three months she coughed
incessantly and could not sleep. 8he
bought of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New
Discovery for consumption and was so
much relieved on taking first dose that
she slept all night, and with one bottle
has been miraculously cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W.

Contemporary events m France com-
mand the interest of all political ob-
servers. Ministry succeeds ministry in
rapid succession, and the public mind
is greatly perturbed by changes which
indicate such a want of coherence among
avowed friends uf the republic, as
threatens, in the opinion of astute men,
its speedy overthrow, and the substitu-
tion of another from of government in
its place. Amid the confusion of par-
ties are seen the figure of Boulanger and
the mob cheering him on to undertake
an enterprise, should opportunity come
for it as the result of party strife, which
would probably ruin the country. War
with Germany would be an awful mis-
take for the French people to make.
Floquet, head of the new French min-
istry, was born at St. Jean-de-Luz, in
the Basses-Pyrenees, October 5, 1828.
After concluding his studies he was ad-
mitted to the bar of Paris, and soon be-
came noted as an advocate. He also be-
came connected with the editorial man-
agement of several newspapers, includ-
ing the Temps and the Siecle, and his
advanced ideas brought him into diffi-
culty with the government. M. Floquet
is the lawyer who in 1867, when the late
Czar visited the Paris law courts in com-
pany with Emperor Napoleon HI, shout-
ed “Vive la Pologne,” and who subse-
quently headed a subscription for the
purpose of presenting “a revolver of
honor” to Berezowski, the young Pole
who shot at the Czar in the Bois de Bou-
logne. He was prominent in the trial of
Pierre Bonaparte for the murder of Vic-
tor Noir, pleading for the family of the
victim. During the seige of Paris he
was assistant to the mayor of the city.
On the 8th of February, 1871, he was
elected a deputy of Pans. He subse-
quently presided at a political meeting
by which he tried to open the way for
an agreement between the assembly at
Versailles and the Commune. In 1872
he became a member of the municipal
council of Paris, and presided over its
deliberations. He was again elected a
deputy in 1875,and re-elected. In 1882 M.
Floquet became Prefect of the Seine, but
resigned after a brief occupancy of the
office, an i in October of that year was
elected to the Chamber of Deputies, to
represent the town of Perpignan, in the
department of the Pyrenees Orientals.
He resigns the office of President of the
Chamber of Deputies, in order to serve
his country as Premier. It is note worthy
that M. Floquet made his peace with
Russia, a short time ago; but present in-
dications of friendly relations between
the Czar and Germany, forbid the expec-
________ tation that an active alliance between
The was fortunate enongh to cap- France an.du,the Czar against Germany is

ture Colonel Shannon, of A. M. Shan-
non &Co., who have the contract under
the present appropriation for building
the deep water jetties.
“Yes,” said the Colonel, in reply to a
question, “we are getting along with tbe
work, but within a few days will about
double our workjng force and the amount
of work done. We have just made ar-
rangements with the Santa Fe Railway
for the opening of a new stone quary on
their line, and as soon as the necessary
work of getting ready can be done we
will be getting material from both roads.
This will necessitate an increase to al-
most doubling our present force, and
naturally the amount of work per diem
will be almost doubled.”
“What do you think of the outlook
for additional appropriation for harbor
improvements, Colonel?” asked the scribe.
“The outlook is not at all en-
couraging. The river and harbor bill
was brought up entirely too early in the
session and with the important measures
before congress — especially the tariff re-
vision bill, I am apprehensive that the
liver and harbor bill will have a hard
time to get through at this session.”
Col. Shannon was firmly of the opinion
that the completion of the present im-
provements would give all the water on
the bar that would be required.
