The pitiable tale concerning the im-
poverished and starving condition of
Mrs. Delia J. S. Parnell does not re-
dound to the credit of Philadelphia, the
alleged “city of brotherly love.” But
perhaps the line is drawn at “sisters.”
The fund for the Grady monument ap-
pears to be outstripping the fund for the
Davis monument in the south.
In Brazil the people of each province
have a flag of their own and recognize no
other. To even think “Vive 1’Emperor I”
is dangerous, although the exiled Dom
has staunch friends in his former home.
If the proposition now on foot to im-
port from Oregon and California,Chinese
to clean the streets of New York City, is
carried out, then look out for a thorough
cleaning of the streets—of Chinamen.
Who says that railroads in Texas do
not pay ? Just look here. In round num-
bers the expenses of lines in operation in
this state last year was $24,000,000 and
interest on bonds $13,000,000. The total
charges were $37,000,000 and the total
earnings $28,000,000. How’s that.

“In the great majority of southern com-
munities the negro casts his vote as free
from molestation as he does in New
York or Pennsylvania. In the excep-
tional instance he is the victim of race
prejudice, which time and the corrective
force of public sentiment can alone re-
move.” Thus boldly does the Brooklyn
Eagle assert itself, notwithstanding it is
upon the exchange list of Whitelaw
Reid’s bloody-shirt Saunter.
IMPROVED SERVICE.
Arrangements have been completed by
which Evening Tribune secures the ad-
vantages of a system of special telegraph
service covering every important point in
the state—a service that will be practi-
cally equal to that of any other paper in
Texas. It has required much time and
expense to arrange the details, but this is
now accomplished, and now only delays
and friction incident to the starting of
new machinery lie between its promising
fulfillment. This arrangement is made
and the additional expense incurred in
full faith that our patrons—advertisers
and subscribers—will promptly recognize
the enterprise of the paper in inaugurat-
ing such an important news service.

There is now outstanding of the old
fractional paper currency something like
$15,000,000. And of this it is estimated
that not more than three to five millions
will ever come in. A great deal of it has
been worn out by the wear and tear of
twenty odd years of usage. This fact
furnishes a capital argument in fayor of
the dollar of our daddies.
“Fatal Explosions” is becoming to be
a popular head-line in the newspapers of
the present. So rapidly do these catas-
trophies occur that news of a less start-
ling nature is crowded out. The last
three “fatal explosions” furnish a total
of forty-one mangled corpses, and double
that number of maimed and shattered
bodies. Surely someone is to blame for
this wholesale slaughter.
Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
and often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “ all gone ”
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu-

Cleanliness a Modern Virtue.
The English upper classes are clean,
but cleanliness of any high degree is a
very modern virtue among them. It is
an invention of the Nineteenth century.
Men and women born at the close of the
Eighteenth century did as the French
people do today; they took a warm bath
occasionally for cleanliness, and they
took shower baths when they were pre-
scribed by the physician for health, and
they bathed in summer seas for pleasure,
but they did not wash themselves all
over every morning. However, the new
custom took deep root in England, be-
cause it became one of the signs of class.
It was adopted as one of the habits of a
gentleman.—Pall Mall Budget.
Wrongly Translated.
The story is an old one of the party of
tired travelers who entered a house decor-
ated by a peculiar sign and demanded
oysters.
“This is not a restaurant,” said the
courteous gentleman who met them. “I
am an aurist.”
“Isn't that an oyster hung outside the
door?” asked one.
“No, gentlemen, it is an ear.”
A body of sailors from an American
vessel, stopping at Samoa, went to the
German consulate and demanded dinner.
“This is not a hotel,” said the offended
domestic official who met them.
“Well, if it isn’t a restaurant, what’s
that black fowl hung out for? Ain’t it a
sign?” inquired the spokesman.
The “sign” was the German eagle, the
consular coat of arms.—Youth’s Com-
panion.
Two Games.
Little Johnnie—Le’s play stage robber.
You come alone and I’ll spring out with
a pistol and take away everything you’ve
got.
Little Jimmie—But we haven’t got no
pistol nor nuth’n like a stage! Tell you
what; when you come along I’ll get you
to sign a paper and then I can rob you
just the same without a pistol.
“All right, we’ll play ‘Loan Agent,’
if you like it better.”—Texas Siftings,
An elaborate reform bill, patterned
after, in most of its features, the Austra-
lian system, has been introduced in the
West Virginia legislature. Recent de-
velopments in that state, showing the
methods by which the republicans under-
took to carry the state, would suggest the
most urgent necessity for either a reform
ballot or the enlargement of the peniten-
tiaries. It is, however, noticeably un-
fortunate that the states most really in
need of reforms of this kind are the most
reluctant to adopt them.

Staple and Fandy Groceries.

That Satisfied Him.
“Last Monday morning,” he began, in
a solemn voice, “last Monday morning I
stopped here and ordered a large list of
groceries. Today is Thursday, and they
have not come up yet!”
“They haven’t! Oh, yes, I remember
now,” replied the grocer.
“What’s the excuse?”
“You are owing us $40 and we can fill
no further order until that is paid.”
“Is that it?”
“It is.”
“Then it is all right. I didn’t know
but one of your horses was sick—a wagon
smashed up—forgetful clerk, dr some-
thing of that sort.' That makes it all
right.”—Detroit Free Press.
“It is not characteristic of the Ameri-
can people,” says the New York Mail
and Express, referring to the Grant
monument, “to commence an undetak-
ing and then allow it to languish.”
The Rev. Mr. Sheppard is quite correct
in his allusion to the American people.
But New York people seem to be of a
different breed. New York promised
everything when she was bidding for the
remains of the nation’s dead. But New
Yffirk’s fulfillments prove conclusively
that New York people often commence
an undertaking and then allow it to
languish.
Although San Francisco has been
pretty roughly handled on account of its
patronage of prize-fights by the press of
the country, it still.continues to boom the
heroes of the ring. There are four flour-
ishing athletic clubs there which offer
big purses to such pugilists as Sullivan,
Kilrain, McAuliffe, Cleary, Conley, Jack-
son, Cardiff, La Blanche and Dempsey.
Money is no object when fistic talent is
available. Within the last two years the
California Athletic club alone has spent
$17,000 on its quarters, $20,000 for carry-
ing on the club, and $29,000 for prizes—
making a total of $66,900. The Golden
Gate club has expended $35,000 in culti-
vating pugilism, and the other clubs
$15,000—making a total of $116,900 paid
by San Francisco for athletic culture.
A mighty king, long, long ago,
With voice of grief and face of woe
To his court wizard did complain:
“Sir Wizard, I am said to reign,
But what with councilors and hordes
Of bishops, judges, generals, lords,
Prime ministers and those they call
The people, I have no right at all
' To call my life my own. They talk
Of duty, laws and charters, balk
My wishes, dog my steps, torment
My every hour with precedent.
State tactics and prerogative,
Till I would rather die than live.
I bid thee, then—if aught I hold
Of royal power to bid—be bold;
Take thou my crown, I grudge it not,
And give me in exchange a lot,
I care not how confined it be,
Wherein is absolute sovereignty.”
Then groaned the wizard sad, but still
Received the crown against his will,
And swift, with wand and astrolabe, he
Transformed the king into a baby!
—Amos R. Wells in Wide Awake.
Improved in Jail.
Every time a batch of jail prisoners are
arraigned in the criminal court I am
struck by the vast improvement in their
personal appearance that a few months’
confinement gives them. In 99 cases out
of 100 they are a coarse, brutal, heavy
drinking class, and show their low
habits in their .faces. In the jail they
get the whisky out of their skins, the so
called jail pallor leaves their faces clear
and white, and more or less refined, and
they make a better impression upon a
jury than they certainly would if brought
to trial when first arrested. A striking
case in point was Sanders, the dog
catcher, who killed Police Officer Printz.
When he was first put in jail he was
about the toughest, bloated and alto-
gether brutalized specimen of humanity
I had ever seen. Eight months later he
was brought to trial. It was almost im-
possible to recognize in the pale, finely
drawn features of the quiet, self pos-
sessed and intelligent talking prisoner
the hoodlum of the previous year. His
appearance made such a good impression
that lie got off with a two years’ sen-
tence, when I believe if the same jury
had seen him as I did he would have
been sent up for life.—Circuit Attorney
in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

James S. Montgomery, administrator of the es-
tate of the R. A. Crossman, deceased, having
filed in our County court his final account of

years after date, and bearing interest at 10 per
cent, payable annually at Galveston, Texas, and

a league of land granted to Abram Durst, in Bra-
zoria county, Texas, and known as a part of
Damons’ Mound.

His Tribute.
Old Peter Rice, for many years a resi-
dent of a certain New England village,
was one of those unwise and unjust men
who never praise their wives, and who
do not seem to realize how blessed they
are in the way of companions until
death comes suddenly to leave them des-
olate and uncared for.
Old Peter’s kindly, uncomplaining and
unappreciated wife died suddenly one
day, and Peter came at once to a realiz-
ing sense of her many virtues, and was
evidently filled with a longing to prove
to his friends that he was not blind to
his wife’s perfections.
This desire increased as the hour for
the funeral services drew near, and when
all the friends had assembled at the
house Peter touched the hearts as well as
the palates of those present by suddenly
appearing with a huge yellow bowl piled
high with doughnuts in his hands.
Passing from one to the other of his
friends he said with tearful earnestness:
“Have one; they are the very last of
my pore Marier’s bakin’, and they can’t
be beat—no, they can’t! Pore, pore
Marier!”—Detroit Free Press.
What Our Esteemed. Exchanges are
Talking about.
Politics will have a good deal to do
with settling the question of the site of
the world’s fair. The New York papers
charge that the republicans do not W’ant
a world’s fair in New’ York in 1892, be-
cause that is a presidential year and the
democrats might obtain some advantage
from it, and Me-Too Platt admits that
such is the fact.—Dallas News.
The republican party be blowed. It is
not what the party wants. It is what
Pasha Reed wants and what Pasha Reed
don’t want. If he wants a world’s fair
he will have it. If he don’t want a
world’s fair he won’t have it. So there’s
an end on it.
The president of the Texas base-ball
league gives the assurance of “good ball”
for the coming season. But that is not
what Fort Worth wants. She wants the
promise of some batters who can send
a ball right through a Dallas mon without
stopping to examine his anatomy. It
makes no difference to us where the pen-
nant goes, so we can give an impetus to
the porus plaster trade of Dallas.—Fort
Worth Mail.
It can be put down as a fact that this
is the first and only instance on record
w’here a Fort Worth paper admitted that
Dallas had a trade of any kind or charac-
ter to build up, and it will perhaps re-
main the only instance of w’here a Fort
Worth paper expressed a willingness to
give an impetus to any Dallas enterprise.
The letter of State Superintendent
Cooper, on the subject of uniform text
books in the public schools, directs at-
tention to an important matter which
ought to be settled as early as possible.
As Mr. Cooper suggests, there are many
difficulties in the way, but some steps
could certainly be taken in the direction
of uniformity, which would begin to
bring order out of the chaotic condition
which now exists throughout the state.
As a matter of fact any established series
of text books, recognized in the best
schools elsewhere, would answer the pur-
pose of general instruction and their use
would save much annoyance to teachers
and pupils and much expense to parents.
—Waco Day.
It w’ould do more, even, than this. It
w’ould save school boards from the impu-
tation of being individually interested in
-the frequent changing of books. We can-
not agree with Mr. Cooper as to the diffi-
culties in the way. It has never been de-
nied that, “the way to resume is to re-
sume.” The way to adopt uniform school
books for Texas is to adopt them. And
the deaf and dumb asylum printing office
might be utilized by the state in printing
her own school books.
The Galveston Tribune advises the
public that it has completed a special
telegraphic service, by which the latest
new’s of the state will be furnished its
readers. This is highly enterprising and
praiseworthy. The Express is glad to
note the evidence of prosperity. It re-
grets, however, that the reception of two
or three specials by an even twinkier is
invariably followed by the breaking out
of an absolute rash of editorial.—San
Antonio Express.
When we win our great damage suit
against Texas legislators for kicking our
----out of the legislative halls we can
afford to have editorial writers with an
M. D. attachment so that rash may be
prevented or cured.
