Et Is the Second Word Which Fans the
Angry Spark Into Flame.
The first words of a quarrel, which are gen-
erally too. trifling to be remembered, are like
the few sparks that fall upon the dry leaves
of the forest. The angry retort is the puff
of wind that blows them into a flame. Then
the mischief is done past recall. Then two
hearts, friendly a moment before, are full of
anger. Then words are spoken which may
be forgiven, but hardly forgotten, and the
friendship is seldom quite as it was before.
Hence the old saying, “It is the second word
that makes the quarrel.” That second word
usually.-.wounds the pride or the self love of
him to whom it is addressed. It may take a
form that implies a doubt of the other’s
veracity—a dire offense to any one not wholly
debased. Often it insinuates a low, small,
unworthy motive. Sometimes the madden-
ing word is a truth, as when Brutus told Cas-
sius he had an “itching palm to sell his offices
for gold.” Cassius was so enraged that he

I au itching palm !
You know that you are Brutus that speak this,
Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last.
Ugly truths must sometimes be spoken, but
not when two persons are bound by interest
and duty to avoid quarreling.
Another most irritating retort is one which
attributes cowardice. Courage and truth-
fulness being the very foundations of respect-
able character, a remark which conveys an
intimation of a want of either is a pure pro-
vocative of quarrel.
There are tones in the voice .which cannot
be described, but every reader, unless he is a
high class saint, has used them in the early
moments of a quarrel. The most innocent
thing in the world may be said in such a way
as to rasp and humiliate, particularly if it is
accompanied by a certain look out of the
eyes.
Human beings, old or young, never appear
in so poor and mean a light as when they are
quarreling. A family quarrel is among the
most sorrowful and vulgar of all displays of.
human infirmity.
Among people living in the same house,
sitting three times a day at the same table,
being together in the evening, working to-
gether in the daytime, all possessing a ner-
vous system and a tender self love, it must
needs be that offenses come. Irritating words
will be unintentionally spoken, expected at-
tentions will be omitted, the material of a
quarrel will frequently be created. Two
things should be borne in mind by every in-
mate: one is, that it takes two persons, at
least, to make a quarrel; the other, that the
quarrel usually dates from the second word.
Tom—What did you take.my bat for?
Charles—I didn’t take your bat, and you
know it.
Tom—You are a liar I
In this case Charles made the quarrel, be-
cause he met the merely irritating first word
with a grossly insulting- second. Put down
the brakes hard upon the second word.—

THE COURT RECORD.
So Says Mr. Greenwall—Galveston to he
a One Night Stand.
“It is really a shame,” ejaculated
Manager Greenwall this morning when
asked by Evening Tribune if the result
of the present season had come up to his
expectations. “A downright shame,” he
continued, “to see how Galveston is fall-
ing behind the other cities in the state in
regard to theatrical patronage. It has
become almost an established fact now’
that the very best attractions do the very
w'orst business, and that the inferior
merit invariably plays to paying houses.
Look at the wretched business done by A
Possible Case, Sweet Lavender and Sur-
prises of Divorce. They rank among,
the best drawing cards on the road
and have everywhere achieved success.
But here, after "the first night, the attend-
ance diminishes down to almost noth-
ing.”
“Perhaps the attractions follow each
other in a succession too rapid to warrant
full houses from a city of our popula-
tion,” suggested Evening Tribune.
“That can not be prevented,” returned
Mr. Green wall, and is not a satisfactory
excuse. If matters continue as they
have Galveston will be placed on record
as a one-night stand, and even then it
will be difficult to induce first-class
troupes to come here.”
Leaving the disappointed manager to
his own bitter reflections, Evening Tri-
bune departed to think the mat! er seri-
ously over and search out a remedy if
possible.

inherited Blood Poison.
How many people there are whose distress
from sores, aches, pains and eruptive tenden-
cies are due to inherited blood poison. Bad
blood passes from parent to child, and it there-
fore is the duty of husband and wife to keep
their blood pure. This is easily accomplished
by the timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, for a
book of most convincing proof.
James Hill, Atlanta, Ga,, writes: “My two
sons were afflicted with blood poison, which
doctors said was hereditary. They both broke
out in sores and eruptions, which B. B. B.
promptly controlled and finally cured com-
pletely.”
Mrs. S. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes:
“My three poor afflicted children, who inher-
ited blood poison, have improved rapidly after
a use of B. B. B. It is a godsend.”
J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, N. C., Feb.
13,1885, writes: “Bone and blood polibn forced
me to have my leg amputated,and on the stump
there came a large ulcer, which grew wore .every
day until doctors gave me up to die. I only
weighed 120 pounds when I began to take B. B.
B., and twelve bottles increased my weight to
180 pounds and made me sound and well. I
never knew what good health was before.”

Tlie Keport of tlie Trouble in the Banks
Denied by One Who Knows.
Referring to the reported row between
the two carnival societies in New Or-
leans as to the right of way on Canal
street during the Mardi Gras celebration,
Mr. Henry Greenwall stated to Evening
Tribune this morning that he antici-
pated no trouble.
“The members of the Proteus and
Komus societies are gentlemen”, he
said, “and are desirous of making the
carnival a .success in every particular.
They have a mutual understanding that
the first society on the ground will be en-
titled to the right of way. There is as a
matter of course a friendly spirit rivalry
existing, but the idea of there being two
processions on the same night
is preposterous. Over $100,000 have
been expended by the four societies,
and it is not likely that they
will let any petty jealousy marr the pleas-
ures of.New Orleans’ great festival.”
Mr. Greenwall grew enthusiastic when
describing the grand and extensive
preparation that had been made for the
coming carnival. He further said that
Rex and Proteus will give their tableaux
and balls on the same evening—the
former at Artillery hall and the other at
the Grand opera-house—while Komus
has secured the French opera-house. On
Thursday evening, February 13, the fol-
lowers of Momus will give their carnival
ball. Extensive preparations have been
made for the entertainment of visitors
and every one is sanguine that this
year’s Mardi-Gras will eclipse all other
efforts.

In Ten Years It is Transformed from an
Obscure Mexican Village to a Great
Industrial City—Enterprise and Ener-
gy on tlie Rio Grande Frontier.
“Talk about your booms in real estate
and the rapid development of various
cities throughout the state, they are noth-
ing compared to the wonderful transform-
ation which has taken place in Laredo,
Texas-, in the past few years.”
The speaker was a ivell known Galves-
tonion, whose spirit of enterprise and rare
business tact has made his name a house-
hold word in commercial circles. He had
just returned from a tour of investigation
along the Rio Grande frontier, and was
highly elated wuth the future prospects of
the prosperous country.
a commercial center.
“Yes, sir,” he continued, “Laredo is
bound to be the gateway between the
United States and Mexico. It - possesses
in a marked degree all the requisite
advantages for booming one of the larg-
est commercial and most prosperous
cities in the state. The vast territory of
southwest Texas and northern Mexico is
its tributary, and being two hundred and
fifty miles nearer the trade centers of the
United States and Mexico than any other
point on the American side of the Rio
Grande there is nothing to prevent its
becoming a veritable bonanza to the pro-
gressiue people who have located there.”
LAREDO IN 1880.
“How do you account for this rapid
growth?” asked Evening Tribune.
“Her abundance of raw materials and
valuable coal fields ; her equable climate,
pure water and fertile soil; her well de-
served reputation for maintaining law
and order; her absence of race prejudices
and the splendid opportunities presented
to the farmer, the mechanic, the laborer
and the capitalist. I was in Laredo in
1880, when it was merely a Mexican vil-
, lage, without a hotel or a public school,
and the inhabitants sought only the in-
dolent repose of the Spanish-Indian civ-
ilization.
THE MARVELOUS GROWTH OF
SOUTHWEST TEXAS TOWN.
LAREDO IN 1890.
“To-day Laredo contains a handsome
court-house and jail which cost $58,000,
a substantial city hall and market-house
costing $48,000, two large depots,
twelve miles of water mains, six news-
papers, telegraph and telephone
system, Edison incandescent electric
light two seminaries, costing $100,000,
eleven public schools, an ore concentra-
tor, costing $200,000, an ore sampling-
works, costing $30,000, six miles of elec-
tric street railway and a fine steel rail-
way bridge connecting the two Laredos.
The immense car and machine shops of
the Mexican National railway system are
located there, where 300 men are em-
ployed. Factories of every description,
and enterprises of gigantic importance
thrive and flourish under the care of
zealous and capable business men.
“The population of Laredo in 1886 was
3,000, now it is 12,000; an increase of 100
per cent each year. In 1886 its exports
and imports figured up $1,000,000
while last year the amount reached
$10,000,000. This is marvelous pro-
gress and especially so as present in-
dications justify expectations of continu-
ous increase.
LAREDO’S RESOURCES.
“What are the resources of Laredo ?”
They are too numerous to enumerate.
The most important, however, are the
immense and inexhaustible veins of coal,
silver,-iron and clays.- The coal mines
cover an area of 100 miles, and the great
bed underlies the ci*y where every man-
ufacturer may mine his own fuel upon his
own property. Thus far only the surface
of the vein has been worked and the sys-
tem of mining has been of the simplest
character.
In the region immediately surrounding
Laredo the following may be obtained in
great abundance, and at merely nominal
cost: Wool, cotton, rope, Merino
wool, Angora goat. hair and
.silk, hides, silver, lead, zinc, copper,
iron, valuable clays for pottery, lime,
mineral paints, guano, lime phosphates,
and a vast deposit of hydraulic cement.
“Capital is coming into Laredo from
St. Louis, Chicago and other large cities
almost daily, and the population is
steadily increasing. I took advantage of
the .tempting offers for investment,”
concluded Evening Tribune’s inform-
ant, “and I will advise all of my friends
to do the same. Good-day. Keep your
eye on Laredo. It’s a sure winner.”

CITY. '
Justice Spann was without a visitor
yesterday in his department of the record-
er’s court.
The police are strictly enforcing the
ordinance which prohibits the running of
vehicles without license.
The school children are enjoying a hol-
iday to-day. On Monday the result of
the recent examinations will be made
known.
The juries in the criminal court were
discharged for the term this morning,
there being nothing further for their
consideration.
This delightful weather has brought the
base ball enthusiasts out in full force, not-
withstanding the fact that the law forbids
ball-tossing on the street.
City Assessor Sherwood has completed
the unrendered school roll for the year
1889-90 and will probably report the
same to the city council next Monday.
On motion of the prosecuting attorney
this morning the case of August Bruno
Thunig, charged with forgery, was post-
poned until tlie next term of the criminal
court.
According to the pay roll to be submit-
ted to the board of health this afternoon
it appears that it cost the city $1,110 to
keep the streets and alleys in a sanitary
condition.
The only delinquent before the record-
er’s court to-day was George McCubbins,
who got out with the boys last night and
crooked his elbow a little too frequently.
Mayor Fulton dismissed tlie charge of
drunk and disorderly conduct upon a
promise from Mr. McCubbins that he
would do so no more.
DEATH’S SHINING MARK.
At the annual stockholders’ meeting o
the Texas Star Flour mills, held in their
office on the 27th inst., the following res-
olution was made by Mr. Geo. Schneider
and passed unanimously:
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty
in his great wisdom to take from our
midst by death our respected and es-
teemed superintendent, director and
member, Mr. Lothar Becker, it is hereby
resolved;
That, the stockholders of the Texas
Star Flour mills deeply mourn his un-
timely and unexpected loss, and with the
deepest emotion tender herewith, to Mrs.
L. Becker and each member of his family,
their sicerest and heartfelt condolence in
their bereavement.
It is further resolved that a copy of this
resolution be sent to Mrs. L. Becker and
each member of his family, and that the
Galveston News and Evening Tribune
be requested to publish the same.

Tlie Unsanitary Condition of the Alleys
to be Investigated.
An important meeting of the board of
health will be held this afternoon at 4.30
o’clock. Inquiries will be made into the
unsanitary condition of the flats at the
head of Twenty-fifth street, which have
been recently filled. A report from
Health Inspector A. Duffard, calling at-
tention to the horrid condition of the
various alleys in the city, will also be
read and acted upon.
Although the majority of the alleys are
fit subjects for the special attention of the
board of health, only the following have
been selected on account of their contigu-
ity to the main resident portion of the city.
This list furnished embraces alleys be-
tween Broadway and avenue K and Twen-
ty-third and Twenty-fourth streets;
avenue L and M and Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets; Broadway and
avenue Kand Twentieth and Twenty-sec-
ond streets; Church and Bostoffice and
Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets;
Market and Mechanic and Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets; Mechanic and Strand
and Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets;
Mechanic and Strand and Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets; Winnie and avenue H
and Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets;
Winnie and avenue H and Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets; Bostoffice and Church
and Nineteenth and Twentieth streets;
avenue M from Tremont to Twenty-eighth
street.
Mr. Duffard, in a conversation with
Evening Tribune this morning said:
“Since the new water works sys-
tem had been adopted the alleys
had been choked up with a flow
from the surface water drains from the
residences, and in many instances this
lias left the alleys in a very unsanitary
condition. The pools of water are per-
mitted to collect and become stagnant on
account of their being no drain to carry
the refuse off either to the gulf or bay.”
Some of the alleys he said were ren-
dered entirely impassable.
