HANNA & LEONARD.
All day yesterday the big store, north-
west corner 22d and Market, was crowded,
many persons impatient for the auction
and anxious to secure some desired thing.
Never in Galveston, it is safe to say, has
ever an auction sale in any mercantile
establishment excited more general inter-
est. People seemed to realize that the
goods would go for nothing, and that’s ex-
actly what occurred. The prices that
were paid for many articles were far be-
low cost of manufacture, but they had
to go. Gold watches, gold rings, silver and
silver plated ware, precious stones, etc.,
all sold at ridiculously low prices.
The sale will be continued every day,
commencing at 2 p. m. and 7 p. m., and
will continue until all the goods are sold.
Special provision made for ladies. Goods
sold at private sale during other hours.

Closing remarks.
The Practice of Advising and Excusing
Them to Cease.
The judges of Galveston have ben ex-
ceedingly lenient with boys charged with
offenses against the majesty of the law.
They have been in the habit of giving the
boys some good fatherly advice1, admon-
ishing them to go and sin no more, and
warning them that they will not be ex-
cused if brought to court the second time.
But excuses have been made for the sec-
ond and third times, and as a consequence
many of the boys have-taken their arrest
as a joke, and have snapped their fingers
at the legal machinery.
But the time has arrived when forgive-
ness must cease. The courts can not bear
with the boys always, and they must go
to trial like little men.
Willie Anderson and Tom Daley are
charged with burglary and theft, and Will
Sullivan, Jim Ray and John Cross with
theft, their cases growing out of the tak-
ing of some pigeons. They were before his
honor, Judge Cavin, in the criminal dis-
trict court this morning, and each of them
was called to the box for a conference with
the judge. Some of the boys have no
parents to be charged with keeping their
feet in the straight and narow path; others
are minus one parent.
Willie Anderson is the youngest of the
lot. He is a good looking little fellow,
and though he is but 10 years of age, and
has had no opportunities worth mention-
ing, is as bright as a dollar. He looks like
a boy that might, with good handling,
make his mark. He told Judge Cavin this
morning that he worked in a hardware
store and earned the money to clothe him-
self, and rolled napkins in a restaurant for
his “feed.” He indicated an unwilling-
ness to return to the parental roof, saying
that he didn’t like his stepfather “very
well.”
Willie has been in court before, and if
he has profited by the judicial clemency
extended and fatherly advice given, it is
not glitteringly manifest. The cases were
postponed until Tuesday morning, and if
some one does not appear by that time who
will vouch to keep the boys out of the
snares which have heretofore beset them,
they will be brought to trial.
TODAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
With the noted Bishop E. J. Dunne of
Dallas as the celebrant, with Bishop Galla-
gher assisting at the throne and with
priests from far and near and nearly all
the local Catholic priests in attendance, it
is no wonder the chapel of the Ursuline
convent was crowded this morning at the
solemn high mass sung for all living bene-
factors, friends and pupils of the institu-
tion. Each morning since the jubilee cele-
bration began the chapel has been filled
with worshippers, and spectators. By
spectators is meant non-Catholics who are
attracted by the beauty of such a service
as has been celebrated each morning, or
who have relatives or friends in the acad-
emy. That the number of these spectators
has been relatively large was apparent to
any one present. These spectatoi-s, judg-
ing by their comments, were much im-
pressed by the splendor and pomp of the
masses said.
Of all the priests who are serving the
Committees Constituted to Entertain the
Editors and Officers.
An adjourned meeting of the representa-
tives of the business organizations of the
city and the railroads was held in the of-
fice of the secretary of the Chamber ot
commerce last evening to hear the report
of the committee appointed to suggest
plans for the entertainment of the Na-
tional editorial association and the offi-
cers of the battle ship Texas. Mr. Ousley
presided, the chairman, Col. John D.
Rogers, being absent.
The provisional committee reported as
follows:
“We suggest the appointment of eight
committees to be designated as follows:
Executive committee, finance committee,
transportation committee, printing com-
mittee, public comfort committee, enter-
tainment committee, reception committee,
committee of escort.
“The executive committee to consist of
seven members and the chairman of each
of the other committees, who shall be ex -
officio members only. This committee to
supervise and control all matters pertain-
ing to this event and pass upon the work
of the other committees.
“The finance committee shall collect the
necessary funds and disburse them upon
the recommendation of the executive com-
mittee1.
“The transportation committee’s efforts
are to be used in securing the best rates
possible to Galveston during the stay or.
the National editorial association to see
the coast country, and for them and the
public to visit the ship and the jetties.
“The printing committee is to- procure
suitable badges, arrange for the compila-
tion and printing of a folder about Gal-
veston and through the press of the city
and state secure as wide publicity of all
matters of interest connected with the
events as is possible. It shall also see
to any other printing required.
“The public comfort committee shall see
to the satisfactory disposition of all visit-
ors among the various hotels and board-
ing houses of the city.
“The entertainment committee will pre-
pare entertainment for the National edi-
torial association three afternoons and
one night during their stay.
“The reception committee shall see that
the members of the National editorial as-
sociation and all guests are properly re-
ceived; that the governor of Texas ami
other notables are invited to the presenta-
tion. of the silver service, which it shall
arrange for in conjunction with the state
committee, and plan receptions for the
ship’s officers.
“The committee of escort shall see to
the comfort and convenience of the Na-
tional editorial association and guests at
any and all times during their stay with
us; have them advised of the principal
points of interest to be seen in and about
the city and the best methods of reaching
the same; see that they are properly es-
corted when desired and that any and all
manner of information and accommoda-
tion are supplied to the visitors.
“JOHN D. ROGERS,
Chairman.”
The executive committee was named as
follows; John D. Rogers, George M.
Courts, Wm. F. Ladd, Clarence Ousley,
R. B. Hawley, E. S. Levy and Walter
Gresham. The other committees will be
completed in a few days.
The committee consisting of Mr. John
D. Hedges and Mr. Clarence Ousley, who
originally requested Secretary Herbert to
send at least a portion of the Atlantic
squadron to Galveston, were asked to
write him again, reminding him that he
had neglected to reply except as to the
Texas.
The meeting adjourned subject to call
of the executive committee. The trans-
portation and executive committees will
meet Saturday night.

It would have required a hall twice or
thrice as large as that of the Ursuline
academy, to accommodate such a. crowd
as wished to hear the jubilee concert last
night. Every seat was occupied, the aisles
were
stood
were
seated, and yet there were perhaps 200 or
300 who didn’t hear a song or the sound
of a piano throughout the evening.
The audience was a representative one.
While Roman .Ca-tholics were in the ma-
jority, every creed and class had a share
in the success of the entertainment. Many
of the men were in full dress, and not a
few women wore the regulation evening
costume. A delegation from the young
men’s institute, headed by Father Kirwin,
each member wearing a badge, marched
into the academy just at 8 o’clock.
Of the program, a great deal in praise
can be said. It was high clas through-
out, and some of the best amateurs in the
city took part, but there was one feature
that deserves special mention.
Concert recitations are usually enough
to try the patience of persons as gentle as
the nuns. Ordinarily not one recitation out
of 20 is worth the hearing, but if there is
any particular kind of recitation that is
condemned more than another, it is that
of the child variety. More hypercritical
praise has probably been bestowed on chil-
I dren who can not recite, but whose par-
ents persist in having them recite, and
more white lies have been told just in or-
der to avoid offending fond parents than,
perhaps, for any other cause. It was
probably on that account that some per-
sons Who glanced over the program of
last evening and saw that one of the num-
bers was a recitation shivered and wished
that it was over. What made the pros-
pect still more gloomy and increased the
trepidation was that it wasn’t by one
youthful prodigy, but by two, and was “by
request.”
But whatever alarm
peared a few moments
Misses Ray and Kelley began to tell of
“The Drowning Singer.” That was the
title of the story that they told, and no
sweeter or prettier recitation has been
heard in Galveston in many years. One of
the girls has a voice of purity and volume
that is really remarkable in one so young.
The story is of a wreck. A man is cling-
ing to a mast. A priest is on the shore,
doing all that human can do to rescue the
drowning man. All hope being gone the
priest raises his voice to its greatest
height and shouts to the drowning man,
“Look to Jesus; can you hear?” Then, over
the waters comes the answer, “Aye, aye,
sir,” and soon the priest hears the strains
of the glorious hymn, “Jesu Admirabilis.”
It is the drowning man. Facing the great
beyond, he raises his voice to God. He
sings a song of exaltation. He is entering
the gates of paradise.
The sweet voiced girls gave a rendition
of “Jesu Admirabilis,” as it is supposed
to be heard by the priest upon the shore,
and as it is echoed back to him by the
storm. The exquisite'inelody, the charm of
the rendition, the sweetnes of the chil-
dren’s voices and the delicacy of the whole
story cannot be fittingly described, but no
one who heard that number last night but
felt better for the experience. It is with
no disparagement of the many talented
persons who gave their aid to make the
concert the grand success that it was to
say that “The Drowning Singer” was the
treat of the evening.
When the girls finished there was a burst
of rapturous applause that showed how
well the audience appreciated the whole
story and its charming' interpreters.
The Quartette society are so well known
that it seems idle to praise their work.
Mr. Becker and his confreres were in fine
voice last night and sang in their best
style. There were 26 of the members of
the society participating in the “Brownies'
Polka” and the “Cradle Song,” and later
in the evening the society sang “The
Night Is Still,” “The Bold Fisherman”
and “The Beetle and the Flower.”
Mr. A. J. F. Parker sang several beauti-
ful songs. His talented wife accompanied
him on the piano. His rendition of “Since
First I Met Thee” was delightful. His
voice is strong and rich. When he sang
“Israfel” he only added to the fine im-
pression his first song gained for him.
The ladies’ septette, led by Mrs. A. J. F.
Parker, sang “The Dawn” beautifully.
The seven voices blended melodiously ana
there was not the slightest evidence of
discord or break throughout its rendition.
Miss Ethel Randall played Chopin’s
Scherzo in B minor and was heartily ap-
plauded.
Mrs. Charles Fowler always sings well.
The “Valse des Llellules” and “Polly
Willis” were the songs she selected last
evening and the finished, charming man-
ner in which she brought out the various
inflections they portray was delightful.
Miss Kate Hume and Mrs. Parker were

and many of the visitors went to the ba-
room and saw the many beautiful

Chief of Police and Sheriff Will Pajr $25
Each.
Charles Carlson, who stands charged
with assault on little Nellie Douglass last
Sunday, has not been captured, in spite
of the combined efforts of the police force
and the sheriff and his deputies. This
morning Chief of Police Jones and Sheriff
Thomas each offered personally a reward
of $25 for Carlson’s arrest. The governor
has also been requested to1 offer a reward
for Carlson’s capture.
The police furnish the following descrip-
tion of him:
Charles Carlson, wanted for rape on
Nellie Douglass, aged 9, Jan. 17, 1897.
Swede, 31 years old, 5 feet. 9 inches, 175
pounds, brown hair, sandy mustache, blue
eyes, slightly pigeon toed, has an eight
pointed star or anchor on left hand be-
tween thumb and joint of first finger, ena
of third finger on left hand off. When
last seen wore brown alpine hat, heavy
blue flannel overshirt, black trousers with
indistinct blue stripe, blue sack coat, rath-
er small and burst under arms. Formerly
lived in Mobile, where he took out natu-
ralization papers in 1892.
John Smith, who is charged as accessory
in assisting Carlson to escape, was before
Recorder Johnson this morning and the
case was continued to Jan. 26.
church in Texas there is probably not one
whose appearance is more strikingly at- ’
tractive than Bishop Dunne's. Tall and
broad shouldered, with a large head, wide
forehead and a mass of brown hair,
streaked with gray, with an iron gray
beard that spreads well across his breast
and with an air of calmness and dignity
that fits well to his noble carriage, he
would attract notice in any gathering of
men. But it is at close range that he is
most impressive. His eyes are gentle and
true, his smile infectious and the broad-
ness of his forehead and the clearness
and purity of his speech at once stamp
him as a man of high ideals and intellec-
tuality. The deference and reverence
shown to him by his brother priests was
one of the best proofs of the esteem in
which he is held.
Clothed in the gorgeous vestments of
the celebrant he sang the solemn high
mass this morning surrounded and as-
sisted by nearly 20 priests. The rich col-
oring given by the purple worn by his
brother bishop, by the white and gold of
the deacons and other satellites, by the
black and white of the priests in the
sanctuary and by the flowing robes of the
altar boys—all this against a background
Such as an altar bright with the light of
myriad tapers and decorated by artistic
hands made a picture such as is never seen
outside a Catholic church.
The choir was not as good as that of
yesterday or Tuesday. The voices were
not as strong and the hymns not as melo-
diously sung. The absence of St. Mary’s
singers was marked by those who have,
regularly attended the jubilee services,
but to the newcomer the difference could
not be appreciated.
The mass began at 9 a. m. In addition
to the Rt. Rev. Bishop Dunne, celebrant,
these priests attended: Assistant priest,
Father Weimar, V. G.; deacons of honor,
Fathers Johannet and Kirwin; deacons
and sub-deacons of mass, Fathers Spin-
neweber and Guyot; master of ceremonies,
Father William Lee; assistant at the
throne, Bishop Gallagher, attended by
Fathers Martiniere of Dallas and Klein
of St. Edward’s college, Austin; present in
the sanctuary, Fathers Hennessy of Hous-
ton, B. Lee, Clancy, O’Connor, Daniel, O.
S. F., of St. Louis, Apel, McNulty of
Paterson, N. J., and Keller. The orator
was Father O’Callaghan, S. J.
The oration was listened to with deep
attention. Father O’Callaghan devoted
about an hour to describing the origin,
the growth, the trials, the purposes and
the general history of the Ursuline nuns.
He began by telling how in 1535 in the town
of Brescia, in northern Italy, a noble band
of 12 women formed the order that is now
one of the grandest communities in the
Catholic church. He narrated how, In-
spired by the self iirimolation of those 12
noble women, the hearts of the daughters
of Italy were so fired with the ardor ot
self sacrifice that within 30 years all Italy
was reached by Ursulines. In Milan alone
there were 13 convents. Then the order
spread to France, from France to the Low
Countries, next to Austro-Hungaria, and
so on. He told how in the Reign of Terror,
in the days when: France was bathed in
blood, in the days when the guillotine
claimed heads by the score, the Ursulines
did not falter in their work. He instanced
a case in which a party of 15 or 20 Ursu-
lines, offending- the revolutionists in some
way, were sentenced to decapitation. Im-
prisoned near the scene of slaughter, they
received the sacrament f/om a priest who
like themselves was awaiting death at
the hands of the axeman, then in order to
offer the least resistance to the knife and
its operator, they cut each other’s hair off,
bared their necks and, with crucifix in
hand, marched to death smiling and
happy. He told of the days of trial and
tribulation when the convents were con-
fiscated or burned or when, as happened
when Cardinal Wiseman introduced the
order into England, the nuns found the
people and the government hostile. He
told of the wanderings of the bands across
the seas to Ireland, to Canada, of the
building of great institutions that are now
the pride of the whole community, of the
establishment of the order in Boston, New-
York, Columbia, St. Louis, New Orleans
and Galveston.
In the hundreds of years of the order’s
existance, he said, the sisters had ever
had one purpose in view: the purification
of society. He declared the salvation of
society could never be attained by any
means but by self sacrifice. The sisters,
by their noble teachings, by their saintly
examples and by the grace of God were
regenerating the social fabric. He recalled
the words of Pius IX., in telling the Ursu-
lines their lives and deeds were the noblest
teachings of purity: “You have done it in
the past, you are doing- it at present, and
you will do it to the end of time.”
The Jesuit then went on to tell of the
devotion the Ursulines instilled into the
hearts of their pupils, the love the pupils
held for them will live and glow as long
as memory lasted, and closed with another
tribute to the grandest of the women who
sacrifice, every temporal benefit for the
glory cf God and the benefit of mankind.
After the mass there was quite a recep-
tion in the priest’s room, just west of the
chapel. The nuns went there to pay their
respects to Bishop Dunne. As the sisters
kneeled to kiss the ring of office, the gen-
tle prelate gave each in turn his bless-
ing.
This afternoon the orphans are having
a picnic and a feast on the convent
grounds. The reception in the parlors of
the convent to the graduates and the pub-
lic generally lasts from 2 to 6 p. m.
COUNTY BRIDGE PAINT.
Galveston, Tex., Jan. 20.—To the County
Commissioners: The reason why the pa nt-
ing does not protect the iron work of the
county bridge is because the right tech-
nical principles were not applied to the
work. Whether that be the fault of the
painters or the specifications I (shall not
attempt to say. But, anyway, the result
speaks volumes.
The proper preparation of the surface to
be painted, especially on a structure as ex-
posed as this one, is of the utmost Im-
portance. In fact, a properly prepared
surface with poor paint is ten times better
than an improperly prepared surface with
good paint. This needs no argument—it is
simply a fact. When that bridge was
painted it was “scraped,” whatever that
means. At any rate, that process always
leaves a very uneven, half corroded sur-
face. In addition, the surface was moist
when the paint was put on, as it always is
here in this climate under average condi-
tions. So, with a porous, half corroded
surface and a film of moisture under the
coat of paint, the corrosion went on be-
neath the paint. As corrosion (carboniza-
tion and oxydization) means expansion of
material (molecular expansion) the paint
was simply pushed away from the surface
of the iron work—it scaled. And then of
course the corrosion w§nt on at an in-
creased rate.
The iron work of the bridge can be pro-
tected by paint. In order to do that the
iron work must first be thoroughly
“scraped,” then as thoroughly cleaned oi’
all the fine loose material that has escaped
the scraping process, by means of emery
paper (sand blast if possible). After all
particles have been dusted off a man must
heat the surface slightly by means of a
gasoline (blow) lamp in order to evaporate
every particle of moisture from the sur-
face, and another man must immediately
thereupon apply a coat of red lead paint
before the surface has had time to cool
and gather new moisture. When that coat
of paint is dry the man with the gasoline
lamp must go over the surface again, tak-
ing care not to blister the paint, and im-
mediately thereupon the other man must
apply a heated coat of asphalt or other
similar plastic paint. In this way you
will form an impermeable coat upon the
iron, with no half corroded surface and
film of moisture to do its deadly work un-
derneath. Care should be taken that no
more surface be taken under treatment ac
a time than can be immediately followed
up by the other processes. The red lead
(peroxide of lead) forms in time a protect-
ive chemical compound with the underly-
ing surface of the iron ( a double oxide)
and that aside from the protection that
the congealing asphalt paint affords. In
this way you will succeed in giving the
iron work of the bridge a coat of paint
that will last for years unless knocked oil’
by violence.
You may consider this whole proceeding
rather complicated, but, in any event, I
think you have realized that you can not
protect the county bridge by any promis-
cuous application of what sometimes by
courtesy is called “paint.” Besides,
