Houston is moving for a fruit, flower
and vegetable festival to' be held Dec. 6 to
11 inclusive. The undertaking ought to be
heartily encouraged by the entire coast
country, which can make a display that
will gladden the eye and the appetite at
the same time. The benefit of such an
exhibition would be general and it ought
to be liberally supported throughout the
coast region.

Gen. Blanco, who is to succeed Gen.
Weyler, is credited with the purpose to
placate the rebels and to gradually per-
suade them to accept autonomy. Remem-
bering the vanity of Campos’ tender-
hearted methods, there is no reason to
hope that the lion and the lamb will lie
down together in Cuba until they can ac-

WEALTHY FARMER MURDERED.—
Davenport, la., Oct. 5.—At Dixon, in this
county, 20 miles from here, the dead body
of Robert Parke, a farmer, was found in
his burning house; Parke was living
alone and was supposed to keep a good
deal of money in the house. Last week
his watch dog was poinsoned and last
Thursday night he frightened burglars
from the house. It is believed he was
murdered and the house set on fire to con-
ceal the crime.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 5.—The grand
jury of the district has returned three in-
dictments against Francis J. Kieckhofer,
late disbursing officer of the state depart-
ment, charging him with embezzling over
$35,000 of government funds in July and
October, 1895, and with appropriating to
his own use $15,000 worth of government
bonds. Kieckhofer was arrested in May,
1896, and the amount of his embezzlement
was placed at $37,466 in the indictment.
After investigating his accounts he Was
discharged from office and it is announced
that there is an apparent shortage of
more than $100,000 in his accounts. His
trial was to have taken place last spring,
but was postponed owing to prior cases
on the docket.
Kieckhofer denies that he has been
giulty of criminal conduct and asserts
that the alleged shortage is .due to earless
bookkeeping.
CLASH BETWEEN RACES.—Logans-
port, La., Oct. 5.—Reports received just
now state that the negroes ar^ massing
themselves on. the edge of town for the
purpose of destroying the town in retalia-

from the calaboose and whipped. About
100 whites have armed themselves and are
now preparing to march on the enemy.
TOWN BURNED-—Austin, Pa., Oct. 5.—
Fire broke out yesterday afternoon in
Reed’s livery stable building. In five
hours’ time every ^uiltlgng in town but five

100 buildings were,burned, mostly resi-
dences. The loss i§ placed by insurance

SMITH-DIXON FIGHT.—San Francis-
co, Cali., Oct. 5.—Solly Smith bested
George Dixon in a 20 round go last night
at Woodward’s pavilion. Round. 20 was
as follows: In ttye 20th and last round
Smith forced the fighting and he punched
George on the body and head with his
right. In the mixes Smith had all the best
of the fighting. George Green, the referee,
had no hesitancy in awarding the decision
to Smith, The decision was received with
no sighs of dissatisfaction by the audi-
ence. Still, had the men not agreed to
have a decision whether both were on
their feet at the finish or not, a draw
would not have been ia bad decision.

STRAW BALLOTS.
BRANN CONDEMNED.—Waco, Tex.,
Oct. 5.—At an immense mass meeting last
night of business men and professional
men and citizens generally, Brann’s ut-
terances in the Iconoclast with regard to
Baylor university were denounced as false
and undeserved, and the university was
indorsed as a worthy educational institu-
tion deserving the patronage of the best
people of the land. Bankers, wholesalers,
retailers, professional men and laborers
attended the meeting.
Meeting at Waco to Locate the Next State
Assembly.
Rev. W. M; Harris, pastor of the First
Baptist church, will leave tomorrow morn-
ing for Waco to attend a. meeting of the
executive board of the State Baptist as-
sociation. The next meeting of the asso-
ciation, to be held in November, was
booked for Temple, but that city found
upon investigation that it could not ade-
quntely entertain the 700 or 1000 delegates
who are expected. It is the custom to
provide free homes for the delegates and
with such a large body the task is one
which even pretentious cities hesitate to
undertake.
The next meeting of the.State conven-
tion will be a very lively one and a big
attendance is assured. There are several
disputed questions to be settled, one of the
mbst interesting being the management
of Baylor university and the alleged
forced resignation of Dr. Burleson, and
this with mission disputes has stirred up
more or less antagonism, which is expect-
ed to find warm expression when
brethren get together.
TO RESUME SILVER COINAGE.—San
Francisco, Cali., Oct. 5.—The mint in this
city will at once resume the coinage of
silver dollars in connection with instruc-
tions from Washington. The order neces-
sitated the employment of 15 new
employes, all of whom were selected from
the eligible list under civil service rules.
Most of them; were of the number sus-
pended when the mint discontinued the
coinage of silver in July last.
But little $1 wheat is raised in the south,
but the country is full of 5 and 6 cent
cotton. What Would it profit a man if
horses were worth $500 each and lie had
no horse to' sell?—Van Alstyne News.
This -is supposed to be a very cute and
convincing argument in favor of a change
of government policy, presumably by the
free coinage of silver to raise the price
of cotton, Conceding that free silver
would raise the price of cotton and wheat,
the present increased price of wheat
shows that something else will have an
appreciating effect, and it would profit
those who are benefited thereby to study,
in the absence of free coinage, how they
may effect a like advance in cotton.
But the real thought of the argument,
the unconscious purpose that pervades
the whole theory of advancing prices by
free coinage or other schemes of govern-
ment fiatism, is revealed, in the concluding
query, “What would it profit a man if
horses were, worth $500 and he had no
horse to sell?” The object aimed at is
not only to increase prices, it seems, but
to give something to those who have noth-
ing, to legislate value into products and to
legislate property into poverty. That is
the idea. Those who have low priced
cotton or wheat or horses are to have
their value increased by federal ipse
dixit, and those who have no cotton or
wheat or horses are to have them sup-
plied by the same legerdemain. Really
one proposition is as reasonable as the
other, but it is only by a confession of
the latter absurdity that the fallacy of
the former is revealed.
But the reach of Popocracy does not
stop at an impossible theory. What the
scheme of fiatism would fail to' accom-
plish in giving to those who have not,
the underlying, though perhaps uncon-
scious, purpose of confiscation would ef-
fect. After free silver should have ig-
nominiously failed of its mission, the
spirit of anarchy would take its place
and forcible seizure would follow theo-
retical distribution. Anarchy is far from
the contemplation of the honest Popocrat,
but it lies close to the heart of many an
ignorant follower of the doctrine and
springs inevitably in 'unreasoning minds
from the false philosophy that values
can be created and fortunes equalized
by the act of government.

New York, N. Y., Oct. 5.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Boston says: “I look upon
the annexation of the Hawaiian islands
as practically accomplished,” said Sen-
ator Lodge. “The treaty will be taken up
at once when congress assembles in De-
cember and I think there is an easy ma-
jority in the senate in favor of its ratifica-
tion. If it should appear probable that an
opposition is developing sufficient to de-
feat ratification the remedy will be very
simple. There is a joint resolution of an-
nexation of the islands on the calendar,
which does not require a two-thirds ma-
jority, as is the case in the vote for
the ratification of a treaty. A simple
majority in both houses will accomplish
the same result and that majority we
have easily. If it appears probable that
ratification may fail we shall simply slip
in the resolution and act upon that in place
of the treaty.”
“What are your views as to a form of
government for the islands after annexa-
tion?”
“It is setttled that we do not care to ad-
mit Hawaii as a state in the union. Some
form of territorial government must be
adopted, but exactly what it should be is
not yet wholly clear. I am inclined to
think that we should give Hawaii a form
of government rather broader than the or-
dinary territorial government. For exam-
ple; I should give the islanders power to
continue their legislative body in two
branches, whereas, I believe a territory
has merely a single house. A legislature
in two houses will give them a govern-
ment similar to our states, but they will
not have the power to elect senators in
congress. The system of courts must, of
course, be extended to the islands, with
district and circuit judges. The local
courts may be retained as the people
themselves desire.”
“You would have the governor appointed
by the president?”
“Certainly; precisely as the governors
of territories are appointed. I should pre-
fer, if I were to express a preference,
that the governor be appointed from the
islands.
“The question of suffrage should be left
to the government of the islands to ad-
just as seems to it best, within the limits
set by the constitution of the United
States, beyond which no state or territory
can go. Before Christmas I certainly ex-
pect that Hawaii would be American ter-
ritory.”

Measures Eight Feet and Will Head
Kansas City Parade.
Kansas City Star.
He is not so tall as a house—this man in
the picture, Col. Henry Clay Thruston—
but he measures fully eight feet after his
shoes are off and he must double up when
he enters an ordinary door. He does not
walk on stilts, or is he raised from the
ground by cork soles; he simply measures
eight feet and puts a silk hat on his head
to let people know that he doesn’t care
how tall he is.
Henry Clay Thruston comes from Mount
Vernon, Tex. There he farms in a peace-
able sort of way, and there he finds good
use for the long limbs nature has given
him. The colonel will be one of the fea-
tures of the stock yards division of the
carnival parade this year. He will not
ride in a carriage—that would be uncom-
fortable; he will not ride a horse, for
there is none in Kansas City that will ac-
commodate him, but he will walk right at
the head of the stock yards division. A
boy on stilts could walk more stiffly than
than does this giant nor could anyone
imitate his movements by any possible
means. His walk is'all his own—it is a
part of his stock in trade.
Col. Henry Clay Thruston was born in
South Carolina 66 years ago. His father
and mother were both over six feet tall,
and when Henry grew to be six feet it
was taken as a matter of course. But he
did not stop at six, or seven. He grew and
he grew and he grew with the persistency
of a sunflower and probably never would
have stopped growing had not the war
come on and swept him into the fray. He
was eight feet high when he entered the
Confederate service and a wound received
in Arkansas while fighting under Gen.
Marmaduke stunted his growth before be
was half through.
In 1850 Col. Thruston was still a young
man. He was taken with the gold fever
and went to California. But he never got
into the gold fields. An enterprising sa-
loon keeper in San Francisco saw the
value of his figure as an advertising me-
dium and paid him $250 a month to stand
in his front door and let people look at
him.
Just after the rebellion which had
stripped the colonel of every cent he had
saved from his California experience a
St. Louis man took him in charge and
went with him all over the country, ex-
hibiting him as a curiosity. This lasted
three years, and in that time Col. Thrus-
ton saved quite a fortune with which he
purchased the farm where he now lives in
Mount Vernon, Tex. ■
Col. Thruston has a brother in Kansas
City. When he walks under a beam and
stands up straight it has to be six feet five
inches from the ground or he won’t get
through. W. C. Thruston is his name and
he lives at 2009 East Eighteenth street.

Apropos O'f present quarantine conflicts
and hardships the New York Herald is
interviewing state land municipal health
authorities on the proposition to substi-
tute national for state quarantine. Dr.
Fisher, Galveston health physician, has
received the following from the Herald:
“In view of the existing invasion of yel-
low fever, will you kindly favor the Her-
ald by wiring at our expense yo.ur views
on the proposition to establish a national
quarantine to' supersede the present state
quarantine and have full control of all
functions now discharged by the latter
o r gan i zati o n s ? ”
Dr. Fisher’s sentiments upon the subject
were embodied in the following reply to
the Herald:
“There is no question, but that national
quarantine, under control of the United
State marine hospital service, should su-
persede state quarantine, for the reason
that it relieves it of all that is political
and places it in the hands of men who deal
with all quarantine matters from a sci-
entific standpoint and for the good of the
country at large.”
Dr. Fisher’s answer is a succinct state-
ment of the merits of the case. Not only
does politics often enter into quarantine
matters and ignorance and prejudice
larg-ely dominate local measures, but com-
mercial jealousies between sections and
cities more frequently than otherwise ac-
centuate the restrictions imposed under
the pretense of health precautions. More-
over, .state quarantines are not uniform.
Compliance with one may fall entirely in
respect to another. An imaginery line di-
viding states or counties marks a total
change' in quarantine rules, where the
identical, health conditions exist and
where, in reason, the same regulations
ought to apply.
The need for national quarantine in
place of state quarantine has long been
recognized in marine matters and it is
none the less urgent in overland traffic.
From every point of view national, har-
monious, skilled quarantine is preferable
to fitful, unscientific and unreasoning
state quarantine. There are no geo-
graphical or political divisions of health.
Conditions are the same throughout a
given section, and state and county lines
ought to be ignored in ia general scheme
of intelligent and unprejudiced national
supervision.

cuss the final details of the foreclosure
sale of the road with Attorney General
McKenna today. It is said arrangements
have been made so the money can be paid
without taking much of it out of actual
circulation and locking it up in the treas-
ury. It will probably be settled tomor-
row that $30,000,000 or more of the pur-
chase money shall be placed in the na-
tional bank depositories- of the United
States instead of being paid into the treas-
ury and thus remain in circulation.

it for three days, when it finally surren-

PRESBYTERIAN TREASURER’S ES-
CAP®.—Chicago, Ill., Oct. 5.—According
to the story told to the Chicago Presby-
tery by President Herrick Johnson, the
defalcation of Treasurer Charnley of the
Presbyterian board of aid for colleges
and, academies,’ was known last July.
From that time until his disappearance
on the evening of Sept. 1, Charnley had
been in charge' of a private detective.
This detective ate and slept with Charn-
ley and accompanied him everywhere.
The night of Sept. 1, Charnley had
an, engagement to meet his brother
at the corner of Dake and State
streets, and he went to' the rendezvous,
accompanied by the detective. The
brother, however, did not appear. Charn-
ley being near sighted, asked the detect-
ive to keep a close watch of all passing
cars so as noUto miss his brother. As the
detective was scanning closely a particu-
larly heavily loaded car Charnley tiptoed
away. It is thought that a carriage was
in waiting at a convenient distance and
that Charnley entered the vehicle and was
driven away. The Presbytery passed
resolutions exonerating the board of aid
from, blame.
