success of the poultry show,, and if the
work on the jetties keeps on at the
present rate the visiting roosters will
have something more than their own
comfort to crow about.

With congress in a fair way tore-
form the currency, the new state ad-
ministration pledged to economy and
the local charter amendments now
under good promise of .enactment,
there is really so little to grumble
about, outside the cotton differential,
that The Tribune feels like inviting
everybody up to take something.

THE WORK GOES BRAVELY ON.
To-day’s dispatches to The Tribune
relate the capture of three men charged
with the Terral train robbery, which
occurred a few days ago. Following
so closely upon the Benbrook robbery,
the capture of both gangs has been pe-
culiarly fortunate, provided, of course,
that the right men are held' and that
conviction can be prompt.
There’s mettle in these officers which
promises well for the safely of express
and passenger traffic. The fact is that
the constabulary of the country is so
well organized and information from
one officer to another is so quick-
ly transmitted that it takes a
peculiarly foxy criminal nowadays
to escape. A great factor in the
w#rk of hounding down outlaws
is the daily press which spreads the
information, with descriptions of sus-
pects, to the general public, who be-
come a part of a voluntary posse comi-
tatus for recognizing and intercepting
the fugitives. Supplement these fac-
tors with lynx-eyed reporters at every
railroad station, and the net work oi
detection is well nigh complete.
As a rule the machinery of dis-
covery and capture is pretty neaily
complete. If the courts, now, can only
be trained up to a like degree of
promptness and efficiency, the reign cf
the bandit will be speedily terminated.

The joint committee on charter
amendments is making excellent prog-
ress and yet proceeding with due de-
liberation. The amendments outlined
will relieve the city of financial em-
barrassment and remove several of the
most annoying features of local pol-
itics. ____

one of the victims of the late avalanche,
attributes the democratic kerflummix
to a parsimonious pension policy. As
Mr. Cummings is a Tammany brave he

They say opportunity comes but once
in a lifetime. It is now. For we are
offering you good substantial invest-
ments in Alta Loma town lots at your
own price, and these lots will be worth
more than double their money in one
year’s time. Go and attend the free

had at our office. Call early.
THE COUNTY JUDGE CONTEST.
The filing of papers in the district
court to-day relative to the office of
county judve is a welcome step toward
the solution of the annoying, not to say
disgraceful, wrangle that has been
witnessed in the commissioners’ court
since the election. Judge Han-
scom’s attorneys express a corn-
mendible willingness to proceed with
the least possible delay, and as Judge
Lockhart’s interest lies in speedy ad-
judication, there is reasonable prospect
that the public business will soon be
permitted to move along in an orderly
manner.
The issue is joined in the civil dis-
trict court whence a verdict in accord-
ance with the law and the facts may be
expected. Judge Stewart has set the
hearing for January 10 and until that
time the commissioners’ court will do
well to come to a treaty understanding,
pending the final decision, so that
routine business may not suffer further
interruption.
The case is made out and any further
discussion of its merits will be useless
and improper. Let us leave argument
to the lawyers and decision to Judge
Stewart.

Very few people know anything about
the merits of butterine. They refuse
the proper light on the subject simply
because they are prejudiced. Swift’s
Butterine is really better and much

cooking purposes it is exceptionally
fine, perfectly pure and wholesome.

Charter Amendments.
The charter amendments committee
had a profitable meeting last night.
The water commissioners made a
suggestion that provision be made for
$190,000 of bonds for the completion of
La new water-works and were re-
quested to formulate the suggestion.
The committee on police submitted
a plan for the appointment by the gov-
ernor of a police and fire commission of
three members who shall appoint fire
and police chiefs, with assistants and
approve all sub-appointments, all to
hold office for good behavior. The
committee was directed to put the plan
in proper form for final disposition.
A resolution was adopted for $200,-
030 of 5 per cent bonds for funding the
floating debt. Judge Mann will pre-
pare the amendment.
A i amendment providing for paving
tax installments through a term ot
years and for a street improvement tax
was referred to the proper committee.
A sub-commirtee was appoii t d io
prepare an amendment providing for
the deposit of city funds at the bank
o feriug the highest rate of interest for
tae same.
The proposed amendments will be
drawn at once and published, as re-
quired by law, and the committee will
meet again next Thursday night.

A Dying Man Picked Up by a Banta
Fe Train.
Special to The Tribune.
Brenham, Tex., Dec. 14.—Last night
a north-bound freight on the Santa Fe
picked up a dying man, lying beside
the track at tile Millheim tank. lie
was brought to Bellville, where he soon
expired.
He proved to be Louis Goebel, a ma-
chinist, whose home was Brenham.
He left here Tuesday to attend court
in LaGrange in a criminal case set for
yesterday, in which he was an attached
witness.
There is a mystery connected with
his death.
THE LUNCHEON TABLE.
Dainty Ways in Which It May Be Dressed
with Fruits and Other Materials.
The dressing of the luncheon table
is a matter for the serious considera-
tion of the woman who entertains a
few guests every day in the week, and
whose luncheon tal^je is quoted for its
prettiness and good taste, as well as
its hospitality. There are a dozen dif-
ferent ways to dress a table inexpen-
sively yet daintily; and upon each of
these dozen ways many changes can
be played, so that there may always be
something a little new.
A young woman of great taste who
lives in a large house facing the park,
and who sets daily a luncheon table
for such of her friends as favor her
with a morning call, chooses now the
colors of the California grape for her
table. This, according to her idea, is
a wine color shading to green.
Over the top of the table is thrown a
thin lace spread, the work by the way
of her own crochet hook, and through
the meshes of the lace one gets
glimpses of the green China silk spread
beneath. At. each of the four corners
of the table are bunches of red-green
grapes catching the lace in festoons.
In the middle of the table is an enor-
mous dish of grapes; and at each plate
there is pretty sure to be a box con-
taining a tiny favor, while a bunch of
real grapes is fastened on top of the
box. The whole setting of the table is
inexpensive, and the covers, both the
lace and the silk, are washable.
It is just the season between fry its,
yet by the irony of things fashionable,
there must be fruit luncheons. Winter
apples may be arranged so as to
decorate a table prettily. The
cloth is first important. It may
be of the pale green damask, or
of white, with apples outlined in
bunches upon it. The designer should
be careful to put only an apple or two
on each stem, and to let the leaves be
real apple leaves in shape. It is com-
paratively easy next to obtain jellj'
moulds in the shape of huge apples.
And then it is simple to make green
and red apples and even apples of dif-
ferent shades of red in jelly, blanc-
mange, etc. The ices carry out the
same idea. For a fruit-dish there may
be the little love apples of holiday
fame, and picturesque pound sweets.
A very beautiful center-piece and one
highly appreciated by young people is
a long tray-like dish in which the great
apple-branches, with the apples hang-
ing to them. Over the edges of the
dish droop the stems of the fruit, and
the privilege of picking affords as great
pleasure as the flavor.—N. Y. Sun.
Overcoming Temptation.
The baby was doubled up with the
cramps, and yelling at the rate of a
mile a minute. The father and mother
stood over the crib with the laudanum
bottle between them.
“You pour it out, Robert; your hand
is steadier.”
“No, Lucy,” he said, gently but firm-
ly, “you pour it out; that child is grow-
ing so much like your mother that I
can’t trust myself.”—Texas Siftings.

The Patlietic Story of a Brave Brake-
man’s Dentil.
Brenham, Tex., Dec. 13.—“Isn’t it
strange what queer fancies and affec-
tions men have when they are in hear-
ing distance of the breakers beating
on the reef, where their tiny cockle-
shell must founder?” said a newspaper
man as he listened to the dying words
of poor Jim Reece last night. He
said that JimReece said: “Telegraph
her that I have lost one of my pins and
I want her to come at once.”
Come at once! He. did not realize
that before she, the unknown loved
one, could receive this last message he,
the sender, Jim Reece, would be num-
bered with the vast cavaran that
moves to that bourn whence no trav-
eler returns.
Poor Jim Reece! He was a railroad
man, loved by his associates—a fire-
man, who would ere long have been an
engineei* on his route. Not even the
“Wild Irishman” would surpass him,
but he fell, poor fellow!
He was braking in the place of a
friend on extra 93, Houston and Texas
Central. He was careless; he stood
with one foot on the rail and the other
inside the track. He had been warned
about this before, but he had not heed-
ed the warning. Last night, as he at-
tempted to make the coupling in his
usual dangerous position, the outside
brake connection struck his heel, he
fell and the cruel, grinding wheels
were on him before he could regain his
feet.
They crushed his left leg and then
his right clear up into his hip. The
red blood gushed out; he cried for help;
the train stopped and poor Jim Reece
was taken out a broken, mangled mass
of humanity. The doctor said: . “No
hope—he can not live until morning.”
And yet, poor fellow, he wanted to
telegraph to “her” to come to him—
not his mother, or sister, daughter,
wife, or even sweetheart, but “her.”
Poor fellows He is dead. He died at
11.10 last night—and she did not come.
A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Can’t do business successfully and be late on th
market quotations. There is no value in a market
report if it is three or four days old. The Gal-
veston Tribune publishes each afternoon a full and
complete report of the cotton markets of the world.
This report goes all over Texas on the night trains
and reaches far-away points in time for cotton men
to operate in the markets next day. It is of vastly
more value than the postal cards and circulars sent
out by factors, because it is complete, giving the
official record of the markets as received in the
Galveston Cotton Exchange. This feature of The
Tribune will be made permanent, it being the inten-
tion of The Galveston Publishing Company to develop
The Galveston Tribune into what will be the only
is

Paris Miniature Theater Where the Play-
ers Are Shadows.
There is a little theafer in Paris
which is devoted entirely to magic-
lantern and shadowgrabh perform-
ances. It stands in the rear room of a
cafe, which started Out many years
ago as an unpretentious resort, but
which has of late years become the
gathering pla.ee for the jojliest and
cleverest artists and the brightest
newspaper men of the gay city. These
fellows added sue i a charm to the
place that the cafe is now well known
almost all over the world. iSome ten 1; Th
years ago one of the artists or literary
men thought it would be amusing to
get up a Punch and Judy show and,
by means of it, to make fun of men
prominent in politics at the time. The
Punch and Judy arrangement was a
great success, but one night another
brilliant individual proposed a new
idea. A napkin was stretched
across the little theater stage, a
lamp was placed behind, cardboard fig-
ures of Paris policemen were manufac-
tured, and, while one man sang the
popular song, another made the comic
police officers march across the stage
by throwing the shadow of the card-
board figures on the napkin.
The artists especially took a live in-
terest in the little theater, and each
one tried to invent strange and won-
derful scenic effects. The journalists
wrote little plays, which were acted by
the cardboard actors while the author
spoke the lines. After a year or so the
theater was enlarged and the best of
magic lanterns were secured, and all
Paris crowded to see the performances.
The stage settings became very elab-
orate,. being made of stained glass and
colored paper, and the figures were con-
structed so as to move their arms and
hands. Everybody connected with the
queer theater tried to invent some new
kind of effect to puzzle and amuse the
spectators.
As the enterprise grew the scenery
was built out of tin or zinc, so as to be
solid and durable.
The cardboard actors finally came to
be regular mechanical toys. Their
arms and legs could be moved by means
of strings and these antics often puz-
zled the spectators, who were not in
the secret of the managers’ methods.
It was most amusing from the front to
see a paper man walking across the
stage smoking a cigar. This was ac-
complished by means of a rubber tube,
which ran up the Lack of the little
figure to the cigar and one of the mer.
behind the scenes smoked a pipe ana
blew the smol^? in the tube.
All these mechanical effects are
clever and, at the same time, they are
very simple. The effect is always in-
teresting and even puzzling to those
who are not in the secret and who sud-
denly see shadows walking before
them, moving their toy arms or strug-
gling against a strong windstorm-—

cost.—Ram's Horn.
—This review of the travail of hu-
manity, which is the travail of Christ's
soul, ought surely to add to the so-
lemnity and significance of life. —
Eerry.
—New York’s public schools now
teach nearly three hundred and thirty-
seven thousand children, and there is.
still a demand for new buildings to
hold many more thousand.
—There are now 1G,O23 chapters of
the Epworth League in the Methodist
Episcopal church, an increase of 418 in
the month ending September 20. Of
the total number of chapters 2,800 arc
of junior leagues.
—On a single- Saturday the-football
accidents in England included the as-
sistant master of one school killed, and
the head master of another laid oup
with a compound fracture of a leg, and
five other persons seriously injured.
—Sardou’s father has just died at
Cannes at the age of ninety-three. He
began life as commercial traveler, but
took up school teaching, and wrote
some educational text-books. He did
his best to keep his son from writing,
as he wished him to become a doctor.
H-TIenceforth the Turkish language
must*be taught in all schools in Tur-
key. An iradah of the government to
that effect was communicated recently
to the Greek and Armenian patriarchs
and to the Jewish chief rabbi. The
Jews are preparing to obey at once. In
the Arabian provinces their instruction
has in the past been large in Arabic.
—The American board reports re-
ceipts for September as follows: Regu-
lar donations, $10,685 (including $788
for the debt); special donations, $1,835;
legacies, $11,772, making a total of
$24,302. Last September the receipts

—Is the schoolmaster absent from
Portland, state of Maine? If not he
ought to give a few points to the
board of education im that town on
modern English. The public notices
relative to the opening of the evening
schools specify the “Gents’ Entrances”
to the school buildings. “Gents!” And
in -‘cultured” New England! Still,
that is where they make “Plymouth"
Rock pants.”
—The vicar of Pontefract recently
: preached at a cyclist church parade
taking for his text “The spirit of the
living creature is in the wheel.” In ah
east Yorkshire church a new stove was
put in, and on the following Sunday
the text given was “Aha! I am warm;
I have seen the- fire,” and when the
squire gave scarlet cloaks to a dozen
old women, the clergyman selected as
his text “Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these”’
