of The Tribune on the last day of May was 1301.
Since that date it has been incrsased over 1900,
the daily issue now being over 3200, and it is in-
creasing steadily. To distribute The Tribune in
Galveston requires nine carriers, there being three
foot and six horse routes. A map of the various
routes is now being prepared, so that the carrier
districts may be increased in number and decreased
in size. This will result in getting the papers
to subscrioers earlier.
University Club Entertainment.
The University club is rehearsing
“The Iron Chest,” which will be per-
formed at the Tremont opera-house
next Friday night for the benefit of
St. Mary’s infirmary, Houston.
The cast presenting the play is said
to be a strong one, and a large number
of tickets have been sold for the event.
Captain Eulton to Move.
C Ex-Mayor R. L. Fulton has decided
to leave Galve-ton and will, in a short
’time, remove with his family to Hous-
ton, where he intends in future to re-
side permanently.
of The Tribune is excellent, and is being bettered
as fast as possible. Everything of moment which
happens during the day up to the time of going to
press is reported faithfully and with a strict re-
gard to facts. It is the aim of the management of
this paper to report all news events faithfully
and from an unbiased standpoint, allowing no edi-
torial comment except in the editorial columns.
The editorials of The Tribune are largely local in
their application and are of no uncertain tone.
Tony Was Unruly.
While under the influence of bad
whisky Tony Bonay, a Spanish sailor
on the New York ship Nueces, turned
the usually peaceful and solemn Sun-
day into chaos.
Tony was parading the main thor-
oughfare yelling and shrieking in his
native tongue. Seargents Lynch and
Delaya eventually appeared on the
scene and ordered the sailor to go
aboard his ship. This he positively
refused to do, but sat down on the side-
walk and began a tirade against the
officers.
The officers attempted to stand him
on his feet, but by way of refusal he
pulled from his hip pocket a long ugly
looking dirk. That was enough for
the officers of the law and they allowec
him to sit on the sidewalk until the
“hurry up wagon” arrived.
After much jerking, tusseling and an
attempt by the sailor to break away,
the peace officers landed the peace dis-
turber in his cell, where a Tribune re-
porter found him this morning in earn-
est prayer foi’ clemency.

Can’t, do business successfully and be late on the
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
Coming 1OO Strong to Inspect Gal-
veston’s Advantages.
At the Chamber of Commerce meet-

resntative manufacturers and bankers

tion of the citizens of Waco to visit
their city and cotton palace, leaving
hero by special train on Wednesday.
November 21. An invitation to visit
your city to examine your system of
deep waterway, we think, would be ac-
cepted by the entire delegation. Would
it please the citizens of Galveston to
entertain the gentlemen comprising

’ JONES’ ADVENTURES.
Ko Bolates His. Experience at Extermlna-
ting Tigers.
‘Tve just been reading,” said Jack-
son Peters,” of an unfortunate family
in Tennessee. Two escaped circus
tigers have got into the cellar of their
house,, and are roaring and fighting .
and bumping their heads np against
the floor. None of the family dare go
down cellar, and they, are wondering
what they are going to do about it.”
“Still,” remarked Jones, ‘‘the tiger is
a comparatively tractable animal. As
is so often the case, it is the mild
power which triumphs, and a tiger be-
comes a mere plaything when you know
how to go at him. You remember my
telling you of when I lived in Aus-
tralia and got the government reward
of ten thousand pounds for the best
rabbit-destroyer by simply painting a
black spot on the end of a number of
logs and allowing the intelligent ani-
mals to dash their brains out in trying
to rush into the apparently hollow tree
trunks.”
“But the difference, Jones, between
the cotton-tail rabbit and the man-
eating tiger is fairly perceptible to the
eye of the trained observer,” returned
Jackson Peters.
“To the man who is at home with
animals, neither amounts to any more
than one of these cotton-flannel dogs
with shoe-button eyes which you see in
toy-stores, I met your man-eating tiger
when I lived in India, and found him
an amiable beast. His purr is loud and
disagreeable, and he is too big to make
1 successful mouser, but otherwise I
liked him.
“While in India I lived in the Buga-
boohoo country, which was badly in-
fested by tigers, all of them, seemingly,
with the man-eating habit. My bunga-
low was not far from the Muddi river,
which was bordered by dense and in
many places impassable jungles. I was
conducting a coffee plantation, and the
tigers had a habit of carrying off my
workmen to such an extent that it was
like having a strike on my hands all
the while. = I endured it for some time,
and then decided to calmly yet firmly
rid the district of tigers.
“I had made a close study of the tiger
and knew his habits thoroughly. As
you may remember, a tiger comes out
of his lair at about sundown and pre-
pares to make a night of it, much as
the domestic cat too often does. The
first thing he does is to tune up his
voice by a series of raspings on his vo-
cal chords. Then he scratches off a few
square yards of bark from a convenient
tree, lashes his sides with his tail, and
goes down to the river and takes a
drink, after which the real sport ,of the
night opens, and he begins to look for
likely men. For several evenings I
watched a dozen large and ferocious
man-eaters come down to the river for
their preliminary drink. Though in no
way banded together, they all came at
about the same time and drank at the
same spot. I knew that each of them
had killed a score of my workmen, be-
sides many other people, and I deter-
mined that I would take them into
camp and hang their rugs on my fence.
“For several days I hit on no satis-
factory plan for accomplishing this,
but one afternoon while sitting on my
veranda watching the family cat and
her kittens disporting themselves amid
a bed of catnip which grew in my gar-
den, the seed for which I had taken
from this country, the whole thing
flashed upon me. Cutting an armful of
the plant, and taking a ball of twine, I
proceeded immediately to the drinking
place of The tigers, and concealed my-
self in the tall grass,
“I had not been there above ten
minutes when a large and apparently
bld tiger came 'down the path. He
paused in front of me and began lap-
ping up the water with his tongue,
while his tail stretched on the ground
behind him. I reached out, and with a
bit of string securely tied a good-sized
bunch of the catnip to the end of his
tail. He finished drinking and turned,
licking his chops and glaring about for
members of the Coffee-hoers federated
union. As he did so he caught sight
of the bouquet on the end of his tail.
He drew it around and sniffed at it.
Then he took a nip of it, and an ex-
pression which was almost a smile
spread over his face. He sat down,
took the whole bunch in his mouth,
and began chewing it, all the time
roaring harsh but pleased purrs out of
the corners of his mouth..
“Gentlemen. I will not weary you,
but in a half hour I had fourteen royal
Bengal man-eating tigers sitting about,
with the ends of their tails in their
mouths chewing catnip and purring* at
the top of their voices. It was a new
experience for the beasts, the plant not
being indigenous to India, and for the
time being it brought on a state of ec-
stasy which completely deprived them
of their self-control. I picked up a
short stick and drove them before me
to my bungalow as if they had been
sheep, each animal keeping his tail in
his mouth. I guided them into an en-
closure back of my house, where, you
may be sure, my men took great pleas-
ure in despatching them. The four-
teen rugs I sent to friends in this
country.”
“Why did you leave India?” asked.
Robinson.
“A year later the Coffee-hoers’ feder-
ated union set up the cry that killing
the tigers had allowed the ranks of the
workingmen to increase to such an ex-
tent that it' was impossible longer to
. make a living, so they boycotted me.
They called me a plutocrat who was
sucking the life-blood of the country,
and I had to leave in the night.”—Har-
per’s Weekly. ___________

PERSONAL POINTS.
It is reported that Huntington is try-
ing to locate mineral lands in Oregon
under Southern Pacific land grants.
If he would hurry up his line into Gal-
veston so as to be here by the time the
new channel scours out to twenty feel
he would not need mineral lands.
For some time after its discovery by
the Europeans tobacco was called
petum, the name given it by the In-
dians of the West Indies, Central and
South America. The name tobacco
comes from that of the pipe used by
the West India islanders. It was

They had but recently been married,
and the young husband was airing his
wit before his bride. An old deaf man,
unknown to the bride, was just passing.
“I say,” said the husband, addressing

SEARCH OUT THE FRAUDS.
Tho Tribune is informed that the
proper officers of the law are looking
into frauds practiced in the late elec-
tions and will endeavor to fix and lead
some of the festive voters to an account
with the state under the criminal code.
The general evidences of fraud arc
so abundant that it ought not to be dif-

the election machinery, and if that
same machinery does not lend itseli
freely to running down the rank frauds
something more than carelessness will
