The Usual Tiling.
“What shall I say about the con-
cert?”- said the new reporter to his
chief.
"Was there any especial feature?”
“No, sir; it was a regular thing.”
“Then say the performance was one
of unusual merit, and let it go at that.”
—Truth.
An Irresistible Inducement.
Customer—What is the price of this
goods?
Clerk—That is four dollars and nine-
ty-nine cents a yard, madam.
Customer—Ch, that is much too dear.
Clerk—But it is reduced from five
dollars.
Customer—Is that so? I'll take ten
yards.—Judge.
Last Obstacle Removed.
Husband—I think it very probable
that the divided skirt will be generally
adopted now.
Wife—Why do you think so?
Husband—The paper says that a

a way to make it cost as much as the
other kind.—Boston Globe.

This concluded the interview and the
11 ep irter retired, leaving the governor
ai d Captain McDonald together talk-
ing over the probable democratic ma-
jority at the coming election.
■ German-American Verein.
The German-American Citizens’ Po-
litical verein held their regular meet-
ing at Turner hall yesterday evening.
The chief object was to indorse a coun-
ty ticket. Several members opposed
indorsement, so it was suggested to
leave it to a vote, and the majority
willed to indorse a ticket. Every can-
didate’s name was placed before the
club, with the exception of the precinct
candidates. The club decided that
those members residing in the several
precincts should each get together and
each recommend a commissioner, and
the club would sanction their recom-
mendations. The following candidates
were indorsed:
W. B. Lockhart for county judge,
Alfred Dirks for sheriff, Fred McC.
Nichols for assessor, Tony Wortham
for collector, Alex Easton for district
clerk, R. H. Tiernan for county attor-
ney, S. Rinker for treasurer and C. A.
Sias for surveyor. For county com-
missioners: E. H. Fordtran, First pre-
cinct; Wm. Vowinckle, Second pre-
cinct; Geo. A. Reyder, Trird precinct.
As between Captain Fulton and F. A.
Brock, candidates for county clerk, the
vote was a tie and both were recom-
mended.
Mulcahy’s Candidacy.
It has been reported that Mr. M. J.
| Mulcahy will be an independent candi-
date for the legislature against Mr.
James Spillane. Mr. Mulcahy was
seen by a Tribune man and asked re-
garding the correctness of the report.
He said:
“The matter has not been fully de-
cided and will not be until Wednesday
night. My friends are looking over
the ground and will meet Wednesday
evening to decide whether or not I am
to be a candidate.
“Regarding the charter amendments
I am in favor of submitting the ques-
tion to the people at a special election
both on ward elections of aidermen and
the election of city officials by the peo-
ple. If the citizens want elections at
large I will act according to their in-
structions and I think they should have
a voice in the matter.
“Personally I am in favor of ward
elections cf aidermen, but I am not so
strong in the belief that it would ham-
per me in following the instructions of
my county.”
Steam Pump Explosion.
Chicago, HL, Oct. 8.—Two men were
killed to-day in the Illinois steel works
by the explosion of a steam pump.
Dead: Wm. Miller, married; A. B.
PROGRESS OF FORECASTING.
It is but a few years ago that the
weather prognostications of the depart
ment at Washington served little pur-
pose but to give text for newspaper
jokes. Few read the weather prog
nostications; fewer believed them.
The department was useful only foi
the information it furnished as to tem-
perature and rainfall, which enabled
the public to judge of effects upon
growing crops.
Now there is not a man of reading
and observation who does not respec
the forecasts of the weather depart-
ment and of the local stations. While
it cannot be foretold with absolute
accuracy what changes of weather will
occur, it can be announced in a gener. 1
way what are the reasonable indict -
tions.' It can be positively static
what is the direction of the wine,
the reading of the barometer arc
the probabilities are intelligently de-
ducible. As to violent storms the i
weather department is of great use tc
mariners as well as to the country.
Cyclones and hurricanes can be dis
covered at remote distance, even though
they may not be forecast with entire
accuracy, and warnings travel fasti r
by wire than the storm demon can ridi
on the wind. The late disastrous hur-
ricane on the gulf was distinctly an-
nounced by the bureau and many ships
that encountered it might have escaped.
Indeed many did escape by not putting
to sea till it had passed
So great has been the progress of
weather forecasting within the last
decade that it is not unreasonable to
hope a few years more will make it
almost as exact a science as astron-
omy itself, and the coming of winds
will be as certainly known as the ar-
rival of comets and the transit of the
stars.
The development of the book ex-
amining sensation in the city council
obscured other matters for the time
being, but there is now no excuse why
the milk and meat inspection ordinance
should not be reported. It is in the
hands of the ordinance committee, upon
whom the responsibility of delay will
rest.
Tribune dispatches to-day tell of a
race riot in Kentucky, precipitated by
the attempt of negroes to force them-
selves into the white apartments of an
excursion train. The account is im-
perfectly rendered, but it is sufficient
to give the English committee and the
northern press a text for jeremiads on
southern outrages. It will make no
difference that the negroes were violat-
ing the law and the whites were resist- |
ing an offense under the statutes, with
a United States deputy marshal trying, '
as was his duty, to prevent trouble. '
;ourned session this afternoon. The I A I |L‘T lAD AnAu/l r\/
important matters to come up are the A Lil I rUh LKUVVLrY
investigation of the books and the re- *
port of the committee on claims and
accounts, regarding extra pay for
policemen during the recent Santa Fe
troubles with their employes. The
meat and milk inspection ordinance
will also probably come up for a sec-
ond reading. The regular routine
ousiness was disposed of at the meet-
ing last Monday.

ure to her, and she makes it a pleasure 1 "" - -
to her hostess. She does not discuss
the effort that it is to make calls, «or
the hired girl’s lapses from ideal stand-
ards of cooking and conduct, or her
husband’s dyspepsia, with its usual
and distressing symptoms, or the trials
of spring house-cieaning. Not that
she avoids commonplace subjects, she
knows that they are universally inter-
esting, but she tries to seize upon the
original and entertaining side of them,
and when the commonplace details of
a commonplace subject are interesting
to no one but herself she has the sense
to realize it, and not to tire any one
with them. She deserves and wins ad-
miration and friends because she is
cheerful and interesting. Of course, I
not every woman can be cheerful and
interesting, but women fail in those
qualities far more often from lack of
effort than from lack of natural gifts.
One would not think of giving a
I present and saying: “It was a good
deal of trouble to go down town to get
this,” or “I had to economize a long
time before I could buy this,” or “I
meant to have given you this little
present a long time ago, but I could
not find time to attend to it,” however
true these things might be. There is
no excuse for making equally ungra-
cious speeches about paying calls. Any
social courtesy should be given in the
same spirit in which one makes a gift.
If it has cost us something, it is more
generous and dignified to say nothing
about it.
Think it orer, sister women, and do
not consider a round of visits to your
woman friends a tedious, burdensome
undertaking, but make the visits with
a determination to find and give pleas-
ure.
Effort and common sense and kind-
ness of heart are necessary for the ex-
ercise of tact. There is not much ex-
cuse for a lack of it, and it is its own
reward, for it wins and holds friends
and makes sunshine in the heart from |
which it springs, and in the hearls
which feel its gentle, almost impercept-
ible touch. Education in polite rules
is good, but tact is an infallible guide,
for it is equal to emergencies where es-
tablished rules fail. The tactful per-
son does not err in the mere forms of
politeness because he is guided by the
true fine spirit of it.—Alice L. Clark, in
N. Y. Ledger.

Monday is usually a busy day in the
recorder’s court, but this morning
most of the offenders were charged
with dipping too often into the flowing
bowl and becoming disorderly.
Tom Miller said he guessed he had
been drunk and down and was willing*
to pay $5 for it.
George Schroeder said that he had
been arrested for nothing and could
prove that he was not drunk and dis-
orderly. He was given until to-morrow
morning to secure his proof.
August Schultz, Andrew Flood, Aug-
ust Meyer, William McCann and Mag-
gie Stevens were assessed $5 each for
drunk and disorderly.
Jack O Connor seemed anxious to
plead guilty to being an idle and dis-
orderly person. Officer Whittlesey
testified he found O’Connor in an alley
on Twenty-seventh street yesterday
morning carrying several lamps in his
arms. When questioned as to where
he got them he said he had a part-
ner who wanted them sold and he
had undertaken the job. He
came to the city Saturday afternoon
and at once formed a partnership.
He was fined $5. Just as O’Connor was
being taken back to the “bull pen”
Officer Jordan came in with a saddle
which he said had been pawned by
O Connor Saturday nig’ht. It proved
to be the property of an employe of
the Brush Electric Light company and
had been taken from his horse while
standing on Twenty-second and Market
streets Saturday evening.
William Smith and William Stew-
art were charged with cursing and
abusing.. Stewart was fined $5 and
Smith discharged.
H. Everett, a sailor on a foreign ves-
sel, .was charged with cursing and
abusing. . When his case was called
the captain of the vessel stated that
Everett had been convicted on the
same charge by the naval court,
but the British minister had
made an error in turning the
prisoner over to the chief of police in-
stead of the United States marshal or
county sheriff. He said Everett had
been sentenced to 30 days hard labor
and.compelled to sign out of the ship’s.

of The Tribune on the last day of May was 1301.
Since that date it has been increased 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

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.

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
published in the United States.
The Tribune’s mail is made up in our
under special permission from the postal authori-
ties, and is pouched and routed ready for the
early night mails, so that it leaves this city on
the 7.30 and 9.05 trains, making connection at
Houston.with all the mail trains to every point in
Texas. The Galveston Publishing Company is daily
in receipt of letters from cotton men throughout
Texas commending the market report ard stating
that it is clear, comprehensive, unbiased and’eor-
rect features which are necessary in a report
which is intended to be of value.
patronage of The Tribune has steadily increased
under the present management. Merchants are find-
ing that it pays to talk to the consumers through
the columns of The Tribune, and certainly the new
dress of type which was put on September 1 makes a
very handsome appearance. Advertising‘rates fur-
nished upon application.

Graciousness and Tact in the Exchange of

No social pleasure is enjoyed so sadly
I by the average woman as that of pay-
ing calls. And the worst of it is, she
is at no pains to dissemble her sadness.
Nine times out of ten she tells the
friends on whom she is calling that she
has been meaning to come and see her Ui
this long time, but it is so hard to get beating of drums when the
started. And then she goes on U
that it is such an effort to pay calls,
palled when she thinks of the calls she
owes, and she never likes to make very
"formal” calls, and so she does not ac-
complished anything to speak of in an
afternoon; some ladies whom she
knows (and evidently envies) can make
twenty visits in one day, but she can
not. Then she says, as she takes her
leave:
“Now, please, do not be so long
about coming to see me. I did not
mean to be so slow, but I waited for
my cousin to come with me. It seems
so much easier to pay calls with some
one. I love to see my friends at my
home, but 1 must confess that I make
hard work of going visiting myself. Do

“Do you. regard the action of the
state convention in adopting the Chi-
cago money plank as a stand against
free silver?”
“No, sir,” answered Governor Hogg.
The reporter then called the gov-
ernor’s attention to the fact that at the
Dallas convention the platform commit-
tee split on the money question, and
two reports were submitted, the major-
ity report having the Chicago plank,
and the minoriny report advocating
the coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
I to 1. The governor listened to the
Tribune man and wondered, probably,
what was coming next,
“Don’t you remember, governor, that
the chairman, in putting the substitute,
stated emphatically that its adoption
meant free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1 and the adoption of the
majority report declared against free
silver?”
Governor Hogg replied that he did
not know what those fellows in the
convention said at that particular
time; he was not listening to them.
“What do you think of Mr. Culber-
son’s policy in advocating free silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1?”
