were suggested, out of which the own-
ers finally adopted that of “Termania.”

What Antone Found in the Coal.
It was a queer find, that of Antone
Hagenlocker, and none can blame him
for being surprised. Antone is an en-
gineer in the employ of the Ansonia
Brass and Copper company, and as he
placed an extra large lump of soft coal
under the boiler he had no thoughts of
what that lump of coal" contained. A
few minutes later he opened the furnace
door again, and what was his surprise to
see in the furnace a handsome plant re-
sembling a species of cactus! It was
bright red from the heat, every vein in
the leaves being defined. He carefully
removed it from the furnace without
breaking, and when it cooled it turned
to a dull gray color.
It rests on a base of coal and then
stands out a well defined petrified plant,
but not carbonized, so that it burned as
readily as did the coal surrounding it.
He has shown the formation to many,
and nothing like it has ever been seen
here. The stalk of the plant where cut
from the parent stem is well defined.
Mr. Hagenlocker is to have it mounted
and placed under a glass case.—Water-

Typographical Errors.
American authors, no less than Eng-
lish, sometimes suffer for the sins of
the printer, A line of Mr. Aldrich’s,,
which originally read, “A potent medi-
cine for gods and men,” was misprinted
“A patent medicine,” etc. And Mr.1
Aldrich’s equanimity was upset on an-;
other occasion because in a serious mood'
he wrote in one of his poems, “Now the!
old wounds break out afresh,” and was)
horrified to read that lie had said “Now:
the old woman breaks out afresh.”

Burned His Barn to Kill a Snake.
Some time ago, when Choulet’s men-
agerie passed through Crawford county,
a boa constrictor of medium size escaped
from its cage. As time passed the inci-
dent was forgotten. Early on Wednes-
day J. D. Doolittle entered his barn and
saw the monster in the hayloft. Doolit-
tle had lost several shoats, of which he
could find no clew. Their disappearance
was explained by the presence of the
snake. Seeing the reptile Mr. Doolittle
retreated, and after releasing his horses
from the barn he applied a match and
burned the structure and contents to the
ground. The mow was full of new hay.
After the fire had spent its force the
ribs of the reptile were found in the
ashes, and they were nearly as large as
the ribs of a 100-pound hog. Mr. Doo-
little says that he feels worse from the
effect which the snake’s vicious eyes had
upon him than he does over the loss of
his barn and contents. The contents of
the barn were the principal loss, as the
structure was an old one and was soon
to be replaced.—Milwaukee Wisconsin.

A Schooner Tossed by a Whale.
The schooner Lulu lies on the ways at
Captain Hunt’s wharf, at the foot of F
street, in quite a dilapidated condition,
her bottom scraped as though she had
been drawn across the bight, and about
a quarter of her rudder missing. It all
happened in this way:
The evening of July 10 Captain Ed
Burke was at the wheel, sailing north-
ward under a stiff breeze. The vessel is
of five tons burden and was loaded with
4)^ tons of fish. He was just off Point
Canovas, 250 miles south, and was home-
ward bound. All at once the little craft
reared up out of the water, the stem
went down into the sea, and a crashing
told that something unusual had hap-
pened.
John Fitzhughes was sitting forward
near the port rail, and he went over-
board head first, but in his descent he
grabbed a loose line that hung over the
side. The vessel next raised out of the
water from the middle, as if forced up
by a powerful jackscrew. She went up
like a flash and fell back just in time to
right herself. Then something struck
the rudder a powerful jolt, and the
tiller threw Captain Burke sprawling to
the deck. By this time Fitzhughes had
managed to climb aboard, and a huge
whale, appearing to be wounded, threw
water from his spouting apparatus all
over the vessel. The monster swam
rapidly away, spouting at irregular but
frequent intervals, and the two salts got
on their knees and offered up thanks for
their safe delivery.—San Diego Sun.
A CHARITABLE CONCLUSION.
Several years ago when Senator Coke,
with a magnificent amount of gall and
enthusiasm, said from all the pine stumps
in his neighborhood that the preachers
must be “scourged back” and their “ra-
tions cut off” because they disagreed
with him politically, a great many char-
itably inclined people passed it by more
in sympathy and sorrow than in anger
and with the hope that the gentleman
from Waco would eventually get over
the anarchistic and communistic spirit
which prompted his utterances at that
time. But alas, that hope was in vain.
Notwithstanding the senior senator has
turned the hill of life and is now ap-
proaching the sun-set of his existence,
he is just as unreasonable and extreme
as he ever was. Despite the fact that he
is nearly ready to fold life’s tent and pass
over the hills of the present into the
green valleys of the future, his utterances
are characterized by that arrogant intol-
erance and blustering bigotry which
made him an object of pity and contempt
when‘he was in the hey-dey of his glory
as a politician and place hunter. His
speech at Hillsboro was proof conclusive
of this fact. In that speech he hurled
insults into the teeth of every freeman
on Texas soil no matter whether he fol-
lows the political fortunes of Clark or
Hogg, for the simple reason that when
the senator said a man who would do
this or that was a traitor and “ought not
to live,”‘he impugned andliimpeached
the right of free born American citizens
to act for themselves. He not only in-
sulted all such, but by bis diatribe and
distempered ravings he clearly tried to
bull-doze and scare them into going his
way, by hurling threats of violence at
them. Such an exhibition of anarchy
and socialism was never before witnessed
in Texas, and despite the savage sen-
ator’s denial it has been amply proven
that he said what was credited to him.
This being the case, the man who hath a
charitable spot in his soul can only at-
tribute those utterances to the sad and
solemn fact that the once bright mind of
Senator Coke has been as effectually
shattered as if it had been smashed with
a base-ball bat.
Galveston is going to have paved
streets and fresh water if it takes thirty
years to get them. Croakers and moss-
backs can put this in their little pipes
and smoke it.
A Miracle.
This has certainly been a year of dis-
aster. Floods, famine, fires, earth-
quakes, strikes and many other agents
of destruction have spread their pall
over various parts of the world, but all
the woe they have caused is almost re-
paid in the miracle that has been en-
acted at Tamaqua, this state, where a
poor country editor has fallen heir to an
estate worth $100,000.—Somerset (Pa.)

A Mistake at the Church.
A Lovejoy young man started home
from church the other night with a
beauty who had come to preaching with
another fellow. The mistake was not
discovered until the young man began
his courting where he had left off with
the other girl, and when she said, “1
don’t understand you, sir,” it dawned
upon them both that they had exchanged
partners while coming out of the church
door. The other couple were near by
enjoying the joke, and in order to re-
lieve the embarrassment then existing
came to the rescue, and each young lady
armed her original escort and the court-
ing proceeded, being thoroughly under-
stood this time by all parties.—Coving-

Had letters kept you, every wreath were yours;
Had the world tempted, all its chariest doors
Had swung on flattered hinges to admit
Such high bred manners, such good natured
wit;
At courts, in senates, who so fit to serve?
And both invited, but you would not swerve,
All meaner praises waiving that you might
In civic duty spend your heat and light
Unpaid, untrammeled, with a sweet disdain
Refusing posts men grovel to attain.
Good Man all own you; what is left me then
To heighten praise with but Good Citizen?

But praise can harm not who so calmly met
Slander’s worst word, nor treasured up the

Knowing, what all experience serves to show,
No mud can soil us but the mud we throw.

As all must, not sworn liegemen of the crowd,
And far aloof your silent mind could keep,
As when in heavens with winter midnight

The perfect moon hangs thoughtful, nor can

What hounds her lucent calm drives mad be-
low.

Chief Wegner Talks About the Matter
to a Tribune Reporter.
A Tribune reporter met Chief Wegner
of the Galveston fire department this
morning, and in speaking of the Tremont
opera house he said: “lam now keeping
three men on the back part of the stage
from the opening to the close of each per-
formanc. There is water and hose con-
nected, but the hose does not suit, as it
is a three-quarter hose and I want a two-
inch hose. However, Manager Walker
has promised to put in a two-inch hose
as soon as possible. Then the opera
house will be as safe, so far as danger
from fire is concerned, as the building
as it now stands can be made.
“The mayor appointed a committee
consisting of Engineer Wilson, a com-
petent architect and myself to investi-
gate and thoroughly inspect the build-
ing so that we can report back to the
city council. I suppose that when this
is done whatever action is warranted
by the facts as reported will be taken. In
the report which was made by myself to
the council relative to the Tremont opera-
house I was not instigated by any petty
spleen or personal malice, but I was
simply discharging my plain duty to the
people of this city. The only interest I
have in the matter is to look after the
general safety and welfare of the people
of Galveston so far as I am able to do so.”
Mr. W. J. Feary (Feary) living at
3307 Winnie street is an expert boiler
maker employed in the Santa Fe shops
here. His wife has suffered intensely
from an abscess of the eye, which has
threatened to entirely ruin the sight.
She has been treated by some of the
leading specialists in the south for two
years without any relief. Dr. Dennie
the occuliet began treating her a little
over a month ago and today sbe says she
is almost entirely well. The cure is
remarkable from the fact that the case
began from a severe catarrh of the nose
and throat and the treatment was
directed to the nose instead of the eye.
They speak in the highest terms of the
doctor’s skill.
Cylinder and Choked Barrel.
I am acquainted with a gentleman
who has conceived the idea that the
best all around gun is one weighing
seven and a half pounds, with right bar-
rel a perfect cylinder and left barrel full
choked. So convinced was he that such
a gun was the best for general game
shooting that he ordered a Colt gun
built thus for the present season’s shoot-
ing.
This gentleman claimed that by the
use of the cylinder barrel he could shoot
woodcock in the' brush, also ruffed
grouse, and have the left barrel for long
shot, such as plover, snipe or duck.
■ It is now several weeks since the shore
bird season opened, and considerable
shooting has been done with this gun.
Almost every day this gun has been used
a long shot—between forty and sixty
yards—has been taken and a bird killed.
“Ah!” the gunner would exclaim, ‘.‘there
is nothing like a full choked gun to
reach a bird at long range!” Then, as
he opened the gun to insert a fresh car-
tridge, would be heard these words:
“Great Scott! I’ve shot the cylinder in-
stead of the choked barrel!” The sports-
man still argues that the full choked
gun is the proper-gun for shots beyond
twenty-five yards, but almost daily
when shooting he accidentally fires the
wrong barrel and kills birds clean at
forty yards and sometimes at a longer
distance.—Shooting and Fishing.

Glaciers in Idaho.
An immense glacial field has been dis-
covered in the unexplored region of cen-
tral Idaho by F. B. Schermerhorn, geol-
ogist and mineralogist. Under the date
of Aug. 8 he writes as follows:
“As 1 came over the divide into Big
Creek I saw away to the west, among
the high mountains, what appeared to
be a glacier. Inquiry at Big Creek de-
veloped the fact that though two of the
men in camp had lived there several
years they had never been able to get
up to that snow. They also told me
many had tried it and failed. All had
tried to take horses with them. I deter-
mined to go on foot.
“As I advanced the signs of the white
man decreased until they disappeared
altogether. The country through which
I made my way was the wildest and
roughest of any through which I ever
traveled in point of grandeur and pic-
turesque beauty. The view from the
peaks rivals anything in mountain scen-
ery in the United States.
“Beneath the glacial field I found a
series of glacial lakes. The glacial fields
are quite extensive. They probably
cover nearly as great an area, though
not so thick, as the great glacial fields
of-the Alps. I examined sixteen termi-
nal moraines. Of this number eleven
were receding, four stationary and only
one advancing. None that I saw ex-
tended more than 2,000 feet below the
snow line.”
The writer says that the glaciers are
located about thirty-five miles south-
west of Shoup, amid a number of very
high peaks that are not down on the
maps.—Boise Cor. San Francisco Chron-
icle.

THURSDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 22,1892.
From the hue and cry among local poli-
ticians about fair dealing at the polls, it
might be inferred that at some time in
. the not far distant past, there had been
some ballot box irregularity in Galveston.
Evening Tribune this afternoon an-
nounces Judge Rosenthal of Fayette
county as a republican candidate for con-
gress from the 10th congressional dis-
trict. In referring to the same Evening
Tribune will state that while Judge
Rosenthal is unquestionably an accom-
plished gentleman and good citizen, he
has gone wrong—politically speaking.
Just get on to Evening Tribune’s rapid
move.
The railroad commissioners must be
drawing a salary for what they are not
doing. __________________
Were it not that everything is so ab-
solutely absorbed with politics, the cry
might be, “on to the mainland.”
The democrat in Galveston who fails
to vote for Walter Gresham for congress
is not only recreant to that allegiance
which he owes to his party, but he is
dead to every sense of local pride.
Thaumaturgis Terrell, of Austin,
the gentleman who made one speech
during the grand march of the campaign
at Georgetown, has not been heard from
lately. Evening Tribune will hazard
the assertion that he will not be heard
from again. He accidentally stumbled on
Gen. Ross in his peregrinations and the
skin has never grown back.
What has become of General John
Marshall Claiborne? A heated political
canvass without General Claiborne bob-
bing up serenely is likened unto the play
of Hamlet with the sad-eyed Dane tied
out in the back yard.
Alderman Schmidt is no orator, as
Brutus was, but when he taxes the stand
to make a speech he is bound to say
something, even if it breaks a quorum.
Political revolutions are not bad
things, after all. They at least have the
good result of forcing the average citizen
to a closer study of existing political
co nditions._________________
If Candidate Hogg and Candidate Clark
should both be called to Japan to look
after the affairs of that country, good old
Texas would continue to live just as if
nothing had happened.

Entered at the Galveston Post.oflice as mail
matter of the second class.
Evening Tribune receives daily the reports of
the Associated Press, the Texas Afternoon
Press and the Southern Press Bureau, being
a member of all these news associations.
The average citizen is glad to see that
the city council is at last awakening
from its lethargy. The aidermen have
within the past fortnight awarded a
$150,000 street paving contract and have
placed the fresh water supply question
upon a practical basis.
In the language of Artemus Ward,
Bre’r Johnston, of the Houston Post, is
a peculiar cues. A few months ago he
had his bristles the wrong way and was
going to exterminate the governor all
’round and in spots for “slandering the
press.” Now he not only declines to re-
fute these slanders, but he is absolutely
serving on the state executive committee
of the very man whom he says slandered
him. As Madam Partington would say,
“Du tell'”.
With the fight now on in the guber-
natorial race there won’t be many com-
binations with the gubernatorial and
local candidates. The candidates for
'local office are sawing wood and letting
Hogg and Clark severely alone. In this
they are wise.
It was Editor Johnston,of the Houston
Post, who was going to make a speech at
Greenville for the purpose of “refuting
the wholesale slander of the governor
on the daily press of Texas.” However,
a wonderful change came over the
dreams of Editor Johnston. Instead of
refuting the governor’s “slanders on the
press,” he is now daily placing his lips
in juxtaposition with the latter’s sandals.
Just before Candidate Clark and Can-
didate Hogg proceed to gouge each other
until tufts of hair are as thick as
leaves in Valambrosia, Evening Tribune
rises up to exclaim : “Vote for Gresh-
am.” ___
Col. Gresham and Judge Rosenthal
both say they are going to wind up the
matinee with a fat and juicy majority.
In view of this fact Evening Tribune
ventures the prediction that somebody
has blundered.
When the morning paper .attempts to
t make local history it should first of all
be sure of its facts. For example, refer-
ence is made to the recent write up in
that journal of the Galveston fire depart-
ment, which contains some errors and
omissions destrojing the value of the
article as a chapter in the municipal his-
tory of Galveston.
By the natural laws of gravity, one by
one of'the big guns of the democratic
party of Texas are dropping off the
fence, some falling on one side and some
on the other. Some few, however, are
yet on the peich. The situation is getting
too warm. There can be no neutral
ground—no fence straddlers in the pres-
ent canvass—for the politician.
As the present election involves the
election of members of cong! ess through-
out the state, each political party will be
represented at the polls through the
medium of election supervisors ap-
pointed-by the United States court.
