A New Chinese Laundry Company to Re-
duce Prices.
Boston, Mass., May 1.—The Standard
says that the Lea company of New York,
the new Chinese laundry company, will
open in this city at once its fight against
the six companies of San Francisco, the
-concern supposed to control nearly all the
laundries in the country. Already a cut
of 10 per cent in laundry prices has been
made, and a bigger cut is promised. Ah
•Sing, who is connected with the Chinese
company here, says the fight means the
demoralization of the laundry business.
The fight is opened here because 1173 out
of the 1433 Chinese in Boston are laundry-
men. The laundries which have cut prices
are now classed in Chinese what is
■ equivalent to “scab” in the English
language.
“AU FAIT.”
The correct thing now to do when en-
tertaining your friends is. to take them to
the Hotel Grand for a spread. There you
can offer them the finest meal, get a
greater assortment than.you could poss-
ibly think of doing at home, and make
them feel that Galveston justly boasts of
the finest restaurant in all Texas, and a
sure road io your friend’s heart is through
his stomach._________________

Not Discouraged By Misfortune, But Full
of Pluck as Ever.
Cripple Creek, Colo., May 1.—A com-
mitte of business men. has issued the fol-
lowing address 'to the public to show that
Cripple Creek is not discouraged by its
misfortunes:
“Cripple Creek has grown with the de-
velopment of the greatest gold mining dis-
trict on earth, in which it is situated,
and its permanence and business value
are dependent on its location. Many of
our business and residence buildings have
•been destroyed by two terrible fires with-
in the past week. The town, which is the
center of the richest known district in
the world, remains', and its citizens who
have built it up from a stock ranch, four
years ago, to a city of 20,000 inhabitants
at present, believe that its location and
many advantages offer greater oppor-
tunities for their energies than ever. They
desire to announce through the great
press of the country that they have lost
their homes and their business' blocks,
but not their pluck, and are already start-,
ing a magnificent city on the ruins of the
old.
“'Some aid in the rebuilding will be re-
quired from the more fortunate residents
of other cities, but only such as can be
fully secured to the lenders and only
such as is usual in. business transactions
■between business men. The fearful rapid-
ity and widespread destruction of the fires
which threatened the destruction of
almost the entire town were due to the
flimsy construction of the buildings erect-
ed during the rapid growth of a mining
town.
“With more men employed and more
miners daily producing more gold than
any other mining camp in the United
States, adding $12,000,000 per year to the
gold stock of the world, with more capi-
tal and greater population than ever be-
fore and the security offered by widely
extended fire limits, we are building a
permanent town, and feel that its wealth
and the nature of its resources offer to
capital more productive and paying in-
vestments than any other, and we cor-
dially invite the investing public to in-
vestigate what we have to offer.”
A Band of Naturalists' to go to Puget
Sound.
New York, N. Y., May 1.—Columbia uni-
versity Will send a band of naturalists
to explore the Puget sound region. The
expedition will set out June 10. The first
move towards getting up the expedition
was made by Prof. Meade, who will have
charge of it. He said: “I believe the
expedition will be of immense value to
science. The oldest and strongest forms
of life are to be found in the waters
there, and on the land also-. There are
fish there absolutely unknown.
“WeJ shall -also have a botanist along,
so that nothing in the country may be
'■ missed, and equal care- will be- exercised
for the liberal fauna. We intend also to
..have an eye on the fisheries there.”
‘Three zoologists will accompany the
party and one 'botanist, Prof. Britton.
Prof. N. Harrington and A. J. Grant will
also be of the party.

Crown and Bridge Work a Specialty.,
Best Coffee at Buttlemau’s,,
Page, encouraged by an almost fault-
less 'Support, made a sad spectacle' of nine
young Senators yesterday, who seemed
to avoid giving an example of good ball
playing as studiously as their elders avoid
a dull -session of the legislature. Eight
innings passed away and the visitors
were unable to find the key to that tan-
tilizing slow ball twirled by the young
Sand Crab. However in the ninth Hey-
den, after -casually putting the ball over
the center field -fence, stopped on third
base, either inspired by'laziness or the
evident intention to rattle Page. Par-
tially he succeeded, for the Galveston
pitcher was scarcely used to such parlia-
mentary customs, and in surprise the
next two- men found him for a- two-
bagger and a single, scoring two tallies.
The visitors, as usual, were first at the
bat, but soon retired to give their oppon-
ents a chance. Staples, in a fit of gener-
osity gave Sweairenger first, -and Weck-
becker, who -attempted to sacrifice,
■reached the beginning of base circuit,
through Weikart’s courtesy, who fielded
The ball slowly after Weckbeckcr had been
forced out on the lines. Belt sent the
bull far across Tremont street for a home
run, scoring three times, Badger having
reached first on play. In the second Aus-
t'O'ii couldn’t touch Page, but Kemmer for
Galveston secured another home run
over that same center field fence.
The third saw Austin’s first man reach
first on an error.
In the fourth Staples having struck
out two men and got in an assist in Gal-
veston’s part of the inning, Lawrence hit
safe to center, and Nie advanced him to
third on a two bagger. Two men were
out, and Heyden hit a hot one to- Belt,
whio made a good stop, but threw7' wild to
Douglas, scoring Lawrence.
Staples was particularly generous to
Swearinger, donating to him again the
initial bag. If Burns had covered second
and received Heyden’s beautiful throw
directly over that base, the recipient of
Staples’ generosity would have died right
there. But Burns was pulling at the
grass contemplatively in deep short, and
there was not -a vestige of any other Sen-
ator about that spot. Swearinger scored
on Blackburn’s dreadful muff of Kem-
mer’s high fly. Staples had another fit
of generosity in the seventh. After giv-
ing Weckb-ecker four untamed ones, who
stole -second, the Austin pitcher scored
him by throwing wide of first. Lawrence,
after “catching Hoover’s long fly threw
very wildly at second base and Badger
came running home from third. Galves-
ton scored again in the ninth by virtue
of WeckbeckeFs safe bunt, which he beat
out to first. After purloining second,
Staples gave him third pn a -wild throw
at second base. Belt hit a -slow one- to
first and Pete easily scored. Austin ad-
ded two runs to her score in'the ninth.
A home run, two bagger -and single doing
the business-. The- result wets as follows.:

SYNOPSIS.
The area of low -pressure- which was
central at Oklahoma last night has
moved north-Sas-tward, diminished in in-
tensity, and overlies the upper Mississippi
valley. An area of high pressure is cen-
tral over the south Atlantic and east gulf
,-states and another is moving in over the
Rocky, mountain slope. The weather is
clear over the -extreme western portion
■of the country and generally partly cloudy
elsewhere, with rain at Omaha.

Her Trust Betrayed-, She Seeks to End
Her Life.
New York, N. Y., May 1.—A young
woman who gave her name as Elmira Dur-
and, and who claimed to be 'the daughter
o-f a wealthy cotton merchant of New
Orleans, attempted suicide by taking mor-
phine. She was staying at the residence
of a Newark, N. J., police officer named
Owens. He ii'Oticed the young lady cry-
ing on the streets, and learning her story,
sent her to his home. A physician who
was t called in succeeded in saving Miss
Durand’s life. According to her statement
she ran away from New Orleans with
Dr. De Lome, of New York. They ar-
rived in this- -city last Tuesday on a
steamer. The doctor promised to marry
her, Miss Durand says, but disappeared
-mysteriously. Despondent over the turn
things had taken, she attempted her life.
THE OLD STORY.

Lexington, Ky„ May 1.—In the- United
States court at Frankfort yesterday Major
L. -B. Hoover, of 'Lexington, filed suit
against Postmaster -Chaney at Lexington,

tion -of the mail. The petition also- at-
tacks the constitutionality of the law
under which the mail of the Southern
mutual investment company, of Lexing-
ton, Ky., was returned to the writers
marked “fraudulent.” The plaintiff is
represented by Hon. H. J. Butterworth,
-of Washington; Judge C. B. Matthews, of
Cincinnati, and J. Honning Nelins, of Lex-
ington. This isi the first time a post-
master was ever sued in Ken^cky.

MAY STRIKE.
Cleveland. O.. May. 1.—The union car-
penters of Cleveland have agreed to- make
a demand for an eight hour day on Mon-
day next and, if the demand is refused,
they will throw down their tools ami re-
fuse to work. Leading national officers
of the Amalgamated Society of Carpen-
ters and Joiners are already on the field
to give the local unions counsel and ad-
vice. Tonight a mass meeting is to be
held in Memorial hall for the purpose of
mapping out a plan of action ’and*f:o -se-
cure the co-operation cf all non-union
carpenters should a strike be found neces-
sary. The union men are strong, numer-
ically and financially, but it is the gen-
eral belief that the contractors will avoid
a. struggle by granting the demand for
shorter hours.

older face becomes haggard under this
vivid wreath, of flowers' effect. Having-
said so- much, it will be understood that
the hat pictured here is becoming only to
a strictly youthful face. It is mordore
stra w with - moss green reflections. Its
crown is so-low that it is entirely hidden
by the full .wreath of small roses with
foliage that ’encircles it. A large bunch
of tumbled violets is placed -against the
brim in back, -and at the -left side there is
•a high aigrette of corn flowers. This may-
be replaced by daisies, hyacinths or any
other long stemmed flower, the color -be-
ing immaterial so- long as it forms a
pretty comrast to -the other tints on the
hat.
Black , and green continues the fad in
millinery. Turbans are made with the
'crown merely a roll of green stems, held
!in place in an over net of -black -cord.
This ’-green, especially when relieved a

a veil is added over the green brimmed
hat and the. face, a muddy skin becomes
almost clear, or at least looks its best.

LABOR LEADERS’ CONVENTION.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 1.—So far as
the American federation of labor is
concerned, today will witness no- general
upheavel in the industrial world as was
threatened by the order issued some time
since for the carpenters and horseshpers
throughout the country to make a de1-
mand for an. egiht hour day on this date.
President Gompers, in speaking of the
situation, says:
“There will be no- great strike. There
may be isolated demands for an eight
hour day or a nine hour day. The men
whose minds are the directing forces of
the federation are ultra-conservative. I
believe it was upon the platform of con-
servatism they were elected to office last
December. They recognize the slow
emergence of the country from condi-
tions of depression. They feel th’at dis-
turbance of rising trade and industrial
barometers would be criminal. They will
not disturb them. They will not permit
others to disturb them, if they can help
it.”
BLOOM THAT SHOULD TOP
YOUTH.
For The Tribune.
Some -of the new hats do1 look like
feather dusters gone wrong, but fashion
says they are “all right,” so now and then
Iwhen you see one on the kind of girl who
seems made for that sort of thing, you
know that it was that kind of girl whom
fashion had in mind when she made the
quoted edict. But remember! probably
you are not that kind of a girl, so be wise
■and buy another kind of hat.' It is gen-
erally safer to get one of the sort on
which flowers are crowded, almost to the
exclusion of feather effects. Of this sort
■is the low crowned sailor, which in front
view appears to be merely a great jack
rose right -in the center, a bunch of yellow
daffodils -on one side and a hunch of vio-
lets on the other. A big bunch of crushed
together leaves shows at -either side, and
there’s a sprawling bow at the ‘back, the
loops-of which appear above the flowers,
the hat’s crown remaining unsuspected.
This is all very well for a young face
or one well masked behind a veil, but an

HYPNOTISM.
Dr. A. C. Burroughs, .the famous hyp-
notic healer, is billed to appear at the
Grand opera house Sunday, night, May 3.
The doctor has drawn. crowded houses
wherever he has appeared and Galyeston
will be no exception to the rule, as appli-
cations for seats are already coming in.
He gives a clean, amusing and entertain-
ing exhibition, and his work is really mar-
velous. There is no fake .about Dr. Bur-
roughs, as his subjects.,are volunteers
from the audience, and there can be no
possible collusion. -v • - .
Skeptics on the subject of hypriotism
are particularly invited to come-and wit-
ness "the exhibition Sunday night. ■
Dr. Burroughs has apartments at the
Tremont hotel, where he will be glad to
see all who are afflicted with nervous or
muscular diseases. He has cured others
and no doubt can cure you. Anyway, the
consultation will cost you nothing and
yau are standing in your, own light if you
do not avail yourself .of .this.golden op-
portunity to be cured. i
To the Tribune.
Hulene, lex., Aprl 30.—The value of
the address of the Hon. Leo. XT, Levi at
the convention‘of representative citizens
of coastwise Texas -at Dickinson, April
2, in the interests of good roads, cannot
be overestimated. One portion of his ad-
dress was devoted to stating an obser-
vation 'commonly made, that the best
boys from the farm and country have
been accustomed to leaving it for the
various attra’ctions of a’ career in the city.
He also stated that one factor of this
action on their partWvas the considera-
tion of the poor and at times impassable
roads, as compared to- the paved- streets
■and boulevards of our modern cities. In
this connection he made a plea, or rather
called- attention to the' probability of in-
ducing the tide of migration from the
cities to the country by providing suit-
able fioads over which to travel, in which
case the time would come when any well
to do citizen would be ambitious to own
a country home.
There can be no question of the sound-
ness of the argument that good roads
would greatly encourage the farmer and
his beys to remain -on the farm, and at
the same time induce the best element
of our -adjoining cities to locate among
them and, develop suburban homes away
from the strife’ and turmoil of a munici-
pality witii its factories and machine
shops.
An important -consideration seems to
me to be worthy of notice in this con-
nection. It is well known that not so
many-years ago a farmer’s boy who left
the farm to pursue a course at the State
Agricultural College “to le'arn farming”
easily b-ecanfe a victim of ridicule among
his fellows. This was largely due1 to the
temporary disrepute into which the
“scientific” farmers and professors in the
different departments of the college cur-
riculum had fallen. It must be admit-
ted that many of the professors and
scientists in charge weremere book farm-
ers and often never had seen a real “sure
enough” farm and, therefore, often de-
served the criticism and -ridicule heaped
upon them. Today, however, this condi-
tion has gradually changed for the better
and our state agricultural and mechanical
colleges are reaching a standard of prac-
ticality and thoroughness which makes
the reports of experimental work upon
■agricultural and ■ horticultural subjects
earnestly sought for.
It has also acted satisfactorily upon
the number andi kind of students, who
are sons of thrifty farmers and who go
there to enlarge their field of experience
and usefulness. Today it is an honor to
be able to enter -our state agricultural col-
leges, and the best and most successful
of our intelligent young farmers and fruit
growers, who have made for themselves
a livelihood and reputation, are found to
be graduates of our agricultural colleges
A healthy public sentiment in favor of
them has gradually been developing and
has done much to counteract, the migra-
tion of some of the best books on the
farms to the cities. The largely increased
enrollment of students. in these colleges
during the past few years shows that < his
best talent is being attracted along edu-
cational lines to the schools of horticul-
ture and agriculture from whence a great
majority go back to the farm better
equipped to enter into a happy and suc-
cessful ’Career'. ■ ■ ■" ■ ■ • • #
I have recited this influence of-the ag-
ricultural colleges upon the dignity of our
farmers and fruit growers to make plain
the importance of another, consideration
which these agricultural colleges might
fake up and develop and become a still
greater power for good. l am a graduate
and post gradute of one state7 agricultural
and mechanical college, 'was assistant
professor in another, and have had of-
ficial correspondence. with a great many
others. I regret to state, that in none of
the published catalogues distributed by
these institutions do I find a course of-
fered for the study and engineering of
good roads. A course on surveying, me-
chanical and general engineering is of-
fered, but no specific course for good
roads engineering.
If we are not to have g-o.od roads studied
in our agricultural colleges, where could
this study ibe more properly included?
Let the agricultural colleges, as a pro-
gressive educational factor, lend its tal-
ents and influence to create a healthy
sentiment among the students with re-
spect to so important a subject as “good
roads.” Let the educated and intelligent
farmers’ sons who graduate from our
agricultural schools be prepared to be
agents thr ough whom wholesome ref orms,
in which the gardener, farmer, and fruit
grower are so deeply interested, may be
disseminated. The colleges are perhaps
not so much at fault for failures to pro-
vide for a course upon “good roads en-
gineering,” since there has thus far been
no general and public demand for such
instruction. Now, however, that the
“good roads” question has come to stay
they should lose no time in .providing for
instruction along this line. It is so im-
portant a question that it would seem
advisable'that some suitable resolution
be introduced at the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Texas coast
utilization association in Galveston May
2, and that copies of the same be sent to
■the proper officials of the faculty and
board of trustees of our own state agri-
cultural college.
