Texas Cotton Crop.
The News this morning publishes a
cotton crop report from 122 counties,
giving an average increase in acreage of
7.16 per cent over last year, estimating
the present acreage to be 4,650,000 acres.
The greatest increase is in the north
Texas district, 8.5, while the smallest is
in the central district, 5.1 per cent. The
crop is in fine condition, clean and gen-
erally well advanced. At a half a bale
to the acre this points to a 2,325,000
crop, which will fall above or below that
figure according to the weather condi-
tions hereafter.

KNOCKING AT OCR DOOR.
A petition of farmers in Dallas county
has been presented to the Dallas Com-
mercial club asking help to secure special
railroad rates on grain and hay to Gal-
veston for export to Cuba and the West
Indies.
This is the beginning of a tremendous
demand from producers for access to this
port. The culmination of deep wattfr
advises the farmers of the interior that
the thing that they have prayed for has
come. They have been watching the
jetty work and they realize that the time
is at hand for them to take advantage of
the harbor secured here at government
cost. They see no occasion for shipping
grain 1000 miles to the north and west,
to be sold at foreign demand prices, less
freights, when they can strike the gulf
with a railroad haul of only 3C0 miles.
There ought to be a saving on freights of
the cost of 701 miles of transportation.
It is significant that this movement
starts with the farmers. It shows their
intelligent comprehension of the situa-
tion and their keen perception of the ad-
vantages of this port. It shows, too,
that they are ready to utilize what has
been accomplished by the government
with the people’s money for the people’s
welfare, and it reveals the fact that the
establishment of a deep-water port here
is in no sense local in purpose or effect
To Galveston this demand means
much if it is promptly and intelligently
met. It means that business is knock-
ing at our door. It means that the hay
is being baled and the grain is being cut
and is awaiting egress through a deep-
water port. It means that the people
want their products to come this way
and that every natural impulse of trade
draws it in this direction. But it means
more. It means that ships must be pro-
vided, rates secured and business rela-
tions established with the interior and
with the foreign centers of consumption.
It means that how is the day, this the
opportunity for local energy and capital
to start the current of trans-Mississippi
trade in this direction.
It seems that there are two or three
buffaloes in the mountains west of San
Antonio and the Alamo space writers for
the northern press are discovering a new
herd every three days. If they keep on
the state will soon be full of buffaloes
again.
The Presbyterian war did not end with
the adverse action of the general assem-
bly on the heresies of Doctor Briggs and
Prof. Smith. The friends of the dis
senters have organized a league within
the church to combat the conservatives
and to wage a war of “pure reason.” If
by “pure reason” the dissenters mean
human reason^ they are likely to provoke
a widespread division, as human, reason
is not an element of orthodox faith. The
new movement is led by Rev. Dr. Anson
P. Attorbury, pastor of the Park Presby-
terian church; Rev. Dr. J. H. Hoadley,
of Faith church; Rev. John B. Shaw,
of West End Presbyterian church;
Rev. George S. Webster, of Cove-
nant Chapel; Prof. Francis Brown,

“May I make it four days?” and the
message was duly delivered to Mr. X.,
who, after paying six shillings for its
delivery, replied: “Yes, of course, but
don’t telegraph.” Toward evening the
mounted telegraph messenger ag-ain
appeared, and once more demanded a
further six shillings for his services.
The telegram, when opened, read as
follows: “Why not? Lockwood.”

MUTILATED STAMPS.
According to the Law a Torn Stamp Wil]
Not Carry a Letter.
The question of the exact extent tQ
which a stamp may be mutilated and
yet be passed by the post office clerks
is one that is often raised. There is an
order of the post office department,
says the New York Post, that a letter
cannot be forwarded in the mails if
any part of the stanp is lost. This
would mean that even if the merest
corner of the stamp were torn it would
not be accepted. Although the de-
partment acknowledges that occasion-*
ally in the application of this rule
some hardship results complaints are
rarely made. As regards its observ-
ance in the New York post office As-
sistant Postmaster Gaylor said the other
day:
“It is an order which is impressed
upon every new clerk, although we ex-
pect them to exercise a certain amount
of discretion and common sense. The
validity of a postage stamp, under the
law, depends-upon it never having been
used before for postage, which must be
determined from the condition of the
stamp itself. There are many stamps
on mail matter that go from post
offices insufficiently canceled; the de-
facement is often inconspicuous, some-
times only in a corner or along the
margin. If the practice were such as
to admit the use of mutilated stamps,
one part of which might be from an-
other stamp, the government would be
defrauded. We have never in the New
York post office had complaints from
people whose letters were not for-
warded because the stamps were im-
perfect. The cases of rejection of let-
ters on account of mutilated stamps
are very few.”
His Autograph Machine.
A story is going the rounds of the for-
eign press which ought to interest col-
lectors of autographs. It relates to the
late Hans von Bulow, and tells how, on
one occasion, being requested for his
signature by an American visitor, the
musician rang the bell, and fiercely
bade the servant to “send up the man
who writes my autographs.” This is
almost as good as Mark Twain’s plan
of having his autograph pounded out

—During the revolutionary war the
people of New Hampshire took an act-
ive part. Their men were engaged in
many important battles, from that of
Bunker Hill to that of Yorktown, and
were particularly distinguished for
their bravery in the battles at Benning-
ton, Bemis’ Heights, Saratoga and Mon-
mouth.
—The crew of an Austrian barque
abandoned their vessel in the Atlantic
because they thought the bones which
formed part of the cargo were those of
human beings brought from the battle-
fields of Egypt. The crew, believing
that the vessel was haunted by spirits
of the departed warriors, determined
to desert her.
—The new orange cups have ap-
peared in various forms. The original

variety has silver spears at each side

a set of turbine wheel forms in the bot-
tom, with which the orange is screwed
and held fast.

four smokes a day.
—Hairspring wire for watches weighs
one-twentieth of a grain to an inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than half
a pound. The balance gives five vibra-
tions every second, 300 every min-
ute, 18,000 every hour, 433,000 every
day and 157,680,000 every year. At each
vibration it rotates about one and one-
fourth times, which makes 197,100,000
revolutions every year.
—The emperor of Germany drinks
nothing but Mexican coffee, and a
year’s supply is sent to him regularly
after every harvest from a plantation
in the state of Michoacan, which lies
on the Pacific coast of Mexico about
midway between the United States and
Central America. There 4s a large
German colony there which has been
cultivating coffee for many years.
—A proposed law that any new build-
ing erected in London shall have its
front not less than twenty feet from
the middle of the street has brought
out the fact that there are in the heart
of the city thirty-two miles of streets
less than forty feet broad. If the prin-
ciple were generally applied, on a plan
of reconstruction of streets, land to the
value of about forty millions of dollars
would be sacrificed.
—An exchange giv.es an interesting
account df the manufacture of hair
pins. They are made by automatic
and very complicated machines. The
coiled wire is put upon drums and be-
comes straightened as it feeds itself to
the machine. It passes along until it
reaches two cutters, which point the
ends at the same time that they cut it
to the length required. This piece of
a wire then slips along an iron plate
until it reaches a slot, through which
it is pressed into the regular shape.
The hairpins are then put into a pan
and japanned, after which they are
heated in an oven with a temperature
of from 300 to 400 degrees.

^Beware of imita-
tions. A book on Dermatology with every cake
There is a quaint and curious old
town on the Colorado river in Arizona,
situated about one hundred and forty |
miles above the town of Yuma, that is I
known to the few who are aware of its ;
existence by the name of Ehrenburg. I
It now consists only of a few long |
streets of crumbling and uninhabited
adobe houses and a population of about
’ twenty Mexicans and Indians with
perhaps half a dozen whites. But, ac-
cording to the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, it was not always thus. In for-
mer days, before the advent of the two
transcontinental railways that now
cross the territory, Ehrenburg was a
place of some importance and boasted
a population, transient and permanent,
of near one thousand souls. In those
days, besides being the center of a
flourishing placer mining district, it
was the entry port for all the freight
and passenger traffic between Cali-
fornia and northern Arizona, a line of
river steamboats from Yuma making a
weekly landing and the overland stage
between San Bernardino, Cal., and
Prescott, Arizona, crossing the river by
ferryboat at this point. In 1878, when
the Southern Pacific railway reached
the territory, the glory of Ehrenburg
commenced to decline, and later, when
the Atlantic and Pacific railway built
its bridge at the Needles, sixty miles
above, the old town was soon deserted
by all save a few miners who held
claims in the vicinity, and since then,
both the town and its inhabitants have
been enjoying a Rip Van Winkle re-
pose. If we are permitted to judge
from the results of an official investiga-
tion lately conducted at the Ehren-
burg post office, this-statement must be
especially true as regards the post-
master of this forgotten town.
It seems that one Jesus Daniels, a
Mexican, received the appointment of
postmaster to the town some twelve
years ago, and has ever since held the
positioii without the interference of
postal authorities and without com-
municating with them in any manner
whatever. The population of the dis-
trict tributary to the post office has in-
creased during the last eighteen
months, owing to an awakening inter-
est in some of the old mines in the vi-
cinity, and the failure of letters to
reach their destination through that
office led to complaints, until the mat-
ter culminated in Inspector George B.
Waterbury being sent from Washing-
ton to investigate. He arrived there
some weeks ago, and his examination
brought to light a curious state of af-
fairs. In the office were found one
hundred and fifty-eight letters, some
of them postmarked twelve years ago.
Among them were seven registered
letters, fifty-seven with requests for re-
turn ot them; seven were addressed to
Ellisburg, Wash., and had never been
forwarded, and fifty-one were ad-
dressed to persons living in Ehrenburg.
These latter the inspector himself de-
livered. to the parties to whom they
were addressed. Laid to one side were
sixty official letters addressed to the
postmaster, not one of which had been
opened, and two full sacks of newspa-
per mail lay in a corner, neither of
which had been opened. It was also
brought to light that since taking
charge of the office Daniels has never
made a report or purchased a stamp
from Washington. Further search re-
vealed the fact that three years ago
Thomas J. Goodwin, an old citizen of
Ehrenburg, had been appointed post-
master of the town, and his commis-
sion had been duly forwarded to him.
The document was found unopened,
and of course had not been delivered.

Tha Houston Fraud.
Houston Herald.
The Herald is entirely unable to say
who is responsible for this piece of dirty
work, and whether Galveston and Hous-
ton continue to grow and remain on
friendly terms or not The Tribune is
assured that .thia vote exchanging be-
tween the two cities will not again be
tolerated by the people of Houston, a
very large majority of whom condemn
such rotten politics in no uncertain way
and in a manner not approved by the
Sunday-schools.
So much for the vote importation busi-
ness. But what about the legality of the
primary he'd in the Third ward last
Thursday night? Will anyone contend
that it is fair? Will anyone contend
that where the lines were so tightly
drawn and the contest close, a lot of
“bums” from a neighboring city
should be permitted to swoop
down upon the ward and by
their votes thwart the will of the
sovereigns of that ward? That’s exactly
what the Galveston “bums” did for the
people of the Third ward last Thursday
night, and the question is, shall the ac-
tion of that ward be permitted to stand
as the voice of the voters? Or shall its
action be declared off and a new primary
ordered for that ward?
If the good people of the Third ward
would not “seemingly” indorse such
crooked election methods they should at
once petition the chairman of the county
democratic executive committee to or-
der a new primary for that ward, in or-
der that the honest sentiment of the
voters be had as to whom they favor for
county officials. Besides, it is due them
that their ward be cleansed of the po
litical stain that soils its fair escutcheon.

EASY-GOING POSTMASTER, i
NIGHT
A Customer Who Kept the Clerk and Bell-
Boy Busy.
A nig’ht clerk of one of the principal
hotels of the city had a customer the
: other night.
He ambled into the hotel with the
uncertain gait and hesitating manner
of a man who is conscious of the fact
that he has turned on the wrong’ road,
carrying in his hand a new valise that
| looked as though it had been given a
' coat of hog lard before driving to the
station.
He saw the clerk at about the same
moment that he was discovered, and
stopped as though caught stealing a
ham from his jinin’ neighbor’s smoke
house. He began stroking his chin
whiskers, and looked up to see where
the roof was.
“Good evening, sir,” nodded the
clerk, pleasantly.
“Howdy?” asked the new arrival.
Just then his eye located the ceiling
and he held it transfixed as though
fearful of losing it, while the top of his
head, from the chin up, was stretched
back until it was on a line with his
spinal column. “How’s folks?”
“Why, pretty well, thank you,” re-
plied the clerk. “Your folks well?”
The upturned eyes slowly followed
the lines of the decorated ceiling, the
body turning in unison until the
stranger’s back was revealed. What
there was visible seemed to have been
used some.
“Right peart,” was the slow and al-
most strangled answer, “ ’cept Mandy;
she’s ailin’ ag’in. Ike hain’t had no fit
since corn cuttin’.”
The ceiling having been duly digest-
ed, the eyes slowly returned to the
horizon and then sunk to the oil-cloth
valise. That seemed to remind him.
“What’ll I do with iny trunk?”
“You might set it down on the floor,
Unless you would prefer holding it the
rest of the evening—some do one and
some do the other,” returned the clerk.
“Thought this was a tavern,” and
the figure started to retreat.
“It is.”
“Hain’t it an opery house?”
“No, it’s a ho—-I mean tavern.”
“Don’t see no beds.”
“They’re up there above the roof.
Do you want to register?”
“’Way up thar!” and again the up-
per part of the face receded from the
chin.
“Do you want to register?”
“Uhuh! where’ll I go?”
“Guess you don’t understand,
asked you if you wanted to register.
“I told you. Want to stay all night,
too. Which way is it?”
The clerk got him up-stairs after a
half hour’s hard work, and drew a
breath of relief. “Well, there is the
worst I ever see,” was his mental com-
ment.
Fifteen minutes later he heard a
shout from the upper regions of the
house, and sent a bell-boy up .on the
double quick to see what the trouble
was. The boy reappeared in a mo-
ment with the stranger. In his hand
was his fy-unk.
“Say, young feller, kin you hang
this up some place where the pesky
rats can’t get at it?”
“Certainly. What have you in it?”
“Shelled corn for seed.”
The heavy valise was stowed away,
and a bell-boy started with him in tow.
At the bottom of the stairway he
stopped.
“ ’Sposin’ there’s a fire in the tavern.
—then whar be I?”
“We’ll let you know if there is.”
“ ’Sposin’ I git burned up. Then
who’ll do the chores to-morrer?”
“You won’t burn,” assured the clerk.
He seemed relieved. “Sure?”
“I know it,” gasped the clerk.
This satisfied him, and he departed.
The bell-boy waited till he had climbed
into bed, turned the light out, locked
him in, and a few minutes later his
slumbers sounded like a weather sig-
nal.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
Nature Constant, Conditions Change.
So far are the money-making qualifi-
cations from being dependent only
upon the natural endowment of the in-
dividual, that their effectiveness
changes as social conditions change.
Seven hundred years ago the qualities
that commanded wealth in England
were sucM?hs give a man little advan-
tage in the pursuit of it to-day—and
might mean a term of penal servitude.
To be bold, to ride well, to handle
lance and sword with skill, to seize a
neighbor’s lands, to levy blackmail on
merchandise, to capture and fleece an
occasional money-lender, to “lift” a
herd of cattle, were the incidents in a
prosperous career. A man cannot get
rich by any of these methods now, and
men with other natural endowments
than those that flourished, best in me-
dieval times have an advantage. Na-
ture has remained constant, but social
conditions have changed, and there are
myriads of ways to fortune, anciently
unknown, from building a railroad or
a steamship to making leaden gods for
Asian idolaters.—Rochestei’ Post-Ex-
press.
