—in the United States we are apt tc
consider our railroad rates as lower
than those of other countries, and this
is probably true of freight, but in pas-
senger rates the Indian railroads go
far below ours. The government re-
port on Indian railroads for the year
ended March 31, 1893. which has lately
been issued, gives the average rate on
all freight at 1.023 cents per ton mile;
our rate for 1892-93, according to the
inter-state commerce commission re-
ports, was 0.898 cents. Our average on
passenger business, however, was 2.126
cents per passenger mile, while the In-
dian railroads charged only 0.646 cents.

—Among the first gold finds made by
M. de Morgan in Egypt below the brick
pyramid was a massive breast orna-
ment, bearing in the center the formal
name of Vser-Tesen IL, supported by
two hawks, one hawk with the crown
of Upper, the other with that of Lower
Egypt on its head. The characters
that spell the king’s formal name are
inlaid with carnelian, lapis lazuli and
turquoise, and the entire front of the
ornament is decorated in similar fash-
ion with these precious stones. The
under side has the same cartouche
and characters, but engraved or chased
in the gold, not inlaid. It weighs thir-
ty-seven and one-half grams and is
thought the finest as well as the oldest
piece of gold jewelry ever found in
Egypt.—N. Y. Times.
—A Pre-Raphaelite is a follower of
a modern school of art that professed
to follow the artists who flourished be-
fore Raphael; it advocated study from
nature, delicacy and minuteness of
workmanship, and an exalted concep-
tion of the subject. The founders of
the school—which is wholly British—
were Ruskin, Holman Hunt and Dante
Gabriel Rossetti. Ruskinism is about
the same as Pre-Raphaelitism. The
Renaissance is the name applied to the
“rebirth” of classical learning in
Europe after the fall of Constantinople
in 1453, and to the results of that new
birth, as shown in the impetus g’iven
to painting, sculpture, architecture,
and all forms of refinement. An “Im-
pressionist” is a follower of a modern
school of art, French in origin, which
aimed to suggest an effect without
elaboration of details. The painter
Edouard Manet was the founder of the
school.

the attorney who came down from Hous
ton this morning succeeded in pro-
curing the affidavits of 11
voters who cast their ballots
illegally at the Houston primaries. I'
was hard work to get them, but talk and
money will do wonders sometimes. Many
more signatures could have been ob-
tained, but the stock took a sudden up-
shoot when the excursionists found they
were again in demand.

The attendance was not good last
night at the meeting of the Washington
Guards. Only 19 members were pres-
ent, and it was decided not to make a
street drill. Captain Knoll states that
unless a greater number of men are
willing to turn out it will be impossible
to attend the state encampm°nt at Aus-
tin in July.
The Houston primaries, and the man-
ner in which they were conducted, is
still the topic for discussion in political |
circles. A prominent Houston attorney ,
arrived in the city this morning and I
came at once to The Tribune office. He [
asked for information regarding the arti-
cles that bad appeared in The Tribune,
and stated he was here for the purpose
of ferreting out the fraud and obtaining
affidavits from those who voted illegally
at the Houston primaries.
The gentleman was referred to The
Tribune of Friday, June 1, and assured
that the information published came
from a reliable source.
“Will you kindly assist me for an
hour or so in finding some of the people
who went to Houston on that special
po'itical train,” asked the attorney.
“I want about twenty affidavits from
people who took part in the fraud,
not that there is any penalty attached to
what they did, but there is to be a maas
meeting held in Houston tonight, and
the action of the politicians in the
primaries will be denounced. The
respectable citizens of Houston are very
much worked up over the fraud that has
been perpetrated upon them and demand
a new primary election in the Thii d ward.
It may be that other protests will follow,
as it is rumored some 600 or 700 votes were
cast by non-citizens from up the State.”
A Tribune young man started out with
the attorney in search of some Galves-
tonian who had cast his vote at the pri-
— „ mary election in Houston. The first
constantly in"viewin°all ouF teaching" of P^ce visited was where the voters had

Fatal Aestheticism.
A Seattle family has a yellow dog
with a singular love for flowers, which
frequently gets him into trouble. The
dog, after making sure that the coast
Is clear, will go into the garden and
pluck a number of flowers, and, plac-
ing- them in a heap, wiH lie down and
go to sleep with his nose in the bunch.
His favorite flower is the rose, and he
invariably bites the stem four or five
inches below, so as to not injure the
flower. All his actions indicate that
he enjoys the perfume of the flowers,
and it rarely happens that he is not
seen with some choice flower in his
mouth. The only trouble is that he
culls from every garden he sees, and in
consequence has narrowly escaped be-
ing shot for his eesthetic taste.

salary of this inspector it seems rather
odd that the state board should demand
that he be discontinued. Yesterday the
local board discussed this feature and it
is my opinion that they will not discon-
tinue the inspector.”
“What will this result in?” asked the
reporter.
“Well, if the local board is driven out
of the state board, it will result in disor-
ganization in fire insurance business,
and this will no doubt precipitate a fight
in insurance circles, which will disor-
ganize rates. The ultimate result will
be that after rates are again settled, the
insured will have to pay for all the looses
in premiums made during the fight, and
further, it looks to me as if it will lead
to legislation, which will hamper insur-
ance companies in their business. Then
if the people find that they have a cause -----r - .
for protesting, the blame of all the pils a searching and inquiring spirit;, the oune young
trouble will be put on the state board.” love, of truth and the habit oj |
“Is there any line whereon the state
is divided into districts by insurance
men?”
“Yes; the 30th parallel of latitude.
North of the 30th parallel the business
has been a losing one. South of that
parallel it has made money for the in-
surance companies. One will see from
that which section of the state is paying
tfie highest rates. In the southern sec-
tion there are comparatively few total
losses In the northern section there are
very few partial losses. In the south-
ern section wherever there is a loss,
total or partial, the structure is almost
always rebuilt. In the northern Section
where there is a loss there is almost al-
ways no rebuilding. This is a fact.”
“Why is this do you think?”
“Because the owners , of the property
would rather have the insurance than
the buildings.”
“What do youthink of the rating of
the first-class cities of the state?”
“I think that Galveston is done a
gross injustice. Here we have the finest
fire department of any city of equal size
in this country, bar none. We have had
but two total losses in four years. There
is no other city in Texas which ap-
proaches that rat.e, and yet other cities
are put on the same footing with'us,
when those cities are deficient in fire
departments and water supplies. Some
of those same cities very rarely have a
partial loss, it being the rule that all fire
losses are total.
“As to the co-insurance fiasco at Louis-
ville recently, it was nothing more than
an adjourned meeting of the Texas state
board of fire underwriters. The home
offices and managers of the companies
who did not favor the co-insurance clause
as tendered to us did not think that
there would be an attempt to run it over
us, and so did not send representatives.
This clause was put before ‘the south-
eastern association by Mr. Gay and was
rejected. I am told by insurance men
who have recently been in north Texas
(hat the Galveston board has a repu-
tation there for being wild and woolly on
the co-insurance matter, and that this
city is a good place to steer clear of.”
“What action has the local board taken
in the matter of the discontinuance of
its inspector?”
“None, mo e than to discuss it without
any result being reached.”

A Process by Which Notes Can Be Taken
Down with. Great Rapidity.
While great Improvements have been
made in the last few years in short-
hand systems, and language can now
be transferred to paper with the rapid-
ity of speech, the writing of music is
still an occupation of exasperating te-
diousness. A musical shorthand has
often been suggested, and it is said
that certain musicians have devised for
themselves such a system, which has
served their purpose fairly well. But
any attempt to bring the speed of mu-
sical notation within even appreciable
distance of the rate of musical produc-
tion, either instrumental or vocal, has
always been looked upon as impossible.
It is difficult to imagine how it can
ever be otherwise, but hone the less are
those inventors who seek to increase
the facility of transferring to paper
musical ideas, either fresh from the
brain of the composer or from the ren-
dition of the artist, worthy of com-
mendation and gratitude. An attempt
in this direction has just been made in
the construction of a machine for type-
writing music, says the Fort Worth
Gazette. The machine looks like an
ordinary typewriting machine, after
which it is modeled, the frame, key,
levers, type, bars and carriage being
retained. Various modifications are
made so as to adapt the Instrument to
the change of notation, the carriage
being shifted endwise only for the dif-
ferent lines, octaves or notes, and the
paper is fed forward with each stroke
of the type. The machine is intended
either to be used with paper already
ruled or to write its own staff by re-
peating a five-lined character.

It was rumored yesterday that the
state board of fire underwriters had, in
effect, notified the Galveston board of
underwriters that hereafter the latter
organization would not be considered as
a part of the former. In other words,
that the local board had been summarily
bounced from the state board. Regard-
ing this rumor the local agents would say
nothing, but all the same, yesterday at
noon the local board held a meeting and
discussed the situation, the result of
which discussion was kept close.
Last night a Tribune reporter got hold
of a gentleman advised on the subject
and the following resulted: ------— -

Gratifying Results So Far—This Morn-
ing’s Work.
The sihool opened this morning with
a lecture by Dr. Cooper on “The Ele- I
ments of Governing Power.” He eaid
that a teacher should have natural apti-
tude; that be should have requisite]
scholarship; that he should possess skill I
in presenting subjects; that he should
have a love for children, will power,
keen sense, common sense and strong
moral character.
In Miss Thomas’ department the
greatest interest prevails. The class is
getting very large, and the teachers are
getting great good from the work.
The class in literature was conducted
by Mr. Richardson, and a general outline
of literature was given.
The work in rhetoric will be begun by
Mr. Barnett to-morrow.
Mr. Littlejohn, afier a trief review of
the course of study outlined yesterday,
took up the subject of maps. He em-
phasized their importance and asserted
that there can be no rational teaching of
geography without them. In the school-
room maps are chiefly useful in aiding
the pupils to fix in their minds the facts
leaaned. Teachers present had used
them to show the physical features of
rial growth of the United 1
the distribution of animals
plants, minerals, etc. A map should
have tharae'er, and pupils should be
taught to interpret the physiography of
a country from it It should show, ac-
cording to Dr. Redway, whether the
surface is level or mountainous; whether
the coast is rockbound, cliffgirt, or .bor-
dered by wave formed spits; whether
the climate is arid or humid; or whether
the rainfall is irregular or periodically
distributed.
Mr. Fendly, in the grammar section,
presented the following:
“The ends to be had in view in teach-
ing arithmetic:
“1. The practical utility of the sub-
ject.
“2. Its disciplinary value.
“These two ends should be kept

that does not serve one purpose or the There was no news there. Everyone
other should be rigidly excluded. We had been posted and everybody was
