The military band of the Fourth Mexi-
can cavalry arrived here this morning on
the Morgan line -steam -ship Morgan from
Brazos (Santiago. The band has 'been
loaned by the (Mexican government to the
fruit palace at ‘Tyler, and ’will leave for
that point this afternoon. 'This is the
same -band that played at the fruit pal-
ace last year,’but it has been strengthened
and enlarged. Senor Domingo Lopez,
lieutenant Fourth cavalry, is in charge,
while Mr. Woodhausen acts as inter-
preter. Albert ’Schuh, director of music
of the fruit palace, -came down to meet
the band here. An effort will be made to
have the 'band play in Galveston before
they return to Mexico.
The first step takenxby our government
in the direction of a coinage was in 1781,
when Robert Morris wtas intrusted with
the duty of investiga<ng the subject and

The trade dollamwas originally coined
for foreign use, particularly in our east-
ern tflade. It was; authorized by act of
congress, passed FeVruary 12, 1873, and
its coinage was begun .in 1874.
The belt is plainly made of the
lect light blue in preference ito the regular
over all color.
Shoes are made with pointed toes that
extend so far that it’s a wonder the wearer
does not fall over them. The fashion is
a very silly one, it makes the foot look
large, and unless the toe is well stuffed
the leather breaks so- that the shoe is
marred. When only just the little point
shows under the skirt the effect of a small
foot is given, but more often the whole
shoe shows and all proportion is lost. The
instep is sei too far back from- the appar-
ent end of the foot, losing all grace there-
by, and the length of the foot is made pre-
pos teirous. All women in these day’s wear
the low shoe, the high boot'being adopted
by those who think it looks well with an
outing gown, but -who- really don’t do an
outing. As a matter of fact, it is only in
trie low shoe 'that a woman has the free-
dom for the ankle that is essential, and be-
sides, it is the universally becoming. The
extremely high heel is not much worn.
But. many genererations of such 'wear has
credited the hollow instep that positively
demands a lift ait the heel and a snug un-
dercurve to- the shoe for comfort. In other
words, the shoe -that was once an offence
to the conformation of -the foot, is now
the shoe that fits. Dalphine.

Tunkhannock, Pa., July 2.—Whether
Sarah .Ann Angel is to receive a dower
right in the millions of the late Jay
Gould, whose widow she says she is, is
likely to be determined as a result of the
evidence adduced at the examination of
Rev. Nathan Leighton and his daughter,
which is being -conducted here today by
New York attorneys interested in the
case. Mr. Leighton, it is claimed by the
plaintiff, is the minister who at the little
village of Champlain, N. Y., in April,
1833, performed' the ceremony which
made her the wife of Jay Gould, then a
struggling surveyor. The minister is 85
years old, while his daughter is past 60,
and both ate fast ’becoming infirm and

Gladness Comes
IX/ith a better understanding' of the
V V transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is whv it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the feet, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep-

A SUIT OF CLOTHES
Found on -the Beach, but no Claimant Has
Appeared.
At an early hour this morning, at the
foot of 29th street, o-n the beach, Mounted
Officers Doherty and Jones found an en-
tire suit of men’s clothes. The clothes
were carefully piled on the beach, but
their owner was no where to foe seen. The
officers, after due search for the owner,
took the clothing to the police- station,
•where several people have caller and ex-
amined, but none have identified them.
In the outfit are a pair of well worn lace
Shoes, about N-o. 9, in which were tucked
a pair of brown socks with faded
blue garters attached; blue gray,
■ salt and pepper sack coat, black Stet-
son slouch hat, badly worn; two cot-
Stetson slouch hat, badly worn, two cot-
ton handkerchiefs with red and blue bor-
ders, black trousers, heavy ribbed cotton
undershirt, common cotton drawers and
faded blue and white striped shirt.
In a button hole -of the coat was an Al-
lison campaign button and in the pocket
was a Cosmopolitan bar Check, which
would indicate that the owner of the
clothes is a Republican and attended the
Austin convention. There were no papers
in the pocket by which the owner could
be identified.
The police Incline to the belief that the
man went in bathing in a nude condition,
and when he saw the officers capture his
clothes he took to his heels and escaped.
Each article was carefully laid on the
beach, the socks tucked in the shoes and
the whole in a position in which they
would hardly have been left by any -one
contemplating a more rash act than the
infringement of the bathing ordinances.
From later information it appears that
the clothes were discovered on the beach
early this morning by a party of seiners
and the -police did-not -happen along until
an hour or more later. So, the theory that

DENIM AND DUCK COMBINED.
For The Tribune.
For her who is cudgelling her brains in
search of an inexpensive' outing rig-, blue
denim is a valuable help. It makes up
very prettily, and -a stunning rig can be
made with a sailor blouse that goes on
over tine head, and a plain, rather short
skirt. Line with white duck and permit
a white duck piece to show ■where the
sailer collar turns a.way in front. With a
sailor man’s cap such a rig is as jaunty as
can be, and it goes into- the tub without
hurting. If your outing does not take you
to a spot where a sailor get up -will be har-
monious, then use the same materials in
the manner indicated by this picture.
Here-the denim is shaped in a jacket bod-
ice having a short ripple basque. Each
side is garnished with two horn buttons,
and the revers are double—of white: duck
and denim. The large s-ailor collar is
white duck, and the turned back cuffs are
edged, with white. White striped wash
silk -gives the blouse, which has a shirred

CAiPT. HlMRlBiIlS REPLI'E’S.
Defends the Legislative Ticket from At-
tacks of “‘Citizen.”
To The Tribune.
Galveston, Tex., July 2.—The campaign
prevaricator has commenced early. ”
der cover of the nom de plume of
zen” -one of them fires a shot at the legis-
lative ticket.
Falsehood No. 1—“Citizen” strongly
intimates that the -convention of Saturday
night -last was run by -saloon keepers, po-
licemen and bums, whereas the conven-
tion w-as as representative and respect-
able as any -body of men of equal numiber
that ever assembled in a convention here
or elsewhere. 'The doctor, merchant,
broker, lawyer, mechanic, unskilled la-
borer and the -saloon keeper were all
there, but no policeman or 'bum was
there as a delegate, and I defy “Citizen”
to show to the contrary. The'saloon men
who were there are some of our largest
tax payers, and are some of our most
useful citizens, neither of whom would
attack his most inveterate enemy from
behind the bush.
Falsehood No. 2—IHe says “a delegate
told him that nobody hustled for it but
Harris and Gil'bough, -and we could do
nothing but elect them.” 'The truth is
neither Gilbough nor Harris hustled for
it, nor did any delegate tell him they
did.
Falsehood No. 3—(He suggests that
“Capt. Harris has his eye on the charter
amendment and if he should he elected
woe unto that law.” This is not the truth.
What amendment does the ignorant
creature refer to? Has The Tribune a
correspondent so ignorant that he does
not know that the present city charter is
composed almost entirely of amendments ?
H-is ignorance is so dense that he fails to
understand that all amendments to the
city -charter must be petitioned for by
three or more citizens before any repre-
sentative can present them to the legis-
lature, and il 'will say right here if this
legislative ticket is elected all such peti-
tions will have due and proper considera-
tion, and the wishes of the people car-
ried out to the very best of the ability of
Galveston county’s representatives.
Falsehood No. 4—(He says: “It is hard
to tell what interest Capt. Harris repre-
sents,” when he now-s that Capt. Harris
is the nominee of the Democratic party
in convention assembled, 'but if elected
will represent in the legisltaure every
citizen of Galveston county fairly and
alike.
His fling at Gil'bough must be owing to
his ignorance of the character of the
man. To tho-se who know him he needs
no defense from the attacks of any an-
onymous scribbler who displays as much
ignorance to the square inch as does
“(Citizen.”
Now, let “Citizen” come out and tell his
name and let the people know who he is,
how long he has lived here, what good he
has ever done to 'Galveston, what interest
he represents, whether he is a bar keeper,
a policeman or a bum, and what he is
hustling for at the present time. Is it a
seat in the 'legislature or Fred iGilbough’s
job in the Santa Fe land office?' And
don’t fail to remember. 'Mr. “Citizen,”
that while you applaud -the nomination of
your friend, Col. Gresham, so heartily
that the same men who nominted him
nominated both Gilbough and Harris.
While you approve so boasti-ngly -the
hustling qualities of Col. Gresham and
his friends, don’t be so quick to condemn
a little effort on the part of other people.
Respectfully", P. N. Harris.

GOLD MINES OF GUIANA.
No One Knows Whether There Are Any
in 'the Disputed Territory.
W. -Nephew King in Century.
There are- today in what is probably in-
disputable British territory, placer gold
washings of value. Here an industrious
man, if successful, can make a handsome
day’s 'Wages by his labor, but nothing
more. The formation is known as pocket
gold; in other words, the action of ihe
water bias brought from some place gold,
which h-ais collected in pockets, so that
■when one of these is found the finder is
well rewarded for his- labor. But as yet
in no place has sufficiently extensive de-
posits of gold been found to w-arrant the
construction of the necessary rvorks and
the employment of hydraulic machines
for use in obtaining the gold. This, there-
fore, prevents the entering of capital, the
forniiaition of large interests, and -the pro-
duction of gold in muieh quantity.
The Cuiffo mine, which is the one
exception began with a capitalization
of $60,000, of which a portion represented
the concession and the land. For four
yeans it wa-s operated without yielding
dividends, while in the next period of
20 years it distributed $15,000,000 in divi-
dends, and the same amount of stock. Aft-
er that period, so- far as I am aware, no
authentic information exists. Now, how-
ever, it is believed thnit the mine is
worked -out. Apparently the pocketing
formation also-ai.penned in this lode; for
the -story is told -that the lode ended one
day, 'and no- man could say 'whither it
went. It did not run out; it -simply
stopped. One theory is that an earth-
quake disturbance caused a break, the
lost portion being either lifted- up or low-
ered down or moved sidewise- so that it
cannot be told where it is. Therefore, in
the disputed territory, there may or may
not be valuable gold fields. No- one really
knows.
