Those of us who are always hurried and
harried in our Christmas work would do
well to run the risk of being smiled at for
our overzeal, and begin at this early date
to prepare the holiday gifts, many of
which we must fashion with our busy
hands. Surely the list of persons whom
we wish to remember can be made out
quite as well now as a month hence.
We may work leisurely and take ample
time in selecting the gifts we do not make
ourselves. When the blessed Yuletide
comes it brings with it many duties which
must be performed, and which demand
time for_ their performance. Who of us
does not remember with disagreeable dis-
tinctness the list of purchases that in
times past had to be made during the last
week before Christmas, the crowded shops
where one must wait with hardly acquired
patience for the overworked shopgirls’ at-
tentions? Who of us has not had numer-
ous last stitches to put in this or that
love-token, and has not sat up late into
the night to set these same necessary
stitches?
Now is the time when we may fill in the
odd minutes with the needlework that
later would press upon us. Surely, we will
enter more fully into the spirit of Christ-
mas if through the weeks that must inter-
vene between now and the holidays we
are, as opportunity affords, making prepa.
rations for the blessed festival.

The Street Car Company Receives a Large
Shipment.
During the past week the Galveston
City street railway has received 300 tons
of new steel rails. The rails were bought
in Pennsylvania and the shipment came
via the 'Mallory' line from New York to
Galveston.
In conversation with a Tribune reporter
Maj. Baer, the receiver of the street rail-
way, said thp!?wpi’k of putting down the
new rails would begin today or tomorrow.
The new rails,.will be laid on Center and
33d streets, beginning at Postoffice and
Center and continuing right around as far
as the supply will go. The amount re-
ceived will' lay about three miles of new
track. The new rails are 60-pound steel,
the heaviest that have ever been used in
Galveston for street railway purposes.
With this improvement, together with a
number of new cars, Maj. Baer hopes to
give the Galveston public a better street
car service than they have ever enjoyed
before.

Somethlne About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.
■ The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister, residing in Weedsport, Cayuga
county, N. Y., in a. recent letter writes as
follows: “There has never been anything
that I have taken that .has relieved the
Dyspepsia from which I have suffered for
10 years except the new remedy called
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking
them I have had no distress at all after
eating and again after long years can
sleep well.” Rev. F. I. Bell, Weedsport,
N. Y., formerly, Idalia, Colo.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is a remark-
able remedy, not only because it is a cer-
tain cure for all forms of indigestion, but
because it seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as
mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness.
A person'has dyspepsia, simply, because
the stomach is overworked; all it wants
is a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give it the much needed
rest.
This is the secret of the success, of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or
how much disordered the digestion may
be, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or
not. New life and energy is given not only
to the stomach, but to every organ and
nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid
medicine will convince the most skeptical
that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles
can be cured. The tablets are prepared
by the F. A. Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich.,
but so popular has the remedy become that
Stuart’s Dyspepsia 'Tablets can now be
obtained at any drug store' at 50 cents per
paekage. Send for book on stomach dis-
eases free.
General Manager Polk will place a pri-
vate car at the disposal of those making
the trip.

Manitowoc, Wis.—Ernst Messmahn, who

jail at Manitowoc for safe keeping, was
today found dead in his cell, having taken
his own life by hanging. Before taking
his life Messmann made a full confession
to the sheriff of the atrocious crime, which
tallied with the theory as given at the
time of his arrest. It is believed that he

“JUBILEE” HONEYMOONS.
New York-Mail and Express.
Pennsylvania did a big business In mar-
riage licenses during jubilee week. The
idea seemed to strike rural sweethearts
that Philadelphia at that time would be
just the -place in which to spend their
honeymoon. Even the city Itself felt the
boom, for 125 marriage licenses were is-
sued at the city hall in one day and the
total for the week was abnormally large.
Many of these couples were verdant in
the extreme, and people on the lookout for
funny incidents ran across plenty of them.
One couple who came to town spent the
whole day seeing the sights and viewed
the naval parade in the afternoon from
one of the river front wharves. In the
evening while dining at their boarding
house the husband proposed that they go
to the theater, whereat the landlady face-
tiously remarked that under the circum-
stances it would be quite the proper thing
to get a box and see the play in a manner
befitting the honeymoon occasion. The
bride had very vague ideas about a thea-
ter, having never seen a play except in
the town hall of her native place.
“No, indeed,” she promptly responded.
“I don’t propose to have any more boxes.
We hired a box to stand oh to see the pa-
rade this afternoon and it fell down with
us. If we ge. to the theater, I propose to
have a seat toi sit down in, so that I can
be comfortable.”
Another young bride from a wayback
town who, being a strict Methodist, had
never been inside a theater in her life,
was persuaded by her husband after much
coaxing to attend a play running at a
well known house, the second ■ act of
which ended with a ballet. He knew noth-
ing more of the style of the play -than she
did. Everything went smoothly for the
first act, and they were both entranced
with actors and play; but the second act
was a delusion and a snare. During the
ballet the bride sat with staring eyes and
ashen cheeks, the picture of mortification
and despair, and when the curtain rang
down and men all over the house began
making a bee line for the exits she grasped
her husband’s arm and exclaimed:
“Let’s go too, John. You see, even the
men are ashamed to stay.”

Locked Up in a Ghostly Cathedral He
Rung the Bell.
The unique collection of rubbings of
English and foreign monumental brasses
and incised, slabs which was - formed by
the late Rev. William’ Frederic Creeny
has been bequeathed by the collector to
the British museum. The reverend gen-
tleman, whose labors in the field of Chris-
tian archaeology caused him to travel
over a large part of Europe, was the au-
thor of a magnificent work dealing with
monumental brasses in continental cities,
which was published about 14 years ago.
The enthusiasm of this collector, as,
stretched out at full length in the aisle
of some sacred edifice, he solenmnly pro-
ceeded with the operation of rubbing, was
not always intelligible to- the ordinary
wayfarer. It is not surprising, therefore,
that he had many refreshing stories to
tell of the troubles which beset-him while
in pursuit of his favorable hobby. For
instance, on one occasion, after working
for the greater part of the day in Pader-
born cathedral, he discovered to his hor-
ror that he had been locked in. Just as
he had exhausted ail apparent means of
escape the worthy cleric, espied a bell rope,
which he pulled with the vigor of a ship-
wrecked mariner who has at last attract-
ed the notice of a passing craft. The ef-
fect was electrical, although scarcely less
terrifying to the frightened villagers than
the antics of Gaspard the Miser in the

ment during the evening.
Texas has a new industry added to her
resources. She already produces a third
of the cotton grown in the United States;-
she turns out as fine pine lumber as comes
from, the woods of Michigan, and the
wheat and corn and stock grown here ex-
cite the envy and admiration of northern
states. This time it is the oil business
that has comA to the front.
C. M. Rice, general manager of the Gulf
coast refining company, located at Sour
Lake, Tex., was-here yesterday with , the
first line of’ samples turned out by their
machinery. The refinery is now complete
and has been in successful operation a.
short time. In speaking of the work over
there, Mr. Rice said: “The development of
the oil business in Texas has been a hard
struggle. Our company was organized in
January, but it was April before the erec-
tion of a plaijt commenced. All the time
we had to meet the statement of com-
petitors that Texas oil could not be re-
fined. When the plant was completed
and ready for operation, I went north to
secure the necessary help and out of a
number of, practical refiners whom I
brought s6uth there was but one man who
seemed, .to understand the nature of the
Sour Lake oils and was able to produce
results." He .was retained and after a lapse
of tiwee days preliminary work the plant
was started. We are now turning out re-
fined' oil at thebaic of a car load or 50
barrels a-day. The plant covers five acres
of land and employs quite a number of
people.
“In 1897 Texas produced 65,000 barrels of
crude-oil. Most of this came from the
Corsicana wells. None of it was refined,
but was stored and the Houston and Tex-
as Central railroad is now using some of
it for fuel. In a'crude state the Sour Lake
product is known as 16-gravity oil. It 13
heavier than any other known oil and is
freer from adulteration. I estimate the
product from Texas wells this year to be
not less than 650,000 barrels.”
The samples carried by Mr. Rice appear
to be of the finest grade. They are light
in color, free from sediment and thin, but
the specific gravity is such as to give to
them the very best of results. All grades
of lubricating oil are made, but none at
all is produced for burning purposes. The
i efinery has no connection with the wells.
The Gulf coast refining company is a
Galveston concern. It is composed entire-
ly of Galveston business men with the
single exception of General Manager Rice.
Charles H. Moore is president of the com-
pany and Sahl Penland is secretary and
treasurer. It numbers among its stock-
holders L.“ J. Polk, John E. Baily and
others equally well known.

A DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT.
The 10th congressional district is nor-
mally Democratic. Two years ago free
silver split the party up the back and the
result is a Republican congressman, re-
elected. Eliminate the silver question and
a sound money Democrat can be elected
from any part of the district if he is a
good man. It will be well to get the Dem-
ocrats of the 10th district together on this
matter. In no way in the world can it be
so well and judiciously done as over ’Gal-
veston beer. That brew is the brew of
the 10th district. It’s a Democratic beer.
It’s honest. It is capable—capable of mak-
ing a dyspeptic recover his health, get
rid of his cussedness and become a good
citizen, and vote the Democratic ticket
from top to botton just as he should do.
Try it.
They Are Still Detained at Quarantine in
Louisiana.
The lower Louisiana quarantine station
is overrun with goats as the result of the
late yellow fever scare in the south, and
the many quaran-tihes that have come
from it, says the NeW York Sun. Never,
perhaps, have goat's-'had a more remark-
able experience than these. They have
traveled several thousand miles in the last
few months, and have been rejected, re-
pudiated and banished at every point to
which they havei'gqne, until finally the
entire lot was landed on the narrow spit
of land where the; quarantine station i.s lo-
cated, and where ;there is scarcely vegeta-
tion enough for abkid, much less for 1600
goats. '
An enterprising-lTexan conceived the
idea some months ago that the hungry
people of Havana;, and especially the re-
concentrados, who, according to all ac-
counts, had' not had 'meat to eat since the
war and the blockade, began, would wel-
come goat meat, ijhthey could not get beef
and mutton, and. agqats being cheap, he
bought up a shipload, of them in western
Texas and sent them to Galveston for
shipment to Cuba.
When the cargo reached Havana,’-on the
Danish steamer Tyr, it was found that
there was no provision for a duty on goats
in the Hispano-Cub'an tariff, and Gov.
Gen. Blanco invented a special duty for
this importation and piled it on so that
the goats could not be landed in Havana
except at a heavy loss to the owner. The
entire lot, therefore, after making the trip
to Havana, and spending several days in
its yellow fever harbor, came back to New
Orleans.
New Orleans, however, refused the ani-
mals, as Cuba had done, but for an en-
tirely different reason. Yellow fever was
prevalent in the Cuban city, it was said,
and the goats might bring in the germs, it
was thought. They could only be admit-
ted to the city after undergoing a thor-
ough disinfection.
When it came to disinfecting t'he animals
it was found dangerous, if not impossible.
There is no provision for disinfecting ani-
mals, for animals have never before been
imported from yellow fever countries, and
the owner of the goats objected to .sul-
phurizing them, fearing that it would kill
them.
Accordingly, it was deemed best to land
the animals at the quarantine station,
where they could stay until all danger
from the germs was over. Unfortunately,
since then the fever has made its appear-
ance in New Orleans. Texas refuses to
accept the goats or anything else from
that city, on any terms. Mississippi and
Alabama will receive them, but only on
the condition that they shall be disinfected
according to the Atlanta agreement,
which brings back the original difficulty
that you can not disinfect goats.
The consequence is that the goats can
not be moved. There is no place where
they can go. Havana, New Orleans, Texas
and the entire south rejected them, and
they seem destined to remain quarantine
•prisoners until the ice is seen—and that is
about Christmas time.

Quartette Society.
The Tribune publishes herewith a more
elaborate review of the Gajveston quar-
tette society’s opening musicale last Fri-
day night.
From the moment the society appeared
on the stage until the last tone in Dudley
Buck’s “Good Night” the large audience
in Cathedral hall was at the highest pitch
of expectancy and delight.
As usual, the entertainment began on
time, and one thing was noticeable and
appreciated by the audience, that just
as soon as Mr. Gareissen appeared, who
was received with liberal applause, the
society began its initial number without ■
any drumming on the piano for the
“tone,” no one knew where they got the.
tone, but they had it and held it beau-
tifully through the entire number. The
first song, “My Dearest Heart,” was well
rendered, showing a splendid attack of
the first tone and their diction unusually
good, but the number which pleased the
audience most, and which tended to show
the beautiful pianissimo' as well as the
fortissimo abilities of the society, was
the “Wandering Singers’ Patrol.” While
at times this number was delicate and
dainty, at the climax it was simply ter-
rific—the pipe organ was certainly well
imitated. In fact, all the numbers of the
society were well rendered and the artis-
tic work of Mr. Gareissen was' shown
throughout the conception and rendition
thereof. The city of Galveston, as well as
the society, has come to feel proud of this
young man, a native, the organizer of the
society and a leader par. excellence.
The attraction engaged for this musicale
•was Mrs. Emmy Gareissen-Pease of New
York, but how very proud Galveston can
feel—she is a Galveston girl, born here,
and even though by reason of profession-
al engagements kept away from her old
home, still loves the Oleander city and
her numerous friends here. Mrs. Pease
possesses a real contralto voice with a
range of over two octaves, and the quality
of a contralto voice is preserved through-
out her entire compass. There is not the
slightest indication of a mezzo-soprano
quality, even in the highest register, and
her high A flat is sung with a breadth and
power that is truly remarkable. We have
a great many artists in this country who
pose as contraltos, but who have no right
lo be classified with them, as they are pure-
ly mezzo-sopranos with the tones in the
lower register somewhat developed. Con-
sequently, Friday night the audience
heard something we seldom have here^—a
real rich, beautiful, glorious contralto voice
handled in a most artistic manner. It is
the belief of some critics that Mrs. Pease
is to become the greatest contralto on' the
American stage. In the east, she is being
recognized as such gradually. It is diffi-
cult to particularize as to which song
pleased the most, but the “Autumnal
Gale,”, by Grieg, was one of the most
dramatic renditions we have ever heard;
“In Questa Tomba,” by Beethoven, was
rendered most artistically, and “Three
Roses Red,” by Norris, was beautifully
pathetic.

Song,” from Robin Hood, he showed him-
self an artist. After singing his second
numbers, “Ah! ’Tis a Dream” and “King
Duncan’s Daughters,” he was again re-
called and captivated the audience by
singing in a masterful style the “Two
Grenadiers.” It was remarked his diction
was very fine.
Taken as a whole, and the reporter
questioned many of the audience after the
musicale, this was one of the most artis-
tics musicales ever given by the society.
Galveston had just cause to be proud
of this organization, and it is a pity that
the people of the north and east have not
had an opportunity to hear them sing.
The society is already well and favorably
known in the north, and if it could start
out next spring and give concerts in St.
Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Buf-
falo, New York, Washington, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Boston it “would ad-
vertise this city more effectively than
could be done in any other way. There
has been some talk among the members
of the city relative to the feasibrlty of
making such a tour and it has been inti-
mated that the artists of Friday evening
would gladly make the trip for the sake
of auld lange syne.
Miss Dora Velesca Becker, the talented
violiniste, who will appear with the soci-
ety at their next musicale, is also a native
of this city, and if these three artists
would accompany the society on this pro-
posed tour a varied and fine program
could be presented. Just think of the im-
pression this would make on the people of
the north. It would remove a great many
prejudices as to the culture and refine-
ment of the peoplq of our city and state
and the novelty of the thing would be
unique. Let the public think this over.

“THE SCHOOL FOR .SCANDAL.”
Apropos of the coming engagement in
this city of the great star triumvirate—
Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and Freder-
ick Warde—and the costly and elaborate
scenic embellishments which the organi-
zation carry for their plays, brings to mind
.a recent article by Ouida on “The actor in
relation to his stage surroundings:” “The
actor,” says the distinguished novelist, “is
seldom, perhaps never, wholly a free
agent; he is not for a moment able to dis-
pense with support, if he could even dis-
pense with costumes and scenery. Per-
sonally I .should have equal pleasure in
seeing Irving’s ‘King Lear’ or Mounet-
Sully’s ‘Orestes’ if they were acting in a
bare barn with sign posts to indicate the
scene, lit by some pale oil wicks, as in
seeing them at the Lyceum or Francaise;
but theater goers in general must have
the actor environed by scenic effects, and
if we could dispense with these effects, we
can not, to enjoy a fine play, dispense with
excellence in all actors. Irving knows this
well, since he is always heedful to environ
■himself with his own scenery and play
with his own special conTpahy.”
Wagenhals & Kemper, the progressive
young managers of the James-Kidder-
Warde combination, are great believers in
special scenery, appropriate costuming
and the best supporting company obtain-
able, all of which will be apparent on
Friday evening next when this splendid
organization will present “The School for
Scandal” at the Grand opera house. These
young managers not only brought togeth-
er the greatest legitimate organization
since the Booth and Barret days, but they
have provided them with the handsomest
stage settings and costumes ever devised.
Every detail is carried by the company.
The cost of this one production is said, to
have exceeded over $11,000.
The Well Kept Vow of a Prisoner in the
Colifornia State Prison.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Edward J. Cunningham was released
from San Quentin yesterday, after serving
a sentence of six years for- burglary com-
mitted in Orange county, and with his lib-
eration there passed from the prison walls
one of the strangest characters that ever
wore the striped garb of the penitentiary.
When Cunningham was landed within
the walls of San Quentin prison he turned
to the sheriff who had conducted him hith-
er from the southern part of the state, and
swore a heavily solemn oath-that no word
would escape his lips during the period of
his Incarceration. Cunningham stood by
his oath through the long, weary years of
his sentence and his tongue never loosend
until he stepped without the prison walls
yesterday a free man.
Whenever it became necessary for Cun-
ningham to communicate his needs or
wants to others, he did so in writing or
by “notions.” After being confined in the
prison a short time he was thought to be
insane and was sent to the Ukiah asylum.
Here he was confined but a short time, for
it was soon ascertained he was in his right
mind and merely acting in a stuborn
manner. Word was sent to the prison of-
ficials and Guard Miller was sent to the
asylum to bring the prisoner back. When
near Santa Rosa he jumped through a car
window, but was captured after a hard
chase. After his return, lie still preserved
an inviolable silence, and was put into
what is known as crank alley. Here all
kinds of influence were brought to bear
upon him to cause him to speak, but with-
out avail. He also refused to have his
hair cut, and when released yesterday
morning his hair was measured and was
found to be 54 inches in length.
When relieved of his prison garb a smile
overspread his countenance. Several peo-
ple spoke to him, but he only grinned.
Once outside the prison gate Cunningham
made up for lost time. He condemned
everyone around the prison for his con-
finement. When asked how he managed
to control himself and preserve an un-
brokea silence for so many years, he an-
grily replied that he had nd explanation to
make.

The Galveston athletic club is blossom-
ing with some new attractions.— Jim Scan-
lan of Pittsburg, who made such a fine
showing against Australian Jimmy Ryan,
has been engaged as assistant instructor
during the month of November. Jack
Fogarty, formerly of St. Louis, but now of
this city, is also under engagement for
this month. The two men have agreed to
give a 20-round. exhibition at the club
rooms on the night of Monday, Nov. 28.
The club dues have been reduced to $1 per
month.
Everybody hereabouts knows how clever
Scanlan is. Fogarty comes well recom-
mended and is sure to give a good account
The young men will give in-
structions each day to members of the
club.
The star event of all, however, will be
given in the first week of January,
rangements have been made with Joe
Choynski for the month of January and
in the first week of the new year he and
Jim Hall will meet in a 2a-round exhibi-
tion. This should be a corker. Choynski
and Hall are as scientific as any men in
America. They are well matched, both
being light heavy weights. Both of them
have met the best men in the world and
they know every point in the art of box-
ing.
Hall has secured training quarters at
Teichman’s, down the island, and he will
begin at once the work of putting himself
in the best condition possible.
Choynski has been here and needs- no
introduction to the sport-loving people of
Galveston. He is one of the greatest of
the modern school of athletes.

NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS.
The woman who is lovely in face, form
and temper will always have friends, but
one who would be attractive must keep
her health. If she is weak, sickly and all
run down, she will be nervous and irrita-
ble. If she has constipation or kidney
trouble, her impure blood will cause pim-
ples, blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is
the best medicine in the world to regu-
late stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. It gives strong nerves,
bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich,
complexion. It will make a good looking,
charming woman of a run down invalid.

The Rockport Tarpon Lodge a Thing of
Great Beauty.
Frank Bulgin,' a Fort Worth plumber, is
in the city today on hi® way from Rock-
port home. He has been engaged on the
plumbing of E. H. R. Green’s new club
house down by the sea, and is very enthu-
siastic in his admiration of the big rail-
road man’s undertaking.
Mr. Bulgin says Mr. Green’s Rockport
tarpon club house is going to be the best
appointed building of the kind anywhere
in the country. 'The plumbing and sani-
tary arrangements will be perfect, with
water works, electric lights and all the
modern conveniences that contribute to
comfort and luxury. The original idea
was to spend about $35,000 on the building,
but Mr. Bulgin says he thinks the cost will
not fall far below $50,000 when everything
is completed.
President Green’s tarpon club house is
already well advertised, but when it is
completed and the big eastern sports who
are interested come here, the advertising
Texas has given it will turn the other
way. The. Rockport club house will bring
people to Texas who have never been here
before. Their coming can not but be of
benefit to all concerned.
The -Chioago News say's: “As pretty and
saucy a launch as ever slid from the
ways has been in course of construction in
Chicago during the last two months for
Edward H. R. Green. He is a well known
New Yorker, president of the Texas Mid-
land railroad and son of Mrs.-'Hetty Green,
reputed to be the richest woman in Ameri-
ca. The boat is intended for use between
the landing at Rockport, Tex., and a new
club house being built on Musiang island,
a celebrated fishing and shooting resort,
which is renowned for its tarpon fishing.”
TONIGHT.
The Hettie Bernard Chase company ar-
rived yesterday and will open a four
nights’ engagement this evening with the
produeffbn of “Under Two Flags,” at
popular prices.
The Memphis Appeal says erf this com-
pany: “From the moment the curtain rose
Hettie Bernard Chase sprang into popular
favor. Her acting is. natural, she never
strains for effect. She is really a sou-
brette of the. old time school. ..She is no
lopger a stranger , in .Memp’his. She will
in future be accorded a hearty welcome.”
Not long ago China and Japan went to war. China had ten men
and five dollars to Japan’s one man and one dollar. Yet Japan won an
overwhelming victory. \
China fought its enemies in an old-fashioned way. The result was
failure. Japanese bullets went through the back-number defenses and
found the silly Chinamen behind them. It isn’t a question of quantity
of men and dollars, but progressive methods and up-to-date equipment.
Thejate war with Spain shows this clearly.
So it is with Footwear. It’s not always a question of price,
but of quality, and of getting your money’s worth. Are you fixed for the
bad weather man with dry weather footwear? Don’t blame us, as we
can suit any purse and any fancy.
