New York, Feb. 17.—At a fancy ball giv-
en in Dublin by Lord Grenville, the duch-
ess of Marlborough narrowly escaped a
perilous accident, according to an Ameri-
can dispatch from London.
A burning cigarette, which had been
dropped upon the floor, came in contact
with the duchess’ fluffy tulle skirt, and
in a moment her clothing was in flames.
Viscount Crichton tore off his coat and
smothered the flames, so that the duchess
was not even scorched.
A communication was read from City
Engineer Wells relative to an extension
of the sewers through the alley between
Broadway and Avenue K, from Tremont
to Seventeenth streets. The communica-
tion was favorably considered and a mo-
tion carried to give the water works and
sewerage department authority to pur-
chase two carloads of pipe at a cost not
to exceed $442.50.

Mr. Depew Would Punish Men Who “Set
’Em Up” in Saloons.
Jefferson City, Feb. 16.—The present
legislature, while it has worker harder
and accomplished more than almost any
other like body in several years, has also
an unenviable record of having introduced
and wasted considerable time on freak
bills. The very latest of these measures
us Depew’s bill to punish anyone who goes
into a barroom and “treats’” a friend. The
punishment is just the same for “setting
up” a bottle of sparkling Burgundy as’ for
a piebian who buys a refreshing glass of
beer. To ask a friend to “have some-
thing” may cost from $10 to $50 as a fine,
or cause the generous on to spend from
three to thirty days in jail.

STARTLING BUT TRUE.
People the world over were horrified on
learning of the burning of a Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred peopla
lost their lives, yet more than five times
that number or over 3000 people died from
penumonia in Chicago during the same
year, witli scarcely a passing notice.
Every one of these cases of pneumonia
resulted from a cold and could have been
precented by the timely use of Chamber-
lairds Cough Remedy. A great many who
had every reason to fear pneumonia have
warded it off by the prompt use of this
remedy. The following is an instance of
this sort: “Too much can not be said in
favor of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,
and especially for colds and influenza. I
know that it cured my daughter, Laura,
of a severe cold, and I believe saved her
life when she was threatened with , pneu-
monia.”-, W.< D. Wilcox, Logan, New York,

The committee in charge of matters
pertaining to the controversy between the
city of. Galveston and the Galveston
Wharf company, involving the rights of
the-eity in the property of said company,
and the question of the apportionment of
dividends to which the city may be en-
titled from said company, reported that
they believe all matters of difference and
controversy, and all pending suits be-
tween the city and the wharf company,
may be finally compromised and ad-
justed.
The report was of considerable length
and closed with the following paragraph:
In view of the uncertainties of litiga-
tion, and the decision of the supreme
court of this state in the suit brought by
the Galveston Wharf company against
the City of Galveston, reported in Volume
63, Texas' .Supreme Court Reports, we be-
lieve such a settlement as that indicated
will be fair and equitable to the city of
Galveston,’ and we recommend that a
proper agreement or agreements be pre-
pared for execution by the city and the
wharf company, by which said settle-
ment and adjustment may be carried into
effect.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM T. AUSTIN,
I. H. KEMPNER,
M. E. KLEBERG,
Committee.
Mayor Austin—At a previous time the
committee submitted the matter to the
board, and it was also submitted to Mr.
Davidson, and he told me he heartily ap-
proved it, as is recited in that report, and
he further authorized his indorsement ap-
plied to it. He was employed by the city
as special counsel and the matter was
submitted to him.
Commissioner Kempner—While this mat-
ter has been discussed in committees for
.six months and submitted to conferences,
yet the public is not posted, and I move
that action upon it be deferred until the
next regular meeting of the board.

If Senate Does Not Pass Esch-Townsend
Freight Rate Bill.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 16. Representa-
tive Townsend of Michigan, one of the
authors of the Esch-Townsend freight
rate bill, had a talk with the president
today regarding prospects for the enact-
ment of the measure into laws.
Mr. Townsend, who has canvassed the
situation pretty thoroughly, expresses th®
opinion that there was a chance for the
passage of the bill by the senate at the
present session after his talk with the
president.
Mr. Townsend said that in Lhe event
of no legislation on the question is atced
on this session, an extraordinary session
of congress would be called by President
Roosevelt for next autumn, perhaps in
Octobei.

“Go away and don’t bother me. Maybe
coffee is causing all my ails but I just
don’t see how I can give it up.”
That is the pitiful wail of a despairing
coffee slave and yet there is.an easy and
sure way out of the slavery.
“I knew coffee was the cause of all my
trouble,” confesses an Indianapolis wo-
man, “But I just couldn’t give it up. I
used to try but every time went back to
coffee until finally my nervous system
was in such condition 1 that a single cup
of coffee was sufficient to throw me into
a state bordering . on hysterics.' I had
generally two terrific sick headaches
every week and was simply a wreck
of nerves. . .
“Finally I was induced to try Posfum
but at the first trial it was &o thin and
weak I knew something must be the
matter, so I read the -directions over
again and found it is not- made like cof-
fee but must have 15 minutes at least for
steady boiling. So I tried again and the
result was a deep, rich-colored, perfectly
delicious drink that weaned me from my
coffee without any regrets-.
“The Postum took coffee's place so
completely that before we realized it we
had forgotten coffee ever existed and all
the time I was improving rapidly, from
the very time I began the Postum.
“To put it briefly the improvement
continued until I am again a well woman.
“Although I drank the Postum and got
so well, my husband couldn’t be induced
to drink it for he thought I was one of
the people coffee hurt and he wasn’t.
But about six weeks ago he had an at-
tack of kidney trouble and first thing the
doctor told him was to quit coffee. Then
for the first time he tasted the Postum
and he was surprised and delighted. He
has drank it ever since and his attack of
kidney trouble is gone and this morning
he made me feel proud by saying the
Postum was the best coffee he ever drank.
Now all of our children drink it, too.
“I make our morning Postum on the
after-supper fire the night before and a
light boiling in the morning brings it to
perfection and in this way it takes no
longer to make in the morning than cof-
fee did. It doesn’t taste stale like coffee
does, the flavor is really improved.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Auditor Ferrier asked for authority to
make certain changes or transfers of
funds on his books, which would straight-
en out the accounts as per previous order
of the board, and the authority was
given.
Repudiates French and English Claims,
Alleging Faith Was Abused.
City of Mexico, Feb. 17.—The govern-
ment of Honduras has issued an official
statement, in pamphlet form, repudiating
the claims of English and French credi-
tors of the republic.
It is declared that Honduras was made
the victim of a “railroad-building dream;”
that the faith of the government was
woefully abused, and that the money
•which the English and French govern-
ments are now seeking to recover went
to enrich foreign swindlers. “In strict
justice,” it is stated, “Honduras owes
nothing to foreigners.” The statement
covers 100 pages.
try is growing apace in these states, soil,
climate and other conditions having
proven to be very favorable io raising
theis sacharine root.
J>y tins it is seen that the cargoes are
largely miscellaneous and that Galveston
is used as a port of entry for almost
every section west of the Mississippi
river. Other cargoes have contained even
a greater variety of merchandise but
this manifest is taken to show something
of the things and places represented on a
'document of this kind.
Com. Lange made a statement, in sub-
stances as follows:
The water suppy of the city is
running pretty low at the present time.
Yesterday the pressure ran down to 35,
30, and then to 20 pounds. It was at first
supposed that this was caused by the
numerous breaks in the pipes in the city,
but these were repaired and it is still
found to be at about 25 pounds. Now, 1
■have instructed the inspector at Alta
Loma to make a thorough inspection of
the main from the upper end. to the bay
shore. The superintendent of the station
has already made a thorough inspection
from the station to the bay shore. He
found no leaks of any consequence. I
will hear from Mr. Stobart tomorrow.
NoWj. if he does not report some serious
break somewhere on the ‘ mainland, the
trouble may be in the submerged main.
A communication from Chief Gernand
regarding the necessity for crossing for
his apparatus over or through the grade
raising contractor’s pipes was referred to
Com. Norman and Chief Gernand to con-
fer with Mr. Goedhart.
The first matter to have the atention
of the board was a communication from
the grade raising board and one from the
grade raising contractors, relative to the
contractors taking $33,000 worth of the
grade raising bonds.
After the communications were read
Mayor Austin made the following state-
ment of the matter at the request of
Com. Lange:
Since the first formal communication to
this board came from Goedhart & Bates
and was referred to the committeee, I
have had some interviews with reference
to the matter and it seefs to have been
a question Of delivering thirty-three bonds
to them as soon as we could arrange to
do it. If the city will let them have the
bonds they agree to enter Into a supple-
mental contract whereby they will take
all city bonds for payment of grade rais-
ing. in tiie original agreement they
agreed to trike only such bonds as they
could buy a 87.1-2, .and now the element
of uncertainty, is .eliminated and they
agree to tal^e all .bonds at par and in the
contract w'e^ stated, we were willing to
give them, and: we^qre now asked to de-
liver. It Was furt^ieE agreed that the city
had the right to pay in cash $450,000 prior
to the delivery of the thirty-three bonds
before any ffurther delivery of bonds
would be made on the contract until
series B is dxhaustdd.
Com. LangA—Series B is
isn’t it? s i-:'.
Mayor Austin—Yesy’and the thirty-three
$1000 bonds cbme out: of that amount. We
are to get credit for them out of the next
three estimates. Each deduction from the
next three estimates will be for $11,000 un-
til series B is completed. This1 agree-
ment will supercede the report of the
committee. I plight state that the sup-
plemental contract can be entered into as
soon as Mr. Goedhart has received au-
thority to sign it.
Com. Kempner—I move that the city
■■’ J- -. ■ : .
treasurer be instructed to forward to the
controller at Austin, with the usual safe-
guards, series B of the grade raising
bonds for approval by the attorney gen-
eral and for registration by the con-
troller, and that when so approved and
registered and returned to the city treas-
urer, thirty-three bonds at $33,000, face
value, be delivered to Messrs. Goedhart
& Bates, the same being sold to them at
par. to be paid for in accordance with.’and
in the manner set- forth in their communi-
cation filed with this board. These bonds
are to be delivered in consideration of
the execution by Goedhart & Bates of
a supplementary contract, referred to in
their communication, and that the mat-
ter of the payment in cash and bonds, as
stated in their communication, be made
a part of said contract,
Carried.
Chicago. Feb. 17.—While no immediate
official changes of importance on the
Santa Fe are expected as a result of the
change in financial control, the belief
is general in railway circles that before
many months E. P. Ripley will retire as
president," and will be succeeded by some
man selected by E. H. Harriman; It is
known that the plans approved by the
directors of the Santa Fe call for the con-
struction, of a large amount of new track,
double tracking of the main line, and the
building of branches and extensions in the
southwest.
In view of this, it would cause little
surprise should Mr. Harriman favor the
. election of S. M. Felton as president of
the Santa Fe system. The manner in
which he reconstructed the Alton railroad,
bringing it to the perfection of physcial
condition at a cost remarkably low, en-
hanced his great reputation as a railway
engineer and manager.
A great deal of interest is being taken
in the results which will follow the en-
trance of the Harriman, or Rockefeller
representatives upon the Santa Fe board.
This much is certain. Inasmuch as the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe are parellel systems to a very large
extent, it is certain that there will not
be an actual consolidation of the manage-
ment unless there is a radical change in
the laws. The chief object of those who
have acquired a controlling interest in the
great system is the elimination of com-
petition in rates.
One thing assured is that the Southern
Pacific railroad in future 'will not have
•to pay higher rates than other roads to
the Santa Fe on coal shipments by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. In the
case just turned over to the bureau of
justice by the interstate commerce com-
mission it was found that for years the
Santa Fe collected 55 cents less than its
tariff rates on each ton of coal it de-
livered to the Southern Pacific at El
Paso. It gave twice as big a rebate on
coal consigned to the El Paso and South-
western railroad and industries on that
’ line when the coal was supplied by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
To those who have never seen a mani-
fest of the cargo of an incoming foreign
ship or who are not familiar with the
routine matters of a ship ageiU’s office it
is interesting to know what the cargo of a
ship contains, where it is from and where
it is going. The following is a sample
manifest of a North German Lloyd steam-
ship lately arriving at the port of Gal-
veston. and is typical o fall large ocean ,
liner’s cargoes:
One case of hams from Bremen for
Dallas. Five cases of toys from Bremen ■
for Dallas. Three cases of earthenware
authority was given the water works and j from Bremen for Dallas. One case of bas-
ketware from Bremen for Dallas. Two
cases of toys from Bremen for Dallas.
Thirty-two cases of tin vents from Bre-
men for Dallas. Three eases of mouth
harmonicas from Hamburg for Dallas.
Five cases of toys from Hamburg for
Dallas. Two cases of earthenware^ from
Hamburg for Dallas. One case of toys
from Hamburg for Dallas. Ten cases of
tin vessels from Hamburg for Dallas, all
of which would seem to indicate that
North Texas is thus early preparing, for
next Christmas. But as toys comprise a
constant source of exports from Germane
to all ports of the world, this item will
probably be found in the manifest of
every freight carrying shj,p leaving Ger-
man ports.
Then, there was one
from Genoa to Galveston. Two cases
of earthenware from Hamburg for Aus-
tin. Two cases of enameled hollowware
from Hamburg for Austin. Four cases
of writing paper from Hamburg for Aus-
tin. One case of enameledware from
Hamburg for Austin. Two cases of dolls
from Hamburg for San. Antonio. One case
of mirrors from Hamburg for San An-
tonio. Fifty-two cases of bitters from
Hamburg for Denver. Twenty-four cases
of enameled, iron and hollow ware from
Hamburg for Denver. . Five cases of
swigs dry milk from Hamburg for San
Francisco. Four cases of paper goods
from Bremen for Galveston. Three cases
of crockery bound to this city. One
hundred , and sixty-seven bales of empty
bottles in bond from Germany for Mexico.
Two hundred bales of rice in bond
Mexico.
Laredo,
coils of
thousand one hundred and eleven barrels
of Portland cement on order. Two hun-
dred bags of alfalfa seed to Laredo.
Sixty barrels of coal tar oil to Laredo..
The fact that Germany is shipping such
a variety of articles to Mexico and West
Texas, points that might readily be sup-
plied from Galveston or nearby cities, has
been commented upon, but, as no more
plausible reason has been offered than
cheaper prices, this will have to remain
as the probable explanation.
Seven hundred and fifty bags of sugar
beet seed bound to Salt Lake City find
fifty, bags of the same kind of seedi to
Ogden. Other large consignments to Salt
Lake City and Logan of the same mate-
rial. There were also large consignments
of Portland cement for this city. Four
hundred bags of sugar beet seed for
Rocky Ford, Colo. Two hundred and
fifty bags for Lamar and four hundred
and fifty for Grand Island.
Sugar beet seed for Colorado and other
western states may be looked for passing
