“Buy securities, go to sleep and get
rich,” says Senator Stewart commenting
.on .’the* steady rise in values. That sort of
easy street prosperity is what was the
matter with the country heretofore.
People wanted to get rich without work-
• ing and Stewart was one of the most
clamorous of the class demanding a gov-
ernment fiat to put values into his silver
ore. Good times have come back, but the
man who goes to sleep expecting to wake
up rich is likely to oversleep himself.

A. W. Evans Makes 356 Miles in 24 Hours,
With Time to Spare.
New Brunswick, N. J., Aug. 12.—In spite
of the heavy rains which he encountered,
Antonio W. Evans of this city, succeeded
in establishing a new 24-hour bicycle road
record. He added 16 miles to the distance
ridden by Edwards of New York last June,
and with 356 miles to his credit, finished at
6 o’clock a. m., with 11 minutes to spare,
having started at 6.22 the previous morn-
ing. He was paced by tandem teams over
the entire distance. The course was be-
tween this city and Elizabeth, a distance
of 25 miles. The rain put an end to his
hopes of riding 400 miles in the 24 hours.
As he was 56 miles ahead of the record he
dismounted 11 minutes before the time was
up.

WOODFORD STARTS FOR SPAIN.
London, Aug. 12.—Gen. Stewart L. Wood-

started for Paris today with his staff, on
the way to Madrid.
King of Italy and Others in High Station
Intervene.
Paris, Aug. 12.—Prince Henry of Orleans,
replying to the duke of Aosti, eldest
nephew of the king of Italy, who was sent
to France by his majesty, with instruc-
tions to make an attempt to prevent the
duel being fought between Prince Henry
and Gen. Albertone, as the result of the
Prince’s reflections upon the conduct of
Italian soldiers in Abyssinia, has informed
the duke that it is impossible for him to
retreat.
It is now thought others will intervene
in the matter. The following semi-official
communication has been issued:
“It is learned from a trustworthy
source that the unexpected intervention of
a very high Italian personage, claiming
for himself the honor of encountering
Prince .Henry of Orleans, will very prob-
ably modify the situation. Under these
circumstances it is very probable that Gen.
Albertone will have to give place to the
exalted personage in question.”
A telegram which was received by Prince
Henry while traveling last night apprised
him of the intervention.
Race—One

Sixth Race—One-half mile, professional;

Seventh Race—One mile, professional;

The races will bte under the supervision
of Mr. Tom Parker of Waco, who is now
in change of the local track and who has
had a great deal of experience in events
of this kind. Those who are expected to
participate in the professional races are:
Bovee of El Paso; Wilmians, Taylor, Tre-
maine and Taliaferro, Dallas; Blanchard,
Robinson and Phillips, Waco. Besides
these a number of local professionals will
enter.
Arrangements have been made for cheap
railroad nates and this will probably at-
tract bicycle enthusiasts who are not
riders, who would go miles to witness
races when cheap rates are offered. En-
tries are being daily received and indi-
cations are that there will be a larger at-
tendance here, ft^an at the recent state
meet. t*
Some correspondence is being carried on
between the managers of the national cir-:
cuit riders and Mr. Parker relative to a
visit of the riders to this city this fall.
It has been decided that they will come,
but the date has not been definitely set-
tled. They will be here about Nov. 15,
and it is possible they may remain two
days. With them are such riders as Bald,
Cooper and other men of equal promi-
nence.
A telegram received from San Antonio
to day states that several fast amateurs
from that city will be here on the 24th and
participate in the races.

It will be a happy -thing for the state,
and we believe best for the railroads in
the long run, if there is no injunction
against the commission’s new tariff
Which is scheduled .to go into effect to-
morrow. The litigation would be harmful
in many ways, not the least of which
would *be in affording campaign material
for political adventurers. If, upon trial,
< the railroads can show that the tariff
yields insufficient revenue, the roads will
be on a much better footing before the
commission in an application for amend-

A large London firm has secured for the

Bicycles are not yet very common in
Spain. The authors of “Sketches Awheel
in Modern Iberia” were constantly fright-
ening animals and angering their owners;
in one case a murderous assault by a
drunken driver was narrowly averted.
The writers comment on the noisiness of
Spanish towns, the badness of the country
roads, the beauties of the scenery and so
forth. Postal affairs do not seem to im-
prove at all. 'The writers mailed from
Granada seven small articles to the post in
other countries and only one of them
reached its destination, and this was but
a sample of their experiences.
The mesquite bean is an excellent sub-
stitute for coffee, and has long been used
by the Mexicans to make a beverage in
every way similar to coffee. This fact led
to the organization of a company three
years ago, composed of San Antonio and
St. Louis men, whose object was to gather
the bean and put it on the market, mixing
it with coffee beans. A drouth set in just
at that time and there was such a scarcity
of rnequite beans that the enterprise was
abandoned. Now that a bountiful crop of
these beans is assured, the project has
been revived and the experiment will be
tried as soon as the beans are ripe. There
are several million bushels of these beans
in southwest Texas, which are to be had
for the gathering.
The unceasing desire to regulate every
detail of the citizen’s life leads to some
curious instances of interference with
freedom of choice in Prussia. Thus, only
a certain limited number of chemists is al-
lowed in every town. One to 5000 inhabit-
ants is the ratio. No doubt there are
cynics who will be disposed to applaud
such a regulation, but its practical effect
is to create a monopoly and to occasion
much inconvenience. More curious still is
the arrangement by which a master sweep
is appointed to each district in a town.
Him you must employ whether you like it
or not—or at least you must pay him if
you employ another. He, and he alone,
has a legal right to the fee for sweeping
your chimney. This makes him a very im-
portant and often wealthy individual. Of
course he has numerous assistants and
sometimes does not work himself. One
such divisional sweep was reputed to en-
joy an income of $7500 a year from his busi-
ness. In justice to the state, it should be
added that such persons have to pass an
examination before they are allowed to
attain to these exalted positions.
Silver men insist that prosperity is all
the Lord’s doings. Then they ought to
accept it with more resignation.
The coincidence of high priced wheat
making high priced flour and high priced
cattle making high priced meat would
make the laborers’ cost of living pretty
stiff if a high tariff had not been passed
making high priced wages. It follows
that if wages are not advanced in pro-
tected industries there is going to be a
howl. That is one reason why the coal
Strike excites so much public sympathy.

A Galveston. Man Meets With an Accident
in Mississippi.
A dispatch received from. Scranton,
Miss., last, night announces that William
Hinton of Galveston, who has been visit-
ing in that city several months, was
drowned last Monday and the body has
not been recovered.- He was sailing with
a boy in a small boat, when the craft
capsized and both persons were thrown
into the water. The boy saved himself by
clinging to the bottom of the boat.
Hinton was well known in Galveston
and resided here for a number of years.
Until three years ago he was engaged in
the saloon business, but was forced to re-
tire on account of ill health. Since his
retirement he had made his home with
Capt. Andrew Munn, 12th and Strand. He
was a widower and about 64 years of age.
He left for Scranton a few months ago
on a trip in the interest of health.

Bob Brackett Lynched in the Presence of
His Victim.
Asheville, N. C., Aug. 11.—Gov. Russell
called out the troops this morning to pro-
tect the negro rapist, Bob Brackett, and
to disperse the mob, but his action was too
.slow, and the.negro was hanged ta^he
mob. At the lynching was Miss Hencfcr-
son, the young lady whom the negro as-
saulted, and she shouted with joy when
they strung him up. When he was brought
before her for identification she made a
desperate attempt to shoot the negro, but
was prevented.
From dark last night until daylight this
morning the city -was in a state of wild
excitement, and after the mob could not
find the negro in the jail, they simply de-
molished the building and liberated every
prisoner they found confined therein. The
negro had been stolen out about 7 o’clock,
despite the fact that a strong guard was
around the jail. The sheriff and other offi-
cers took the negro and started for the
nearest railroad station east, where they
intended boarding the east bound vestibule
train for Raleigh at 4 o’clock this morning,
but just as the train reached the station
the mob had, by hard driving across a
mountain, reached the place also and took
the prisoner in charge. They started back
to the scene of -the crime, which is at
Weaverville, near Asheville, but upon
hearing that the governor had called out
the troops, they again had the young lady
to identify the negro, which she did, and
at a school house they strung him up. Not
a shot was fired, and within 40 minutes
after the negro breathed his last the com-
pany of soldiers arrived.
The negro made no resistance, not even
asking for mercy. The body was brought
to Asheville tonight. The lynchers were
from the northern part of Buncombe coun-
ty, in the vicinity of the crime.

TRIAL OF THE ASSASSIN.

premier, will be tried by court martial at
Verzara Saturday next.
The Westminster Gazette on Sherman,
Hanna and the Senate.
London, Aug. 12.—The Westminster Ga-
zette this afternoon publishes a long lead-
ing article in the course of which the opin-
ion is expressed that if Secretary Sher-
man should be forced to retire* from the
cabinet he will “make Ohio too hot for
and ending, “It is awful
to contemplate the results of Mr. Hanna
being done out of his price for making
McKinley president.
“Some innocents may object that if
Sherman is too senile to hold office he
must be too senile for the senate, but as
a matter of fact no one has yet estimated
how incompetent a man must be before
the senate is closed to him. In this he
shares the advantage of the house of
lords.” .
In conclusion the Gazette remarks: “We
are rather sorry if Secretary Sherman is
to be superseded, as in his own rough
way he expresses a phase of American
feeling Which it is important for us to
know.”
Col. L. J. Polk, general manager of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, received a
telegram this morning, announcing the
death, at Lexington, Va., of his brother-
in-law, Col. Edward Dillon. Col. Dillon
was a gallant Confederate officer and was
in the old army before the war. He was
in the command of Gen. Earl Van Dorn
and succeeded to his command when that
intrepid officer was assassinated.
A son, Roy Dillon, resided in Galveston
for some time, where he was employed
in Col. Polk’s office. , He is now chief clerk
in Division Freight Agent Gleason’s office
at Dallas. .. -t

KEF? THE MONEY AT HOME.
Ha^ it ever occurred ;to you that in the
erection and operation of the Galveston
brewery we,have an enterprise that is do-
ing a ;good W.ork foF Galveston? It gives
employment to large number of men,
which means thousands of dollars turned
loose here every* mofigh;* besides, if given
the proper consideraiijfcnsfby our own peo-
ple, itialso means thefke<>ing of over half
a million dollars in cii^pfation which had
heretofore been sent ofutjof Galveston ev-

Good times in general are not without
their disadvantages in particular. The
high price of wheat makes high prices for
flour, and the advance in cattle increases
the cost of meat. Higher tariff means
higher values in commerce and means that
the individual must pay more for his coat,
his hat and. his carpet.
But higher -wheat and cattle give farm-
' ers and stockmen more money to pay
. debts and spend for supplies. This makes
better times for merchants and causes
easier finances for those who need to
borrow for enterprise and development.
'A higher tariff starts many industries
hitherto idle and enables others to* run
on full time. It ought to increase and
doubtless will increase the wage scale In
protected industries. At least it will en-
large the deman'd for labor and put more
money into wage earners’ hands. Laborers
will buy more and the round of stimulated
trade will reach from the humblest to the
greatest.
Meanwhile increased ’crop yields make
better earnings for railroads and better
earnings appreciate nailroad securities,
. correspondingly effect other securities,
and the stock market is consequently en-
livened.
Hence, while living is higher, earnings
and profits more than equalize the in-
creased cost. It is notorious that our
■spending is usally regulated by our earn-
ing’s rather than our expenses. It ought
not to be so, from, a personally economic
standpoint, but it is, and this fact is what
makes times better with an average of
high prices than with a scale of low prices.
The man who earns freely will spend
freely. He feels better and works better.
His output is larger and his mood is hap-
plSF ‘This condition is infectious and per-
vades the entire country when it once
gets a good impulse. That is the condition
into which we are now entering, and while
the individual may grumble a little as he
buys his flour or meat or hat he will not
begrudge the farmer and the laborer the
better returns they are receiving, because
he knows that in the general prosperity
lies his own opportunity to get along and
make money.
An Attractive Program Arranged for Aug.
24 Here.
Interest in cycling events is on the in-
crease in Galveston and scarcely a day
passes that 'a race is not run or plans for
future contests dismissed.
Arrangements are being made for pro-
fessional and amateur races at the Gal-
veston cycle park Aug. 24. The prizes to
be offered are larger than any previous
offers for similar events and as a result a
large number of Aiders from various points
in the state will participate.
The program is as follows:
First Race—One-half mile,
open.
Second Race--One mile, amateur; open.
Third Race—Two mile handicap, ama-
teur.
Fourth Race—One-half mile, boys’ race;

, Cyclers will'appreciate a new pump
which consists of a long cylinder with a
piston at each end, connected to a central
shaft, which is revolved by a crank, in-
stead of sliding the tube back and forth,
the new pump weighing but little more
than the old one and filling a tire in less
than half the time with little exertion.
To assist typewriters and copyists in
keeping their place on the copy, a new
device has a frame to hold the book or
paper, with a ratchet wheel, mounted on
a roller in the frame and operate! by an
auxiliary key on a line with the other keys
to move a line indicator across the face
of the copy, the device being adjustable to
different space lines.
For use in case of fire, when hose lines
have to be* laid across• trolley tracks, a
steel bridge is used, which clamps on each
rail of the track, and is formed of two
parallel pieces which are hing’ed at one
end, the upper one being raised to lay
the hose in the opening beneath, after
which it is closed and locked at the other
end to hold it in place.
Papers and circulars can be automatical-
ly folded, wrapped and addressed, in a
new machne, the papers being placed in a
pile on the feeding table, which takes each
paper and folds it, holding it until the
gummed wrapper can be placed around it,
after which a slip containing a name and
address is cut from a printed roll and
stuck on the wrapper.
A newly patented hose rack for use in
buildings on fire has a bracket arm
screwed to the wall, with pins in it at in-
tervals on which loops of hose are hung,
the pins being far enough apart so that
water will flow through the hose while
hanging on the rack, thus making it un-
necessary to pul] all the hose off the rack
before the water will flow.
To raise the axles on wa.gons to remove
the wheels for oiling, a new wagon jack,
which will fit any wagon, has a sliding
block set in a frame, with a chain to at-
tach it to the lifting bar, the bar being
raised to its full dieight and the block
pulled up until it strikes the axle, when a
link in the chain is fastened to* a book on
the bar, which.is then drawn downward
to raise the axle.'
A recently patented bicycle gear just
purchased by a leading wheel making firm,
has a metal easing to cover the gear,
-which is formed of bevel gear and straight
gear wheel slidably mounted on the crank
shaft and meshing into* a dduble gear
wheel on the driving shaft, which runs t.o
the rear wheel through the frame at one
side, the sliding wheel on the crank shaft
being used to change the gear .by having
the bevel face of the wheel of different
circumference from the straight face.

Prince Henry Thinks There is a Great
Field for French Commerce.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 12.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Marseilles says: Prince
Henry looks none the worse for his
neyings into Abyssinia, which were not
unaccompanied by hardship. He is satis-
fied with the success of his mission. He
was received with manly cordiality by
Emeperor Menelik, and he is pleased with
the prospects of the fresh markets for
European products, which the develop-
ment of Abyssinia promises to create, and
which he hopes France will be the first
to profit by.
He has linked his fortunes with Count
de Leontieff, who on his part is held in
such high esteem by the Negus that he
has been nominated governor general of
the equatorial provinces of Ethiopip.
Of these provinces he spoke with en-
thusiasm*, dwelling upon their wealth and
the vast store of mineral resources they
contain. A magnificent outlet for French
products and manufactures will bo found
in them, he thought, when opened up un-
der European auspices, upon European
ideas,’ and with all the advantages of Eu-
ropean civilization.
Placards Threatening Trouble if the Gov-
ernment Is Not Changed.
■Constantinople, Aug. 12. — Placards
printed in Arabic characters have been
found posted upon the walls of all the
ministries demanding a change in the
system of government in the Turkish em-
pire and threatening violence unless this
is effected. The placards declare that
otherwise blood will flow as during the
Armenian massacres.
The minister for war, Risa Pasha, has
sent a circular to all Turkish command-
ers directing them to watch their officers
strictly. This step is attributed to in-
creasing discontent visible in Turkey
against the present government.
