Vote for Wash. Jones —the “great com-

Let every German kill two birds of ill-
omen with one ballot—Hancock and Ireland.
It was a long time ago but John Ireland
and John Hancock were both know-nothing
brethren together and now they are asking
foreign citizens to vote for them.
Every Frenchman is a protectionist—John
Hancock is a free trader and a British free
trader at that. Give him a “coup de grace”
at the ballot box.
Taking the last year’s vote for governor the
democratic majority in the loth congressional
district was 3135. Bexar county is put down
for 895 of this majority. Bexar and Medina
counties will wipe out this 3135 figure while
Gov Davis will receive an increased vote in
every other county in the district. He is
elected beyond doubt.

Blanco November 1. —The largest crowd
of people that ever greeted a public speaker
here was that which assembled in the pecan
grove south of the public square at 2 p. m.
to-day to hear ex-Gov. E. J. Davis. His
speech was eloquent and well received. He
presented new features on the tariff which I
think will have a good effect in this county.

Certain cosmic processes of which philosc
phers and astronomers know little are gener-
ating the dreadful storms and cyclones which
lately been endured in all parts of the world.
The fearful rains and whirlwinds we have had
here are repeating themselves—the first in
England where rivers are overflowing their
banks; the second in Madrid where 60000
people have been left homeless by the des-
truction of bouses. The ways of nature are
past finding out.
Good Music.
The ;Mnd infantry band will play at the
Springs to-morrow. Public Invited.
A high jump of six teet two inches is not an
everyday performance that one should pass it
by unnoticed when it is made. At the Irish
athletic championship meeting P. Davin
cleared this wonderful Light which is within
three-quarters of an inch of the record of his
own making. Mr. I. Brooks the Oxonian it
may be remembered cleared six reet two and
a half inches; but no other athlete has ever
got within hail even of six feet in a fair leap.
To most us although we may not be so had
as Leech’s stout gentleman who found him-
self unequal to jump over a walking-stick laid
upon the ground such leaping almost ap-
proaches the superhuman. Five feet will
probably be more than the average acrobat
can accomplish with all his life-long training.

Father Ryan the Poet I’rlest
From the New Orleans Picayune
To those who may never have seen this emi-
nent personage it may be of interest to know
that he is of medium height broad chested
with long twany locks sprinkled with gray
and much unkempt falling over his shoulders;
rather small but brilliant eyes of blue or gray
a high forehead with the hair thrown back
and a scalp lock standing prominently over
his forefront face oval rather long complex-
ion ruddy features all strongly prominent
mouth with well cut lips rather full and ter-
minating in downward tending lines at the
comers chin with a dimple framed in a fat
nether or double chin —these were the chief
distinguishing marks in the physiognomy of
the poet-priest of Southland. His face wore
a serious and almost sad aspect and it was
only under the influence ot some pleasing
thought or lofty inspiration that this almost
stem countenance broke into a marvelously
sweet smile.

Parson Shaw Retires From the Ministry.
Cleburne November 3- The committee ap
pointed yesterday on Mr. Shaw's case reported
to-day that .Mr. Shaw had submitted to them a
statement of his religious views and that they
believed liis opinions to be heretical in a high
degree detrimental to religion and injurious
to the church and recommended that his re
quest be allowed to surrender his credentials
and retire from the ministry without formal
indictment and trial for heresy.
The report was adopted
Mr. Shaw arose and was recognized by
Bishop Parker who said :
"Brother Shaw In my ruling yesterday by
which you were refused the privilege of re
plying before the conference to the accusa-
tions against you I may have appeared arbi-
trary and discourteous towards you. I did not
intend either but acted on what I conscien-
tiously believed to be the law in the case.
To this Mr. Shaw replied :
"I accept the explanation though I be’ieved
at the time and believe yet that injustice has
been done me and a legal right denied me; but
I am not here to argue the merits of my case.
That would ill become me now but (advancing
to the secretary's desk and presenting his cre-
dentials). I now return to the proper authority
these credentials with which you nave honored
me with the satisfaction of knowing that dur-
ing the twelve years I have held them not a
stain or blot has ever marred them and in
these years not a whisper or thought has been
breathed against my moral character. I re-
turn them pure and unsullied as when first
committed to nly keeping and now ask that
to-morrow 1 shall be allowed to deliver to the
members of this conference mj - farewell ad-
dress.”
In his address he will resign the following
positions: As a member of the general board
of missions secretary of the conference board
of publication associate editor of the Christian
Advocate and board of curators of the South-
western University.
He took his seat amid the tears of his breth-
ren and the sympathy id a vast audience.
There was scarcely a dry eye that witnessed
t he affecting scene.
The Cleburne Chronicle this morning criti-
cized severely the action of the conference
which was as the law requires but the same is
generally deplored and condemned by the pen
pie.
II Ryder-Taylor Once More in Print.
M. H. Ryder-Taylor an English gentle-
man of rank was on trial last night before the
British association of which he is vice-presi-
dent on a charge of willfully practicing de-
ception. After long arguments he was ac
quitted on a majority vote. Then he was
compelled by the association to withdraw
statements he had made with reference to Mr.
Scott a member and Mr. Scott to withdraw
a threat that he would cow hide the honora-
ble gentleman if the honorable gentleman did
not apologize. It was a spectacle for the
Gods. The two staunch Brittons became
friends again and sympathetic spectators
were moved almost to tears.

Strange are the vagaries ot fashion ! Among
the latest of its freaks is said to be the intro-
duction of “prayer rugs” to be used by the
fashionable ladies. They have come from the
misty east along with Japanese goods hash-
ish ottar of roses and other delectable things
and the aroma of “Araby the blest” is sup-
posed to cling to them even when they are
bought from an Irish Turk on Broadway.
They are described as being similar to those
used by the Mohometans are usually about
three or four feet in size and can be distin-
guished by the design which represents some
large figure at one end and is pointed at the
other. Places are indicated for the hands and
knees. Devout women procure the real
things from an importer and without facing
Mecca bumping their heads on the floor or
removing their shoes and stockings like the
sons of the I’rophet still actually do use
them to kneel on while praying. They are
said to be a great comfort.

England possesses $44109000000 worth of
property and France $37200000000. This

lawful designs on his part I can only express
to you the regret of Her Majesty’s Govern-
ment that this incident should have oc-
curred.”
Estimates have been made in England as to
the relative cost of keeping coin and paper in
circulation. To coin 1000000 sovereigns
costs about $lOOOO or a cent apiece. In fif-
teen years they lose one-half of one per cent.
or about $24 000 and become too light for
further use as money. The total expense on a
million of sovereigns would be $35000 for fif-
teen years. The paper to print 1000000 one
£ notes would cost four cents apiece or $40-
000 at the outside. During fifteen years they
would have to be re furnished at least three
times or if in active use six times thus re-
quiring an outlay of about $160000 and per-
haps s2Boooojor the same period that a mil-
lion of sovereigns would remain in circula-
tion.
When gold is shipped from the United
States to England it is usually put in strong
eanvas bags. Each bag contains $5000.
Ten ot these bags are packed in a strong iron
keg. Thus each keg contains $50000. The
average rate of insurance is about $1700 on
each million dollars. During the last twenty
years every keg of gold that has been shipped
has been taken out of Wall street to the vessel
by one man old John Barclay who is said to
have grown lieh in the business. He gets $1
for every keg taken on his truck and he often
takes forty of them at a load. The lo»s by
abrasion from the shipment of gold to Eng-
land is about $250 on a million. The Unital
States government is now putting its gold into
bars for shipment instead of shipping the
coin. Eaeh bar or brick is valued at $4 500.
The bars are packed in kegs of sawdust to
prevent abrasion.
