The week’s business ieview shows
business improved all around. Prices
are fully maintained aud in some in-
stances advanced notwithstanding
the prospect foi large yields in the
present crop. Business failures are
less and the changes though slight
are all in the right direction.
The press reports concerning the
confessions of Burke do not appear to
lie borne out by tiie facts. Burke
was arraigned yesterday and pleaded
not guilty. He will make a vigorous
defense. He denies alike the crime
itself and conspiracy to commit it.
Galveston harbor that haven of
rest for the commerce of our empire
was swept by a storm such as is not
at all unusual on the coast and
every pleasure boat and yacht and all
sm HI crafts thut were in the harbor
were wrecke 1-unk or badly damaged
ana many ot uie larger crafts were
injured. Great is the deep water
harbor in a storm.
The latest discovery concerning the
cotton-boll worm is that it lias a soft
pulpy brain cannot stand a noise and
that a loud sound kills it. As a con-
sequence many planters are impro-
vising cannon out ot anvils and are
bombarding the boll worm with
blank cartridges. If all things with
a soft brain were as easily’ destroyed
by noise as the boll-worm what a
harvest of dudes the undertaker
would reap every fifth of July.
The law otlicers do not know that
the man captured at Laredo is Tas-
cott they are not certain that the
man in Mexico is Plunkett they' are
in the dark as to the present hiding
place of Kilrain but they do know
that Boston John is at Pass Christian
and that he will be tried next Mon-
day for in vadi ng the sacred soil of
Mississippi.
How would it doasa common sense
arrangement to wait the appointment
of Attorney General Miller to the
supreme bench before criticising his
fitness fortlie place or at least before
damnimr the president tor making
the appointment. The criticism before
Iba act coming from the sources it
does will not prevent the appoint-
ment in case the president has determ-
in id to make it and in ease he has
determined not to make it would
It not save the critics the unpleasant
reflection of having elongated their
ears most unnecessarily. This sug-
gestion is free and the acceptance of
it will not cost the critics a cent.
President Harrison is not a fool. He
has some knowledge of the require-
mentsofa supreme court judge and
with the example of Cleveland before
him will not be likely to lumber the
supreme bench with another log ot
inferior justice timber.
Boulanger is in the soup. Bis-
mark is lugged in as evidence to
prove that Boulanger aimed at being
Frst Consul of France for life. If
Boulanger was fool enough to give
himself away to Bismark he has put
himself beyond the sympathy' of wise
men. Perhaps Carnot and Bismark
will make a league of perpetual
friendship over the condemnation of
Boulanger as did Pilate and Herod
over the condemnation and sentence
of the Nazarene. If Boulanger blab-
bed to Bismark and Bismark has
blowed on him good bye Boulanger.
ALFRED TENNYSON
Poet Laureate.
The reader noticed the absence of
verses from the pen of the poet-laur-
eate on the occasion of the marriage
of the Princess Louise to the Earl of
Fite. Probably the old bard is past
the ability to make poetry' to order
for Alfred Tennyson was born at
Somerby Lincolnshire England as
long ago as August ISO!) ami is there-
fore just eighty yearsold. He was ed-
ucated at Trinty college Cambridge
and won the Chancellor’s medal with
the prize poem “Timmictoo ” when
he was twenty. Tennyson was made
poet-laureate in 18-50 when Words-1
worth died. In 1555 he was given the
degree of D. C. L. by the University
of Oxford. Queen Victoria created
him Baron Tennyson d’Eyncourt of.
Aidworth ISB3. The first volume of
poems bearing his name was the work
ol his elder brother Charles and him- (
self. It was published in 1«i27. Three
years after “poems chiefly lyrical”
appeared the exclusive work of Al-
fred aud the bright dawn of his glo-
rious success as a poet. By many
critics his “In Memoriam” is regarded j
as the greatest poem ot the century.!
His works comprise a great variety I
including several dramas which are i
better read than acted. Perhaps his j
Arthurian poetry is the most read. !
Tennyson is a master mind and a ।
consummate artist. No recent poet !
can be said to share pre-eminence
with him.
Our 580650 Franc Picture.
JEAN FRANCOIS MILLET.
The Man Who Painted it.
“The Angelus." bought at the'
Secretan sale by M. Antonin Proust 1
has been secured for America with-1
out possibility of a slip by the pay-[
meat to that gentleman of 580650
francs. A firm of American bankers I
representing the American Art Asso-
ciation completed the transaction
which adds another great picture to
our artistic possessions and one which
cost more than any’ other we have.
The price originally paid to the artist
for “'1 he Angelus” was only eighteen ।
hundred francs. A franc 'it will be |
remembered is worth about nineteen i
cents. Millet’s great picture is repro- I
duced in so many ways; {hat it needs j
no description. The peasant figures i
in the open field bowing their heads
in prayer constitute a subject unique!
aud readily recalled to memory. '
Millet was born at Gruchya village I
in Norjuandy France hi October
1811. He was the eldest of nine chil-
dren. The first eighteen years of his I
life were spent in the hamlet where |
he was born. He then went to Cher-i
bourg to study art. At t .venty-four !
he married a dressmaker of that town |
who died in consumption within a
year from her marriage. The be-!
reaved artist went to Paris where lie i
did not stay long. He married a
second time and m ule his home at i
Barbizon where he died in 1575. !
Millet was the painter of French
peasant life.

Resolutions ot Hespect.
At a regular meeting of the Ladies’
Aid society’ of Travis Park M. E.
church held August 0 the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt-
ed :
Whereas It has pleased an Allwise
Providence to remove by death our be-
loved sister Mrs. Bettie Johnson
Therefore Resolved That in the
death of our beloved sister this soci-
ety of which she was a devoted and
active member has sustained a great
and deplorable loss. A devoted wife
and mother her loss to her husband
and children is irreparable. To them
we tender our heartfelt sympathies.
Resolved That these resolutions be
published in the daily papers.
Mrs. L. F. Price
Recording Secretary.
The least that the great state of
Pennsylvania can do is to continue
its work at Johnstown until all the
debris is removed and all chance of
coming upon dead and decomposing
bodies in out of the way places passed
by. There is very serious and immi-
nent danger of the state discontinuing
its work and yet bodies in greater or
less numbers are being unearthed
every’ day and many’ cellars and low
places remain filled w ith dirt and ob-
struction under which no doubt
more dead will be found. The state
authorities can do this work better
than any other. They have begun the
work and should finish it. It is a
work of such magnitude that it should
not be left in the hands of private
parties 'that is left undone. The
state has so far done its work wisely’
and well in the face of great difficul-
ties and much unfriendly criticism;
let the state finish the work and so
approve its humanity’ and its care of
its citizens.
