tub state orphan asylum.
There seemB to be a desire on the part ol
many leading citizens that the state orphau
asylom should be established in Houston
or on its suburbs; and it is probable that
in the event of a visit from J. E. Lab at t,
chairman of the asylum committee, a pub-
lic movement will be had in Houston to
advocate and discuss the city's claims in
that direction. The following notes will
explain themselves:
Austin, September 14.—To the Mayor of
Houston: We will be in Brenham on the
17th inEtant, and if you desire to see us on
the Eubject of the State Orphan asylum
please wire us to that effect. It is the wish
of the governor that we do not visit any

J. E. Labatt, Chairman.
Houston, Tex., September 17.—J. E. La-
llan, Esq., Chairman—Dear Sir: By re-
quest of the trustees of Bayland Orphau
home I write to ask if you will not please
make Houston a visit before recommending
a 6ite for the state orphan asylum.
I feel satisfied that the property which
We can turn over to you in the event that
you select Houston as a location will be de-
cidedly to your advantage financially, and
as healthy as any place in Texas. Our citi-
zens have not as yet made any move
towards offering you a bonus, but I feel
Bdent they will do so if you will visit
us. The Bayland Orphau home property
of itself is worth over $100,000. Yours
truly, S. M. Williams,
Secretary and Treasurer Bayland Orphan

the colored editor's cask.
Justice Kalley's court-room was crowded
With colored church people to listen to the
evidence in the trial of the colored editor
K. C. O. Benjamin, charged by the Rev. H.
Watts with using obscene language in a
public place. About twenty-two witnesses
were examined, when counsel on both sides
took a tilt at each other. At the close of
the arguments Justice llailey fined Ben-
jamin and costs. Application for a new
trial was made, which was granted, the case
l^eiiig leset for next Monday. Parson Watts
wants it distinctly understood that the
charges preferred were not for language
UEed during the lecture, but for talk in-
dulged in by Benjamin last night while the
parson and a committee were talking to
tin). He stated that yesterday he learned
that Benjamin during his lecture had been
Vtry harsh upon the lady members of his
congregation; that the members held a
conference in the church, when many of
the iadies in attendance wept over the al-
leged attack upon them by the
Jboid Benjamin; that a committee
of directors was formed, and headed
toy him went to the house where
Benjamin was stopping, and asked
liim to retract the alleged language
that the sisters, while at their devo-
tions, stood on their heads and were disi-
pated: that Benjamin showed a bold front
and said that he had nothing to retract, and
reiterated the language that the sisters,
when they shouted, stood on their heads,
and that such antics were uncalled for, and
tkat they did not have as much sense as the
monkeys in the interior of Africa, and that
the members of the church were more dis-
ipated than any other church in Houston;
that Benjamin closed the conference by
telling them to go to the law and lot the law
take) its course. From this statement by
Parson Watts it appears that the lecture-
.langnage was considered bad, but the al-
lusion to Africa and the festive monkeys
that hang in unrestrained bliss by their
tails from forest trees was entirely too
much for the parson and the committee of
directors. Hence the suit of this morning,
ffhe parson is red hot, and seems determ-
ined to drive the educated colored man to
the wall. Benjamin, besides being an
editor and a lecturer, is a lawyer, having
been educated in law at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Philadelphia, Pa., September 17.—A
most important social event, connected
witli the celebration of the constitutional
centennial, took place thi3 afternoon when
Mrs. Cleveland was entertained by Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Childs at Wooton, their
beautiful country seat at Bryn Mawr. The
occasion was marked by the presence of a
great number of distinguished persona. Mrs.
Cleveland and invited guests, numbering
from 400 to 500, were taken to Bryn Mawr
in a special train. Mrs. Cleveland looked
particularly charming in her exquisitely
fittirg dress of brown silk, trimmed with
gold braid. When she reached the second
floor of the station Mr. Childs was waiting
to receive her, and at once escorted her
into the private car, where she was joined
by General and Mrs. Sheridan, Secretary of
State Bayard, ex President Hayes and
others. They arrived at Bryn Mawr, where
the whole place had turned out to see her.
Mrs. Cleveland mounted to a seat beside
William Struthers on top of his tally-ho,
and as she sat there with girlishly, charm-
ing and pleased expression, she so won
upon the hearts of on lookers that they
burst into three cheers for ner.
The rest of the party were accom-
modated to seats on the tally ho
and other vehicles, and were driven to
Wooton. Upon reaching Mr. Childs'
grounds, an impromptu coaching party
went at once to the Spring house, and after
being shown its attractions, Mr. Childs led
them to aninclosure near by, where seven
or eight thoroughbred Jerseys were brows-
irg. Mrs. Cleveland, on being told that
the might choose whichever one she want
ed tor a present, expressed her delight in a
naive fashion by consulting all about her
as to her choice, and she cast an appealing
glance at ex President Hayes, who by this
time was in the inclosure examining the
cattle with the air of a rural critic.
Mrs. Cleveland also called upon Bishop
Potter and Mr. Childs to give her their
opinions, and at last her seleuiion wavered
between Hester and Grace. The latter, a
prettily colored heifer eighteen months old,
finally had the honor of being chosen, and
as ber new mistress announced the fact,
she turned laughingly to General Sheridan
and said: "General, do you think lam
mean in selecting the best!1" Mrs. Cleve-
land soon after mounted the tally-ho and
drove the party herself to Mr. Childs' home,
handling the reins in a skillful style.
Once again oil the tally-ho Mrs. Cleveland
was soon inside the house, where she took
fcer place with the other ladles receiving.
They were Mrs. Potter, wife of Bishop Pot-
ter, Mrs. MacAllister Laughlin, Mrs. Sam-
uel J. Randall, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. F. D.
Orant, wife of Colonel Grant, Mrs. Joseph
Pulitzer, Mrs. J. Dnndas Linplnoott, Mrs.
Richard L. Ashurst, Mrs. M. Cadwallader,
Mrs. Eleanor Patterson and Misses Smith.
The other guests, all anxious to get a
s!ght of the president's wife, fell In line
and passed In the front door. Mrs. Cleve-
land had been at the house but a short time
before 1 y a ruse she,|together with Mr. and
Mrs. Chuds, Colonel and Mrs. Grant, Mrs.
Pulitzer ard Miss Patterson passed out of
the fcouEe urobserved and proceeded
to a small oak tree near the house.
Here Mrs. Cleveland took a
spade in her hand and very cleverly
turning the soil, jlmtod "the tree which
will go down to history as the product of
her skill."
By the time <his ceremony was finished
the tally ho was alongside, and Mrs. Cleve-
land, mounting to the front seat, gathered
np the reins like a true whip, and waving
1 er good-by to Mr. Childs and his friends,
drove off with a coach full and returned to
the city.
M'KINNEY.
Something More About the Public School
Xeacbeis ani the Authorities.
McKinney, Tex., September 17.—Quite a
number of applicants are being examined
by the county board of school examiners,
and judging from appearances blanks for
first grade certificates are not likely to run
short. Tie papers are graded higher,
questions more searching and difficult and
an average of ninety required in every
cose. One confident aspirant who has held
first grade and sought a first grade certifi-
cate, again made twenty-five, lowered his
lights to a second grade, and at last ac-
counts was scratching bis head as the
possibility of obtaining a third grade certi-
ficate swept o'er his troubled vision. There
may be an electrical disturbance, but all of
it is not to be attributed to the autnuinal
equinox.
The trouble between the teachers oS the
city schools and the trustees, in which the
cold dliaer and calendar and scholastic
months figured, the teachers contendlu?
that a scholastic month, and the trustees in-
sisting that a calendar month was right,
had a ridiculous phase put on it to day.
B.ith sides have rushed into print; both
tides have organs and invoked the custom
from time immemorial; both sides have
claimed the earth, moon and all the people
on their side, aud some people were getting
hot in tl e col'ar. To-day a little man inter-
inpted with: "Hold on, brethren; let'd
look at the book." They were brought,
wheD, lo! it appeared that the salaries had
been fixed by the calendar month before the
teanhers were elected.
The Collin County Milling association
met here to day and is still in session. The
charter has been received. Capital $75,000.
The association has on hand in cash aud
bonds $22,000. The lot was secured for the
mill at this place, and work will begin very
shortly. Skilled contractors might strike
a good job. Jasper Hand presided, B. W.
Kirkpatrick, secretary. Harvey Tracy lec-
tured before the body, which was largely
composed of the best citizens. The utmost
harmony attended the deliberations.

MEETING OF GOVERNORS.
A Monument in Independence Square in Uorn-
:nt moration of the Adoption of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
Philadelphia, Pa,, September 17.—A
meeting of governors of states to consider
the question of erecting a monument in In-
dependence square in commemoration of
the adoption of the constitution was held in
Governor Beaver's headquarters in the La-
fayette hotel this afternoon. Governor
Beaver piesided, and among the executives
piesentwere Bodwell of Maine, Green of
New Jersey, Buokner of Kentucky, Rich-
ardson of South Carolina, Wilson of West
Virginia, Ames of Massachusetts, Hughes
of Arkansas, Larrabee of Iowa, Thayer of
Nebraska, Seales of North Carolina, and
Pennerier of Oregon.
it was decided to appoint an executive
committee, consisting of seven governors,
seven Philadelphia city officials and thlr
teen members of the citizens' committee,
who shall be empowered to take action in
regard to the contemplated monument and
report subsequently to a general commit
tee. The idea to have a monument erect-
ed by the thirteen original states was
amended to have all the states in the union
participate in the contemplated memorial.
Uovernor Bunker of Kentucky suggested
that arrangements be made for an annual
meeting of governors of the various states
lor the pnrpose of social intercourse and
interchange of views.
After the discussion as to the scope of the
contemplated meeting, aresolntion contain-
ing Buckner's idea was adopted, a commtt-
tee of five being named to arrange the time
and place.
Uovernor Beaver announced that ho had
in his possession a cup and saucer for each
of tre executives of the states and terri-
tories, a present from a New Jersey estab
lishiiient, Ehowing the progress of the lat-
ter state in porcelain manufacture In re-
cent years.
KNIGHTS AND ANARCHISTS.
The Chicago Times Thinks the Approaching
Annual Assembly will be the Most
Important Ever Held.
Chicago, III., September 17.—The Times
to day says: The decision of the Illinois
Supreme Court in the anarchists'case will
exercise a powerful influence on the annual
general assembly cf the Knights of Labor,
which meets at Minneapolis October 5, and
thereby indirectly on the labor move-
ment, and perhaps the very existence
of the older of Knights of Labor. It is la
tended to bring the matter before the as-
Eembly at the outset and pass a resolution
denouncing the decision and demanding in-
terference of the Supreme Court of the
United States. This move will proceed
ironi the radical wing and thus will be an
element in the fight on General Master
Workman Fowderly. The radicals hail
some difficulty in passing the anarchist
resolutions at Richmond.
Their hand has been very materially
strengthened during the past year, and
they now claim that they will have a ma-
jority in tho coming convention. Reports
that have been received by those prominent
among the radical knights of the "ity as-
sure them that the radicals have eucted
their delegates in nearly all the big cities,
and [in many places outside of the centers
of industry.
They are very hopeful not only [of carry-
fnglthe resolution in favor of the anarchists
but also of outvoting the present conserva-
tive administration. The anarchist resolu-
tion will be used as an entering wedge to
separate the two factions more definitely

SAN ANGELO.
A Eegro Boy Drowned—Movement ot Troops—
A Large Cave Discovered.
Ban Angelo, Tex., September 17.—A
young negro boy was drowned near the
junction of the rivers below town last night.
The river was swollen by heavy rains, and
in attempting to cross he was washed
down stream.
Company F, Sixteenth infantry, received
orders this morning to move, as soon as
the troops of cavalry en route here arrive,
to San Antonio.
A cowboy from Concho county brings In-
formation of a big cave near the ranch of
Kennedy & Roberts. The first man who
went down was overcome by the impure
air and another had to go down to his res-
cue. He found the cave to be a large one,
and brought up with him an Indian idol,
•which is now on exhibition at one of the
drug stores here.
TEXABKANA.
The Citizens Excited Over the Discovery ol a
Bich Bed of Good Coal.
Texarkana, Ark., September 17.—In dig-
ging a well to day on the line between lands
owned by the Texarkana Waterworks com-
pany and Geo. H. Langsdale a fine qual-
ity of coal was found at a depth of twenty-
four feet. Up to dark three and a half feet
had been penetrated and yet no signs of
striking through the other side of the find
showed themselves. Several discoveries of
a similar character have been lately made
near here, and this afternoon's discovery
has filled the town with enthusiasm and
fixed the conviction that the city's future is
assured. Mineral, thought to be iron, was
also found. Mr. S. C. Stafford of the Texas
Express company, formerly a miner in
Colorado, pronounced the coal of the very
best quality. _
