military matters.
Brigadier general H. B. Stoddard assumed
command of Camp Roberts to-day, with
Lieutenant-colonel L. M. Oppenheimer of
Galveston as his assistant adjutant-general.
The following orders were issued this
morning:
General Order No. 1—From and after re-
ceipt of this order company commanders
will not issue passes to more than two men
at the same time without the approval of
the commanding officer.
2. Company commanders will issue no
passes which permit their maa to ab3ent

o'clock.

make a sufficient detail of men to thorough-
ly police their quarters, and have the latter
in proper condition for inspection within

By order of
Brig.-Gen. H. B. Stoddard,
Commanding Camp.
The horse race, or more properly the
pony race, which took place at the grounds
this afternoon, w^s quite interesting and
CRUsed great excitement. By the time the
race was about to begin the crowds were
enormous, and blocked up tha passage-
ways. Several ponies, about half a dozen
altogether, were formally entered. O wing
to the hour being a little late, however,
only one course was run. The ponies
started off in a sweeping gait, with ltuthar-
fcid Ranger somewhat m the lead. On
went the ponies around the course, while
the people on the grand stand fairly
stood up in their excitement to view
the home stretch. Rutherford Ranger
was seen to be still in the lead, and with
nostrils dilated and mane streaming wildly
in the wind, Rutherford Ranger burst in
ahead, traversing 400 yards in twenty-six
seconds. Brown Charlie followed three
seconds behind, and Prairie Ranger two
seconds later. It was a pretty close and
exciting run, and was greatly enjoyed by
the huge crowd. The first prize was f5 and
half of the gate money for one day, and the
secoiid prize the balance of the same gate
money.
A large and beautiful bouquet of flowers
was presented to the gallant Prairie Rang-
ers t-o day. The handsome cavalrymen now
adore their fair Houston friends, and treas-
ure their roses as carefully as they do their
own reputation.
When the sergeant of the guard attempt-
ed to relieve a certain sentinel to-day at
camp, not another member of his company
could be found. Another command was
sent to bring them into camp. Soldiers!
soldiers! what about the influence of the
Honston ladies and the fascination of their
germans? The german at Turner hall lasted
very late last Wednesday evening, and this
may account for the absence of the mem-
bers of the company above mentioned. But
then it is excusable under the circum-
stances.
Misses Williams and Mott of Galveston,
accompanied by Major Mott and Mr. Austin
Robinson, visited headquarters to day. The
yonng ladies were very much interested in
general order No. 10 as construed by tha
officers of the Honston Light Guard.
Lieutenants Rumbough and Cushman of
Battery F, United States Flying artillery,
were at headquarters to day.
W. L. Levy of the Hongview RiHes has
been complaining because he is not con-
sidered the tallest soldier in camp, bat J.
W. Sorrell of the Granite Rifles overtops
him just a little, being G feet 4 inches in
height.
EDITORS ENTERTAINED.
wit and eloquence.
Houston, Tex., June 23.—The press ban-
quet of the State encampment took place
to night in the armory of the Honston Light
Guard. About 100 guests were in attend-
ance. Captain J. C. Hutcheson was master
of ceremonies. The following toasts were
read and responded to:
"The State of Texas," by the governor.
The speech was very finished, eloquent and
patriotic.
"The Railroads of Texas," by Thad Holt.
He made a very short and effective speech,
"North Texas and its Journalism," by E.
G. Senter. His response to the toast was of
a finished and clear character, being fol-
lowed by loud applause.
•'The Texas Militia," was responded to
very happily by General A. S. Roberts.
"The Press Association," by J. P. Bridges
of the Luling Signal, convulsed the as-
sembled guests. It gushed with dry wit
and placed his hearers on good terms with
themselves. Bridges proved himself the
wit of the table.
"Galveston and Honston" was responded
'o by Dudley D. Bryan of Galveston- Jlr.
Bryan's speech was neat and appropriate.
He received rounds of applause.
"Our Young Business Men." by W. O.
Ellis, was of a vigorous and oratorical
character. He was earnest, graphic and
fluent, and received applause.
This closed the regular order of toasts.
General Stanley o? the United States
army was called upon and made a very ?au
Bible f.nd interesting talk, which was atten-
tively listened to.
He was followed by J. E. MaCombs,
United States district attorney, wiio re
fponded to the toast of the "Houston Light
Gnard."
Major E. W. Cave being called made the
master effort of the evening. He is an elo-
quent speaker and is graphic in the use of
his sentences. At its close the master of
ceremonies declared the banquet at an end.
LONG VIEW.
Two Serious Accidents frcm Foolishly Hand-
ling Shotguns—Prohibition to Ba Dis-
cussed—Stole a Guitar.
Losgview, Tex., June 23.—Yesterday af-
ternoon, at Kilgore, a girl named Florence
Hughes shot Martin Walker in the head and
face with a heavy charge of squirrel shot.
She had the proverbial "unloaded gun" in
her hands and pointed it playfully at
Walker, when to her amazement it went off
and Walker stands a fair chance of dying.
All colored.
Another shocking accident occurred on
Wednesday near Lagonia Chapel, eight
miles northeast, in Harrison county. A
young negro man named Frank Mclntyre,
aged about 10, had returned from a fruitless
hunt, and was handling his gun, pointing it
at various objects, when it was accidentally
discharged and the load blew half the head
off of an infant sister his mother was nurs-
ing, and wounded the mother in the left
breaEt and shoulder. Were an additional
element of horror needed in this incident it
is lent by the fact that the day before the
father had died suddenly. The youth
after the tragedy walked about apparently
nconcerned. The mother is not in danger.
Congressman Crain will speak here July
2 and will, if he can change his route, as
be possibly may, be hereon the Fourth also.
The negro prohibitionists will have a barbe-
cue on the Fourth. Bishop George of
Georgia will speak.
Hugh Armstrong (colored) is alleged to
have borrowed a guitar from a colored
friend, Emanuel Boss, a fellow-workman
at the junction coal-chute. Hugh sold it to
one Watts, a colored barber, for $2. He sold
it to Mr. McQueen for $3 50. He traded it
to Mr. J. T. Poe for a $12 gold ring. Boss
wanted his guitar, traced it up and Arm-
strong fled but was arrested this morning
at Kilgore.
FIDELITY RATIONAL BANK.
The Beceiver Appointed Will Probably Decline
—The Chamber ol Commerce Investigation.
Cincinnati, O., June 23.—Mr. DeCamp,
who has been named as receiver of the Fi-
delity bank, will probably decline, as the
acceptance would compel him to give up
his present connection with the Metropol-
itan National bank. If the president and
directors can be assessed to the extent of
their resources they will produce about
$l,SOO,CCO, at a rough estimate.
chamber of commerce charges.
The board of directors of the chamber of
commerce at a meeting held to-day ap-
pointed a committee, composed of Levi C.
Goodaie, Ralph Peters and Wm. L. Hunt,
to investigate the rumors of the unraercau-
tile conduct on the part of E. L. Harper,
Baldwin, Hopkins and others connected
with the Fidelity National bank, and to
prefer charges against them in case the
prcof warrants such proceedings.
claims next to worthless.
Chicago, 111., June 23.—The clearing-
house committee held a meeting last eve-
ning, and made a close examination of the
American Exchange National bank's af-
fairs. The bank presidents are also said to
have met, and after looking over the bank's
statement were entirely satisfied it was sol-
vent, and decided to render it any assist-
ance it might need. The bank paid its clear-
ing house balance this morning, and was
able to attend to all business as usual. The
bank's losses by the closing of theCincin-
nati Fidelity is stated on good authority at
$27S,0U0, the claims against the Fidelity
being regarded as next to worthless.
only general instructions sent.
Washington, June 23.—At the office of
the comptroller of the currency it is said
no irstructioss have been sent to Cincin-
nati for the arrest of the officers of the Fi-
deliiy bank beyond the general instructions
sent to the examiner there to take every pre-
caution to prevent the escape of any officers
who may be criminally guilty. It is custom-
ary for bank examiners in such cases to as-
sociate themselves with the district attor-
ney, whose duty it is to secure the neces-
sary arrests. The only late information
received at the department from Cincinna-
ti is that the examiner is i making satisfac-
tory progress with his report.
THE CHICAGO BRICKLAYERS.
Hundreds of Men on the Bagged Edge Will
Leave the Organization.
Chicago, 111., June 23.—The affairs of the
Bricklayers' union are rapidly approaching
a crisis, and to morrow night's nieeting is
liable to be an exciting one. [The German
element has become disgusted with the
management of the Multraney-Minitor-
Pearson clique, and will make a determined
effort to unseat them from their present
prominence in the union.
At a recent meeting at battery D, it was
decided to send delegates to tbe amalga-
mated trades council. But this decision
has been nullified by the officers of ttie
union. As a consequence other trades
have been almost hostile to the bricklayers,
and some are openly working to defeat
them in the present strike.
The hod carriers, lathers, carpenters,
plasterers, derrickmen and steam-Sttersare
now working upon buildings with non-
union bricklayers, and decline to strike at
the request of the walking delegates of the
Bricklayers' union.
Late yesterday afternoon nine pressed
brick masons called upon the ex-
ecutive committee of the master masons
and announced their readiness to go to
work. They told the committee that hun-
dreds of men were upon the ragged edge
and would leave the union before ttie end
of the week. The cause of this wholesale
desertion is found in the fact that the funds
in the bricklayers' treasury are exhausted.
President Volkeller informed all appli-
cants yesterday that there would be no
money until Friday. Hundreds of men
have never received a cent of assistance
and are charging that favoritism has been
shown in the distribution of money.
The sidewalk in front, of Greenbaum's
building was crowded all day with an ex-
cited body of men, and the tenor of their
remarks wer6 not favorable to the leaders
of the union.
BEMOCBATS IN WA8HISGT0N.
The Presence ol Many Leading Democrats In-
dicate that a Caucus is to be Held.
? Washington, June 23.—The Star to night
says: The presence of many prominent
democrats in Washington just now seems
to lend color to the rumor that there is to be
a conference with regard to the party pol-
icy, revenue reduction, etc. Among the
leading democrats now here are Senators
Harris, Ransom, Cockrell, Gorman, Brown,
Call, Pugh, and Jones of Arkansas; Repre-
sentatives McCreary, Holman, Wilsou of
West Virginia, Crisp and Governor Knott
of Kentucky. There are many others here,
and it is said Speaker Carlisle will arrive
eood.
filax ilarcus Commits Suicic'.c.
New York, June 23.—Max Marcus, aged
50 years, advertising clerk in the Daily
News office, blew his brains out this morn-
ing. There was no one in the office at the
time but the office boy, who, hearing tue
shot, rusted to the f-cene and found, the
body Etretched on the floor. Death re-
sulted almost immediately. Marcus was a
widower and leaves a grown-up son and
daughter. This is the second in the Daily
Neyra office within the past four years.

subscribed to erect in Windsor a replica of
the famous Glasgow equestrian statue of
the prince consort. The queen will lay the
foundation stone of the new statue July 14.
Any surplus remaining over will be de-
voted to some charitable object. Lady
Strafford made the presentation. The do-
nors include nearly all the titled ladies of
the kingdom, many of whom were present.
The German crown prince, on behalf of
Emperor William, presented a marble

many and medallions of the emperor and
empress.
The king of the Belgians presented a

titles to be created and conferred.
Among the peers to be created are Sir
John Stanburne, a liberal unionist mem-
ber of parliament for the Stives division of
Cornwall; Mr. Henry William Eatou, a
conservative member of parliament for Co-
ventry, and Mr. Edward Fellowes, a co-
pious contributor to the conservative elec-
toral fund, and formerly member of parlia-
ment. Baron Londests will be made an
earl. The Earl of Strathmore, now a
Scotch representative peer, and Viscount
Galway. an Irish peer, will be made peers
of the United Kingdom.
The title of Baron will be conferred on
thirteen persons, including Sir Algoron
Borthwick, editor and proprietor of tha

LftDgenburg and Prince Louis of Batten-
burg will be decorated with the grand cro33

A long list of minor decorations will also
bo conferred.
The Pall Mall Gazette says the list is "a
job lot," the choice of persons for elevation
to the peerage beiDg especially disappoint-
ing-
"Lord Salisbury," says the Gazette, "has
no excuse of expediency, for his creations
are not even of importance enough to be
worth kicking upstairs. The omissions
from this shabby list are more striking
than its contents. Where is the baronetoy
which was to immortalize the proprietor of
the seal of nnionlsm, the Daily Tel«graph?
Where is the peerage which was to have
sheaabalo of royal favor over that sole
pillar of an imperiled people identified with
Parnellism and crime?"
^the children's fete. ^
' At the children's fete in honor Of the
queen yesterday at Hyde park 30,000 little
ones were present arrayed on the great
lawn and made a pretty picture.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, and
sons and daughters, accompanied by a num-
ber of royal guests, visited the park dttviug
the fete. The children at once freed them
selves from restraint, broke the rope bar
riers, and rushed pellmelltoward the visit-
ors, and packed themselves in solid groups
around them. All etiquette vanished, and
the priDce and princess, who seemed de-
lighted at their position, mixed among the
children with perfect freedom and pleas-
ure. All at once the children began sing-
it.g God Bless the Prince of Wales. They
sang In every key, but the earnestness and
enthusiasm made up for the lack of har-
mony. The visitors then made their way to
the platform erected for their accommoda-
tion.
The queen soon arrived. When an-
nounced that she was coming the children
massed themselves in an orderly manner
along both sides of the joad over which her
majesty's carriage passed and moved with
it toward the stand, where assembled bauds
were playing the national anthem, while
the children all sang with good effect. The
queen reached the stand and ascended t'ae
platform while the music was proceeding.
At the conclusion she presented a memo-
rial cup to a little girl who had been se
lected to represent all the children assem
bled.
When the queen departed the whole as-
sembles^ sang Rule Britannia.
Mr. Gladstone, Lord Derby, and Lird
Spencer were present* A number of aris-

ASSOCIATION OF TBiVELSUS.
Employers aa Honorary Members—Membership
Not Confined to Males—Salaried Officers
St. Louis, Mo., June 23.—The Travelers'
Protective association discussed amend-
ments to their constitution most of yester-
day and made some progress. The ques-
tion which provoked the most discussion
was the one to make employers members of
the association, one side claiming that the
influence of the merchants was needed,
while tbe other side feared that by admit-
ting them the association would lose its
distinctive character as a traveling men's
organization. The matter was finally com-
promised by a vote of almost two to one to
admit merchants who employ traveling
men as honorary members. The proposi-
tion to insert the word "male" in the ar-
ticle on membership was sat down upon
heavily and defeated promptly.
An amendment to attach a salary to the
office of president, so as to enable that
officer to devote all his tim/3 to the interests
of the association, was adopted by a round
majority, and the sum of $2000 was fixed a3
the amount of salary.
Another amendment was adopted author-
ize g state secretaries to collect tho aunual
assessment, instead of, as now, requiring
them to bo sent to the secretary annually.
Several other amendments of less im-
portance were adopted, and quite a num-
ber of propositions were rejected, after
which the convention adjourned.
The delegates were regaled with a ban-
quet at the Lindell hotel, and they had a
loyal good time.
ALL IS HOT HARMONY.
The Socialistic Labor Party Think There;ls Too
Much Georgism in tSie Platform.
New York, June 23.—It appears that all
is not harmony just at present in tho ranks
of the united labor party, as far as social-
ists are concerned. They think the plat-
form contains too much Georgism, aud at
the convention of the united labor party to
be held in Syracuse, August 17, efforts will
be made to have a number of planks in-
serted which will be prepared by the social-
istic l»bor party.
To prepare for this a pamphlet will be
issued in a day or so by the national execu-
tive committee oE the socialistic labor
party, the author ot which is Lawrence
Gronlnnd, who has writton several works
on socialism. The pamphlet is an attack
on the theories of Henry George.

Fvobnb.y no form of disease is so generally dis-
tributed among our whole population as scrofula.
Almost every individual lias this latent poison
coursing his veins. Tho terrible sullorings en-
(lured by those afflicted with scrofulous sores
cannot be understood by others, and their grati-
tude on finding a remedy that cures them, aston-
ishes a well person. The wonderful power of
Hood's Sarsaparilla
in eradicating every form of Scrofula has been bo
clearly and fully demonstrated that it leaves no
doubt that it is tho greatest medical discovery of
this generation. It is made by C. 1.1IOOD & CO.,

Stevenson, Youkers, X. Y.
I have used Ayer's Cathartic Pills, in
my family, for ten years. They are
pleasant aiid safe to take, and agree with
MY CHILDREN
better than any medicine known to me.
For stomach, liver, and Ixnvcl complaints,
I consider AVer's Pills unequalled.—
Mrs. Helen H. French, Jackson, Mich.
I have used Ayer's Pills for over twenty
years, and am never without them. As :i
family medicine they are unsurpassed.—
Jefferson S. Tennis, New Hampshire, O.
i I have used Ayer's Tilto many years, in
mv practice and in my family, and have
found them entirely satisfactory as a
cathartic medicine. —George E. Waller,
M. D., Martinsville, Va.
Ayer's Tills are made from the con-
centrated extracts and active remedial
properties of purely vegetable substances.
They are therefore more effective and
safer than pills made by the ordinary
process, with powdered drugs. **I have
used Ayer's Pills from childhood. They
have Ueen my family medicine for years,
and never fail to give perfect satisfaction.
— Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury, Mass.
Aycr s Cathartic Tills arc considered a
household necessity to mv customers, and
always give perfect satisfaction. Our
BEST PHYSICIANS
invariably use them in tlielr practice —
Calvin Tilton, Druggist, Allendale, Mo.'
We have used AVer's Siifrar-Coatod nils
many years, and think them a very safa
and excellent family aperient.—A. B.
Foster, Children's Home, Westviile, Conn.
For tho past five years I was seldom
free from the torturing pains of Neu-
ralgia. At last I discovered a remedy
iu Ayer's Cathartic Pills, which not
only afforded immediate relief, but have
completely cured me. — Mrs. Lemuel N.

granite for tho new capttol, the proportion ot
sickness decreased In a few months from 13 to
4 per cent, aecoidlrg to the certificate of the
State Physician. Commencing at Marble Falls

fifteen miles, with an average width of six
miles, is Backbone Valley, the largest river

tends a beautiful and picturesque scope ol!

groves of postoak, ltveoak and fine mountain
cedar and growing an abundance ol mesqulte
glass, the best and most nutritious wild gras»
native to the State. These hills and ridges,
which are well watered by small streams ana
spiings, and which form a grazing country un-
surpasted In the State, make the entire
cc.untry eurroundli'g the city one of superior
