DIRECTORY OF CONGRESS.
A COMPENDIUM OF INFORMATION
ABOUT NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Biographical Sketches of the Senators and
Representatives From Te xas as Pre-
pared by Themselves.
Washington, May 13.—[Special.] The di
rectory of the Fifty-third congress is just
out. Usually this book is not issuod till ' the
session commences, and then there are gen-
erally several editions issued. This is made
necessary by the changes of residence, changes
on committees, etc. Ordinarily the book is
consulted to find out the location of a con-
gressman or his placo on a committee, but it
is extremely interesting from the variety of
information it discloses. These directories
havo been issued for many years and are now
well nigh perfect. At the beginning they were
not much larger than an ordinary school
primer, but now they havo assumed tho size
of a most respectable volume. Then they
gave the residence or location of the congress-
men with a vory scant biographical sketch.
Now every man's residence is given, tho com-
mittees to which ho belongs, with his stand-
ing in them, clear and concise biographical
sketches, the name of the district or state ho
represents and in the case of the former
the names of the counties in it,
his opponent in his last race
and the number of votes pollod with his ma-
jority. This last edition gives a map of each
of the states divided up into congressional
districts, all properly numbered. This vol-
ume, too, gives the biographies of tho presi-
dent, vice president and memborsof the cabi-
net, and of the members of the supremo court.
The residences of all are given also. It like-
wise contains tho names of all the circuit
judges, with their districts defined, and of tho
judges of the court of claims and of the inter-
state commerce commission. The names of
the representatives of foreign powers resident
in Washington are given with their resi-
dences, and a complete list of
OUR MINISTERS AND CONSULS
with the names of their posts is contained in
this volume. In fact it is almost a blue book,
differing from it only in its omission of the
salaries and the names of the smaller officers
of the government. The biographical sketches
are furnished by tho subjects of them, and
vary in style according to the disposition of
the "statesman" furnish,ng them. Some are
retiring in their character; some are rather
boastful and impudent. In the case of the
northern men, particularly the republicans,
military records are dwelt on at length. In
the case of populists that independence which
made them break away from the old parties
is dwelt on strongly. Generally, and it is
natural, that which the congressman is proud-
est of he puts in his biography.
Texas will havo thirteen members of the
coming house, sho having received two addi-
tions to hor delegation under tho census of
1890. The new re-apportionment rosulting
from that census landed several new men in
congress, and their biographies, with thoso of
the older members, as given in the directory
just published, may oe interesting. I will
quoto literally from said directory as follows:

GIRLS IN THfci COUNTRY,
STORIES OF EARLY TEXAS.
THE LAST VISIT OF WILD INDIANS
TO THE OLD CAPITAL
A Talk About the Desira to Bush Off to
the Bie Cities.
Oak Hill, Tex., May 11.—"I can't see why
it is so many girls ace becoming dissatisfied
with tho country and country occupations,"
said a lady, a resident of Boston, Mass., until
recent yoars, to The News correspondent a
fow days since. "Only last evening a young
lady teacher said to me that this was her last
term in the country; she was going to tho city
to seek a situation as clerk or newspaper se
porter; 'the duties are not near so arduous as
teaching.' sho said. She had never done
either, of courso, but said she had a friend
there clerking, who was doing splendidly and
had only one person to please, 'while I,' she
sighed, with an air of martyrdom, 'have the
wishes of a large community of ignoran'
crackers to cate.' to, who can not appreciate
an educated person. In tho city I will meet
congenial company, while life here is a per-
fect boredom.'
"Such expressions seem very foolish to me,"
continued the Boston woman, "who has spent
the greater part of my girlhood behind Bos
ton counters. I lived so long by tho clock
and the word 'hurry' that when a happy
chance brought mo to Texas six yoars ngo I
think I must havo felt like a bird that had
long been confined in a cage suddenly set
free. Yet my circumstances were better than
the majority of laboring people there, who
live, as it were, from hand to rnouth. If they
get sick or die they are rarely missed by their
employers; there are plenty ready to drop
into the vacancy. It is a perfect rush for
more existence.
"But experience only will teach some young
folks the folly of going off to town unneces-
sarily to seek employment when there are so
many more healthful and independent occu-
pations in the country."
The Massachusetts woman practicos what
she preaches, and, besides her many other
dutios, cultivates a garden that anyono would
bo justly proud of. Sho has, with limited
ineanB but rare taste and artistic skill, mado
an ideal home, and finds time to enter into
the innocent country amusements, of which
she is very fond. Her mission Sabbath Bchool
hero, betweon tho older eastern settlements
and borderland, which sho organized last
fall, has grown from a very few to 125 pupils,
and many difficulties she has had and stil
has to contend with. Though religious privi-
leges exist for tho Americans, the Moxicans
havo boen totally overlooked and negloctod
religiously heretofore.
She believes that there is as much mission-
ary work near her own door as she can con-
scientiously do juBtice to, and is a strong ad-
vocate of tUo theory that one's first duty is
that which lieB nearest to them.
Baby's Fatal Fall.
Ten a it a, Tex., May 12.—The 6-months-
old babe of J. J. E. Gibson was accidentally

The Great Indian Fighters, Hays and Burle-
son—Mrs, Houston's Wonderful In-
fluence Over Old Sam.
For The News.
Galveston, May 12.—Somo time after our
return from Torrey's trading post, about
which I wrote in my last communication to
The News, a small bund of Indians came to
Washington to see General Houston. I do not
remember how many tribes were represented
in this band, but I do remember that there was
one Cherokee chief among them whom I
think General Houston had eithor known per-
sonally or had known some of his people.
General Houston gavo him a vory cordial
greeting and seemed vory glad to see him.
They met on the front; gallery of General
Houston's house, which was a welcome ho did
not accord any other Indian. I do not now
roinomber whether ho was invitod into tho
house or not, but rather think that he was not.
All of this band tented near the house in
which the general lived. I remember also
that one of the tribes was very filthy and far
below any that I' had soon before: for in-
stance, I saw ono squaw searching the head of
another, and as sho caught tho vermin she
would eat them. I had nevor seen this done
before, and of course it produced an impres-
sion which has been iasting. This same
squaw had on a skirt of old faded calico,
which came down to the kees. Sho was bare
from the waist up and was tattooed on her
breasts and cheeks. She was tho only Indian
I ever saw who was tattooed. There was also
an old Comanche woman and man among
them. If there ever was such a thing as a
witch, this old woman would certainly fill the
bill; she was old and wrinkled, near-
ly half bent, with black, spark-
ing, cunning, restless eyes, nevor still;
long hair streaked with gray fell partly over
her bony face, neck and shoulders and with
long bony arms and Angers, sho was the most
witch like human being that I ever saw. Hor
tent was as much of a curiosity as hor self; to
make it sho had gathered a number of
switches about as largo as a man's thumb.
These she stuck in the ground in the form of a
circle about four or five feet in diameter and
bent all the tops together in the center and
secured them with a leather thong, making
the frame work about four feet high. Over
this she threw her butfnlo robes, leaving an
opening about two feet square for an en-
trance. On the ground sho also placed a
bullalo robe for a floor covering, which
MADB IT A VElilTAHLK DEN.
Through the opening she would have to
creep on her hands and knees to gain entrance,
and by puliing to a little tlapovor the doorway
she would seclude herself at night. Sho was
an inveterate gambler, would sit for hours
and gamble with other Indians, and if pro-
perty is a mark of success, she was quite so,
for she had three or four pouies in her posses-
sion. Sho was also quito a collector of old
iron hoops and bits of iron that could be used
in making arrow heads. She never passed
any such things by, but would gather them to
her tent for future use.
The lodges of the other Indians were very
different from hers, and one accustomed to
soeing them could tell at a moment to what
tribe they belonged. The Comanche man was
a lighter colored Indian than any I had seon,
and looked to be more intelligent than the
ordinary Indian. He was dressed in tho or-
dinary buckskin leggins, moccasins and other
paraphernalia that goes to make up the wild
Indian's costume. These were the last wild
Indians that ever came to Washington
TheLipans and Tonkawas sometimes came
in. They wore always friendly with Texas,
and did good service in helping to drive tho
hostile Indians from our border. The Tonk-
awas woro especially valuable to Texas as
spies and trailers, and rendered valuable ser-
vice to Colonel Jack Hayes and General Bur-
leson in their various engagements with the
Comanches. They were, though, cannibals in
their habits, and would insist on partaking of
a meal olf their enemios after every successful
engagement, Flacco and Castro were the fwo
principal chiefs of tho Lipans, and woro
looked on as generally friendly with the Tex-
ians when it was to their interest to be so, but
when they could take advantage without being
found out it was thought that they would
steal as quickly as any of the wild tribes. But
there is no doubt but that they rendered con-
siderable assistance to Texas in her time of
need.
The Tonkawas were under Placedo as chief.
He was
CONSIDERED RELIAIlLB AND FAITHFUL
under any and all circumstances, a friend
to Burleson and Hayes, McCulloch and all of
our famous Indian fighters. Whatever ho said
in regard to border affairs was considered re-
liable, and in a fight ho obeyed orders as well
as possibly could be done under tho circum-
stances. Hence, he had the good will and
confidence of all commanders. I do not now
romomber whatever bocame of tho Toukawas,
but the Lepans, after annexation, wont over
into Mexico, and from last reports there were
but a fow of them in existonce.
A word as to Colonel John C. Hays. His
history has been too ofton written for me to
attempt to add anything new, but I will mere-
ly note the impression ho mado on me tho
first time I had the honor of mooting him. It
was at a hotel in Washington; ho had impor-
tant business with General Houston, henco
his visit to that place, for he rarely over left
the frontier, and was seldom seon that far in
the intorior. I think it was the first and only
time that he ever camo to Washington. Gen-
eral Houston had groat rogard for him as an
Indian fighter and as a brave and honorablo
commandor. He was only a captain at that
time, and was considered one of the bost In-
dian trailers on tho border. The trailing
of Indians was considered of great im-
portance. In tha dry and rocky
portions of West Texas a squad of fifteon or
twenty Indians could vro through the country
without leaving much sign, consequently a
trailer was considered a very effective man.
This faculty Captain Hays had to a very
marked degree, it almost amounted to in-
stinct with him; he could ride along at a good
pace and soe the signs where other mon couid
see nothing, henco his great tact in overhaul-
ing and punishing Indians. It was said that
often he would dismount and observe thesmall
pebbles,, and by noticing the slightest displace-
ment made by the horses, could, in a moment,
tell in what direction they had gore.
To go back to my first impression of tho
man; after he had reg.stored, as I was stand-
ing near I looked over the book to see who
the new strauger was. Imagine my astonish-
ment at seoing the nnmo of J. C. Hays. I
thought that my eyes had deoeived me. Could
that
eMALL, BOYISH LOOKING YOUNGSTER,
not a particle of board on his face, homely
palefaced young man, bo the ventablo Jack
Hays, the celebrated Indian fighter, the man
whose name was suug with praise by all Tex-
ans? It could not be, 1 thought, but I soon
found out that it was tho veritablo Captain
Jack. As soon as ho registered he left the
hotel to transact his business; hes&imedto
follow the old adago, "business first, and as
soon as ho finished his businoss ho was off. I
think ho only staid one night and half a day.
Many mon whoso first visit to the seat of gov-
ernment with such a roputation as Hays
had would havo staid a month, if for no
other purpose than to be lionized, but it
scorned not to bo his disposition, but ho rather
preferred modesty to praise, somothing rarely
to bo found in a man those days.
General Burleson was another noted Indian
fighter whoso name und famo has already
been writton by many. Ho was vice presi-
dent of Texas during Gonoral Houston's ad-
ministration and presided over tho senate
when at Washington. General Burleson was
a good man, neighbor and patriot and was
always ready to respond to the call of his
country and ronder that valuable aid which
always soemed at his command. Ho could
always write as Caesar did, "veni, vidi, vici,"
for he scorned to be ono of fortune's favorites.
Ho was never whipped, aithough ho had fre-
quently to contend with superior numbers.
It does seem that somo mon are born to com-
mand, though nature cast them as to looks in
oidinary molds. Neither Burleson nor Hays
was fine looking, and in fact none of our
celebrated fighters would be considered more
than ordinary looking.
"Old Rip" Ford, I believe, was tho best look-
ing one of the lot, but when it camo to brave-
ry, patriotism, skill and all the excellencies of
character they had their share to overflowing.
I would not detract ono iota from any of tho
bravo mon of Texas, but as I am trying to
write of what I saw and heard in
THE DAIiix DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC
I must be allowed the privilege of fairly re-
cording tho scenes and events in which I part-
ly participated, and if I should unintentionally
wound the feelings of any I am perfectly will-
ing to make amends.
I recolloct well Mosea Evans (alias "The
Wild Man of the Woods"). This man was at
one timo famous all over Texas and a great
many of the statds. He was tall and raw-
boned, had light hair, almost rod, and
wore a long, fiery red beard, which
he divided and plaited, and usually tied the
ends with narrow red or blue ribbon. Ho was
very eccentric and in somo respects was a
marvelous man. Though ho could neither
read nor write his occupation principally was
the location of lands. Ho could ordinarily
tako a number of certificates and got them
located, number and divido the surveys, keep
each man's papers to thomsolves and having
everything attended to as if he know all the
intricacies of surveying. All this he kept in
his mind and rarely ever mado a mistake. His
usual charge for such work was one-half tl.e
land, and by following this occupation ho
became well off in land. In his youngor days
he spent tho most of his timo in tho woods
with surveying parties, and this was the way
in which he acquired the name of the "Wild
Man of tho Woods." In his older days
he kept bar iu Washington, and in
the way of bookkeeping he was an
oddity. On the wall behind tho door of his
drinking houso he had a character which
stood for the name of every man who drank
at his bar. After any of his customers took
their drink he would mark it down against
him with a piece of chalk in the character
which stood for his name. I havo seen col-
umns in different newspapers filled with de-
scriptions of this man, written both in prose
and verse. He was vory vain and would al-
ways be well pieased with such notices. He
was one of a party which wont to Durango,
Mexico, for the purpose of stirriug up a revo-
lution. The party was defeated. Evans was
shot on tho front of the shin bono and disabled
so that ho could not travel. His friends left
him and thought that would bo tho .ast of
him, but he hid himself in the brush and
subsisted as best he couid until his leg healed
sufficiently to enable him to travel, which he
did at ni/£ht. Being a good woodsman, he
would travel by the stars as woil as an ordi-
nary man can with a compass, and -finally
made his way homo and never afterward en-
gaged in stirring up rovolt.
I will return now to
GENERAL HOUSTON AND MRS HOUSTON.
The latter was tall and of fine figure, hand-
some and intelligent, had tine opportunities
in her youth and had taken advantage of
them. She was well educated, was a good
writer of verse. She would havo graced the
household of any man, be he president or
prince. She was, I think, a brunette, would
weigh about 115 or 120 pounds. Sho wai
modest and unassuming and would have takeu
rank with the highest ladies of the land of the
present day. She, by hor great good sense
and excollent management, had gained com-
plete control over the general, and it svas to
her that we owe as great a debt of gratitude
as to the general himself, for it was ow-
ing to hor wonderful influence over him
that Texas received the benefaction of
his great mind. After he married her
he quit all of his old habits of dissipation
and bocame a new man. I know of but ono
debauch that tho general indulged in while
serving as president his second term. This
was when Mrs. Houston loft him to visit her
sister, Mrs. Bledsoe, and mother, Mrs. Leo,
then living on tho Trinity river. Ho found
somo good old Madeira wine in town and
could not resist the temptation without her
protecting arm and ho succumbed to the old
habit. But it did not last long, for he soon
followed her, and once with her tho tempta-
tion fled. While under tho influence of wine
he was very self-willed; for instance, on a cer-
tain day as ho was lying on a tine bedstead,
he conceived an idea that ono of the posts
obstructed his breathing, so he made his ser-
vant bring in an ax and cut tho post off even
with tho bed. This was the first
time that I ever saw him under tho
influence of any kind of liquor, and I dare say
that if Mrs. Houston had been at home this
would not havo occurred. After having staid
several months at my father's, and as Mrs.
Houston desired the care and assistance of her
mother, they took a nice little cottage in the
suburbs of the village, near my father's house,
into which they moved, and in this cottage, if
my memory serves me right, young Sam was
born. After Sam's birth, tho general had the
fact communicated to General Jackson.
There was no man living whom General
Houston would rather participate with hiui in
his joys than General Jackson, for ho looked
on him with as much reverence and esteem as
if ho wero his own father, and during all the
lives of tho two illustrious mon a constant
corrospondonco was kept up between them.
And I have no doubt but that General Hous-
ton gained much by the able counsel of Gen-
eral Jackson. Bo that as it may, I have no
doubt but that tho old hero had some hand in
tho
NAMING OF YOUNG SAM
for from what could at time bo caught in con
vorsation, it was the desire of General Hous-
ton to name the boy for the old horo.
WThen tho general and Mrs. Houston wont
to housekeeping they had every thing as plain
as could well bo, for the gonoral said that ho
and tho government wero too poor to indulge
in any unnecessary luxuries, and when order-
ing his bill of goods from Now Orleans for tho
purposoof fitting up his house I happened to
be present and hoard his instructions givon to
Mr. Bryan, who I think was acting as our
consul thero, not to sond any "curtain
calico, which had stampod on it either
tho figures of stud horses, wild boars or
poacocks." His dress, when walking tho
streets of Washington, consistod of a hunting
shirt of linsey woolsoy checks, a common
pair of pants, I think of osnaburg—■of this I
will not bo positivo, but if not, something
almost as cheap—a broad brimmed hat of a
smoky color, with fur naps half an inch long.
The hat was a very fine one and ho woro it on
Bovoral occasions when his bost pictures woro
taken. His footwear was a pair of russet
shoes without strings. This was his almost
daily garb during his early administration.
Of courso tho general had bettor. It was for
thus seeing him dressed in his overy day garb
that none of us knew him on the day that ho
rode up in such martial stylo to havo his first
talk with tho Indians at tho treaty grounds,
Tho sultan of Turkey sent him
of clothes hs a presont, consisting of
a long flamiug rod robe of beautiful silk
which came to noar his ankles, pants of tho
rogular Turkish fashion, largo and buggy;
around the waist thoy would measuro several
yards. They woro intendod to bo gathered
around tho waist with a silk sash and not to
bo buttoned up and suspended from tho
shoulders as ho woro them. There was uot a
buttou on them. At tho lower extremities
shoes of yellow Turkish loather woro sowed on
to tho pants, and wero part and parcel of
them. They wero to be put on and taken off
as wore tho pants. Gonoral Houstou
nevor bo induced to try the pants on, but tho
robe was worn by him all summer
oftico. It was mado of tho finest silk
sultan also sent him a red fez to mako tho
suit complete, but this ho would nevor wear.

A NEW DISEASE.
A Startling1 and Important Discovery
in Medical Circles.
It has beer, known for several years to the
medical profession that Catarrh is capablo of
affecting nearly every organ and tissue of the
human body Catarrh was at first supposed
to be confined to the head and throat. After-
wards it became known that tho middle ear,
eye, stomach, bowels, liver, peivic organs,
lungs and heart were also subject to it. The
heart, like the othor organs mentioned, is lined
with a mucous membrane, which is subject to
catarrhal inflammation, giving rise to derange-
ments of tho heart, known as heart disease.
The mucous membrane lining the heart is
continuous with the mucous membrano lining
the vessels loading out from tho heart. That
this mucous membrane also is subject to
chronic catarrh has beon long suspected, but
not positively known until vory recently.
Chronic catarrh of tho mucous lining of the
larger blood vessels is qalled Arteryitis, and
constitutes the latest discovery in medical sci-
ence. People who are subject to chronic ca-
tarrh elsewhoro aro especially liable to it. It
is most provident in spring and early summer.
It produces blood derangements, skin erup-
tions, nervous affections and general prostra-
tion of the whole system. It is the principal
cause of a host of maladies peculiar to spring.
Tho fact that lJo-ru-na cures catarrh wher-
ever located, makes tins remedy a specific for
this diseaso. A thorough course of treatment
with Pe-ru-na affords the only reasonable
prospect of cure. Pe-ru-na euros by remov-
ing the cause. Doctors prescribe it, druggists
recommend it, and patients aro continually
praising it. It gradually eradicates chronic
catarrh from tho system, wherever it is lo-
cated.
A valuable treatise on this subject will bo
sent free to any address by Tho Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio.
