Eibebs tor ice cream today.
Peaches on some trees around the
city are now as large as a partridge's
eggs.
In some parts of the city the side-
walks are still being blocked. At
one place half the width of the walk
is taken up.
The mayor is continuing the good
work of having the gutters cleaned
out and the city put in a thorough
sanitary condition.
The beautiful moonlight nights
have vanished, and spoony young
lovers are now sighing and asking
when shall moons like these come
TnEitE will be an apron party at
the residence of Miss Emma Davis,
in the western portion of the city,
on next Friday evening.
Tiie protracted meeting which has
been going 011 at the German Meth-
odist church for the past two weeks
has been brought to a close.
Mr. C. W. Hess has recovered his
horse. It was found 011 the other
side of Greenvine, and it is probable
that I10 was ridden off there."
Nancy Lockett, the old colored
woman, lias another one of her crazy
spells on her and has been locked
up in an old frame building back of
the county jail.
Dewberries are now rather plenti-
ful on the streets but exorbitant

half gallon.
From a letter received from Mr.
Tom Shannon, formerly of Inde-
pendence, the Banner learns that he
and his brother, W. A. Shannon are
now engaged in the mercantile busi-

John Drew, the lunatic who was
brought into town on Monday from
the .Washington precinct by Consta-
ble Ewing and disappeared while
the officer was temporarily absent,
has not been found yet and it is
thought that ho has skipped out
for good.
Notwithstanding the urgent invi-
tation sent them to hold their next
reunion here Brenham didn't get a
single vote when the veterans went
to select their next pluce of meeting.
Fort Worth and Temple were tho
only towns voted on and tho former
was chosen.
A Famous Hoax.
Mi*. Wm. Edmunds, of Waco,, who
is connected with the Houston and
Texas Central railway, is in the city.
Mr. Edmunds is an Alabamian and
was a classmate of Judge C. C. Gar-
rett's at Washington & Leo univer-
sity. While at college he won
national fame by a successful hoax
that he played. He was editor of
the "Collegian," the university po-
per, and he published a sensational
account of the burning of the
Natural Bridge, which was made
out of the whole cloth and «a pure
fiction, which none but the most
credulous were expected to believe.
In his account of the burning he
published a bogus certificate from
old Professor John Campbell, the
professor of the cheniisfry, in which
the learned professor was represent-
ed as explaining 011 scientific prin-
ciples how tho bridge caught fire by
the chemical action of water on the
limestone rocks. When tho Colle-
gian came out news of the burning
of Natural bridge spread like wild-
fire and the New York Herald tele-
graphed its Richmond correspondent
to send full particulars. Bofore the
hoax was discovered several patent
outside papers throughout the coun-
try had published flaming accounts
of the burning and in the same issue
011 tho local page had to contradict
it and posted Mr. Edmunds as the
champion Mulhatton of America.
Several of the metropolitan papers
pronounced it the most iugenious,
carefully prepared hoax ever perpe-
trated.
Extensive preparations had been
made for the celebration of Easter
Sunday at the Catholic church in
thiB city. The altar was beautifully
and tastefully decorated, and the
choir, assisted by Prof. Bickler and
Miss Nettie Estes, had arranged to
sing Farmer's mass, on which they
had been practicing for two or three
weeks. But at the beginning of the
mass Father Grabinger became sud-
denly ill and had to dismiss his con-
gregation. He is threatened with
symptoms of typhoid fever and has
gone to the hospital at Galveston
for treatment.

TnE Brenham Field Artillery had
a regular meeting at their armory
last evening.
The Deadly Kerosene.
How many accidents are con-
stantly occurring from using it for
starting fires. Like the loaded
gun, the user is always confident
that ho or she can handle it safely,
but tho sad results olten tell a
different story. There is, however,
a way to utilize korosene for this
purpose that is freo from danger.
Take an empty tin paint pail, pack
it full of corn cobs two inches long,
then fill it with oil, hang it up out
of tho reach of small children, and
whenever you want to kindle afire
take one of these cobs and with a
match and a little kindling wood
you can start a fire without trouble.
The cob of course will burn until
it is consumed, a long enough time
to sot on fire something a good
deal moro solid than paper or
shavings, hcnce none of these will
be required. Try it and see.
Soo that your kitchen stove has
a thorough cleaning msido and
out every two or three weeks.
Many times stoves aro blamed for
not drawing or baking well whon
they aro clogged up with ashes.
"One of you boys has been steal-
ing raisins again; I havo found tho

The Galveston semi-centennial
committee is utilizing tho freight
cars on the Santa Fe road to adver-
tise the coming celebration and mil-
itary encampment. Largo strips of
canvass are tacked onto the sides of
the cars announcing that the siege
of Paris, the battle of Sedan and
the reign of the communo will bo on
exhibition.
A colored man was on tho streets
bright and early on Tuesday morn-
ing begging subscriptions from citi-
zens. He said his name was Honry
Shaw, that ho lived on New Year's
creek and that ho lost everything he
had on Saturday night by his house
burning. When asked by the re-
porter whereabouts on New Year's
creek he lived he pointed in a direc-
tion south of town.
The county clerk issued one mar-
riage license yesterday, which was

The Galveston News of Monday
says : The Santa Fe train duo here
at 10:40 last night did not arrive un-
til about 1, a. m. They cr<,me in
minus of a mail agent. W. C. Wink
ler, of Corsicana, was the regular
agent on this run. Tho train crow
report that tho last seen of the
agent was at Brenham. No one
saw him leave the car at any of tho
intervening stations, and his disap-
pearance is a complete mystery.
Some colored people, men and
women, soem to devote half their
time almost to hawking subscrip-
tion lists around the streets and
begging for stray nickels and dimes
for this church and that at WatroUs-
ville and Camptown. Tho Banner
reporter having been frequently be-
sieged by them, wondered why the
churches Bhould always be in need
of money and instituted a lfttle pri-
vate inquiry. He learned that thoy
aro encouraged to beg and aro
offered presents of fine silverware
and other costly things as premi-
ums for those who succeed in beg-
ging the l&rgeBt amount.
Mr. W. M. Aven, who was elected
grand chancellor of the Knights of
Py-hias, says his position is not alto-
gether an honorary one. Since he
returned he has had about twenty-
five letters a day to write.
A great many able bodied colored
individuals are spending their time
on the creeks and branches fishing
for minnows while the farmers are
anxious to hire them to chop cotton.
