A union vocal society is being organ-
ized under the leadership ot Mrs. Everitt.
An opera will be rehearsed and presented
at the opera house some evening next
week. The society will meet Satuiday._
Herald. The Gazei ikkr has always
been aware that Mrs. Everitt was a pretty
successful music teacher, but being able
to drill an opera into an amateur vocal*
organization and have it ready tor pre-
sentation inside ot a week is a dexteriu
that it never gave her credit tor.
Mr. Louis jud&on will erect a hand-
some residence upon his tract ot land,

H. B. Andrews, traveling auditor ot the
Memphis & Little Rock, was in the city
Friday.
Phe members of the D. P. & S. Club,
and visitors, have been well entertained i
the past two Sunday’s. On the 2d, ad- j
dresses were delivered in the evening and
at night, by Mr. J. E. Remsburg, of
Kansas, a gentleman well-known to those
conversant with liberal literature as a
polished writer. His lectures were enter- \
taming, logical and instructive. The !
Senators 1 was crowded, and every one gave I
close attention. Last Sunday, the first |
anniversary ot the Society, the Club was
favored by a very interesting lecture bv \
Mr. J. 1). Shaw, editor of the Independ- ;
ent Pulpit, Waco. His subject was “The
Aims and Methods of Liberalism,” and
he handled it in a pleasing and logical j
manner. Fo attempt to give a synopsis
ot the address would but do an injustice
to the speaker, and to the subject. Mr.
Shaw is recognized the State over as the j
leader of liberalism in Texas, and no one ;
who reads his magazine, or has listened
to him on ihe rostrum can doubt his ;
sincerity. He is a man who expresses ]
his convictions fearlessly and never hesi-
tates to go into the arena and defend his
principles, Mr. Shaw has many warm
friend* in Denison. He has lectured here
times, ami 1ms audiences have ;
steadily increased each return. At night ;
the k luh met for the purpose'of electing i
ofln’ets tot the ensuing year. The busi-
ness being disposed of, an hour was spent ;
in general discussion of such subjects as
suggested themselves to the members.
Mr, Shaw treated the Club to an im-
promptu talk upon the best methods for
making such organizations entertaining
and profitable, during which he ga\e a
brief narrative ot his own experience, in
his struggle with the knotty problems ot
Methodism, which resulted in his con-
version to rationalism, and explained
how the liberal association, ot Waco,
was organized and conducted. The hall
was well tilled both afternoon and night,
and tv) borrow the language of the pro-
tracted meeting reporter, much interest
was manifested. The following are the
officers for the coming year; President,

ot musical tastes and inclinations in this
city, have agreed to be harmonious tor
once and have organized the Denison

VIRTUALLY 8L0URED.
The National Commercial College an
Assured Fact.
The meeting in the interest of the new-
commercial and normal college, which
met at the city hall Thursday night, had
an attendance that was not large but in-
fluential. Mayor Tone was called to the
chair and briefly announced the object of
the meeting. Judges Wilkinson and Gil-
bert and Mr. A*. R. jjollins then addressed
the meeting, pointing out the benefits to
be derived trom the establishment of an
institution like the one proposed, each
announcing it as his conviction that the
enterprise was not only a grand acquisi-
tion in an educational sense but also one
of the soundest financial undertakings
that had yet been placed within reach of
the city The general sentiment of the
meeting was that the college must be se-
cured and many vi-ho had already taken
from one to five scholarships raised the
amount of their investments in the enter-
prise.
Ur of. Roach, the moving spirit in the
undertaking, stated that in canvassing for
scholarship subscriptions singly, he had
beep at a very great disadvantage owing
to the large amount of labor and time
this task necessarily involved, and that in
order to achieve the results that the pres-
ent urgency of the case demanded, the
earnest co-operation and assistance ot the
people ivt Denison, in this part of the
matter, would not only be desirable but
necessary. There were still a large num-
ber of business and professional men
whom he had been unable to see and he
hoped that he might have the aid of some
already interested in the enterprise
in bringing the college matter to their
notice. Upon motion, the chair appoint-
ed the following committees to make a
thorough canvass of the citv and report
at a meeting to be held or 'Thursday eve-
ning ot this week:
First ward—T. J Crooks, E. J. Perry
and J. D. Ourartd.
Second ward:—F. R. Guiteau, C. T.
Daugherty and j. Schott.
Third ward—Dr. Nagle, S. E. Wertz
and J Doyle.
Fourth ward—Dr. Boothe, Mr. Cal-
houn and N. Decker.
At large—A. II. Coffin, J. A. Curl and
A. R. Collins.
For the countv—Graves Miller, P.
O’Donnell and J, J, Fairbanks.
These committees met Friday night at
the city hall to formulate plans tor the
soliciting campaign and will be around
Monday morning to prosecute the work.
Three hundred and twenty of the five
hundred scholarships have now been
placed and with active work on the part
; ot the committees above named the se-
curing ot the institution will be placed
beyond doubt. Prot. Roach states that
he hopes to have awarded the contract
tor the erection ot tire magnificent $40,-
000 building to be occupied bv the col-
lege ere the middle ot the coming month.

For some fitne there has been a report
on the streets that a chosen few ot our
citizens have come into possession of a
most wonderful discovery by means ot
which they are not only rendered perfect-
ly invulnerable to disea-e, but that
will preserve them in perfect health
until the human machine wares out, at
the age of a century or more, and then
that death will come so seductively that
the change from mortality to immortality
would be simply a tailing into a pleasant
sleep on earth to awake ‘a tull-fiedged
angel in heaven. This remarkable secret
to banish sickness and insure longevity,
purports to be the discovery of A. Wilfoid
Hall, M.D.and D D., the man who claims
to have proved science a fraud and scien-
tific men ignoramuses or hvpocrits, or
both. He has proven (taking his word
for it) that the undulatory theory ot
light, sound, etc., is false, and that “all
the forces ot nature, such as gravity,
magnetism, electricity, neat, sound, light,
as matter it-
to discuss
his scientific idiosyncrasies. It is his
heal-h preservative that we are dealing
with now. Whether A. Wiltord Hall’s
secret is really a discovery of his own or
not, the Gazetteer is not prepared to
say. Medical men insist it is not—that
the profession knew all about it before
Hall was heard of. Be this as it may, Dr.
Hall is apparently the first to bring it
prominently before the public, and he
has done so by charging $4.0.1 tor his 32- 1 parent,
page pamphlet which reveals it, at the
same time requiring a pledge ot the pur-
chaser not to give the secret away. This
is where we blame Wilford. If he has
discovered something which will cure the
sick, banish disease and increase long-
evity, he should not make it a source of
revenue, especially as he professes to be-
lieve that he came into possession ot it
providentially—that God revealed it to j
him when he was in the last stages of I
pulmonary consumption, that his life I
might be preserved to enable him to
knock accepted scientific principles into
a cocked hat and establish “substantial-
ism” on an enduring foundation. If a
man is so fortunate, or perhaps we should
say so blessed, as to receive a divine reve-
lation which is of such vital importance
to the whole human family, as he says
this is, it does look as if he was derelict
to the trust it he makes the revelation a
source of profit. But he isn’t the first one
who has done it, if history tells the truth,
and after all this may be a part of the
divine plan. Fortunately tor the world,
Wilford’s secret has leaked out- It’s no
longer necessary for the Invalid to pay
$4 00 tor a pamphlet which is not worth
to exceed 45 ren t, to learn how to get
well, or tor the good Christian man or
woman, who, though far town the slope
ot lite, isn’t in a huriy to go to heaven,
to piotiact his stay in this sintul world.
The Texas Health Journal, published at
Dallas, Texas, a journal which, bv the
way, cannot be accused ot violating med-
ical ethics, has given the snap away, and
the editor says he didn’t pay $4.00 tor it
either, and is under no obligation to
Hall or any one else, not to tell his
friends all about it. But he does say that
he has broken up several third-rate
preachers in business, whose principal
occupation was selling the 34-page pam-
phlet to the brethren at $4.00 a piece.
And, by the wav, Wilford’s agents seem
to be nearly all gentlemen ot the clerical
cloth, and what is still more remarkable,
nearly all ot his “certificates” (and he
has published hundreds ot them) eminate
from the same source.
Now, as the Gazetteer believes the
Hall secret possesses considerable merit,
when used judiciously, and as it is always
glad ot an opportunity to share its knowl-
edge with its readers, it takes the liberty
to copy the following expose from the
Health journal above alluded to:
“Inject up the rectum enormous quan-
tities ot warm water. For some diseases
the water is retained tor sometime—until
absorbed—in others it is allowed to pass
otf. The quantity used in each case de-
pends, ot course, on the abdominal
capacity ot the patient, even a gallon or
two being necessary in some instances.
No medicine used! All that is necessary
is a family syringe and plenty ot warm
water. With this method sore eves.Bright’s
disease, consumption, tt at, are cured.”
One gentleman informed the editor ot
the Health Journal that he had used four
quaits and one pint at a time, using the
treatment twice a week, and is in vigor-
ous health. , For kidney troubles, alter
washing out ^he colon as above, it is
j recommended to inject a quart or so ot
pure water and allow it to remain, and it
is claimed that it will be absorbed and
! pass otl through the kidneys, thus wash-
! ing them out also. The editor says he
| does not wish to speak disparagingly of
! the system, as it has been in vogue for
j centuries, but he is irreverent enough to
j term tt “Thompsonianism gone to seed.”
1 We know several persons in'Denison who
I have inreste i in the secret, and declare
I that they have been cured ot serious aii-
! ments thereby. One says he has been
j cured of chronic diarrhea.of manv vears’
i standing. Another, who thought he was
j on the high road to consumption declares
j himself cured: and so torth. Possibly,
j there is more in it than the medicine
j men are witling to confess. But ho mat-
| ter, the readers of the Gazetteer now
| know what it is and can experiment at
I their leisure. The svringe necessary tor
: the purpose can be purchased at any of
j our drug stores.
The Dallas Health Journal makes a
I feature ot giving away the secrets of the
1 patent medicine men and street doctors,
1 and nearly every issue has some very in-
I teresting matter in this line. It is much
j cheaper to pay $4 tor a year’s subscrip-
| tion to this journal than to patronize the
j Dr. Hall’s t( al., and the returns are
I much greater.
An Unjust Musical Criticism Recalled-
When the average country editor de-
scribes a musical performance he is
amusing; when he tries to criticise a
wiiter who is qualified to express an
opinion on such a subject he is amazing.
A little while ago the yth Regiment Band
of Greenville appeared in concert in this
city, and early last week our attention
was called to an article in the Greenville
Herald in which the following snort of
indignation is made at our notice ot their
performance:
That we had severely criticised the
Filth Regiment Band and had reflected
upon their music in a manner as boorish
and uncalled tor as it was false and spite-
ful. That the Greenville boys had no in-
terest in the concert save to render
triendly aid and that this being consider-
ed, the grossly insulting character of our
criticism is strikingiv apparent and that,
finally, we may be a very fine musical
and dramatic critic but that we are woe-
fully deficient in those essentials qualities
ot good breeding that are characteristic
of a gentleman who has a proper appre-
ciation ot the social amenities and com-
mon courtesies of every-day life.
Happily the few lines ot comment com-
plained of are easily referred to and we
turr to them to discover, if possible, the
gross insult, the boorish reflection anu
the absence of appreciation ot the social
amenities that are there so strikingly ap-
Here they are:
“The Greenville band was the most
numerous upon the stand and played at a
Considering the extreme vouth of the

much higher grade of music than their farmers ol Worcester county, MJ
associates, but in tone they were rather
dissonant and wiry and in attack a trifle
uncertain and lame. Their performances
were very carefully and intelligently con-
ducted however, and their attention to
piano and forte would have been credit-
able to any professional band. Their
numbers that met with greatest favor
trom the audience were a lignt opera
selection introducing gems from Nation,
Ermine, Mikado, etc , and a selection
trom IiTrovatore, having for its finale
the well-known and always popular anvil
chorus, both ot which were quite credita-
bly played.”
This was everv word that appeared in
these columns having reference to the
Greenville band's musical work. And
what should we have said? The Herald
man would have had us declare the tone
inspiring, the execution wonderful, the
ensemble faultless and tor the sake ot the
“social amenities’* place ourselves on
record as the champion ptactitioner* of
imbecile puffery. We did not cary to do
this, however, and gratifying as it would
have been to have escaped the editorial
vengeance of our village cotemporary we
do not regret having injected a small in-
gredient ot truth into that notice. Every-
day we are guilty of mendacity into
which we are driven by a consideration
ot the social amenities, but when it
comes to meriting the liar’s perdition in
order that a James Crow musical organi-
zation may shake itselt by the hand and
indulge in seif-congratulation we beg re-
spectfully to be excused. There are some
crimes of mendacity which are beyond
forgiveness, and saying that the Fifth
Regiment Band plays In tune we believe
would be one of them. We stated in the
notice quoted, that in tone the combina-
tion was rather dissonant and wiry and in
attack a trifle uncertain. Had we been
criticising instead of merely penning a
pertunctorv repoilwe would have been
compelled to pronounce the time notably
uneven and ragged, the harmony simply-
excruciating and the whole performance
dominated by a rough and ready disson-
ance that would have driven a person of
anything like sensitive audition into
cacophonous hvsterics. The at ention to
shading mentioned above was notable,
but the unearthly discordance (hair on
every note) ot those tones that came well-
ing out trom that phalanx of cornets,
altos, tenors and basses would have been
a fit accompanimen- to a reading ot
Dante’s Inferno. To the Herald man,
who was probably raised in a boiler fac-
tory, this kind of polyphonic nightmare

of the citv, got lull of the fluid that
| "stingelh like an adder” Monday, and
while trying to drive home was dumped
I out into the mud on South Travis ave-
nue, receiving a baptism of mud and a
few minor bruises. The team, left to its
own control, proceeded to bang the
wagon against all the trees and rocks
they could find along the road and when
there wasn’t any more vehicle let! to
bang they subsided into a quieter gait
and proceeded on their way home leav-
