not been done to any great extent

“hell” were left out of the exhorta-

Manufacturing industries don’t al-
ways pay the large dividends, the

per cent, last year.
One of the most respectable and
well conducted places of resort in
the city is the Cabinet saloon. The
proprietors, Messrs. Brown & Hoerr
have built up one of the most lucra-
tive trades in the city. They can
attribute their success mainly to one
fact, they have always kept only
first-class liquors. Their customers
embrace the best class of citizens.
They handle standard brands of
whisky. They have at present one
hundred barrels of whisky that is
over four years old and this is sold
oveT the city. No distinction is made
and no second bottle kept; all are
served alike. It is an indisputrble
fact that the Cabinet keeps the best
liquors in Denison. They have at
present a stock of fully 300 barrels
of whiskey, and not one brand of it
there is under three years of age,
and the oldest back four and five.
The Cabinet carries imported wines,
brandies, gins, etc., suitable for me-
dicinal purposes. The stock of se-
gars has been selected with great
care and .embody only the best
brands. They make a .specialty of
the fig leaf tobaccos and have other
brands. The Cabinet is in every
respect the model popular resort of
Denison.
THE DEATH BULLETIN.
New York, Feb. 0—2:50 p. m.
—The following official notice of
the death of Gen. Hancock, has just
been received:
Governor’s Island, Feb. 9, ’86.
Maj.-Gen. W. S. Hancock, of
the United States army, died at 3:35
this afternoon.
W. D. Whipple, Ass’t. Adj.-Gen.
PARTICULARS OF HIS DEATH.
Gen. Hancock’s death was the re-
sult of a malignant carbuncle on the
back of his neck, which had con-
fined him to his bed for several days.
No serious alarm was felt, however,
until shortly before he expired. The
news caused the profoundest sorrow
in commercial and financial circles,
as well as among business men gen-
erally. When the sad event was
known in the exchanges and at the
custom house, Bags were immedi-
ately ordered at half-mast. It had
not been generally known that Gen.
Hancock was ill, and his death was
unexpected. Gen. Hancock was in
Washington a week ago and was
obliged to return without paying his
respects to the president, the carbun
cie which caused his death having
made its appearance on the general’s
neck at the base of the brain.
Gen. Hancock was born in Mont-
gomery county, Pa., Feb. 14, 1824,
and lacked five days of rounding on
his sixty-second year at the time of
his death. At the age of sixteen
he entered West Point, and had as
classmates, Gen. U. S. Grant, Gen.
George B. McClellan. Burnside,
Franklin and C. F. Smith. He
served through the Mexican war as
lieutenant and was conspicuous for
gallantry at San Antonio, Cherubus-
co, Contreras, Molino del Rey and
at the capture of the City of Mexi-
co. He was brevetted tor gallantry
at the battles of Contreras and Cher-
ubusco. In 1S50 he was married at
St. Louis to Miss Almira Russell.
He was in all the important Indian
campaigns up to the time of the civil
war, when wider fields demanded
him. In all of the important en-
gagements of the war he was a con
spicuous leader, and at Gettysburg
chanced the fortunes of the day for
the tederal army.
L'pon the declaration of peace he
devoted himself to the restoration of
peace, indeed. In 1867 he was
sent to New Orleans in command of
the military division of Texas and
Louisiana, and remained in com-
mand until relieved at his own re-
quest in 1S68. It was in the trying
station of a military administrator ot

The Greenville Banner’s rule is
to charge five cents a line for obitu-
aries, tributes of respect, etc., “sent
in by lodges, churches, alliances,
grangers or any other organization,’
This is right, but why discriminate;
why not charge for such notices sent
in by individuals as well ? Obitua-
ries and “tributes of respect” are of
no interest to the general public as a
rule, and it looks very much like
imposing upon good nature to ask
publisher to pay compositors to pi
them in type, and then print themrto
the exclusion of valuable matter, al
for perhaps not even a thank-you.

THE GAZETTEER TOLD YOU 80.
Mr. Throckmorton Denies Having Favor-
ed Gainesville.
Hon. J. W. Throckmorton has
written the following letter to Dr.
Trolinger, of Whitesboro, which
corroborates what the Gazetteer
stated last week:
Washington, D. C.7
Feb. 2, 1886.
Dear Trolinger Yours of the
29th ult. received. I think I wrote
you a few days ago in regard to the
attack of the Sherman Register. I
regret to see the Whitesboro News
supplementing that falsehood. There
is not the slightest foundation for
the story in the Register. I have
written to no man or men in Bowie,
asking them to petition for Gaines-
ville. I have written and telegraph-
ed to Sherman that it was wholly
false. There are delegations here
now- from Denison, Gainesville and
Henrietta, Judge Hare of Sherman,
having recently left here. I have
said to one and all of them: “I can
take no part in your fight as to
where the courts shall be held. You
gentlemen go before the committe
and make your fight. Wherever the
committe agree to establish the.
courts, after hearing you all, and
when the committe reports I will fa-
vor that bill and do my best for it.
And not one of those delegations
can truthfully say that I have favor-
ed one place over the others. Nor
can the judiciary committee, or
members of Congress here, or any
man at home, at any of these places,
say so and tell the truth. You are
authorized by me to say it is false,
and I hope you will do so.
Yours truly,
J. W. Throckmorton.

Messrs. Slutzky & Paltrovitch are
always on the alert for anything new
iu their line of business. They
have just received a complete assort-
ment of the celebrated Burmese
ware which is all the rage at pres-
ent. The ware is decidedly the
handsomest thing that has ever made
its appearance in Denison. It is
the perfection of beauty, and the
crowning excellence of the manu-
facturing of glassware.
The color is a delicate rose amber
that enchains the attention and rivets
the gaze. The sets are complete,
embracing vases, finger bowls, cart
receivers, water pitchers, goblets,
champagne and lemonade glasses,
individual cream and sugar bowls
individual salt and pepper cellars,
also flower vases.
Do not fail to call immediately
and inspect this beautiful ware ; it
just what is needed for effect and
utility.
The Burmerse is very serviceable
and will be sold very low to intro-
duce the new- and elegant style into
this market.

SPORTSMENS COLUMN.
The past week has been such a lively
one In spoilsmen’s circles that we make a
chronicle of the doings of the disciples
of dog and gun.
Conductor Jsp Wilson, of the Pacific,
left Wednesday with his dog and gun for
Honey Spring tank, Creek nation. It
was in consequence of a letter from Dan
Moore, who wrote that game had not
been so plentiful In a number of years,
especially deer and turkey.
Col. J D. Yocom, C. P. Fox and Tom
Dollarhide left Wednesday for the Chick-
asaw nation. At the Bloomfield Academy
they were joined by Supt. Johnson. The
party were provided with several day’s
provisions. The famous camp cook,
Napoleon Leeper, accompanied the par-
y. The objective destination of the
party we did not learn. -
Mr. Essinger, who resides near Eagle
Lake, Chickasaw nation, was in the city
the past week. He states that the lakes
and marshes and the sand bars in the
river, are the resorts for countless thous-
ands of wild geese; the number defy
computation.
A man, mounted on a broncho, with a
pair of saddle bags, and a gun on his
shoulder, was seen leaving the city at
daylight Friday morning. The man was
l>r. Horace Milter en-route to the Terri-
tory to join Col. Yocom’s hunting party.
A number of persons have recently
asked the question, “Why don’t you give
us some mere of the sportsmen’s col-
umn?” We have complied this week,
and will continue this feature of the
paper at intervals. It is a character at
literature that can be made Interesting. A
large number of the leading citizens of
Denison are lovers of field sports, and It
is the pastime of the most cultured and
eminent people that have lived
Cspt. Lampkin U in the B. I. T. this
week after quail and sich like.
The boys will all miss Cspt. Jim Leav-
erton at the camp fire. Jim was a de-
lightful companion, and it makes us sad
to think that an inexorable fate has taken
him away from us.
Enoch Hughes has been in the field
nearly every day the past week, with his
dogs. He has killed more quail this
present season than any sportsman In
Denison.
The slaughter of quail in the vicinity
of Denison has been frightful this sea-
son. We may safely compute the num-
ber at over 3000, and ttill there seems to
be no diminuation in numbers.
J. T. and W. B. Munson are enthusias-
tic sportsmen and they are out every
week with their dogs and guns. Both
gentlemen are crack shots.
What has become at the field trial that
was to have taken place? This query is
directed to Col. Yocom, who
the ides. Give us the field
Yocom.
Our sportsmen’s column is published
this week at the request of a number ot
persons, and we hope that it will suit
them. We are now in the height ot the
hunting season, and shall endeavor to
keep pace with the exploits of our local
nfmrods.

his hunt to the Nation, Wednesday,
