J. F. BALL, Proprietor.
Mr. George Martin, of New Cat-
tle, Penn., accompanied by several
ol his more enterprising neighbors,
arrived in the city last week, and
scattered out to see the country and
seize on the best chances in sight.
Mr. Marlin has engaged to run J. J.

John Groom, a man aged 40 years,
walked into the city Monday morn-
ing via the railroad track. He
claims to have walked to Texas
from a small town in Iowa named
Clear Fork, a distance of over eight
hundred miles. He displayed con-
siderable money and is not of the
tramp genus. He left Iowa on the
morning-of July 3d. He intends to
make a tour of Texas on toot, and
will probably visit Mexico. When
he gets through with his meander-
ings he will return home by rail,
die says the only proper way to see
a country is on foot.—Evening Jour-
nal.
The Fort Worth Publishing Com-
pany has disposed of the Fort Worth
Daily and Weekly Gazette, the
Texas Live Stock Journal and Texas
Wool Grower to Geo. B. Loving—
Fort Worth Gazette.
Mr. Loving is widely and favora-
bly known in this country as an
energetic and able newspaper man,
and under his management the Ga-
zette will doubtless increase in use-
fulness. The paper is said to be on
a solid financial basis, and it prom-
ises to continue its endeavors to
widen its field of action. It is a
deserving journal and we wish it
success in all its efforts.
Kev. Mr. Wolf took occasion to
allude to our venerable correspond-
ent, Dr. La Roy Sunderland, last
Sunday in his sermon, in which he
recognized his services in the M. E.
Church forty years ago, but said the
devil had seduced him into the paths
of error, and made an infidel out of
him. He paid the gentleman the
compliment, hotyever, of being a
man ot great ability, explaining that
the devil always selected intellectual
men to do his bidding. As Rev.
Mr, Wolf is supposed to have been
“called” to expound and make
plain Divine revelation, we should
like to have these gentlemen take a
tilt at each other in the columns of
the Gazettkbk, that our readers
may judge which has the best of the
argument. A discussion in which
one of the disputants was backed by
his Satanic Majesty would be novel,
and the result would be looked for
with a good deal of interest.
Secretary Folger Dead.
On the 4th inst., at 4:30, p. m.
Secretary Folger died at his home
in Geneva, N. Y., of general bebil-
ity. His death occurred very sud-
denly and there were very few pres-
ent at the time.
Yeidel’s is the most orderly place
in the city and the resort of our best
people.
In Full Blast, and What are Ton Going
to do Abont It ?
There is no use ot dodging facts.
Numerous gambling rooms arc in
full blast in this city, with no further
attempts at concealment. The po-
lice force know this as well as the
public, and are making no efforts to
close them. We haven’t visited the
second story of the White Elephant,
but that department has been bril-
liantly illuminated the past week,
and the frosted windows shed a mel-
low light on the gay hats of the po-
lice as thoy saunter serenely along
the sidewalk below, apparently utter-
ly oblivious to the active scenes
transpiring within.
The Mayor says he is powerless
to enforce the gaming ordinance, the
Marshal and his force utterly ignor-
ing his positive instructious to arrest
all violators, the City Attorney
says it isn’t his business to see that
laws are eniorced, and the City
Council say the same thing. This is
the present status of the case, and
the public can draw their own con-
clusions. It gaming is again ban-
ished from the city, the peopl e, who
are the highest tribunal, must rise in
their might and demand in tones
that cannot be misunderstood that
officers must do their duty or give
way for men with a keener sense of
moral responsibility and a higher
appreciation of the sanctity of the
official oath. The Gazetteer is
ready, in the future, as in the past,
to give what little influence it has to
the side of the law in this contest,
and whenever the citizens of Deni-
son see fit to call their official ser-
vants to task for neglect ot duly they
are assured of its hearty support
and co-operation. The trouble is
however, that we have too ma ny
policy men in Denison, and a silver
dollar held betore their eyes hides a
multitude of sins.
From Whitesboro.
Following is an extract from a
private letter from Whitesboro :
Our section of country is greatly
in need of rain, although we had a
shower a few days ago. But, not-
withstanding the unfavorable season,
the crops are about an average.
Our public school opened up on
the 1 st with a good attendance.
The business of our town is look-
ing up and the merchants think the
fall trade will be very good.
The candidates are now coming
around pretty often and they are the
friendliest fellows you ever saw.
There is considerable difference here
with reference to the several county
officers, but our people are strong
for Standifer. We instructed for
him at our precinct convention and
will vote for him at the election.
He is a young man, but he is active
and ambitious, and we believe in a
change anyway.
Louis Lebrecht received a case of
Corpral cigarettes.

THE H0U8T0H OONYEHTIOH-
The Republican State Convention Ad-
journs Without Making Nominations.
The Republican State Convention,
assembled at Houston, perfected its
organization by the election of the
following offices: Hon. A. J. Ro-
senthal, chairman ; Lock McDaniel,
secretary ; Henry, Koch, John Bass,
Frank J. Smith and W. M. Bam-
berg, sergeants-at-arms. A long
address from the Republicans of
Mitchell county was read, which
stated that the sentiment which
was prevalent in that portion ot the
State was that if a coalition was
made with the Greenbackers and
Independents Irelan 1 would lie de-
feated by 15,000 majority. E. J.
Davis of Galveston moved that the
address be accepted as representing
the Republicans of the state. This
motion was vigorously opposed, hut
after discussion amid some confu-
sion, was adopted and the conven-
tion adjourned without making any
nominations.
The convention accepted the Chi-
cago Republican platform and en-
dorsed the national ticket. Among
other things the following resolu-
tions were adopted :
Resolved, That we condemn the
present mode of drawing grand and
petit juries in the courts, that the
authority given by law to the judges
of said courts to select jury commis-
sioners was intended by the Demo-
cratic legislature that enacted said
laws to enable Democratic judges to
deprive Repunlican citizens of the
right to sit on the juries, and has
this effect in ail such districts and
counties, and we demand such a
change in the drawing of the juries
that all citizens, without regard to
color, shall have the right and privil-
ege to participate in the administra-
tion ot justice.
Resolved, That the Republican
party of Texas is pledged to the en-
forcement of all public laws by
which the wages of labor may be
secured to the laborer.
Resolved, that the delegates of
this convention pledge themselves
to support any independent candi-
dates for state offices in opposition
to the nominees of the late Demo-,
cratic convention. *
When the address of Mitchell
county was adopted as the senti-
ments of the Republican party of the
State, the delegations from Dallas,
Johnson, Runnels, Howard, Baylor,
Wichita, Wheeler, Rockwall and
Grayson counties withdrew from
the convention and held a caucas in
which they agreed to support A. B.
Norton for governor, and it is under-
stood that they will call a conven-
tion to meet at Austin soon to nomi-
nate him. We understand that
Jones has declared that he will not
vote for Butler because he is a dem-
agogue, nor for Cleveland because
he is not fit for the office, but that he
admires Blaine and thinks he is the
greatest statesman in America.
DON'T WANT IT STOPPED.
Councilman Fitzgerald, at the
Council meeting Thursday night,
again, as has been his custom for
several sessions, asked Marshal Hall
if the gaming ordinance was being
enforced. Hall stammered out that
he presumed it was as “they” came
up and paid their fines. Whom he
meant by “they” is only to be sur-
mised. An examination of the Re-
corder’s books shows, however, that
the proprietors of the establishments
where gaming is carried on publicly
have not only failed “to 96me up,”
but they have not been arrested at
all. Hall finally qualified his re-
marks by adding that he didn't
know that there was any gambling
going on in the city—that if there
was he hadn’t seen it! A man with
such defective vision should be re-
moved from office for physical disa-
bility. Every business man in town
knows banking games are running
every night in rooms over several
well known saloons on Main street,
brilliantly illuminated, and with no
attempt at concealment.
It is a noteworthy fact that when
Councilman Fitzgerald propounded
his questions to the Marshal Thurs-
day night, he was greeted with a
laugh from his fellow’ Councilmen,
as though such a question was a
huge joke. As soon as Marshal
Hall made his evasive answer, some
one moved to adjourn which was
carried.
There is no disguising the fact
that a majority of the Council favor
letter the gamblers alone so long as
they confine their business to second
stories, and as the Marshal and his
force cannot see after they ascend
a flight of stairs, unless the law
abiding citizens bring a different
leaverage to bear on their servants
than they have used yet, they
needn’t expect any reform in this
direction.
Louis Lebrecht has made arrange-
ments with one of the best Cuban
factories in the city of New York
to supply him regularly with fresh
Habana goods. He received the
first lot last Friday. The goods are
of a superior quality.

To the Sunday Gazetteer :
A PEEP AT 0ALYE8T0N.
To many of the readers of the
Gazettxbr a little pen view of Gal-
veston, the queen city of the gulf,
may not be uninteresting. As we
approach the gulf, at our right ap-
pears the quiet blue waters of Gal-
veston Bay, with its irregular shores
forming many little bays, presenting
a very picturesque and charming
view ; but our rapidly moving train
soon brings us to the channel, separ-
ating the island from the main land.
This channel is two miles wide at
this place. It is crossed by means ot
large spiles being driven into the
bottom of the channel, and thus
forming a road-bed ; near the Qenter
is a swing bridge for the passage ot
vessels. As we are crossing the
channel we see away to the
right the spires and domes of Gal-
veston, but on reaching terra firma
again, we find we have not yet
reached the city, but our train still
speeds away, and we find we have
crossed the channel some distance
below the city. A ride of a few
moments over somewhat marshy
looking ground^-during which we
are reminded that on a former visit
to this island, somewhere near here,
we saw a huge alligator nailed to a
telegraph pole-—and now as our en-
gine announces our arrival, by the
usual signal, we cannot help won-
dering if the signal of our arrival is
as painful to Galveston ears, as is
that of many an incoming train to
Denison ears. But we are soon lo-
cated, ready for a look at Galveston.
It is a pretty town, laid out in
squares, with broad streets, and in
many places outside the business
portion of the town, there is a per-„
feet hedge between the sidewalk and
the street, of the beautiful oleander,
which we in Northern Texas, are
obliged to keep in tubs, and house
in the winter : here they grow to
twelve feet and fifteen feet in
height; and quite a quantity of the
loyely pink blossoms greet us even
now’, the first of September. At our
former visit, in the month of June,
there was a glowing mass of bloom,
and delightful fragrance; and we
thought Galveston the most lovely
place we had ever seen. But we
don’t purpose to describe Galveston,
only to speak of some of its attrac-
tions, and first among these is its
lovely beach, and grand bathing
accommodations. ‘Take a street car,
(of which by the way there are le-
gion) which a notice hung upon its
side, “via Beach Ave., and bath
houses,” and after a ride of a mile
or thereabout, the blue waters of the
gult with their rolling white-capped
waves are before us. Charming
scene ; away, away, away, stretches
the broad expanse, rolling, rolling,
rolling, in its never ceasing flow;
and its grand, deep-toned roar, fall-
ing upon the eir. Sitting within
fifty feet of/where its blue waters
were bathing the sand, so smoothe
and hard as to seem like a marble
floor beneath our feet, and within
one hundred and fifty feet of the
singer’s stand,” in iront of the
grand Beach Hotel, where a con-
cert in open air is given every night,
except Wednesday. The voices ot
the singers were scarcely audible to
our ears, so laden was the air with
the music of the waters. At first
we thought to try to get a little
nearer to the singers, but the surg-
ing crowd was so dense we preferred
to remain where we were and listen
to the song of old ocean, deep and
grand. On this Sunday night there
were probably no less than three
thousand people, perhaps more at
the hotel and more on the beach.
The hotel is a magnificent affair,
but we shall not attempt to give you
even a peep at its interior, a partial
glimpse at its front will suffice.
This is built in the form of three
immense bay windows, four stories
ip height. Three stories surround-
ed entirely by ornamental balconies,
and the centre portion carried up
another story with pretty jutting
windows and capped by an immense
dome, and, again, this dome sur-
rounded by what seemed to be a
balcony for observation. The entire
front is about two hundred feet.
Three large bath houses built over
-the water on spiles, with stairways
going down underneath into the
water, accommodate the aristocratic
bather at 25 cents a room and suits;
but foul or five hundred feet up the
beach you may see little bath houses
built upon wheels, which run oppo-
sition at 15 cents a suit and room,
and as the tide goes out, these are
rolled down to the water’s edge, so
that the bathers can step right into
the refreshing bath. You can get a
salt water bath at your hotel or
boarding house one mile from the
beach, but a bath-tub, in a little
room four by eight is no comparison,
—even though it is sea water—to a
plunge in those grand rolling, toss-
ing, waters, so pure and so refresh-
ing. At first you may be a little
frightened, but even though you
cannot swim, wade out until the
water comes up to your shoulders,
and an occasional wave dashes over
your head, and then you will enjoy
a bath in the guit.

LETTER PROM MEXI00.
City of Mexico, Aug. 24, *84.
Dear Murray—I promised to
write you when I heard anything of
the Yank Sullivan expedition. Three
of the party, viz: Sullivan, Chas.
Lason and J. H. Sabers, came into
Toluca all right on* Aug. 22d. Ex-
Conductor G. J. Henry died of
hemorrhage of the lungs on their
way back at a smaQ village named
Huatems. Henry was a native of
New York, about 45 years, of age,
nearly 6 feet tall, with blue eyes and
a heavy blonde moustache. He had
been a Pullman car conductor in the
States and worked on this road as
conductor of a ballast train, for
nearly a year. It » said that Henry
was not his real name. He had a
brotlier-in-law living in Portland,
Oregon. Another of the party
named Kennady is missing. He
left Maravatio with some tools to
join the others at the mines, but has
not since heard been of, and is sup-
posed to have been murdered. The
party tell the same old story: gold
and silver is abundant, but they jiad
not the machinery to get H out! in
paying quantities. Sullivan says
the Indians did not offer to molest
them. He leaves here soon and will
locate in Denver, Col. Of course
you have heard of the conspiracy
here to overthrow the Gonzales ad-
ministration, and the arrest of the
conspirators. The affair caused
very little excitement here and was
greatly exaggerated by the corre-
spondent of the Globe-Democrat.
Our next President, Porfirio Diaz,
took a hunting trip over this road on
a special train to Leorna, the other
day. James Tobin, an old Denison
boy, was engineer, and \V. S. Kyle,
of Canton, Miss., conductor.
The present rainy season in Mex-
ico has been the driest for 15 years,
and has caused great loss to farmers.
Crops are ruined and thousands of
cattle have died from drouth.
The price of everything is rising.
Beef is iS to 25 cents per pound ;
mutton 18 cents ; eggs, 3 cents each ;
sugar 12 1-2 to 18 cents; Coffee,
13 1-2 cents; tea, $2 to $3, (poorar-
ticle at that) ; ham, 50 cents ; bacon,
37 1-2 cents; cheese, 50 cents ; flour,
9 cents ; butter, 50 cents to $1 ; char-
coal, $1 per arroba (25 lbs.) ; wood,
from $10 to $11 per cord; beer,
12 1-2 cents a glass. Fruit of all
kinds is of poor quality. One good
Michigan apple is worth a bushel ot
Mexican mnnzanas. Oranges are
cheap but insipid and wormy. You
will see by these figures that it costs
money to live in Mexico, and as the
altitude is 7000 feet above the level
of the sea, the air is a little too thin
to get fat on. *
Tom Monahan, an old M. K. &
T. engineer, is still in jail at Toluca
for a collison on the Mexican Cen-
tral, in which a fireman ;named Slat-
tery was killed. The conductor,
named Day, failed to deliver a copy
of a meeting order to his engineer,
(Monahan) and of course Monahan
was entirely blameless, but that
makes no difference to a Mexican
Judge, and the prospects is that Tom
will remain in durance vile for an
indefinite period.
Nearly all the Gringos that I have
heard express an opinion on the po-
litical situation are in favor of Jas.
G. Blaine tor President of the
“States,” inasmuch as they seetn to
think he would protect American
citizens in foreign countries, and
has more “get up” to him than any
of the other candidates. Cleveland,
being an old bachelor, can’t be ex-
pected to have the necessary expe-
rience to take care of Uncle Sam’s
large family. “Widow” Butler has
been through the mill, but it is
doubtful if she could see straight
for such a long distance. San
Juan, of Kansas, is too dry for
a candidate. I have not met a pro-
hibitionist in Mexico yet. St. John
might close the liquot shops,
which would ruin the country and
deprive the poor peons of the only
pleasure they possess. I hope you
will elect the best man at all events.
Blaine is looked upon as a man/who
won’t put up with any nonsense,
and will make the “effete monar-
chies” and others stand around if
they don’t use the subjects of “the
best government on earth” with
proper courtesy and consideration.
The Denison hoys are all well.
There is some talk of this road
commencing construction again in a
month or so, when they expect to
close the gap between San Miguel
and Saltillo, a distance of some 300
miles. The N ational wijl be a much
shorter and belter 'route to the
States than the Central, being at
least 500 miles shorter, and the
scenery alone is well worthy of a
visit, while the Central is a long,
round-about road, and for six or
seven hundred miles runs through
one of the most God-forsaken look-
ing countries that the eye of man
ever gazed on.
Aoheuser beer has arrived at last,
but since Geo. Braun has severed
his connection with that association,
we drink nothing but “Lemp.”

AMUSEMERT8.
The amusement season is now
upon us and with this issue of the
Gazetteer we offer our readers an
“amusement column,” and will con-
tinue it regularly up to the closing
of the season. It will he our con-
stant aim to keep the lovers of
amusement well posted as to what
is going on in the city; tell them
what theatrical companies are com-
ing and the ones offering the great-
est amount of enjoyment, and most
deserving of patronage. We shall
keep track of them from the time
their tour is commenced until they
reach Denison, and inform the pub-
lic of their merits as shown by ex-
hibitions in other cities; and if they
should fail to redeem the promises
made in their bills and- programmes
we shall not hesitate to publish the
fact. And under this head will we
give accounts of all local and social
amusements, such as shall be of im-
portance sufficient to claim the at-
tention of our readers.

TEE LADIES' EXP081TI0M SOCIETY.
What They Have Done and What They
Intend Doing.
Put Worth ui Grime.
The citixens of Fort Worth are
tired of crime and they, on Monday
night, met en masse and perfected
an organization of themselves to aid
the officers in suppressing crime.
The following are some very pointed
and wholesome resolutions adopted
by the meeting and forming the
“platform” of the organization:
Resolved, 1. That we condemn
any policy which only makes weekly
or monthly arrests for daily violation
of the law.
3. That we pledge our hearty
support to all officers who are en-
deavoring to enforce the laws and
suppress crime.
3. We deprecate the erection or
leasing of buildings in this city as
dens of vice, and demand of the
officers a strict enforcement of (be
laws governing such cases.
3. We demand ot our city and
county officers that the laws be fully
Now, we would not advise any
one to die just for the pleasure and
satisfaction ot being put away nice-
ly, but if you should be in need - ot
any of the above named goods we
would recommend the undertaking
establishment of Mr. S. Harriman,
on Main street. Hie caskets, trim-
mings,‘burial robes, etc., are just
pretty enough tor household embel-
lishment*. We would especially
call the attention of the public to the
burial robes; they are artistically
made, very pretty, appropriate and
cheap. The robe tor a gentleman
consists of a black ooat, with velvet
trimmings, a white shirt, white vest,
collar and cravat, made - together.
It is very handsome end only costs
$6.50. The robes for women and
children are of white material, beau-
tifully trimmed. You would be sur-
prised to know how much cheaper
such goods are sold by Mr. Harri-
man than have ever before been
sold in Denison. He will not take
enforced against vagrancy, proatitu- advantage of your distress and necea-
~ **ty, hut will sell you goods at living
The Ladies’ Exposition Society
will give a concert at McDougall’s
Opera House on Tuesday evening,
the 9th inst., which we hope will
be liberally patronized. The ladies
are exerting every nerve to make a
good showing at the Exposition,
and, that being a matter that every-
o ne is directly interested in, we think
it but just that all should aid them.
Certainly the society deserves more
praise for this display of ambitious
energy than we can illustrate. Miss
Maude Grubbs will ably assit at the
entertainment. She assisted the
Exposition Society at Sherman last
week and the following notice of
her success appeared next morning
in the Fort Worth Gazette:
Miss Maude Grubbs (Stuart) was
the particulr star ol the entertainment
and her talents were severely taxed
in the many recitations delivered by
her during the evening. She drew
freely upon the gems of drama made
familiar by her stage experience
and challenged the praise of all
present by the exceeding simplicity
and naturalness of every inflection
of voice and motion of body. In
fact, Miss Maude is a sweet litttle
bundle of graces, and her effdrts last
night contain a lesson of wisdom to
all amateur elocutionists, for in it
they can learn the important truth,
that to imitate natural simplicity is
the highest perfection of elocution-
ary art. Mr. Frank Ryan und Miss
Maude rendered the balcony scene
in Romeo and Juliet in full cos-
tume as the closing piece of the
evening, and both were highly com-
plimented for their success. Mr.
Ryan has the capacity for a success-
ful dramatic career.
The following companies are
booked to appear at the McDougall
Opera House during the season of
1SS4-5. In addition to the com-
panies here mentioned, there are
two or three “Madison Square” and

On Thursday lost the third meeting of
the “Exposition Association,” composed
of the ladies of Denison, with Mrs. A.
D. Martiniere as president, Mrs. Judge
Wilkinson as treasurer and Mrs. Arthur
Cotfin as corresponding "Secretary, took
place at the parlors of the Colonnade
Hotel, for the purpose of affecting the
final arrangements for representing our
city at the New Orleans World’s Exposi-
tion to commence on December ist
next. In order to obtain ; the necessary
funds to defray expenses, it was previous-
ly decided upon to divide the town into
four districts, and committees were ap-
pointed to canvass them and solicit con-
tributions from our citizens. It gives us
great pleasure to state that this plan
was crowned with the most brilliant suc-
cess.
The style adopted to represent Deni-
son Is somewhat original, striking and
appropriate, in the shape of a large,
arched gate, composed of all our native
woods, such as Boisd’arc, Black Walnut,
Oak and Hickory, and was designei by
Mr. P. Lelardoux, the architect. This
gate will be surmounted by a beautiful
silk banner with the name of Denison
embroidered in the center and surround-
ed by a wreath of prairie flowers.
The gate will act at an entrance to the
space allotted to Denison and as a sym-
bol of the far famed “Gate City of
Texas.” Another attraction will be an
inner gate of peculiar construction, in-
vented by Doctor Graves, of Whitesboro.
All kinds of art, made by the nimble
hands of our fair ladies, such as needle
work, embroidery and paintings will also
be exhibited, and all contributions will
be thankfully received by any of the
above named officers.
Too much cannot be said in the; praise
of the pluck and energy of our ladies in
preparing a display which will be a
credit to our city. The ladies lequest us
to express their heartfelt thanks to the
genial hosts of the Colonnade Hotel for
the free use ot their parlors.

A Card.
Denison, Sept. 4/1884.
Editor Gazetteer :
Is it equity or justice for the City
Attorney to receive a salary for his
official services in a case before the
recorder when he does not put in
an appearance at the trial, or when
the defendant pleads guilty and pays
a fine without trial ?
iNqyisiTiv*.
The above querry is submi tted to
our citv readers and the columns of
the Gazetteer are tendered them
for replies.
Mrs. Lockwood has accepted the
nomination of the Woman’s Nation-
al Equal Rights party, in Califor-
nia, for President of the United
States. In her letter of acceptance
she says she is in full sympathy with
the Woman’s Chr istian Temperance
Union, the extention of our com-
mercial relations with foreign coun-
tries, opposed to monopolies, espe-
cially the monopoly of the ballot
box by the male sex, favors paying
the Indians what the government
owes them, break up all tribal re-
lations, distribute their lands among
them and make them citizens, etc.,
etc. Mrs. Lockwood should stump
the country in company with Ben
Butler.
The Removal.
The first of the week A. Jacobs
moved into his new quarters one
door west of his old stand, where he
will be glad to serve his friends and
customers as in the past. Mr. Ja-
cobs informs us that he will con-
tinue to sell his summer stock st half
price, until his new fall stock is all
in. Mr. Jacobs is certainly one of
our most energetic, popular and de-
senring merchants—s man who
never forgets his duty to the public,
ana as a result he is looked upon as
a model merchant in every sense of
the word. He is a good judge of
goods, informed as to wants and
needs of the people, consequently
his goods are purchased at low fig-
ures and are just wbat consumers
desire. His stock is always ar-
ranged to the best advantage and
well kept, and in all respect show
the evidences of a pains-taking and
industrious merchant. In a few
more days the finishing touches will
be added to the arrangement of his
stock and be will then have one of
the most attractive stores in the city
—one that all the ladies will delight
to enter when out shopping.

HORATIO 0. BUROHARD-
Director of the United States Mint.
The operations of the United
States Mint are directed by eleven
officers, of whom Horatio C. Bur-
chard. Washington. D. C. is the
head, his title being Director of the
Mint. His salary is $4,500 a year,
and his position one ot great labor
and responsibility.
By the Coinage act of 1793 the
United States Mint was established
in the city of Philadelphia, and the
next year coinage was begun with
the copper cent of 1793. Sflyer
dollars were coined the next year
after, and the first making of gold
coins was in 1795. We learn from the
official report of the Director of the
Mint that the total coinage from
1793 to 1883 inclusive amounted in
value to $1,729,543,165.46. Dur-
ing the last three years the coinage
of gold and silver has been larger
than in any country of the world,
amounting to about $350,060,000
in gold and $75,000,000 in silver.
Director Burchard’s duties include
the general supeavision of alj mints
and assay offices, reporting their
operations and condition to the
Secretary of the Treasury, and other
services of scarcely less magnitude
and certainly involving no less la-
bor.
Mr. Burchard, who is serving his
second term as Director of the Mint,
has proved a most capable officer.
At his suggestion Congress passed
a law providing for the compilation
ot information with regard to the
production of precious metals in this
country. His reports on this sub-
ject have been enlarged by reports
considered authority in all countries,
as the money production and coin-
age of the entire world. Director
Burchard’s industry has earned him
great honor and given him a proud
position among men.
His lull name is Horatio Chapin
Burchard. He is a native of New
York State, and was born in 1835.
When he was very young his pa-
rents removed to Beloit, Wisconsin,
where he received 'his preparatory
education. He become a student
at Hamilton College in 1847, and
was graduated iu 1850. After reading
under the direction of Professor
Dwight he was admitted to the bar,
and began his professional career at
Monroe, W isconsin, from whence he
removed into the State of -Illinois.
In 1862 be was elected a member of
the Illinois Legislature. Having
served during several sessions with
ability, be was elected to Congress
in 1S69, to fill the vacancy occa-
sioned by the appointment of the
Hon. E. B. Washburne as Secretary
of State. He was re-elected four
times as a member ot the House of
Representatives. His extraordinary
familiarity with matters relating to
coinage was recognized, and in 1879
President Hayes made him Director
of the Mint. The four yean of his
first term expired in the present
year, when President Arthur re-ap-
pointed him.

goods at St. Louis prices, thus sav-

We take pleasure in calling the
attention of the people and medical
profession of this city and surround-
ing country to the drug store just
opened by Mr. Liebrecht in Dr.
Nagle’s new building, on Main
street. Mr. Liebrecht comes to us
highly recomended, from Marshall,
Texas, where he has been in busi-
ness for the last twelve years, and
he brings with him the well deserved
reputation of 'being one of the beat
pharmacists in Texas. Mr. Lie-
brecht is s man of solid learning,
and a scrupulous business man. We
predict for him the rapid favor and
confidence of our people and conse-
quent success in business.
