The llrst suit Hied for July In tho Dis-
trict court was docketed this morning.
This Is the suit of Marie Calllouettc
against tho San Antonio Street Hallway
company for damages resulting from the
denth of her Infant child Victor II
months old. The I.miit readers will
readily recall the blood)' tragedy of the
afternoon of May .11 when this little
child was run over and crushed to death
by a street car being driven nlong West
Commerce street. Mrs. Cnlllouctte lives
at No. 1313 West Commerce and nvers
that the child was on tho rail
road track through no carelessness
Intention or neglect. She further nvers
that the child's death was duo to the
carelessness of tho driver nnd conduc-
tor of tho street car and that the acci-
dent could with proper care have been
avoided or prevented. Sho lays her

As n.result of tho four weeks labors of
the grand lury the clerk this morning
transferred to the court of Justice Anton
Adam 03 cases of misdemeanors most
of them against tho gamblers. Judge
Adam also desires tho attorneys at least
ii majority of them to call on him nnd
hear something Hint will interest them.
Two more of Uio prisoners convicted
at the recent term of court will bo sent
otTlolIuntsville to spend several y.ears
working for the State whose laws they
have violated. Thcso are Crux Guer-
rero convicted ofnssault with Intent to
kill nnd murder nnd sentenced to thrco
years In the penitentiary. Tho second
Is John Sullivan alias 17. 1C. Miles etc.
tire slick diamond thief who was ar-
rested on June 23 Inst lie pleaded
guilty to two counts nnd was given two
?cars In each case making four years
n all. Ills case Is a fair sample of what
nugui io ueuone in nil oriininai cases
viz: try tho defendant at once. Now as
appears from the above he was cap-
tured and Jailed on Juno 2.; on the next
day he was Indicted nnd on Saturday
last ho was tried and convicted on a plea
of guilty. Thus within live days this
glgantlo stealing operation In which
several wero Implicated was unearthed
Its principals Jailed convicted and pun-
ished. The county can stand a host
more of such specimens of Justice and
will more than willingly aid to bring the
bold operators'to Justice.
In tho District Clerk's olllco D. M.
Krause has sued William Iloelllngfor
violation of a contract.
Captain T. 1. McCnll Is hack a'galn
from Austin. Whllo there ho saw Ly-
curgus McCracken tho bold nnd des-
perate horse thief who was so neatly
captured In this olty a week or two
ago. Sheriff Lipscomb of Milam onmo
hero alter him and stopped him In Aus-
tin where he was tried for horse theft
convicted nnd given 10 years; then he
was carried on to Milam to receive a
sentence of 15 yenrs on a conviction
against hlui there. The horse McCracken
had when captured has been found to
belong to Mo Wood of this county. Mc-
Cracken spoke Jestingly of his exploits
and escapades and said that tho best
thing he did during the raid which re-
sulted In his capture was the frighten-
ing of a poor wayfarer In the following
way: lie was going along the road and
met a man armed with a six-shooter
strung to bis saddle. The two rode
along for awhile when McCracken ac-
costed his companion nnd wanted to
know If he was an ofllcer. Learning
that he was not MoCracken presented
Ids pistol and made the other drop his
weapon. He then threatened to arrest
him but on the way offered to release
him for $23. The man didn't
have this amount. Then McCracken
came down n peg and otl'ered to take
$20 then $10 and finally $3. But the
man bad only CO cents and McCracken
proposed to run him In. When they had
reached a cool branch howover the fel-
low gave him the slip nnd escaped as
McCracken tired after him. He also
says that when he was trying to borrow
the horse that led to his ilnal capture he
did not want to get oil' with the animal
but had spotted three mules and wanted
to ride out nnd drive them as far from
town as he could then put them on the
cars and sell; then he says he could have
returned the animal lie Is where ho
will do no more horse stealing soon.
BRIBING A BASE BALLIST.
The Blues Accuse the Sunsets or Securing Their
Dcreat Through This tyeans.
The Navasota lllues as' might have
been expected from tho conduct of their
Captain here told n talo of woe when
they got back home. Tho victorious
champions who left Navasota but a few
days before must needs havo some ex-
cuse to expla'ln their crushing defeat on
other grounds than by being fairly
whipped. At Austin the Sunset club
was badly spoken of by the lllues or
some of them and. when they got back
to .Navasota they put up the plea that
MoICale the catcher whom they brought
here with them. had been bribed to thrnw
off the Sunday game. This hardly lias the'
appearance of consistency when the
club carried MoICale to Austin with
them and he played In the match with
the Austin club there. The clipping
below which is taken fromtheNnvosota
Tablet explains the story i
"The boys who played In the base ball
Rame at San Antonio last Sunday all he-
eve that their pitcher MoKalc was
bribed by' tho San Antonio club. Ills
awkward playing throughout the game
was noticed and commented upon by
even those who witnessed Ids playing
the day before when the nines defeated
the San Antonio club. The San Antonio
Light's account of tho game It pub-
llahed In full In this Imuo of the Tablet."

The Dallas and Fort Worlh clubs

to the ninth Inning when Dallas scored
a run tying the score nnd two men wero

One of this morning's earliest Inci-
dents and a very pleasant ono nt that
was the quiet weddlngjeremony which
was performed at the residence of Dr.

Tho ceremony was witnessed by the
relatives of the bride and groom only

Great Northern depot whence they
took the cars for a tour to the coast.
Miss llertha Is a most nttrnetlve and

llcv. Medlow Thompson fresh from a
Journey of 4000 miles In mule cart nnd ox
wagon up and down tho disturbed dis-
tricts or South Afrlcn.sald to n Fall Mall
Gazette reporter: "The llechuanns are
few In number but they nre Improving
In Industry and civilisation Tho num-
ber of wagons and plows In tho country
Is very considerable. They iiso hardly
anything but American and Swcdisli
plows which are much lighter than the
Kngllsh make and the carriage across
country being so expensive tho lighter
article commands tho market. In tho
old times the Doers no doubt were
very cruel In their dealings with tho
natives but of Into public opinion lias
begun to tell oven upon them and they
no longer perpetrate tho deeds which
onco caused their name to stink In the
nostrils or the civilized world. In the
Transvaal and In Ihe Free Stnte they
deal wllh tho natives on tho pntrlachal
principle. In the Free Slate for In-
stance every Doer has live natives that
Is to say llvo families attached to his
farm and these live unlives lire not al-
lowed to move about Hie country with-
out a permit from their employers.
When I sent my native servants on an
errand I had to furnish them with
n ccrtillcnto to the effect that
they wero my men or else they
might havo been arrested by the llrst
white man who met them nnd carried
before the nearest landrost. In somo
parts of the Transvaal Ihe land is let on

natives tako the land from the farmer
and pay him half the prollt nnd some of
the natives among whom this system
prevailed nppenred to mo to be among
Ihe finest and most prosperous In South
Africa. Throughout the whole ofSnntli
Africa the morals or the natives are very
shady. Chastity in our sense or tho
word Is unknown except In the caso or
unmarried daughters whose virtue Is
Jcnluusly guarded on nccount or Its mar-
ketable value all girls being sold as
brides. 1 found everywhere n recogni-
tion of the superiority or what are called
'mission natives' flint Is to say natives
nmong whom missionaries havo estab-
lished their agencies. They grow moro
corn do more trade and generally con-
sumo much inoro llrltlsh manufactured
goods' than Kalllrs among whom mis-
sions' havo not yet been extended. The
Transvaal state Is largely a misnomer.
In the Transvaal there Is no state In the
sense of nn orgunlo whole obeying tho
orders of n central government. There
Is the semblance of a state but decen-
tralization and Individualism are carried
to such an extent that the orders of the
central government nro set at naught
whenever tho local landrost nnd Its
neighbors prefer to disobey them. This
it is mat renuers it so very iiimcuic io

loose confederation of a great number of
farmers scattered over an Immense ter-
ritory eaoh of whom does llrst thnt
which Is good to his own eyes and obeys
the government or not as it pleases him.
"Itlght to the north or llechuanaland
lies the most fertile territory In South
Africa Matnbele Land. The tribe Is of
Zulu origin and organized In strict mili-
tary fashion. They profess to havo 12-
000 lighting men who are continually
going out on Impls In their neighbor a
territory slaying merotlcssly every adult
whom they meet. Children they spare
the hoys being trained ns warriors; and
It is a remarkable fact recalling re-
miniscences of the Janissaries of the Ot-
toman Fniplre that these children so
kidnapped no matter what tribe they
belong to acquire under the Matebelo
training all tho military prowess of the
Matebeles themselves. Upon this tribe
sooner or later the Iloers will of neces-
sity encroach when there will probably
be some wild work In which the natives
will make a better light than did the
poor llechuanas.
"In all tho tribes or South Africa bad
brandy Is the greatest curse of the na
tlves. Tho brandy-keg does far more
harm than the powder-barrel. In North
llechuanaland brandy has been kept out
hitherto with considerable suoctts; and
In Ilasutoland In the old times the Im-
port of brandy was forbidden. Since
the late llasutowar liquor has been In-
troduced freely. As n result half the
chiefs In Ilasutoland nro dipsomaniacs.
They drink morning noon nnd night
and many of their absurd actions are
attributable not to the Inherent folly of
the llasuto nature but to the baleful In-
fluence of white man's beverage. The
Cape Hottentot la a poor specimen ot
humanity and the spectacle of the civil-
ized black man on Saturday night In n
South African frontier town Is the re-
verse of reassuring."

In Country Homes.
"I heard that you wanted a servant
ma'am and I came to see If you would
hire me. Do you think I'll do?''
She was a largecourse elderly woman
who spoke. Her face was tanned and
hardened by wind and sun and rain and
she looked about as undesirable a ser-
vant as could be found In all Orange
county where tho lady to whom she
made the application-lived.
"No I am not In need of another ser-
vant" said the lady very shortly. Tho
woman had so quietly entered the open
door of the little country house that she
had not been noticed until she spoke.
"Then I've been fooled" she said
with a plain affectation of vlclousness.
"1 come from Middletown 20 miles
away where I wns told you wnsdis-
traded because you couldn't get a good
servant."
"Who told you that?" asked tho lady
"A Mrs. llellly" was tho reply.
"I don't know anybody of thntnauio
uim a xiiuv nuuuuy in iuiuuieiown. Are
you quite sure you are telling the trutlif"
said the lndv.
"Quite sure mum" replied the visitor
wholly unabashed. "Well I can't get
back to MWdletown to-night. May I
sleep here!"1
"0no; Impossible" was the discour-
aging answer. "I have hardly room for

A glass of water was given to her

It upon the table. She atood up with an
Indifferently concealed battery or abuse
In her race but seemed suddenly to
make up her mind not to unmnsk It.
She merely remarked:
"If you find a dead corpse a-hangln1
to the tree In front of the gate In tho
mornln' don't blame tne for It" and she
strode away.
"I am very glad you were here" said
the lady to the reporter. "My husband
won't be home for nn hour and If I bail
been alone I should have had hard work
to get tier to go. She Is one or those fe-
male tramps."
"A female tramir!" exclaimed the re-
porter In astonishment "Why I never
heard of such a thing before."
"Men nre very seldom troubled wllh
them" was tho reply "but they pester
us women whose husbands go to tho
city lo do business every day. They are
all of them pretty old and I never heard
one nf them tell a dlllerent story from
that you listened to. Vim would be sur-
prised to Ieurn how many ladles either
through Tear or credulity ifre Imposed

me for water It would have trebled the
dllllculty ofgettlngherto go. She won't
hang herself outshlo. She will tell the
story she told me until some one nllowa
her to sleep Inn barn. The female tramp
does not often run any risk In stenllng
but ir any small article not likely to bo
soon missed is lying within her reach
she Is almost sure to carry It away. She
Is less lazy than tho male tramp and
therefore I think less honest. Nobody
ever sees her sleep In n ditch. She pre-
fers a bed anil almost always contrives
to get one. Nor does she travel so far
over the country conllnlug herself for
the must part to ono county. Itiecms
to be n pure love of vagabondism that
chains her to the life for even when sho
Is engaged ns a servant sho won't work
nnd resumes her wanderings In n row
dnys. She makes her way toward a
city as the cold weathernpproachcs.and
passes the winter months In the peni-
tentiary or tho almshouse." N'ow York

"I say" "don't you know" and "all

nnd make people forget ho was over In
"tho States" and who seldom more thnn
half succeeds in either. Then there Is
the American who doesn't know Kngllsh
ways and docs not caro to particularly

A PROfESSfoNAL BEAUTY OF 1790.
The Marvelous Career ot tmmi tyon Lady
William Hamilton.
Strange ns Is the lllght of tlio Gun
nings' career the romance of Kimna
Lyons Is a hundred-fold moro marvelous.
Horn or peasant parents brought up In
the most abject poverty by a widowed
mother deprived of tho means of the
commonest education and placed at the
age of 14 as nursery-maid In a physician's
family this wonderful girl found the
means of Instructing herself at least In
the more superficial branches of a lady's
education. She cultivated the raro gift
of a musical voice with which nature
had endowed her and after going
through the various vicissitudes or
reigning as tho petted favorito or two
gentlemen or good position consecutive-
ly shining as the most graceful of horse
women upon tho valuablo mounts of Sir
Harry Feathcrstonhaugn In the county
or Sussex figuring In tho nndo at an Il
lustration or tho beauty of health In the
show of a quack doctor posing to tho
Iiainter ueorge itomney ior an ins most
leauttful pictures she positively suc
ceeded In duping n gentleman of tho
name of Grevllle Into believing her an
Innocent little tcamstretB and accepted
his offer of educating her to bo a worthy
companion ofhls cultured existence.
And so lit 1 y did he form and tutor that
rifled nature that as vears rlnened the
girlish loveliness Into womanly grace
and beauty tho native genius of a most
receptive mind was developed to well In
every direction that tho laborer's daugh-
ter became n ladr able to comlletn with
the shrewdest Intellects In thelaiid. Nor
was her education neglected In the more
special department! of her own musical
and dramatic gifts. Une evening Kane-
laugu mo scene oi so many strange
connueats and wonderful pictures was
convulsed as It had perhaps never been
before even In the days of Its favorito
belle the lovely and simple Maria.
Later on. after her separation from
Grevllle Kmma Lyon was married to
Sir William Hamilton his majesty's am-
bassador at Naples. For a short year
society snut its eyes io wnispereu tales
nnd welcomed tho fair one to Its arras
that her matchless beauty her rare dra
matic musical gifts her winning and
distinguished manners might draw ad
miring ami curious crowus to tncir as-
semblies. All the belles of the season were
eclipsed for the moment. Lady Cado-
and even the brilliant Duchess
of Devonshire herself had we may
fancy to give way for a short
space tothlsturbulent rush of wonderful
notoriety; whllo as for the fashlonablo
sounilals of the hour such as the l'rlnco
of Wales' secret marriage with comely
Mrs. Jjitzneruert tncy wero lairiy
smothered by this far more marvelous
misalliance. Hut the new belle wns for
tunately not to risk living through her
success Into the cold region of bad mem-
ories revived that lay beyond. Little
moro' than n year after her marriage
i.auy Hamilton reiurneu io sanies
laden with the "lamentations of fash
ionable life" and with her departure
emts our consuierauon oi uer as a socie
ty Dene ur tier strange ana uncanny

last but not least of her romantic
amours with the great Admiral and the
almpst magical fascination! which she
exercised unon him. we havo little to
