f . The Federal government has al-
ready paid 8700000000 in pensions.
Next Tuesday is election day and
the opponents of oppressive taxation
should be at the polls in force.
Judge Hoadly has nothing to add
in regard to the Foster slander and
has dismissed the matter by saying:
"My object is sufficiently accomplish

his informant.
Will the university regents do a
simple act of justice in recalling this
unfair discrimination against female
matriculants ? It is against the spirit
of all Texas law; it is unconstitutional
and cannot be respected.
The Georgetown Sun is satisfied
the tax amendments will be defeated.
They certainly will be if the people
have not lost their senses if they
have not decided to sell body and soul
to the tax gatherers.
A little bravery will cause the
university regents to repeal the pro
vision against female matriculants
The regents know the discrimination
Is wrong and to acknowledge and
correct the error will be honorable.
It is reported from Ohio that John
W. Book waiter holds Senator Pendle-
ton r sponsible for his defeat in his
pursuit of the governorship and that
he intends to enter the race against
him for the United States senatorship.
Campbell who is at the head of
the telegraphers' strike is an Ohio
man. The Buckeye state always
comes to the front when there in a
position to be filled. Mr. Campbell's
time is of course paid for. That is
the religion of all Ohio men.
The Sedalia Democrat wants
"Western man nominated for president
by the Democratic party. That party-
has tried nominating Eastern men
since 1860 with disastrous results. In
fact Lewis Cass was the last nominee
from the AVest of the united Democ
racy.
What do our people think of start
ing a boom for a semi-centential exhi
bition? The fiftieth anniversary of
Texan independence occurs in 1886.
In that year at the proper season let
us have in Texas a great industrial
exhibit that will attract a hundred
thousand strangers to the state. Aus
tin is the proper place for the enter
prise and the nucleus is already here
in the Capital State Fair association.

Washington Star says:
English capital cannot be kept out of
profitable Southern enterprises on any
such ideas of sentimentality. Eng
lish money is being invested in the
South now because it offers prospects
or paying better profits than home in
vestments and it will continue to be
so as long as these prospects remain
notwithstanding the syndicate of boy
cotting speculators in dead bonus.
Democratic Kentucky held its

The escape of two sailors from the
yellow fever ships quarantined at
Ship Island has caused general alarm
along the Mississippi coast. They
were arrested at Diloxi and now the
Louisiana state board of health and
the marine hospital service people are
gravely considering the questio.i
what to do with the jolly "tars."
Such is life even in the quarantine
service. Together with frolicsome
aalors and Egyptian rags there is no
telling what will be the end probably

of people who are taxed for sanitary
protection.
The New York Herald advocates
a national postal telegraph but op-
poses the buying out of the existing
telegraph companies or an attempt on
the part of the United States to mon-
opolize the business. Mr. Creswell
wien he was postmaster general
recommended the establishment of
the postal telegraph but we believe
his idea was to extinguish the tele-
graph companies. There could be no
constitutional objection raised to
such a course on the part of the gov-
ernment and it would be a great con-
venience to the people who must
avail themselves of the speediest and
cheapest mode of communication.
"The British government has felt
itself called upon to legislate in be-
half of the oppressed candidates for
parliament. It fixes the maximum
beyond which the expenditure of
money cannot go. Comparisons can
not be made between British and
American practices because in Eng
land the candidate has been obliged
to pay the expenses of polling places
and election officers. It was stated
recently by the British attorney-gen
eral in debate in the commons that
the last parliamentary election cost
the candidates the enormous sum of
2500000. The present bill reduces
these expenses to 800000. It may
be presumed therefore that 1700000
or in round numbers 8500000 have
heretofore been spent in improper in-
"TtrteffiEB upon -voters an enormcus
sum certainly and one not creditable
to the moral condition of the English
government. "

THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.
The papers of Louisville excellent
is they have been appear to be born
into a new life under the inspiration
of the great Southern Exposition in-
augurated in that city on the 1st of
ugust. The Courier-Journal al
ways bright ana spanuing is now
clothed with a radiance almost sub
lime. For Louisville it is truly the
beginning of the year one of a new
era. Eighteen years ago the South
emerged from a long and devastating
war with states and cities and peo-
ple bereft of almost all that they held
dear. States were treated as subju
gated provinces governments of the
people were supplanted with govern
ments of the sword; state sovereignty
bowed before the Satrap and munici
palities became their agents.- Public
money was diverted to the uses of
base camp followers and individual
property placed at their disposal. The
right of habeas corpus was denied
and the intelligent people of the
South refused the legal rights of free
men were made grist for upper and
nether millstones. The light of hope
almost died away; human will seemed
to discern but its faintest rays. "Ne
cessity knows no law" says the pro
verb but the necessities of the people
of these Southern states made for
them a law which by its observance
has already brought them up out of
scenes of material desolation and of
moral woe to a proud position among
the peoples of the world. Hands un
used to labor bodies never before op-
pressed with the weight of human
cares minds devoted to the arts and
practices attendant upon plenty
and independence all com
bined; and swearing allegiance to the
the law that necessity had made our
noble Southern people took up the
thre.id of a new existence destined
to lead them once more to compe
tence and plenty and happiness. Dil
igently hath this thread been followed
through all the mazes of adversity
until it has now led them to an open
lield where they are competing not
only for the social but for the indus
trial honors of the world. The ex
position at Atlanta marked the pro-
gress of this new era and the one at
Louisvile presents its consummation
In Texas where no authoritative in
terest appears to evince pride in the
states' advancement where no means
out of bounteous resources are placed
at the disposal of the state that its
dignity and its proud stand among
sioter states may be asserted we may
manifest pleasure alone in achieve-
ments and resources now being
presented at Louisville in be
half of sister Southern states.
A paltry $10000 could . have
been expended in giving Texas a
place in this Southern Exposition and
it would have won for its people mil
lions of dollars. Incompetence in gov
ernment is not a quality particularly
applicable to any Southern sta e. It
prevails in the body politic of North
ern states as well. It is so mu ch a fea
ture of political society nowadays that
the intelligence and worth of commu
nities cannot be enlisted in public
service. Private enterprises sus
tained by this new condition of af
fairs claim the attentionof the most
intelligent and enterprising elements
of society and men who would see
and know the value of proper state
representation at these great exposi-
tions remain at home while ignorance
and old fogyism and demagogueism
have it nearly always their own way
in public administration. Led by at
tractive premiums offered by the
managers of the Southern Exposition
a few individuals will display Texas
cotton and probably oome other Texas
products at Louisville while the nat
ural and developed resources of the
state presented by state authority as
one great whole will be unknown to
the hundreds of thousands of people
who go to Lousville to see what the
different Southern states present
in the way of inducement for capital
labor and enterprise. But we may be
taught valuable lessons by the enter
prise of other communities. For many
years since long before the war At
lanta and Louisville have both held
annual state fairs. The Georgia and
Kentucky state fairs in fact have
contributed to developing the re
sources of these two states. Stran
gers have dropped in from year to
year to witness the expositions and
profiting by beneficial results state
lairs have given origin final-
ly to world's fairs. Texas is
has natural resources not possessed
by either Georgia or Kentucky. Were
samples of the state's rich minerals
and its powerful soils of its timbers
and its great variety of building ma-
teriaWwood and stone of its animal
and vegetable products placed on ex
hibiton at Louisville the world would
see and admire and rich would be
the harvest therefrom. But a narrow
minded policy in state government has
kept us from being represented at
Philadelphia and Atlanta and it now
prevents representation at Louisville.
Let us do the best then in our power
instead. As Atlanta and Louisville
have cultivated the spirit of
advancement let us here
in Texas do likewise until in the
coming years we may ourselves have
a great exposition similar to theirs.
For the eighth year the Capital state
fair has been held at Austin and now
it Is known to be a permanency. The
association stands at last on a more
solid basis and its efforts for the com
ing ninth exposition in October are
worthy of the most flattering success.
The people of Texas lending their
moral aid to this association may in
a few years it is hoped build up a
spirit that will accomplish for
Texas more than has been ac-
complished for Georgia- .and far
more than is now being
done for Kentucky. Why should we
not by 1886 the semi-centennial of
Texas independence inaugurate a
great fair in Texas attracting here
strangers to look at these things
which are not sent abroad reaping
the fruits that intelligent representa-
tion might now secure at Louisville ?
The Statesman urged the legisla-
ture to make an appropriation for an
exhibition at Louisville. Five thou-
sand dollars was appropriated for the
Southern Historical Society money
given in a worthy cause but not a
cent was voted for the state's repre-
sentation at the Southern exposition.
But many citizens of Texas will be at
Louisville during the exhibition. Let
them note the displays made by other
states and learn a lesson therefrom
that they may impart to strange eli-
ments that now go towards making
up state governments.

THE STRIKERS STRUCK.
The trouble with the striking telegra
phers is that they have not acted with
that deliberation necessary for suc-
cess in their conflict with well organ
ized power. We read accounts of
meetings in New York and their ef
forts viewed from such light appears
more like child s play than like a
struggle with giants. The support of
the Knights of Labor may be a ma
ter of immediate gratification to the
operators but its effect is demoraliz
ing and is calculated to strengthen
the power attacked rather than weak
en it. Because it has been demon
strated that the Knights of Labor on
an assessment of cents per capita
may turn over to the strikers $100-
000 the latter appear to think they
are to enjoy an indefinite holiday in
ease and comfort and with plenty
While they meet and indulge
in mvohty the telegraph managers
are bending every energy to show
that their companies can be and are
independent of strikers. The sym
pathy of the public which first went
out in favor of the strikers is chang
ing and the change is being wrought
by the foolish conduct of the strikers
in council Their committee reflect
no credit on the movement and the
meetings are becoming disgusting
farces. One Blissart a leader it ap-
p ars devotes his time to making in
fiainatory speeches in which a burden
of abuse is leveled generally at capi
talists. Blissart is not even a tele
grapher; he is a tailor but neverthe
less he attends the meetings and
speaks for the strikers and leads them
McCabe another leader taken from
the Knights of Labor to aid in this
big strike is the same ridiculous per
son who fancied that the rights of
the laboring man were assailed by the
selection of the 24th of May as the
day for the opening of the Brooklyn
bridge because it happened to be
Queen Victoria's birthday and who
presented a protest to the bridge trus
tees "on behalf of the laboring men
of America." Still another intelligent
person who has the operators encour
agement was particularly incensed at
Gould's parsimony m paying small
wages to operators because as he
shouted "everyone knows that the
telegraph operator has but a few years
to live; the strongest constitutions
cannot long resist the in-
fluence of the powerful electric cur
rents used in this telegraphic work.'
The speaker seems to have got it into
his empty noddle that the current used
in telegraphy passes through the op
erator's body with frightful results.
What can a man whose ignorance is
so dense have to say to telegraphic
experts of New York? It is stated
that much time is spent by the
strikers in applause laughter the
reading of poems abuse of Jay Gould
etc. Nothing will please. Jay Gould
better than to hear that the strikers
are devoting their time to abusing
him. A body of intelligent men who
find no more useful work than to sit
in a hall all day listening to wild and
abusive speeches will hardly impress
the general public as being so terribly
in earnest that they will hold out
when the money gives out and real
hardship is to be faced. Folly is
playing the deuce with a very good
cause and we predict that the strike
will finally explode with the strikers
lost in most fragmentary disorder
A Call has been issued in Mary-
land for a colored men's state conven
tion in Baltimore September 13 to
elect delegates to the Louisville con
vention. The call sets forth the de
plorable attitude of the colored voters
of Maryland from the lack of political
organization; charges that it is the
policy of the white Kepublicans to
keep the colored voters disorganized
appeals to the colored people to be
more liberal and less partisan in state
and municipal politics; claims that
they would be a powerful political
necessity if properly organized; asks
for the promotion of their educa
tional interests as a duty and pro
poses a united effort to have tho color
line obliterated from the laws of the
state.
R. T. Greener the colored professor
and politician of Washington says
that the negro holds the balance of
power in Virginia and other Southern
states and believes that there is ample
chance for the Democratic party na
tional and state by changing its
policy or as some say by going back
to the early principles of the party to
make inroads into the hitherto close
column of the black contingent; of the
Republican party. He thinks the col
ored voter is very restive and inclined
to kick and instances the threats in
the call for Mr. Douglass's convention
the mutterings of the negro press
convention at St. Louis the recent
meeting and resolutions of the colored
Republicans of South Carolina. If
the colored voters of the country
could be made to fully understand the
tariff the manner in which they are
taxed as consumers they would aban
don the party that holds up for mo-
nopolies that the masses may be op
pressed in their favor.
The Isle of Ischia. only eight miles
distant from the Italian mainland at
Cape Miseno north of Naples guards
the Bay of Naples on the north as
Capri lies before it on the south. It is
about six miles long by four broad
and is very fertile producing grapes
figs and corn in abundance and has a
population of some 25000 souls. Sul-
phur abounds on the island and there
are numerous hot springs and baths
especially near the village of Casamic-
ciola at the foot of Mount San Nicolo
or Mount Epomeo an extinct volca-
no in the center of the islet from
whose sides there is a gradual slope in
every direction to the sea. The baths
make the island a popular resort for
tourists and others at Naples. The
village of Casamicciola which was
leveled to the ground with appaling
loss of life had about 4000 inhabitants.
Foria or Forio also destroyed had a
population of some 6500 ; Lacco an
other sufferer 1500. The town of
Ischia the most important on the is
land at its northeastern point has
about 6500 people. It appears that
fully one-fifth of its inhabitants were
destroped by the late earthquake.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
An interesting Question in criminal
law has been raised in New York.
An officer having a bench warrant for
one J. C Donnelly met Thomas Don-
nelly his brother. The latter ad-
mitted that his name was Donnelly
and that he would go with the officer
on the warrant. Meantime the one
wanted had plenty of time to escaDe.
and now Thomas is held for obstruct-
ing an officer. It is probable that his
conviction will depend upon th
amount of deception he used.
Within a short time of each other
the two most famous kings in A frica
have come to their death Kirg t.Viv-
wayo of Zululand in the southern
part of the African continent and
King Mtesa " the Lord of the f ..ikes
the Kabaka of Uganda the fi 1 uiost
man of Equatorial Africa." T.h- lir.-.t
was renowned as a warrior the other
labored in his later years to civilize
himself. It is doubtful if King Cety-
wayo's death will bring peace to Zulu-
land and it is believed that King
iltesa s death will bring civil war to
Uganda.
A Honolulu newspaper has been
publishing some excessively plain talk
to King Kalakaua. It tells him that
not one among his advisers commands
public respect; that the public money
is being squandered to gratify perso-
nal vanity; that the public works are
shamefully neglected; that the gov
ernment contract system is a scandal
and that only the remarkable pros
perity of the nation restrains the peo
ple trom giving vent to their opinions.
.Let that prosperity have a slight
check" it says "and the whole affair
will drop like a pack ot cards.
Lord Avlesford and his wife have
tried hard to get rid of each other but
there is in England a queen's proctor
who is a valuable othcer. Whenever
it comes to his ears that a divorce is
by arrangement between husband and
wife he declares that there is collu-
sion and the case collapses. Also if
it is patent that both husband and
wife hav5 been leading immoral lives
he prevents either from being divorced
from the other. In the Aylesford
case it was notorious that man and
wife were in this condition and no
divorce can be obtained.
Silas Savage who has been an in
mate of the Hartford almshouse for
seventeen years is a claimant to the
several millions paid this government
by i ranee as spoliation claims at the
time of the Louisiana puit hase. Sav
age was in his youth a teller in a
bank. Me bought up the other seven
heirs to his father's claim and has
been for fifty years trying to get it
paid. Numerous bills have been in
troduced into congress but have
always been killed and now the in
terest is so large that nothing will
ever be done. Savage's demand
alone amounts to $175000.
When a married couple was likened
to a pair or shears distinct blades ir
revocably fastened together which
cut anything that comes between
them nothing could have better ex
pressed the characteristics of modern
matrimony. The Rev. Mr. Tighe of
lirooklyn is now able to appreciate
the danger of getting between the
sharp edges of the shears. One of his
parishioners Mrs. Noblett having
taken counsel with him in her domes
tic troubles caused her husband's con-
finement first in an inebriate home
and then in prison. Then she sued
for divorce but finally she had a re
conciliation with her husband and
admitted that the accusations against
him had been trumped up by the liev
Mr. Tighe. Now Mr. Noblett has
brought suit for $25000 against his
pastor and Mr. Tighe is meditating
on the ingratitude of married women
and the danger of giving them too
much good advice. There is a very
excellent moral to this story.

Balky Horses. A society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals re-
commenus me roiiowing rules ior me
treatment of balky horses: 1. Pat the
horse upon the neck examine the har
ness carefully first on one side and
then on the other speak encouragingly
while doing so then jump into the
wagon and give the word go; gener
ally he will obey. 2. A teamster in
Maine says he can start the worst
balky horse by taking him out of the
shafts and making him go round in a
circle. It the hrst dance ot this kind
does not cure him the second will be
sure to do it. 3. To cure a balky horse
simply place vour hand over the
horse's nose and shut off the wind till
he wants to go; then let him go. The
brains of a horse seem to entertain
but one ideaat atime; thus coi.tinued
"whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. If you can by ony means
give him a new subject to think of
you will have no trouble in starting
him. A simple remedy is to take a
couple of turns of stout twine around
the fore leg just below the knee and
tie in a bow knot. At the first check
he will go dancing off; and after going
a short distance you can get out and
remove the string to prevent injury
in your further drive.
The Work of an Editor. The
duties of the genuine dyed-in-the-wool
simon-pure editor are multi-
fariousand multi'.uninous. His work
is not only to "do a little writin'" as
is sometimes supposed but to cull to
glean to select to discriminate to de-
cide to foresee to observe to grasp
to explain to elucidate to inflate to
boil down "to be to do and to suffer"
and several hundred other verbs with
a large number of districts yet to hear

The decision must proceed on the
ground that there is no criminal in-

On last Wednesday we had quite an
interesting speech from Gov.Hubbard
explaining the project of a narrow
gauge railroad to be constructed in
connection with a line from Sabine
Pass to Tyler and from Tyler via
Terrell and Rockwall to McKinney
and reaching Gainsville with a branch
to Sherman. The governor informed
us that the line from Tyler the Kan-
sas and Gulf Short Line was being
pushed ahead and that iron was
being received for that work. .The
Lousiana and Texas narrow gauge
was a separate project but to connect
with the other road and the general
narrow gauge system connecting
Texas at Cairo and St. Louis with
connection to the great lakes of the
north at Toledo. McKinney En-

Of Major Penn who is now conduct-
ing camp-meetings in Milam county
the Herald says :
- Maj. Penn s meeting which began
last Thursday night has been well at-
tended not only by the people of this
but from adjoining counties. The
largest assembly of people ever gath
ered together in Milam county was
on the camp-ground last Sunday and
was estimated at about 5000 people.
Maj. Penn has been conducting these
meetings for eight years and during
that time 19000 persons have profes-
sed conversion of which 17.0CO have
been men and over 18000 have been
grown persons. There have during
his meetings over 600 avowed infidels
professed religious.
On the fifth day of April last two
German carp one four and the other
seven inches in length were placed in
a pond on Chris. Weckesser's place
one mile north of Albany. The heavy
rain Sunday morning caused the creek
near the pond to overflow and fill the
pond which received a good washing
out and the water stood in little pools
everywhere. Mr. Weckesser noticed a
commotion in one of these puddlesand
on examination it proved to be full of
young carp. He fished his family
fished his neighbors helped him fish.
and the result of this Sunday fishing
was tne gatnermg ot nearly ten nuck-
etsful of young carp from one to
two inches long. Estimating the
catch by counting the contents of one.

gathered and returned . to. the pond
ten thousand young carp the product
of the two little ones that were placed
in his pond just three months and ten
davs before. He i-. very enthusiastic
over the result: and says in a few
months he can supply the state with
fish. Albany (Tex.) Echo.
While there is a universal sentiment
in the south of late especially strong
urging tne necessity ior the inaugura-
tion of manufacturing enterprises it
is found that in many localities where
the field seems to be the most promis-
ing the capital is wanting that would
be required tor the erection of the
larger establishments such as cotten
woolen and other mills. The "manu
facturing craze" therefore generally
expends itself on talk as the majority
or our people appear to think that
unless they can begin some grand
enterprise erect some mam
moth mill or establishment they can
do nothing in the way ot manufac-
turing. They make a grievous mis-
take just here and are standing there-
by in the light of their own progress
pront and independence. The South
needs large mills undoubtedly and it
does not speak well for the prosperity
and enterprise or such cities as Dallas
and others of its size that they have
not long ere this put such establish-
ments on foot. But there are other
industries of smaller or less preten-
tious character that the South needs
as badly as she does cotton or woolen
mill industries many of which can
be run on small or large capital. She
needs factories for the manufacture of
machinerv and implements for the
farm. If the capital in a certain local-
ity feeling the need of the presence
of factories and mills is not sufficient
to start and maintain great indus-
taies there are a multitude of small
ones equally as profitable and useful
that can be inaugurated and managed
successfully. Dallas Herald.

LAND DEPARTMENT.
The land board are in receipt of
some very fine specimens of silver ore
trom ;i i"aso county.
Messrs. Owen & Miller filed claim
No. 1 on section 14 block 66 township
7. and claim No. 2 on the same land.
Messrs. W. H. Wynne and Howard
filed claim on survey No. 2 claims
Nos. 1 and 2 on the same section etc.
as above described. The claims are
on different parts of the section and
not in conflict with each other.
A noticeable feature in the land
department is the active and largely
increased demand tor lands in Texas
There is in the city now a company of
large capitalists headed by lien
McClernand ot Illinois and repre
sented by Mr. Judson as their agent
whose object is to invest hundreds of
thousands perhaps millions of dollars
in the purchase of public lands in
this state.
The Illinois Company who are
here to purchase lands are probably
surprised to hnd that they have to
await the action of the land board.
One gentleman called on the clerk of
the board ready with a check for $15-
000. The university lands will prob
ably be ottered only tor lease though
the board tor all we know may con
elude at their special meeting to
morrow to sell some or them.
The free school lands will be
offered at public auction to the highest
bidder as soon as the board are ready
to act. They will be sold by counties
alphabetically commencing say with
Angeline county after due
notice in each county and in the
papers by advertisements so that bid
ders from all sections of the county
may be duly apprised of the fact.
Commissioner Walsh's proposition to
dispose of them where there was
most demand for them would perhaps
have been than the alphabetical plan.
As it is judging from the inquiries
for them they will all be disposed of
readily enough.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
The board of regents at their meet-
ing to-morrow will doubtless have a
great deal of work to do incident to
getting the state university into suc-
cessful operation. In this state
where there are such vast land inter-
ests it is important that a chair of
engineering for one thing should be
establishedorat all events.an assistant
professor of mathematics appointed
to assist the professor of mathematics
as an adjunct in the branch of ap-
plied mathematics. Prof. Mallet too
will likely need an assistant in his de-
partment. An important question also is that
of providing quarters temporarily for
the opening of the institution in
event the university is not
completed in time. Per-
haps sufficient temporary accom
modations can be secured in the state
capitol by using the senate chamber
the hall of the house of representa-
tives and other departments In the
state capitol which are not now used
and will not be for some time; say till
January. Boarding provisions for
the students and some arrangement
for female matriculants are matters
that will require some action of the
board.
It is hoped too as The Statesman
has heretofore urged that the resolu-
tion of the board making a discrimina-
tion between the age of male and fe-
male matriculants will be rescinded.

SCIENTIFIC AND MECHANICAL.
For a period of forty-four years
none of the men employed in a Ger-
man ultramarine had been observed
to suffer from consumption. The
immunity of the employes is attribut-
ed to the constant production of sul-
phurous acid by the burning of sul-
phur in the course of the making of
the ultramarine.
Contrary to the statement in the
lat edition of the United States Dis-
pensatory that "the drops from a full
bottle should be less than from one
emptied" Prof. C. F. Himes of Car-
lisle Penn has experimentally dem-
onstrated what anybody can find
out for himself in a few minutes
that drops diminish in size as the bot-
tle is emptied.
it is a mistake to suppose that the
crumbling of brick is due solely to
great variations of temperature. M.
Parive places the disintegration to a
microscopic organism. Atmospheric
action will of course readily second
the destructive effects of that pioneer
penetrator ot all but the most com-
pact and well burned bricks.
Although earth when first dug and
loosely thrown out swells about one-
hith part so that a cubic yard aver-
ages about one and a fifth yards
whemdug or one cubic yard dug is
equal to five-sixth of a cubic yard in
place yet when made into embank-
ment earth gradually subsides set
tles or shrinks into a less bulk than it
occupied before being dug.
Nickel crucibles instead of silver
ones are recommended by M. Meriuet
tor use in chemical manipulations
Nickel indeed is slightly attacked by
melted potash but so is silver itself.
Nickel crucibles cost at first much less
than those made of silver and more-
over they have the great advantage
ot melting at a higher temperature.
it otten happens that inexperienced
chemists melt their silver crucibles in
heating them over a gas lamp; but
such an accident is not to be feared in
working with crucibles made of
nickel.
Maj. Witte says the Journal of the
Franklin Institute has provided the
steam fire engines of the city of Ber-
lin with pipes for the discharge of
compressed carbonic acid into the
steam chamber. When the engine
starts from the station the boiler is
heated; on arriving at the fire the
carbonic acid is first employed as a
motor then the gas and steam work
together and finally steam alone is
used. By this arrangement the en-
gine is brought into action four or
five minutes sooner than would be
otherwise possible.
A comparative table of railway
speeds as given in an English journal
shows that some of the fastest trains
in the world are those run between
Leeds and London. From King's
Cross the distance by the Great North-
ern is 186 miles; and from St. Pan-
creas by the Midland line it is 196
miles. The fastest train on the Great
Northern makes the run in four hours
and five minutes or an average speed
of 45.4 miles an hour; the Midland
trains traverse the distance in four
hours and thirty minutes giving an
average velocity of 43.6 miles an hour.
The fastest train in the world is the
Flying Dutchman broad guage
which makes the run to Swindon at
53 miles an hour. The Great North-
ern trains run from London to York
188 miles at forty-eight miles an
hour and at least one train runs to
Peterborough at fifty-one miles an
hour. There is not in the world a
train timed to run at sixty miles an
hour although it is of course certain
that such velocity is often exceeded;
but. so tar as the machinery or a rail
way is concerned that is the road
rolling stock and signals an average
speed of sixty miles an hour is cer
tainly practicable.
. Another serious Accident.
Again we are called upon to record
a railroad accident that will in all
probability prove fatal to the injured
man. ' A german who talks but little
English and a stranger in the city is
the victim of his own carelessness
this time. His name so near as any
one in these parts knows it is August
Graceprach that is what Officer
Chenneville says he told him it was
and yesterday as the four o'clock
train from the south was backing up
to the station in undertaking to board
it he slipping fell under the
wheels of the car. The car passed
over his left foot and leg entirely
severing the foot from the limb and
otherwise mangling his body. He
was at once taken to the city hospital
and Drs. Cummings and Graves
were called to attend him. They am
putated his limb just below the knee
and hope to save bis lite though Dr.
Cummings told a Statesman repre-
sentative the chances were against
it at this time of the year as the
shock was so great.
Why the man tried to get upon the
train in the manner he did is a good
deal of a mystery. He told Dr. Cum
mings that he had been working as a
section hand and went to the train to
get his money; he told other parties
that he just come from the mountains
and was going back; and to others he
told still another story. Mr. Lawless
says he was trying to get upon the
train for some purpose at the time he
fell and this is about all that can be
learned but he had not purchased a
ticket to any point.

Bitter Bread.
Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread biscuit or cake
raised by them a disagreeable bitter
taste. This taste follows the use of
all impure baking powders and is
caused either by their containing
alum (introduced to make a cheap
article) by the impure and adulter-
ated character of other ingredients
used or from the ignorance of their
manufacturers of the proper methods
of combining them. These baking
powders leave in the bread a residuum
formed of lime earth alum or other
deleterious matters not always
though frequently tastable in the
food and by all physicians classed as
injurious to health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this se-
rious defect. In its use no residuum
is left and the loaf raised by it is al
ways sweet light and wholesome.
and noticeably free from the peculiar
taste complained of. The reason of
this is because it is composed of noth
ing but absolutely pure materials
scientifically combined in exactly the
proper proportions ot acid and alkali
to a t upon and destroy each other.
while producing the largest amount
of raising power. We are justified in
this assertion by the unqualified
statements made by the government
chemists who alter thorough and ex-
haustive tests recommended the
"Royal" for government use because
of its superiority over all others in
purity strength and wholesomaness.

biscuit where it alone is used.

ANOTHER HORRORI
i
THE BIDEL TRAGEDY CAST INTO
THE SHADE. I
A Mother Stamps the Life Out of
Her Four Tear Old Child.
The vicinity of Oatmanville seems '
to be a chosen spot for brutal mur-
ders. Here it was the young Mexican I
killed in cold blood the little girl and
boy as they were on their way home .
from school the details of which are
still fresh in the public mind; but 1
heartless and cruel as was tne murder-
er Ybera the act of the murderess who
last Sunday murdered her little girl I
is tenfold more so. The woman
bears the name of Minnie Lucas and
lives not far from Oatmanville or did
for she is now living behind the iron
grates of the county jaiL
The facts in regard to the fiendish
affair as learned by a Statesman re-
porter are these: Sunday Mrs. Win-
nie Lucas went to a neighbor's who
lives on the farm o 'Squire Pace and
stated to this negro family that her
little girl four years old had been bit-
ten by a tarantula and she was fear-
ful she would not live. Parties went
to see the child and among them Dr.
Stovall and to their horror they
found the little girl dead
not from a spider bite but
dead from terrible bruises. There
were four of these upon the head
any of which would have been cer-
tain death; another on the breast that
would have been fatal in and of itself
and another still upon the back just
as murderous. In fact the dead
child was found to be literaly pound-
ed into a jelly. When the parties
made this discovery they interro
gated the mother as to who had been
at the place ana she promptly an-
swered that no one han been there but
herself. It became evident that she
was the person who had beaten the
little thing in this barbarious man-
ner. Justice Pace accordingly called
an inquest and the facts in regard to
the dark deed were investigated. Dr.
Stovall testified to the character of
the wounds he found upon the body
ana the horrible manner of the child's
death as shown by the undesputable
evidence the body exhibited when
found. He and other parties gave
evidence as to the story
told by Mrs. Lucus about
the child having been bitten by a
spider and her statement that no one
had been at her place except herself.
This evidence of course fixed. the
murder upon the woman and would
be enough to send the fiend to the
gallows; but more horrible than all
was the evidence of a little sister of
the murdered child who when ques-
tioned apart from her mother stated
that she saw her mother kill the girl
She was terribly frightened at hrst.
and stated that her mother had told
her she would serve her in the sam e
way if she told what she had done to
her sister. The child was assured
that her mother would not be allowed
to serve her in that way and when
this had been impressed upon her
mind she freely and candidly in the
simple story of a child recited the
inhuman acts of her mother. She
stated that her mother got angry
at her sister over some trivial matter
and in a rage took her into the yard
near a tree and threw her with great
violence against it several times; then
she took her to the house and laid her
on the floor and after doing that she
jumped upon her with her feet and
actually stamped the psor mangled
body into the horrible condition in
which it was found. Then after she
had done that she said to the
corpse: "There you little d 1
l m rid oi you any way or
words to that effect. She then showed
the mangled corpse of the child to
her other children and told them to
look at it saying in the same connec-
tion "the first one who tells what I
have done will be served in the same
way" and instructed them to say the
dead girl had been bitten by a spider
and that that was the cause of her
death.. Mrs. Lucus was at once ar
rested and is now in the county
jail to answer for this terrible
crime. She is a negress and has
lived some time in that neighborhood.
It is seldom that a newspaper is called
upon to chroncle a crime so revolting
in his horrid details as this one is;
and it tne woman is tound to be guilty
she should be hanged. Jven that is
too good for her.
