A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
To the Editor of Evening Tribune:
Galveston, January 18, 1887.—In
your Monday’s issue headed “Crushed to
Death,” you inserted the testimony of
Chas. Gillane that he and deceased were
on the 12:30 freight which left this city
Sunday morning, which is wholly untrue
as I never testified to that effect. My
testimony was only a repetition of what I
heard from one of the bridge carpenters,
as I am a section-hand myself. Hoping
you will insert the above correction in
your to-day’s issue in justice to me, I re-
main, yours very truly,
Chas. Gillane.
A QUESTION OF SPEED.
In the recorder’s court this morning a
railway engineer was arraigned and
charge of running a locomotive in the
city limits at a rate of speed exceeding
four miles per hour, the highest speed
permitted by law. Several witnesses
were sworn and their testimony proved
conclusively that the average observer is
not a competent witness in such matters.
Two witnesses testified that the engine
was moving no faster than a man would
walk when he was sauntering along,
going no where in particular and had
all day to get there, while others were
equally sure that no race horse could have
kept up with it—that it was sliding over
the track with the speed of an adult
cyclone in search of a country school
house. Some thought it was running
about four, others ten and still others
fifteen miles per hours and the recorder
wiped the preepiration from his heated
brow and dismissed the case.

ANOTnER BUM 8TRIKE.
Officer Ravey reports that of the seven-
teen vans confined in the county jail all
but three of them refused to go to work
this morning. It will be remembered
that when the recent strike occurred the
obstreperous bums were consigned to the
bat cave for a day or two and then
marched across the bridge. Evening
Tribune predicted th. t the proceeding
would encourage others to refuse t i work
in order to secure their release and the
pre fiction is verified. The bum question
is one that is bothering the recorder and
the chief of police considerably. To al-
low' them to run the. streets is not to be
thought of for a moment. To run them
over the bridge is but to get rid of them
temporarily, as most of them drift back,
while to confine them in the county jail
is to saddle the taxpayers with their sup
port. Most of them refuse to work and
those who do consent to do duty on the
streets hardly accomplish euough to jus-
tify the city in paying the police to
guard them. Beside* all this it is a well-
known fact that many honest and indus-
trious meq are forced to tramp at times
by circumstances beyond their control,
and it is not always an easy matter to
distinguish between an honest but un-
fortunate man in search of employment
and the tramp by choice. The tramp
problem has given the authorities of all
the great cities of the land much trouble
and the solution seems to be about as far
off as ever.

AT THE TREMONT.
The White Slave company closed its
engagement at the Tremont last night,
playing to a good-sized audience. While
this play has been well patronized and
fairly received by Galveston theatre-
goers it cannot be said that it possesses
much intrinsic worth or that the company
presenting it is overburdened with dram-
atic ability.
Lily Jlay’s Gaiety company will appear
in Adamless Eden to-night an1 to-mor-
row night. In this production the per-
formers are all women and are alleged to
be beautiful as a poet’s dream and as
shapely as Venus—in other words as de-
liciously enchanting as cosmetics and
sawdust can make them. The company
comes well recommended. Adelaide
Moore will appear on January 21, and
will be followed by Myra Goodwin on
January 26.
“I ISN’T MAD.”
In the Recorder’s court yesterday a
colored man was tried upon a charge of
aggravated assault, preferred by his wife.
When it came to testifying in court
against the partner of her joys and sor-
rows the woman weakened and would
not say much that would criminate him.
The recorder became impatient and be-
trayed his Irish lienage by dismissing
the case with the following remark:
“Don’t come up here if he strikes you
again, unless he kills you, in which case
your complaint will be entertained.’
The couple looked at each other, edged a
little closer together, and by the time
the stairway was reached all was for
given and forgotten and white-winged
p: ace roosted once more on the family
mantelpiece.
AT REST.
Mr. Benjamen H. Jacobs, formerly of
the firm of Kory & Jacobs, died at an early
hour yesterday morning at the family resi-
dence, 260 Postoffice street. Mr. Jacobs
was forty-two years of age, in the
very prime of life and was greatly
esteemed by all who knew him. He was
a native of Germany, had been in busi
ness here for some years ^ast and was a
member of the Masonic order and various
other societies. He leaves a wife and five
children, the youngest a babe but two
months old. The funeral occurred at 4
o’clock yesterday afternoon, Rabbi Silver
man officiating.
A HANDSOME PRESENT.
Mr. Edward Torrey, the genial head
clerk at the Tremont hotel, was yester-
day presented with a handsome testimon-
ial of regard by Mr. T. B. Gale. It is an
ornamental star, ornamented with a
beautiful wreath, and pendant from a
solid gold bar upon which the word
Texas is engraved. On the reverse side
is the following inscription: “Edward
Torrey from T. B. Gale, faithful service,
five years, Jan. 1887.” The souvenir is
beautiful in design and from a delicate
and fiting testimonial of the esteem in
which Mr. Torry is held by his employer.

Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are em-
phatically a genial restorative. The
changes which this great botanic remedy
produces in the disordered orgnization
are always agreeably, though surely pro-
gressive, never abrupt and violent. On
this account it is admirably adapted to
persons of delicate constitution and weak
nerves, to whom the powerful minera’
drugs are positively injurious. That L
initiates those processes which result in
the re-establishment of heathful vigor
is conspicuously shown in cases whe e it
is taken to overcome that fruitful cause
of debility, indigestion, coupled, as it
usually is, with biliousne-s and constipa-
tion. Thorough’ digestion, regular
evacuation and abundant secretion, are
results which promptly and invariably
attend its systematic-use. It is, besides,
the be3t protective against malaria, and
a first rate diuretic.

Nibbling Bread and Sipping Apollinaris.
A Dinner at Delmonico’s.
Henry Ward Beecher is fond of attend-
ing public dinners, although on such oc-
casions he scarcely ever eats anything.
While those around him are stowing
away all of the solids and fluids within
their reach the Plymouth pastor nibbles
bread and sips Apollinaris. He, how-
ever, keeps up a steady flow of talk that
puts every person within sound of his
voice in a merry humor. Mr. Beecher’s
presence at a banquet insures an enjoya-
ble evening to all of the other partici-
pants. It seems impossible for him to
talk and not be entertaining. No matter
how many other distir guished men and
able speakers there im y be at the festive
board, Beecher is sure to be the oratori-
cal lion of the feast. His versatility and
eloquence seem to have no limit. He
says that he never prepares himself for
an after dinner speech, but takes his'cue
from the inspiration of the moment.
“Oh, please do not put me down for any
stated topic, ’ ’ he mvariably remonstrates
when approached by the toast master;
“just let me know when my turn comes
to speak and I will rattle off something. ’ ’
One night at Delmonico's, after a partic-
ularly effective speech by Mr. Beecher, a
newspaper reporter asked “the old man
eloquent” for his notes. Mr. Beecher
handed the reporter a crumpled bit of
paper on which were traced almost illegi-
bly the words “Huxley,” “Darwin,”
‘ ‘Pshaw. ’ ’
It is Mr. Beecher’s boast that he never
wore a dress coat. He wears his every
day suit of black broadcloth wherever, he
goes, and though he may be—as he often
is—the only man among 200 or 300 ban-
queters not attired in the regulation even-
ing dress, nobody would notice any in-
congruity. Beecher’s strong personality
completely overshadows such petty de-
tails as dress. About three years ago a
big dinner was given at Delmonico’s by
the chamber of commerce, at which there
were present President Arthur, Gen.
Grant, Governor Cleveland and the gov-
ernors of ten other states. The affair was
intended to be very ‘ ‘swell’ ’ and so it was.
Mr. Beecher arrived late, and a few of his
friends could not help noticing that he
had paid less attention to his toilet than
usual. But the sturdy expounder had no
apologies to offer. In the course of his
speech, which was one of the most elo-
quent he was ever heard to utter, he ex-
plained that he had just come from his
farm at Peekskill and had hurried to
catch the train. The charm of his ora-
tory set the company wild with enthusi-
asm, and at the finish, after the cheering
and waving of handkerchiefs and napkins
had ceased, Gen. Grant clasped the speak-
er’s hand and in tones of genuine admira-
tion said: “Mr. Beecher, I don’t know
what kind of a farmer you are, but as a
talker you are ‘some pumpkins. ’ ’ ’
On a subsequent occasion the Plymouth
pastor made a notable speech in Delmoni-
co’s. It was at a great banquet given in
honor of Henry Irving. Mr. Beecher’s
tribute to the drama and his word pict-
ures of some of Shakespeare’s noblest
creations touched chords of sympathy in
every listener’s heart. The demonstra-
tion that followed the speech lasted nearly
three minutes, and almost every person
in the room evinced an irrepressible desire
to shake hands with Mr. Beecher.. More
than 100 of the menus were passed up to
receive the autographs of Mr. Irving and
Mr. Beecher. The writer of these recol-
lections was one of the guilty persons who
solicited those autographs, and after he
had obtained them lie showed the card to
poor John McCullough, who wrote under
the two names: “The pulpit and the
stage—the powerful educators of the
world—John McCullough.”—New York
Times.
Getting Rid of Fat.
An eye witness describes an apparatus
recently constructed for the anti-fat cures
of Professors Schweninger, Oertal and
Ebstein in the following humorous way:
‘ ‘Imagine to yourself a gentleman of al-
dermanic rotundity, standing in a sort of
treadmill, and hard at work trying to
mount an imaginary staircase without
eyer getting above the first step, inas-
much as the upper ones are constantly re-
ceding under his weight. This exercise
may strengthen his lungs and even make
him lose a pound or two of adipose; but
the total effect would not be half accom-
plished, if the builder of this gymnastio
machine had not also, in addition to this
simulated mountain ascension, taken care
to provide for a corresponding change of
air. The physical exertion of ascending
the continuously descending steps, causes
the unhappy climber to set in motion a
system of bellows, which inhale the outer
air and blow it full in his face. Instead
of the common street air, however, the
victim can also be made to inhale air im-
pregnated with extract of pine and other
forest trees, and oxygen, thereby pro-
curing him, witljin the walls of the city,
the illusion of filling his lungs with the
invigorating ah of high mountains. Be-
sides all this, the steps are so constructed
as to be placed more perpendicularly, if
desired, in imitation of a steep mountain.

The White House Painting of Arthur.
Mr. Andrews, the artist, who has just
returned from Paris, has been credited
with painting the portrait of Arthur
which hangs in the White House. He
did only the retouching of the portrait to
satisfy Arthur’s taste. The original pict-
ure was painted by another noted artist,
and though its head was very good, the
body was too small, It represented that
of a man weighing about 150 pounds,
whereas Arthur, weighed over 200. When
this artist died, leaving this and a picture
of Grant as the sole inheritance of his
widow, Andrews, in order to aid the
widow, agreed to repaint the lower part
of the picture. He did it by laying a
glass over the picture from the shoulders
down, and then painting a new body
upon this glass to fit the head of the pic-
ture. When it was completed he showed
it to Arthur. Arthur liked it and gave
him directions to change the picture to
correspond, and to paint out the rose
which was lying on the floor at his feet,
Andrews did this, and Arthur took the
picture.—Cleveland Leader.
How much has been written about the
paths which lead to glory and the grave!
But it seems that the paths of glory
which lead to the grave are allopath and

WINTER.
The winter, O the winter I
Who does not know it well?
When day after day, the fields stretch gray,
And the peewit wails on the fell.
When we close up the crannies and shut out the
cold,
And the wind sounds hoarse and hollow,
And our dead loves sleep in the churchyard
mo’.l.
And we pray that we soon ftiay follow;
In the winter, mournful winter,
—Alfred Austin.
PECULIARITIES OF FASTING.
A Scientific Man’s Theory—Some Singu-
lar Cases—The Feeling of Hunger.
M. Bernheim, of the Nancy faculty,
who has just made his reviews public in
The Revue Scientifique, is disposed to
believe in M. Succi, and does not find
anything very extraordinary in fasting,
per ce. Thus he cites the cases of patients
ill of typhoid fever, who remain weeks
without taking nourishment, and still do
not die. In a disease to which young
girls are especially liable, known as
* ‘nervous anorexv, ’ ’ or loathing of food,
which is characterized by a total loss of
appetite, the patient for weeks and even
months eats nothing, or scarcely any
thing. In this connection M. Bernheiiii
quotes the case of a young girl who was
unable to keep food on her stomach
through constant vomiting, although she
had a good appetite and ate and drank.
She lived over a year in that condition,
although it was impossible to say by
what life was supported. Thus a healthy
person will die after a few days’ fast,
while an invalid will linger for weeks
under the same conditions.
The writer explains this curious an-
omaly by the theory that the healthy man
does not realy die of inanition, since he
is a colossus in comparison with the
emaciated invalid who drags himself
through the weeks like a walking corpse,
or with the convalescent from typhoid,
who, though reduced to nothing but skin
and bone, still recovers his health. The
inference, therefore, is that it is hunger
that kills and not inanition, or rather
that hunger kills before inanition. Thus,
to keep the starving man from dying, we
must take away the feeling of hunger.
To support tins ingenious hypothesis—
an hypothesis which Succi’s experiments
would seem to bear out, as he asserts that
he does away with the sensation of hun-
ger by the use of his remarkable liquid—
the case is cited of Guillaine Granie, a
prisoner, who determined to starve him-
self to death in his cell at Toulouse, in
1831. This faster lived just seventy-
three days on nothing but water, but at
his death his body only weighed twenty-
six kilos, or less than fifteen pounds! Pa-
tients suffering from melancholia have
also been known to live from twenty to
sixty days without eating, and, gener-
ally, it may be said, that any powerful
emotion greatly modifies the feeling of
hunger.
Dr. Sowicke gives the particulars in
the cases of eight miners who were im-
jjrisoned'in a coal pit at Boi3 Monzil for
135 hours, or over five days, during
which time life was supported on two
glasses of wine and half a pound of
bread, which they shared between them.
They could also quench their thirst with
water. When released they declared
that they had suffered but very little. M.
Lepine quotes the experience of a girl
who swallowed a quantity of sulphuric
acid, which seven months after the acci-
dent resulted in the complete eating away
of the gullet. She lingered on for six-
teen days, complaining not of hunger,
but sometimes of thirst.—New York
Graphic.
Th* World’s Hungry Children.
I sometimes wonder how anybody with
a heart can endure to live in so unjustly
balanced a world. There are so many to
suffer, while so few are really happy.
There are so many who go hungry while
pet dogs are pampered and beribboned,
poodles and cats are fed and caressed.
There are so many little children who
never knew how a juicy tenderloin tastes
or how good for the stomach a hot and
creamy cup can prove. There are so many
frozen and flattened little nozes pressed
against the outer pane, while warmth and
feasting go on within. “My eye!” said
one of these little noee-flatteners in my
hearing once, “smell the soup, Johnnie!”
Did he ever taste it, I wonder, poor lit-
tle man? Did any revelation of its
warmth and cheer ever reach him, save
through the sad little nipped nose of his.
Oh, for another “Pied Piper” to gather
the hungry children from off the streets,
and out from the shadow of squalid
homes, not to entomb them in the hill-
side, but to sit them down to a dinner as
fine as your dog has daily, madam.
In Munich, they tell me, there are
tables spread constantly for the poor,
where they may eat without pay and go
their way. In such a city as this, per-
haps the free spreads would call together
a rabble and create a riot; brazen effront-
ery would often crowd actual merit to the
wall, and the lazy vagabond would get his
fill, while the timid woman and the little
child went hungry; but, even then, the
vast burden of pressing want would be
lifted, and we who eit at bountiful tables
and bask before warm fires would not
feel quite so selfish and so mean.—“Am-
ber” in Chicago Journal.
Grounds for Divorce in China.
The Chinese have a firm belief in mar-
riages being made in heaven. A certain
deity, whom they call ‘ ‘The Old Man in
the Moon, ’ ’ links with a silken cord, they
say, all predestined couples. Early mar-
riage is earnestly inculcated. One of
their maxims states that there are three
cardinal sins, and that to die without
offspring is the chief. As in other coun-
tries, spring is the time when young peo-
ple’s minds turn to thoughts of love, and
most marriages are celebrated in Febru-
ary, when the peach tree blossoms appear.
Among the marriage presents are live
geese, which are supposed to be emble-
matical of the concord and happiness of
the marriage state. A Chinaman may
divorce his wife for seven different rea-
sons, and in the list are ill-temper and a
talkative disposition. The birth of a son
is the occasion of much rejoicing, for
without sons a man lives without honor
and dies unhappy, with no one to worship
at his grave and none to continue the
family line.—Nineteenth Century.

It gives us great pleasure to state that
the merchant who was reported as being
at the point of death from an attack of
pneumonia, has entirely recovered by the
use of Dr. William Hall’s Balsam for the

the benefits derived from using this rem-
edy, for the lungs and throat; and in
giving publicity to this statement we are
actuated by motives of public benefac-
tion, trusting that others may be bene-
fitted in a similar manner.
