Editor Alvin Sun : In your issue of
October 7th, there appears a card
signed by F. M. Duke, J. B. Moore,
F. Mac jem am. L. M. Preston, in
which they state, that th-? petition
requesting range cattle to be kept off
the streets, was •‘misrepresented” to
them. As we had the privilege of
presenting this petition, we imme-
diately called in person upon these
gentleman, asking wherein we had
•‘misrepresented” the matter. They
assured us in the most positive and
unequivocal terms, that we had not
‘‘misrepresented” anything to them,
and that they had not intended to
convey that impression, but only
that they themseves had misunder-
stood it. and that they would correct
tbe statement through the eoluma of
the Sun. This they have failed to do,
and hence in justice to us we ask you
to publish this.

Homeless of Londcn.
From an investigation made by the
medical officer of the Lonaon county
council, acetrding to a writer In a
recert issue of the New York Medical
Record, it is estimated that one in
every 2,000 of the population ot the
city of London is homeless. A cen-
sus of the jM rsone who could not pay
for a night's lodging in the cheapest
of lodging houses and passed the
night out of doors In the streets, or
under arches, or In the recesses of
front doors, or on landings and stair-
cases of ten-aments where the doors
had been left open, revealed such a
number in a certain district that the
officer felt justified to make the 'sti-
mate presented to the ccuncil. On
the night this Investigation was un-
dertaken there were 6,000 vacant beds
in the lodging houses.

The eight largest diamonds in the
world are what are known as crown
jewels, and their weight is given be-
low. Some of them are in an uncut
state and others are carefully cut ar J
finished, su that there is a wide dif-
ference in their value The Kohlnoor,
the smallest in weight, has been thus
reduced by cutting and is much the
most valuable of the lot and has been
estimated at (2,000,000. None of these
mentioned, is estimated at less than

The deceased was born in Green-

where he lived until 1849. In that
year he went to California, which
proved to be perilous journey, suffer-

He remained in California three
years and was ooe Among the few
who met with success. Dr. Carlton
came to Texas in 1859. When the
civil war broke out he joined the
Confederate army in Debray’s regi-
ment. He was in the battles of Shi-
loh and the seige of Vicksburg and
many other hard fought engage-
ments. He was one of the contrac-

bringing the Indians from Georgia to
Alabama. He was a member of the
Sixteenth Texas legislature from
Jefferson county and took a promi-

body, having his state at heart. He

Prof. Shirley has beet, -ending sta-

the public school of the UnitedStates.
It is simply appalling! I wonder
what per cent of the Alvin public
school boys, are users of tobacco and
•■specially of the worst of all, the
cigarette! And how many fathers
are teaching, by example, their boys
the use of tobacco? Tbe cigarette is
ns sure to stunt the buy physcally,
mentally and morally, as he uses it.
And the younger your boy begins the
quicker it will do the work.
In some of the larger cities, the
habit is so prevalent tha from 72 and
83 per cent of the boy < enrolled, are
e garette users. Fathers! Mothers!
