SOMETIMES EQUALLED, BUT NEVER
EXCELLED.
This restaurant is now the most com-
modious one in Galveston, aaving a
greater seating capacity than any other,
thus adapting it particularly for theater
parties.
‘ The proprietor .would say in conclusion,
that the liberals support he has hereto-
fore received was'such that he has spared
no expense in making these necessary
improvements, ‘ that he believes he may
safely claim that the assortment and
quality of the' food, the excellence of the
cuisine and the character of service of
the Pickwick can not be surpassed in any
restaurant in Texas.
He confidently invites inspection, asks
approval and solicits patronage. Espe-
cially does he address himself to- the more
prosperous citizens of Galveston, as well
as to the traveling public generilly.
Very respectfully,

THE GALLAHER CASE.
Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing .and while
this may be largely due to the excite-
ment and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart failure is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
ble and poor digestion, is because both
organs are controlled by branches of the
same -great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is af-
fected by that form, of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food; there is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpita-
tion and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at mest drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments, in a pleasant, convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia- Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble, except cancer of stomach.
Full sized packages of the tablets sold
by druggists at 50 cents.
Little book on stomach troubles mailed
free. Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
Stop a moment. Don’t rush through life.

features of interest, and also invites ex- .l"
amination of the entire premises:
The restaurant has been broadened 10
feet from front to rear; newly painted,
papered and refurnished. This increase
of width gives a private entrance for
ladies, and besides an inclosed passage-
way for employes from the outer dining
room to kitchen, thus no longer subject-
ing guests in ladies’ dining room, here, as
still exists elsewhere, to the sight of meal
orders from kitchen to outer room, nor to
the more disagreeable one of empty
dishes returned. Moreover, the same or-
der and cleanliness that exists in open
view prevails in other parts of the res-
taurant.
The food supplied today is of the same
grade as in the past. All that the season
affords, prepared by first class cooks, and
served by white waiters, who are polite,
competent and properly clad in white
duck.
The charges are as the times demand—
“popular prices.” At the lunch counter
are ready cooked dishes for dinner and
others for supper (besides those cooked to
order) for from 10 cents upward. And
for 25 cents is served a “regular” meal,
which in former years would have read-
ily brought $1. Of these , regular meals is
a change daily, consisting of a variety of
solid food, commencing with soup and
finishing with dessert, tea, coffee or milk.
With our bill of fare of game; fish,
fowl, meats, - vegetables, fruits and, in
fact, all delicacies of the season, we are
satisfied that the “Pickwick” meets the
requirements of .a first class Ladies’ Din-
ing Room, Restaurant and Oyster House.
We make a specialty of Oyster Loaves
and French Rolls and Coffee, and the

Yesterday, although the Sabbath, was
also Izaak Walton’s day. During the
afternoon the shrimp were “running” in
great numbers along the harbor front
and many were caught in cast nets. The
knowing ones took advantage of the fall
tides and cast their lines in such pleas-
ant places as Highland and Dickinson
bayous and Clear Creek and returned
on the early evening trains loaded down
with redfish, trout and sheepshead. There
is always 'good fishing during the fall
in the streams entering Galveston bay,
and lovers of the rod and line are em-
bracing the opportunity.

„ RICHMOND, VA. Q
On the morning of Aug. 14 last, Mrs.
Kate■ Gallaher, for many years a teach-
er in the public schools of Galveston, and
a most estimable lady of Galveston, and
have been murdered in her modest home
at the intersection of 13th street and ave-
nue K, after the flames which enveloped
the house had been extinguished.
The body when found was so blackened
and charred as to be almost unrecog-
nizable. Her throat had been cut from
ear to ear, and the murderer had then set
Are to the bedding in. order to hide his
crime. The unfortunate woman’s throat
had been cut with a very sharp instru-
ment and the jugular vein severed. The
face was blackened and shriveled by
fire, but the hair was not burned away.
The limbs and body were charred, but
not consumed.
Shortly after murder the police made
a minute examination of the premises.
Virgil Gallaher, the only child of the
murdered woman, was at the house when
the police arrived, but exhibited no ex-
citement and discussed the tragedy with
apparent indifference. Three hours after
the body had been discovered it was de-'
cided to take him into custody.
.He was taken to the station and sub-
jected to a rigid examination, which he
bore very coolly, but finally told the whole
story of the murder, which, briefly item-
ized, is that his mother had given him
$5 with which to purchase some clothing.
That he put the money in his pocket,
came to town, visited a variety show and
spent the money. Knowing that his moth-
er kept money in the house, he returned
for the purpose of securing it, and when
in the act of taking the contents of the
pocket book, saw his mother move in
Then he seized a razor and
made the fatal lunge.
He then ran cut of the house and re-
turned to the variety theater, where he
spent the proceeds of the crime,
in the night he returned to- the house and
after glancing at the corpse, decided to
fire the building, which he did. He after-
wards returned and again tried to- fire
the place. Failing in this he went to the
Sealy hospital, and returned at 4.30 a. m.,
when he made the third and more suc-
cessful attempt at arson. He again left
and returned at 6 o’clock in che morn-
ing, when a butcher informed him of the
terrible tragedy. He freely admitted his
guilt and desired to pay the penalty of
the law.
The crime having been committed in
August and there being no session of the
criminal district court until this month,
the prisoner was not indicted until some
two weeks ago.
The case was set for trial at 10 o’clock '
this morning and the sheriff directed to
summon a special venire of 150 jurors,
from which to select 12 men to try the
case.
At an early hour the court room began
to fill with persons attracted by the
morbid curiosity which prompts so many
to desire to look upon the faces of those
charged with grave crimes, but they were
doomed to disappointment.
A Tribune reporter was on hand early
and saw Mr. James Gallaher, the father
of the accused, in the court room. Mr.
Gallaher stated to the reporter that Mr.
John A. Harrington, who had been ex-
pected to appear for the defense, had
been confined to his home by illness for
a week, and that a physician’s certifi-
cate to that effect had been presented to
Judge Cavin. Mr. Gallaher further stated
to the reporter that he (Gallaher) would,
in the absence of counsel, ask for a con-
tinuance as provided by law.
He further stated that so far as his
knowledge went there had been no prep-
arations for defense, “except,” he added,
“I have scanned the jury list and marked
it for the purpose of information,” con-
cluding by remarking: “All the friends I
had died before the war.”
Later he stepped to the table, and said
to the reporter: “The sheriff has just
telephoned to the jail for the officers not
to bring ‘Virgie’ (meaning his son) to the
court room.”
Shortly after 10 o’clock Judge Cavin en-
tered the court room, and Deputy Sher-
iff James W. Wood rapped the audience
to order.
The names, of the petit jurors for the
week on the regular panel were then
called, and they were sworn.
The judge then said: “All the special
jurors and witnesses in the Gallaher case
are excused until the next term of the
court.”
The following shows the grounds on
which the case was continued:
“Galveston, Tex., Nov. 22.—Hon. E. D.
Cavin, Judge of the Criminal District
Court.—Dear Sir: Enclosed find certifi-
cate of Dr. A. F. Sampson as to my con-
dition. It will be utterly impossible, for
me to attend court this week. I shall,
therefore, have to ask for a continuance
of the case of Virgil Gallaher. I am the
only counsel he has—my fee has been
raised by outside friends, he having no
funds of his own or his immediate fam-
ily. I have given his case careful atten-
tion and have employed much time in its
preparation and f knoyv his defense can
not be prepared by other counsel at this
term. I will agree to have the case set
at a very early day at the next term, so
that as little delay may be had as possi-
ble. Very truly,
“JOHN A HARRINGTON,
“Attorney for Virgil Gallaher.”
The doctor’s certificate which accom-
panies the above, reads as follows:
To whom it may concern: This is to
certify that John A. Harrington is con-
fined to his bed by sickness, and will not
be capacitated for several days to pursue
his avocation.

Progressive lyceum was well attended
yesterday and many helpful thoughts were
drawn from “In Knowledge There Is Safe-
ty.” The hall was well filled with an ap-
preciative audience at the evening service
for Mr. Ring’s inspirational lecture from
the subject “A Bright- Light Shines With-
in.” It was an earnest appeal for man to
look with compassion on the material
darkness that surrounds the human soul
and with the greatest charity remember
that the human family is one great broth-
erhood and that the spark of divinity m
the soul shines brightly and steadily on.
He closed with a very appropriate impro-
vised rhyme. Mr. E. Fries added very
much to the music of the service with
Longley’s “The Golden Gates Are Left
Ajar.” ______

There is no wonman living who has not
some time or other been told that she
was pretty. It dbesn’t matter' a bit
that the world at large, canncot see it,
some one will. This, probably accounts
for the content even very ugly feminines
possess where their looks are concerned.

Many women who have spent the sum-

buying Paris frocks at our big shops, for
in many cases they find it more profitable
to secure a French wardrobe and avoid
the troubles of the tariff; but why they
should- be so sly about it is the puzzle.
