At South Galveston.
The old Mott mansion, some 13 miles
down the island, which now goes by
the more imposing name of South Gal-
veston, is rapidly becoming a favorite
summer resort, and if transportation
was effected by electric cars or a
naptha launch there would be suffi-
cient visitors to fill a small hotel all
the year round, as many would go there
to shoot duck and other game during
the winter months.
At present there are several well
known Galvestonians rusticating in
this pleasant spot, viz: Aiderman Bor-
den, wife and family, F. B. Nichols,
wife and two children, Mrs. Darlington
Miller and others.
The place abounds in shade trees;
the children sport themselves on the
lake, which is not deep enough to
drown them if they tried; the fishing
is good and there are plenty of doves
and other birds to shoot in the woods.

The woman in front turned slightly
and looked furiously at the colonel,but
he apparently didn’t see her, and con-
tinued just as the curtain was going
down on the first act:
“You see natural birds are expen-
sive. They cost three times as much
as these inventions of the milliners,
made up of rubber, wire, glass and
dyed goose feathers. That hat is a
beauty, and I should say it cost a good
price if it did not have that artificial
bird on it. That makes me suspect
that it’s all show and probably cheap.”
Then the colonel went out to “see a
man.”. When he returned the hat was
gone. Its owner held it on her lap.
The colonel chuckled to himself, those
about him smiled, and the woman in
front was apparently deeply engrossed
in the ‘ ‘ads” in her programme. —N. Y.
Recorder.
Tribune representative of the enthusi-
astic reception given the idea of an
Inter-American exposition at Galves-
ton upon the part of Colorado people.
Hon. John F. Shafroth, congressman-
elect from Denver, told Mr. Cullum he
would work earnestly in favor of a
government arpropriation and believes
$1,000,000 can be secured. Mr. Cullum
met and talked with a great many prom-
inent Coloradoans and found them all
in favor of the enterprise.
“I saw Mr. J. W. Teller, brother of
the senator,” said'Mr. Cullum, “and
he said he felt certain that the senator
would give especial attention to a bill
making an appropriation for such an
exposition. He based his’opinion upon
his brother’s wellknown views upon the
idea of the west trading with the out-
side world through gulf ports.
“We are making greater strides in
this exposition movement than our home
people imagine and I am delighted to
learn that arrangements are now about
completed to thoroughly canvass the
west and -find out just how matters
stand. ”

She wept upon his shoulder, but as he
had on his linen duster, preparatory to
going away for a year, the damage
amount to but little.
“And shall I find you unchanged when
I return, dearest?” he asked.
“I—I do not know,” she sobbed.
He could feel his hat cracking under
the stress of the wave of doubt and
jealousy that swept through his brain.
He gasped and moistened his parched
lips, but could frame not a word. She
continued:
“I do not know, dear; I cannot tell at
this early day what color of hair will
be in style then.”—Indianapolis Jour-

The Sailors of the Armada Were Not Prop-
erly Fed.
The unwieldy Armada was beaten
with quick-firing small guns, mounted
in ships which could be turned with
ease. Though the men in them were
(fortunately) sea dogs of the toughest
breed, their condition seems to have
been an exceptionally hard one, as com-
pared with that of other sailors at the
time. This arose not by reason of the
severity of discipline in the navy, but
because they were specially ill fed.
In the section of Sir Walter Raleigh’s
treatise “On Victualling” he complains
that it was “very scant and dishonor-
able, to the great slander of the navy,
to the discouragement of all them that
are pressed thereunto, and to the
hindrance of his majesty’s service.
For that many times they go (though
the going was compulsory, by the
way,) with a great grudging to
serve in his majesty’s ships, as
if it were to be slaves in the
galleys, so much do they stand
in fear of penury and hungry; the case
being clean contrary in all merchant
ships.” Their “due allowance,” he
says, “was very large and honorable in
his majesty’s ships, and would be
greatly to the encouragement and
strengthening of the mariners and sol-
diers that serve in them if it were
faithfully distributed * * * and
therefore the purveyors' and victualers
are much to be condemned, as not a
faulty in that behalf, who make no
little profit of these peelings, which is
cause very lamentable, that such as
sit in ease at home should raise a
benefit out of their hunger and thirst
that serve their prince and» country
painfully abroad, whereof there hath
a long time been great complainings
bat small reformation.”
In his section “Of Beer Casks,” Sir
Walter gives a specimen of the way in
which those who fought the Spanish
Armada were treated, so far as their
feeding was concerned. He says that
much of the men’s beer was “ever lost
and cast away,” because “the victual-
ers, for cheapness, will buy stale casks
that have been used for herrings, train
oil, fish and other «such unsavory
things, and thereinto fill the beer that
is provided for the king’s ships.” Be-
sides, he adds, “the casks is commonly
so ill hooped as that there is waste and
leaking made of the fourth part of the
drink, were it never so gobd. ”—Good
Words.

“BUDWEISER”
The Little Lecture That the Colonel Gave
Was Necessary.
“Did you ever see a bird like that
alive?” demanded the colonel of the
young man who sat next to him.
He was staring at the strange speci-
men on the hat in front, which cut off
his view of the stage.
The wearer of. the hat became in-
tensely interested in the play, and the
chivalrous young man glared at the
colonel savagely, but made no reply.
“I say did you ever see such a bird
alive?” repeated the colonel, nudging
the young man vigorously to enforce
his attention. Then he answered him-
self:
“No, sir; no such a bird ever lived.
Look at that combination of colors.
^Nature isn’t good enough as a pattern
(for these milliners. They must have
impossible combinations and devise
birds whose colors and shape would
rive an ornithologist the nightmare.”
The young man glared. The wearer
of the hat became nervous.
“There’s a whole lot of sentiment
wasted over the slaughter of song
birds for millinery purposes,” con-
tinued the 'colonel. >‘Very few song
birds or any other kind are killed.
They are not wanted. Nature could
not supply birds with such bills and
tails and colors as these women want.
It s the same thing in flowers. Why,
I know a woman who insists on hav-
ing the rose in her hat dyed blue, be-
cause blue is more becoming to her.”
Apparently no one was’ listening to
him, but the colonel knew the wearer
of the hat was not missing a word.
“I like to see a pretty hat,” he went
,on, “but when 1 see an impossible bird
jlike that one it loses, all interest for
me, It’s like seeing a well-dressed
LITTLE GIRL’S GOWN,
extremely pretty fancy samples are shown,
and the indications are that costumes will
be matched in- all shades from black to
white.
Godet skirts, In order to hang well, must
be held in place by a strong flat elastic run
under the godets inside the skirt. As these
skirts are always lined of necessity, the
elastic may be attached to the lining alone
without showing on the outside. The in-
side of every fold should be thus tacked,
which will keep the godets in shape under
all trying circumstances.
It is the fashion for men to carry valua-
ble canes. Whether it is in the best taste
or not is another question. If women dress
to please men, men likewise dress to please
women, and refined women usually prefer
a man who is not foppish, and who regards
his clothes as he does his toothbrush—that
is, as one of the necessities of civilization,
to be employed conscientiously and kept
immaculately clean, but not as the end and
aim of existence. However, as has been
said, expensive canes are the style, and the
primarily fashionable man keeps a large
assortment of them. They are of malacca
set with gold and crystal, or tortoise shell
in which are placed diamonds, turquoises
and other precious stones, sometimes in
the form of the cipher of the owner. Other
canes are finished with a duck’s head in
gold, which is hollow and fitted to hold
matches.
A little girl’s gown is shown in the
sketch. It is of bluet wool goods and has
a full skirt gathered on the belt of a blouse
bodice. The skirt is plain, and the bodice
is gathered at the throat and waist. A
high collar of black satin, with bows, fin-
ishes the neck, while a belt to match sur-
rounds the waist. The full sleeves stop at
the elbow and are partly covered by deep,
full epaulets of white lace. The fastening
of the gown is in the back, invisible among
the folds. ____________Judic Chqllet.
Marly receipts as published still call
for cream of tartar and soda, the old-
fashioned way of raising. Modern
cooking and expert cooks do not sanc-
tion this old way. In all such receipts
the Royal Baking Powder should be
substituted without fail.

For The Tribune.
Galveston, Tex., July 30.—In rela-
tion to a serious complaint, the details
of which have been aired on various
occasions through the columns of the
local press, we ask for space in your
valued paper to assist us in denouncing
this growing evil. We refer to the un-
loading of the city’s garbage and swill,
in fact, of the vilest stuff of decayed
vegetation and deceased animals, at
Thirty-fourth street connection with
the bay front?. As stated in previous
reports we, citizens and taxpayers liv-
ing in this immediate vicinity, are ex-
posed to and suffer from the inhaling
of the stench arising from this deposi-
tion and terms of the strongest kind
are inadequate to express the annoy-
ance and consequences.
While we refrain from repeating
particulars as to the health-impairing
propensities, as well as the conditions
which deprive us of the comforts of our
homes, we will not restrain our opinion
regarding certain rights which the
city laws no doubt grant, and that is
that the reckless unconcerned way in
which dead animals and decomposed
provisions are dumped on the trash
pile is illegal.
The odor of the trash pile being of
such extraordinarily penetrating na-
ture, the writer of this walked over the
accumulation of trash and counted at a
glance, exposed to the parching sun,
not less than four dead chickens, nine
rats, one dog, countless heads of
turkeys and ducks, numberless rem-
nants of decayed fish and a large
amount of rotten eggs, potatoes and so
on. The veracity of this statement can
be corroborated by Mr. Mallina, a city
employe, in charge of the spreading of
the garbage as it is unloaded at the
locality by the city drays.
In interrogation, Mr. Mallina stated
that it was compulsory for one of the
drays to pick up toward evening all
the dead animals'delivered at the trash
pile during the daysund remove them
to a place at the outskirts of the city,
but a colored dray driver engaged in
hauling swill deuiech this. It is and
has never been [attended to anyway
and plenty of evidence at the loath-
some place shows the non-compliance
with this rule, if the latter exists at all.
Now, reader, consider kindly for a
moment such a statexsf affairs existing
in a town of the proportions of Galves-
ton, the locality of the nuisance being
almost in the very heart of the city.
Every nook and corner of our premises
is infested with this unendurable
smell; from cellar!;to garret there is no
refuge; it is nothing but stink and
stench in its superlative form, without
yielding or stoppings

The city council held a special meet-
ing yesterday for the purpose of con-
cluding the election of police officers.
Prior to the meeting the police com-
mission had a conference and received
a petition from several aidermen ask-
ing that W. R. McCarthy be appointed
day clerk and John Roberts night ser-
geant. The commissioners filed the
petition.
It was a little after 4 o’clock when
Acting Mayor Harrington rapped for
order. All the aidermen were present
except Reymershoffer and Ogilvy. As
soon as the council convened, Mayor
Harrington stated that the commission
had held a meeting and decided to
place in nomination for day clerk and
night sergeant the same names as
previously recommended. There was
no desire, he said, on the part of the
commission to be stubborn, but he
thought both men whose names were
recommended were good men and
were acceptable to those most
concerned. It was necessary, he said,
that men should be chosen for both
positions who were in harmony with
the chief of police, and the commission
recommended those whom the chief de-
sired. The day clerk handled large
sums of money for which the chief was
responsible, and he said that any name
that the chief might suggest for his
clerk would first be considered by the
commission. No charges had been
preferred against these gentlemen, and
the commission again recommended
them.
When Acting Mayor Harrington had
concluded, Aiderman Webber said that
Messrs. McCracken and Pither had
been nominated three times and he
did not think a renomination was in
conformity with the charter. Someone
told Mr. Webber that it was.the fourth
time they had been placed in nomina-
tion.
“Then,” said Aiderman Webber, “I
object.” He said that, according to
the charter, one name could only be
submitted to the council three times.
He said he was tired of minority rule
and believed the council should have
something to say in the matter.
Aiderman West made a few re-
marks concerning the present day
clerk.
At this juncture Aiderman Webber
read from the charter that one name
could not be submitted for one position
more than three times.
Mayor Harrington said that that
portion of the charter did not apply to
the police commission, who simply
recommended.
City Attorney Ballinger was of the
opinion that Mayor Harrington was
right.
It was asked whether both of the ap-
plicants for positions had been ex-
amined by the commission and Aider-
man Skinner replied that they had
been.
Aiderman Webber asked if John
Pither was filling the position of night
sergeant by appointment.
It was the opinion of the city attor-,
ney that while Pither was not a de
jure he was a de facto officer. He said
he would be ready to submit an opinion
to the council at its next meeting.
Acting Mayor Harrington then called
upon the city clerk to read the recom-
mendations for the positions of day
clerk, night sergeant and patrolman.
For day clerk George Q. McCracken,
the present incumbent, was nominated,
John Pither for night sergeant and
Thomas P. Duffy for patrolman.
Aiderman Webber moved that the
recommendations be laid on the table.
The motion was declared out of order.
The vote on Mr. McCracken resulted:
Ayes 3, blank 5, nay 1. Mr. McCracken
was rejected.
For night sergeant John Pither re-
ceived 4 votes, 4 blanks and 1 nay. He
was not elected.
Thomas P. Duffy was nominated for
patrolman and elected by 7 votes and 2
blanks.
This concluded the recommendations
and Aiderman Skinner a^ked for a
vacation of 30 days, which was granted.
Acting Mayor Harrington in a neat
speech appointed Aiderman Webber a
member of the police and fire commis-
sion and the council then adjourned.
