American Singers to Go to Germany to
to Give Concerts.
Southern Afternoon Press,
New York, June 25.—This morning
sixty-five singers of the Arion society of
this city, together with one hundred and
fifty passive members of the organiza-
tion, left for Europe on the especially
chartered steamer Wieland of the Ham-
burg-American. line, under direction of
their leader, Frank Vanderstuckf.
They will give concerts at Hamburg,
Berlin, Leipsic, Dresden, Vienna, Mu-
nich, Stuttgart, Frankfort, Mayence and
Cologne, besides arranging a great sum-
mer night’s festival at Bingen-on-the-
Rhine. All proceeds of the concerts
will be devoted to charitable purposes.
As this is the very first time a singing
society crosses the ocean to visit the old
fatherland great enthusiasm prevails in
ail the cities to be visited, and a rousing
reception will be given to the Arions by
prominent societies of Germany, among
others the celebrated Wiener Maenner-
gesangverein, Stuttgarter Liederkranz,
Koelner Maennergesangverein and the
Berlin Leidertefal.

I find the Royal Baking Powder far superior to
the others. It is pure, contains none but whole-
some ingredients, is of 23 per cent, greater
strength. F. X. Valade, M. D.
Public Analyst, Dominion of Canada.
The Royal Baking Powder is perfectly healthful,
and free from every deleterious substance; purest
in quality and highest in strength of any baking
powder of which I have knowledge.
Wm. McMurtrie, E. M., Ph. D.
Late Chief Chemist, Agricultural Department.
The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.
It is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable
baking powder offered to the public.
Henry A. Mott, Ph. D.
Late Chemist for U. S. Government,
Biography of the Candidate for Vice-
President Briefly Sketched.
“Who is Stevenson?” is a question
that has been asked a million times or
more since last Thursday. Hence a
brief sketch of his life may not be out of
place.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson was born in
Christian county, Ky.. October 23,1835.
He was educated in Kentucky, and in
1852 he removed with his parents to
Bloomington, Ill. He there read law
and was admitted to the bar in 1858.
Since then he has held the following po-
sitions. in public life: Master in chan-
cery, district attorney, and defeated Mc-
Nultair for congress with 3000 Republi-
can majority against him. He served
in congress during the Hayes and Tilden
contest. He was defeated for congress
in 1376, but again elected in 1878. ’Was a
delegate, to the Democratic national con-
vention in 1884,which nominated Grover
Cleveland for president. Was appointed
first assistant postmaster-general under
Cleveland’s administration. He made
himself very popular in the south by
removing Republican postmasters, and
he will make himself much more so by
removing Vice-President Morton from
the position he now holds.
Everytliinjj in Readiness for Launching
the Big Ship Monday.
The big ship Pinafore at Woollam’s
lake is being rigged today and a force of
linemen were at work during the fore-
noon, under the direction of Superin-
tendent Braun of the Brush Electric
company, stringing the wires upon
which will hang 125 incandescent lights
that will be used in the rigging, diffus-
ing their brilliant rays through the vari-
colored Chinese lanterns.
The three casts of Galveston and the
Houston cast of those who take the lead-
ing roles in the opera have their work
well in hand, w’bile the large chorus is
splendid training. In short, the artistic
success of the performances is well as-
sured.
Committees from Camp Magruder
were out yesterday and again this morn-
ing disposing of tickets through the
business portion of the city, and from
the success with which they are meet-
ing the financial feature of the enter-
prise is being properly cared for.
The box office at the Tremont opera
house is now open for the sale of tickets,
the idea being to afford the public every
facility possible for securing tickets in
advance in order to avoid the rush of
the opening night at the ticket office on
the grounds. About 300 seats construct-
ed over the lake will be reserved, and
owing to the increased comfort and con-
venience that these seats afford an extra
charge of 25 cents will be made for their
occupancy. The other seats are free.
CUTTING AND STABBING-
Two negroes named respectively
Richard Watkins and Willie King got
into an altercation about a woman in the
alley between Twenty-first and Twenty-
second Church and Winnie street about
10 o’clock last evening during which
King cut and stabbed Watkins with a
penknife, several ugly wounds from
which the latter bled profusely. The
patrol wagon was called to the corner of
Eighteenth and Church where the
wounded man had followed his antago-
nise, but being engaged in another
quarter of the town it was slow in put-
ting in its appearance. When it did so
Watkins was taken to the Sealy hospital
where he is resting easily today. King
was arrested by assistant chief Mealy
and night clerk Gallagher about an hour
later as he was preparing to leave the
city.
I find the Royal Baking Powder superior to all
the others in every respect. It is purest and
strongest. Walter S. Haines, M. D.
Prof. Chemistry, Rush Medical College,
Consulting Chemist, Chicago Board of Health, etc.
I have found the constituents of Royal Baking
Powder to be of a high degree of purity, free
from adulteration or admixture of deleterious sub-
stances. v J. w. Mallet, Ph. D., F. R. S.
Prof, of Chemistry, University of Virginia.
A CARD.
Galveston, Tex., June 25.—To Even-
ing Tribune : In your paper of June 18,
1892, Major C. J. Allen says the present
jetty contractors “had done fully as
much in ten and one-half months as
their predecessors had in twenty-two
and one-half.” This statement is in-
tended to do me further injustice.
Major Allen, with the usual disregard
of the facts and fatuousness, which have
gotten to be principal features of this
work, has omitted to say why the former
contractors did not work faster. In
truth, they were prevented by the action
of his predecessor in refusing to take the
rock he had contracted to receive, and
by misrepresenting, and by disregard of
the truth and of right, hampering us and
causing us heavy losses. These two
officers, Ernst and Allen, knowing the
great difificulty of our obtaining justice
through the courts in a lifetime, have
taken advantage of their official posi-
tions to do me a great wrong. I could
not prevent this. But I will not permit
any further misrepresentations.
W. W. Burke.
U. S. ENGINEER’S REPORT.

Topeka, Kas., June 25.—The nomina-
tion of Governor Lyman M. Humphrey
by the Republicans and of J. Hudson
by the People’s party as candidates for
congress of the Third district inaugu-
rates one of the most interesting con-
tests this state has known. This is Sena-
tor Perkins’ old district. Hudson will

test. A hot fight is expected.

MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL.
Some 200 Scandinavians and Finns
assembled at Woollam’s lake last even-
ing to celebrate Midsummer day in ac-
cordance with usages and customs in
vogue in the regions of the midnight
sun. The time was pleasantly spent in
dancing and singing national airs in the
Scandinavian tongue, and Mr. Victor
Anderson delivered a ringing address in
Swedish, which was well received and
heartily applauded.
A BLIND AND MUTE CONCERT. .
On Monday and Tuesday evenings
next at 8 o’clock, at the Broadway A.
M. E. church, there will be an interest-
ing'program carried out by a number of
pupils from the state institute for deaf,
dumb and blind colored children. The
children are raising money to help com-
plete their education and ask the public
to come and enjoy the services.
THE ROOKERIES MUST GO.
The move instituted by the chamber
of commerce some time ago to petition
the city council to enforce the ordinance
in relation to unsafe buildings and rattle-
traps is now chrystalizing and the com-
mittee at work on this subject have
already today secured some 200 signa-
tures from all classes of citizens, includ-
ing some of the owners of these rook-
eries asking that they be condemned
and pulled down to make room for more
suitable structures. This is an im-
portant move in which every patriotic
Galvestonian will heartily coincide.

Southern Afternoon Press.
New' York, June 25.— Ex-senator
Ingalls arrived yesterday at the Astor
House. This morning he sails on the
Ems and remains abroad during the
summer, and returning in September to
taxe tne stump in behalf of Harrison and
Reid. He spoke of the political situa-
tion in general and of Kansas in particu-
lar being somewhat “cloudy.”
Y.“In Kansas the political horizon is by
no means free from clouds. There is the
People’s party, or Farmers’ alliance as
it was called when I went into the air a
year ago higher than anything since the
day the cow jumped over the moon.
They^are in the_ fight. _ It was thought
they had begun to disintegrate, but they
don’t seem to show it. They have held
state and congressional conventions, are
well organized, have plenty of funds
and are confident. They will contest
the entire field and expect to carry the
legislature and so give Peiffer’s colleague
some political faith himself.
“The Farmers’alliance want to beat
the Republican party, but I don’t believe
they are as strong as they were in the
campaigns of 1890 and 1891. 1 hey won
their first victory in Kansas, and that
was a great incentive for them to con-
tinue their work.
“But I don’t think they will succeed,
and when I say that I mean it. Still,
the Republicans must walk very circum-
spectly to make their calling and elec-
tion sure. This is a very important
year in Kansas.”

SPECTACULAR PINAFORE.
The New Mammoth Elevator ’
This Forenoon.
The trial of the machinery thia morn-
ing at the new elevator proved that the
immense concern is ready to go to work
and handle enough grain to make com-
merce here interesting.
A number of business men and repre-
sentative citizens were witnesses at the
ceremonies, between the hour of 11 and
12, Mr. J. C. Stewart officiating and the
' center of an admiring and interested
throng and clouds of grain dust.
Mr. J. M. Brown, the capable presi-
dent of the Wharf company, was on
hand with a broad smile that betokened
his satisfaction, and he is already laying
plans in his mind for another mammoth
elevator.
The car containing the wheat upon
which the machinery operated was
placed near the south opening. It was
full of grain, but in a very short time
was as empty as the whistling wind.
Mr. Stewart stood in front of the car
and at the proper moment sent in a
couple of men with steam shovels, which
sent the wheat out a-rushing. It fell be-
tween a grating under the car and came
m contact with the elevator belts, or legs
which carried the grain rapidly up to
the top of the building. The successive
operations . to which the wheat is after-
wards subjected have already been fully
described in the columns of Evening
Tribune.
THEY SAY
That a little iodoform would not hurt
the back alleys at this season of the
year;
That the last two seats facing the mo-
torman in open street cars are reserved
in all cities other than Galveston for
smokers;
That attention was called to this fact
last evening when a party was smoking
a very poor “segar” right in front of a-
lady who seemed to be annoyed and
made sick by the cabbage leaf;
. A carriage contract is being
talked of between Yankee Bob and He-
brew Mary;
That “Dud” Bryan is one of the most
eloquent speakers in Galveston and
would make his mark as a lawyer as
well as a journalist and actor;
i ,T^at half‘grown ragamuffins,
black and white, who are suffered to
Hccnmulate in the main doorway
of one of our leading hotels are the
greatest obstructionists” in the city.
That pedestrians should not be per-
mitted to stumble over and bang and
bruise the old boxes, barrels, crates and
other trash piled upon the sidewalks,
but, rather, be compelled to avoid them
by doing their walking on the streets
proper;
That “They Say” has lately had his
eyes and ears operated on and that now
they are both in good working order. So
ft you please, watch out for the fellow’
