drug rig. Its jacket opened over a vest of
white embroidered 'batiste, and each
front wa« cut in two revors, each orna-
mented by a large chiseled button. Simi-
lar 'buttons came on the turned back
batiste cuffs, which were also garnished
iwith embroidered batiste ruffles, a nar-
rower one trimming the collar.
Now that the hot weather has come,
the women who “took to painting” last
winter don’t know what to do. A coat
of tan seems the only thing likely to cover
up the harm the ‘‘little touch of rouge”
did. A trick of the summer girl that
shows itself is in carrying a bunch of
flowers. It gives a sort of come-into-the-
gardein-Maude effect that brightens the
path or the street they follow, and makes
them seem to have jusr-come from the
sweet, cool fields .instead of from the flor-
ist's. ’ By the time these*same girls get
into the fields, where flowers are plenti-
ful, theyill drop this trick for the- first
newer one that seems effective.

SENSIBLE SUMMER STAY'S.
For The Tribune.
Dealers in corsets are to much pains to
plan 'Summer stays, and every good make
gets, out what may be called a summer
edition, so the time has passed when it
was impossible to get any but a cheap
and bady shaped corset of the summer
pattern. They are now made with a
great many bones, which are connected
by a flexible fibre that is as cool as net
and yet as .serviceable as the heavy twill
of the winter corset. Many 'women wear
the summer corset all the time. It is- cer-
tain that the figure seems more flexible
in them than in the usual corset, and it is
plain that they are more comfortable.
Besides, tile fibre does not take soil as
does cotton. Though summer corsets
come now in black, they seem daintier in
white.
Grenadines are in revival and the rage
that was exhibited for them several-years
ago seems likely to 'be repeated.. For-
merly they were mostly striped, but this
year’s sorts are plain. The dress shown
today was sketched in grenadine of a
pinkish violet hue, and made a very
pretty costume that might pass either as
a jaunty street dross or as a dressy out-

Sometimes quality is sacrificed in the
, effort to give big quantity for little money.
No doubt about that.
But once in a while it isn’t.
For instance, there’s *4 BATTLE AX;
The piece is bigger than you ever saw
* before for 5 cents. And the quality is, as
many a man has said,44 mighty good.”
There’s no guess work in this statement.
It is just a plain fact.
’ You can prove it by investing 5 cents
in “BATTLE AX.”

The Remarkable Missionary Work of
Bis’hop Joyce.
Vancouver, B. C., June 19.—Methodists
tihroug!hoiut America will follow with con-
siderable iinterest the inoveimeutS' of Bish-
op Joyce, who 'will sail on the Empress
of Japan 'tomorrow for a tour of Asia in
the ilnterests of Methodist missionary
work. The trip is 'undertaken in com-
pliance .with tllie assignment of the recent
quadrieninial conference at Cleveland, and
is fully expected to mark an epoch in the
Ihis'tory of Methodist missionary work in
the Asiatic field.
The bishop expects to 'arrive -in Japan
the middle of next month, and after a
■short stay there iwill leave for Corea.
After holding the Methodist conference
there 'he will .proceed to .north China and
preside over the conference of north
Chin'a missionaries. In the fall he will
start on a house .boat journey of 1000
miles -up the Yang Tse river. The 'boat
will be hauled by natives on the tow-
path. Above the falls he 'will be carried
ou the backs of the natives.
In the spring of 1897 he expects to re-
turn to Japan. In November. 1897, he will
proceed from Singapore to^ India, Egypt,
Palestine, Alexandria, Naples', Rome,
Paris, London, Liverpool and by steamer
to New York, thereby completing the cir-
cuit of the globe and one of the most mem-
orable .missionary1 tours ever .accom-
plished under Methodist auspices.
SENSIBLE PIANO BUYERS
Are those who buy from the most respon-
sible houses; besides saving money they
receive guarantees which secure absolute
safety and protection. Manufacturer's of
the bos’- and most reliable instruments in-
variably want the largest houses to sell
their product and to secure them they sell
at small n argins of profit, consequently-
those dealers can afford to give better
value for less money than others.
Responsible dealers who buy for cash
are not compelled to demand notes when
selling pianos on installments; they have
no use for them, a simple lien is sufficient
security.
We do a larger business than all deal-
ers in Texas combined, low prides, good
irjstTu.ments, fair dealing and easy pay-
ment's without demanding notes or inter-
est is the secret of our success.

FILLING CISTERNS.
A New Source of Revenue for the Ciiy
Water Works.
“Were you aware of the fact that the
fire -department is filling 25 or 30 ■cister.iis a
day -with city water,” sai'd Chief Wegner
to a Tribune man this morning. “Well,
such is. the fa.ct, and I guess people will
begin to see where the . tax payers are get-
ting benefits from the .investment. Lots
of .people are not able to make connec-
. tiftn wit'll the mains, and now that their
J-istcrns have .run dry they are dependent
t upon t'he purchase of water. They are
; buying it from the city at regular rates,
viz: 50 cents a tjinusand gallons, and the
fire department is, with the consent of
' the mayor, delivering it in the cisterns
wirhout extra cost.”
The chief took the reporter to’a map of
the city and .showed him two large dis-
tricts in the west end of the city which
have in the last two or three years set-
tled up very rapi'dily which have no mains,
and where the fire hydrants are so far
apart that in the event of conflagrations
the use of several -sections of hose would
be necesisary. It takes time to put this
hose out, and' when a fire is on time is
about the most valuable thing that can be
thought of. The Chief is of the opinion
that it is only a question of a short time
when the mains must b.e extended in
those districts in order to give the resi-
dents a water supply, and also in order to
afford better protection from fire.

Crown and Bridge Work a Specialty.
The poll books were opened up in most
■of the awards of the city last night, but
the clerks in -charge were not worked
hard in handing out the pen to those de-
.siring to enroll their names. In fact,
the registration was- vbry light. The
fourth 'ward book is available at any
hour during the day and evening, yet no
one had registered, there until 1.1 .o’clock
■this morning. A Tribune reporter, re-
luctant to see the thing go 'by default,
opened the ball by spreading Ibis name
upon the register; then another voter
followed suit.
Hit seems that it is not necessary for any
to register save those 'who have acquired
residence in .the ward during the past
■two years; that is, previous registration
holds good. There seems to be no pro-
vision for a comparison of the books be-
fore the primaries and' the elimination of
obsolete registrations. The Tribune man
was just thinking that this omission fur-
nished a glorious opportunity for repeat-
ing, when a gentleman said:
“I think 'this system of registering is a
bad one. I understand that the old regis-
tration' stands, and that ail that is re-
quired is that a voter who has changed
Tesidence must register hi-s new ward.
But his name will still remain upon the
book of the ward where he formerly re-
sided. These books have been in use for
15 years, and I venture to say there are
several hundred names upon them in ex-
cess of the Democratic vote of the city.
I have lived and registered in six ‘wards,
and my name, I suppose, stands good
upon all the books. Now, if I wasn’t sb
well known, what 'would there be to pre-
vent me from .voting in. each of the
wards? Nothing. I think the registra-
tion should be revised and brought down
to date.”

DESERTING CROWLEY.
The Tribune man has mingled pretty
freely with the former friends of 'Mr.
Crowley during the past few days and
has sounded their opinions as to the com
gresisionail race. That many of these
friends have deserted him i'n a political
way is ‘corta'in. Why they have done so
admits of several answers. Some of
'them have personal reasons; they have
grievances against Mr. Crowley. Others
■have been disappointed in him; they do
not think that has light has shone in the
congressional halls 'with the bright ef-
fulgence that they expected; they do not
think that .he has made the 'best of his op-
portunities ahd has justified their course
in supporting him in the face of a violent
oposifion. There are others who' take a
political view of the situation. They are.
looking out for what is most expedient.
They may have no particular aversion for
Mr. Crowley, but they have given him
the icy shoulder because they don’t think
he is in it. They are convinced that lie
could in no event secure the support of the
interior; they believe that there are a half
dozen men in Galveston county who
would be accepted in preference to him.
They want Galveston county to secure
the nomination, and they believe their
support of Crowley would be futile. Upon
the other hand, they regard Gresham’s
chances of nomination as good if he can
secure the instructions of his home
county. Therefore, they are for Gresham
because he is the most available man. If
the convention should lock beyond hones ■
of a break they might propose some other
Galveston man, but they will never men-
tion Mr. Crowley.
Then there is the class who voted for
Mr. Crowley because he 'was the Demo-
cratic nominee. They 'did not vote their
choice; they obeyed the behests of the
brass collar element of the party. Many
of them were original Gresham men;
they swallowed the nominee because they
regarded it as a sacred- duty. Their con-
sciences' do not exhort them to support
him for. the nomination this year; conse-
quently, they will support their original
choice, his Opponent, 'who apparently has
the best chance for success.
Neither Mr. Crowley nor his friends
who are staying 'With him expect to se-
cure the instructions of Galveston coun-
ty. If they do they have not evidenced it
in the slightest degree. It is not prob-
able that they will shetw their hand either
in the primaries or the county convention.
They will not, if the signs do not prevari-
cate, oppose instructions for Gresham.
But they will try to take a band in nam-
ing the delegates to the congressional
convention. Then if the Hallettsville
conditions again arise, the same pro-
gram will be attempted.
This conclusion is forced by the too ar-
dent expressions of love for Gresham by
men who have heretofore, in season and
out of season, expressed their antipathy
for Gresham, and 'who have stood by
Crowley regardless of everything. Noth-
ing has transpired in the career of Mr.
Crowley to furnish them a sufficient ex-
cuse for dumping him. The conviction
follows that -they are throwing the game
■and would go to Lagrange for the purpose
of re-enacting the scenes- of Hallettsville.
Whether they will be accepted by the
Gresham men as having experienced a
change of heart, or whether they will be
taken in upon probation to substantially
evidence their contrition remains to be
■seen.
If the signs are right the fight will not
be upon instructions, but upon the selec-
tion of delegates. *
THE CROWLEY TEST.
The report that there was a purpose to
apply a Crowley test in Monday’s pri-
maries, appears to have not been without
foui. da t, ion.
In the Eighth ward yesterday evening
two well known Demoetats went to the
place designated in the Tribune to reg-
ister. The books were not there. They
subsequently found Mr. A. J. Webber, in
■whose charge the books were supposed to
be. standing on the' sidewalk. But the
books were at his residence.
Mr. Webber sent for the books and al-
lowed the two^gentlemen 'to- register, but
not wirhout asking whether they voted
for Crowley. They declined to answer,
but, stated they voted for Cleveland and
Culberson, whereupon Mr. Webber said it
was all right, but if he.had his way only
those ‘who voted for Crowley would be
permitted to participate. One of the gen-
tleman had voted for Crowley, but as a
matter of principle he declined to sub-
mit to such a test.
In one or two other wards yesterday
evening there was a half heait.od effort to
apply 'the Crowley test, but upon resist-
ance by Democrats the point was waived.

' Hotel Grand restaurant’s patronage is
daily increasing, due to the excellence of
the menu, neatness and service which is
the finest to be found in any restaurant

is dinner and luncheon parties, which af-
fords Galvestonians an excellent oppor-
tunity to entertain their friends during
the summer season, when the trouble
and annoyance of the necessary prepara-
tions are given over to caterers who are
competent and serve meals in highest
style of the culinary art. The prices are

THE CHURCH STREET SEANCE.
To The Tribune.
Galveston, Tex., June 18.—Will you
kindly' allow me, through the medium of
your paper, -to correct -a false impression
now going the rounds, in regard to a
seance, or so called “ghost show,” held
on Church street, on lasit Thursday; night.
I, with several others, was invited to at-
tend. Mrs. Russell, the medium, a per-
fect stranger to us, requested rhat she be
thoroughly examined in order that no
one.might say paraphernalia was carried
into the cabinet by her, with which to
manufacture a “ghost.” I being Ith'e on.lv
liudy present besides herself, complied
with her wishes. One of the genttlein'en
raised the cabinet curtains and expressed
himself satisfied there was no parapher-
nalia. concealed therein.
The table wais pushed back entirely
away from the curtains, and forming a
■circle around the cabinet—not tables—the
light, was turned low and we joined
hands and isang a song. Therp were no
Tappings, no table lifttiig. rTlie conirol-
hng spirit addres'Sed a few wordssto us.
Then a form appeared that was not the
medium, and I recognized it. The second
form appeared, which was also'recognized
by a gentleman present. Then came the
figure of another lady, who was not well
■enough informed of this phase of ma-
terializaition to make herself known. She
stood outside, the curtains and -slowly
faded from view. The conifcroHinig spirit:,
“Little Nina,” then said the force wias
well nigh exhausted. The light was then
■turned out, as is cuistomory in ail ma-
terializing seances, when, lo! and behohl!
a voice yelled: ‘’Light a match; there- is
something wrong.” A match was .struck.
We all arose and looked around. Nothing
was found, nor was anything to- be seen
but a scrap of black calico, left over from
putting up the cabinet curtains. The inan
creating the disturbance, picked up the
scrap, and he, with severtil others, walked
out, remarking, “the weather is&o warm
Ito sit.”
If the gentleman really caught and
played “ghost” with the .supposed “bun-
dle,” whyr did he not keep it and follow
the supposed “ghost” into the cabinet, ac-
cuse the medium, and expose her at
once? The strength of two men is surely
enough to hold a “bundle” against that
of a lady. If she had been a fraud she
would not have tried to bring the “bun-
dle” to a “confederate” among so many
stra.ii'gtTS, as. it would have been much
easier for her So called “confedei'alte” to
have gone to her after it, if, indeed, there
was a “bundle.”
We who went there as honest investi-
gators of spiritualism know we were not
deceived. We did not nave a “ghost
show,” birt.considering the hot weather
and the n#wous condition of some of the
isititers, we had a remarkably good mani-
festation from the spirit world. I think
if the person who gave the information
to your reporter will tell the truth, he will
slay he wa.s only scared, and had the
“creeps,” and consequently frightened
his friend's who were with him.
This, of course, is only my opinion, and
being “only a 'woman” may not count for
much. As I feel and know that this
medium has been misrepresented, I have
tried to give to the public the “other side”
of the affair. We believers in this philois-
ophy know that “as water seeks its own
level,” so do we as individuals, draw to
us either false or true, good or bad influ-
ences, according to our own natures. If
we1 seek fraud we find it. If we seek
truth wie find it.
Let mo .say in closing that the medium
lias not packed her trunk to seek new
fields,: but is only resting from her busi-
ness to recover from the effects of the ex-
. citeinent occa'sioned by that “ghost
show.” She will no- doubt appear before
the public in >a. more favorable light if
■ she decides to. make Galveston Iter field
of labor, which her friends sincerely trust
she may do. Mrs. A. E. Smith.
