Soon after Roger Bacon’s time Ms sug-
gestions were taken up and guns were
consstructed first by binding iron bars to-
gether with hoops to form a tube, then
by easting a tube out of brass, with one
end closed. Stones of suitable size were
selected as shot, and the powder had to be
carried around- in chests or barrels and
shoveled into the muzzles of the guns, the
stones being rolled in after it. In spite of
these drawbacks very large gu'ns were
built, for there was one used by Mahomet
II against the Greeks at the siege of Con-
stantinople in 1453, which threw -a stone
weighing 600 pounds a distance of one
mile.

A SEWERAGE SUGGESTION.
'To The Tribune.
The eft -d-isou's-sed sewer question is -of
no small interest to our city and citizens.
While I have only the interest of a citizen,
and no -pretensions to adjudicate the dif-
ferences between the city and the -sewer
company, I am prepared to say this: That,
as a matter of principle -the city itself
should own and control all sewers. The
-pity must by all means exercise sanitary
police supervision. On the -other hand,
citizens should never be compelled to pay
-toll to private corporations, when they
■are held .to pay municpal taxes for the
very purpose to the city. It-is the duty
of any municipality to keep the city in
first -class sanitary condition, and among
the most necessary precautions to be tak-
en by any board of health, is cleanliness
•and proper canalization by a system of
sewers.
The question -whether or not the city
can afford it cuts very little figure, be-
cause when a condition confronts us, the
city must afford it. In the humble judg-
ment of the writer any city -of the size
and importance of our fair city can afford
it, especially when it can turn its system
of sewerage into -a profitable enterprise.
The -elevation of Galveston is such that
the fall which -can be given to sewer
pipes is -insufficient to carry the night soil
-and street sweepings into the bay or gulf.
It will be necessary to flush the sewer
pipes or put a force pump behind them.
Now, -if the -latter is necessary, why not
take our sewers -out to -the so called
“island” and make proper use of the night
soil for fertilizing' purposes? I saw this
system -in use in the city of Berlin, Ger-
many, and was present when its inventor
demonstrated its practicability before a
■commission -appointed by the city council.
Force pumps took the night soil and street
sweepings out to the city farms, from
the discharge pipe same would flow into
a large reservoir; out of a barrel -of the
size of a common whisky -barrel certain
chemicals were permitted to slowly flow
Into this basin, which caused the solids -to
settle on the bottom -of this basin. There
were three or four of these basins ter-
raced, -one below the base of the upper
or proceeding one. In -the second and
third reservoirs -there was yet -a great
deal of sediment, into which chemicals
were permitted to flow, but in the lowest
basin the water, which had been used for
flushing the pipe, was as clear as crystal
and was used from there to irrigate the
large city farms, which was cut up into
small acre and half acre lots and rented
to gardeners, who there raised in profu-
sion all kinds of vegetables and green food
for domestic animals. The sediments or
solids were -at once pressed into bricks,
crushed and utilized as fertilizers.
The income from these irrigated farms
and the -sale of -the fertilizers to the city
of Berlin is immense, and does not only
afford a thorough -system of sewerage,
which gives that city today the name -of
-the cleanest city'in the world, but it leaves
a snug profit to the credit of the sanitary
fund of that city.
Why not establish such a system here?
In drout'hy seasons like we experience in
Texas so often, -irrigated gardens -on our
island could furnish early vegetables, not
only for home consumption, but for the
rest of the United States. R.

GUNPOWDER IN EARLY DAYS.
Possibly It Was Used in Warfare Before
the Beginning of History.
Dieu't. John M. Ellicott, in .St. Nicholas.
People outside of military life who have
no connection -with -the making of gun-
powder know it only as a coarse, black
powder like black sand, which Will flash
with a loud report if shut up in a case of
.any kind, and set on fire.
It i-s a very queer mixture, made up of
■three simple and well known substances,
no one of which will explode, although two
will burn. Nobody knows wrhen or how it
was discovered, for as far back into dark
■ages as records or tradition will carry us,
•we find that gunpowder, though not used
for guns, -was known. It was, no doubt,
looked upon with awe and fear by the an-
cients on account of -its flame, Its noise,
■and its rending force; but their limited
mechanical skill could suggest very little
use for -it. .
Possiblv it was used in warfare long -be-
fore the beginning of history; -but the first
man in historical times to form an idea of
■the terrible destruction which this awful,
bursting, fiery substance might produce
was an English monk named Roger
■Bacon. -Monks, in his day, were the chem-
ists, scholars and writers of the world;
and this Roger Bacon traveled -and stud-
ied much, and made continual experi-
ments in his laboratory to prove for him-
self and to develop w-hat. he -learned from
others. He probably saw gunpowder
among the Moors of Spain, and tried for
himself its explosive effect. Then he wrote
of its composition in the year 1267, and in
his writing suggested -that it could be used

A writer in the Manufacturers’ Rec-
ord says of boom town's:
“Such towns are not impossibilities- in
■the future, but in nearly every case
where one is successful it will not be the
offspring of visionary promoters—men
either with but. small capital or none at
all, who may secure by purchase or other-
wise large tracts of land, have it sur-
veyed and mapped -on paper, get up cuts
that -repi'esenit buildings not in existence
and never -to be, erect light plants, poles
and •wires -with flashing electric lights
scattered through bashes and underbrush
to frighten -the coons, or start a hotel
never to be compleitod or opened -for the
reception of guests—such monuments of
folly may be met with both north and
south—monuments to the memory of
speculative and adventurous spirits, a
class unfortunately too- common, in both
sections, and the wonder often is, when
viewing the wrecks of such speculative
attempts, where the “suckers” came- from
who advanced the funds to- begin -the at-
tempt of boosting such enterprises.
“And yet boom towns may and^will be
successful at many point's in the future
likely in the near future in the north,
but more likely at the south. To- suc-
ceed, the heads of such enterprises must
be men of large capital and of a superior
order of business capacity. Large and
long outlays imi'St be made from -which
no immediate pro-fits can reasonably be
asked how this may be acomplished
the reply is, let the would-be inves-
tors or men of business, not promoters or
scheming specailato-ra, put up the Capital
and pui’chase boiffies of real estate well
k'cated with a q-special view to- health,
good water facilities and .water power
and ample -and convenient lines of trans-
portation, and if possible more than one
nay of shipping irt and out both raw and
manufactured products. Let them pur-
chase such lands and locate -and, build
thereon manufacturing plants of any
kix.d IL..I promise a profitable
return on the capital invested -therein
and -assemble there an operative popula-
tion.”

ANOTHER KICKER.
To The Tribune.
Galveston, Tex., July 4.—In your issue
Of June 30 you- have -a kickers’s column. I
and every -one w’i-th whom I have t-alked
thinks -tba-t Kicker No. 3 Is just right.
Now the kickers h-ave started, -there is no
doubt that the kickers will -increase.
There are lots -of good kickers who are
a little backward in kicking. People in
Galveston are a good natured people
and d-o little kicking, for if there was
ever a place in which .people have a good
right to kick it -is in certain parts of Gal-
veston.
The k-icker -is right when he calls the
salt cedars shabby. They are not only
shabby; they -are a dangerous -obstruction
to -the -sidewalk and are such a mean
looking tree, all out of -shape, like a lot of
cripples standing -on the sidewalk. There
are many places in the city where the
trees hang so low over the sidewalks that
you have to stoop to- -get along. Many -an
umbrella -has been torn and one person
came near running a piece -of the tree in
his eye. He -said he notified -a policeman,
but nothing was done about 1-t. Every
one who has passed down -the street near-
ly -opposite the postoffice has kicked and
will kick until this 'obstruction of the side-
walk is removed.
ILook at the condition -of the city drains
and gutters. All -over the city and espe-
cially right in the heart of the city they
are full of -black poisonous water with a
Texas Coast News.
William Moore finished the piling on one
side of -the pier of the Inman, dock Sa'tur-
d Mr. Hall and family have, moved 'into
the Short building, on Third street and
First avenue north.
Mr. E. H. Mix arrived on Sunday and
w-ill spend a week with is family before
starting on a northern tfip, . .
Mr. J. H. Seiber has moved to Ms resi-
dence on First avenue north arid is ex-
pecting his family to arrive July 3.
We understand that the contract, has
been let for the erection of Mr. George J.
Brin-el’s residence on Firs-t avenue north.
Mr E. B. Fredericks arrived Sunday
from Grand Forks, N. D., and will re-
main here for the next three -weeks, at-
tending to his -business interests, in Texas
City.
The mammoth building of the. Texas
City flour mill and elevator company is
nearly finished. The machinery is being
■placed on the various floors and the con-
struction of the brick engine house, will be
commenced within -a few days.
The Coast News is. indebted 'to Mr.
Thomas -and Mr. Stewart of Lamarque for
some of the finest fruits of their farms
in the form of peaches, pears and grapes.
They -are, as always, the best, advertise-
ments for the productiveness of the coast
country under skillful and experienced
management.
terrible stench arising and it is strange
the people generally can stand it without
kicking—especially those who have these
bad gutters in front of their places.
Then look a-t the crop of weeds and grass
on the sidewalks, which don’t add to the
comfort or looks -of a commercial city of
50,000 people.
The kicker does not want the city to
expend one dollar, 'but all this could be
remed-ied with no cost to -the -city, if every
department would attend to -the matters.
Those in charge of the streets should see
that -the sidewalks are n-ot obstructed.
The health department could arrange
■with -the fire department to detail two men
from each company to flush and keep
flushed the city drains and gutiers -at
least twice a week during the hot sum-
mer, -as there -is now -an over supply of
■water. This kicker understands that so
much water is coming through the mains
that they have no storage room, for It. So
'it would be a benefit to use plenty of water
and keep drains and gutters well flushed.
The authorities should notify and compel
parties -who throw their trash -all over
the alleys -that -they must put trash in
barrels or boxes. Then -the alleys would
be free of trash and. it -would cost -the city
less money to hau'l it off.
The kicker claims all this could be done
with no cost to 'the c-i-ty, but a little more
work for those in charge, and every one
who is interested in the good morals,
sanitation -and welfare of the city should
kick. Who is next? Another Kicker.

The “Glorious Fourth,” with its at-

-small boy is happy while the old boy is
equally so.
The railr(.iadis have- done ntu-cli to-con-
tribute the isinew-s of war to ,'the -occa-
sion. Thousands have already come 'to
enjoy a day by the sea, the excursions
from the Houston, East arid 'West Texa-s
alone- bringing in nehrly 2500 people. The
Southern Pacific advises that they will
have between 1500 -and 2000 from points
along -their line, which will get in during
this afternoon and tonight. .Other lines
will swell the total, -and great crowds will
be here, both today and tomorrow.
The beach Is the favorite re-sort. As
soon ais the people are discharged from
the trains they make, a break’for the sea
shore, even before they locate- their lodg-
ings.
The -crowd's came hungry and' tired.
Many of them had I’idctpn from 12 to 14
hours in day coaches before reaching Gal-
veston. But while they were- tired they
'were good natured. They came to see
■the sights, -and to- enjoy them, and they
■are doing both .to their hearts’ content.
Men and women, with lunch baskets
and -grips are paradiMg the business
streets and gazing at 'thgctlisplay'S in the
show windows. They soom to- care noth-
ing -for 'toilets. Ease «nd com-fort are
evidently the -wat ’hwords of the visitors.
The men compl'acentlyl'Stuff their collars
-in their pockets, and hang their coats over
their arms in their effqiit-'s to keep cool.
Then they tramp and tramp and look and
look at the-sights of -the'city. When they
grow tired they sit down 'wherever that

■to rest. Then they are up and going
again. ■ '
The women pay moib afterlflon to ap-

out in their finest finery;, mrieh of which
shows signs of having-been badly be-

latto girl, who -called the.bootblack -off and
made a request of him, which request was
evidently refused. “You see that woman?”
An -affirmative -answer being given the
expounder of the peculiarities of women,
that -individual continued: “She wanted
me to go to Car’l'ton w'id her. I wanted
to -go, but I wouldn’t. Two weeks ago dat
woman wouldn’t speak to me -hardly.
No'w she’s runnin’ after me. You know
the reason? No? She 'f-oun’ out she
couldn’t bluff me. All -de res’ er de
men w-h-at went to see her made a big to
do erbout 'her, an’ tole her -how much dey
thought of her, an’ when she frown dey
all trimble. H-ow -did I do? I -went -out to
see her, an’ I -treated her nice, but I never
let her get me bluffed. I never fooled
way my time -tellin’ her how much I loved
■her, kaze I knew if I did she’d have me
jes’ where she wanted, me. I jes’ talked
■to her like -she was pretty nice, but I
wa-sn’t -struck on her to speak of, and den
she lowed she’d make me get stuck on her.
Stid er me runnin’ -atter her she com-
menced to run -alter me. Now, I’m lovin’
her harder’n a mule can kick, but I ain’t
m-ak-in’ de worl’ my confidence. I -ain’t
never tole her -anything ’bout lovin’ her,
•and I ain’t going to tell her, ’-th-out I
talks in my sleep. I’m tellin’ you de
truth, -boss. Don’t never let er woman
git yer bluffed. If you do its ‘Katie, bar
de ‘do,’ shuah.’ ” And the customer
thought about a certain fair one -who -had
him “bluffed,” and didn’t know but what
the sable- hued philosopher was right.
At about 8 o’clock this morning a tele-
phone message requested Harry Simon,
the proprietor of the Olympi-a, to come
immediately to hi-s place. He complied
with the message, and in entering the
Olympia he was heartily welcomed by
about 2-0 of his intimate friends, who
had assembled to tender to him their con-
gratulations in honor of the anniversary
of his 36th birthday.
An elegant breakfast w-as prepared by
his friends, and the tables were tasteful-
ly decorated with flowers, plants and
shining -silver ware.
After the repast Mr. (Simon was pre-
sented with a beautiful bicycle by his
friends.
There are thousands here today and thou-
sands more will come tomorrow. In the
meantime Galveston is doing her best to
entertain all who come in such a way
that they will gladly come again and
speak a good -word for the town when
they return to their homes.
THE'EMMfcT-S. -
This is the day the'Emmets celebrate.
Galveston Emmets are nothing if not
good Irishmen and nothing if not pa-
triotic. So they honor .old Ireland and
the new nation’s birthday at the same
time.
The local order of Emmets invited
their Ho-us-to-u brethren t-u co-m-e and
make merry with the n, and -the Hous-
tonians came several hundred -strong.
•With them were the Emmet-rifl-e-s, under
command, -of C-anit.. James - Lawlor, with
nearly 50 men, rank and file; They par-
ticipated in the parade this af-te-rnoon,
and wi-ll join in the picnic at W’o-oUam’s
Hake tonight. „ , m
The Emmet parade formed on Tremont
between Strand and Mechanic and the
line of march was as ifoLows: West on
Mechanic to 2-5th: south to Market; east
to Tremont; south to H; counter inarch
to Market; east to 2-lst, where the pa-
rade disbands and takes the cars for
Woollam’s lake.
N'OiTEIS OF~TITE DAY.
All of the banks and public buildings
were closed this morning and remained
closed during the day.
Market street had a decided tennday
appearance. Many of the leading busi-
ness houses remained closed all day,
while others shut their doors at noon for
the remainder of the da^.
AIRINESS AT A PREMIUM.
For The Tribune-
New parasols of flowered 'taffeta silk
are just -a:s stunning a-s they can be, and
-with one of these and a dainty summer
dress as tha t shown here, a woman would
'almost risk a -snow -storm for the sake of
getting out on parade. Some- of -the first
indorsers o-f the flowered paras-ols did
force, the season in ther eagerness- -to- set
the p^ee with those showy acicess-ories-,
but now they are timely enough. This
dress is of striped organdie, very freely
'trimmed with embroid'ered batis-te. The
latter appears in panels on the skirt, and
-on'tliie- bodice in epa-uletites, jaicket effect,
tsleeve puffs’, ripple basque and center
band. Organdie gives the sleeve cuffs
-and the- sfandin-g -collar, the latter being
finished -with embroidered points. Bo-w-s

Gladness Comes
\^/ith a better understanding’ of the
VV transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative5 Syrup of Figs, prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating thq
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep-
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Used and gives most general satisfaction.

YOU.
Sweetheart, the eyes whose lightest glance
Has power to thrill me through and through
With life and love and laughter dance,
They are not black nor gray nor blue;
For fear you may not understand
Explicitly I’ll state their hue—
Of all brown eyes they’re brownest, and,
Sweetheart, those eyes belong to—you!
Sweetheart, the lips I long to kiss
Are sweet and fresh as summer dew,
Unsullied as the blossom is,
Whose honey no bee ever knew.
(Would their fair mistress reprimand
Me if I stole a kiss—or two?)
Of all red lips they’re reddest, and,
Sweetheart, those lips belong to—you!
Sweetheart, the girl that I would wed
Is so sweet natured, pure and true,
So wise, so winning, so well bred,
From modish hat to dainty shoe
I love her well, nnfi for her hand
In all sincerity I'.sub.
Of all fair maids She’-s fairest, and,
Sweetheart, this-vision rare is—you!

Hotel Grand’s restaurant patronage is
daily increasing, due to the excellence of
the menu, neatness and service which is
the finest to be found in any restaurant
in the south. A new and special feature
is dinner and luncheon panties, 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
very moderate for the excellence of the
menu and service. -Since the new decora-
tions have been completed it 'has been
pronounced the finest house in the coun-
try. If you have not already tried this
popular restaurant be -sure you do. In-
vite your friends and satisfy yourself.

GOLDBECK RECITAL.
A select and.appreciative andience greet-
ed Dr. Robert Gold-beck last nigh-t at
Cathedral hall, -the occasion being a re-
cital given jby -the distinguished -pi-anist
-and composer, -assisted by Mrs. Charles
Fowler.
The -program was varied -and showed to
splendid ’ advantage the versatility of tha
performer, C-h-opiin -and Bach being equally
well interpreted.
■There -are- a number -of points- in Dr.
Gol-dbeck’s playing -which impresses the
hearer -at once. His interpretations are
intelligent and intellectual, -and -one feels
'that the composer’s ideas -are -accurately
and sympathetic-ally portrayed. His
phrasing is' beautifully artistic -and lhe
does not sacrifice the -soul and spirit of a
composition t-0 execution and velocity.
His conception of the Chopin numbers was
•exquisite, while Beethoven, Bach, Brahms,
Mendelssohn -arid Liszt were handled in -a
im-anner that -evinced.the master. Dr. Gold-
beck playe-d two of his -own compositions,
“Weeping Rock” and “Mexican Dances.”
The first was a delightful number and the
“Dances” showed -a -thorough knowledge
of arid sympathy with the characteristic
music of our southern neighbors. These
dances were composed -originally for or-
chestra, and have been played by Theo-
dore Thomas’ orchestra, directed by Dr.
Goldbeck and by Sousa’s, Gilmore’s and
other leading bands and -orchestras of this
country -and Europe.
Mrs. Fowler sang particularly well last
nigh-t -and delighted the audience with -her
two numbbr-s, -which were very -happy se-
lections. In her second number she was
assisted by 'Mr. Lindenberg with violin
obl'iga-tos, which as usual were -beautifully
played. Following is the program:
1. “Moonlight Sonata” (Beethoven.
2. (-a) Berceuse; - (b) Etude in C minor
(Chopin),
3. Romance “Aida” (Verdi)—Mrs. Charles
Fowler.
4. Prelude and Fugue in D minor (Bach).
5. Balad-e No. l (Brahms).
'6. (a) “Slumber Song” (Bereny); (b) One
Spring Morning” (Nevin)—Mrs. Charles
Fowler. .
7. (a) “Weeping Rock” (b) “Mexican
Dances” (Robert Goldbeck).
8. (a) “On Wings.of Song (Mendelssohn);
(b) “Eighth Rhapsody” (Liszt).

THE TRIBUNIE’IS iSUiGG-EiSTII'ON.
Texas Coast News.
The Tribune suggests a 'method for ad-
vancing the good roads movement
throughout the state which sh-ouid be
highly satisfactory in its results. In
view of the necessity of bringing sufficient
pressure to bear upon the legislature to
induce definite -and material action from
that (body, the Tribune urges that ar-
ticles' be -written -by men who have given
study to the question and that these ar-
ticles -be published in the various papers
simultaneously. There is no -doubt what-
ever that nine men out of every ten in the
state who own a -printing plant, a paste
pot and a pair of scissors would gladly
aid the cause by publishing such articles.
If the gentlemen of the Good roads league
will provide the literature we will do the
rest.
