MONDAY JULY 22 1895
Stambuloffwlll be more mourned
dead than he was loved living.
Thia was the fly In’the pot of hia
political ointment. He waa able
patriotic vigorous always jealous
and zealous for hia country but he
was arbitrary and did not trust
Prince Ferdinand whom he re-
garded as too much under the in-
fluence of Russia the one thing
that Stambuloff regarded aa fatal
to Bulgaria. Hia oppostion to the
ruler of the country and his usur-
pation of powers that were not
within his province as premier led
to his removal from the chief place
in the government. The Russian
influence had always antagonized
StambulofT and this grew more
active as the premier fell under
the displeasure of the Prince. At
the last his life was so openly
threatened that he would have
left his native country but the per-
mission to do so was withheld and
his murder was the outcome. No
doubt that great lamentation will
be made over him but that win
not absolve Ferdinand of his re-
sponsibility for the death of one
of the most incorruptible and
vigilant ministers that Bulgaria
ever had.
The evidence that will Anally
stretch the neck of Holmes the in-
surance murderer is fast accumu-
lating. So far as at present ascer-
tained not less than six victims
have fallen under his hand. Mr.
Pitzell and his three children and
the two Williams girls. How
many more will be Anally added to
this list no one will undertake to
say. It reveals a horrible condi-
tion of affairs when a man moving
in as good circles of society as
Holmes will deliberately kill six
human beings four of them young
girls or children for the sole pur-
pose of securing insurance on their
lives. What is wanted is a preach-
ing of some sensible gospel of re-
tribution for such monsters. It is
dangerous to tell such men that
they can run up a bill with the
devil all their lives and cheat him
out of it when it comes paying
time. These fellows want a hell
and they want it hot and no atone-
ment.
That Corbett-Fitzsimmons mill
is causing more attention in Texas
than the building of half a dozen
cotton mills would. Such mills as
these are not returning much grist
to the state.
Judge Reagan again arises to
deny the report that he has resign-
ed from the railway commission
or that he has any intention of so
doing. The Judge ought to know
if any one does.
The heats of and the preva-
lence of yellow fever in the south-
ern ports of the Gulf of Mexico
have put a temporary quietus on
the filibusters from the American
main land.
All Iron goods are as firm as the
material from which they are
made. Price are advancing.

Tampico is in better health con-
ditions than the ports in the West
Indies or the Mexican port of Vera
Cruz. Official information from
Tampico to the health officer of
this state shows not a trace of the
scourge in that port. Dr. Swear-
ingen is leaving no stone unturned
to preserve the gulf coasts of this
state from infection. He is known
to be able fearless wise and thor-
oughly versed in the conditions
that rule along the coasts of the
Gulf of Mexico. The state is as safe
in his hands as it is possible to
make it and for this the people
give thanks accordingly.
If there is anything in the way
of an orderly sensible respectable
high toned moral and truly ele-
vating entertainment that goes
ahead of the band concerts at
Muth’s on Thursday evenings it is
in order to trot it out. Yet there
are those who deem it a sin be-
cause families meet there to enjoy
the music and the breeze and each
others society and quench their
thirst with a glass of beer. There
is not a church entertainment in
the country more free from all that
is criticizable than those musical
entertainments the church people
being themselves judges as heard
by the Light.
Houston rubs it on Han Antonio
because the railways do not give
this city a fair deal with Houston
in the matter of cheap excursions
into town. This is the one thing
in which]Houston has the drop on
the best city in the State but it
will not be so always. Other
trunk lines will enter the corpo-
rate limits of this city in the
course of time and then there will
be something else to be considered
besides the benefits of the east
Texas railway centers. San An-
tonio bides her time.
San Antonio is not going to kick
for the exercise that it will give
her for she is not constructed on
that plan but she is keeping her
eyes on the sewer thermometer and
watching the turn of events in
that field. She is not so certain
that there is anthing wrong as she
is that it is a good time to watch
the corners and see who are laying
their thinking mains on the same
level.
There is a shrewd attempt to
scare the American cattle now
grazing in Mexico over the border
in defiance of the regulations but
it will not pan out ten cents on the
dollar. The department at Wash-
ington is on to the scheme and is
watching it with a double barreled
shot gun.
That San Antonio bond issue is
not out of the weather yet but
there are hopes that a roof can yet
be erected over it and the same
protected frdm the wet. There is
something intensely discouraging
in these repeated attempts to haul
the iron out of the fire by the hot
end.
SCHOOL AND CHURCH.
—Massillon the grtat French preach-
er had a singularly talented mother
whose influence over his life was un-
bounded.
—Mission work in New Mexico com-
menced in 1866. There are now twenty-
five schools more than forty ministers
and native helpers and over eight hun-
dred communicants. There are about
forty missionary teachers on this field.
—Rev. Dr. Amory H. Bradford the
well-known clergyman and writer
says his experience as a preacher in
various colleges leads him to believe
that there is more skepticism among
college women than among college
men.
—Rev. B. Fay Mills asked an audi-
ence of 1339 in Portland at what age
each one had begun the Christian
and found that 1100 began before 20
years of age; 180 between 20 and 30; 35
between 30 and 40; 14 between 40 and
50; 8 between 50 and 00 and 2 between
00 and 70.
—A Young Men's Christian associa-
tion for the young men among the
lepers of Molokai has been organized
by the Hawaiian branches. A build-
ing has been erected and a paid secre-
tary himself a leper is in charge. The
membership nearly one hundred is
made up of lepers entirely.
—Gaston Paris who has just been
appointed rector of the university of
Paris in place of M. Gaston Boissier
the new perpetual secretary of the
French academy is the greatest living
romance philologist. He was one of
the first Frenchman to study at a Ger-
man university a practice which was
rapidly spreading when the war of
1870 broke out and which promised
brilliant results from the adoption of
German habits of thoroughness by
French minds. M. Maspero the Egypt-
ologist was a candidate for the place.
—During the French-English war
French people in New Haven pro-
claimed themselves absolute neutrals.
The students were then good tories
to a man. England was their father-
land and the revolution was not
thought of. Yale was then an English
college. Nathan Hale (Yale 1773) was
about eight years old at this time.
The students threw rocks into the
Frenchmen's windows at night plas-
tered their doors with mud annoyed
the so-called neutrals in every way
believing as they claimed they were
constantly assisting the French forces
in Canada. To be revenged one of the
Frenchmen gained access to the com-
mons kitchen and put arsenic into the
hasty pudding. It is said that of those
who ate pudding all recovered but one
student. This led to an attempted at-
tack on the French residents by the
angry students and the French neu-
trals were competed to leave town.
Whitefield utilized the situation for a
stirring appeal and a revival followed
in which half the college was con-
verted.
THE HUMAN HAND.
What Some of Its Detects are Taken to
I Indicate.
If one examines the hands of a large
number of persons with nervous en-
dowment he will find curious defects
in the length and relative proportions
of the fingers. The length of the
I fingers is determined by that of the
i middle one. If the index and mendius
: are closed upon the palm the ring and
little finger being left extended the
middle finger will reach close to the
’ place where the so-called life line runs
down between the ball of the thumb
'and that of the little finger. It will
touch the palm just below the highest
part of the ball of the thumb. The
middle finger is taken as the standard
of length by which to gauge that of
the others. In a normal hand the
forefinger reaches just to the root
of the nail of the middle finger; the
ring finger is longer and should reach
nearly to the middle of the nail of the
medius while the little finger should
reach to the last joint of the third
finger. Now in inebriates epileptics
neurotics and the degenerate general-
ly. these proportions are often not ob-
served. The most common defect is
shortness especially of the third and
little fingers though sometimes these
fingers are unna’urally slender or the
little finger is slightly bent. The most
common abnormality of the thumb is
excessive shortness with a defective
mobility. These peculiarities well ac-
centuated form what we may call the
“decadent hand”—the hand that
writes our sensuous novels the Haupt-
mann drama paints symbolic pictures
and exploits pure atheism. Such
hands may be well formed to the ordi-
nary eye and may be attached to slen-
der and graceful limbs. But this kind
of beautiful hand and arm is found
quite as often among the children of
alcoholics and among those highly
cultivated families which have become
degenerate by vices and vicious cross-
ing.—N. Y. Home Journal.
—The Bird Could Talk.—A well-
known New Yorker who stutters
dreadfully and who has an inordinate
fondness for practical jokes was walk-
ing along South street in company
with a friend when they encountered
a sailor who was carrying a saucy-
looking parrot in a cage. “W-watch
me” said the joker. “I w-will have
some f-fun w-with this man.” So stop-
ping the sailor he inquired. “M-m-my
g-good m-man c-c-can that parrot
talk?” “Well." said the sailor “if he
couldn't talk any better than you rd
wring his bloomin’ neck.”
