CITY COUNCIL
BEGTJLAB MEETING OP THE
MUNICIPAL FATHERS
LAST NIGHT.
Petitions Ordinances and Oth
er Routine Matters Tlio
Mayor's Message.
The council met in regular session
last night prestnt his honor. Mayor
Robertson and seventeen councilmen.
A petition fioin trustees of the Ger-
man Lutheran Church to have an al-
ley in the vicinity of said church
opened. Referred to Street Committee.
A petition was offered by Alderman
Brennan asking the Council to extend
Wilson street through the Rainey ad-
dition the owners of said property
having offered to donate the same
provided the city build a bridge over
Waller Creek. Petition was referred
to the Street Committee.
An oidinance was passed widening
the sidewalk from ten to twelve
feet.
The following is taken from the
City Treasurer's monthly report:
CASH BALANCES MARCH blsT.
Hospital fund $ 816.22.
Cemetery fund 1140.08.
Market fund 1333.20.
Back debt fund.... 172.73
Interest fund 800.00.
General fund 291)05.07.
Of the above cash balances only a
small sum has been appropriated
leaving cash balances to the general
fund of $23166.97.
The City Clerk read a paper ad-
dressed by the Mayor to the Coun cil
which covered the following facts:
First. The sanitary condition of the
city. This was not what it should be.
It was now the beginning of the hot
season and it was evident that the
rules of sanitation are not properly
observed. Apprehensions ol ep-
idemic diseases especially chol-
era seem to prevail. In
other cities urgent measures are
being taken to enforce cleanliness. It
was recommended that measures be
immediately taken to put the city in a
thoroughly clean and healthy con-
dition. Third. The City and County IJos-
pital. This institution is at present
without regular management except
on the part of the County Judge in
behalf of the county and the Hospital
Committee in behalf of the city. It
was necessary to have a distinct head.
The County Judge has made the fol-
lowing proposition :
First An appropriation to fully
furnish and fit up the grounds and
building the city and county to share
the expense equally as heretofore.
Second The county to turn over
the entire management of the hospital
to the city and to pay the city $2000
per year as its share of the expenses-
patients to be admitted as heretofore.
Third The condition of the streets
the financial condition of the city at
present is such as to justify the" ex-
penditure of several thousand dollars
on the streets.
It is recommendedjthat an appropria-
tion of $5000 for the general improve-
ment of the streets of the city be
made $500 fcr each of the ten wards.
Said sum to ba expended under direc-
tion of the Street Committee and the
aldermen of the respective wards; and
all work to be under the supervision
of the City Engineer.
Fourth The attention of the council
13 directed to tha bridge on East ivles-
qulte over Waller Creek. The stone
work has been completed but will
prove a failure unless the street is
filled and graded the execution of
which is recommended.
The Mayor "tkI Hospital Committee
were authorized to confer with
the county authorities to enter
into some mutually satisfactory plan
regarding the future management ot
the hospital.
Aldermant Schuber introduced an
ordinance appropriating $500 f0r
street improvements in accordance
with the Mayor's signature which
was passed.
Alderman UnderhiU moved that a
committee of three including Mayor
City Attorney and Chairman of the
Fire Committee be appointed to inves-
tigate the matter of purchasing the
Doc Day property to locate the houses
for the fire company buildings.
A resolution was adopted locating
seven street lamp3kin the Fourth
Ward.
An ordinance appropriating $5050
for the payment or the City Water
Company for hydrant rental from
July 1st 1381 to January 1st
1885 was introduced by Al-
derman Crooker. It evoked the same
old storm of discussion. The same
old charges were rung on the defects
of the water supply for the year "84.
Alderman Hill was against the ordi-
nance and voting with him were
Messrs. Wells Underbill Campbell
Schubert and Warren. They consti-
tuted a minority twelve Aldermen
voting in favor of allowing the Com-
pany its money.
An ordinance appropriating g5022
for approved accounts was passed and
Council adjourned.
The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders and directors of the
Houston and Texas Central Railway
Company will be held at the com-
pany's office in the city of Houston
on Monday the 4th day of May 1885.

Poison at the Front Door.
No article entering so generally into
the food of every family has been
found more villainously adulterated
than baking powder. or the pur
pose of underselling those powders of
absolute purity and wholesomeness
which alone are safe for use in . food
hundreds of dealers are putting up
baking powders with cheap and adul-r
terated cream or tartar wmcn con-
tains lime earth; etc. adding strength
by the free use of alum.
These adulterated powders are
"shoved" upon the public with the
greatest persistency. They are first
given away left in samples at pri
vate residences with circulars con
taining bogus analyses and certificates
and false representations as to
their value etc. This fact
ot Itself is sufficient to
condemn them. A first-class article
will sell on its merits. No manufac
turer whose good3 are of value can
afford to give them away and none
but the cheapest make and most inf e
rior or unmarketable good3 require to
be distributed free in order to get the
public to use them and this method is
adopted only by parties who have
failed to dispose of their wares
through the ordinary and legitimate
channels of trade.
Free samples of articles of food left
at the house should be regarded with
suspicion. There is no guarantee of
their wholesomeness while there is
real danger that they contain a fatal-
ly poisonous compound. Many in-
stances of poisoning from the use of
such samples are recorded.
The only safe way is to consignfcas
such samples immediately to the all
barrel and to turn a deaf ear to the
statements made by their vendors. It
is not worth while to trifle with life
and health to the extent of test-
ing every' doubtful baking pow-
der that comes along. Bet-
ter to rely upon an old and
reliable brand like the Royal which
has by a quarter of a century's con-
stant use proved its perfect whole-
someness and efficiency or some other
brand that is not so worthless and
cheap that . its proprietors can afford
to give it away by the cart-load. It
is in its favor that the Royal Baking
Powder is never given away sold by
means of lotteries nor accompanied
by chromos spoons crockery or other
guts except the guts ot absolute pur-
ity wholesomeness full weight and
superlative leavening power. Its own
merits have been its chief advertise
ment and they have secured for it the
constant patronage of the American
people to an extent beyond the com
bined sale of all other baking powders
The Royal Baking Powder is certified
by all the Government chemists as
absolutely pure and perfect.
STJXUCK DEAD.
An Electric Bdt Knock a Small
Colored. Boy into Eternity.
Yesterday morning about halt past
10 o'clock an unusually vivid flash of
lightning followed by a heavy clap of
thunder must have been no
ticed by every one in Austin.
About tne same time a little mu
latto boy named Robert Williams
was proceeding homeward from a vis-
it to the postoffice. He was walking
down the capital syndicate Railway
track and had got as far as the corner
of Trinity and College Avenue when
the fatal current struck him. . He
was almost in sight ot home
"when struck down. His mother
was the first to reach him
The poor little fellow waa lying just
outside the track quite dead. There
was a bluish spot on his forehead and
down his body to mark where the
lightning had -done its work: and
there was a slight bleeding at the
nose. This was all. The subtle yet
deadly agent had killed him quickly
a deatn wmctv-nowever terrible
in some of its aspects is perhaps the
most painless of all. It was sad
however to see his mother's sorrow
as she cried in agony over the corpse
of her child. A jury of inquest re-
turned a verdict in accordance with
the above statement.
RELIGIOUS MATTERS.

riages on one Sunday. -

Ths Methodist Protestant of Balti
more ol which Jtiev. Dr. Xj. J . unnK-

Miss Cleveland sister of the President
of the United States is an active
member of the W. C. T. U. and just
before the nominating convention she
joined the women of the society in
prayer tor divine guidance to tne con-:
vention in the selection of candidates.
She little thought then that it would
fall to her lot to act as mirtress or tne
White House."
Jame Russel Lowell says that the
world gees to church to be quiet and
takes it amiss to be interrupted in a
alculation of the price of cotton by a
personal reference to any of its own
bosom sins. The world has employed
the preacher to abuse the Scribes and
Phrasees and not to be looKing too
nicely after its own conscience. The
world believes nrmiy mat tne wnoie
race of Scribes and Pharisees was
dead and buried 2000 years ago and
see3 no harm in being a little severe
upon their foibles especially as there
are no surviving relatives whose feel
ings can be sent on edge by it.
The Rev. C. W. Leadbetter a liter
ate. formerly curate of Bramshott
Hampshire who went out to Ceylon
in a small vesgel with Mme. Bla-
vetskv. ha3 embraced the Buddhi3t
faith. Seated at the feet of the yellow-robed
ministers of Buddha he
said "1 take my refuge in Buddha in
the law and in the order." The
Pausil was administered by the high
Driest to whom Mr. Leadbetter stated
that his reasons for ioiniDsr himself to
the Buddhists were that it was his de
sire to arrive at the truth. "Christi-
anity was all based upon hearsay evi
dences and contained much that was
unreasonable." he said "while the
teachings of Buddha is that we should
oelieve not rung wmcn our reason caa
not accejt."
They have trot a preacher in one of
the N ew York churches who hits at
sin from the shoulder and who does
not throw any oinness of excuse over
the iniquities of his congregation.
The other day he said to his congrega-
tion that "The great monopolists are
represented here they are present in
every pew; adopting tne direct ad-
dress of the prophet to DaviJ he
declared: "You rigorously exact of
labor all you can." "Men are forced
to labor as though they had no souls"
continued the preacher; "if the horse
car companies owned their men thc-y
would not venture to make them
work fifteen hours on a cold winter
day. The men are worse off than
the horses and the stockholders
do not care a sixpence for their souls
or bodies." The church he proclaimed
must show herself the friend of labor
A deacon in a Pennsylvania town
holds the opinion that certain young
men ajd maidens do not attend prayer-meetings
for the glory of God but
for the love of each other. They do
their courtine.' he thinks while the
services are in progress and though
they sing and even lead in prayer
with ereat visor they are animated
more by profane than holy motives
In fact he objects to their singing as
too loud under the circumstances
and as calculated to disturb those de
vout souls who are accustomed to
drone through hymn and prayer.
Therefore as the young people will
not be saved according to the manner
which the deacon thinks proper he
has resolved to snatch them not out
of the burnine but out of the church
and to that end he has procured their
arrest on a charge of disorderly con
duct. -

About Woman Some of the Facts and
I Uncles of the Late Lord Disraeli.
I think that Disraeli in an old man
uscript has treated the sex abomina
bly. Still I can not avoid occasionally
laughing with him lor his rettections
though not always just are trenerally
amusing. Here is a first budget of
extracts:
"Coquets give their blossoms to
their lovers and their thorns to their
husbands.
"When a woman has lost one battle
she rarely wins anotner against th
same roe.
"A blush often announces the de-
parture as well as the arrival of
shame.
"Why do the Germans make the
moon masculine v Surely we are
justified in regarding her as feminine
since she la essentially chanjreablrt.
"Men are people who make rules ;
women are people who make excep-
tions. "It is recorded that God said. 'Li t
us muke man in Our image after Our
likeness.' It would perhaps have
been impolitic in Moses to hint more
directly that woman was made in a
very different moid. The conclusion
however is obvious.
"l here is no marriage in heaven;
neither is there any .heaven in mar-
riage. "A beauty without any wit s'ems
to me to resemble a bait without any
hook on it.
"I believe there are some women who
wear petticoats simply lest they should
be mistaken for men.
"There is this difference between
passion and love Jthe one breeds
headaches the other breeds heart
aches; but neither would be danger
otis if there were no fools in the
world.
LiOve certainly increases tne popu-
lation of the world but I doubt
whether it adds much to that of
heaven.
"Of all the women whom I have
known I chielly remember those who
forgot themselves.
"it is quite possible for a man to
respect a woman so much that she
will despise him.
"If a man does not take his wife to
church the chances that sooner or
later he will ba obliged to follow her
thither.
"Adam in Paradise must have slept
very peacefully until he had the mis
fortune to lose a rib.
"A woman is flattered by the love
even or a beggar in rags.
"Marriage is much like a spaciaus
bird-cage set in a garden on a winter
day. The ins would be. out and the
outs would be in.
"Love like a fire is liable to be
extinguished by over-much stirring
A good woman wearies a man; a
bad one worries him.
"It i3 often not until a woman feels
she is too old to be loved by man that
she seeks to be loved by God.
"The word 'curious' means quaint
a3 well as inquistive. Woman in
in both senses of the word is a curi-
ous animal.
"Manis a substantive; woman is an
adjective.
"Addition is the bounden duty of a
bachelor. When he has mastered it
multiplication will follow as a matter
of course.
"The two most difficult things are to
paint a picture on running water and
to convince- a woman who does not
wish to be convinced.
"Man sometimes calU a womr.n a
goddess but he would not love her if
she were one. This fact doubtless
accounts for the partiality which was
shown by the sons of God for the
daughters of men in the antediluvian
periods The daughters of God must
have been a little too ethereal.
"It does not speak well for the fairer
sex that as a rule he best succeeds
among women who has the lowest
opinion of them.
"It is perhaps extraordinary that
more marriages do not turn out un
happily .since the woman generally
marries to get into the world while
the man generally marries to get out
of it.
"The great argument against the
admission of women to public posi
tions is her inability to be punctual
"A woman may not have a religion
yet sne always nas a duty.
"Most women feel flattered when
they are charged with little weakness
of which they are not guilty perhaps
they know that her faults are so
often a women's chief charms. .
"I man will return rather to her
who has deceived him than to her
whom he has deceived.
' "It is well to remember that a wo
man's eyes and ears are not all at the
Bameslde of the head.
