Order Department
The secret of the wonderful success of
our Order Department is mumiy attributa-
ble to its efficiency iH supplvibr tie ex-
pressed wants of the public with every
desirable class of Dry Goods al reasonable
prices.
In order to accommodate ttie increased
demands upo» this branch of our business,
we removed it into large and commodious
quarters and amplified its clerical force, so
that all orders may be tilled and shipped the
same day they are received.
Every man in this Departme nt is not only
thoroughly experienced, but wnsHMntioufbg
studies to fill all orders, whether large or
small, according to the expressed wishes of
the trade.
We aim to treat all of our " order " cus-
tomers justly by supplying them with the
best of everything at the lowest possible
prices.
SUGGESTIONS.
The few items contained in this adver
ttsement are mentioned merely to call your
attention to our Order Department We
issue semi-annual catalogues which more
fully describe all the varied grades and
classes of goods we keep.
Our manner of doing business is strictly
one price. Every customer, whether rich
or poor, is treated alike. Please bear this in
mind.
We cheerfully ?"nd samples of all piece
goods when requested, and will promptly
answer all inquiries in regard to goods of
which samples can not be cut.
When you send for samples please state
»bout the range of prices and colors wanted.
Also the kind of goods. We can then send
you samples that will enable you to make a
selection.
These Catalogues Sent Free.
Price list of Dress Making Department.
Price list of Bridal Trousseaux.
Price list (with samples and rules for
measurement) of Tailoring Department
Catalogue of Butterick's Patterns.
Also eur General Price List, containing
prices and descriptions of nearly all of our
stock, giving suggestions how to order, how
to send money, and other valuable informa-
tion in regard to purchasing merchandise by
mail orders.
Often a lady is better suited and procures
better goods in buying from sample than
she could select if in the store in person.
Many times in flurry and haste customers
make bad selections, but in buying from
sample there is no need to hurry.
The same prices are given on samples and
la the price list as would be charged if
bonght in the house. Thus you have all
the advantages of our large and weil selected
stock and low prices, and r.lso save the ex-
pense of coming to the city in person.
We furnished our trade last spring with
19.R50 price lists.
The orders are carefully tilled by thirteen |
persons.
Every written request or suggestion «e- j
eeiveg the most careful attention.

More Comparative Port Charge* -Gal*
veaton and New Orleans.
[To the News.]
Having heretofore shown Galveston to be
the most accessible, cheapest and best market
for disposition of Texas cotton by an undis-
puted comparative showing as against New
Orleans and St. Louis, we request space in
your valuable paper to refute an assumption
of tbe New Orleans papers that Galveston's
shipping facilities and port charges were in-
adequate aud not on a parity with theirs. De-
siring nothing but hard, iuci>ntrovertible facts,
we give actual existing charges on all styles
of vessel*—old style, deep-oraft. steam and
sail, and more modern build. Galveston again
comes victorious to the front with an advan-
tage of from 35 to <S5 cents per bale in addition
to what we have previously shown and se-
cured their virtual admission of. If the papers
of New Orleans or her friends and patruns can
contradict us in any particular, we court it.
We want nothing but our due. Our estimate
is made on two steamships loaded here during
the season. The Marlborough is a British
steamer of deep-draft, and received her entire
cargo from lighters. The Colorado is a New
York steamer of modem build, and adapted to
our trade. Both sail vessels referred to below
are of large tonnage and of deeper draft than
a large majority of those regularly trading
here.

Or. Browne Dnty.
Tbe News-is requested t*v Dr. Brown, quar-
antine officer, fco remind the pnblic that the
raising of quarantine by tbe board does not
terminate "his chity of enforcing quarantine
regulations, as he will be required to enforce

same.
Tbe Social Evil,
To the question of Capt. Atkins, chief ef po-

nance is in contact with the city charter, city
attorney Davidson has replied that section iO,

same is not. Section 1Q defines the territory
in which the social evil is not tolere.ted tSec-
tiom 11 relates to the anting of property for
purposes of prostitution.

s. M. Bemiss.
letter from kauffman & hl'nge.
The secretary read the following:
Galveston, October 31—Dr. J. M. Haden,
President Board of Health, Galveston—Dear
Sir: With a feeling of reluctance and regret
we again are forced to address you on the sub-
ject of our coffee vessel, Maria. It almost
seems as if there was an element in our board
of health which is working with all its might
to the detriment of Galveston commerce.
From the columns of tbe News we learned
that at the last regular meeting of the board,
the question whether it was entirely safe to
admit the vessel or not underwent a thorough
ventilation and free discussion. Dr. Brown was
present, and reported as favorable regarding
the condition of the vessel and crew, as he ever
could have done, and in consequence thereof
the U)ard instructed him to allow the vessel to
enter, or rather left it to his discretion. This
statement of the News was corroborated by
several members of the board who, without
being asked, informed us that everything was
in shape, and that we could send for the vessel.
To our utter surprise and disgust, however, the
pilot who went with the tugboat came back
reporting that Dr. Brown flatly refused to al-
low the ve*sel to leave quarantine station, say-
ing that he wanted a written order from the
board. Capt. Fisher and other membeis of
the board, on whom we called for an explana-
tion, were amazed at the action of Dr.
Brown, and they thought that there must
have been a gross misunderstanding on the
part of Dr. Brown, notwithstanding the in-
stri^ctions given him at the meeting were as
plain as could be. Upon oar request, a special
meeting of the board was called for Wednes-
day night, when it suited the pleasure of the
medical members to shine by their non-at-
tendance, thus defeating tbe object of the
meeting, no legal quorum being obtained. We
can hardly believe that it is tbe intention of
the majority of the memliers of your board to
destroy the commerce of our port and to in-
flict heavv losses upon merchants of this city
by arbitrary measures. Our state is receiving
now daily large quantities of coffee from all
points, including New Orleans, which have
left Rio about thirty or forty days ago. We
do not apply for favors, but, as tax-payers of
this community, we demand justice. Respect-
ful kaukkman & l.unge.

Dr. McClanahari offered the following:
Resolved, that on and after the 1st of No-

abolished at the port of Galveston.
Seconded by Dr. Watts.
Mr. John suggested that the governor of the
state had not raised quarantine, and asked
whether the terms of this resolution might not
lead to souie confusion.
l)r. McClanahari explained that the resolu-
tion was intended merely to terminate local
quarantine- ^
Dr. Haden suggested that it might be better
to say, " subject to the approval of the gover-
nor."

For New Orleans.
The steamship Hutchinson arrived from In-
dianola yesterday at 4 o'clock p. M. After dis-
charging a trifle of freight and taking on a
number of passengers for New Orleans, she
sailed for Morgan City. This destination was
decided upon on the presumption that quaran-
tine against that port would be raised before
j the vessel arrives there, so that she will be free
to return. Dr. Martin, inspector under the
1 national board of health, was on board, and in-
i formed the reporter that the sanitary condition
; of tbe vessel continued good. He asked passen-
| gers from Galveston if they were provided
j with certificates, and finding that they were
I not, generously supplied them with the same.

JACK HUE!
was bound over in a bond of $250 to appear
before the criminal court on a charge of as-
saulting and striking officer James on last
Tuesday night, about half-past ten o'clock. On
a city charge of drunk and disorderly, he
plead guilty, and was fined in the sum of $5
with the alternative of five days in jail. Huey
was also charged with abusing and insulting
his wife, Delphine Huey. This was also prov-
ed up against him, and on his plea of guilty,
another fine of $10 or fifteen days was entered
up. The latter two sentences were suspended
until after action is had upon the first case by
the higher court.
mollis ryan
was arrested by officer Ireison. The charm
was drunk and disorderly. Mollie had kicked
up a row in the planters' hotel, and after ar-
rest the officer testified she used the foulest
tongue owned by any woman in town upon
him. Mollie plead guilty. His honor fined her
$10, or ten days.
may stevens
was again before his honor on two charges.
One was drunk and disorderly and another
vagrancy. On the first she was fined, $15 or
fifteen days, and on the second she was dis-
charged, with a warning that if she came up
again the fullest penalty of the law would be
assessed against her. May looked penitent.
She admitted being drunk, and Had no
knowledge of her actions. She told
the recorder that hereafter she wonld
change her life if he would only forgive her for
the present. His honor listened to her, but was
obdurate. Mav's case is one where the re-
formatory would be more serviceable than a
prison. She has a good face, without any
mark of vice upon it, and she has a modest,
genteel appearance, being quite young. If not
snatched from her, pre-^ent course of life, in a
very few years she will be so far on the down
track that it will be beyond human power -to
rescue her.
richard lynd
was arraigned for interfering with the officer
who arrested May Stevens; also for being
drunk and disorderly. The recorder fined
I Lynd $10 or ten days on the first charge and
dismissed the second one.

the green eyed monster.
John Pruett, a bright young colored man,
was engaged to Minnie Jefferson, a dashing
young mulatto girl. Minnie was frolicking at
her door with smother swain, which excited
John's jealousy. He waited the departure of
his rival, and asked Minnie if she were through
frolicking# He then slapped her all round her
room. Minnie stated that John had been wait-
ing on her, but '* thinks he'll never make it."
For the defense, John saidrhis actions were all
through jealousy. What his sweatheart stated
was all true. The recorder thought he had
treated his lady love very badly, and he fined
John $5 or five days.

Thorp Springs Guide: Grasshoppers dis-
appearing. ... .The teachers of Add Ran
college have selected and ordered a suitable
monument for the grave of their comrade
aud brother Jarrott Mr. Weir, of the
Cumberland presbyterian church, preached
some able and forcible discourses to inter-
ested audiences at Add Ran hall last week.
Add Ran college has been the very
making of Thorp's Springs. This college
began it work with only thirteen pupils, and
during its first session enrolled one hundred
and twenty-five. She began her seventh an-
nual session not quite a month since, with
one hundred aud fifty, has now about
one hundred and eighty, and fair
prospects of running up to tJiree
hundred before the close of the session
Then Thorp's Spring was a very small and,
we must say, rather shabby-looking village,
there being then only forty-two houses, and
among that number not more than half a
dozen cood ones. Now, it is bo longer a
village, but a town, boasting one hundred
and twenty-six residences, and some of
them—in fact, moat of the new ones—nice
enough for any town. Of eighty-four houses
that have been built in the last "six years, all
but eight were built—to use the words of
the builders of those houses—" that we may
send children to Add-Ran college." Now
our town supports three dry goods houses,
three family grofceries, two drug stores, two
bakeries, three feed stores, two hotels, quite
a number of boarding-houses, eta Last
Thursday we made a careful count of the
population of Thorp's Spring, and find there
are five hundred and thirteen souls, not
taking into count those who are boarding
here and attending school. There are about
one hund red and seventy-five of the latter.

Your columns contain list of vessels in port
and those to arrive, with their tonnage, which
show conclusively that they are adapted to the
trade and can take the better portion of their
cargoes at the wharf free of lighterage. Having
shown advantage over New Orleans of 47c per
bale in factorage charge, and from 35 to 65c in
port charges, making an aggregate advantage
from 82c to $1 12 per bale, we submit to the
business men of Texas whether or not a saving
of upwards of one million dollars annually
is not sufficient to secure to Galveston their
patronage. If we are not prepared to handle
it and not entitled, where are we lacking?
