THE CITY.
1 he Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway Re-
trenchment.
The very marked system of retrenchment
recently inaugurated by the management of
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway
company is at present the all-absorbing topic
in railroad circles. The pruning-knife has
been applied all along the line, and even the
general office here has been decimated of its
usual clerical force by the general cut. Be-
side those who have been let out, salaries of
those retained have been cut down all the way
from 10 to 30 per cent. It is estimated that the
retrenchment will aggregate from 40 to 50 per
cent, upon the annual expenses in certain de-
partments.
Regarding Weights and Measures.
The tiens is in receipt of a very practical
communication upon the subject of fraudulent
weights and measures used by dealers in this
city, and suggesting the subject as one that
should justly claim the attention of the next
legislature in the way of a remedial enact-
ment looking to the establishment of a stand-
ard and a thorough system of Inspection to
enforce a couformance to the slandnrd estab-
lished. The suggestions of the correspondent
are pertinent to the closing canvass, and can-
didates for the legislature might find it ad-
visable, in serving a certain element of their
constituents, to look into the matter and ap-
ply the proper remedy where the evil is found
to exist.

An Incorrect and liijiist Assumption.
The New Orleans Picayune, by the republi-
cation of the following article from the Mobile
Register, revives the subject of the Cole-Mag-
gioli San Antonio billiard match;
About three months ago, as the male por-
tion of the population will remember—some
of them very keenly—a flutter of excitement
was created among toe circle of sporting men
by the arrival here of a man calling himself
Ed Dawson.
He hailed from Denver, Col., and claimed
to be a billiard expert. He at once attracted
attention and gained the confidence of a num-
ber of local sports by a skillful manipulation
of the balls and cue, and judicious use of a
fluent tongue. After giving one or two exhi-
bitions of his own expertness as a billiardist, he
made the announcement that he could beat
Frank Maggioli, the champian billiard player
of the South. This announcement, coupled
with the creditable exhibitions which he had
given, gained for him backers in this city in
the person of one or two unsuspecting specu-
lators, and he was matched against the New
Orleans man.
The match was played, and resulted in a dis-
astrous defeat for Dawson. The game was
hardly finished before rumors of a sellout and
a put-up job commenced to fly around, but
they were never substantiated, as nobody se-
cured enough interest to investigate the mat-
ter thoroughly. Dawson left the following
day, saying he" was going to return to Denver.
However this may have been, his ticket was
bought for Galveston, Texas. Three days
later an announcement wa3 made in the Gal-
veston papers that a man giving his nam; as
Harry Cole, a stranger in the city, was giving
exhibitions of blldard playing, and had on
one occasion made the unusually large run of
six hundred and odd points. A later descrip-
tion of the man agreed exactly with that of
Dawson, the fellow hailing from Denver.
Cole was next heard of flashing a challenge
across the wires to Maggioli for a game of
3000 points. Of course the challenge was ac-
cepted, and of course Cole was beaten, as the
denouement discloses.
The game was played at San Antonio and
was divided into three innings played on con-
secutive nights. On the first night the game
closed with Cole 1000 points and Maggloii 17.
On the second night the difference in the count
was lowered to about 350 by Maggioli, and on
the third night the difference was almost as
large in Maggioli's favor as it had been at first
in Cole's. The latest news from San Antonio
indicates that a few of her sports, like some of
M obile's, are kicking themselves with disgust at
being " roped in."
In an interview with Cole he emphatically
denies the plurality 01 names and charges of
playing a brace game as charged against
him. As this wonld be natural under the cir-
cumstances, Tire News interview probed the
matter to the bottom, eliciting from reliable
sources the following facts: Henry 8. Cole is
the son of Samuel Cole, proprietor of the
Western Union hotel, New York, and
the statements of the Register's informant
to the contrary notwithstanding, he bears
no resemblance to Dawson; and, furthermore,
Cole, at the time he was alleged to have
figured as Dawson in Mobile, was here in Gal-
veston in charge of Jos. Keenan's Bank Ex-
change Billiard parlor, where he remained
until opening the Tremont. Since his engage-
ment in Chicago, by Mr. Green Dullield, and
his arrival here, June 27, Cole's only absence
from the city was during the time of his prac-
tice and match in San Antonio with Frank
Maggioli.
Dawson's real name is Kinney. As these
reports are calculated to injure Cole, who in-
tends to make Galveston hi3 home, the facts
are published at greater detail than othar or-
dinary circumstances would be given the
matter. The News representative has Mr.
Cole's photograph, which will be forwarded
to the Mobile Register,
Lyceum Exercise.* Deferred.
Owing to the detracting interest in politics,
the regular exercises at the Lyceum will be
deferred this evening and the programme, in
eluding a very interesting debate upon the
question of labor unions, will be postponed
until the next regular meeting.

The I'lrciiR.
To-day Is circus day—a day In the epoch of
tho life of a child looked forward to with long-
ing and happy anticipations, and when passed,
looked back upon with treasured recollections
find hopes of a speedy return. As the heart
of the child is made happy, so are those of the
t nrents gladdened, and the circus may be
looked upon as a powerful influence in touch
irgthe purse of the parent through the heart
of lhe child. This influence will make itself
manifest to day in this city by the thousands
of men, women and children that will be found
at one time or another wending their way to
avenue P and Twenty-seventh street, where
the big Sells Bros', circus will stretch Its
mammoth canvas, and exhibit its fifty cages
of animals and remarkable acrobatic and
equestrian feats in its quadrupled rings.
Mr. Hurry Evarts, the little giant orator
and descriptiveleoturer'of Sells Brothers' levia-
than shows, dropped into Tub News olflae
yesterday evening. After a few remarks on
the growth of Galveston since the little giant's
last visit to the Island city, Mr. Evarts pro-
ceeded to talk circus. '* Will you please put
down," paid ho, " that our monster and never-
enough to be admired tents wiil be pitched at
the corner of avenue 1J and Twenty-seventh
street, and not at tho base-ball grounds, as
previously tnnounced, owing to the dilapi-
dated condition of the earth's surface at the
latter point? Have you that down?" said the
little giant. Tbe scribe nodded assent. "Well,"
continued Mr. Evarts, " it might be well to
riate that the fakirs who have been following
the show were all picked up yesterday by or-
der of Mr. Sells, and are now securely locked
up. Those fakirs are a nuisance," the little
giant remarked, " and I would'nt cry very
much, 1 assure you, if I heard of a dozen of
them being blown up by dynamite."
It Wouldn't Work.
Mr. D. G. Bronson, a well known sporting
character in this city, came from Houston
yesterday, where the sporting fraternity are
plying their vocation unmolested, and opened
up last night at (Ki>£ Market street. It must
be said to Mr. Bronson's credit that he did not
attempt to violate the law sneakingly, but
opened up under a full jet of gas and with
0|>en doors. He had probably forgotten that
gambling was a thing of tbe past iu Galveston,
but was soon forcibly reminded of the fact by
being arrested and summarily closed up. His
case will come up tomorrow before the re-
corder.
Observing the Day.
VeBterday, All Souls day, was appropriately
observed in this city by large numbers visiting
tbe different cemeteries aud decorating the
graves of departed loved ones. The thorough-
fares leading to the different cemeterios were
crowded during the afternoon by large cro .vds
bearing floral and other emblems for the
graves of departed friends and relatives, and
a visit to these silent cities of the dead could
not but impress one with a salutary influonce
incident to so general an observance of this
christian custom.
Speaking' To-night.
The Hon. Wm. H. Crain, Democrats can-
didate for Congress for the Sevonth congress-

Administering the Oath to Aliens.
The following appeared in The News Aus-
tin special of October 29:
The attorney-general has telegraphed to the
connty judge of Webb county as follows: "A deputy
clerk con not administer the preliminary oatn to
aliens anywhere, nor can the clerk, except in his
own office. We are informed that a certain clerk
hns been traveling around with his seal and admin-
istering such oaths. Tbe votes of all such parties
must be peremptorily rejected."
John D. Tempi.iton, Attorney-general.
In reference to above, the following tele-
graphic correspondence transpired:
Galvfston, October 30,1884,—Jon D. Templeton,
Attorney general, Austin, Tex.: My deputies have
in almost all instances administered tile prelim-
inary oath to aliens. To entitle such aliens to vote
will it be necessary for me to recall the papers al-
ri ady issued and administer tho oath niysolf ? An-
swer. P. S. Wren, County Clerk.
Austin, October 30.—P. S. Wren, County Clerk:
Better recall them, as federal courts do not recog-
nize such acts of deputy.
John D. Templeton, Attorney general.
The above correspondence explains itself. I
mill be at my ofllce each day from now until
November 5 to administer the oath as re-
quired. Persons who have papers signed by
my deputies will present themselves aud others
will be given them.
My foliow-citizens will not expect me to ab-
sent myseli from my office under the circum-
stances.
I take this occasion to solicit the votes of all
who ure satisfied that I have douo, aud am
continuing to do, my duty.

To the Citizens and Voters or IJalve.ton County.
At tbe solicitation and by tho advic* of
eoiue of the best citizens of this county, I an-
nounced myself as a candidate for county
clerk, feeling certain that I have had experi-
ence enough to enable me to fill that oillce with
credit to myself and satisfaction to the people.
I find, however, that certain parties are try-
ing to injure my chances of success by creat-
ing a prejudice against me for no other reason
than because I am a young man. My reply is
that I am not too young to have worked
for a living in Galveston for the last
eleven years since I left its schools. I was not
too young to work as shipping olerk from
November, 1873, to December, 1875, for the
firm of Dargan & Tobyn, and not too young a
n an to clerk for the cotton firm of R. & D. G.
Mills from December, 1875, to June, 1877; nor
v as I too young to fill important clerical posi-
tions for three years in the Galveston, Hous-
ton and Henderson railway and for three
cars in the Gulf, Colorado and Santi Fe.
The mayor of this city did not think me too
young, fourteen months ago, without solicita-
tion on my part, or even a personal acquaint-
ance with him, to appoint me city clerk of
Galveston, a position quite as responsible, if
not more so, than that of county clerk.
The records of this city to-day will show*
that 1 am not too young to have kept them
with as much ability as the ablest of my pre-
decessors. Surely it is no crime to be a young
man, when lean boast that for the past eleven
years I have never been twenty-four hours
out of employment. I ask the young men of
Galveston if youth combined with ambition
and industry Is a crime. I ask the old men if
they wore not once young themsoives? And I
ask both young and old whether a man, be-
cause he is joung, should be frowned down
for daring to aspire to a place in the front
rack of the mechanical, social, commercial or
political life of his city? Hoping for a favor-
able reply st the ballot-box oft Tuesday next,
I remain most respectfully your obedient ser-
vant, Daniel J. Buckley.

[To Tbe News.]
Galveston, November 1, 1884.—Will you
kindly allow me through the medium of your
columns to call attention to tho rare chance
being offered for the improvement of our
children in singing, by Mrs. O. Gareissen,
who is organizing a series of classes for girls
of all ages? And may I, at the same time, give
to the public the assurance that through my
rendiDg, study and experience as a teacher of
piano X am convinced that all children who
study the instrument will learn doubly as fast
if assisted by the early training of the oar to
correct and pure tones? The first instrument
is the human voice; all others are but imita-
tions. With young girls especially, whose vo-
cal organs do not change as much as boys',
lhe earliest possible beginning of instruction
would be in the highest degree advantageous.
It is only owing to the unnatural and
overstrained method of studying the art of
singing now prevalent, that a principle recog-
nized and applied in the learning of all other
arts, and even in all the other branches of
music, has universal prejudice against it. It
is the custom by those who have not such in-
formation or ample means to wait umil their
sons and daughters are quite grown to give
them to a singing teacher, often without other
musical preparation, when it is expected that
they Ehall in the shortest time possible—per-
haps in a few months—sing with applause be-
fore company. It is no wonder that we hear
so much poor singing and so many cracked
voices. Then, on the other hand, childreu are
brought together to Bing by injudicious per-
sons for some show or exhibition, aud their
vocal powers forever impaired by a few weeks
of overstrain. Hence I call upon those parents
interested in this matter to study and think
for themselves and embrace an inexpensive
and safe method of teaching young children
tbe use of their voices, while learning at the
same time to better understand instrumental
music, of which we hear so much on ail sides
with such a lack of the tiue sing in it.

Bread Without Yeast.
It is a well know fact that bread made with
yeast, if eaten before it becomes stalo, ferments
agniD in the stomach, producing indigestion
and numerous other complaints. Bread raised
with Royal Baking Powder, instead of yeast,
is entirely without this defect; but on tho con-
trary, is one of the most effectual preventives
of indigestion or dyspepsia. By the use of the
Royal Baking Powder the saccharine proper-
ties of the flour, which are destroyed by fer-
mentation with yeast, are preserved and the
bread is made more nutritious. Ten per cent,
more bread is baked—because of this saving—
from the same quantity of flour.
The Royal Baking Powder will also make
sweet, white bread from an inferior quality of
flour, a property possessed by no other leaven-
ing agent. Thus, much flour that is dark in
color, or from other cause is considered below
tbe finer grades, and therefore much cheaper,
can be utilized and turned into a perfectly
sweet, and wholesome bread. Nor can bitter
bread ever result from the use of too much, or
more than the required quantity, of Royal
Baking Powder; as, whether used in small or
large quantities, its proportions are in such
exact equivalents that they always neutralize
csch other. Bread made in this way does not
require mixing over night, but may be pre-
pared ready for the oven in a few minutes; an
advantage that will be readily appreciated by
every housekeeper.

A gentleman behind me is relating his trials
on the Dutch frontier. The customary ques-
tion: "Have you any linen that has been
worn?" was put by the official. Tho gentle-
man replied that he had a night-shirt in his
bag which bad been worn the night before,
but could not justly be termed soiled, and as
be had not been in any cholera infected dis-
trict, it could not be subject to confiscation.
Tbe official, however, seized it, dipped it into
a nauseous dish of carbolic acid and sulphate
of copper, wrung it out, and handed it back to
our fine young gentleman, who is not yet over
bis disgust. He quietly laid tho garment down
and went to The Hague night shirtless.

William (an Indian remedy), caHed Dr. Wil-
liam's Indian Ointment. A single box has

less relief, and is prepared only for piles, itch-
ing of the private parts, and for nothing else.

DOLPHIN MEAT.
Making Dried Beer from the Flesh of Porpoises.
Cape May, N. J., October 24.—After a
number of weeks of enforced idleness the Por-
poise Fishing company is once more in active
operation, with indications of a successful
career before it. The organization was formed
for the purpose of netting porpoises and mak-
ing oil Ircm the blubber. The new venture
I artock of tho nature of an experiment and
w as not very successful, as the cost of captur-
ing the, fish and putting the oil iu the market
proved aB great as the receipts. Creditors be-
gan to harass the cone^ern, and, to crown all
its misfortunes, the company's little steamer,
used to transport the crews to the fishing
f rounds, was cast upon the beach during a
cavy gale.
Rtcent developments and discoveries have
dissolved the troubles which beset the new
enterprise. Washington Butcher's Son3, of
Philadelphia have been experimenting with
the meat of the porpoise, and have made an
important discovery, calculated to make por-
poise fishing a lucrative and leading industry
along tbe shore.
Porpoise flesh is red and juicy like good beef,
only that it is tenderer, more solid aod of finer
grain. It is pleasant and savory to the taste,
although not commonly eaten along the shore.
Hie fiim above named has discovered that
when properly cured the meat tastes almost
exactly like dried beef. The Press correspond-
ent sampled the smoked porpoise meat to day.
It was a little redder than dried beef, cut
easily and was delicious to the taste—much
richer and pleasanter than ordinary dried
beef. Several firms stand ready to buy all
the porpoise flesh the company can supply, and
they expect no difficulty in finding consumers.
It will be known to the trade as dolphin
meat. It has the advantage of having no
bones or fat in it, and there will be no waste
in cutting. The process by which porpoise
flesh is made into dolphin meat is simply by
smoking it like beef.
The average weight of a porpoise is 350
pounds. Its body is covered just beneath the
skin with a layer of fat two inches or more
thick, while beneath it is a mass of solid red
meat. Tke fishing company has hauled its
steamer off the beach, and now expects to
catch fifteen or twenty porpoises every day
until cold weather drives them into Southern
waters. Porpoise meat will be sold much
cheeper tbnn dried beef, and this, combined
with its relative excellence, will no doubt
make it a favorite dish with everybody.
Mr. Geobge Tindale, in the employ of
Levy Brothers, Melbourne, Australia, says
that he suffered extreme pam from neuralgia
and received immediate relief by the use of
St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain-cure.
