CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
Saengerbund's Annual Election of Officers
Tracing Up a Shipment of War Cotton-
Struck With a Hatchet.
Houston, Tex., June 16.—The jury in the
case of James Chandler, charged with the
killing of young Maroney last December,
were kept locked up all night and all of
the day. It is reported that there is very
little hope for them to reach a verdict.
They will be brought into court to-morrow
morning and asked if they have agreed
upon a verdict, and if they have not
agreed, and the court is satisfied they can
not agree, they will no doubt be discharged
by the court.
ANNUAL* ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The Saengerbund held an interesting
meeting this mornlg at their hall on the
corner of Caroline street and Preston av-
enue. It was the annual meeting of the
bund and of course was very largely at-
tended. The most important business of
the meeting was the election of officers
for the ensuing year, which resulted as
follows: M. Tiling, president; William
Freckmann, vice president; Osw. O. Loeser,
secretary; Charles Heine, treasurer; G.
Hartung, custodian; E. Fuehs, color bear-
er; C. C. Lieb, musical director.
Board of directors; William Bottler, Fritz
Hooker, E. Fuchi, J. Furatenburg, A.
Brunner, A. Meister, J. Hartung, H. Herr-
mann and L. Hart man n.
Finance committee: A. Meister, H. Herr-
mann and G. Hartung.
The reports of the retiring officers
showed the bund in excellent condition and
that its growth has been steady and
healthy.
The Saengerbund was organized June 17,
1884, and its membership numbers over
200. At the next meeting it will be decided
when tthe anniversary celebration will take
place.
To-night a large reception for members
and their frdends was held in the hall.
HUNTING WAR COTTON.
On Friday morning General James E.
Slaughter of Mobile and Mr. William A.
(Maury of Washington, D. C., arrived in the
city and took apartments at the Capitol
hotel. These gentlemen were distinguished
looking to a degree that excited general
comment about the 'hotel, where they were
frequently seen together, and there wias
considerable curiosity to know who they
were. They spent the day in the city and
took their departure without even a news-
paper man being able to And out their
(mission to this, city, for k was evident
that it was a business one.
Since their departure, however, it "has
been ascertained that they were lawyers
and were engaged in looking up the facts
of a large shipment of cotton sent from
New Orleans during the war to Mexico,
where it was seized by the Mexican gov-
ernment. The cotton passed through this
city to Alleyton, then the terminus of the
railroad, and from that point it was hauled
by wagon to Mexico. These gentlemen
ascertained from Captain J. H. Baldwin
tlmt the cotton arrived at Alleyton, where
he was agent for the railroad company at
t'ha't time. The co'tton belonged to a citizen
of New Orleans.
CRAPS AND A HATCHET.
Some people can't engage in a quiet little
game of craps without turning it into a
monkey and parrot time, and this indeed
proved to be the case with two citizens of
Fable hue, who took part this afternoon in
this enchanting but fickle game with the
dice out In the Third ward. The exclama-
tory invocation, "Come eleben, come
peben," was changed to a cry of pain wheft
Henry Sampson and Harris became in-
volved in a dispute as to who "flung dem
craps." The former was hit over the head
with a hatchet.
As might be expected, this not only broke
up the game, but it broke up Sampson's
(head very badly. Sampson was taken to a
drug store, where his head was dressed.
The affair occurred out on Leland avenue,
near the Aransas Puss track. The trouble
was reported to the police station and
Officers Lee and Selton responded, but
could not find Harris. Sampson's wound
Is a serious one.
6UNDAY INTERMENTS.
The funeral of Albert Kuhns took place
tfhls afternoon at 4 o'clock from the family
residence, No. 614 Kessler street. The
funeral was attended by the members of
Houston council No. 35, order of Chosen
(Friends, of Which the deceased was a mem-
ber. Deceased was 38 years of age and
had many friends, who deeply deplore his
demise.
The remains of Claudius A. Sanders, the
unfortunate young man who was accident-
ally killed while attempting to board an
International and Great Northern train,
were buried this afternoon in Glenwood
cemetery. The deceased was about 28 years
of age and was a son of Officer Sanders
of the police force. He was a member of
the National Fraternal union, and the
members of the local lodge attended the
obsequies in a body.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR UNION.
There will be a meeting of the executive
committee of the Houston Christian En-
deavor union next Tuesday evening at the
Central Christian chapel, on Caroline
street. Interesting reports will be listened
to^ from the delegates who were at Fort
Worth and preparations made for the next
local union meeting. As to whether Hous-
ton will send a delegate to Boston or not
to attend the international convention will
also be discussed, as well as matters of
vital interest to the woTk in Houston and
vicinity. All interested in Christian en-
deavor work, whether members of the ex-
ecutive committee or not, are cordially in-
vited to be present at the meeting and
•njoy tire good things.

RAILWAY INTERESTS.
CENTERVILLE WANTS IT.
People of Leon County Favor the Project
of Canalizing the Trinity.
Centerville, Leon Co., Tex., June 15.—The
people of Centerville seem to be well
pleased with the proposition to canalize
the Trinity river, thereby making it navi-
gable all the year round. Business -men
estimate a saving of from $50,000 to $75,000
in the way of freights, as it costs $4 per
bale to place cotton in Galveston by rail,
when it could be carried by water for less
than $2 per bale, and a corresponding re-
duction in up freights. Furthermore, it is
claimed that the lands in and near the
Trinity valley would more than double In
value.
The Leon county teachers' institute is in
session, with quite a large attendance of
teachers. The board of examiners will
convene Friday and Saturday next for the
purpose of examining applicants. The
sweeping revocation of local permanent
certificates will necessitate quite a number
of re-examinations.
A BOLD BURGLAR.
Ttunge, Karnes Co., Tex., June 16.—A bold
burglary was committed here last night in
the saloon of J. T. Parker. The thief
gained entrance by forcing the shutter
open on a window, and taking a light out,
raised the sash. He went in the upper
story, where Jim Bailey, the bartender,
sleeps, and took the key of the safe from
Bailey's pants, went into the office, opened
the safe and took $180 out. He overlooked
a package of $30 which was In one corner
of the safe. No other goods are missing.
The safe is an old-style lock and key af-
fair, and after the thief procured the key
he had no trouble in gaining access to the
money stored in it. There seems to be a
regular band of sneak thieves and bur-
glars in and around town lately, as several
thefts and attempts at burglary have been
committed of late.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
Orange, Orange Co.—A heavy rain fell
here. It was acoompanled by heavy wind,
much lightning and many deafening peals
of thunder.
Centerville, Leon Co.—Rains are falling
almost dally. A great deal of cotton has
not been chopped out; in fact, some are
plowing up and planting over at this late
date. Corn and oats are good.
Burkeville, Newton Co.—Heavy rains
have fallen throughout this section since
the 7th, and crops that were clean and in
fine growing condition last week are now
in the grass and wreeeds, and will soon be
seriously damaged if the rains continue.
Creedmore, Travis Co.—A nice rain fell
here, which will be more beneficial than
injurious, as the grasss was sapping the
ground very fast. Farmers are still be-
hind with their work. Cotton not doing
well; too much rain. The plant is very
•backward and generally lousy. Corn is ex-
cellent and will make an excessive yield If
no disaster comes. Oats crop very good.
Sugar cane good.
Brazoria, Brazoria Co.—Cotton is grow-
ing finely and if we have a late fall a full
crop will be gathered. Corn Is nearly all
laid by and is very fine. Grass is extra
fine and growing Like a prairie on fire, and
is working the farmer for all he is worth
and it is nip and tuck between them who
shall take the crop. The daily rains are
greatly assisting the grass, and the farm-
er would like to see a week of sunshine.
Bastrop, Bastrop Co.—A very heavy rain
fell here last night, so that everything in
the line of farm work is again at a stand-
still, but the farmers have been putting in
their best licks for t'he past two weeks.
Crops, especially corn, are seemingly get-
ting a very good start in spite of t'he
bligh-ting effect of the long siege of wet
weather with which they had to contend
recently. Prospects for a line yield in
fruit are splendid, while the gardens are
better than wiseacres and croakers pre-
dicted.
Salado, Bell Co.—Another heavy rain here
Friday morning, which was not needed.
The crops are already in the grass and no
chance to clean them; early cotton is badly
damaged with lice; it is not as large as it
was three weeks ago; the late planting is
being cut down by the cut worms and the
crop in many places Is being planted over.
The corn crop is all that is doing well, und
it Is foul on many farms. Garden vegeta-
bles are more plentiful than they have
been for many years. Some oats have been
cut and the straw was green and they will
rot from the big rain.
Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches Co.—A heavy
rain fell here Friday afternoon, accom-
panied by strong winds. Both the rain and
the wind did serious damage to crops in
many lo'Cali'ties. Corn was blown down
and much of it broken off. It is 'lasseling
and silking and, being so large, it will be
hard to restore its upright state, thus en-
dangering the product. Standing oats were
blown down and can not be harvested.
Cotton was not seriously damaged by the
wind, but the rain, besides being excessive
and retarding, washed lands badly. Crops
in general are damaged 10 to 20 per cent.
Wallls, Austin Co.—Cotton: No increase
In acreage and, owing to continued rains,
the stand is very poor and condition bad;
condition is about 50 per cent as compared
with last year; hundreds of acre9 are Just
planted. Farmers, not being able to clean
from its weedy and grassy condition, and
to facilitate matters, have plowed up and
planted over. Indications are favorable for
rain, which will seriously threaten the
poor prospects. Corn is good where not
drowned out. The average is about 105 per
cent as regards oondltlon and, while more
was planted, t/he rains have killed It out
sufficient to reduce the acreage to last
year's crop. Gardens are medium; fruit
and grapes are fine.

BAD SHOW FOR RAILROADS,
THE SANTA
Austin, Tex., June
•WING.
But the Reoort Is for the Year Ending: June
30, 1894—Progress of Work on the
Galveston, La Porte and Houston.
Washington, June 16.—The seventh sta-
tistical report of the interstate commerce
commission for the year ending June 30,
1894. has just been submitted. In the intro-
duction special attention is called to the
conditions affecting the operation of rail-
ways during the year.
1. The report covers the last four months
of the Columbian exposition, during which
time there was an Increased passenger
traffic.
2. It covers a period of widespread and
unprecedented business depression.
3. On June 30, 1S94, 192 roads operating
upwards of 42,000 miles of line and repre-
senting about one-fourth of the total rail-
way capitalization were in the hands of
receivers.
The effect of these conditions is appar-
ent in nearly all of the figures repre-
sented. The total railway mileage In the
United States on June 30. 1894. was 17S.708,
an increase during the year of 2217 miles.
The increase during the previous year was
4^)7. The percentage of Increase during
1894 was less than for any preceding year
for which reports have been made to the
commission, and it is not probable that
tie year ending June 30, 1895, will show
much improvement.
The number of roads abandoned was six-
teen. The total mileage of all tracks was
233,533. The total number of railway cor-
porations on June 30, 1894, was 1924. an in-
crease during the year of 22. The number
of railroads not in operation was 77. The
movement of consolidation during the year
on the basis of mileage involved has b.vn
greater than in four years previous; fifteen
roads, representing 1784 miles, have been
mortgaged; twenty-two roads, represent-
ing 2352 miles, have been reorganized,
and fourteen roads, representing
1590 miles, have been consolidated. A
classification of railways on the basis of
operating mileage shows that forty-four
roads, with a mileage of 1000, operate 100,-
574 miles of line, or 56.4 per cent of the
total mileage of the country.
Ninety roads operate 72.9 per pent of the
entire mileage. On June 30, 1S94, the total
number of locomotives was 45,492, an In-
crease during the year of 701. The total
number of cars represented was 1,278,987.
The increase in number of cars during the
year was 4132, as against an Increase of 18,-
8G4 during the previous year. This falling
off In the ratio of Increase Is due to the
fact that the railways have during the
year destroyed a large number of old,
worn out cars. During the year 1579 loco-
motives and 30.380 cars were fitted with
train brakes and 1197 locomotives and 34,-
18G cars were fitted with automatic coup-
lers. Seventy-four and SI hundredths per
cent of the total equipments is still with-
out train brakes and 72.2 per cent without
automatic couplers. The total number of
railway employes on June 30, 1894, was 779,-
608, a decrease as compared with the num-
ber of June 30, 1893, of 93,994, or 10.7 per
cent. This is a smaller number employed
than in any year since 1890. This decrease
is due, the report states, to the heavy
falling off In traffic and the endeavor of
the railways to economize.
A new feature in this report Is a table
giving a comparative statement of the av-
erage daily compensation of the various
classes of railway employes for 1892, 1S93
and 1894, was $10,790,473,818, or $62,951 per mile
of line. There is an Increase in amount of
outstanding capital during the year of $29.-
233,298. The amount of capital stock was
$4,978,978,379, of which $4,103,584,146 was com-
mon stock and $730,491,493 was preferred
stock. The funded debt was $5,356,583,019.
The amount of current liabilities was $605,-
185,135. The amount of railway securities
held by the railways as Investment was
$1,514,058,670, a decrease during the year of
$18,93<;,563. The amount of stock paying no
dividend was $3,060,150,094, or 64.43 per cent
of the total amount.
The total amount of dividends was $95,-
975,976, or an average rate on the dividend-
paying stock of 5.41 per cent. The amount
of bonds paying no interest was $650,573,789.
The amount of miscellaneous obligations
paying no interest was $53,426,266, and the
amount in income bonds paying no interest
was $210,757,554.
The number of passengers carried was
619,688,199, an increase over the previous
year of 26,127,587, and was occasioned by
the world's fair travel.
There was a large decrease in freight
traffic, the number of tons carried being
386,553,789, as against 745,119,482 in 1893.
The gross earnings of the railways for
the year were $1,073,361,797, a decrease as
compared with the previous year of $147,-
690,077.
The revenue from freight traffic de-
creased $129,562,948. The amount of operat-
ing expenses was $731,414,322, a decrease of
$96,506,977.
The largest percentage of. decrease was
in the operating expenses assigned to the
maintenance of equipment, which show re-
spectively a decrease of 15.12 and 17.72 per
cent. The net earnings were $341,947,475, a
decrease of $50,883,100 as compared with the
previous year. The incoime derived from
sources outside of operations was $142,816,-
80-5.
The amount of fixed charges and other
deductions from income was $420,008,310,
leaving a net income of $55,755,970 available
for dividends, a decrease as oompared
with the previous year of nearly 50 per
oent.
The amount of dividends paid was $95,-
575,976, a decrease of only $5,333,909 from the
amount paid the previous year. The fact
that nearly the normal amount of divi-
dends wore paid notwithstanding the great
decrease in income available for t'hem, and
that the payment of the amount stated en-
tailed a deficit from the operations of the
year of $45,912,014 is noted.
The revenue derived from the carrying of
passengers was $285,345,558, and the revenue
derived from freight traffic was $699,490,913.
During the year 1823 railway employes
were killed and 23,422 were iniured, as
■Compared with 2272 killed and 31,729 Injured
in 1893. This marked decrease in casualty
Is? partly due, the report says, to the de-
crease in number of men employed and the
decrease In the volume of business handled.
The Increased use of automatic appliances
on railway equipment also may have ren-
dered railway employment less dangerous.
The number of passengers killed was 324,
an increase of 25, and the number injured
was 3o34, a decrease of 195.
To show the ratio of casualty it may be
stated that one employe was killed out of
42 in the service and 1 Injured out of every
33 employed. In concluding the report, the
statistician renews the recommendations
made in previous reports in regard to the
desirability of requiring annual reports
from express companies, corporations, com-
panies and persons owning rolling stock
Used in interstate commerce, corporations,
companies and persons owning depot prop-
erty, stockyards and elevators used by in-
terstate carriers and from carriers on
water that compete with railways for traf-
fic. Reference is also made to the question
of requiring the railways to report freight
earnings by commodities.
On account of the present depressed fin-
ancial condition of railways, it has been
decided to let this matter rest for another
year, although there is no question as to
the desirability of such reports.

COLORED UNIVERSITY.
Report of the Committee of the Colored
State Teachers' Association.
Austin. Tex., June 11.—Following is the
report of the committee on university of
the Texas state colored teachers' associa-
tion;
To the President and M mbers of the As-
sociation; Your committee on university
b-*g leave -to submit the following report
and make certain recommendations in con-
nection therewith:
This committee was created in San An-
tonio four years ago and has presented
memorials and petit ions to the successive
legislatures. The first step taken by the
committee this year was to have reprinted
in a circular form the "Address to the
l'eople of Texas," which was presented by
the committee at the Galveston meeting
one year ago. Copies of this address were
placed on the desks of members In both
the senate and house in the earlier part
of the session of the last legislature. The
Kindness of The Galveston-Dallas News
in again giving publicity to this address
is certainly commendable.
A bill nutting in operation a branch uni-
versity for colored youths was framed by
Hon. R. L. Smith, who manifested great
Interest in this matter. The bill was by
request Introduced into the house by Hon.
Mr. Graham, a member from Travis. Soon
after this bill had been Introduced and re-
ferred to the, committee on education the
university committee were summoned to
Austin to go before the house committee
on education and urge the passage of the
university bill. A part of the committee
failing to come their places were substi-
tuted, a new memorial was prepared and
an hour arranged to meet the house com-
mittee on education. But unforeseen cir-
cumstances prevented a meeting of the
house committee both on the day agreed
upon and on the next day. It was then
decided by the university committee to
leave the matter in the hands of the chair-
man. Later in the session after repeated
trials and disappointments the chairman
succeeded in getting before the committee,,
presenting the memorial and making ar-
rangements for its support. No action was
taken by the committee except to refer
the bill to a subcommittee.
The president of the association in his
excellent annual address, after commend-
ing the work of our committee, recom-
mended the continuance of this committee,
and -urged a ceaseless prosecution of the
matter until success should be an as-
sured fact. Something has been effected.
Sentiment has been created—favorable sen-
timent. We should not stop. To the honor
of Texas she provides impartially for the
elementary and normal training of all her
citizens. Let her now complete her benefi-
cent work by making equal and Impartial
provision for the secondary training of
the negro youth of Texas. Since southern
sentiment has rendered it imperative that
there be a dual system of education justice
demands that the duplication be complete.
Like Shylock, not in spirit but in letter,
we crave justice and the law. A writer
in a recent number of the Century points
out that industrial training alone will suf-
fice for the best development of the negro.
Mechanics and arli-ans of every sort are
an Increasing ne« --sslty. The spirit of the
hour is Industrial, inventive. The mind of
to-day is more intensely, intelligently cu-
rious, persisting to master and manipu-
late the physical forces. Tesla, with the
seven-leagued boots of a God-given and
transcending ger.ius, has outstripped him
whom erstwhile we denominated "Wizard
of Menlo park." The higher education is
aesthetic rather than industrial and ethieal
rather than mechanical. Scientific experi-
ment and mechanical manipulation form
the Intellect, educate the head and hand.
The higher studies of literature, history,
ethics, arithmetic, rhetoric, pedagogics and
the classics educate the heart, rfwaken
the nobler emotions and develop purity,
nobility, strength and sweetness of char-
acter. The negro race needs leaders of
the higher stamp, leaders of the higher
training. The negro needs educated, up-
right and moral preachers, teachers, doc-
tors, lawyers and editors. The leaders of
mankind who shape and direct the current
of human life, who lead on to more glo-
rious achievements and up to more ex-
alted heights of character have not all
been mechanics. They have been artists
rather than artisans. The negro needs
truly educated leaders.
Education will never make the negroes
of America a great nation, but true educa-
tiontion, combining the spiritual and ma-
terial, will make us a great people; will
make us a great factor in the greatest of
all nations.
Superintendent Carlisle said in his re-
marks to us Tuesday that he believed edu-
cation would solve the negro problem. Ed-
ucation, which in this country means
Christian education, for this is a Christian
country despite the bowlings of the great
dervish of infidelity, Ingersoll, will solve
the negro problem. It will solve all prob-
lems, and in the development of that
greater America just beyond us. when
electricity shall have annihilated time,
.Fpace and darkness, when chemistry shall
have rendered man Independent of agri-
culture and fearless of famine, when
Christian education shall have abolished
social disorder, the negro will be a help-
ful and potent factor in the International,
interracial unity, which shall be a unity
of language, religion and culture that shall
embrace all humanity, a unity consisting
of infinite variety, adjusted to universal
harmony.
Recommendations: 1. That the commit-
tee on university be continued with a more
compact organization and a wider scope,
its primary object being to secure the es-
tablishment of a branch university for
colored youth, provided in the state con-
stitution*; its subsidiary aims being to en-
courage the higher education or negro
youth in Texas, to stimulate the estab-
lishment and growth of city high schools
and to collect data concerning the second-
ary schools for negroes in Texas.
2. We recommend that each teacher agi-
tate this subject in his community, In city
and county institutes, in district associa-
tions and in the various religious,/bodies,
and that teachers everywhere get their
representatives to pledge themselves to
support a university bill.
3. We recommend that the committee ap-
point from its own number a subcommit-
tee on statistics and a subcommittee on
literature and printing.
4. We recommend that the committee be
authorized to have necessary printing and
distributing done a»t the expense of the as-
sociation.
5. We recommend that this committee
confer and co-operate with the university
committee of the oolored men's state con-
vention.

TRIBUTE TO JUDGE MILLER.
Austin, Tex., June 16.-Judge T. S. Miller,
professor of law and chairman of the
faculty of the state university, who retires
the end of the present session to be general
solicitor of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
railway, was yesterday presented with a
beautiful silver tray by the law class of
1895, with which were handed him th<? fol-
lowing letter and resolutions;
University of Texas, June 15.-Prof. T. S.
Miller, Austin, Tex.—Dear Professor: In
view of your intended resignation of your
position In this university we, the senior
law class of 181*5, take occasion to express
our high esteem for you and our life-long
gratitude for your unselfish devotion to
our interests, your' untiring efforts to the
end that each of us might know and love
the law, and your distinguished services
in this department of the university. In
you we recognize a gentleman of the tru-
est type, modest, generous and manly;
careful In speech, courteous In deportment,
sincere in friendship, courageous in convic-
tion. conscientious in act, Just, loving and
God fearing; an Instructor without a su-
perior, well grounded in principle, thorough
in knowledge and broad of intellect, invit-
ing confidence and commanding attention,
kind and impartial, zealous and systematic,
unsparing of yourself and expecting much
of your students, who love to follow where
you lead; a lawyer who has mastered Ills
profession, whose career has proven to all
who know hini that he is without fear and
.vithout reproach, whose example is worthy
of our institution.
Accept this expression of our feelings to-
ward you and the accompanying token of
the friendship and esteem we cherish for
you.
In leaving this institution you take with
you our best wishes for your continued
success. We rejoice at your prosperity,
yet it is with a tinge of sadness that we
contemplate your gain will be the univer-
sity's loss, we have the honor to be your
friends, the members of the senior law
class of 1893.
The following is a copy of a resolution
adopted:
Whereas, It has recently come to the
knowledge of the law class of 1895 that
Prof. T. S. Miller has resolved to sever his
official connection with the university of
Texas at the close of the present term, and
Whereas, it is but meet that we as his
associates for the past two sessions should
voice in a feeble manner at least in words
that Impart our love for him as a man
and our appreciation and deep esteem for
him as a teacher of men; therefore be it
unanimously
'Resolved* by this class, that we can only
view this contemplated departure of our
beloved professor in the light of a profound
loss to the dignity and scholarly culture of
our faculty, and as calling for naught but
the purest regret from all who have the
welfare of high education in the state at
heart; and be it further
Resolved, that from an association ex-
tending throughout his too short connec-
tion with our institution, we have learned
to love Prof. Miller, not alone as we would
love pre-eminent ability or peculiar genius,
but as a man with a heart a.s big as his
mind and a smile as kindly as his genius is
great. We are blessed with the Impress
that his vigorous intellect in Its masterful
range and schooled accuracy must leave
on our class. We will emulate him and
essay his methods as a moat perfect guide
to the ideal counselor; and,
Resolved, finally, that, in the walk of life
ho has recently chosen, our professor shall
be followed by the earnest good wishes
and deep personal esteem of each individ-
ual student of this class, for our memory
of him and the cordial relation his charm
of manner have established with us the
gladsome factors that rendered least bur-
densome our study of the law.

SHERMAN INSTITUTE.
Sherman, Tex., June 15.—The city of
schools echoes no longer to the tread of
the students and the crowds of visitors
have all departed. We have time now to
look back and see what particularly im-
pressed us in the work of commencement
week. The opening event of the week was
the art reception in the institute gymna-
sium, which was an exhibition unsurpassed
in the south. Art in all of its various
branches was represented in the 700 speci-
mens, the work of the sixty art students
of the session just closed. The display of
china was a marvel of beauty and fine
work.
The commencement sermon of Sunday
morning was delivered by the Rev. L. L.
Lamkin of Houston and the address to
the Young Men's Christian association by
the Rev. Mr. Miller of Bonharn.
The concert Monday night and the re-
cital of Monday morning showed very
clearly that Sherman institute has a con-
servatory of music second to none in the
south. The society entertainment of
Tuesday night was a unique and happy
affair. The following ia the programme:

MONEY MADE AT HOME.
Last month I cleared, after paying all
expenses, $235.38; the month before $186.86,
and have at the same time attended to my
regular business. I believe anyone, any-
where can do as well, as I have not a par-
ticularly good location and not much ex-
perience. When you have an article that
every family wants, it is very easy selling
it. it seems strange that a good, cheap
dish washer was never befqre placed on
the market. With the Perfection, which
sells for $5, you can wash and dry th«
dishes, fbr a family In two minutes, with
out putting the hands In the water. As
soon as people see the washer work they
want one, and that Is why so much money
can be made so quickly. For full particu-
lars address The Perfection Mfg. Co., Sta-
tion O, JSnglewood, 111. I feel convinced
that any lady or gentleman, In any loca-
tion, can make $5 to $10 a day, as every
family will very soon have a dish washer.
Try It and publish your experience for the
benefit of others. ALIOB O.

BAYLOR COLLEGE.
Belton, Tex., June 14.—The alumnea of
Baylor college held their annual reception
In the college halls and parlors Tuesday
evening, June 11. The reception was es-
pecially interesting, this being the fiftieth
anniverslty of the college.
Dr. Clark, who was for twehty years
president of the college, with many of his
pupils, was present.
The alumnae formed in line of march
and repaired to the dining hall, where a
sumptuous banquet was spread.
The toast mistress of the occasion was
Mrs. Henry Lang of Beaumont, who, with
all her graces and charms of intellect, did
honor to herself and the alumnae.
After feast was over toasts and re-
spouses were called for, and each seemed
to vie with the other in lofty sentiments.
Many glowing tributes were paid the alum-
nae and Baylor college.
Long past the hour of midnight gotnl-
bys were repeated and faithful promises
made that all would be present at the
next annual occasion to pay tribute to
their alma mater.
SACRED CONCERT.
Brenham, Tex., June 16.—The Baylor fe-
male orchestra gave a concert at Fire-
men's park last night and a sacred concert

ette county and is well known throughout

TO INCORPORATE TRINITY.

RELIGIOUS.
INSTALLED AS MINISTER.
Bryan, Tex., June 16.—The Installation
services of Dr. West as pastor of the First
Presbyterian church occurred here to-day
at 11 a. m., conducted 'by Rev. William
Hayne Lea veil of Houston and Rev. J. G.
Tanner of 'Navasota. Dr. Lea veil preached
a sermon comparing doctrinal and practi-
cal preaching and its effect upon church-
goers. His text was from the fifteenth
verse of the second chapter of Paul's let-
ter to Titus: "These things speak and ex-
hort." Dr. Leavell said that fifty letters
sent out to young men elicited from at
least forty the concurring reply that chey
wanted less of doctrinal preaching as it is
usually understood and more practical les-
sons In the love of God. Paul was the
great teacher ot t'he ages and gave his
doctrinal lessons to the people in epistles,
while his sermons 'were full of practical
Christianity.
After the sermon the usual installation
exercise was had, Dr. Leavell delivering a
short and pointed charge to the pastor and
addressing the congregation. Dr. Leavell
preached again in the afternoon.
Preparations have been marie to enter-
tain the delegates of the B. Y. P. U. and
state Sunday school conventions, which
convene here this week.
REVIVAL AT ROCKDALE.
Rockdale, Milam Co., Tex., June 16.—
Services were again held at the tabernacle
last night by Evangelist B. Bowen. Ills
sermon was principally aimed at the sa-
loons, and in the course of his remarks he
stated that we needed local option here.
Just now religion seems to be taking the
place of politics in this section. A big, old-
fashioned camp meeting is advertised to be
held at Buffalo Springs, Burleson county,
beginning Friday, July 26, which will be
conducted by Revs. R. H. H. Burnett and
Abe Mulkey. They have a fine camp
ground.
Elder J. T. Rogers, evangelist for Milam
county for the Christian church, will begin
a protracted meeting at Salty on June 27.

June, 1895, and numbered on the docket of
said court 17.ti3»i, against the said Catherine
Corcoran, or Corcorin, and the unknown
heirs of Catherine Corcoran, or Corcorin,
and alleging, in substance, as follows:
That plaitiff is the owner, in fee simple, of
loa No. 3, in folock No. 130, in the city and'
county of Galveston, Texas, and is in pos-
session of said lot; that plaintiff and those
under whom he claims has and have been
in peaceable and adverse possession of said'
lot, cultivating, using and enjoying the
same and paying all taxes thereoh, and
claiming the same under deed and deeds
duly registered for more than five years
before the institution of this suit and for
more than tin years next before the insti-
tution at this suit he has had peaceable
and adverse possession of said lot, culti-
vating. using and enjoying the same, and
that he is now in possession thereof and1

of limitations of live ami of ten years
aforesaid, which he now sets up and pleads

of said Catherine Corcoran or Corcorin or
any of them: and that he has good title
thereto by said statutes of five years and
of ten years limitations and otherwise by
regular chain of title to himself from the
sovereignty of the soil. Plaintiff also al-
leges that said defendant, Catherine Cor-
coran or Corcorin, acquired 'title to said
lot by deed from th«- Galveston City com-
pany, of date April 4th, 1860, which deed is
duly registered in the records of Galves-

informed and believes that the said Cath-
erine Corcoran or Corcorin is the same
person and identical with Katie Rebecca
Berleth, who intermarried with and is -the
wife of John Berleth, but by reason of the
disparity or difference in the name of
Catherine Corcoran or Corcorin and Katie
Rtibecca Berleth, a cloud is created upon
the title of plaintiff, which Injures the ti-
tle of plaintiff to said lot, and renders the
sale thereof impracticable and otherwise
injures the title to said lot and the use
and enjoyment of same, to plaintiff's
damage, $3000. Wherefore he prays for

sion and title to said lot, that said cloud
