tice of the Peace W. B. Hill, acting as
coroner, went out and held the inquest and
took the testimony of amos Fox. who
said: "I knew the deceased, George Patch;
we were out in Mexico about eight weeks:
we got back last night: we came out to
deceased's house, 2"»fi7 Harrisburg road, and
slept there: about 3.o'clock p. m., March (5,
the deceased and a man had some talk, and
I walked out on the gallery and the shoot-
ing occurred, that is. the deceased was
shot: the man shot twice; that is all I
know about it."
S. A. Hpllens, on oath, said that about
3 o'clock p. m.. March t>. "1 was working
close by the Harrisburg road; 1 heard two
shots tired; saw a man come out of a
yard; the man stopped and talked with a
woman; don't know what he said to her:
when 1 came over to the house, L'517 Harris-
burg road, I found deceased lying in the
back yard on his face, shot: he was still
breathing, but died in half an hour."
George Palmer, on oath, said: "I heard
two shots about 3 p. m., March G. near mv
Office; I started over, when 1 saw Foster
coming toward me: he works for me as
switchman; I asked him what the excite-
ment was, and he said. 'I guess I have
killed a man; go over and see.' I asked
him the name of the man and he said
Patch: he offered me a pistol and said.
'Give it to Reardon.' and 1 told him to
leave it at the watchman's shanty, which
he did: he also said he tried to get to me
first and I beat him to it: he 6aid he want-
ed street car fare, and I gave it to him,
as he wanted to give himself up to the of-
ficers. and I came over as requested and
found deceased lying on his face in the
back yard of 2517 Harrisburg road, nearly
dead; he died shortly afterward; 1 had
turned Jiim over on his back: I am yard-
master for the International and Great
Northern railway company at Houston."
Coroner Hill will render a verdict in the
case to-morrow.
Intermitionnl Exposition.
Houston, Tex., March 6.—Mr. Tom Rich-
ardson gave out the following self-explana-
tory telegraphic correspondence:
Omaha. Neb., March Tom Richardson,
Texas Executive Commit iceman, Houston.
Tex.: The success of the Trans-Mississippi
and International exposition to be held in
Omaha in Kis is of vital importance to the
entire. trans-Mississippi country. Every one
of the states included should extensively
participate. The project is th^ outgrowth
of resolutions adopted by the trans-Missis-
sippi congress sixteen months ago and
should have' the active, support of our or-
ganization. Hon. William J. Bryan, presi-
dent of the Trans-Mississippi congress,
should have the solid support of the execu-
tive committee that he may declare ear-
nestly in its favor. In your official capac-
ity as Texas member of the executive com-
mittee please wire Mr. Bryan within twen-
ty-four hours at Salem. 111., urging his
active support of exposition project; also
asking that he immediately use his in-
fluence with governors and legislatures to
secure proper recognition.
HENRY R. WHITMORE,
Chairman Executive Committee Trans-Alls-
sissippi Congress.
Houston. Tex., March 6.—Hon. William J.
Bryan, President Trans-Mississippi Con-
gress, Salem, 111.: Anything less than the
complete success of the Trans-Mississippi
and International exposition would mean
misfortune to Texas and the entire west.
Please intercede with governors and legis-
latures in behalf of the enterprise.
TOM RICHARDSON,
Texas Executive Committeeman,
Tom Richardson organized the Western
congress, whjch held its initial meeting at
Galveston. The congress adjourned to
meet in Denver as the Tcans-Mississippl
congress. Mr. Tom Richardson, its first
secretary, says of the project:
"The Trans-Mississippi and International
exposition at Omaha, beginning in .Janu-
ary and ending in November. 1898, will be
of more interest to that section of the
United States west of the Mississippi river
than any other exposition ever held in the
United States. It is an undertaking in
wliich the ports along the Gulf of Mexico
are especially interested, for it is expected
that all previous records regarding the ex-
hibits of western products will be sur-
passed. The peo-ple of Omaha deserve great
credit for the enterprise displayed in tak-
ing hold of this magnificent undertaking,
which was first indorsed by the Trans-Mis-
sissippi congress.
"Mr. Gus Reymershoffer of Galveston
was named by Governor Culberson as vice
president for Texas of the exposition. Mr.
Reymershoffer has given the matter a
great deal of attention, but on account or
business making it compulsory for him to
be in Europe for several months he has
sent his resignation to Governor Culber-
son. Texas has greater interest in being
represented at Omaha than she ever had
at any exposition since tfhe became a state.
The vast area of country which is directly
interested in the success of the exposition
at Omaha produces the surplus food prod-
ucts of the world, and they are grown in
the territory which is nearer the ports
along tl\e gulf coast than to deep water
elsewhere. It would truly be a misfortune
if Texas failed to make a showing."

meetings during the past week and ar-
ranged for the celebration of the twenty-
sixth volksfes-t, which will be celebrated
on tile Fourth of July. The association
has secured Coombs' park for the occasion

splendid leader, and the beneficial influ-
ences of his energy and ability are al-
ready noticeable. The new management
has decided not only to celebrate one grand
festival during the year, but will from time
to1 time provide additional amusements,
such as balls, concerts and picnics, and
thus not only invoke the more the in-
terests of the members and the public at
large but also furnish much needed amuse-
ments for the people.
As the first step in this direction, it has
been decided to give a mask ball under the
auspices of the association on Thursday,
March 2">, at Turner hall. President Reieh-
ardt has for this purpose appointed an ar-
rangement committee, composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen: C. C. Ruger. chairman;

dent, has received full power to make all
necessary arrangements and is now hard
at work to insure for tho ball a grand
suoeess. invitations will be issued in a
few days.

An Important Cime.
t Houston, Tex., March G.-The decision of
tho district court yesterday for the de-
fendant in the case of Coejiran vs. Patilla
et al, which defendants include the city
schools, is one of much importance to the
discipline of the schools. The suit was a
mandamus proceeding to require the schools
to take a pupil back who had been guilty
of a breach or discipline on the ground that
the guardian or parent was a taxpayer.
The statements showed that the boy, or
one of the two boys, was on his way home
from school when the trouble occurred. The
complainant In the case set up that the
school hadn't control of a child after it left
school. Attorney Stewart, for the city
schools, set forth that the complainant
should have applied to the superintendent
of schools, to the city school board, and
then, if necessary, to the slate school board
before he appealed to the court.
After hearing both sides of the case, the
OOiltrt refused tile mandamus, the effect of
which was to leave the matter where it
stood before. The plaintiff, however, ap-
pealed the case. ' y

Teachers* Resolutions.
Houston, Tex., March G.—The teachers of
Harris county met here to-day. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this body
that we indorse the expression of the Hous-
ton school board in regard to the uniform
text book bill now before the legislature of
Texas, Furthermore, that we feel that it
would be to the interest of educational
progress for our representatives and sena-
tors to oppose the passage of this bill.
Resolved, that having learned that there
is a movement to reduce the already small
salary of the county school superintendents
of Texas one-third of the present amount,
thus making the salary so low as to cut
off the county schools from competent su-
pervision, therefore be it
•Resolved, that we consider this unwise
and trust that such a step will not be
taken.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions
be furnished our representatives and sen-
ators.

The Lenten season has very nearly put a
quietus on all social life—at least tempor-
arily, for, while the rest given by its ob-
servance is very grateful, still there are so
many who do not observe It from a re-
ligious point of view, and even among those
who do, there are a great number always
who are so young and so full of life's en-
joyment that thoy find means of amusing
themselves in many ways that are easily
adjusted to the conscience. And who can
find fault Life is so full of Lenten sacri-
fices, that while there can scarcely be a
doubt of tho benefit, both spiritual anil
physical, of the regime presented by the
church, still one has large patience with
and sympathy for those to whom the way
of life is just opening up.

The Sheltering Arms association has com-
pleted and formally opened the home for
which Its meirJiers have been working so
hard and so faithfully for three years. The
formal opening took place last Monday af-
ternoon and the ceremony was one of the
sweetest and most beautiful ever seen in
this city. Rev. Mr. Jeffries, archdeacon of
the diocese, and Rev. 11. D. Avcs, together
with a large crowd of the friends of the In-
stitution, had a service of prayer and songs
of pralso that was as impressive as It was
beautiful. The earnest voices of the clergy,
the hearty responses of the people, the
sweet music of the old hymns so loved by
all, filled the new home ahd earnest prayer
for a blessing on the work, all made their
way Into the hearts of those who heard
them—and who can doubt that they found
their way to him who knew what It was to
have no nlace to lay his head? The home
Is almost completely furnished, and for
this the women who have built It have to
thank many of the good people of Hous-
ton, wno have given toward It. Mr. Dill-
ingham of the Dillingham furniture com-
pany, Mr. Wad dill, Mr. Chimone, M. R. B.
Latham and Mrs. Latham have all glvem
furniture. Messrs. Cortez & Bering sold
them the stone at very reasonable rates
and gave the furnishings for it. Mr. Lech-
inger gave a clock and other smaller pres-
ents have been made by many kindly per-
sons who desired to help the good cause.
Four of the six bedrooms are furnished,
and prettily furnished too, In a simple way,
of course, but they are nice enough for
anybody. in each is an Iron bedstead
painted white, with brass finishing, a bu-
reau and washstand. In one of the corners
is a small closet for hanging things and a
neat matting covers the floor. The rooms
are all as near alike as possible, so that
there shall be no heartburning nor jealousy
among their occupants, and they have all
been furnished by friend#of the institution.
Mr. W. V. R. Watson had one fitted up In
memory of his daughter, Mrs. George Price,
and Mrs. Seabrook Sydnor another In mem-
ory of her mother. Mrs. H. D. Aves fur-
nished one and Mrs. Hartwell's class In
Christ church Sunday school another. The
little girls of the class deserve high praise
for their work; it Is well done. Everything
is there that is necessary for the comfort
of its inmates, even to a. pincushion. On
the pretty splasher, on the towels and bed
linen the words "Diligent Workers" are
embroidered, and diligent workers they
must have been to accomplish so mucli.
There are two rooms still unfurnished, but
it is hoped that some who have a desire
to remember in this beautiful way a loved
one, or may desire to show gratitude for
some special blessing may supply them
with what they need.
One great object of the home is to give
shelter to women out of work and money,
and if this should meet the eye of some
voung girl who knows not where to turn
for home and shelter, she will know that
both are awaiting her, furnished by her
sisters, who desire to hek> her and all
others in her situation. The association
has $1000 in bank and owns several acres
of laruV given by "Mrs. Kate Bolts Car ring-
ton an<R Captain J. C. HutcheSon, and one
lot given by Mr. George Harmon, and they
feel that they are now able to begin their
usefulness.
Mrs. L. T. Noyes is always at home to her
friends on Monday. She has always made
the afternoons of her day very pleasant
to those who called, Last Monday quite a
largo crowd of them assembled at hen pret-
ty rooms at the Capitol hotel, knowing
that it was the last before Lent. Among
them there were several musicians, who
kindly sang for the pleasure of the rest,
and the afternoon was passed very delight-
fully.

Mrs. Edmund P. Turner received a box
of daintiest invitations from Galveston Fri-
day to be sent to the fortunate ladies who
were present at the handsome card party
she gave last month to a number of ladles
from the Island city. These ladies are to
give an oyster roast at Woollam's lake
next Thursday in honor of Mrs. Turner, to
which Mrs. Turner's guests are to be in-
vited also. For their use a special car will
be on hand, carrying to Galveston and back,
and It will no doubt be a very delightful
affair in every way. The invitations are as
prettv and dainty as can be. and are sup-
posed to be an earnest of what the roast
will be.

Mrs. O. C. Drew gave a beautiful luncheon
Friday in honor of Mrs. Albert Kelly of
Kentucky, who has been spending a few
weeks with her sister, Mrs. C. W. Bein.
Mrs. Drew's dining room is elegantly fur-
nished in Flemish oak. whose rich dark col-
or and brilliant polish bring out in beauti-
ful effect the'glittering glass, the rich sil-
ver and dainty, lacelike Mexican work of
which she has such a store. On Friday the
table wa.s simply lovely. In the center was
an Immense bowl of violets and maidenhair
fern on a square of open work, two tall
vases fillled with the same sweet flowers
were at each end. and plate cards were
hand painted with violets, for it was a vio-
lent luncheon and the delicate odor of the
reigning flower tilled the room. Such a
a wealth of violets! On the table, side-
board and buffet were great bowls of them,
some of them coming from the depths of
the forests to mix with their sweet sisters
of the town, paler and less odorous than
they, but prized for their variety. They
were piled up amid the beautiful things
that filled the sideboard and buffet, arid
showed their sweet faces among the de-
licious thlntrs that Mrs. Drew served to her
friends. These came on in seven courses
and were enjoyed by fourteen ladies who
were seated around the,handsome table.
Mrs. Kelly will no doubt carry the recol-
lection of this lovely affair back with her
to her "old Kentucky home" as one of the
pleasantest of her souvenirs of Texas.

There wa9 a pretty tea at the residence
of Mrs. George Atkinson. It was called a
carnival tea, but there was nothing wild or
reckless, such as one connects with the
idea of carnival revel in gs, but a very pleas-
ant entertainment of music, recitation and
refreshments. It was for the benefit of
Trinity mission and resulted in decided
financial help to tho mission. A pleasant
evening for an excellent object.

On Tuesday evening a small party of
friends in the Third ward, revolting against
the quiet of Mardl Gras In Houston, ar-
rayed themselves in ghostly white and hid-
ing their faces behind ghostly masks, sal-
lied forth to visit the homes of less ad-
venturous neighbors, where thay were re-
ceived with much delight. After visiting
at four or five different places they re-
turned to their starting place delighted with
themselves. And they were very fortunate
In getting back in such good time, for fi©cks
of ghosts can riot be allowed to roam our
streets with impunity. They were hardly
well in the house before a detachment of
mounted police rode up and seeing one or
two persons on the veranda asked if they
had seen £fny suspicious looking people
around the neighborhood; that they had
been telephoned for on account of a party
of maskers who were wandering around
there. The young ladles of the party shook
In their shoes, out of course they knew
nothing of anything whatever!

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Haines have re-
turned from their wedding trip and are at
Mrs. J. M. Burton's. They took in Mardl

rooms, which Mrs. Burton had made ready
for them.

The Sketch club had its first social meet-
ing Friday afternoon at the artistic home of
Mrs. Emma Richardson Cherry, where, sur-
rounded by all sorts of quaint and curious
things, they talked of one of the leading
American artists. William Chase. Miss Jon-
nie Hunter gave a sketch of his life, telling
how he came of an obscure family in Mis-
souri, of the evolution into what he Is, with
Incidents by the way. Miss Van Horn read
from the Art Interchange about Chase's art
school in the* Shltinicock hills or! Long is-
land, and Miss Cherry gave some interest-
ing facts concerning the artist himself, In
whose studio she studied for a long time.
After these pleasant talks—and there was
nothing formal about thetii—"those present"
enjoyed looking at the pictures that filled
the walls. Some of the sketches were the
work of the club, but most of them were
Mrs. Cherry's. One by William Chase, done
In fifteen minutes, but showing his charac-
teristics. wa.s especially interesting. Then
there was a movement toward the quaintest
little dining room imaginable, where a de-
licious cup of tea was served, flavored with
the odor of violets that were in artistic pro-
fusion on the table, that held the tea kettle
and the dainty porcelain. Tea made and
drunk in such artistic atmosphere is bound
to have the effect of raising one's spirits
and attuning the mind to the harmonies of
color about them; and the talk of art and
beautiful scenery and all that sort of thing
was a natural and easy accompaniment to
the hissing of the water in the pretty tea
kettle and the tinkling of the spoon In the
cup. It if) earnestly hoped the Sketch club
will have many such pleasant afternoons in
store for themselves and their friends.

Mrs. W. B. Groseclose gave a theater par-
ty Friday evening in honor of Mrs. Howard
Smith's two guests, Miss Gillian Brown and
MLss J-luston. The box was taken far the
Grau opera company's rendering of "The
Bohemian Girl," and after enjoying the fa-
miliar and sweet music of the opera the par-
ty went to Mrs. Howard Smith's where a
very enticing supper was ready for their re-
frcshmt lit. The quiet, and subdued tones
that pervade the drawing room and library
at Mrs. Smith's pretty home were an effect-
ive prelude to the brilliant scheme of color
that tilled the dining room. The table, with
ils rich tones of red and green, brilliantly
lighted, made an effective picture as the
folding doors were opened, and there was
even a Christmassy sort of effect that
caught the eye at once. In the (Tnter of
the table was a tall vnse filled with deep red
carnations, around which and toward each
end were wreaths of smilax gracefully laid,
in and out among the bowls of bright cher-
ries and green olives. Heavy silver candel-
abra held red and green candles, and red
shades wetv over the chandelier and lamps
that gav ' light to the room. On the mantel
was a vase of red salvia and cannas, adding
to tlie vivid coloring, that was even extend-
< d to the refreshments. The ire was frozen
into ruddy apples, and was served on fresh
green leaves. In every detail the coloring
was carefully and artistically carried out
and gave a brightness and life to the whole
evening. The personnel of the party in-
cluded Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Groseclose, Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Smith, Miss Huston. Miss
Gillian Brown, Miss Hoot, Miss Cora Hoot,
Mr. R. B. Latham, Mr. I lines Klrkland, Mr.
Spencer Hutch ins. Mr. Clifton Drew. Mr.

Paine's Celery Compound Clears the
Way to Perfect Health.

"Only a little Indigestion; nothing seri-
ous."
You will sometimes hear people say that,
or something to the same effect, but they
are blessed with good stomachs. They do
not know from experience what a frightful
thing indigestion is.- To a dyspeptic tho
phrase "only a little indigestion" is like
saying "only a little consumption" or "only
a little heart disease."
Southern women will be interested to
know that Mrs. A. Young of Alliance, Neb.,
was fortunate enough to find a. cure for
those disorders of the stomach which are re-
sponsible for more than half of the diseases
that humanity suffers from. She says:
"I am very much pleased with what
Paine's celery compound has done for me.
I have been troubled with indigestion for
several years, and all other remedies failed
to give me relief. My face started to break
out in pimples: I was thin and could eat
scarcely anything that would agree with
me. But since taking Paine's celery com-
pound I have gained ten pounds In weight,
feel very much better and am still gaining
in health. The us»e of the compound was
very satisfactory to me, and I would highly
recommend it to others."
The pimples on Mrs. Young's face were
caused by indigestion. Food fermented in
the stomach and polluted the blood. She
grew thin because even the little she ate
was not turned into flesh.
Now see what that wonderful remedy,
Paine's celery compound, did for her. It
toned and strengthened the nerves of tho
stomach. It sharpened tho appetite and
cleared the skin of blemishes. Of course,
when Mrs. Young began to relish her food
and to digest It, with the help of Paine's
celery compound, j?he gained weight. She
has not thought it necessary to describe all
the signs of Indigestion. They are suf-
ficiently known—the headache, coated
tongue, dizziness, morning cough, sense of
weight and distension after eating.
The whole legion of dyspepsia s demons
are put to Might by Paine's celery com-
pound, and when they are once driven away
they never come back. That is one of the
strongest arguments in favor of the com-
pound; its good work lasts. Plenty of rem-
edies make the patient feel better for a
time, but Paine's celery compound roots
out dyspepsia forever from the system, as
it destroys neuralgia, rheumatism and other
nerve diseases.
Is if a wonder that Mrs. Young recom-
mends the compound to her friends?
and organize clubs of their own, so that
they can at least keep in sight of the
women.

The appearance of Clarence Eddy, Amer-
ica's greatest organist, In a recital at the
First Presbyterian church of Houston the
evening of Monday, March 22, is certain to
prove an event of high musical importance,
as it will bring to the city a player who
stands second to none in the world as re-
gards technique and Interpretation. Gull-
mant and Eddy are said to Ive the gr< atest
of modern technicians. And as technique
is becoming more indispensable in organ-
ists, together with clearness of interpreta-
tion, pure tone and perfection of style,
Eddy's recital in this city will possess a
peculiar Interest. Before leaving for the
west Mr. Eddy appeared as soloist with the
Thomas orchestra at Chicago in two con-
certs, and on both occasions scored a tre-
mendous succeis". He played several new
compositions with orchestral accompani-
ment, which were thoroughly enjoyed by
the large audiences present. The recital
to be given in this city will Include a choice
programme containing many of the novel-
ties which Mr. Eddy brought with him
from Europe and which are heard in
Arncrica for the fir.it time in this tour.
Since arriving in America last October Mr.
Eddy has already played in many cities
between New York and San Francisco. A
large audience is certain to be In attend-
ance on thie evening of the concert.
