The Bankers' Convention.
The fourth annual convention of the
Texas State Bankers' association will com-
mence a three days' session in this city to-
morrow. From indications it promises to
be- the best attended convention that this
association has yet had.
The programme of the entertainment to
be accorded the visitors while in the city
may be briefly outlined as follows: To-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock the visitors
will be welcomed to the city by Colonel W.
B. Denson, the address of welome to be de-
livered at Harmony hall, to, which the public

cursion to the jetty works.

day is disposed of, the bankers will be enter-
tained at the Garten Yerein with refresh-
ments, dancing and an excellent concert by

ment of the convention, the visitors will be
entertained with a grand ball at Harmonv
hall.
Some very interesting papers
read during the convention.

HEAVIEST RAIN ON RECORD.
Yc-sterday's Rainfall the Greatest Ever
Occurring- in Galveston of Which
Any Record Has Been Kept.
The heaviest rainfall that has ever oc-
curred in Galveston, or at least since the
keeping of a record in 187 J. was the rainfall
of yesterday, which registered, from 2 a. in.
up to 7 p. 111., (>.40 inches, which is consider-
ably more than the average monthly rain-
fall for this city. While this was by far the
heaviest rain in the slate, advices received
fjt the signal service office showed that the
rain Tall \v,».s quite general throughout the
s;; t •. the heaviest being registered in east
Te.vd.4. The following record of yesterday's
rain shows its volume at different points
and its g -.ieral diffusion throughout the
state: Or !J)gv inehes, Houston 2.71
inch;.-, t'-.-nr Lrkv S inches, San Antonio
.(>',) inches. Waco .70 inches, Palestine
.84 inches, Ilearne .80 inches, be-
sides more or less rain at various
intermediate points, givingan average rain-
fall to the state of l.( S inches. The very
excessive ram in this city filled up the low
places, some of t lie streets for a distance of
several blocks being a continuous sheet of
water, averaging from six inches to a foot
and half in depth. The city was never b»j-
f" so thoroughly inundated with rain-
v r. The spectacle was so unusual that
' 'any, owing to the heavy wind that was
wi \ concluded that the water must
i -en blown in from the gulf. But
•h was not the case. While the strong
'least wind caused an unusually high
le in the gulf, no water was brought
:n this source over the city, the
.< uperfluity of supply coming alto-
j . lier from the clouds. The maximum
\ L'iocity of the wind was 54 miles an hour
from tfie southeast between 11 o'clock a. m.
and noon. The average velocity during the
day was 35 miles an hour, the prevailing
direction being from the southeast. About
sundown the wind shifted to the southwest,
thence back to the south, showing that the
storm center had passed. This was further
borne out by a dispatch received by the sig-
nal service oflice from Washington at 9.40 a.
111., which announced the following indica-
tion for Galveston:
"The storm center will be to the south-
westward. Expect an increasing easterly
wind for a short time, followed by a calm,
then shifting to the southwest."
In many localities the city presented a
veritable Venice-like appearance during the
afternoon, and many citizens availed them-
selves of the opportunity of witnessing the
unusuat sight from the windows of street
"cars which plowed through the water-cov-
ered street* appearing in the distance like
awkwardly fashioned gondolas.

GIDDINGS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A News Correspondent Witnesses the Closing
Exercises and Is Very Well Pleased.
Giddings. Tex., June 17.—The commence-
ment exercises of the common schools have
just closed very creditably to all the teach-
ers, Professor It. D. McClellan being prin-
walker, who lias just arrived from Europe, i cipal of tho schools, with the following
will give six of his marvelous performances
at George, Staten island, beginning Sat-
urday afternoon, June 23. The chevalier is
now sixty-four years of age, and says he is
as young' and active as when he crossed on a
rojie suspended over Niagara falls in 185'J.
Hallen & Ilart closed their season last
Saturday night at Niblo's, and withdrew
from the variety business; Miss Hart (Mrs.
Hallen) retiring permanently from the
stage. Mr. Hallen has associated himself
with Mr. Joe Hart, and will present next
season a new musical farce comedy entitled
Later On, by H. Grattin Donnelly, author
of Natural Gas. The enterprise will be un-
der tlie"personal management of Mr. Harry
Iline, who has for seveaal years been con-
nected with Roland Heed and Harry Miner's
successes.
Mr. Lawrence Barrett, has given to the
Players' club a painting of George Frederick
Cooke, by Sully. This painting was a be-
quest to Mr. Barrett from the Taylor estate
of Kentucky. Mr. Barrett has also pre-
sented to t he club the famous engraving by
Consene of the Chaudos Shakespeare," the
only one in existence as tho original stone
was destroyed. He has also given to the
club all his theatrical library, a collection
of years; the jewel worn by Edmund Kean
in Richard III, presented to him by Henry
Irving, and some personal trinkets of Ma-
cauloy's and other pictures and engravings
of interest to theatrical people.
Miss Mattie Earle, leading lady with Rob-
ert Downing, is thoroughly convinced that
America is turning her attention to tho
drama. She is in daily receipt of letters
from every section of the country offering
her plays, and if they don't fit to take her
measure for what she wants. Some six
weeks since it was stated in the New York
papers that Miss Earle was on the lookout
for a play in which to star next season.
Since that time she has been inundated with
letters from full-fledged and unfledged
dramatists. Her agent is listening to the
reading of plays at the rate of about four a
week, and lie has as yet shown no signs of
mental decay. He says that several of the
plays are admirable.

A oat.i.ant was lately sitting beside his
beloved, and being tinaiOe to think of any-
thing else to say, asked her why she Was like
a tailor?
"I don't know," said she, with pouting
lip, "unless it is because I'm sitting beside a
goose."
An excellent reply, and a well deserved re-
proof. The time could have been much bet-
ter occupied. This lady was in perfect
health and spirits, for she had learned the
merits of Moeller's Berliner Tonic, and
therefore was equal to all emergencies.

corps of teachers: Mrs. McClellan, Miss
Rachel Harris, Miss Jennie Scarry and
Professor Kruger (white), Professor John
Iiickey havingcharge of the colored schools.
Mrs.'.MeClellan's room was examined first.
Her scholars acquitted themselves hand-
somely,and as an evidence of the teacher's ef-
ficiency the following pupils, on their writ-
| ten examination, were passed to the highest
room (Professor McCiellan's), to wit; Estha
Campbell, Ilarry Knox, Minnie Bloomberg,
Mina Gene Sinks, Louise Cabaniss, Shelby
Willard, James Brown and Robert Kuyken-
dall; and as an evidence of how kind she has
been to her children and the love they bear
for her, a beautiful wall-pocket and other
serviceable presents were presented toiler
by the class.
Miss Louise Cabaniss made the presenta-
tion speech, which was as follows, in lier
own words: "Please accept, clear teacher,
these little presents given by our class as a
slight token of our love and the apprecia-
tion we feel for your faithfulness while we
were under your care, and while we will
pass next session into a higher grade, no
change of time or place will ever efface "our
loved teacher from our memory." After a
few kindly and motherly remarks in reply
by Mr:i. McClellan t he exercises of this room
were closed.
Miss Jennie Scurry's room was next ex-
amined. The work was good in all of the
branches of study in this room, each child
doiii;j its part well, the teacher having them
well in hand. Some presents were given;,
among them was a handsome volume of
The Heroines of the Crusades. This vol-
ume was presented for the class by Miss
Maud Fields, too small to make a speech,
but bright and happy smiles suffused her
little face when she handed the presents to
Miss Jennie. This wound up to a close
Miss Scurry's class.
Mij,s Rachel Harris' class was next in or-
der. All of the pupils of this room did ex-
ceedingly well, snowing that they had lost
no time in mastering the studies of their
room, and as a proof of the good work done,
the following named scholars were promoted
to tho highest room (Prof. McCiellan's) on
written examination: Mamie Burns, Annie
Pat ton Nannie Moore, Sigmond Sass and
Oscar Schubert, and as a token of love and
esteem of the class for Miss Rachel Harris,
a beautiful toilet set and other presents
were given. Miss Mamie Burns made the
speech oil presenting them, and said: "Dear
teacher, the pleasant duty lifts been assigned
me by my schoolmates of presenting you
this small token of our love and esteem,
offered as an affectionate tribute to
your untiring and ever loving labors
in our behalf." To-day as we are assembled
together at tho close of another session wo
look back over the days we have spent to-
gether in which we have met and overcome
many difficulties; days in which by your
gentle patience and loving kindness you
have rendersiil yourself dear to us all, and
while wo hail with pleasure the coming va-
cation, yet it is with some sadness we bid
farewell to school and your gentle influence.
When in future years you look upon this
memento let it be a pleasant token of the
deepest lovo and fidelity of our young
hearts."
A very appropriate reply was made by
Miss Rachel, and thus ended the interest-
ing examination of this room.
Next for examination came Professor Mc-
Ciellan's room, which was a real intellect-
ual treat in that the exercises showed that
both teacher and students did their
whole duty through the whole
term. The professor was present-
ed with a beautiful student's lamp. Pro-
fessor Kurger came last with his German,
and to have heard the examination of this
class ono would have thought he was iu
Germany, where German is the native lan-
guage, "The professor received a number
of presents from his class. This ended the
examination of the white common schools
of Giddiugs.
The examination of the white schools
having taken up Monday, Tuesday,Wednes-
day and Thursday, Friday was devoted to
the colored schools. The children did ex-
ceptionally well, and showed a proficiency
hardly to be expected of them. The exam-
inations showed that Professor Hickey had
performed his whole duty, and the children
did well their part.
It is to be hoped that the colored citizens
will not lwlt in this good work.

AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME.
In another column will bo found an ad-
vertisement offering two ranches in McMul-
len county for sale, one of 25,000 acres, the
other of 12,000 acres, with 4500-head of mixed
cattle.
The ranches join each other and are wa-
tered by tho Nueces river, which runs
through' both of them, and by never failing
lakes. They are inclosed by substantial
three-wire (barbed) fences, and have all
needed ranch improvements. The grass is
good curly mesquite, and the cattle are in
excellent condition. There are a good
sprinkling of beeves, and no old cows in the
stock.
The ranches are within 35 miles of Co-
tulla, a station on the International and
Great Northern railway, and the county seat
of La Salie county.
There is no more desirable ranch property
in Texas than this, and a most decided bar-
gain will be offered an early applicant.
' For prices, terms and further particulars
apply at once to F. F. Chew,
Attornc-y-at-Law, Prince building,
Houston, Texas.

CLINGING TO THE LAST.
The virus of rheumatism often remains in the
system through life, when it does not cut the
thread of existence suddenly, as it is always lia-
ble to do by attacking the heart. Ere tho grip
of this tenacious disease tightens, it should be
unloosed by that beneficent liberator from dis-
ease, ITostettcr's Stomach Bitters, which will
free tho sufferer at tho outset from subsequent
pain and danger. No purer or more agreeable
blood depurent exists, as multitudes of the
rheumatic and neuralgic have ascertained by
certified experience. It is through tho medium
of a regular action of the kidneys and bladder
that an outlet is afforded for the escape of im-
purities which beget not only rheumatic, but
gouty ailments and dropsical effusions. To these
organs the Bitters give an impulse, never verg-
ing on the bounds of irritation, but sufficiently
vigorous to cause them and the bowels to per-
form their functions with clock-like precision.
Use it also for dyspepsia, biliousness, fever and
ague and debility.
