Differing in Every Respect.
Dr. Price's Delicious Flavoring Extracts differ in
every respect from all others. They are more
uniform, more economical, because it requires but
a small Quantity to impart the desired flavor.
They are true to nature, as they are made from
the fruit. Their flavor is most delicate and pleas-
ing to the taste. They are not the cheapest but
they are the best. Try Dr. Price's Vanilla, Lemon,
or Orange Extract and we guarantee that they will
prove to be all that could be desired by connois-
seurs, viz.: perfection.
TRIAL ORDERS.
Those of the Texas trade who
have not been in the habit
of buying from us are re-
quested to favor us with a
trial order for Groceries.
This will enable them to com-
pare prices and goods with
order placed elsewhere, and
we assure them that they will
be placed at no disadvantage.
We fill orders to advantage for
any point in the State of Texas.

HOUSTON, TEX.
WENT TO JOIN HER LOVEE.
A San Antonio Miss Causes a Sensation.
Fall of the Bastile.
San Antonio, Tex., July 14.—The beautiful
and accomplished 16-year-old daughter of a
well known citizen disappeared from home at
noon yesterday, and upon investigation it was
found that she had left on the 1.20 p. m. train
for Houston to join a young man whom sho
was engaged to marry. The young man was
formerly of this city, and while here became
acquainted with the young lady, but the
parents of the girl sternly refused to permit
him to pay her his rospects. The young man
went to Houston three months ago and tho
young lady attempted to join him there a few
weeks later, but was captured at the depot
here by her father. She was more successful
yesterday. Her father left for Houston last
night, hoping to prevent the marriage.
The anniversary of the storming of tho bas-
tile was celebrated here in a becoming man-
ner by the society of French workmen to the
number of several hundred, who enjoyed
themselves in open air festivities at Riverside
park.
To-night the Corclo Francaise gave a grand
ball at Mission garden.
Win. Hiley, a saloon keeper, was arrested
hero this morning upon the charge of arson,
it being alleged that he set fire to his saloon,
which was partially destroyed by fire at 2
o'clock this morning. Ho was roleasod on
$1000 bond.
A petition ia being circulated for the pardon
of Will Smith, tho 16-year-old boy who was
convicted of embezzlement under $20 at this
place in January of 1890 and sent to the state
reformatory. The boy was clerk for a ticket
broker and kept some funds intrusted to his
care. Ho has a widowed mother and it is be-
lieved that he will be better off to be returned
to her than to continue longer in tho state in-
stitution. Judge GeorgoH. Noonan, District
Attorney George Paschal, Ed Dwyer and E.
Grif Jones are among the signers of tho peti-
tion, which is being circulated by the latter
gentleman.

CONGRESS IS INDUSTRIOUS
TRYING TO REACH THE END OF THE
SESSION.
Have Congressmen a Eight to Pay for
Time in Which They Are Away
Working for Themselves?
ABSOUtfEElX VURB
Washington, July 14.—[Special.]—Tho
house did a great deal of business
to-day and seems anxious to get
through work. It passed three ap-
propriation bills and is now where it can see
light through the woods. There is still a big
crowd of congressmen here, but they show an
anxiety and this breeds nervousness. In two
or three days many are expected to leave in
order to get homo to look after their political
fences. It is remarkable, but nine out of
every ten of them think their fences
are sadly out of repairs. This
applies to democrats and republicans
alike. The senate got through with the sundry
civil bill to-day, carrying with it the $6,000,000
appropriation to tho world's fair. This bill
will come to tho house to-morrow, but it is
doubtful if the appropriation committee to
which it will bo referred will report it back ut
once for the reason that Mr. Holmau, the
chairman of that committee, is not at all fa-
vorable to this amendment niado in the senate.
There are a number of representatives de-
termined to filibuster against this Item when
it comes ia and it will require a quorum nny-
how to pass it, Usually in tho case of tho sun-
dry civil bill the houso refuses to ngree to tho
senate amendments and a conference is had
with tho result of a compromise. This is gen-
erally dono without debate, but on this occa-
sion there is sure to be a number of speeches
made. Mcmbors who are absent wili probably
be recalled to make a quorum if the fight gets
warm. They may prolong the session longer,
till at least after tho first.
The senate voted down the amendment for
bidding the use of liquor on the exposition
grounds.
Judge King of San Antonio is hero. This
evening he was taken by Congressman Cul-
berson and introduced to Attorney General
Garland. Judge King is accompanied by
Judge Greer of Memphis. The three had a
consultation in regard to getting out a writ of
error to bring the celebrated case of Colonel
King ot Memphis to the supreme court. Judge
King of San Antonio is a relative of Colonel
King of Memphis. Tho onse is widely known.
Colonel King is one of tho most prominent
lawyers and men in Tennessee, and he killed
another lawyer named 1'oston, and was sen-
tenced to be hanged on the 14th of next month.
Congressman Stewart made a report from
the river and harbor committee on Congress-
man Abbott's bill to permit a company in
Dallas to improve the Trinity river. The re-
port was favorable, with the amendment that
no tolls should be cahrged till the company
secured water three feet deop from Buffalo te
Dallas.
A few days ago Congressman Bailey went
to the sergeant-at-arms and t-;.M him that un-
der hris (iiailey's) view of the situation a mem-
ber who was absent from his place ought nut
to draw his salary. He (Bailey) had been
away one day making a speech over in Vir-
ginia, and he did not think he should take the
salary for thnt day. He therefore asked tho
sergeant-at-arms to deduct the amount from
his salary when it became due. The matter
g^t out in some way, and it has created much
comment. 1 called on Mr. Bailey to-duy, who
said:
"Members and senators aro entitled to re-
ceive for their services $416 06 per mouth, and
section 40, chapter 4, provides that tho secre-
tary of the senate and the sergeant-at-arms of
tho house, respectively, shall deduct from the
monthly payments of each member and dele-
gate the amount of his salary for each day
that he has been absent from the senate or
house, respectively, unless such member or
delegate assigns as a reason for such absence
the sickness of himself or BOine mem-
ber of his family. To mo the plain
interpretation of this law ia that
eaoh senator and member of the house ought
to bo paid for each month $116 66, less an
amount equal to his salary for the day or
days which he shall have been absent, except
where his absence ia on account of the sick-
ness of himself or his family. This not only
seems to bo tho meaning of tb« law, but its
propriety and its justice appears to me to be
above dispute. If a public servant Is sick or
any member of his family is sick ho may
properly be excused without forfeiting his
salary, but no man ought to be permitted to
tako the salary of a public oflice while he is
giving his time and attention to his private
business. One man has drawn over $7000 as a
member of the Fifty-second congress, und yet
he haB attendod its sessions but threo times,
and one of these times was lo vote against the
resolution fixing a day to consider the silver
bill. Another member has for some tune
been a railroad commissioner in ono of the
great states of this union at a salary of $10,-
000, and yet he has been drawing his pay as a
member of congress, though he has not been
in Washington thirty days during our seven
months' session. These are raro cases, but
there are others almost as bad, and
it would fleem it was about time
that something should bo done to correct
a system undor which such gross abuses are
possible. The story of the law fixing tho com-
pensation of members of congress is an inter-
esting one. From the organization of con-
gress to 1816 members wore paid per diem.
Tho first law establishing a per annum com-
pensation waB passed in 1816, and though it
fixed the salary at only $1500 the people woro
bo indignant over its passage that it was
repealed at tho next session. Tho compensa-
tion was then fixed at $8 per day and mileage.
It continued that way until 1856. Then the
law was changed to n per annum sulary of
the amount fixed at $."5000 and mileage. The
bill originated in the senate, und one of tho
strongest arguments in favor of the change
was that members of congress wore prolong-
ing its sessions in order to increase their per
diem. It was promptly and properly Re-
plied tlmt a member who would pro-
long the sossions of congress in ordor
to increaso his pay would not
attend its sessions ut all if Ins salary should be
made annual. It was also contested that
when congress was in session members who
neglected their duties ought not to be paid a
salary for sorvices which they do not perform.
To meet these arguments the section which I
quotod above was inserted by tho house as an
amendment to tho senate bill, but even with
this improvement tho bill only passed the
house by a majority of one, tho vote stand-
ing 100 for it and ninety-nine against
it. Tho provision as to the doduotion
of a membor's pay for his absence was
strictly enforced up to the war and when a
member applied for his pay ho was required
by the sergeant-at-arms to state upon his
honor how many days ho had been absent,
except for sickness. It seems to mo that if
Jefferson Davis, Stophen A. Douglas, John C.
Breckenridge, William Seward, Robert
Toombs, Alexander Stevens, Charles Sum-
ner and men of that quality
were required to draw no pay for
the days on which thoy were absent when their
salary was $3000, 6uch men as I am, the law
being the same, ought to be permitted to re-
fuse it, our salary being $5000, without incur-
ring tho censure of even tlioso people who
think that a law maker is under no obligation
to observe the law. I do not intend to criti-
cise members of congress who tako this sal-
ary. Certainly, if they think they nro entitled
to it they ought to tako it, but it is just as
certain that a man who does not think lie is
entitled ought not take it."

Against Bodies of Arniml Men.
Washington, July 14.—In the house to-day
Representative Scott of Illinois introduced

Complaints Aguhiht the Army.
Washington, July 14.—Bitter complaints
have been received by tho Idahosonators from

d'Alene region respecting the conduct of tho
military forces in tho district. They say the
troops held a point twelve miles distant from
the 6c0110 of rioting until the best part of tho
property had been destroyed. A number of
non-union men holpless and unarinod were
killed and tho remainder driven from the
mills out of the country directly past tho sol.
diers, who were sent to protect them. The

Sehoheld instruct General ( arlin to surround

REFUSIKG TO TELL,
Tho Interstate Commerce Commission Af-
ter the Hinois Steel Company.
Chicago, ill., July 14,—[Spccial.J—Before
tho interstate commerce commissioners, who
nro investigating tho various railroads cen-
tered here, had fairly settled in thoir seats to-
day a conflict occurred and tho commissioners
decidod to bring tho Illinois steel company to
its knees by prompt action.
At yesterday's inquiry, President Brimson
of tho fivo small roads which are alleged to be
owned by the Illinois steel company, declined
to Btate by whom tho stock of the lines of
which he is president is held. He also refused
to stato if tho Illinois stool company had any
of the stock of the roads. In tum, Secretary
Keefe and Vice President Sterling, under tho
advice of counsel, also refused to answer the
question.
When the commission met this morning
Chairman Veasey addressed Vice President
Sterling:
"Mr. Sterling, this commission asks you to
produeo the stock books of tho Illinois steel
company."
Before Mr. Sterling could roply Attorney
A\ ithrow, representing tho lioek Island road,
jumped to his feet with an objection. "That
is an unusual demand," ho said, "becauso it
is customary with all large corporations not
to allow its private books of accounts to bo
inspected."
"Then you refuse to allow us to examine the
book?" inquired the chairman, in a voico
which indicated that a refusal would be fol-
lowed by a stronger demand. There was a
hasty scramble among the coterie of lawyers
tor a conference, after which Mr. Withrow
Btnted that it would be unwise for the steel
company to consent to an inspection of it3
books.
"Then I wili BUbpcnna you, Mr. Sterling, to
produce tho stock books of the company,"
said tho commissioner shortly.
T his announcement produced a panic
among the lawyers. Lyman Trumbull en-
deavored to compromise by saying that if the
commission wouid indicate what it expectcd
to learn from the books they might bo pro-
duced. This remark was lost on the chair-
man, and he added to tho score by also sum-
moning Secretary and Auditor Keefe of tho
five roads to produce the stock books of the
road. A comparison between them aud tlioso
of the Illinois steel company might result in
something interesting. District Attorney Mil-
Christ himself superintended the drawing up
of tho subpoenas. They directed tho two offi-
cers namod by order of the interstate com-
merce commission under the act of congress
creating the interstate law to produce the
books called for. The subpoena was placed in
tho hands of United States Marshal Cruse.
One of Vice President Sterling's represen-
tatives states that in tho matter of the order
to produce the books Mr. Sterling has no au-
thority in the abeneo of the executive commit-
tee of the company to produeo tho books. Ho
will endeavor to get the executive committee
together and from them secure the authority
to bring the books in. Mr. Sterling will ac-
cept service of tho subpoanu, however.

posed.
He was a member of the law firm of Messrs.

reavemont is that of a grief stricken brother.

gloom and sorrow.

mis, R. L. Pollard, W. U. Chew, A. M. Gar-
nett, Dr. D. F. Stuart, S. Fallifero and James
A. liaker, jr., who are requested to meet at the
Capitol hotel at 6.30 o'clock on Saturday
morning to tako hacks to the depot to receive

A WIDE RIVER OF FIRE.
IK0ANDESGE3JT ROCKS HURLED HIGH
INTO THE AIR,
A Bciine Such as Is Witnessed Ones in
Ages—.Etna's Lava ^Streams Pour
Down the Mountain Side,
Rome, July 14.—The eruption of Mount
/Etna is rapidly increasing in violence. Im-
mouse streams of lava are pouring down tho
mountain Hide and it appears certain that
several villages and a number of buildings
will bo destroyed. All tho craters are active.
Ono is ejecting a continuous stream of lava
very wide. The stream presonts tho appear-
ance of a river of fire and is very beautiful to
look at, though it is bound to ruin much
property. Another of tho craters is hurling
largo incandescent rocki to an immense
height, while the edges of a third crater
threaten to crumble.
Two Majority.
London, July 14.—Tip to4:55 o'clock this af-
ternoon, tho total returns received show tho
election of 1M(> conservatives, 226 liberals, 50
anti-ParnollitoB, HO liberal unionists, 8 Parnel-
lites and .'» laboritos; total 285 government,
2b7opposition.
Considerable interest has been manifested
in returns from Ireland. In tho south di-
vision of Longford Hon. Edward Blake, who
caino from Canada ou tho invitation of anti-
Parnellite electors of that district to oppose
the conservative candidate, was successful,
carrying the district by a majority of 211)7. It
is expected Make, with his wide knowledge of
tho workings of homo rulo in Canada, will
prove an invaluable ally to Gladstone.
In tho north division county Louth, Tim-
othy llealy, who always has been elected to
represent the north division of Wexford, was
again successful. llealy is ono of the most
bitter opponents of the I'arnollites.
In the west division of Wicklow J. II, Par-
noil, brother of Chas. Stewart i'arnell, stood
tho interest of the Parnellites. Jlo stood at
tho foot of tho poll.
John Dillon, anti-Parnellito candidate, has
been elected in the east division of Mayo,
Among t he candidates whoso defeat is an-
nounced to-day is Henry Harrison, who visited
the United States iu the interest of the Par-
nell section of tho Irish parliamentary party.
Gladstone has gone to Brae mar, where he
will remain for a week's rest after the fatigue
of the Midlothian campaign.
I-ah>st of the Parliamentary Elections.
London, July 14.—To-day's results havo
not quito realized liberal expectations, but
they aro considered as confirming the steady
How of gains. When tho actual numbor
of liboral members returned first
overtopped tho conservatives, the na-
tional liberal clubmen indulged in
prolonged jubilations. Henceforth Mr. Glad-
stone's total will be in tho ascendant. Con-
servatives admit that the rural vote is against
them. The St. James Gazette angrily says
something like rot has set in among the agri-
culturists.
Mr. Hurkmeyer of Ayrburgh, elected to-day
ou tho Gladstone tiekot, is a pronounced la-
boriat and will probably join the Burns fac-
tion. Tho liberal leaders care little for
menaced opposition of independent iabonsts.
Keturns at midnight showed that the con-
servatives have 248 members, liberals 282, Mc-
Carthyites 51, liberal unionists oil, Parnellites
7 and luborists Ministerial total, 287; Glad-
stonian total, 293.
The Presii on the Midlothian Election.
London, July 14.—[Special.]—-Tho Daily
News iu an editorial article on the result in
Midlothian says: "The tones will naturally
mako much of the reduction of Mr. Glad-
stone's majority. It is a striking phenome-
non, account for it how we may." Tho articlo
concludes: "Although this is the first time
that home-rule has come boforo tho Midlo-
thian electors, there having been no contest in
1880, it was disestablishment that did tho mis-
chief. Colonel Wasehope fought like a gen-
tleman. If Mr. Gladstone requires consoling
he niRy reflect that Mr. Balfour in Manchester
would have been very glad of his majority in
Midlothian."
The Chronicle says: "Tho reduction of Mr.
Gladstone's majority is almost eccentric. It
is partly due to tho unsparing, unceasing in-
fluence of the kirk, to which much must be
added to tho power of landlordism. But al-
lowing all possible reductions, wo still arrivo
at tho conclusion that mero Gladstomanism
as a symbol of personal faith, rather than po-
litical faith, is wanting in England and Scot-
land. Mr. Gladstone must move with the
spirit of the ago und chooso his ministry, not
from tho select porsonal circles, but from
nmong men shaped to the now aspirations of
democracy.
The Chronicle concludes its article with an
invitation to Mr. Chainberlin to return to his
allegiance to Mr. Gladstone and endeavor to
arrive at a solution of the Irish problem.
The Standard says: "The reduction of Mr.
Gladstone's majority spoafce volumes for tho
status of his party in Scotland. To whatever
causes it may bo attributed his supporters
must stand aghast at their miscalculations
which represented Coioiiol Waschono as the
mere point of a handful of Scotch torists.
His son Herbert suffered a similar rebut!-. Tho
sooner ho learns the moral the bettor. The
revolt in Midlothian ia solar tho most con-
spicuous event of the present elect inn."
Tho Daily Ifews, printed in Edinburg, says:
"Tho Scotch, party naturally is reasonably
elated and believes that the effect of the Mid-
lothian contest will be to indefinitely postpono
the crusado ugainst the established church, i
The heavy poll, equal to 81 per cent of tho
register, testifies to tho assiduity of tho agents
of both sides. I am informed that tho con- I
sorvatives have alroady decided to contest the I
seat when Mr. Gladstone offers himself for re- I
election. They do not expoct to win, but tho
contest will be a good beginning of the syw- I
tem of worry which is counted upon to wear j
Mr. Giadstono out before he accomplishes his t
iife's work. Tho necessary funds for a new
contest have been promised over and over
again and before a month has expirod Midlo-
thian will be again iu tiie throes of an elec-
tion contest."
