THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1891.
TO-DAY AT MORRIS PARK
THREE LABGE PUSSES WITH FAST
HORSES RUNNING.
The Reoord Broken at Rope Skipping by
Galveston Man—Racing Events
and Ball Gaines.
We arc in the midst of tho excitement of the
p.entcst racing of the season. Hardly bad we
recovered from tho surprise occasioned by
Loautoka winning the suburban, when Marcus
Daly jumps in and wins the great eclipse
stakes with his 2-year-old Tammany. I hen
comes the fall of Tenny, with a dull thud of
ten lengths, closely followed by Mr. Daly
again bobbing up with Sir Matthew and cap-
turing Hie junior champion.
Nor have the surprises been confined to
around New York. At Saratoga, the seem-
ingly, at one time, invincible Eon, the pride
of the D wye re, and the horse they sent to the
city of mineral waters to carry away all the
stake events, is beaten not only once, but sev-
eral times, and by horses such as Santiago and
Kincesem. Then Van Buven, at Chicago, does
wonders, lowers rocord after record with ap-
parent ease, and not even being pushed to
show what he could do if called on; and last,
but not least, comes Virgo d'Or at St. Paul,
who runs a mile on a circular track, with 117
pounds up, in 1.39, and it was not a fast track
either.
If these surprises and record-breakings keej:
up the remainder of the season, this will not
only be noted as tho year of the largest purses
on record, but will establish some records of
time that will come as near the best record
that can be attained by the Hying machines as
it seems possible.
To^iay at Morris Park there are threo good
stake events, one for 2-year-olds, the August
stakes, three-quarters of a mile, one for all
Ages, the Rahway handicap, one mile, and one
for H-year-olds, the West hnd hotel stakes, one
and one-half miles.
In the August stakes the probable starters
Are the Dwyer entry. Airshaft and Airplant;
the Keene entry. Alonzo nnd Cokena filly,
Necromancy. Patrimony colt, Kilkenny, Fair
Play, Sir Arthur, Fremont aud Umatilla. All
of these coits have ran well in races before
tnis season. Out of the lot the Dwyer entry
geem to have the best chance of winning.
Airplant. with Hamilton up, looks ltke a good
thing. He is a good, true colt and will run
whenver called on to do so, and has
ran some very game races. From the showing
made by the Patrimony colt in the junior
champion, he nhould also be well up at tho
finish and should run as good as second any-
way. Fremont and the Necromancy colt
should also be close up, but they seem to bo
slightly outclassed.
For the Hah way handicap, English Lady,
Charley Post, Judge Post, Unagrande, Cas-
talia. Banquet, Laceland and Territle are
elected to start. Of these horses Banquet
looks like the most possible winner, with the
best of the McLcwee entry second.
The starters in the West End hotel stakes
are Shipmate. Ambulance, Reckon, Kildeer
And Pagan. If Bergen has the mount on Kil
doer he should run well, but this is a very
open race. None of the horses have ever gone
this distance, and while they have ran
well up to one and one-quarter miles
the last quarter may prove too much
for some of them, but with Bergen
in the saddle on Kildeer, he will nurse
his horse with more care than tho others and
should win, but with any one but Bergen up,
we would not bnck this horse. Shipmate has
never ran in tho east. Ho ran well at Lexing-
ton and kept his good form at the Washington
park meeting at Chicago, winning two races,
one at a mile and one at a mile and a quarter.
If he can go a mile and a half
as well as he did these distances he
will be a dangerous one. Ambulance and
Reckon, tho Morris'entry, are well known.
Reckon is in the pink of condition and has
wonderful speed for a mile and one-eighth.
Ambulance tiad the misfortune to crack a
hoot in the early lommor ind hat been laid
up since. If he has recovered and has Little-
field up ho will also bo danger-
ous. Pagan may run woll, but we
hardly tnink that Mr. Lorillard
expects to win wtth this horse. With a fast
track this race should come Kildeer and Am-
bulance, if Bergen rides the former, or if
some one else has the mount on Kildeer the re-
sult should be Ambulance, Shipmate.
The remaining three races at this track are
well filled with good horses and an exciting
day's sport is promised.

NUNS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
DECISION OF THE ATTORNEY GEN-
ERAL ON THE QUESTION.
A Oerdficato to Teaoh Can Not Be Withheld
On Account of Religious Belief or
Practices.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 14.—Attorney General
Culberson, through his office assistant, Frank
Andrews, furnishes tho following opinion
relative to granting eertifloatos to sisters of
charity or nuns to teach in tho public schools
of Texas:
To State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion—Dear Sir: Wo have your favor of Au-
gust 11, wherein you inquire whether the
state superintendent of public instruction
should refuse teacher's certificates to u lady
on the ground that she is a nun or sister of
charity. You are advised that the only
qualifications required by law for
teacher in the public schools of this
states as the law now enists, are to be found in
chapter lll>, page 183, et »eq., Acts Twenty-
second legislature. Seotion 2 of said act pro-
vides that any one desiring to teach a public
school shall present a certificate from three
good citizens known to the county superin-
tendent or ex-ofileio superintendent that the
applicant is of good moral character and ex-
emplary habits. The county superintendent
shall thereupon, unless satisfied that somo
good cause exists for refusing the certificate
hereinafter mentioned, recommend him to the
board of examiners for examination.
Sect ion 3 provides t hat after such applica-
tion has been made to the board the examiners
shall examine each applicant as to his com-
petency to teach the branches named in the
preceeding clauses in the English language,
and shall make a report on oath to tho county
superintendent or ex-otHcio superintendent,
which report shall stato who of the board were
present at such examination, that the applicant
was examined in all the branches of study
embraced in the grade of certificate recom-
mended, and that such applicant is competent
to teach and qualified to teach all such
branches, and the county superintendent shall,
if such report be favorable, issue a certificate
of competency to the applicant, according to
the grade recommended by the board of ex-
aminers, authorizing his employment by the
trustees of any school district in the county in
which the same is issued.
These seem to be the only qualifications
prescribed for teachers. The only quostion,
therefore, is raised in tho accompanying cor-
respondence submitted with your letter as to
whether or not a nun or sister of charity
otherwise qualified would bo prohibited from
teaching in tho public schools of this stato on
sectarian grounds. The constitution, article 7,
section 5, provides that no nart of tho imman-
ent or available school funa of this state shall
ever be appropriated to or used for the sup-
port of any sectarian school. Article 8705.
Sayles' Civil Statutes, provides that no part of
the public school fund shall be appropriated
to or used for the support of any sectarian
school. Tho question resolves itself into
whether or not the employment of a nun or
a sister of charity in a public free school, to
which tho public free school money of the stato
has been apportioned, would be an appropria-
tion of any part of the school fund of this state
for the support of a sectarian school.
By the general law the trustees of the public
schools of the state are given control and man-
agement of said schools, under tho direction
of tho county superintendent and under tho
general direction of the state superintendent
of public instructions, and it is the duty cf
these officers to see that the laws under which
they act are properly enforced. If the
trustees of any of the public schools
of this state neo fit to employ
a nun or sister of charity to teach in such
schools and no religious teachings of anv
nature whatever aro permitted during such
school hours, nor in tho school building, nor
on the- school premises, neither before nor
after school hours, I can not see that the per-
son so employed would be disqualified under
the laws and constitution of tbis state.
If, however, any nun or sister of charity or
any other person who should bo employed by
the trustees of any public school in this state
to teach in said school should in any manner
whatever give any religious instruction of any
nature whatever or in any way teach or at-
tempt to teach in any form or man-
ner the religion of any denomination,
sect or creed, such a teacher could not be paid
out of the public school fund of this state, as
it would be in violation of the constitution to
appropriate any part of tho scht>ol fund to
the support of any sectarian school or school
where any kind of religion was taught.
You are therefore respectfully advised that
in the opinion of this department you have no
authority to withhold a certificate authorizing
her to teach in public schools of this state
from a nun or sister of charity upon tho ex-
clusive ground that she is a member of a re-
ligious order or maintains and upholds a par-
ticular religious faith.
The spirit of our institutions is that religious
faith or want of religious faith should not pre-
vent the citizens of this country from exercis-
ing and enjoying all the rights ami privileges
granted under the constitution and laws of the
state, and it is only when tho constitution and
laws prohibiting religious instruction in our
public free schools aro infringed that you
would bo authorized to withhold payment of
teachers' vouchers.
Tho employment of a nun or pister of char-
ity is a matter peculiarly under the super-
vision of the trustees of each public school
and superintendent or county judge, as tho
case may be, of each county, and if the
proper ollicer should bo satisfied that
some good cause existed for refusing
a certificate to a nun or sister
of charity he would bo authorized to refuse to
issue the same as in any other eaHo, but it is
not believed that ho could legally refuse to
grant tho certificate upon the exclusive ground
tHat the applicant was a nunor a sister of
charity, but he would bo authorized to refuse
the payment of any voucher where any sort of
religion was taught in any public school in his
county as above indicated.
Our bill of lights also provides (article 1,
section 1) that "no religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification to anyofHccor pub-
lic trust in this state."
Soct ion 0 of the same art icle provides that
"no human authority ought in anv case what-
ever to control or interfere with the rights of
conscience in matters of religion, and no
preference shail be given by law to any re-
ligious society or mode of worship."
It is therefore concluded as above indicat-
ed that you can make no distinction against
any person on account of any religious belief
he may have or any religion to which he may
belong or maintain, provided always that no
religious teaching of any nat ure by any person
is permitted in the public schools of the state."
# Assessing Voters One Cont.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 14.—[Special]—A dis-
patch from Topelca, Kan., says: Only $1100
was expended by tho people's state central com-
mittee lust fall in a campaign which elected
five congressmen, eighty-four legislators, a
United States senator and a majority of the
county tickets. This fall tho committeo has
decided to expend $10,000. Every man
who voted for Wilifts will be asked to con-
tribute one cent to tho ceutral committee. It
will como through the county central commit-
tees, and where 'J000 votes were cast for Wil-
lets the county committee will forward $20 to
the state committee, which will bo turned over
to J. B. French, treasurer of tho allianco. A
committee of three members from the
people's central committee will advise
with Mr. French in regard to expenditures.
Tho election of an alliance state officer to
handle the funds shows that tho people's party
and the alliance will be more closely identi-
fied in tho campaign this fall than they wero
last. Tho campaign will be conducted on tho
principle that the voter who contributes 1
cent can bo depended on to do better work
than tho voter bought for $100.
FIRE REOORD.
An Incendiary's Crime.
Tylxii, Tex., Aug. 14.—This morning Alex
Alexander, who lives in the Browning neigh-
borhood, in this couuty, canio to tho city to
secure ofHoers and dogs to go to his place and

The New York Post on Stocks and Bonds.
NkwYohk, Aug. 14.—[Special]—The Post
says: The statement ol the gross earnings of
the Atchison system for the first week of
August continues the favorable showing of
last month. It shows an increase
over the proportion for the corresponding
week of last August, again over 1W89,and indi-
cates an encouraging progression in tho iin-
{lrovement of that company's condition. A
>etter basis for arguing from such a particular
could hardly be had than the promise of
an almost unprecedented business in
moving tho crops in the Atchison's territory.
Tho strength exhibited by the stock the last
two days reflects some confidence in the situa-
tion. Government bonds havo boon dull aud
firm. Stato bonds have been dull and steady.

FELL DOWN AND DIED.
Carl Morrison's Sudden Death at Houston
Last Night.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 14.—This evening be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock Carl Morrison, while
walking ncross Main street, comer of Capitol,
foil to tho ground, raisod himself by a power-
ful effort, walked a few steps aud fell again on
the street corner near tho street car track. Ho
st rugglod hard to rise, but was unable to do so.
Persons passing carno to his aid and re-
moved him to the sidewalk in front of Hey-
er's drug ntore. He was insensible, and a
physician passing gavo it as his opinion that
the man had fallen in a fit. Efforts were mado
to revive him, but without success, and in half
an hour he was dead. The body was re-
moved to the undertaking establishment of
Pass A Co. and Justice Schwunder was called
to hold an inquest. Ho viewed the body and
ordered its interment in the morning. Ho
will take the testimony to-morrow forenoon.
There were only two or three persons who saw
the man when he fell.
He was from Liverpool, England, but had
been working at Benders timber camp as
cook for a time. He had been drinking for u
few days, which, with unusual exposure to the
sun lately, probably caused his death. Ho
was boarding at Tom CJreenwood's at the time.
Tho body showed no signs of violence, but the
face began to turn blue very soon after his
death. He was rather robust of statue and
lias been seen around town for several days.
He is not known to have any kindred in this
country.
A largo crowd was attracted to the corner
booh after the deceased fell.
WHIPPED BY WOMEN.
DR. HARTMAN'S
A Denison Saloonist Done Up—Came Into
a Big Fortune.
Denison, Tex., Aug. 14.—Tom McCarthy, a
saloon man, who to-day signed a petition for
tho removal of tho demi-monde class
from their present quarters here, and
whoso saloon is in tho same
neighl»orhood, was assaulted by two women,
inmates of adjoining houses, who had been
apprised of his action. They called him out
in the street and subjected him to a merciless
lashing. The women wero fined in tho city
court.
Rol>ert Lobdell, who for the past year has
been handling baggage for the Central, be-
tween Denison and Houston, has recently
gained a suit at law in Cincinnati, <>.. by
which he comes into possession of an estate
valued at $400,000. He left lor Houston this
morning, from whence he will go to Cincin-
nati to assume charge of the property.
COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
Not Likely to Kosuine.
Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 13.—Ever since the
Merchants' National bank suspended and was
taken charge of by a nntional bank examiner
efforts havo been put forth to effect a reorgan-
ization of the concern under a now name and
to have it resume operations. At one time it
was thought, and so stated, that this would be
done, but now it looks as if a receiver will take
charge and wind up its affairs. The cause of
this is said to be two factions among the
stockholders, who are so wide apart that there
is no hope of their boingabloto open upon any
plan looKiug to a reorganization. Recently,
too, there has come to light certain matters
that the public think have had considerable to
do with this split nmong tho stockholders.
These developments, however, do not relate to
the financial condition of the concern, that
being as was stated at tho time the suspension
took place. The trouble is simply a difference
as to the management, and there is hardly a
prospect that this can bo reconciled.
Four Months' Kxtenslon Granted.
San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 14.—A meeting of
creditors of tho Louisiana Lumber company

Mr. Cobb naid the purpose of the receiver-
ship was to protect all creditors and said that
if necessary ho would turn over his residenco
in this city, Tho creditors agreed to an exten-
sion of four months in which to pay off obli-
gations of the company, and ihe assets in
oourt were directed to be withdrawn and
turned over to Mr. Cobb.
The result of the meeting places the com-
pany in a position to resume business at once.

THIRD LECTURE ON MALARIA.
Two Ohronio Invalids, the Viotim3 of Ohills
and Fever, Described.
Hundreds Seeking Release from the Terri-
ble Effects of Malaria.
A few typical cases of chronic malaria will,
perhaps, better servo the purpose of explain-
ing the difference in my mode of treatment of
this disease and the treatment in common
use. From my long list I select, first, a man
past 45 years of age, who had doctored with-
out intermission over ten years. The treat-
ment which had oeen mainly relied on by the
various doctors he had consulted was quinine
or some other derivative of chincona bark. Of
these preparations ho had taken many pounds,
and during several intervals he had taken a
great number of chill cures, but nothing
seemed to have any permanent effect. His
complexion was of that dirty yellow so char-
acteristic of old ague patients, und his sunken,
lusterless eyes, surrounded by dark em it s. in-
dicated how completely his health had been
undermined. The tongue was heavily furred
with a thick brown coating, breath very offen-
sive, and he complained of a constant dull
headache. A poor appetite, indigestion, bil-
iousness and constipation completed a tale of
woo so commonly heard in a malarious lo-
cality.
Fortius man I prescribed Pc-ru-na and Man-
a-lin, the Man-a-lin to bo used until tho bowels
became regular and digestion good. A few
weeks after I received a very enthusiastic let-
ter from him, in which he declared himself
nearly well and hotter than he had been in ten
years, and had taken no quinine since begin-
ning my treatment. I instructed him to grad-
ually leave off thoMan-a-lin, which he did, but
continued the Pe-ru-na a few months longer,
and made a complete recovery, continuing to
enjoy the best of health.
The next case, a lady, who, fifteen years
previously, had been taken with the fever and
ague. At onco physicians were employed
wmo gave her the usual remedies, quinine be-
ing the principal one. Physician after phy-
sician wore employed, who sometimes were able
to break her chills for a tune, but they would
invariably return, reducing her a little more
each time. In desperation she had rosorted to
every school of medicine, until, in complete
discouragement, she had given up employing
physieiuus and hud taken quiuiuo regularly
ever since. At the timo she was brought to
me she was obliged to take very large doses of
quinine several times each day, as it
had become an inveterate habit with
her, and yet sho continued at irregu-
lar intervals to have chills and fever.
1 examined her carefully, and, in addition to
the extreme weakness and emaciation to which
she was reduced, the function of every organ
in her body was more or less perverted. Her
stomach was weak, scarcely able to take auy
nutrition, liver enlarged, spleen enlarged and
tender, bowels constinated, kidneys inflamed,
uterus congested, blaader and urethra irrita-
ble and painful external piles. These derange-
ments wore partly due, no doubt, to her pro-
tracted confinement to the bed, but in a
router measure due to the use of quinine and
e inevitable derangements of chronic mala-
rial diseases.
But tho derangement of her nervous system
was still worse to bear than all her other trou-
bles. The slightest noise or jar in the room
produced an uncontrollable spasmodic parox-
ysm of the muscles and pain in her head.
Every nerve in her body soemed to be on the
highest jKjssible tension, quivering and sensi-
tive to the last degree. The tenderest touch
would cause her to cry out with pain in spite
of all the self-control nhe was capable of. Iler
mind was perfectly clear and her intellect
much above the average person. For this lady
1 prescribed Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin, assuring
her that if she would faithfully continue their
use they would entirely cure her. A few weeks
after I received a report from her that she was
rapidly improving, and to-day sho is fully re-
covered. and, according to her own statement,
is as well as ever in her life. She quit the use
of quinine when she began my treatment, and
took no medicine but Pe-ru-na und Mun-u-iin
until her recovery was complete.
There is a derangement which sometimes
follows as the result of malaria which I ought
not to omit to mention, as it is rarely cured
by tho ordinary treatment—a peculiar blood-
less (aniemic) condition, which is due to tho
destruction of the red blood corpuscles by
the malarial poison. Tho symptoms arc a
waxy whiteness of the skin and persistent
weakness. This condition exhibits no tend-
ency toward improvement by a nutritious
diet like other forinB of weakness, but must
be cured by medicinal preparations if cured
at all. I also believe it not only to be use-
less to give any of the preparations of iron,
but that they are positively injurious.
Pe-ru-na can be relied upon to cure these
cases and restore to perfect health as speedily
as the chronic nature of the difficulty will
allow. Should constipation exist at the same
time Man-a-lin should be added. The Pe-ru-
na tones up the nervous system and enriches
the blood, giving strength and vitality, while
Man-a-lin restores the activity to the excretory
glands, enabling the system to rid itself of ac-
cumulated poisons, bringing back to this most
unfortunate class of invalids the flush and good
feeling of perfect hoaltli again.
