Lusk's Hall Totnmorrow Right.
Only a few more days of grace
and Brenham will be treated with
a lecture by Gov. Taylor. The
best opportunity is presented to
the public now to show their ap-
preciation of a high class enter-
tainment by turning out a large
audience and so doing you will
induce others to come. There
will be easy seating room for all
who come. No one will have to
stand. A chair will be provided,
whether having reserved seat or
not. I could no doubt sell a few
more tickets by calling on the
public and asking them to buy
a ticket to the lecture, but in do-
ing so I feel that I am asking a
favor of my friends, and in this
case I think Gov. Taylor's popu-
larity and notoriety is such that
it is not necessary to go to this
trouble. Therefore 1 will refrain
from asking this of the public in
person and ask it of you through
the press. Turnout Monday
evening to hear Gov. Taylor and
if not satisfied let's give the lec-
ture field a broad range and let
them seek greener pasture.
Wm.Lusk,
echoes of the texas PRESS
Italy Newt-Herald:
Last Wednesday at 6:30 this i
scribe left Italy for Brenham to
attend the 21st annual meeting of j
the Texas Press Association j
to mingle with ; kindred spirits j
and gain inspiration for further
and better efforts in the field of
newspaperdom.
Brenham was reached at 12:30
and our appetite was at its climax.
The reception committee met us
and soon I was seated by a big
table where I fed myself till my
corporeal »ystem was thoroughly
replenished, ready for any emer-
gency.
The association wa3 called to
order at 2 o'clock, the first ses-
sion having been held in the fore-
noon. Routine business pertain-
ing to newspaper making in all
its phases was carried out per-
fectly as was on Friday and Sat-
urday mornings. A number of
good and interesting papers were
read and many fine speeches
made but a discussion of them in
this article is deemed inappro-
priate.
Thursday night we were roy-
ally entertained by the local
talent. Misses Epstein, Callaway
and Beoker deserve especial
praise for their most excellent
renditions.
Friday night a ball was given
for our benefit in which each one
could participate if he so desired.
And right here let me remark
that Brenham occupies the front
seat when it comes to society.
Pretty women and handsome
men were plentiful, all attired in
costumes of the latest fashions
Fifty couples at one time were
tripping the light fantastic.
Friday at 2 p. m. the entire
membership wert> tendered car-
riages and taken on a two hour's
ride over the beautiful city of
Brenham and shown its large
factories, long streets, immense
avenues, pretty lawns and ele-
gant homes. The largest furn-
iture factory in the south is here
located which employes 50 hands,
besides numerous other enter-
prises. Brenham is a pretty city
of ten thousand population and
surrounded by the finest farming
lands to be found anywhere.
There is great wealth and refine-
ment in Brenham, It has been
said that Brenham people set the
pace in Texas society and I don't
deny the statement.
Saturday at 1 p. m. a banquet
was tendered the press gang, and
four long tables were heavily
ladenea with viands of every de-
scription good enough for thet
monarchs of the world. Here is
where the genuine hospitality of
the good people of Brenham was
so lavishly bestowed that it made
me feel like 1 wanted to remain
in that city the remaining part of
my periodical existence on this
mundane sphere. The good,
noble, kind and sweet-spirited
ladies did all they could to make
the press folk feel at home and
ruly enjoy the bountiful repast.
Pretty ladies with their own ef-
forts saw to it that we lacked for
nothing.
All the meetings, concert, ball
and banquet were held in Lusk's
hall, one of, if not the finest,
largest and best fitted up hall in
the South. The hall is a double
one with parlors between. These
parlors are furnished in the finest
style with all the conveniences
and essentials of a well-appointed
place of amusement in the way of
balls, club meetings, entertain
ments, etc.
Saturday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock the whole orowd with
great reluctance left Brenham
for Galveston, via the popular
Santa Fe route.

Gipsies Departed.
The Gipsy colony that has
been quartered in the suburbs of
the city the past two weeks or
more broke camp Saturday and
departed for Paris, France,
via Galveston and the Gulf.
They called on Messrs. Win-
kelmann 4 Bohne, Bteamship
agents, Saturday morning and
out of dirty belts and concealed
pockets brought forth §2,500 in
gold and silver of foreign mint-
age. There were Austrian florins,
Spanish pesetos, French franks,
English sovereigns and Mexican
doubloons. Several counterfeit
ooins were discovered in the lot
by Mr. Dreyer, who was formally
an employe of a bank in the old
country. The colony is made up
of blacksmiths and coppersmiths
and they are all subject to the
order of Captain Mendoza whom
they obey implicity, When they
are all talking at once he has
but to wave his hand to command
quiet. They appear to hold their
property in common.
Mr. J. K. Ayers, a prominent
lumber man of Conroe, was in the
city Saturday arranging a lumber
deal with Hon. Heber Stone.
The latest annual report of the
Pennsylvania railroad deals with
enormous figures, as usual. The
increase in gross earnings is lar
ger than the total receipts of some
respectable railroad systems, and
the expenditures are greater than
the income of some governments,
Italy and Austria-Hungary, for
instance. The net earnings are
equivalent to 5 per cent on §900,
000,000.
The soldiers' badges of the
Confederate Re-union at Louis
