The Houston Post, Comment-
ing upon Governor Pennoyer’s
action in declining to go out of
his way to meet President Harri-
son says:
“Some of the eastern republi-
can papers are profoundly stirred
over a little incident in the state
of Oregon.
“When it was proposed to him
to meet the presidential touring
party at the state line and offici-
ally welcome Mr. Harrison, Gov-
ernor Penn oyer responded as fol-
lows:
I shall do nothing of the sort
If the governor of Oregon should
visit Washington, nobody would
expect the president to meet him
at the outskirts of the city or else-
where, or at all, and there is no
better reason why a governor of
Oregon should meet Mr. Harri-
son. President Harrison repres-
ents, in his official capacity, the
official power and dignity of the
Federal government, I, as gov-
ernor of Oregon, represent the
state of Oregon in the same capa-
city. We are equal.
It so happens that Governor
Pennsyer is a democrat, and this
fact, more than anything else,
perhaps, causes the republican
organs to rear back and howl.
The Boston Traveller, a stalwart
of the stalwarts, for instance,
characterize the action of Gover-
nor Pennoyer as disgraceful and
says that “it will be interesting to
see if this bumptious little man
will follow his State's right# doc-
toring to the extent of waiting in
Oregon's capital for President
Harrison to ask an audience with
him in order to pay him hi# re-
speetft. The people of Oregon
Hum be proud of their demo
cratir governor, but they will try
no more Pennoyer experiments.”
This sound and fury might come
with better grace from a paper
oatsida of Massachusetts, for
Governor Pennoyer cites a prece-
dent for his “State's rights no-
tions" as follows:
There is a good precedent, too
for this position. It happened
under the first administration,
when Washington, while presi-
dent, visited Boston. Hancock
was then governor of Massachu-
setts and it was proposed that he
should go to receive and welcome
the greatest man of the Republic,
President George Washington.
He flatly refused to do so. He
claimed that the president should
first pay his respects to him as
governor of Massachusetts.
LESSONS IN LEGERDEMAIN.
MneictHii Kirk but Rt-
fpciiv** Tvirfm.
“There is no tmsoi.” said Frank .I
Kirk, teacher of tnagk:. to me a day or
two afro, “why every one should not in-
dulge in my agreeable pastime and art
It drives away, the cares of the business
man and lightens the heart of the over-
worked wife and mother. To the chil-
dren it affords innocent amusement.
“Any one with a little time devoted to
practice and following instructions may
become a fair prestidigitatenr. When
practicing alone the beginner should al-
ways stand in front of a large mirror, in
order that he may see* his faults as others
see them. When about to perform a
trick he should never state what he in-
tends doing, but simply name the arti-
cles he is about to work with. The same
1 rick should never be shown twice in
succession, as the audience loses interest
in it and is liable tc detect the move-
ments."
Magician Kirk then explained a few
interesting tricks as follows:
“The Smoke Illusion—Take two or-
dinary glasses and rub the inside of one
with ammonia and the other with muri-
atic acid Then place one on top of the
other, bow! to l*owl, and stand at the
other end of the room and smoke a cigar
or pipe Immediately the glasses will fill
up with smoke This is a very effective
trick, and can also be done with two
common clay pipes Can* should lie
use! in handling the acid, as it is danger-
• nis.
“The Invisible Hen — A dark silk
handkerchief about St by 24 inches is
necessary- to perform this trick. Fasten
an empty egg shell to the handkerchief
about two inches- from the top A string
should -he jix-sc-!! through the egg shed
and -be *!*>?.; f ight inches long The
performer borrows a silk high hat, and
taking The kimaeercbMSf by the two top
ends, with : hr egg toward himself, pro-
ceeds to tola the tuuadkercfatrf by bring-
ing the two top emls together. Then
bold these ends n> the left hand and the
artier two ends in the light.
“Let she egg slide so that all can see.
then cover Ui*- ha: with the handker-
chief. and when raising the handkerchief
,;iet:]i the egg toward voarself. Then lei
it slide into the hat again, and so cm for
four nr five times. It will appear as
though there ure tie eggs in the hat
when, to the astonishment of every one.,
the performer shows the hat to be per-
fectly empty This is a very simple
trick and cun oe learned in a few min-
mee
“To Hpm a Handkerchief on a Cane—
Cut u -strong pm through a common
walking cunt-. itegniunig about a half inch
fcroiu the bottom and jitwiung it tniaul-
! ways tvwii; pri^eat ,about an eighth of
an inch A silk handkerchief is then
thrown into Jibe air -and -caught gently
on the cane where the pin is. and by
giving the cane a few quick twists the
handkerchief will straighten out. like a
piece of cardboard, and spin in the air
in a very lively manner.
“To beginners 1 would remark that
they must not attempt to accomplish too
much at the start. What they do, let
them do it well.”—New York Herald.

UNDERTAKING,
Houstonians are warm under
the yoke. One of them writes to
the Post as follows about a paper
which has quite a circulation in
El Paso: “I see that the Kansas
City Sun correspondent has been
run out of Dallas, Austin and oth-
er places in Texas. Probably it
was this same miscreant who came
here and libeled some of Hous-
ton’s people, but he most have
had informers and assistants here.
Is it possible that we have anyone
mean enough in Houston to aid
such a contemptible sheet? If so
they onght^to be hunted out aud
prosecuted for .'criminal libel.
Another thing; those who circu-
late or help to circulate this sheet
The San Antonio Express re-
cites the following apt illustration
of the hackneyed saw “There’s
many a slip ’twixt cup and lip”
as has just been witnessed in the
real estate market: A well-known
firm of brokers|which transacts an
extensive business in country
property had a buyer for a 2,COO
acre ranch. He had viewed the
property and was perfectly satis-
fied with it in every respect. He
announced liis intention to buy
the property at a good figure, and
the firm proceeded to make out
the necessary papers. While
these preliminaries were in pro-
gress, another broker, who had
some dealings with the owner of
the ranch in question, ran an at-
tachment on the property to se-
cure payment of a commission
The prospective customer of the
real estate firm, on learning of
this at once declared the trade off-.
¥o inducement on the part of
either th« owner or the’firm of
brokers could induce him to ac-
cept the property, and he left the
state yesterday in disgust.
“Real" money is rarely used in stage
transactions, but the five dollar bill
which Uncle Josh hands to Happy Jack
in “The Old Homestead” is the genuine
article. Moreover, it is the first money
passed into the box office window of the
New York Academy of Music on the ini-
tial production of that play, nearly four
years ago. Denman Thompson is a be-
liever in fetiches and regards the bill as
a mascoi
