Mrs. Lydia McLane Johnston,
wife of Gen. Joseph E Johnston,
died at her residence in Washington, ]
D. C., last Tuesday,, of paralysis.
A little three-year-old girl of Mr.
Louis Taylor, living near San
Angelo, was lost for tour da>s.
When found she was alive, and is
recuperating rapidly.
It was thought last month that the
wheat in Coleman county was killed,

The President has appointed E.
C. Moel, Mo., consul general to
Mexico, vice Mr. Porch, removed.
It will he remembered that the
Sedgewick scandal got out through
Porch, and that is believed to be
the cause of his removal.

Commissioner Tibbs has made
an arrangement with the other com-
missioners by which the iron cages
in the old jail will be transferred to
the union jail in Denison. They are
to be appraised, and one-half of the
value is to be borne by the county
and the other half by the city of
Denison. The county owes the city
$1000 on the cost of erection of the
jail here, which amount is to be
credited on the cost to Denison of
the cages.

Manufacturers of kerosene oil say
that all lamps are safe with good
oil, and that the quality of oil can be
ascertained by the following test:
Take a pint tin-cup, fill it nearly full
of water warmed so that an ordinary
thermometer immersed in itwill show
120 deg., pour a small quantity of oil
on the water, stir it a little, then pass
a lighted match quickly but closely
over the surface of the oil once; if it
ignites the oil is unsafe. If pur-
chases be made of from three to five
gallons at a time, and this test be
made, people can protect them-
selves.

And What it it all About—Immense
Business Being Done at the Star
Store in New Importations of
Spring Goods.
No firm ever received more flatter-
ing evidence of its popularity than
has been given the Star Store during
the past week. The manner in
which the people have turned out
and thronged the mammoth sales-
rooms of the big emporium in their
search for new and fashionable
goods, has convinced the manage-
ment that their announcements are
accepted as sterling gold and has
established beyond doubt the great
hold they have upon the confidence
of the people. To merit this confi-
dence will ever be their aim, and to
secure to old and new customers
alike the best values that the mar-
kets afford, will be their highest
business aspiration. Notwithstand-
ing the large number of competent
salesmen employed in the store it is
found necessary to have additional
assistance in order to avoid keeping
customers waiting, and the manage-
ment aim to increase their force to
this end.
The house is now literally packed
with new spring goods, and is an
elysian study to any lady Who ap-
preciates the tasteful anil elegant in
dress, or the beauties of original
feminine trappings. Spanish flounc
mg is here in white, brown, ecru
and black beautiful to behold, and
which should be seen by all the
ladies in Denison. Oriental laces in
all colors and widths, and all over
lace to match. Embroideries in all
widths, with insertion and all over
lace to match. Splashes, table scarfs
and tidies already stamped, in large
variety, at popular prices. Ladies’
companions and shopping bags,
original styles and in endless variety.
New styles in collars and cuffs. Pom
Pons in chenille and tinsel, with
cord to match, for fancy work.
Rosary beads in all colors anil black.
Passamentary trimmings in endless
profusion and at all prices, and a
fresh lot of choice ginghams which
are commanding the admiration of
customers and selling rapidly. Every
line mentioned above, as well as
many more that could be mentioned,
is complete in every particular and
awaits public inspection at the Star
Store. This week a golden oppor-
tunity will be given you to see this
magnificent array of dress goods
and novelties, and it will be worth
your while to call, as nothing like
them will reach the city again this
season.
Mrs. Pavey, the widow of Dr.
Pavey, who was a member ot the
late Arctic expedition to LadyFrank-
lin bay, appeared before the senate
committee on military affairs Tues-
day, to oppose the pending nomina-
tion of Capt. Greeley to be chief
signal officer. She stated she had
important documents she wished the
senate to consider before action on
the confirmation was taken.
THE NEW TEXAS SENATOR.
One of the original planks in the
Knights of Labor platform was “jus-
tice to women.” “Justice” is evi-
dently a pliant term with the Knights,
fifty of whom have been called out
of a factory at W ashington because
a women employed in it does not
belong to the order, and the factory
is to be boycotted till the woman is
discharged. The firm do not regard
the age of chivalry as a thing alto-
gether of the past, and decline to
discharge the woman. She in turn
declines to resign, and hence there
is a deadlock. A more contempt-
ible spectacle than a poweful organ-
ization of men warring against one
woman has seldom been witnessed.
—Exchange.
A rustic couple, in a mover’s
wagon, arrived in the city Tuesday
from Johnson county, aud sought
out the Rev. W’. H. Robert. They
were on their way to the beautiful
scenes of the Indian Territory where
they hoped to pass the remainder ot
their lives in the acquisition of hap-
piness, cattle and dengue fever, but
still they were not happy. There
was a void in the life of each which
no prospect of dengue fever could
fill, however certain or glowing that
prospect might be. They wanted
something more substantial and en-
during. They were single and were
sighing to be made one. They
therefore called upon the Rev. Rob-
ert, took him with them to Rock
Bluff ferry and crossing the Rubi-
con were married on the other side
and continued on their way rejoic-

SCHOOL MATTERS.
New York Sun.
Judge Reagan will be the only
tarmer in the senate. At the close of
the war he went back to his old
home, on a small sandy farm, near
Palestine. Texas, and began the
spring work. He had hardly a dollar
in the W’orld, and could not hire a
single negro to help him. At that
time he was exceedingly unpopular
with his neighbors and with the
southern people generally. While
a prisoner in Fort Warren he had
written a letter to his people at home
acknowledging that the south had
been defeated, and advising her peo-
ple to accept the situation, go to
their homes and farms, and begin
life over again. . It took years for
Reagan to outgrow the effects ot
this letter. He is now’ nearly 70
years old, but, as he remarked a few
days before leaving Washington for
Austin. “I come of a long lived
family on both sides, and I am good
for quite a time yet?” ■’ He said he
expected, if successful, to enjoy the
Texas precedent of being re-elected
as a reward for good service. Three
year* ago Judge Reagan thought
his time had come to die. He had
a dangerous malady and there was
no alternative but death or an ope-
ration that might itself be death.
He took the slender chances and
savs he is now a model of physical
health. •
THE INSIDE TRACK.
Certain houses, by virtue of per-
sonal friendship, social intimacy or
commercial prestige, possess pecu-
liar influence with manufacturers and
big importers and enjoy large ad-
vantages over other concerns in the
purchase ot their goods. Such an
establishment is Jacobs Bazaar. The
management of this popular concern
are upon the inside track in the pur-
chase of all kinds of goods and are
satisfied with a smaller per cent,
profit than any firm in the city.
Their spring goods are arriving
dailv and are being opened up as
fast as they arrive. We have just
left the Bazaar where our eyes have
been saluted with the finest array of
new goods wre have seen this season.
New embroideries, new ginghams,
new ladies' neck w’ear. the largest
assortment and most fashionable
goods in the city. New spring Jer-
sevs, men’s clothing and men’s hats.
These goods have just arrived from
the establishments of the leading
manufacturers and importers ot the
East and now await your inspection
at the popular Jacobs’ Bazaar.
It transpires that Jtidge Thos. M.
Joseph, of Galveston, Treasurer of
the Texas Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows, is short in his accounts,
$33,184.60, which he explains wras
lost in mining speculations.
Old Tommy Jones had, what he catted,
as good a nag as could be found in the
neighborhood. There was nothing su-
perior about him. He was just a good,
reliable, faithful animal, that Tommy
had paid a hundred dollars for, had used
a lew years, become attached to, and
thought about as much of as if he were
one of the children.
One morning when he brought him
out ot his stable, the horse seemed un-
willing to moye keenly, but held his head
up, lifted his feet high, and stepped cau-
tiously. Tommy thought this was rather
strange, especially as the weather was
cool, and keen, and the horse had not
been out ef the stable for several days.
He ought to prance and jump, and ex-
hib:t signs of liveliness, yet was almost
the opposite.
During the day this condition passed
away, and before night the horse seemed
himself again. After a few days when he
took him out again. Tommy noticed the
same condition, only a little worse, and
becoming uneasy, he drove off to town to
see the county horse doctor.
Old Dr. Blister was sitting on the tav-
ern porch when Tommy drove up, and
asked him to come out and see what was
the matter with the horse.
“I won’t come an inch, Tommy,” said
the doctor. ‘‘I can tell you from here
what is the matter. Your horse is going
blind from being kept in a dark stable.”
There was too much truth in that. Mr.
Jones had been using an old dug out tor
a stable, every day intending to build a
new one, and every day putting it off,
until his horse was almost ruined.
Now, what do you suppose Jones did
when he was told that an underground
stable was unfit tor a horse? Did he vil-
lify the doctor, and say he was preju-
diced against underground stables? Did
he say he had used that stable tor years,
and the horse had never gone blind be-
fore? Did he stop on his way home and
abuse the district school ma’am as the
cause ot all his trouble, that damp, un-
derground, dark stables were healthy un-
til she began teaching to the contrary?
Did he daub on a coat of plaster, and pay
$1500 tor partitions, and bring in another
horse, to make it healthy? Did he kick
the stable boy off the tarm because he
had bailed out the water that ran into
the stable during the last rain? Did he
resolve and resolve to take the horse out
as soon as he could build another stable?
No; he acted like a prudent, sensible
man. Neither that horse nor any other
ever went back into that stable. Unfit tor
stable purposes, it was abandoned.
There are some rooms in the cellar of
the public school where it is difficult to
see a chalk mark on the blackboard,
across the room, except in very clear
weather.
It the devil had hatched a scheme to
rob the children of their eyesight he could
not have pitched on a better one than
this, and it is having its effect too; which
fact is known to no one better than the
little “medicated spectacle” doctor, who
makes his regular and fretjeienttwvljj I (
this city, and makes his headquarters with
his Honor, the ex-Mayor, while he is
here. These underground school rooms
are “oil” |o him.
Too many of our children are becoming
near sighted from confinement in the
cellar ot the school house. The necessity
of abandoning the basement was pointed
out a year ago. In truth, we need more
attention given to all matters pertaining
to the education of our children, and the
only way to get it is to elect a set a trus-
tees who have special capacity for it. We
want the highest obtainable talent tor our
schools, and no more jack-knife carpen-
tering about it.

Remarks.— During the entire week there were
no tardv pupils in rooms 6 and 8, H. S., room 1,
No. Hi, rooms 1 and 2, No. IV, and room 3, col-
ored school.
A word of explanation ought perhaps to be
given in regard to the enrollment. It has been
geiieaallY agreed by fhe school superintendents of
different cities that after three davs absence the
names of absent pupils shall l»e dropped from the
roil. Many of those dropped return and are re-
admitted, so there are always a number of pupils
not counted on the roll whofreaJly belong to the
schools.
It will be noticed by comparison with former re-
ports that our enrollment ntts steadily increased
since the holidays. This is probably an evidence
of the growth of Denison, but it certainlv is also
an e\ idence of the high esteem in which our
schools are held by the patrons. If patrons who
think they have cause to complain will visit the
schools and investigate for themselves, we guar,
antee that they will be fully satisfied. We chal-
lenge investigation of our work. Of course, there
are some defects in the system which time only
can correct, and then only by the employment of
proper means. However that mav be we say em-
phatically that Denison has a splendid corps of
teachers thoroughly posted in the work assigned
them, to which thev are energetically and enthu-
siastically giving their very best efforts.
Fathers, make an effort and see whether you
can not spare a little time from your business, and
you, mothers, from your social and household
duties for the purpose of viewing the school work
of your little ones. Every effort will be put forth
to make the remainder of the years* work even
more successful than the first part has been.

Marshal Cutler should examine the
alley in the rear of the Colonnade. It is
terrible.—Evening Journal.
As the alley here alluded to is the street
on which the local editor of this paper
lives he can only regard the above effu-
sion in one light—that of its being a dark
insinuation against the high-toned char-
acter of his surroundings and an under-
hand effort to injure him in the eyes of
bon-ton society. That this thoroughfare
(alley, the Journal slightingly calls it) “is
terrible” we indignantly deny. To be
sure it has a good sized river meandering
through it, but so has every street in
Genoa. This beautitul stream, which
rises in the Colonnade kitchen and
empties into the vacant lot on the corner
ot Chestnut and Rusk, flows in iimpid
stillness over a rich, loamy soil and be-
tween picturesque banks of broken bricks
and empty tomato cans, being studded at
intervals with romantic little islands of
dismantled stew pans and embellished
with eddies of broken umbrella and dis-
carded rubber coat. The tomato cans
and broken umbrellas furnish rich grazing
for the cattle and hogs which are, at
most seasons of the year, found browsing
upon the banks'*?? beautiful streamy
while the succulent rubber coat and in-
cipient dish towel, which float upon the
bosom ot the waters, constitute rare
plunder for Col. Moody and his estima-
ble spouse, who canvass the minature
Mississippi from source to outlet every
day. This river is just- a little too nar-
row to require a pontoon, bridge and a
little too wide to jump across, conse-
quently many coons, in attempting to
cross to the Colonnade laundry on Sun-
day tor the purpose of seeing their girls,
have fallen in and been drowned, and
thus it has filled a long felt want. The
Journal man talks as if an examination of
this “terrible” thoroughfare by the city
marshal would have the effect of entirely
transforming it from its present condi-
tion, but he will find that the puny arm
of the city marshal will be but weak in
turning this noble streamlet from its
course. We hope he will let it be. It is
rich enough tor us when the wind fans it
without having a city marshal delving in-
to it for the purpose ot cleaning it out.
If it is filled up it will be an imposition
upon the rights of the hotel. What will
they do with the soup after it has been
taken in for the guests to look at, and
what will become of the empty oyster
cans when there is nothing to float o& on.
They can’t go sailing away on dry ground,
and it is a fact well known to those pos-
sessing the most rudimentary knowledge
ot hotel mythology that the hash and
dish towels must find a great resting place
somewhere. Then if not in this river,
where? Echo answers, where? It Is a
good old proverb, “ Let bad enough
alone,” and we hope the city marshal
and all concerned will abstain from mak-
ing any examination ot this alley or do-
ing anything to disturb its placid equani-
mity. Johnson knows we live upon this
alley and, in his desire to injure us, has
said the cruel statement contained in the
above extract. But everybody knows that
Johnson has no eye for the beauties of
nature anyhow—that is, artificial nature,
we mean.
While this is a lamenta- free Qf charge. And we will use all honorable means to make quick sales,
ble. circumstance, anil one which Property owners will find is to their interest to have only one agency,
claims the sympathy of the entire , tj,us avoiding misunderstandings which are an injury to parties wishing
city for the afflicted districts, it is a to se||
matter for which we have ourselves \Ve have made the collection of rents and the furnishing of tenants
wholly to blame and which is , for vacant houses a special feature of our busiuess and claim superior
brought about by the supercillious [facilities, as our Mr. Alexander has a more extensive acquaintance
manner in which we have been ac- j vv;th railroad men, who are the principal house renters, than any other
agent in the city.
We believe that more net rent can be collected by us than by the
owner, and in addition to making such collections promptly, we exercise
a general supervision over both property and tenant, attend to all neces-
sary repairs and look after insurance and taxes (if owner desires it) as
they fall due. We think we understand the duties of an agent to his
principal and always insist on carrying out his instructions to the lette.
For our compensation we charge a legitimate commission, whether
it be for selling property, renting houses, or collecting rents.
We act in the capacity of agents only and charge a reasonable per-
centage for such service.
customed of late to turn up our noses
and scoff at the humble yet nourish-
ing and life-sustaining diet of sau
sage. Beef, pork, mutton, veal,
game and even fish have been con-
sidered matter quite good enough for
the functional energies of our physi-
cal systems to act upon, but while
this has been the case we have con-
tinued to proceed upon the journev
of life, disdainfully regardless of the
higher claims to recognition which
sausage inherently has and ot the
splendid position which an all-wise
Providence ordained it should occu-
py in the estimation of man. Those
of us who have eaten sausage at all
have bought it in the form ot knob-
loch, thereby showing a haughty
preference for northern dog to the
exclusion of the home produced ar-
ticle. If it is our opinion that a bet-
ter breed of the canine species flour-
ishes in the north than Denison can
boast of we are mistaken, for it can
be proven by Dog scientists ot ad-
vanced erudition that we have as
good specimens of the genus canis
as can be found anywhere, and if we
think that because there are cities
which possess more wealth, their
dogs will possess more flesh, we are
again off our base, for it is a fact
well knowu to every student of dog-
ology that the fattest dogs, and the
most of them, are always to be found
at the poorest man’s shanty. We
have been proud and uncompromis-
ing in this matter ot home-made
sauaage and now find ourselves face
to face with the results of our folly.
The dog was sent to nourish the vital
forces of man and as a staff for him
in an alimentary sense to lean upon,
but once the purpose of the Giver is
ignored, and the wisdom of his
providence set at naught by the sub-
stitution of other and objectionable
articles of sustenance, our willful in-
descretion is certain to recoil upon
us as is evidenced by the unhappy
state of affairs now prevailing m
various quarters of our own city to
which the Journal refers in its issue
of Monday. Our cotemporary can
see the difficulty and nobly raises its
voice to proclaim the danger, but not
being equipped with the power of
philosophical research necessary to
give the cause Ot the difficulty or
prescribe a remedy, it bequeaths to
us the duty of settling these grave
questions. The cause of the dilemma
we have already explained. Its
panecca is easily named, and we are
happy to know that it is not yet too
late for the remedy to prove effica-
cious. Let our citizens cease to ex-
ercise their epicurean supercillions-
ness in the selection of what they
have to eat—eat more home-made
sausage and the dog nuisance will
abate itself, the people in these in-
fested districts will find repose, and
the Journal will no longer be com-
pelled to raise its yoice against an
abnormal multiplication of dogs in
any part of our progressive city.
The article in Saturday mornings News
headed “Denison before and atter elec-
tion,” is in its application, a rather am-
biguous effort, and might be construed
to reflect rather seriously upon Mr. Russ
Legate, the present incumbent of the
City Assessor and Collector’s office.
This we are assured however was not in-
tended by the writer, the muddle re-
fered to being tn the books of the county
collector instead of those of Mr. Legate.
The books of the latter gentleman are
open to inspection at ail times and show
for themselves. Mr. Legate is the most
competent and conscientious collector
the city has ever had, and to use the lan-
guage ot the News in a recent issue, is
the “right man in the right place.”
The popular meat market carry-
ing the largest variety of meats,
game and fowl in the city, and the
one selling at the lowest prices, is
