No-Tsu-Oh directors were made glad
last night by the- report of Membership
Committeeman rjfcssion who returned a
list of 152 name of person who have
added themselves to the roll since the
membership campaign started two weeks
s.go. Of these Iff have paid tlielr mem-
bership fee of Hfc.
Committeeman Hussion had some other
Important things . to report his report
was in fact the taost Interesting report
it the meeting. 'The membership cam-
paign eo far has been a quiet campaign
but Hussion proposes te make It the
liveliest thing In Houston during these
next succeeding weeks. And It was some
of the features Which he lias planned to
liven up the campaign that made Interest-
ing news for the ears of the directors
last night. f
The tlist of these features will appear
on Main street today. Three big banners
will he stretched across high above the
elect rlo wires cne ut the Capitol avenue
Intersection one at Prairie avenue Inter-
section and one at Franklin avenue. In
poster letters of varied hues they will
Invite loyal lloustonlans to become No-Tu-Oh
members and they will hold out
that standing Invitation from now until
the opening of the big fall festival.
MOVING PICTURE SCHEME.
And Hussion has schemed something
else. The moving picture shows will
lend a hand. A series of slides advertis-
ing the Importance of Carnival member-
ship has been prepared and arrangements
have been made with the moving picture
shows to use these In every exhibition.
The membership button is the central
Idea of the advertisement. One slide asks
Ihe question "Where is your membership
button?" Another slide declares "If he
does not wear a button he is none of us."
And another one designates the button
wearers "Every man who is anxious to
further Houston's Interests wears a but-
ton." Advertising privileges have been se-
cured from the Houston Electric com-
pany also and the Invitations to join the
No-Tsu-Oh association will be posted in
Mg letters on the front boards of the
Mreet cars.
Just at this time the membership cam-
paign is the most Important Interest of
the Carnival organisation. While all of
the other committees are making ready
the features for the week of CArnlval.
the membership committee is enllsttng the
constituency the men who are the rank
and file of the Carnival organisation
without whom It can not be a success.
Fifteen hundred has been established as
the goal of effort for the membership
campalen. and the committee Is confident
that this will he reached Anyhow 1 lie
committee Isn't going to let any possi-
bilities slip by through default.

FORMED A
Retail Merchants Organize Br.nct)
of (be State Association. ' '
MUNN IS MADE PRESIDENT
In His AddreBs to Members He Su-
ffttted the Probability of Social
Features Being Introduced
Later On.
At the railed meeting of the Houston
reUt! mercha..s la! evening in th
rooms of th Huntness League. Temple
building a Houston Retail Merchants' as-
sociation with a full complement of of-
ficers was oi ira-nired. The meeting was
well attended and every one manifested
much Interest In the proceeding's.
J. H. Oaddy of Waco representing the
Hate Hetall Merchants' association
which. Is conducting the movement of
local organization had the floor most of
the evemnx Mr Gaddy outlined the pur-
pose oi the movement and offered sugges-
tions that will no doi.ht prove beneficial
In the future work of the association.
AmuiiR other things. Mr. Gaxidy exposed
the injury that is bfing done to local
trade by the su-ralled ' catalogue houses"
and urged the necessity of taking strong
measures.
Mr. Gaddy gave a number of Instances
whereini the actual land values of whole
ommunlties have decreased under the
absorbing influence of the big mall-order
cum-erns that are sapping the prosperity
out of so many of the smaller places. He
thinks that the retailer should seek the
co-operation of the wholesale men. The
wholesale dealer he nays realises the
fact that the prosperity of the retail mer-
chant can only mean a benefit to himself
and jobbers will be only too willing lo
work in harmony with them.
RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
Following were the officers elected: W.
C. Munn president ; J. E. Curry vice
president; C. W. Hurley secretary and
J. C. Locke treasurer. A committee
composed of E. . Hill. W. E. Hamilton
and C. W. Hurley will draw up a con-
stitution and by-taws and submit same
nt the next meeting of the association
for ratification and adoption. It was de-
cided that the selection of a board of
truHtees be lft with the president for
appointment between now and the next
meeting. The board will be composed of
seven iternons to cover the seven most
important lines of retail trade with the
president and secretary as ex officio mem-
1ern. A canvassing committee to assist
Mr. Gaddy in the enlistment of new mem-
bers was also left to the chairman for
appointment.
President Munn presided during the
latter half of the meeting and closed the
proceedings with a general discourse on
the future work of the club. Mr. Munn
."uggeHted the probability of introducing
a sof ijil feature later on but he Kays
that the first thing io be done is to per-
fect a permanent organization.
The meeting adjourned about 11 o'clock
till next Friday evening when the con-
stitution and by-laws and the report of
Mr. Oaddy and the canvassing committee
will be heard.
No definite date has been decided upon
for meetings and at most of the work
will devolve upon the board of trustee
future meetings will probably all be held
on calls of the president. While the
Houston organization will have to abide
by the basic laws of the central asso-
ciation Mr. Gaddy states that the as-
sociation is at liberty to draw up any
regulations for government that will not
ccnfiU't with those of the State asso-
ciation. Mr. Gaddy will make Houston his tem-
porary headquarters while conducting the
organizations of similar assoclat Ions at
the different places near this city. He
will remain in Houston only long enough
to be of assistance In the firmer estab-
lishment of the association In this cltv
and will probahly leave about the latter
paxt of next weak.

KW TO BE AFFECTED.
English Patent Law Not Important
to Americans.
Of th nw English patent law. now
In effect Inaklug void patents on goods
not manufactm rl In England represen-
tatives of American companies appear to
think that taw concerns will be affected.
Speaking from the viewpoint of a com-
pany that ha 'Its factories In England
the officer of OH of the largest electrical
companies said:
"From ouk vtOW of the case the laws
are In our favor. The subject is not one
of decided important to American manu-
facturers as a whole. It Is aimed rather
at the German trade. Only a small part
of the total of American exports to Eng-
land ciiimes undtir the patent law. Raw
materials make tip such a large percent-
age of exports -from 71 to H. per cent
that the law has not a Whta application.
"In the case of any Specialties to be

DINK B0T.
Veracious Chronicle of the Life of
a Famous Vermont Statesman.
When Harper's Weekly announced that
11 breathed more freely because "the
Hon. llourke Cochran has declared lor
Bryan; likewise the Hon. Dink Bot" the
New York Sun Inquired "Who In Ben-
jamin Franklin's so-called square Is the
Hon. Dink Bot?" To this the Weekly
replies as follows:
"The Hon. Dink Hot was born In the
house still standing across the rond from
Hen Wheeler's saw mill in tho West Part
o' Goshen gore. In the State which in
its youth was the only fret and Indepen-
dent world power th.it has ever broua'.ti-
tlit proud and haughty United States of
America to Its knees. Ills parents though
poor were honest. They had to be. There
was nothing In the vicinity worth steal-
ing His father's full name was Duncan
t. Botts which was abbreviated In con-
formity with the custom of the commun-
ity for everyday use to Dunk Bott or Bot.
Dink was named for his father and waa
called I'unkv until he grew up. Then he
became Ilnk. He won the distinction ot
'Hon.' by running for lister on the dem-
ocratic ticket. Though defeated at the
polls by the free use of money It was
openly charged he received the full party
vote his own vote his father's and Bile
Talsle's and the majority against him
wat only 112 as contrasted with 114
against his running nthte. Ham Chaae.
"Dink owed his great personal popular-
ity to his peculiar knack of saying things
that plensed the people. It waa he who
lamented his Inahlllty to heed the sage
cdvlce of the famous reacham philosoph-
er to 'sat and think some but sometimes
Just set' because so he declared there
wa'nt hardly a day passed that he didn't
think of something or other. Dink mar-
tini a Walden girl.
"Although a member of one of the beat
faaillles. she was peevish and didn't eat
very well and after awhile she petered
out. It wns on the day of the funeral
that Dink made his most famous observa-
tion to the effect that his being obliged
to ride with her mother had spoiled the
whole day for hint.
"Ieft parentless and childless there
were few home ties left fot Dink In the
gore and he went on a visit to his cousin
HI Clracy Dink's mother wns a Oraoy
If Seattle or Spokane or Tacoma or one
of those places lie is there now wearing
the helmet and honored blue of a brave
and trusted policeman As he grew older.
Dink developed a tendency to corpulence
but happily he bit upon the expedient of
following In the pollllcal wake of the
Hon. Mourke t'ockran. whom he heard
make a speech once In Ivowrll. Mass. and
the constant dancing hack and forth made
rreeeesnry by adherence to that determl-
ftlon hss kept down his weight.
'We do not understsnd that the Bun
questions the accuracy "f our ststement
respecting Mr. Bofs attitude In the pres-
ent campaign Nevertheless we do not
hesitate to admit that out Information

Inferential When the Hon. Bourke de-
clared himself we knew where the Hon.
Mink stood and speedily heralded the
glad tidings."
CHOLERA 15 RUSSIA
May Result in Freeing: Russians as
Yellow Fever Freed Cubans.
(From the New York Times)
Germany was not at nil pleased when
the T'nlted States decided that Hpanlh
misrule In Cuba had become an Intol-
erable nuisance. In addition to being a
cruel wrong In some of its applies Hons
to the Cuban people but it Is an lnt.T-
esting fact that the Berlin and other
Oernmn newspapers are beginning t. talk
about Russia and the cholera in about
the same terms In which ours used to
discuss Cuba and tha yellow fever.
Of course they do not say In so many
words that If Russia doesn't follow the
example of other nations pretexting to
bv civilised and put an end to one of
the most dangeroua. though one of the
most easily preventable of all diseases
Germany will have to atep In and do the
work heraelf with an incidental over-
throw of the existing Russian govern -iuent.
They do say. howevei . that It has
become well-nigh unendurable that all
Europe should annually be threatened

Russia neglects the sanltniv measures
requisite for stamping out the Infection

It considers a trivial detail of the situa-
tion as a whole. It happens however to
be the detail which directly affects tha
neighboring nations much more than
do" the hanging and banishment to Si-
beria of Russian rebels or the crushing

The Chjbans undoubtedly owe their re-
lease from Spain much more to the fact
that Spain did not free Havana from yel-

TRAVEL IN EARLY DAYS.
Hardships That Grumblers of Today
Know Nothing; About.
(From the Denver Field and Farm.)
The wigwam Indians who came out to
Denver from Tammany Hall traveling on
Ave special trains grouched a good deal
abiut the hardships of the journey but
thev knew nothing about the meaning of
J such things as compared with the tribula
tions of our old pioneers.
The modern pilgrim la fat and pudgy
from luxurious living while tha old boy
was as lean as Caaalus and as hungry
as a coyote. In the '60s It cost more for
meals between the Missouri liver and
Denver than Is now charged for railroad
fare and mealr added. The run to Den-
ver Is now made In something like fifteen
hours as against six days In the stage
coach period. At one time the fare from
the river to Denver was 1175 while now
It Is only tl6. The quickest time ever
made by stage between Atchison and
Denver was four and a half day.
Ben Holllday owner of the line once
traveled by special coaches from Placar-
vllle Cal.. to the Missouri river. MOO
miles In twelve day and two hours beat-
ing the regular dally schedule by five
days. The feat coat Holllday 130010.' but
It was a great advertisement for hut Una.
The stages when crowded carried fifteen
persons besides great quantities of mall
and express.
One of the coaches used on the Over-
land Line la now In tha Smithsonian In-
stitution at Washington and two or three
of them still linger tn Denver as relics
of the splendiferous past. After leaving
this route they were operated on the
Dcuwood line and were several times
captured by Indians and outlaws. Once
when captured by outlaws one of the
coaches carried W0 000 in gold. In this
attack three guards were killed.
Buffalo Bill heard that the old coach
had been abandoned and went after It.
using It for years In his Wild West show.
In I.ondon It carried the prince of Wales
and all the notables of Europe examined
It with Interest. On the Fourth of July.
1W6. this famous old coaoh was exhibited
wlln the Wild West show f Concord N
I H. where It was made. The owners and
employes of the stage coach factory rare
the historic old coach a great deal of at-
tention and in the parade It bore the
sign I "186 Home Agajn 1896." There
were HB stations on the old Overland line
from the river to California the longest
In existence 1913 miles. The fare waa
$: Of about 12 rents a mile which was
not considered excessive tn those days.
