la conversation recently with Mr. Ed.
Cowdin, a well informed commercial
traveler, representing Wallis, Landes &
Co, and speaking of home enterprise etc.
Mr. Cowdin said: "Isn't it strange that
the people in Texas and in the whole
south for that matter, use so little cotton
rope. Recently I sold 6000 pounds of
rope of which about 500 pounds of it
only was cotton rope and the balance
was grass rope. The grass rope costs
3 cents per pound more too and is not
as good." If the people of the south
would use cotton rope entirely, at least
250,000 bales of cotton would be used
up for its manufacture which would ben-
efit the cotton raiser just that'much.

Looking over the list of names
sent out from Austin as approved
pensioners, we were somewhat sur-
surprised to find the names of peo-
ple among the list who seem to be
able and healthy enough to make
a living if they only would work,
and some too, we find that are tax
payers, when the law plainly sayB
that only the "indigent" are en-
titled to a pension, and indigent,
what does it mean? Those who
are destitute of property, needy,
poor. A man who is able to work
and make a living, or one who
has relatives who will gladly as-
sist him, is a very poor specimen
of humanity, if he asks for a pen-
sion.

Every carpenter in the city is
busy, and has orders enough on
hand 10 "keep up the lick" for
several weeks to come. Among
the numerous improvements now
under construction throughout the
city we note: The iron store build-
ing of H. J. Laaa, now nearly
completed; the remodeling of Mrs.
Fannie Ferrell's residence; the re-
modeling of A. P. Shatto's resi-
dence; the remodeling of Otto
Goeth's residence: the purchase
by I. Louterstein of the Schrimsher
business property on North Main
Btreet, on which he proposes to
erect an up-to-date business house;
the enlargement of the Huyar
school building; and the completion
of the remodeling of
Townsend's residence. Other im-
provements of a substantial char-
acter are under consideration, and
will probably materialize later.—

A deal was consumated yesterday,
as a result of which the Hutchings
House property^passed fron the hands
of the American Steel and Wire com-
pany into the possesion of Messrs.
Neuhaus Brothers, one of whom re-
sides in Houston. The price paid
was but $50,000.
The Hutchings House property is
probably about the best known piece
of real estate in the city. It is loca-
ted on the corner of Franklin avenue
and Travis street, fronting 150 feet on
the former and extending 175 feet on
the latter. Located thereon is the
hotel, from which the property takes
its name. This structure, which is
four stories in height, was erected in
the 60s by the late W. J. Hutchins,
the entire investment representing
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$150,000. Since that time a large
amount of money has been expended
in improving the building and in put-
ting in new machinery and appliances.
In view of these facts it is consider-
ed among the real estate men of the
city that the price paid for the pro-
perty by its new purchasers was
ridiculously low. Everything in the
building—furniture, engines, boilers,
fixtures, etc. is included in the trans-
fer.
The sale of the property will in no
way interfere with the management
of the hotel business, Which is now
under the direction of Mr. Clarence
Gueringer. It is understood that the
I new owners contemplate spme exten-
sive improvements, but nothing defi-
nite along this line could be learned
yesterday. A statement to the effect
that the building would be devoted
exclusively to offices as soon as the
present lease on hotel expires, is,
however, denied.—Houston Post.

If there is reason to suspect that
there is malaria in the air around
the living quarters, one should
take from four to six grains of
quinine every day in spring and
summer, drink plenty of pure wa-
ter, avoid the night air, and al-
ways keep flannel or woolen
clothes next to the skin, If the
malaria comes from any stagnant
water or pond it should be drained! 4*
off and filled in. Before filling in
sprinkle the place thoroughly with
unslacked lime, which will tend
to destroy the food on which the
malaria germs thrive. Unslacked
lime spread over any low, wet,
miasmatic place in summer is a
good malaria antidote and preven-
tive.
In every community it is a fre-

Disinfecting a Closed Room.
After a room has been closed for
some time, especially where there
is a fireplace or grate, a sooty
smell will collect in it. This bad
order and the dampness are very
unhealthful as well as disagreeable
to the nostrils. Such a room be-
fore it is occupied again should be
purified by burning paper and cof-
fee in the grate. Grind the coffee

She said: "If your

Not only in Georgia, but in
many other states, in Texas for
one, the proportion of convictions

for punishment of homicides of
„ , I any kind, to the cases occurring, is
father gave ,J , s',
B about as in Richmond county,
shi ings to ay Q.eorg[a rJTbe distrust of the
i courts, the many avenues of es-
icape which can be found by a
I criminal lawyer, the confidence of
j the man-killer that the chances are
j only about one in a dozen that he
will ever be convicted in the
i courts, not only encourage crime,
but drive the people to take the
law in their own hands. Any
brutal or shrewd criminaf is ready
to stand his chances in the courts
if he can employ a good lawyer.
It looks in the light of the fore-
going statistics as if courts were'
organized in these days to acquit
rather than punish any criminals,
except the petty thieves or small
offenders. The technicalities that
prevail in the criminal code of
procedure are so many premiums
upon or inducements to crime.
The failure to enforce the law by
those sworn to its enforcement
leads directly to the "wave of
crime" sweeping over certain
states. Some wise and progress-
ive commonwealths have abolished
technicalities and declared that
when it is apparent from the
record that "substantial justice"
has been done, no reversal or new
trial will be allowed. When we
come to the discussion of this
question let the odium fall where
it will!
Efforts have been made in Texas
to reform our criminal code, es-
pecially of procedure, but without
success. The legislatures filled
with lawyers have refused to cut
off' such fruitful chances of keeping
murderers out of the penitentiary
or from the gallows. The law on
homicide itself is particularly
favorable to the killer. The Beau-
mont Journal, only the other day,
called attention to the fact that
"the lawyers of Texas, in session
assembled at Galveston, have gone
on record as opposed to innovation
that will simplify the practice of
their profession and make easy
the conviction of criminals ! "
Possibly it is natural that the
wmwi
lawyews shotfld want for plenty of
business, but they might be
broad and public spirited enough,
at least, to help in putting down
crime and stopping the multiplic-
ity of homicides and cold-blooded
murders that are injuring the Mr
name of Texas, hindering invest-
ments and filling scores of homes
annually with mourning and sor-
row. Humanity would require
that much of them.
The people must turn their at-
tention to the courts more closely,
and scan the records. They>must
punish unfaithful judges, sheriffs,
and juries oftener, and they will
soon remove one of the great roots
of the evil. Public opinion must
wake up! There are over 10,000
homicides a year in the United
States, more than we lost in the
late war—and Texas has far more
than its share! But who are to
blame? The people who fail to
appreciate and stop this cruel and
bloody work!—Houston Post.

On Oct. 8th your correspondent
had the pleasure of attending an
"Art Entertainment" at Ammans-
ville. Some of the pictures were
grand, especially the reproduction
of Shafter's army entering Santia-
go de Cuba and the storming of
San Juan Hill, the latter was well
worth the price of admission.

Stand by the president is the cry
of the republicans, stand by the
president, whether he is right or
wrong. Was he elected to reign
like a monarch? Was he elected
to declare war whenever it suits
him best, which
WUHam
of Russia, can not do. Was not
the president elected to see that
the will of the people is executed?
"Bounce" is the word.

Much is said and written about
patriotism. But who is the most
patriotic, the one who enlists for
the subjugation of the Filippinos
or those who stay at home? All
those who enlisted for the war witfe
Spain were patriots, but not so
with those who are enlisting for the
war now in progress in the Fillip-
pine islands. <
Again, some say that the Filip-
pinos are not fit for self-
ment. But why not? Of
they can not' have a government to
be compared with ours,
the Filippinos be
our people? They
establish a government sati
to themselves better than we are
able to doit.
The republicans must be
short sighted if they can not see
the dangers of expansion. Did they
ever realize that expansion does
not only mean to acquire territory?
A definition of imperialism or ex-
pansion as the republicans use to
call it will not be out of
1st. Expansion means
ing for more territory.
2d. The swelling of the rich
man's purse.
3d. Expansion of the poor
man's tax list.
4th. Expansion of our navy and
army.
5th. A larger field of operation.
6th. Conflicts with other na-
tions.
And last but not least, expan-
sion of our pension list.
