He Took His Hat Off.
He was only a poor little messenger

When the young woman stepped into
the elevator on the first floor, it was
crowded with men and the poor little
messenger boy.
In an instant the boy's hat was in his
hand.
Rather in a shamefaced way all the
men in the elevator followed suit
The young woman was not handsome,
but was dashing looking and seemed
self possessed. She was neatly attired
in a fashionable bicycle suit.
"You are a little gentleman of the
old school," she said to the messenger,
with a smile of approbation.
The boy looked up at her, took the
message he had to deliver out of the
crown of his hat, put the hat back on
his'head and commenced to whistle.--

Usually lack of necessary nourishment. The reason why Dr.
Ayer's Hair Vigor restores gray or faded hair to its normal
color, stops hair from falling, and makes it grow, is because
it supplies the nourishment the hair needs.
"When a girl at school, in Reading, Ohio, I had a severe
attack of brain fever. On my recovery, I found myself
perfectly bald and, for a long time, I feared I should be

Texas Live Stoc Assoi tonsio at
. . San Anto lo .'
San Xatdbio, Tex., '. nl e seventh
annual convent n of the TexaS
Live Stock association began it session
at 10:30 yesterday morning.
President John T. 'Lytels called the
convention to order and. introduced
Rabbi Samuel Marks, who invoked the
divine blessing on the convention.
Mayor Callaghan was introduced and
welcomed the delegates to the city.
He said San Antonio was always glad
to meet her friends, and he tendered
them the city's freedom, "though," he
said, "it belohgs to youalready. We
feel highly honored at your committee's
selection of our city as your
meeting place, and we hope your visitwill
be pleasant. Your deliberations
will be as pleasant to our city as to
yourselves, and personally I welcome
you on account of the early recollect!ons
of the hardships you formerly
endured from wolves and Indian depredations."Hon. W. P. Finley was introduced
and delivered the address of welcome
in behalf of the local stockmen, in a
very eloquent speech. He said San
Antonio could give them an American,
,a German, a Mexican, Democratic, Republican
and Populist and true Texas
welcome.
Hon. A. S. Reed of Fort Worth replied
in behalf of the delegates, finishing
by saying that on account of San
Antonio's well known reputation for
hospitality, he did not think that ever
a steer of them would stampede till the
whole herd left.
The report of the executive committee
was read. After prescribing the
order of business, the committee stated
*that they found the secretary's books
to be all right, and there were fortyfour
new members added since last
meeting. The expenses during the
year had been $191.55, and $80 in claims
had accrued. They had allowed the
secretary an annual salary of $200, and
when these claims were paid there
would be a balance of about $800 in the
treasury. The committee urged an effort
to secure more members, and recommended
that the officers of the
association, president, first and second
vice presidents, secretary and treasurer
and the executive committee of nine
be nominated and elected in open convention.
The report was adopted.
President Lytel's annual message
was then read. He congratulated the
convention on the advance in prices of
cattle, sheep and horses, and said it
would be well to investigate if tht,
improvement in prices was justified by
conditions, and he also recommended
that the .improvement in grades in
stock be looked after, and also the
exportation of live stock from gulf
ports, and what new markets are available.
He suggested a committee of
three be appointed to investigate the
latter subject. The message was
adopted.
The afternoon session was devoted
to the discussion of various topics, the
most important of which was: "Is the
Tick the Sole Carrier of Splentic
Fever?" Capt. John Todd read an exhaustive
paper maintaining such to be
the case. D. 0. Lively of Fort Worth
also spoke on the subject, and he advocated
very strongly the tick theory.
Both gentlemen spoke of experiments
which to their minds proved the theory.The question as to the beet breed for
beef was discussed at length.
A motion to petition the legislature
to pass the scalp*law was laid upon
the table.
Col. Joseph G. McCoy of Kansas City
made an address, as did Major T. S.
McMaurray of Denver, Col., and Judge
John D. Fleming of that city. The addresses
of the two latter gentlemen
were in the nature of an invitation to
the convention to attend the meeting
of the National Live Stock association
at Denver on the 25th of this month.
A delegate from Galveston has arrived
here to participate in the very
important discussion as to the best
means of transporting cattle.
A grand banquet was given last
night in honor of the stoekmen.Woman Found Dead.
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 19.-A courier 9rrived
in the city yesterday morning
and reported finding the dead body ot
a Mexican woman in the suburbs. The
flesh was intact and had the appearance
of being dead only a few days.
The head, arms and legs had been
cut off close to the trunk and carried
off. Near by a woman's stocking was
found. The authorities have the matter
in hand.

EMrs. Lane, Daughter Af Senator 'lack- 'lburn, ReeeiVes a'Sbvere Woud' . J
iWaasfiito~n, Jpn. 1?.-Mrs. Lucilfe.
Lane, youngest daughter of ex-Seniator
Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, shot herself
in her apartment at the Wellington
hotel Saturday night. According
to the statement given cut by 'the
family the shootin- was accidental.
Both of Mrs. Lane's physicians refuse
to discuss the subject even to the extent.
of saying whether or not the
wound would pove fatal, but from the
best that can be' learned she will probably
recover, although now suffering
from the shock.
A friend of the family nominated to
give out a statement of the occurrence
says that about midnight on Saturday
night Mrs. Lane was preparing to retire.
Her husband at the time was in
the adjoining room looking over the
paper. Mrs. Lane opened a bureau
drawer to get a handkerchief and
picked up a handful of gloves and lace
which had been tossed together in the
drawer. Under this fluffy mass was
a tiny lady's pistol, a gift to Mrs. Lane
from. her father and a possession of.
which she was particularly proud. It
caught in a piece of lace as she raised
her hand and falling of its own weight
struck the hammer on the edge of the
open drawer.
The pistol exploded and the ball
penetrated her left breast. What bcame
of it is impossible to say. According
to the statement given out it
struck a rib and ranged around beneath
the left shoulder, making only
a superficial wound.
Mrs. Lane is suffering so from the
shock that the physicians have devoted
all their energies to rallying her
without attempting to definitely ascertain
the extent of the injury. The
most precise statement that either
physician would make last night was
that Mrs. Lane would probably live
until morning. At the request of the
family the block in which the hotel
Is situated has been roped off.
Senator Blackburn is deeply affected
by the occurrence. He does not live
with his daughter and when the affair
occurred was summoned from his
room on New York avenue, remaining
thereafter at Mrs. Lane's hotel.
Lucille is the youngest of Senator
Blackburn's two daughters. She was
married in 1875 to Thomas F. Lane, a
prominent business man and politician
of Summit, N. J. At the time of the
marriage Mr. Lane was a chief of division
in the treasury department
subsequently he accepted a place with
the Maxim Arms company of New
York as their agent in Washington.
The position is reputed a good one and
the Lanes had apparently always an
abundance of money, which they spent
freely, living at a fashionable hotel
and seeming to lack none of the good
things of life. Their Little girl, something
over a year old, was one of the
favorites about the house with all who
knew her and the particular pride of
her mother. Mr. and Mrs. Lane, according
to those who saw them every
day, were very much attached to each
other, and ahb, while of slight physiquo,
was in excellent health.
Mrs. Blackburn ha. been telegraphed
fer. Mrs. Lane's eldest sister, Corinne,
