FAsHiONABLE FOOLIsuNEss

There is no modern fashionable no.
ton quite so absurd as the generally
received idea that to be beautiful and
attractive woman must possess wan,
spirituelLe face and figure ofsylph-like
proportions-a fragIlity in nine cases
out of ten the result of disease. By
many fashionable bellies it is considered
a special compliment to be spoken of
as frail and delicate. They forget that
the naturally delicate face and petite
figure are very different from the pale
and dlsease-stricken faces that meet US
in the city thoroughfares, look out
from the luxuriant carriages of wealth,
and glide languidly through our crowd
ed drawing-rooms. If disease were
Questionable, as it ought to be, not q
lady in the land but would take every
possible precaution to secure the fresh,
blooming face and well-rounded figure
that only health can give. Ladies
should remember that much as gentle
men may profess to admire the face
and form paled and emaciatsd by DIS
ease, when they choose a wife they
prefer blooming, healtbful, buoyant-
spirited woman. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the acknowledged STAN
dsrd remedy for female diseases and
weaknesses. It has the two-fold ad-
vantage of curing the local disease and
imparting vigorous tone to the whole
system. 1t ID sold by druggists.

A WOMAN who gave her name as
Mary Carter, and who says she halls
from Dallas and California, was res
cued from the Colorado Sunday night
about ~ o'clock by Policemen Chene-
vile and Farrell and others. When
discovered she was roosting on a log
in the river near one of the bridge piers.
How she got there no one can tell and
who she Is none can tell. Cheneville
thoght her q mermaid, but Farrell was
certain she was ''fsllen ANGEL" but
whatever she was and however she got
there, they resolved to bring her out.
She was pleased with her situation and
sat serenely watching the placid water
flowing gently by her, certain that she
was out of the sight and reach of cruel
men. But she was mistaken. Police
men Cheneville and Farrell passed that
way and they can see a woman as far
in the darkness as most people can a
headlight on an engine. When they
got to polling and wadIng around in
the river, Mary raised her gentle voice
and threatened to vacate that log and
plunge to the bottom of the river I'M
less left alone, but those two police
men are persuasive and handsome and
she could not resist. The mermaid or
''fallen angel" as wet as drowned
chicken, was carried to the shore and
to police headquarters. The scene was
a novel one. People who noticed the
trio passing up the Avenue imagined it
very bold that two men should hug one
woman at the same time. Mary had
been seen a night or two before by the
bridge man wandering about the river.
She is not only ''little off" mentally
but she is crippled in limb. Austin Is in-
debted to Dallas for this acquisition to
her population, as she is to Houston
for another object of charity that
stands about the streets on crutches.

HoRsE TurEyEs OEoAS1zEp.-Th.

Horse THIEVES ORGANIZED. Tina:
there Is thorough organization
among horse thieves in this part of the
State is well understood, and we are
astonlshed that it has not been broken
up ere this. The thieves are said to
be organized IN squads and pairs in
different sections, and to have differ
ent duties assigned them. Some do
the stealing, Others take charge of the
animals and remove them to different
towns and places; some lie around and
furnish thieves with information, and
there are still others who finally re-
celve the stolen animals and sell them.
There has been considerable horse
thief talk in this city the last two
days, and though officers are very reti-
cent, still 1t is evident that there Is a
move on foot to break up the horse
thief organization and bring its lead
ers to grief. The people demand
this, and unless it be done, after what
is now known, officers themselves will
be looked upon with suspicion, and
the people will not hesitate to protect
themselves by taking the law in their
own hands and Kidding the community
of all suspicious characters. The men
who arrived here from Bastrop We'd
nesday looking for stolen horses found
two of them in pasture near Austin.
Now let the officers find out, if they
do not already know, who owns or
controls that pasture. Let them sIft
the whole business to the very bottom
and the people will stand by them
Perhaps the STATEsMAN may give
further information soon. 1t will not
hesitate to make known all the officials
and others know.

THE FIRST Picnic OF THE SEASON.
The second and third grade of boys
and the third grade Of girls of the
Austin Graded School, on last Friday,
about IL o'clock A. NJ, repaired to a
nice grove on ShOal creek, near Gen.
Shelley's, to open the picnic season.
The day was lovely, and soon about
sixty-fYe children were engaged in the
most lively and earnest amusements,
and continued to enjoy themselves,
talking, walking, running, swinging,
ETC., until about l o'clock, when they
we're called together for refreshments,
and soon gathered around a most
sumptuous repast. Every conceivable
good thing that could well be thought
of was on hand and in bountiful guam
titles, so that sll were fully able to
say loltat a dinner! The children were
watched in their hours of JOY by their
faithful teachers, Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
Morris and Miss Burnham, who were
delighted to see them so joyous and
happy.

The SAENGERFEsT.- twelfth an
niversarY of the Ssengerfest, which
will be celebrated In this city on the
fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth of
next month. will call to Austin the
largest concourse of people that has
been seen In this city for years. The
railroads are offering low rates, and
this will induce people to come from
distant places. The grand concert, by
800 singers, will be given at Millett's
Opera House, and the matinee concert
and picnic will take place at Pressler's
garden. No doubt the International
will run a special train every few min
utes to and from the garden TO
accommodate the moving masses. The
city will be beautifully illuminated at
night with calcium lights and fire
works, and there will be grand torch
light procession to Turner Hall. The
national orchestra of St. Louis has
been engaged to take part in this
grand musical event, and the manage
ment are determined to make this the
most imposing and long-to-be-remem-
bered celebration and musical treat
that has ever taken place in Texas.

The fire in the Federal court room,
Brueggerhof building, originated
from the stove and was discovered by
Mr.. Barrow, of the market, who gave
the alarm at 8: 80 by ringing the bell
vigorously. One window burned out
aud the floor and furniture IN the
northwest corner of the room were
damaged and the entire room smoked
up badly, while the mating on the
door received good soaking. Most
of the putting out the Gre was done,by
parties who arrived ahead of Colorado
company No. 3, which was first on the
ground. They attached 3 local
hose to faucet IN the hall on the third
floor and did quick and effective
work, the Messrs. Ruffini and Mr..
Thorn being very active. But for the
presence Of hose and water on that
floor the fire would have had better
start and the damage been greater.
The fire department, however, re-
sponded promptly and in time to stop
the IRE had it not only been brought
under control. Plenty of water and
facilities for using it are highly essen
eial in giving formidable battle to
flames. The damage to the building
is probably less than 800, and this
falls on insurance companies.

THE publication of the anonymous
communication signed g., rejecting on
officeholders, past and present, would
do no good. 1t matters not whether
those who have in the past made money
by Office, or whether those making mon
ey by Office now, are less liberal than
others or not, or less enterprislng.
We see no indication of any of our
citizens, old or young, rich or poor,
dong anything of public nature to
help the town, and until some
thing is proposed it is iDvidi-
GUS to make distinctions. No doubt
those who have held good paying
offices in the past, or those holding
them now, will do as much for the
town and the county, whenever S. can
show that anything is proposed, as
anyone else. 1t is plain proposition,
however, that any man having a SAL
airy of from $500 to $4,000 a year
could afford to take more stock in any,
thing than man who makes but $500
or $1,000, other things being equal.

LAST year less than 10 900 bales OF
cotton was shipped from Austin, and
tins year the shipments will hardly 60
above %, 900 bales. Austin shipped
some wool, hides and pecans, and the
lime business has been very fair. But
this years trade has served to illus
trate that while Austin may hold her
own very we'll on her present trade,
yet that she cannot grow and prosper
on the shipment of $1,000 bales of cot
ton and equally light shipments OF
wool, hides, lime and pecsns. Let
this, then, be understood and admit
ted, that those interested in Austin's
growth may govern themselves accord
ingly. Austin must be made a center
for trade, and to that end we must
have enterprises here that will call peo-
pie to Austin and give employment to
large population. If a wooden mill
will pay in New Brsunfels and an oil
mill in Hampstead, the same will pay
here. Hereafter let us have more mills
and factories and less houses and
