 PATRICK HARRrsoN, aged 2l, was killed in the New York Hotel while in charge of the elevator. The car has two compartments, one below that for carry ing passengers, which is used for baggage In this at noon Harrison, who had been put in charge of the car temporarily during the illness of the regular attendant, was alone ia the passenger compartment The young man, hearing the girls laugh and talk below him, stopped the car at the third floor in such a position that kneeling on the floor of his compartment he could pat his head into recess in the wall made by window over the hall door and looked down upon them. He spoke to the girls, and with one hand still clutchipg the rope made movement o1 olya nf nf thn with the other. The strain made him weigh too heavily upon the rope. The car started, and before he could draw back his head he was caught by the neck between the floor of the car and the wall, and crushed to death before the eyes of the frightened girls. When their screams brought help it was too late. The young mans neck was broken and his chest and back crushed. Death had come instantly.

The much advertised and

middle man. can all be dupli-
Gated at D. Goslin's China
Hall, on Elm Street, where
you have the advantage Of
seeing the different styles be-
fore making selections and save
freight and delay. 1t can be
readily ascertained that in Sill
verware, Chandeliers and other
Lamp Goods, no house in St.
Louis or elsewhere receives a
better discount than does D.
Goslin. China, Tea and Din
ner sets are offered here in a
greater variety than in any re-
tail house West or South, and
importing them direct and in
unbroken packages brings pri-
ces down as low as anywhere.
Look at the Fancy Goods,
Baskets, Crockery, Looking
glasses, Glassware, Vases,
Toilet sets, etc, etc., and say
for yourselves whether the Chi

in Dallas or elsewhere.

period now before the last spike on this
great Western extension of the Texas IL
Pacific will be driven, aud the connection
between our State and the old home of the
Montezumas be consummated for all time.
The country West of us, and between this
city and FL Paso bids fair in few years to
become fhe most prosperous and populous
section OF the State, and will inevitably in
the future be tributary to and dependent
upon Dallas more than any other city of
'the Southwest, and our merchants and bus
mess men cannot too soon acquaint them
selves with the country referred to. The
most cordial relations therefore, at the ear
liest moment ought to be established with
the people along this western extension,
and one ofthe most expeditions and success
full means for accomplishing this OBJ
iect would be through the in
strumcntality Of the excursion
suggested by our contemporary What our
country wants is healthy and cordial com
mercial relations with Mexico. 1t is true
that the Texas & Pacific Railroad does not
penetrate the Republic of Mexico, yet it
touches the border, and it will ere long con-
meet with the railroad system now being
constructed in that Republic, and in an
immediate way it will prove to
be an important factor in estab-
fishing not only the warmest
friendly, but even fraternal relations
between our country and our sister Repub-
lie that loves its traditions from the days
Of the AztecS when the Montezumas were
all powerful in the land, Happily the
old animosities between Americans and
Mexicans, engendered by the border trou-
bles between outlaws on both sides the Rio
Grande, and that which survived the combats
OF Monterey, Moline del Rey, Cherubusco,
and the City ofMexico have well nigh passed
away, Akindlier feeling has sprung up and
a warm friendship is growing in strength
day by day. The railroad enterprises
and the spirit of development and advance
ment so rife on the American continent in
these latter years have brought about this
thing. In few years a civilization Mexico
never knew before will have unfurled its
banners over that country, and its unpar-
alleled resources will be brought to light.
Its productive capacities as wonderful as
ever man dreamed of, are yet to be made
known and its mineral stores are in the flu
ture to be made toyield oftheir bountes for
man'sg good The people themselves, now are
stepped in the deepest depths Of ignorance
and superstition, but with an intelligence
capable of all cultivation, will keep pace
with the times and the new day that has
dawned upon Mexico will have noontide
refulgence that will fill all the world with
its glory. So by all means we say let us of
this city and section take advantage of
every opportunity to visit and solicit this
western country and trade, and if possible
reap some of the fruits of this Mexican
commerce. Let excursions be projected
and enjoyed often and good results are
bound to cnsue.

ONE of the additions to the "press-gang"
of the State has got his mythology badly
mixed. Ifhe were not an editor we would
be inclined to fancy that Mythology
just previous to the composition of the para
graph was somewhat responsible for the
mistake This new educator of the public,
whose venture is called the "Argonaut,"
proceeds to enlighten his readers as to the
source of the name chosen for his bantling.
He says "it is named in honor of the sailor
who went from Colchis to Jason in search of
the Golden Fleece" The degree of ere
dcnce to be given to the NEUROLOGICAL and
scmi-historical criticisms of this valuable
addition to our current literature may be in
ferrcd from the fact. that it was Jason who
took vessel, with kindred Adventures, to
Colchis Tin search of the Golden Fleece"
and were termed "Argonauts," from the
name of the vessel in which they sailed,
the "Argo." A sad case, this. A man
ought to be very clear headed at least
when he is explaining to the public so i'm
portant matter as the origin of the name
selected for the head of his journal.
