The Opening of the Volksfest.

The right idea OF putting the people in good
humor fer the Volksfest gave origin to the
burlesque procession which paraded our
streets last night. 1t reminded us of the car
nival, and was in every way success.
The night was perfectly beautifnl-the
weather delicious and the moon was full and
brilliant, and the streets were crowded with
thousands of people old and young, and when
the fun began the highest good humor was
evinced by the people.
As the sound of music broke upon the ear
there was cry of ''here they are" and all
was attention. Presently the red fire on Com.
merce street illuminated the scene, and then
on came the procession. There was the
herald, John Beckmann, who was very well
dressed in fancy costume, and our portly
friend, Herman Breusing, as deputy marshal.
The band of the 22nd infantry, Lightning
dribing the sea serpent's car, which
was illuminated. showing the legend
"Veni Vide Vici," or as it was in
accurately written ''Vene Vide Venc." Then
came Barnum and his miniature circus and
caravan, which were the sources of consider
able amusement, as also was the group 'Betty
and the baby" There was the U. S. mail,
guarded by krupp cannon, which the mail
robbers kindly say they don't rob, and vari-
ETY. of wagons of various kinds. Many of our
prominent citizens were encased in the repre-
sensations of the various birds and animals
forming part of the procession, and those suf-
fered martyrdom intense heat. Prof, Tom
Blind found an admirable representative in
the popular typo who played the ACCORDION.
The man eater and his keeper were very ef-
fective, and Professor Toby was an excellent
creation. There were SO many other charac-
tiers that to enumerate the clowns, circus
people, animals and beasts in the procession
would occupy more space than we can place
at its disposal, but It can be fairly said that the
costumes were all we'll arranged and the char
acters we'll played. There were innumerable
torches and many transparencies which had
local hits inscribed thereon, and which pleased.
Notably "What we see every day on the Mill
tary plaza" large people looking at minia-
ture fountain, and people waiting for the Ala
mo fountain. Allusions to "New.comb;"
''Sin in-a-ring," the would-be marshal: the
gamblers "medicated specialties." and 1.-THE
best brand-Chew-Gr Graves" At intervals as
the procession passed various colored fires
were ignited and fireworks were discharged
near the Menger hotel. As the procession
passed Grenet's store red fire was ignited and
the effect of the red glare over the castellated
roof of the store was so grand and real that,
amid the explosion Of fire works, it would not
have taken any great stretch of imagination to
have thought that we were back again in the
historic days ofthe Alamo, and that the enc
mics Of the independence were again attacking
the fortress of freedom.
There was universal appreciation on all
sides for the excellent manner in which the
procession had been designed and executed,
and few will begrudge the Woodworking COM
mite the mead Of praise which was deservedly
| awarded to them.

A Remarkable Operation

boy named Hernandez who had his skull
seriously fractured by the kick of mule on
Riz's rancho, was recently, brought to the
city for medical treatment. He was then in
an unconscious state, paralysed on one side,
unable to eat, and in fact, unable to do any,
thing more than breathe. DR.. Adolph Herf.
was called, and he soon found that the frac-
ture was very serious one, extending over
the skull, and there existed great depres sion
of the brain which could only be relieved by a
repanning operation. This was performed
on Tuesday, and it was then found that in
addition to large clot of blood, about
twelve fragments of bone were imbedded in
the brain. 1t was also apparent that there
was no pulsation of the brain. The bone was
removed and the skull raised by
which means the depression was re-,
moved.
The result is that pulsation of the brain has
been restored, paralysis removed, the boy
can hear and understand what is said, and is
able to do many things he had not the power
OF doing before the operation.
There appears to be no doubt that the boy
will recover. In any case the operation is a
remarkable one. testifying to the service ire
panning renders in such cases, and to the
skill OF the operator, DIR. Adolph Herff.

Progress OF Education In Japan.

The seventh annual report of the
Japanese Minister of Education states
that there are %. .025 common schools In
Japan, of which 16, 10 are public, and
the remainder private; there being an
increase of 1,316 and 125 respectively,
as compared with the previous year.
The number of high schools is lot pub
lie and GIT private there being an In
crease of AZ and 63 respectively. Be-
sides the above. many Kindergarten and
primary schools were established. These
private schools, even now, play most
important part in Japanese national life
and education. Many of them have
hundreds of students attracted by the
fame of single teacher. Youths flock
from all parts of the country to sit at
the feet of a renowned scholar, MS men
did in Europe to hear Abelard. The
most celebrated of these leaders OF
youth-for this they are, rather than
simple schoolmasters in our sense of the
the words Mr.. Fukusawa, of Toxic,
whose translations from European books
and original works on the political and
social questions of the day are read far
and WIDE in japan.
The students of this gentleman fill
many of the most important Offices in
the state; some of them recently formed
themselves into patriotic society, and
established newspaper, in which the
acts of the government are subject to
much csustic criticism. Long after the
ordinary educational work of their
teacher is done, and the young men have
gone out into the world to do for them
selves, they continue to reside near him,
TO study under his direction, and to form
classes in which important public ques-
tions can be freely discussed under his
guidance. One of his classes translated
the whole of Adam Smiths wealth OF
Nations into Japanese, with annota-
tlons. and many other impoi tant Euro
pean works, especially those on phtloso-
ply and politics.

Thus he spoke, CHEEKY and kind
while Mrs. Montagn Prout famed her
self, cousin Herbert Haller did battle
with the flies and wasps, Mrs. Johnson
followed her four children about IN
ceaseless terror lest they should be
drowned, and aunt Sadie felt her dogs
pulse and groaned over the heat.
One night at the cottage settled the
question of "to stay or not to stay" IN
the mind of Mrs. Haven's guests.
81 never slept in such hot place in
my life" said Mrs. johnson.
"The bed WIS not long enough for
me to stretch myself out in, and the
caves touched my forehead, " said cousin
Herbert.
1.-The owls hooted all night in the
woods" said aunt Sadie "and kept
dear little Trip barking until he was
hoarse."
az wouldn't stay here il you would
pay me hundred pounds a week, "
said Mrs. Montagu Prout, thinking OF
her pink silk party-dresses, and twelve
buttoned kid gloves.
-"Well," said uncle jerks drily, 'it

So the company departed. with
various adieus and insincere protesta-
tions of regard, and only uncle Jenks
was left and then Mr.. Haven took his
cigar ont from between his lips.
"Uncle JenLs," said he, suppose

"Mine, said Mr.. Haven.
"Don't y u live here ?" asked uncle
jerks.
"Not all the time" said Mr.. Haven
smiling.
1--WE only cam here to accommodate
such of oar relations as merely desired
to make convenience of u.s."
"Oh |" said uncle jerks, q slow smile
beginning to break over his shrewd
face,
And Mary Haven confessed that her
husbands advice had proved excellent.
Uncle jerks, the one of the troop
who really cared two straws for them,
was with them stin-the rest had all
been frightened away by the rusticities
of the Windermere cottage.
"And wish them bon vOyGge. said

Texas preachers are said to be very
eccentric, and their mild unnaturalness
has given rise to great many remarks
and few stories. The following nara.
tive was told us confdentiAlly by Sian.
derer:
A minister arose before a large audi.
ence, took his text. and began preach.
ing. A brisk firing of pistols began on
the ontside OF the church.
''Brother Deacon" said the minister,
az believe those fellows are casting
insinuations ct me. In fact, am very
nearley convinced" he continued, as a
piece of plasteriDg fell from the wall
close at his head.
al Think, parson. that it refers to
some one else, ;" replied the deacon.
The minister raised tnmbler of water,
and was in the act of applying it to his
lips when the glass fell shattered by @
shot.
"This is an innuendo no longer, said
the minister, wiping the water from his
vest; "this is what I term an unmlstaka-
ble thrust. The congregation will please
sing while go out and investigate the
matter. Is there another preacher in
the house?"
"Yes. said man throwing down o
stick which no had been whiting, aris-
ing and pulling at the waist of his pants
like man who has just Strengthened up
after setting out row oftobacco across
O broad field.
''Got on an extra?"
Yes"
"Unlimber.
The whiting preacher handed over
large Remington pistol, which the
insulted preacher took and drawing one
from his belt, started out. After going
out there was an immediate improv-
ment In the firing business. 1t was de-
cidedly more life-ike. insomuch that the
deacons sat working their fingers.
After while the minister returned, and
placing an ear and the nostril and half
OF nose on the pulpit remarked: "He
that hath ears to hear, let him behave
himself" The sermon then proceeded
without interruption.

marched him off to q clothing store and
fitted him out in the nobbiest rig to be
had for coin. Then the old gent In
vited all the neighbors, and killed fat
cali, and gavethe biggest blowout the
camp ever SEEN"
At the conclusion Of the narrative the
speaker paused, evidently framing in
his mind a proper application OF the
story. Before he could resume a tall,
blear-eyed gambler. with fierce NOUS
tache, arose and said:
"Tain't me as would try ter break up
a meeting. or do anything disreigious.
No, sir; I am not that sort of q citizen.
But in all public hoo-doos it is q parlia-
mentary rule for anybody as wants to
az questions to rise up an fire them off.
l do not want ter fool away time ques'
tioning the workings of religion; oh, no.
AS long as it Is kept in proper bounds,
and does not interfere with the boys in
their games, I do not see as it can do
harm. i just want ter az the honorable
speaker if he bas not given himself dead
away2 Does it stand ter reason that q
bloke would feed upon corn husks when
there was hash factories in the camp?
Would anybody hev refused him the
price of square meal if he had struck
them for 1t? Would any OF the dealers
that beat him out OF bis coin see HIM
starve? As remarked afore, do not
want to make any disrespectable breaks
but must say that got it put up that
the speaker has been trying ter feed us
on cussed thin tafy. and no one but a
silly would take it up"
Bill glarel upon the speaker and
fairly hissed:
"Do you mean to say that 1 am a
liar ?"
"Well, you can take it just as you
choose. Some folks would swallow it
in that shape"
Bill pulled his revolver, and, in an
instant, the bright barrels of numer-
ous weapons flashed in the air as the
friends of each party prepared for ac-
tive duty. The brevet preacher was the
first to fire and the rasn doubter OF
spiritual truths fell ON the ground.
Shot followed shot in quick succession
and when quiet was again restored a
score or more of dead and wounded
men was carried from the tent. Having
secured attention. Bill said:
Further proceedings is adjourned for
the day. You will receive the doxolo-
gy."
The audience arose.
"May grace, mercy, and peace be with
you, now and forever, amen. And 1
want it distinctly understood that I am
going to maintain proper respect for
the gospel if 1 have to croak every son
of-a-gun of sinner in the mines. Meet
in is out F."
The crowd fled from the tent as cool
ly as If nothing extraordinary had oc-
CURED, and man remarked:
"Bill has got the sand to make q
bang-up preacher, and I would not
wonder if he made q big mark in the
world yet"
