Mr.. ALFRED SPEER. Sir: The
visit which | made last year to your
Vineyards, wine-presses and vaults at
Passaic, n. j., satisfies me thoroughly
that the wines produced by you are
pure and unadulterated, and the very
best that can be offered to the public
for medicinal uses.
Acting upon my favorable impress
sion at the time, | have since recon-
mended the Port Wine; more partic-
ularly in my practice, and am satisfied
with marked benefits to my patients
There can be no better proof to the
doubling mind, as to the Wine being
made of the finest Oporto Grape, than
a visit to the acres Of land covered
with the vine bearing the luxuriant
fruit. Wishing you success in youl
praiseworthy enterprise,
| remain respectfully yours,
AGEx. E. Mort, NJ D.,

Abundance of Cotton SEED.

The STATESMAN has often called at
tention to the advantages of Austin as a
location for cotton seed oil mills, not the
least among which Is the abundance of
cotton seed in the vicinity which can be
procured at reasonable rates. The near
est mills being about one hundred miles
away gives the mills at Austin a scope
of fifty miles each way. The annual
productions of this territory is estimated
at about 100, 900 tons, white the mill will
not require over 5000 to 1000 to-s. With
railways penetrating this territory in four
different directions, an ample supply can
be obtained from the gins along their
routes, in addition to the supply to be
obtained from the country by wagons.
Austin is to be congratulated upon the
long-wished for establishment of a cotton
seed oil mill here, and the addition of so
important an enterprise to the manufac-
turing industries of the city.

The Method of Creation.

Mr.. Beecher recently preached
upon the method of creation, taking
his text from st. Paul. 1t was evil
dent from the teachings of the New
Testament, he said, that in the flu
ture the change in men would be as
it had been in the past, from the
lower to the higher-a constant
evolution. 1t was an easy way to
dispose of difficult problems to say
that they were not to be thought
about, as they could not be solved.
If one merely inferred from the
nature of the world it would
be easy to argue for disbelief
in Christianity. Destruction was
the keynote in the worlds organi-
zation. One part of the animal
kingdom lived upon another part.
Organized ferocitles were repre-
sented by such animals as the lion,
tiger and shark. While poetry was
being written about the curving
flight of the swallow, the bird was
simply devouring thousands of in
sects. From the tiniest worm up to
man, the whole animal race but
chered, and man was the bloodiest
butcher of all. All the other
ANIMALS ate animals to make them
selves ready for mans table. Man,
scented, perfumed and curled-the
gentleman, the orator, the poet, the
philosopher-all were always eat
ing and eating. Those who believed
in the fall of Adam held that that
brought about the perversion of
mans nature and developed destruc-
tiveness; that by the ignorant blum
der of two innocent human beings
God changed everything, making
the lion a meat eater and changing
the form of his teeth. Such reason
ing was puerile, if not idiotic. The
prevalent ideas of theology were
more largely drawn from Milton
and the Westminster catechism
than from the Bible.
The lower the development, said
Mr.. Beecher, the less pain ami
mails suffered. The harpoon caused
more pain to the whale than
the whales swallowing of N.Y.
riades of animalcule did to them.
All development, however, tended
to decrease pain by substituting
pleasure for it. Step by step the
law of benevolence gained. The
highest Development was to suffer
ones self to prevent suffering in
others.
In conclusion, Mr.. Beecher said
that the tendency in all Gods world
was to get rid of pain and suffering.
He did not believe that God had a
place walled up and set apart for
them. They went beyond this life,
but were limited. The effect of pain
here and hereafter was to drive men
to obedience.

The Trade i'm False Hair.

The demand for false hair has increas-
ed and the supply diminished to such an
extent that the coiffeurs of London and
Paris are on the brink of despair, such
difficulties do they encounter in satisfy
ing the requirements of their customers.
Europeans, says the Lancet, twill not
sell their hair, or have no longer any hair
to sell and the trade has been compelled
to travel further afield. The actual sup
ply of false hair for the European mar
kets is now for the most part imported,
via Marseilles, from Asia Minor, India,
China and Japan. But the hair import
ed from these countries is almost IN
variably black, and fails utterly to har-
monte with the auburn and golden tints
that so well befit a northern complexion.
1t has therefore been found necessary
to boil the hair in diluted nitric acid to
deprive it of its natural color, and it can
then be dyed to the tint most in vogue.
This operation has, however, been at
tended with considerable danger to the
workmen engaged in this new handi-
craft. Severe coughs, bronchitis and
other accidents were the natural results
of the nitrous vapors escaping from the
cauldrons used for boiling the hair. This
new danger appears to have been discov-
cred by DR.. Felix, of Eucharist, and the
Roumanian council of hygiene has issued
circular to all members of the trade
warning them of the danger and suggest
Dg necessary prec autions.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
A Reporters Talk with Judge
Fillmore.

A representative of the STATESMAN yes
terday called to see Hon. u. L. Fillmore,
Judge of the county court of Travis coun-
", and ex-officio chairman OF the county
school board, and intimated to that af-
fable and agreeable gentleman that some
Information with regard to the schools
and school children of the county would
prove interesting matter to the readers of
this paper. Judge +. signitied his will
ingness to afford any information in
his possession, but stated ut the pres
ent time IL Is almost impossible
TO form any very correct estimate as to
the outcome of the present or succeeding
scholastic year. He stated that certiti-
Gates from the different school communi-
ties have been coming in rather slowly,
and that out of ninety communities In the
county only about thirty, or one-third,
have been heard from. The time for
sending In these certificates ends on the
first day OF August, and those that are
not In by that time will be barred. and
the community thus falling be cut of
from all participation In the berefits OF
the public school fund. II Is important,
therefore, that this matter be attended to
at once, and Judge Fillmore urges that
certificates be sent in without further
delay.
According to the last census there are
In Travis county, outside of Austin. 3497
children within the scholastic years, an
increase over the year previous of $50,
there being last year 32l7. The amount
OF the fund given to these children from
the public revenue Is 81, 064 Go, or three
dollars aud forty-hve cents per capita. In
addition TO this there are TO the credit OF
this fund S239S.63 LEFT over from last
year. The latter surplus thus applied

ooLoRED NORMAL SCHOOL.
Fine Attendance ana Successful
Session In This City.

The summer normal school for the
colored teachers opened ut Austin, under
the direction of Prof. j. n. Carleton,
president of the State Normal school of
Connecticut, on July g. The attendance
from the first has been good, with num-
bers constantly increasing. Among the
most interested and enthusiastic of those
attending are an eX-member of the legis-
lature from Galveston, an Austin city al
derman and the pastor OF u leading Bap-
list (colored) church.
Prot. Carleton Is giving, with great
success, n course of practical lessons in
psychology. especially in the relation of
this science to successful teaching. Ii is
needless TO say that, in this, the pro-
fessor Is subJecting the mental abilities
OF the eolOred youth TO severe test,
aud he expresses himself highly gratified
at the readiness with which they appre-
bend and appreciate this the most difficult
and the noblest of all the sciences.
Careful instruction is given In the
theory and practice of teaching the COM
mon school branches also, in school Or
ganixation and management, with lee
lures on hygiene and care of the eyes.
Mr.. Carleton Is ably assisted by Mrs
Carleton, a teacher of great experience
and rare tact; also, by w. 4. Brooks, pres.
ident of Tillotson college, and by Mrs
Brooks In the musical department..
Without doubt, this Austin Institute in
completeness of its equipment and in the
thoroughness OF its work and In the en-
thusiasm of Its members is unsurpassed
by any other colored school now in SEES
sion in the state.

DEATH OF MRS. COOK.
A Good and Pure and Beautiful
woman Gone.

Yesterday the sad but not wholly I'm.
expected death of Mrs. Constance Ter
rell Cook, wife of Alb. H. Cook, jr, and
eldest daughter of Hon. A. w. Terrell,
was given to this community. Her ill,
ness was brief and painful, ending yes
terday morning at o'clock, when, in the
presence of loving and devoted father,
husband, children, brother and sister and
friends, she passed peacefully away.
Last Monday she was so much better that
her physicians thought her father might
safely go to Galveston, but change for
the worse necessitated his recall by tele-
gram on Wednesday.
For her perfect and aimable manners
and kind disposition her friends devoted
ly loved and admired her, while her rare
and beautiful accomplishments com.
manded universal respect from al who
knew her. No lady in the community
had more friends, and the circle in which
she moved possessed no brighter orna-
ment. She was devoted member OF
the Baptist church and died in the tri.
umphs of a Christian faith. To some
kind friend who will write her obituary
is left the tender task of giving fuller
details of her life and death. Mrs.
Cook leaves five children, and to them
and other bereaved relatives the STATES
MAN extends the heartfelt sympathy and
coincidence of the community.
The funerel Grafton was delivered al
the Captist church, and the intermeni
took place at the Bouldin cemetery, in
South Austin, the cortege being the
largest seen in Austin for years.

THE SCHOOLS,
A Few Random Notes About Our
City and County schools.

The city school board will have a
meeting to-day.
There are several teachers to be elected
by the city school board
Judge Fillmore is very busy arranging
the different school communities.
One more month of vacation, and then
the little boys and girls may hunt up
their states and dictionaries.
1t is thought the city schools will be
gin in September with a much larger
attendance than they had last year.
There are over forty public school
houses in Travis county, and the num-
Der has been increasing every year for
some time.
Sunday morning we used the wor
certificate" when it should have been
community petitions, in speaking of
the Travis county schools.
. Next Tuesday is the last day upon
which school community can be pre-.
scented to the county judge. 1t is impor.
tant that all should know this.
Last year the colored terchers in Travis
county received about twenty-five per
cent better pay than did the whites.
This was owing to the smaller number
of the former and the consequent larger
attendance of children at each school.
1t is estimated by those who have been
close observers that, within the past
year, at least seventy-five families
have removed to Austin because
of the school privileges and conveniences
alone. This speaks well for our school
system.
There are over fifty students at the
colored normal school, and the number
constantly increasing. Several visitors
from the city went out yesterday to heal
the exercises and witness the modes OF
teaching. Professor Carleton, who has
charge, is the general superintendent OF
the state normal schools of Connecticut
