When Men Mean 1t.

been wooed eleven times, and knows
good deal about it, assures me

Platonic friend" she says, begins to
offer gifts, costly according to his
means, depend upon it the affair has
become business with him, as well
as with YOU" The American mis-
sionary, Judson, possessed a valuable
watch which he bestowed in success
sion before marriage upon each of
his three wives; when he offered it to
the third object of his affections, he
stated that it had the desirable pro-
perty of always returning to him,
bringing the beloved wearer with it.
Be sure the wise and prudent man
would never have parted with his
watch, unless he had been firmly per
suaded that he was making a good
investment, safe to bring him in large
and clear returns. When a costly
offering is laid upon the shrine, the
offerer means worship.

The Dallas City Bank FOrger.

New YORK Jan. 27.-John Stuart,
alias George Coleman, who was ar
rested for forgery committed in Dali
las, cut his throat to-day as he. was
being taken to the train for removal
to Texas. Stuart was arrested on
Monday night, after having been I'M
der surveillance for about month.
President J. G. O'Connor of the Dallas
City National bank came on in
answer to a telegram and identified
him as the man who had got the bank
to cash forged draft for $4,000. To-
day the papers were ready, and John
W. Spencer, a Texas officer, and Pres
ident OConnor announced themselves
ready to take the prisoner away. He
was turned over to Spencer. 1t was
decided that the 6 o'clock train on
the Pennsylvania road, which runs
through to St. Louis, was the best
one for the party to take. They left
police headquarters in a coach at 80
o'clock. Detectives Reilly and Won
Geirchten accompanied them, intend
ing to see them safely aboard the
train at Jersey City. On this account
the irons with which Spencer was
provided were not upon the prisoner.
1t was intended to iron him aboard
the cars. When they arrived in the
ferry-house at the foot of Desbrosses
street Mr.. O'Connor and Detective
BELLY stepped to the office to get the
tickets. They were engaged some
minutes, having also to inquire con-
cening the connections and other
details of the trip. Spencer and Won
Genchten with the prisoner, stood a
little apart from the others. A cry
from Won Gerichten suddenly drew
attention to their prisoner. He had
taken from his pocket and opened un-
observed small penknife which he
had labbed into his neck with suffi-
Gent force and skill to puncture an
important vein, and had then thrown
away the knife. The detectives at
tempted TO staunch the flow OF blood
with handkerchiefs, as they hurried
otuart along to a drug store at Green
Wleh and Desbresses streets. He
made strenuous efforts to tear the
handkerchiefs from the wound. At
umes he fought so fercely that it took
al four men to hold him and the
wound bled uninterruptedly and copi-
0usly until he could be mastered again.
N the drug store temporary band
age was finally got into place and an
ambulance was summoned. The am
ouianee surgeon bound up the hurt
more strongly and hurried the patient

Railroad Building In Texas,

A correspondent of the Globe Demo.
crat says railroad construction in
Texas has virtually ceased since the
recent completion of the Galveston,
Harrisburg & San Antonio railway
to a connection with the Southern
Pacific. The only line actively build
ing at present is the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe railway, who are engaged
in completing their branch from Lyon,
on the main line, east to Navasota, to
connect with the Montgomery and
Navasota road, which was purchased
by the above company last summer.
Work has been severely retarded on
this branch in consequence of Difficult
ties in bridging the Brazos river.
These, however, have been overcome,
and the bridge is now in place, and in
the next two months this branch will
be open for general traffic, when work
will cease. Mr.. George Sealy, presi-
dent of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Fe railway, in reply to the interroga-
tory if his company intended to extend
their main line northwest from Lam
pasas, its present terminus, or their
Dallas division northeast from Dallas
to Paris, in Lamar county replied
that nothing would be done in this
direction by his company until it was
seen what action the legislature would
take in reference to railways; that
unless more favorable Legislation was
had, and some of the acts of the pre-
ceeding Legislature, which were
INIAuCAL TO RAILWAY EXPANSION,
and worked a severe hardship upon
roads which were built through thinly
populated portions of the state were
repealed, he did not know that his
company would feel justified in ex-
tending their lines as indicated, and
he believed this was true of all other
lines under construction in the state.
If, however, the Legislature adopted a
liberal and wise policy in reference to
RAILWAYS and enacted no restrictive
measures, he believed railway build
ing would be vigorously renewed in
the state by all roads not completed
to their objective points, and project
ed lines put upon practicable basis
Of construction. The rapid progress
of the state in the past ten years in
population and taxable wealth, Presi-
dent Sealy held, was largely due to
the railways, and that it was the hope
Of the progressive men of the state
that the present Legislature would re-
peal some of the obnoxious features
of the laws past by the last Legislature
and enact laws that will be equitable
alike to the people as well as the rail.
ways that have done so much to en-
rich the state, and encourage them to
carry forward their enterprise to a
successful completion, and unless this
was done he looked upon it as a
breach of faith" upon the part of the
law-making power of the state.

And He Dyed.

A well citizen on the East
Side possessed horse which was q
model beast in every respect but one;
the animal was marked with several
white spots in such manner that his
appearance was anything butattractive.
The owner resolved to dispose of the
beast. So meeting well -known jock
ey of this city bargain was struck
between the two, and the animal fell
into the hands of the horse dealer.
Naturally the citizen wanted another
stopper to take the place of the one
sold. Accordingly after few days
had elapsed he went to the self-same
jockey who bought his horse, for the
purpose of making % purchase. The
dealer exhibited all the animals in the
stable. The citizen after carefully
inspecting the lot finally settled upon
very handsome beast, with shapely
limbs and colored just to suit him.
The money was paid over and the
horse driven home. But alas after
several weeks the white spots began
to appear on the animals body, and
the citizen soon discovered to his sor-
row that he had been sold, and that
the horse was the identical one which
he had sold, the spots having been
dyed. The jockey made about 500
by the operation and glories in his
acknowledged (Me.) Journal.

Value of Western Cattle.

It is stated that the advance in the
price of cattle in Texas in five years
has been 140 per cent. The advance
cannot be attributed, as the casual OBJ
server might imagine, to speculation,
or to bulling the market by moneyed
operators, but to far more satisfactory
causes. Increased market facilities,
occasioned by the building of new rail-
road lines and the development of the
country, have added 40 per cent to
the value of cattle since 1873. The
improvement in handling cattle, has
added 10 per cent, and still another
10 per cent. has been added to the
quality of the stock by the improve
ment of native ranges. Native grass
es are not only better, but water facil-
tiles are improved. In the old free
ranges good grass and good water
were frequently far apart, but now by
a system of tanks, the cattle may eat,
drink and lie down to rest, all in the
same neighborhoOd.
The infusion of good blood by the
use of thoroughbred males has increas-
ed the value of the cattle. 40 per cent.
over the old type of Texas long horns.
The Fort Worth Journal sums up
the advance Of the last five years made
in cattle, amounting to 40 per cent.
as follows:
