Church Works Of Charity.

The good ladies Of the Baptist
church and congregation are about to
organize DorcaS society, which, as
the name implies. will seek to aid
poor widows and children by a judi
cious charity. Its main object will
be a distribution of such clothing as
may be contributed, the procuring of
medicines, giving assistance in paying
rent, obtaining fuel, etc. In no way
will it seek to foster idleness or vice,
but by discriminating charity aid the
worthy poor to become self-support-
ing. This society meets on Saturday
ut ) p. M, in basement of pastors
study in Baptist church. All ladies,
true friends of the widow, the orphan
and the helpless poor are invited to
meet with them

Another Railroad for Austin.

The International railroad com
pany has had survey made for Il
branch of their road from Austin to-
wards the country west of here, in
order to secure the immense trade
that awaits the first railroad from
that region. 1t is more than likely
that the track to the Oatmanville
quarries will be built from here In
stead Of from Summit, so as to ex-
tend it on from there to Fredericks-
burg. The Sunset is now surveying
in that country and are hurrying up
their work on account of the fact that
the International is looking that
way. A road out there would pay
and Austin is the proper place from
which to start.

Important to Dealers.

A numerous class of our readers,
who are directly interested, will do
well to note the fact that the recent
change in the international revenue
laws, under the provisions of the act
of March 3rd, 1888, repeats the special
classification of alcoholic bitters,
which has heretofore been made. On
and after July 1st, 1888, distilled spir-
its, wine, or other spirituous liquors,
when mixed with other material and
held out to the public as patent medi-
cines, or compounds under any name.
form or guise, can only be manufac-
tured by persons who have paid spec
ial taxes as recti6ers, and can be sold
only by persons who have paid spec
ial. tax as liquor dealers. This is a
serious and important change, and
brings within the liability of the
United States special tax as liquor
dealers on and after the first of July,
a multitude of merchants selling pat
ent compounds having alcohol as a
base, who are now exempt from the
liquor tax

Art DeDartment

Want of room in the st. Mary's
academy necessitated the removal
of the studio early in the spring, to
the square lately purchased by the
Sisters of the Holy Cross, in view of
erecting a new institution. A por-
ton of the small old central building,
known as "Deffan Cottage" or.
score of years previous, as the Coy
this purpose. The afternoon of the14th
instant, after the closing exercises
at the academy, the invited guests
proceeded to the studio in charge
of Sister Florentine, where work was
exhibited and prizes awarded to the
pupils who had been receiving in
structions during the term. Sister
Florentlne is a ladywho is not only pos
sessed Of remarkably fine talent as an
artist, but she is thoroughly accom-
plished in the art of imparting her
knowledge and skill to others. as the
remarkably fine work done by her
pupils will show. A STATESMAN re-
porter was allowed to go through the
study yesterday, and, of course he
feels compelled to tell few things
learned. The studio is an art room
indeed; and all available
spaces are taken up with
evidences of the skill and ability of
those taking lessons. We would like
to mention the work of all the pupils
as Indicated by cards attached to each
specimen; as there was none except
such as would compel creditable men
ton; but space forbids. Sister Flor
entine teaches directly from nature,
the only true model, after all, and the
range is, as shown in the numerous
and beautiful specimens presented,
embracing drawing in pencil work,
crayon, water and oil colors, plaque
or china decorations, paintings on fine
| fabrics, ETC., etc. The following
ladies of Austin, who have heretofore
moderately kept back the fact of their
proficiency in the "diYine art" have
| been pupils there for sometime, their
paintings are all very fine indeed
such as would command attention
anywhere Miss Annie V.

cially large Gala lily; Miss En-

| jects in perspective, directly from ma
ture, and true enough for photo
graphs.
Sister Florentine says that when
pupils go through the entire lore, they
will be fitted to stand alone in Their
work without calling in a teacher
again, unless they wish to attend the
great academies of high art in the
east; in which every girl now here
could take first rank anywhere.

in our midst, and it will pay all tC

performed his task.
The painted canvas recalls wildly
the features and expression which
may have in some degree faded from
our memories, so long has it been
since he passed from amongst US, and
took up his abode in the silent tomb.
But the mastery intellect and supe-
rior attachments of the man are re.
Elected in the records of this court,
and the reports in which it's decisions
are perpetuated.
These are the enduring monuments
of his fame, which more than paint
ing, or maj BILE, or sculpture transmit
him to posterity as one of the great
est lawyers of his time, an enlight-
ened scholar and an honest and up
right judge.
Judge Hemphill became chief JUS
tice of the supreme court of Texas
before it ceased to be a republic, and
when admitted into the American
union he was the first appointed to
that position, and held it con-
tinuously for thirteen years, when he
resigned to take seat in the United
| States senate at the universal call of
| the legislature of the state.
| He was the only connecting link
that bound the supreme court of the
state to that of the noble little re-
public which, constantly at war, adj
| ministered it's alarms in the midst of
alarms; where judg held courts
when the attacks of the enemy were
| imminent, and the fear of capture
and imprisonment was sometimes
realized.
Texas, when struggling for an ex-
istence, was as blessed in the judic-
| iary that interpreted and enforced
her laws as she was in the men who
sat in her council zAd provided meas
ures for her government, and the
brave soldiers who bore her arms.
Whilst, as has been said, our laws
were complicated. and the difficult
questions arising under them had to
be solved by resort to various and
conflicting systems of Jurisprudence
some of them written in foreign Ian
guages. We were almost without
books to assist in the investigation OF
these questions, or the means of pro-
viding for the comfort of those whose

YELLOW FEVER.
No Cases in the United States
Except at Quarantine
Stations.

WAsHIEeToN, July 9.-Surgeon
General Hamilton, Of the Marine
Hospital Service, to-day received a
telegram from E. f. Griffin, quaran .
tine officer at Pascagoula, Miss. which
stated that he found the Norwegian
bark Vego, from Vera Cruz, with
yellow fever on board. The vessel
was bound for Ship Island quarantine
station, ran aground, was pulled of
and towed to Ship Island, leaking
badly. Only three OF her crew we're
able to perform duty. Assistance is
needed. There are two vessels at the
Pensacola quarantine station, and one
sailor died from the fever and another
is in the hospital. The captain, who
was suspected Of having the fever be-
fore leaving Vera Cruz, is better. On
bark some Of the crew have been
attacked with the fever since the
death of Captain jacobson at sea.
The health reports from Matameras,
Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas, show
that no cases of yellow fever exists
there or at any other port in the
United States, outside Of quarantine.
No other vessels from Vera Cruz have
arrived at ports on the gulf coast
other than those in quarantine at
Pensacola, aud if no additional i'm
portations are made it is believed that
no danger will be apprehended.
