AT 1T AGAIN.

The Dudes and the Washers at Work in
Travis Park.
The dudes and the Washers were out in
strong force yesterday in Travis park during
the band's performance. ALFRED in their SIS
suits, for the most part yellow and white
striped, they were apparently dressed to kill.
They wandered about gazing impudently at
the girls. talking loudly and trying to make
themselves as ridiculous as they possibly
could This is, OF course, free country, and
if such men ~ will play the fool they are at
liberty to do so, but it makes observers sorry
to think that they can so far descend in the
scale Of manhood, and leads to a strong belief
in the Darwin theory that man descended
from the ape, with this addition that these
men are reverting TO their original species.

A Strange FIGHT.
A Game Chicken Tries to whip an En-
CINE, and Passes Away.

A Game Chicken Tries to whip an En-
gine, and Passes Away.
Frank Scott, better known as Rattlesuake
Bill, who lives in Newcombville, is in trouble;
not on account Of Eliza, but Of his game
chicken. 1t was real beauty and had such
spirit that Frank would not have taken SIoo
bill for it. The bird, having vanquished all
other birds, looked around, and, like the
great Alexander, sighed for other worlds to
conquer. His other world came in the form
of an engine, as he got on the railroad track
and crowed. "While live I'll crow" was
evidently his motto The engineer rang his
bell, threw water on the bird, but he fought
the engine until the cowcstcher struck him an
unluckly blow and sent him to the chickens
paradise-if they have one. Frank now
weeps for his chicken, and wants the com.
pany to dry his tears by paying its value.
Justice Adam advise him that he has nc
ground for action, but Frank says that il the
railroad company are willing TO pay for il
they can address him at the LIGHT office.

TRAVIS PARK CONCERT.

why Not Erect More Seats aud Extermi-
nate the Pesty Red Ants?
There was a large attendance in Travis
park yesterday, and although the band COM
menced the performance somewhat later than
usual it was none the less acceptable to the
many present. The bandmaster will in future
commence a little later than usual, but the
time will be advertised in the programmes
published in the LIGHT on the day previous.
Many complaints were made yesterday OF
the absence of sufficient number of seats for
the accommodation of the public and the
prevalence of the pesty red ant, which made
it inconvenient TO sit on the grass. 1t was
thought that if the city could not afford to
provide more seats they should at least do
something to exterminate the ants.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion
are present, as hatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. moisture like perspiration,
producing very dsagreeable itching, partic-
very common attendant. Blind Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosankos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
allaying the intense itching, and effeoting a
permanent cure where all other remedies have
failed. Price 30 cents. Sold by O, Sohasse, A.

PETTY THEFTS.
Another Case Indicative of the Absolute
Necessity for n Reformatory.

Necessity for Reformatory.
Yesterday a negro boy, named Willie
Searcy, entered the store of Mrs. Louis
Rhein, nearly opposite the Sunset depot, and
there. emptied the cash drawer, supposed TO
contain about Sill. The thief got clear off,
but the police are on his track.
These petty thefts by colored boys are be-
coming very numerous, and annoying. The
thieves watch the owner out of the shop, and
then seize anything that is handy, but il pos
sible in all cases make for the cash drawer
Many of the offenders are known to the
police, and have been frequently arrested but
they are too young to be dealt with as GRIM
iuals, and in the absence OF a reformatory are
released, only to commit further crimes.
These circumstances tend to show the abso-
lutte necessity for a reformatory.

The controversy between the telegraph cOmpa-
MES and their employees was brought to an abrupt
issue yesterday by the strike of the operators.
The telegraph officials are sending each other
assuring messages, and boaSting OF their
facilities for tran hitting dispatches; but 1t Is
evident that this is done In the hope OF dismaying
the strikers The truth, that the telegraph for
commercial and general business purposes Is par
alyzed, stares the public in the face. The legal
responsibility OF the companies Is question Of no
little Importance that may yet enter as factor in
compelling them TO take measures looking TO the
restoration OF facilities necessary to the public
Use and business IL Is doubtful Ii notification to
the sender OF dispatch that he must risk delay
VIII release the company from liability Tor damage
resulting from failure to deliver the telegram
within a reason bic time. II the companies keep
their offices open, and receive pay for mess yes
they assume responsibility for non-delivery or
avoidable delay. Siipulations imposed by the
company as a condition necessary to the sending
OF a message and relieving IL from liability In the
event OF failure To perform Its contract have often
been declared by the courts TO be without effect
People who pay regular tolls for the transmission
OF message are not likely TO be satisfied with the
forwarding of that message by mail. The sender
tIon for the common rates of postage 1t is due to
the public, from both sides to this controversy,
that 1t should be settled at once. III the hostile
position now existing be abandoned, and the
question Of differences approached by both sides
In calm, sensible and friendly spirit, a basis OF
settlement can be easily reached.
