1T would be difficult to get together a
larger, more intelligent and earnest audience
than that assembled last evening, at Stahls
Opera house to hear Mrs DIR. Potts open
ing lecture on physiology health and disease.
Promptly at o'clock the little Quaker lady
stepped upon the stage. She at once APP
preached her subjec with very thoughtful
and almost reverent exordium. 1t was a lee
ture, taken all in all, that brought home to
her audience the grand fact that those who
violate natures laws must suffer the most
severe penalties There was not the faintest
trace of charaltantry in the lecture, but
rather, an earnest motherly desire to do
good. The doctor has the opera house nicely
hung with magnificent oil paintings many of
which she used last evening in illustrating
the points made. Two grim skeletons stand
on either side of the stage one of which was
uncovered to show the working of muscles.
This evening the doctor will lecture on the
brain and nervous system and other diseases.

Reported Lake in Equatorial Africa.

The rumors concerning the exist
ence of another vast equatorial lake
in Central Africa, lying far to the
west of the Albert NyanZa, which
have reached Europe from time to
time since Sir Samuel Bakers first
visit to the Upper Nile region, appear
finally to receive definite confrma-
ton. Mr.. +. Lupton. governor of the
Egyptian province of Bahr-el-G hazel,
in communication dated "Dehm
Siber, the 9th of july" informs the
Royal Geographical society of London
that one of his employees charged with
the command of an exploration to the
Welle region, reports the discovery
of great lake in the country of the
Barboa, powerful copper-colored
tribe. clothed with peculiar grass
cloth" The lake. which is claimed to
rival in size the Victoria Nyanza, and
to require three days for its traverse
by native boats, would seem from the
information gathered to lie between
the third and fourth parallels of north
latitude, and about the twenty-third
meridian of east longitude. 1t is con-
jectured that the powerful Welle
River is its principal feeder, and that
its outlet may prove to be a tributary
OF the Congo.

They Buried IL.
fisherman Courier.1


They have done right at last, and
buried this deformity by Il decisive
majority of 81 to 30 with only IA
members absent from the house. The
measure came up before that body,
backed by the strongest lobby influ-
ences which could be organized by
its friends. and yet the good sense of
the members enabled them to see
through the gauzy pretense of
economy to the state, and dis
cover the grand job at the
bottom of the whole thing. There
was millions in il" to the parties
who had contracted for the Drawn
and muscle of the Texas eonvicts. but
our lawmakers very wisely concluded
not to permit so llagrant an outrage
on humanityito be consummated by
their votes. They say by this vote
that this great state can manage her
penitentiary as well as Il company of
spectators could. and we rejoice that
the inhumanities claimed to have ex-
listed under the leasing system will
now give place to course of manage
ment more in harmony with the hui
name spirit of the age.

An Unnecessary Demand.


We think, to say the least, that
whatever has brought about the lease
of the penitentiary, and so establish
ed it in spite of the will of the people
and the good of the state, that that
cause is, in itself, one to be lamented
and even to be rebuked. We cannot
believe an administration such as
Gov. Roberts controlled throughout
two terms, could have termi-
mated with such disgrace upon
it as seems to exist in
this penitentary business. and
we therefore would be glad to hear
from Gov. o. M. Roberts on the sub
ject. There surely was some Just
cause for the lease. and some show of
propricty must have controlled it.
We cannot satisfy o'irself that Gov.
Ireland, had he the disposition to do
so. has it in his power to remedy the
evil. The people call for true in
wardness of the matter, and they
hope not to wait in vain for an ex-
PLANTATION from the chairman Of the
committee that made the lease. Let
X come. and let the state know just
how such results are br0ught shout.

The high rate of speed that can be
obtained by the use of the independ-
ent cutoff valve on engines was eX-
planned in a lecture in Philadelphia
Wednesday evening by Prof. w. Bar
net La Vau. He compared the sta
tionary engine of the past with the
locomotive engine of to-day. The
speed of the engine, he maintained,
could be increased to between seventy
and eighty miles an hour without any
special changein the present construc-
ton of locomotives, and that a uni
form speed of sixty miles an hour can
be accomplished with the same engine
now in use with the addition of an
independent cutoff valve. In the old
days, when the stage coach was used
as Il means of travel, the loss of life
among people who travelled was one
in 5000, while at the present time it is
only one in 100000.

TFort Worth Gazette1


The Austin special to the Gazette
which appeared in yesterdays issue
reports Mr.. Goree, the superintendent
of the penitentiarieS, as having eX-
pressed the opinion that under the
same rules and with the same powers
given the lesseeS, he could make money
and big money for the state out of the
penitentiaries. What has come over
the spirit of his dreams that the
superintendent should have changed
his mind so radically since his able
address before the senate committee
on penitentiaries Does the fact that
he sees u possibility of losing a good
fat Office and a comfortable salary in
fluence the superintendent's mind in
arriving at the conclusion that there
is money and big money in the
management of the penitentiarieS ?"
Mr.. Goree has made faithful and
efficient officer in the past, so far as is
known, and not word of criticism
or disparagement has been spoken
against him, and had he attended to
the duties of the office and kept away
from the lobby the chances are that
he could have retained the confidence
of the public. But it is respectfully
submitted that having so emphatically
asserted as his solemn conviction that
the resumption of penitentiary man.
agement and control by the state
would entail great pecuniary loss he
is not the proper man to be entrusted
with the management when resump-
ton is effected. His latest utterance
is nothing but death-bed conversion
in which but few people nowadays
have any confidence. If Mr.. GOree is
called upon to walk the plank, as he
should, it will be lesson to those who
remain behind that the lobby is not
the proper place for an official to be
seen unless he is using his influence
for and not against the state.
