The Pocket Directory of the Eighteenth
Legislature 6 Texas" compiled by Mr..
WILL LAMBERT, who has in a clerical ca.
pacity been connected with our state legis-
latures uninterruptedly for several years
past, contains some information that may
he of interest to the public as to the nativ-
ity occupation, ege, address, etc. OF the
members of the present legislature. From
this Directory II appears that of the men,
bers, officers and attaches of the senate,
forty.seven in number, the lawyers number
thirty.one, no other occupation having
more than three representatives in
the senate. Eight of this body are native
Texans only, while eight others were born
in Kentucky, five in Tennessee, and not
more than three from any other state.
Thirteen states, Germany and Canada have
representatives in the Texas senate. In
the house, out of one hundred and twenty
seven members, officers, clerks, etc., sixteen
only are native Texans, twenty-five are
natives Of Alabama, nineteen of Tennessee,
fifteen of Georgia, ten of Kentucky, and 80
on down. In the house, eighteen states,
Norway, Germany, Canada and even

To-day my comrades of the tented field,

They whisper words that listening we may hear
In heavenly armor shine.
They tell us of their peace aud 10y and rest,

Tho cloudless mountains of the betterland
The perfum laden breeze.

Two Children Suffocated in Burning
Building in Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 2.
A distressing and pitiful scene was wit
messed yesterday morning at fire which
broke out about ten o'clock in three-story
brick tenement house at the northwest
corner of Clark and Eighteenth streets.
The building is occupied in the upper floors
by poor people, who earn scant subsist-
ance by working out, or taking in sewing.
Among them is colored woman, named
Mrs. William Taylor, whose husband has
not lived with her for some time, and who
has been left alone to provide for the wants
of two little children-one three and the
other two years old. Yesterday morning Mrs.
Taylor went out on an errand, leaving the
two children playing on the floor.
About ten o'clock volume Of smoke was
seen issuing from the windows, and in a
very short time flames began to spread. The
alarm was given, and several engines were
promptly on the ground. The firelnen soon
had the blaze under control, and search was
at once made for victims, and in few min
utes the bodies of the two little boys were
discovered in small room near the one their
mother occupied.
They had both been chol1ed to death by the
bly, burned about the head and body, but
the younger child showed hardly any marks
of being scorched by the blaze. The moth
er, who had returned during the progress OF
the fire, was almost wild with despair, and
it was with difficulty that she was prevented
from rushing into the burning building
When the bodies of her children were fount
her cries were heart-rending.
In one of the rooms on the second floor
while the fire was in progress, an old blint
:olored man, known among the folks in thai
neighborhood, made narrow escape. II
the excitement his presence there had beer
| forgotten for a moment, but some people il
grocery next door made a rush for thu
room he was in, and succeeded in dragging
the old man out, safe and sound.
The mother of the two children says sh'
has no idea of how the fire began, as sh'
had left no fire burning in the stove whel
she went out. 1t was not unusual for he
to leave the children alone for a time whel
she went out on errands. She had no othe
way to do, being left alone by her husband
1t is supposed that the boys must have foun'
some matches and amused themselves b.
| lighting them.

Dishwashing Her Life Away.

The quiet fidelity with which wom-
an will dish wash her life away for her
husband and children is a marvel Of
endurance. Here is the servitude OF
woman heaviest-no sooner is her work
done than it requires to be done again.
Men take Jobs, work on them, finish
them, and they are over for good and
all. The prospect of ending them and
drawing pay for the labor is alluring,
but no such allurements are held out
for the wife. She washes Monday after
Monday the same garments until there
is nothing more of them to wash; then
they are replaced by others OF new ma

and wringing goes on forever. She
mends the stockings with tireless fidel.

week after week, for if there is a darned
place in a sock chez invariably puts his
irrepressible toe through it. Every
morning the rooms are put in order,
only to be in the widest disorder by
the time night falls. There are no jobs,
each one different, no terms, no pay
day. The same socks, the same wash
inc, the same room every time. There
is too little brightness in the lives of
women in the country. They have too
little help in their domestic occupations.
The nurse in house where there
is baby to care for ought to be set
down IS one of the regular expenses,
as much as the potatoes for the family.
A mothers health, both of body and
mind, is worth more than additional

Life should not have lost its charm, the

women are faded and wan, and shat
