THE SMALL BOY LIED"
Gov. Benjamin Butler illustrates the
Hoar-CrapO Affair with u Story.


WASHINGTON, January Ex-Governor But
ler, of Massachusetts,, is in the city, but is
keeping very quiet. He refused to be in
terviewed on general topics. He was here,
he said, simply on business before the Su-
preme Court, and did not like to be prom
inently projected before the public. He
was a new Governor, he said, and wanted
to go easy.
He was asked about the Hoar-Crapo elec.
ton business. There" he said, Il will
express an opinion. Your inquiry is as to
whether Crapo sent telegram in favor OF
Hoar and withdrawing from the contest
himself. will illustrate by story: One
evening in parlor there were assembled
several ladies and gentlemen. small boy
was also in their midst. The small boy,
addressing one of the ladies, said that she
was one of his parents and, at the same
time, was his sister. The couundrum was
How could that be- The answer was that

THE QUAIL EATER.
waIeott TardiIy Tackles his Eighteenth
Rrace.

New York, January 25-W. S. Walcott
evidently is in bad way. Whether his
condition is entirely due to quail diet or
to too much gin-and-bitters, or to both, is
a question. When he appeared at Gabe
Cases yesterday his step was very unsteady
and his eyes dull. He walked up and
down in front OF Gabe's leaning on the
arm of his attendant. When the eighteenth
brace of quail was set steaming upon the
table, Walcott did not fly to eat them. On
the contrary he fingered. His attendant
went to the bar and returned with very
small dose of gin-and-bitters. This Wal.
cott put away. Still he fingered, and final
ly, with an air of disgust and weariness sat
down and mechanically ate the birds. He
didn't relish them a particle, and he de-
voted twenty minutes to their consump::
tiop. A bet of SIS was made that he would
fail before the twenty fifth day. Case is
yery confident that he will fail, and 1t
looks very much that way now.

ARTHUR AND THE TARIFF.
Views ofthe President On the Internal
and Customs Revenue.

and Customs Revenue.
WASHINGTON, January 25.-The President
is expressing to members of Congress the
interest he feels in the pending propositions
to reduce internal and custom revenues
He saws, in terms, that he deems 1t very
important that such reductions as he men
toned in his message should be made. Of
course he does not mention details, except
TO refer to the recommendations OF his mes
sage. He regards it as essential that there
shall be sharp reduction in internal taxes,
and a considerable revision Of the tariff
In the matter of internal revenue, it will
be remembered that in his annual message
he recommended the abolition OF all taxes
of this class, Except those upon tobacco In
its various forms, and upon distilled spirits
and fermented liquors, and except, also
the special tax upon the manufacturers
and dealers in such articles In the mat
ter Of the tariff
He Sill Urges,
as then IAN enlargement OF the free
list, so as to include within it the numer-
GUS articles which yield inconsiderabie
revenue; a simplifcation of the complex
and inconsistent schedule of duties upon
certain manufactures, particularly those OF
cotton, iron and steel, and substantial re-
duction upon those articles, and upon su-
gar and molasses and silk, wool and wool
len goods. If a general revision OF the
tariff shall be found to be impracticable at
this session, express the hope that at
least some OF the more conspicuous in
equalities of the present law may be cor
rected before your final adjournment"
Some of those who have heard the p-esi-
dent talk express the opinion that, If Con.
gress adjourned without pronounced ac-
ton in the directions indicated by the
President, he will call an extra session very
soon after the 4th of March.

Some Misapprshensicn

with regard to the character Of work. 1t
was not cumserrome volume like the
present edition Of Kelly's statutes. That
they would have the code Of 1858 reprinted
with all the laws in force in the State,
passed sibcs the publication Of that code.
They would have the laws, in just such
shape as the people were familiar with, 50
every Justice of the Peace, when his stten-
ton is called to 0 section of the law, can
have one volume in which to find it. and
that volume provided at very small eI-
pense to the people OF the State, 1t seems
to me. That Il could not be possible for
the Legislature to appoi Mt any body else
than John F. Kelly, who could do the
work better than he had done 1t. Every
lawyer in the State, who had had Kelly's
statutes in his hands, know that the codih-
cation could not be better performed. The
petitions which have come in here from
the legal fraternity and judges attest
The Excellence OF His work.
The Legislature could complete the code
without sitting a long time. In his view
IL they could get the code for $40 900 they
would save the State a large sum OF money.
II was solely with that view aud in the in-
terest OF those who had ~ administer the
laws that he felt interested in this bi'i. he
could see nc objection 20 it and 40 On; hil

An Unfortunate Accident.

Messrs. Laing and Ratican, the en-
ergetic street paving contractors, have
met with most unfortunate accident.
The rock crusher, which they pur-
chased ut considerable expense, for
breaking the rock, and which has
been in constant use since the work on
the streets began. has been laid up for
repairs, the movable jaw, piece of
iron weighing eight hundred pounds,
snapped short of on Wednesday after
noon, and all rock crushing ceased for
the time. A new one will be cast
Immediately, but as model has to be
made in wood first, the crusher will
not be ready for use again before Tues
day. Fortunately, however, a large
quantity of rock has been crushed and
the accident viii not delay the work
mt all. The contractors are pushing
the work forward as rapidly as posi-
bic, and in few days the upper por-
ton of Main street will. he ready for
use. There are one hundred and fifty
men and fifty teams engaged in the
work.

The work of grading preparatory To
laying side tracks IN the Texas 4 Pa.
cific yard, Is going rapidly forward,
If the yagrant law was rigidly en-
forced, the low dives aud disreputable
houses In Helrs half Acre would soon
be broken up.
Dogs are very plentiful In the T and

well TO remember the dog ordinance,
which Marshal Rea says he intends to
stictly enforce.
Houston street Is very rough, and
the citizens of the fourth are waiting
patiently but hopefully for the
time when 1t will be paved.
Patience Is o wonderful virtue, and IL
they do not exhaust the supply, will
probably receive its reward.
The Fourth ward must be first
class place to make money,
for a man from that ward
is building n house on Houston street
at the corner of Fourth, for which he
refused $4,000 yesterday. Chris. Rim
tleman is live, energetic man. and
deserves that fortune should smile on
him.
The citizens of Il. and +. wards are
beginning TO wake up to the fact that
they have only one alderman IA piece,
whereas they are entitled TO two.
Who are the strongest men and who
will make the race are now live ques-
tons. 1t is likely that there will be q
number of candidates in the field and
more than likely the Sunday law will
enter largely into the contest.
The Third ward, always the largest

gala day for Henrietta. An eXhibii
ton was given by our Knights of Pyth-

active life, and freely participated ia
the pleasures of the occasion. The
Dallas string and brass band furnished
sweet music, which added very mate
rally to the many sources of pleasure.
Visitors were present from all points
in the northwestern portion of the
state. The proceedings of the day
were opened by drill and parade of
the Knights of Pythias, DIR. Harris per-
forming the duties Of Chancellor Conn
mander. The parade was a grand af-
fair, and reflected much credit on the
members. The next in order was the

The following officers were installed
