had an edition of 5000 papers last week,
necessitating $4,000 Impressions dn a
Washington hand press! Think Of it..
Every impression requires about $50
pounds of muscle. But even counting it
at 100 pounds it required 100000
pounds of pulling to get out one weeks
issue. Our Washington is Cor sale-s. :.
Last Monday morning at o'clock the
good people of Orange City were aMak-
ened by loud explosion in the centre OF
the city. Quite number started towards
the scene to investigate, and discovkTed
that the store of w. w. West had then
entered, and his large safe blown opef by
burglars. A hole had been drilled iH the
centre of the door and charge of giant
powder or dynamite inserted ami touched
off. The explosion was terrific, theEin:
mense iron door was split into pieces from:
bottom to top and right to left through;
the hole the charge was inserted. sa'he
pieces of door were thrown forward
against the office partition, crashing i To
the floor Groceries, canned and xiry
goods were scattered over tho foor, and
the large plate glass front, 100 feet fon
the safe was shattered into fragments. he
Job was evidently undertaken ky gthen

United States government has ACQUIRED
title ~ property Tor The specific purposes,
and the deed has been recorded, tnht The
governor may oedo the necessary lufhdic-
tom on The other hand the United States
statute, making the appropriation for The
purpose OF erecting the building IN tho city
of Dallas, provides that the appropriation
shall not DO available until the state cedcs
the Jurisdiction In that act required, which
Is tue same Jurisdiction coded by our gen
eral law, and provided for In the bill under
consideration.
While this Is more technical than
substantial conflict, yet 1t might
be sufficient to induce the department to
Withhold the appropriation.
Second-Another reason assigned by his
eXcellency for the veto Is, that the act is OBJ
ioctionable unde- the latter part of section
S. article 3, of the constitution, which
reads as follows: And in all cases where
general law can be made applicable no
local or special law shall be enacted"
We most respectfully submit that unless
the various United States statutes making
appropriations of this character should be
uniform in their requirements, that no gen,
eral law could be made applicable in all
cases, as is illustrated In the present con-
flicting specific requirements OF the two
statutes.
Third-The jurisdiction coded by the
pending bill is the same coded by the gen
eral law, and ordinarily coded, and is In
manner and form as required by the United
States statute making the appropriation.
In an abundance OF caution in order that
there may be no possibility of the appro-
priation being withheld, we recommend
that the bill be passed Notwithstanding the
veto. Respectfully. en-,

m,aetneenl Preparations Beina Made TOT
Is Entifs success.
A Herald reporter yesterday inter
viewed Mr.. David Goslln, one Of the most
active members Of the citizens sWngerlesl
committee, aud from him obtained some
notes.
In the first place, the Smnger-
fest building will be the
finest and completest building Tor
such purpose ever seen In the unite1
States. outside of New York. The roof OF
corrugated iron will weigh 10000 pounds,
and the material is already on the ground
The building will be positively me-
proof and four enormous exits are
being prepared for the departure OF
the guests. The magnificent concert
hall is on the ground floor, and lOWO
people can easily be accommodated.
The renowned Spanish Fort band, OF
New Orleans, with thirty-one pieces, mss
been engaged at cost OF $4,000, and in ad-
dition TO these instruments lorty others
have been engaged TO make one grand dis,
play of seyenty-one pieces OF brass band
music. -,
During the Smngerfest there will be q
grand procession at night, in which the
glare OF gas-,ights, the blaze Of electric
| lights and the splendid beauty Of fire
works will light up the entire city,
All the blocks in the ciCy will be, lighted
| in different colors, white, green, blue, red
orange, etc., and $1,000 will be expended
upon the feature of tights alone.
On the top of the building will be flag
| turrets, from which the colors OF all nations
will flaunt their magniiicence to the breezes
| of night and to the sunlight OF day.
The programmes of the performances
ceremonies, ETC., will be issued this week
giving full details.
AS to the number of rooms and accom-
modations, while one hotel in the city re
| fused to reserve rooms on application
| from people abroad, still the committed
! has taken the matter in hand and they as
sure the public they shall have places TO
stop, Cheap rates to and fro are being OBJ
| tained-every railroad coming here acting
most reasonably and generously, aud the
| fare will be published in due time.
Not only will the flag turrets be alive
with banners and bsnnerets, but the whole
| building will be covered from foundation
| to dome, from one part OF II
to another, with splendid decorations and
notices reaching from Bacchus to venus
| from patriotism to the highest features o.
art, and from every day life to the choicesl
realms of literature.
During the Sangerfest, the Press associa'
ton OF the state meets here, and ample
preparation is being made for their accom-
mediation and entertainment, too.
The mixed chrus, under the building UP
and training of Professor Frees, is progress
ing rapidly, and will be one of the pleasant
est features of the whole affair.
The city will be filled with visitors, not
only of Texas, but of other states, who will
be mere to participate in the programme and
the festivities

have her principal streetsewered aud paved,
and nov at this early date contracts have
been lei to responsible parties, the work is

The Fire.

About 100 o'clock this morning, the resi-
dence of j. Rothchild, the third house on
the west side of Browder street, south of
Marilla street, was discovered to be on fire.
Jimmie Pace and Fred Guebler first saw
the fire and gave the alarm, which was re-
peated from the down town station, and
The firemen turned out promptly and did
good work, though his residence and that
occupied by Herman Goslin and the prop
erty OF Mr.. Holden, both one-st1iy
frames we're destroyed, yet the firemen did
good work in saving adjoining property
The household goods OF Rolhchild weIe
most all saved, as was that OF
Goslin, though he and his
family barely escaped alive. The
fire originated in the cellar of Rothchid' 8
house and the flames emanated from Il e
standing water in the cellar, which shows
there was oil or some such substance on
top of it. The house in which
Rothchild lived was insured for
81, 500, hut he puts his loss at $500 in the
burning of his residence and furniture
broken up. Goslln did not, so far as could
be learned, have any insurance. 1t is the
general impression that it was the work oil
an incendiary.

Parfactly Satisfactory.

A colored dame, whose naughty walk
was characterized by an indignant sling oil
her person, meandered her way into the
city hall yesterday morning, and Waiting
up to the board OF equalization, which was
in session, in soft but stern, measured tones,
demanded q divorce from her so-called liege
lord. The members of the board took in
the ludIcrous situation and humored the
Joke of some outside wag, who had
sent her there for the fun of the
thing. In the course of conversation
the Startling fact was developed that she
and her old man." as she termed him,
had never been legally harnessed up in the
matrimonial gear. and with wave Of the
hand Mr.. s. W. s. Duncan dismissed her
with the assurance that she was as free as
air." and she started out Of the building
with an air of perfect satisfaction depicte
upon her ginger-cake-colored features.

He is modest. He will have the support OF

TIE mining ventures have ceased to be
bonanzas any longer, it would SEEM
although thousands of people are putting
every dollar of their own and so much OF
other peoples as they can get in this

the gold and silver mining companies OF the
country last year amounted to about slo'-

The mixed chorus is making rapid pro-
gress on the chorus under the able and IN

The chorus, numbering some seventy-hve
voices, are at present hard at work with
Governs exquisite cantata, 1.-The Rose Maid
en-" The way they have mastered the
more difficult parts of the work goes to
prove their thorough appreciation OF the
Vocal gem" under study. Apart from all
this, they are under the leadership OF
general who is as able as he is untiring in
his efforts, and all are confident the forth
coming festival will find Dallas in possess
sion Of a chorus that stands second to
none" in the state. The band is now COM
plete and will number seventy-tive pieces
truly formidable orchestra. Mr.. Oscar
Schmidt our local baritone, has been depu-
ted delegate to visit the different singing
societies in the state. =,
The rehearsal of the mixed chorus, called
for Thursday night, having been missed on
account of the weather. it is necessary that
the time be made up, as much work re-
mains to be done. The ladies and gentle
men are earnestly requested to be present,
ready for work at 1880 tonight promptly.
The progress thus far made is very encour-
aging, and all that remains TO ensure sue
cess is regular and prompt attendance at all
future rehearsas. BY beginning early, the
necessity for an extra night to replace the
one lost, may be avoided. Remember, all
are expected to be in place tomorrow
night, ready to begin at 1880 precisely,
NOTES.
The secretary of the Sengeriest commit
tee is daily in receipt OF large number OF
letters making inquiries concerning the
coming festival.
Boarding houses should prepare for the
accommodation of SHngeriest visitors, for
there will be a large attendance.
The Smngerfest building is convenient to
all the railroads.
The best people of the uppertendum COM
pose the mixed chorus.
Mr. Arthur G. Crane, the young English
baritone, is in town visiting his friend
Henry j. Frees, who has prevailed upon
him to remain here until after our Snnger-
fest. Dallas is to be congratulated on this
acquisition, and may the visit develop into
permanent location, as such voices as his
can lily be spared from any community.
