The small bow has MANY sports known

The small boy has many sports known
only to himself. You may know that he
is perfectly happy and mentally at rest
when he steals boat whose oars are
locked up, and paddles around with q
picket that fills his hands with splinters.
But even then he is, perhaps. not so
happy as when sitting In chill Autumn
wind, blowing on his fingers to keep
them warm, and perched on the point
Of stone, watching q sweet potato
slowly roasting on fire made Of old
sup-dried shoes.

Sweet Gum.

When we consider the medical au-
thority of the world recognizing our
sweet gum to be the finest stimulating
eXpectorant known, and that the pro
prietor of .Taylor's Cherokee Remedy
of Sweet Gum and Mullen" has the
formula of the Cherokee natl IN of in
cooperating the sweet gum with the
tea of the mullen plant of the old
fields-which many of our readers will
remember our grandmothers making
under the direction of the old family
physician for Group, whooping cough
and colds-lt is no wonder that "Tay-
lor's Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum

fective cures in coughs, Group, whoop-

TIME TABLE.
WOmr Strategists."

OF this company, the Galveston
News, one of the leading papers oil
Texas, had the following notice a few
days ago: =,
"Wrltten and acted just for fun" is
the way the show-bills introduce Our
Strategists to the public. Whether
this be true in the first part is not per-
tinent, but In the latter clause, II max
ing fun for the people is meant, GER
tainly the truth has been told to the
letter; for more uproariously funny
thing could scarcely be conceived. As
its name implies, it n work of STRAIT
egy, and in the proceedings of the
strategists there are droll situations,
absurd and ridiculous entanglemehts
that, aided by really clever dialogue,
keep one laughing to the end of the
play. The people did not merely
laugh, they shouted rs each new phase
in the schemes of the strategists was
unfolded, involving new coniicalities
and absurdities. The company which
presented our Strategists last night Is
admirable fitted to the business which
they undertake In the entire
east there is not an Indifferent
artist. Mr.. III. b. Bell, as Jack
Rulledge, and Miss Katie i!bert as
Nellie Howard, the StrateSlsts, could
not well be improved on. Mr.. Bell
in the matter OF DISCUSSES, was fertile
enough to deceive the best, while the
ease and grace with which he handled
the truth was striking. Miss Gilbert,
pretty, vivacious and full of fun, en-
ters with spirit into her part, giving it
naturalness that is refreshing. Mr..
Will Bray is most excellent come
dian, who handles his German dialect
and sings Il song in way that always
brings down the house. In Miss Min
ME Warren, ms his Ariminta, he has
an aid who is herself whole team.
Mr.. Linten takes the part of the irasci-
BILE old major in capital style, and even
to the interview with the snakes,
makes laughter at every turn. Mr..
McGrath's Arthur Rutledge, Mr.
I'rayer as Pepper, Miss Bates as Mrs.
Howard, Mr.. Warner rs the minister.
and Mr.. Hogan as O'Flam, were good
in their parts, each contributing u full
share TO the evenings entertainment.
Our Strategists will run the remainder
of the week, with Il matinee tomorrow.
SO all will have II chance To hear The
story of kisses, cigars and boneset tea.N

THIRD AND FOURTH WARDS.

The GAZETTE was misinformed as
to the position Mr.. J. l.. Doggy had
accepted under Division Freight Claim
Agent Drake. Mr.. Gordon still re-
tains the chief clerkship and Mr.. Dog
gy takes charge of the ''old horse" de-
partment.
1t is probable that three large gas
lamps will be put up on the platforms
of the Union depot of 1S0-candle pow
er each. The GAZETTE il pleased to
see that steps are being taken in this
direction by the officials.
A. A. Talmage, general superintend-
ent of the Gould system, and other of
ficials were expected here yesterday,
but they did not arrive. They are
looked for on special train to-day.
The large bell tower will be erected
nearly opposite the Waterman hotel
on Main street between Eleventh and
Twelfth.
The west-bOund Texas & Pacific pas
senger train was reported five hours
late last night.
The street to the depot from the low
er end of Main street is in wretched
condition.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Bupgiirg burglars Attemptto Blow Open
"A safe in MIR. Thomas Dnross' Gro
Gerry store on Front Street.

Gerry store on Front Street.
An attempt was made TO blow open
the safe In the store of Thomas Duross,
dealer i'm groceries, No. LOG Front
street, about one o'clock on Monday
morning, but the attempt was unsuc-
cessful on account of the bungiing
manner ia which 1t was made, ana
even had the thieves been success
full in blowing open the safe. the Wig
lance of the police would have pre-
vented anything being stolen.
Shortly before o'clock Il tlan came
to policeinen Coker and Cooper, who
were on duty in this precinct, aud re-
quested them TO go up on the square
and arrest man. The officers refused
to be lured away from their post, and
about o'clock, while standing near
the corner of Houston and Main street
they saw "A brilliant flash of light in
Mr.. Duross' store One of the officers
Immediately ran to the rear
in the alley and the other
ran to he front entrance.
The back and front doors We're found
open and IA small ladder was placed
against the back fence which separated
the ear of the store from KIND oil
yard or alley back of the Favorite
saloon which fronts on Main street.
Entering the store they found that the
handle of the safe, which was of the
Hall pattern, had been knocked of
and quantity of powder had been
forced into the interior of the safe and
exploded, but as the work was that OF
bunglers it did not have the desired
effect and the force of the powder es-
capped around the edges of the door
and through the holes made 10y break
ing Off the handle. The officers found
no one in the store and it is pro able
there was no one in there when the
powder exploded, but that the
burglars were on the outside
watching the effect of their work.
Mr.. Duross stated that there was about
Sl25 i'm the safe at the time and $50
of that was in checks on banks. On
Saturday previous $4,000 in money
was in the safe but it had been re-
moved. A Ratchet, chisel, lever ana u
can with some blasting powder were
found in the store after the explosion.
The powder had been purchased at A.
J. Anderson's gun store on Houston
street and from this clue is had
which may lead to the arrest of the
guilty parties. So far as known moth
ing was stolen from the store except Il
revolver belonging to Mr.. Duross.
That the work was done by parties
who are amateurs in the business is
beyond question. They defaced the
safe in numerous places and went so
far as to knock off the ornaments
which surmount the hinges.
The burglars in breaking of the
handles of the safe destroyed all
chances of opening it except by blow
ing the door entirely off the hinges,
which isalmost an impossibility with
the hole left open and air escaping
around the edges of the door. The
safe will have TO he drilled apart in
order to repair the damage done.

An Afflicted Family,
An English exchange says:

An English exchange says:
"Rcccntly, while the Princess of Wales
was sitting in her carriage, near one of
her country homes, working man
rushed forward and offered to shake
hands with her. This was regarded by
the officers rs II ilagrant oil'ense, and the
man was promptly dubbed and dragged
off,"
The English paper adds, "thc Princess
bore the insult remarkably well, merely
shrinking back in the carriage"
From special London correspondent
of Tcras Sfings we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars. The Princess bore up
under the crushing disaster with re-
markable fortitude, but the most terrible
effects of the blow fell upon her royal
relatives and the crowned heads of Eu-
rope. The Prince of Wales had only
sworn off week previous, and was be-
having himself remarkably well, but
when he heard that man below the
rank of Duke had offered to shake hands
with his wife, he just let go all holds
and went on prolonged spree and has
not drawn "a sober breath since. Queen
Victoria had washed the breakfast
dishes, and was just hanging out the
clothes in the backyard of Balmoral Cas-
tie, when she heard the dread tidings.
She tainted away with a clothes pin in
her mouth, but was brought to in few
hours. On hearing, however, that the
miscrcant was named Shocks, and did
not even have kid gloves on, she had a
relapse. She has been so i'll ever since
that Princess Beatrice has had to chop
the irewood, make the fires, and do all
the cooking. She has even to chop up
the irewood with her own royal hands.
She asked the Prince of Wales to cut her
up an armful of wood, but he was not in
a condition to comply with her request.
The Duke of Edinburg was requested to
take off his coat and help out, but he
said he was not that kind of u Duke, and
that the family had better have their
meals sent from a restaurant until the
old lady was able to attend to her house
hold cares once more. The unfortunate
affair has played the mischief with the
royal family. Texas Sittings.
