Nashville is getting such barbarian no.
lions that it Is requiring saloon keepers
to keep their saloons closed on Sundays.
The compounders of cocktails are indig-
nant, and one Of the most aesthetic Of
them says such conduct on the part of
the authorities sis not in keeping with the
spirit Of the age and the enlightenment of
the nineteenth century" Now the per-
secuted liquor dealers are going to pro-
coed against the hotels, hack drivers and
railroads for violating the Sunday laws,
and they even talk about prosecuting
ministers who preach for stated salary.
Sunday tipping has brought Nashville
into disrepute, and the better people of
the city will rejoice that there is pros
pect Of amending, if not destroying, the

they used oil or wafer colors. Miss Mary S.
said she wasn't certain. but she thought they
used crayons. Miss Madge u asked if hens
laid butter in the winter time. because If thew

club il the price of everything was going to be
too high.

RAVAGES OF PNEUMONIA.
What the Doctors Say About the Disease
Which Has Alarmed Us.

What the Doctors Say About the Disease
Which Has Alarmed Us.
Complaints of the prevalence of pneumonia
are made almost everywhere. The disease
has had remarkably fatal result. But
nowhere has it prevailed to a greater
comparative extent than in San Antonio.
When a LIGHT commissioner asked the
doctors what cases prevailed the
general reply was pneumonia, fevers and in
cidentals of cold" When he asked the drug
gists what remedies were most in demand the
answer was practically the same. Even at
the Poor House DIR. Graves had six patients
under treatment for pneumonia alone. The
question naturally arose, what is the meaning
of the medical term pneumonia? In plain
English, the doctors stated, that il was moth
ing more nor less than inflammation of the
substances of ..the lungs. especially danger
Gus from its tendency to leave
a tuberculous deposit, and contract
with an Infectious fever of typhoid
character. To an inquiry as to the cause OF
the disease, the answer was that it was more
readily contracted in the spring and winter,
and was occasioned more especially by a
peculiar condition of the atmosphere and by
sudden change OF temperature. Old and
young are alike susceptible, but the chances
for weak and deliberated constitution or one
already afflicted with lung disease were very
small. The mortuary report attests the
fatality Of the disease and Its great extent is
beyond doubt. Happily the warm weather is
doing good in reducing the severity of the
malady and the docto.s' representations lead
to the hope that it will soon pass away; never
theless they strongly advise citizens to ever
else great care in exposing themselves to the
danger Of catching what they call cold, but
which oftentimeS has serious termination.

The liability of the drawer of bill must be

liability as drawer.-National Bank v. Cook.

AFRICAN BLOOD IN HER VEINS,
A Dynamite Handgrensde Thrown Into a
Baltimore Mansi

BALTIMORE, February e.-An interesting
divorce suit is about to be begun here, in
which the husband, wealthy and aristo-
cratic young broker, is plaintiff. In 1877 he
fell in love with pretty brunette saleswoman
in kid glove store, and not long after an
nounced his prospective marriage to his
stately mother. There was scene, of course,
and serious disruption of family ties.
Later on the mother relented and the
young pair began life in luxurious
home OF their own. The only shadow
that came between them was her mysterious
use OF large sums of money, which she refused
to explain. A red-haired baby was event.
ually added to the establishment, and, one
day, when it was about two years old, the
grandmother, who was fondling il, was handed
a letter. She opened it with smile of
peace, read it with gasp of horror and then,
with one wild shrek of woe, she and the in
FAINT simultaneously fell to the floor. The let
ter, written in almost an ilegble hand and
filled with an abundant amount of pho
netic spelling, contained the announce
ment that the baby's mother was a
negro. The writer claimed to be
the young wife's grandmother, and in
closed her address. When the old lady re-
covered she refused to believe the note con-
tanned the truth. Her son, however, began
an investigation which developed that his
wife's grandmother, who wrote the letter. was
colored. She had married white man as
did her daughter. The negress had obtained
hush-mOney from her granddaughter and
gambled with it in the low dives of the city.
Exposure came because the young wife re-
fused to give her any more money She now
refuses to give up her husband, but his
mother insists upon a divorce There is no
indication of colored blood in the wife's APP
pearance.

FACTS FROM FL ORESVILLE.
An Illustration of What Industry VIII
Effect on Texas Lands.

Effect on Texas Lands.
Special Correspondence of the Evening Light
FLoRESvILLE, TEXAS, February 10, 1885,
DIR. Dryden has been quite i'll for some time
and at present writing fears are entertained
that he will not recover.
The recent cold spell. while it has done
much good for the farmer, has left many Sou
venirs of its visit in dead stock, sprains,
bruises and broken bones. The exact loss Of
stock cannot be ascertained, but sheep men
suffered the greatest.
Among the most notable changes in this
country has occurred at the Teel rancho, some
four or five miles north of here on the San
Antonio road, since it passed into the hands
of Mr.. Glass from Kentucky, a brother OF
Colonel ]. w. Glass of your city. Mr.. Glass
arrived here late in the season yet he is up
with and even far ahead of most OF his neigh
bors in his preparation for his crop, and in
addition to this he has made new fences,
repaired old ones and changed the whole as
pect Of the place, which was fast going down
in the hands of shiftless tenants. Even now
in midwinter the Surroundings have pleas
ant look and degree of homelike warmth
characteristic of the Southern home.
This is but one illustration of what industry
will do on Texas lands, and in particular Will
son county lands, which are not surpassed by
any other portion of the great "Lone Star"
State.
Colonel Mead's large field was all plowed
some 10 days ago, and that portion which is
not already planted will be in few days.
We predict that such men as the above
and we have many of them-will have to en-
large their barns and graineries before another
harvest.
Much sickness is reported through the
county, caused by the sudden changes we have
had recently. ADIoS.

CONGRESSIONAL AMENITIES.

One Statesman Orders Another to a Move
and Calls Him Monkey.
, Two Congressman figured in disgraceful
scene in the House of Representatives at
Washington last Saturday. Mr.. Bragg. of
Wisconsin, arose from his seat and asked to
have printed in the record few remarks on
the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter. 81
object" was heard from some one on the
Democratic side. This surprised Mr.. Bragg,
who looked around to see who il was on his
own side of the House that had interposed an
objection, when he discovered Mr.. Miller, of
Pennsylvania, over among the Democrats.
Mr.. Bragg walked up to the Pennsylvania,
shook his fist in his face and said to him, $50
back to your own side of the house, you,
monkey. You have been raised on butter
milk and don't know anything" Mr.. Miller
looked daggers at the Wisconsin statesman,
but made no reply, after which he moved
over to his own side of the House.

An Unfounded Report that the Government
VIII Refuse Him His Pay.

VIII Refuse Him His Pay.
There is story current that the admins
tration intends to withhold the pay of Colonel
Ochiltree as Congressman and apply it on the
judgment for $1,000 which the Government
has against him and his bondsmen, as Mar
shall OF Texas. But Colonel Ochiltree denies
that it is true and does not seem to be appre-
hensive of losing his $1,000 a year. In the
course of a conversation with a LIGHT cor
respondent Colonel Ochiltree said he. had
vouchers for money expended by him in ar
resting Kuklux, which more than represented
the value of the claim of the Government;
but these vouchers the Government refuses to
allow because there is no precedent for such
an action. Colonel Ochiltree said he ought
to have gone to Congress for relief, hut did
not. The Sergeant alarms of the House, he
said, will not refuse to pay him his salary, and
if there is no refusal to pay him by that Off
Ger, the question whether the Government will
take his salary or not cannot be raised.
