To the Editor of THE STATEsMAN
In your yesterdays issue there ap-
peared, under the caption of What
/ Think" communication N which
CHARITY" tries to ventilate que5-
ton of vital importance to us all, but
especially to the suffering part of hui
mainly in our midst. Now, while in
the main l cheerfully endorse what
"Charity" has to offer upon this
grave question, yet for the fair name
of our city 1 beg leave to state that
we have a benevolent society in Aus
tin which is not a failure in any sense
of the word. 1 mean the German
American Ladies' Art society, which
was organized on the first of April,
1881, and which is still in existence,
numbering at present ninety men,
bers. This society, indeed, has not
obtruded itself upon public notice.
but true to it's mission, it has done all
in it's power, in modest and quiet
way, to aid the POOR, to alleviate want
and to comfort the sick. Its benevo-
lence is freely extended to all who ap.
ply, without their being questioned as
to age, religious denomination or ma
tionality. In this the books of the
treasurer of the society will bear me
out, and also in the statement that
every month from thirty to forty dol.
lars are distributed to those in need
and distress.
Any good lady who wishes to be-
come an active member OF this So
ciety and help extend its sphere OF
usefulness, can do so by calling upon
one of the following officers Of the
\ society
Mrs. G. Wahrenberger, president ;
M. Brueggerhoff, vice
G. Tillman, treasurer

GALVESTON. March "a petition
was circulated this afternoon request
ing the mayor and city county to tele-
graph the deep water committee at
Washington to take steps towards Sc
curing the advance appropriation for
harbor improvements at this point.
The petition is called forth by the
fact that the committee seemed to
have concentrated all their efforts on
the Eads bill. 1t is claimed that the
chances are against bill making such
large appropriation passing at this
session, and failing in this Galveston
should not waive her claim to the
regular annual appropriation, or the
work in Galveston harbor will be
brought to a standstill for want of
means to carry it on. The petition is
said to have received number of
signatures, and will be considered by
the board of aldermen tomorrow.
The Texas Veteran Association of
Galveston county was in annual ses-
sion this afternoon at the city hall.
There were present Hon. Guy NJ
Bryan, president, and twelve mem
berS-about half the membership in
the city. The principal feature of the
exercises was an eloquent address by
Judge J. S. Sullivan, on "The past
and present history of Texas" The

ShadowIngs Of a Diplomatic Cam

BERLIN, March 3.-The German
ministerial organs associate the ALI
ance of Russia, Germany and Aus
tria with the coming league of con-
tinental powers against the maratime
and commercial preponderance of
England, notable articles ap-
pearing in Kreinz Seinling
which predict the formation
of a league including France, to
break the insular supremacy of Eng
gland, which, it says, by the annexa-
ton of Egypt, has completed the lines
of gigantic chain, extending from
Gibraltar ID China, and coiled around
the body OF Europe, monopolizing the
commerce Of the world and making
the Meditsrrean Sea and Indian
| Ocean, English.
The Berlin Post urges France to
| join the alliance, promising more sub
stantial benefits than those arising
from her entente with England.

a stranger in the city-was drowned
in Trinity river to-day. He is be.
lieved to have committed suicide, as
he waded into the stream with all his
clothing on, and was discovered splash,
ing in the water. The body was re-
covered and an inquest held by JUS
tice Kendall, but no one could be
found who knew him, and there was
nothing on his person by which to es-
tablish his identity. 1t is thought he
was out of money and work, and sui
cided in fit of dependency.
LATER-H. Leonard is the name of

party of friends who arrived here late

Wholesale and Retail Grocery
Houses in Texas.
The wholesale and retail grocery
house of Messrs. Wayland & Criser,
on the Avenue, in this oily, is one of
the most substantial and influential
business representatives of the state,
and does honor to the capital city.
The members of the firm are among
AUSTIN'S FIRST CITIZENS,
and have been instrumental in making
this city the centre of trade in this sec
ton of Texas. This house especially
has shown its enterprise to every re-
tail merchant within radius of 100
miles of this city, and is reaping a
handsome reward therefrom in the
way of trade. Orders come to them
from points beyond San Antonio, and
are filled and forwarded to their des-
tination within the time they
could be secured from that point,
A STATESMAN representative, in
passing the store yesterday, concluded
to walk in and see for himself the
mammoth stock they carry. He was
met by the ever-smiling and genial
Wayland, who led the way to the rear,
pointing out the different sections into
which the stock is divided. The front
Of the store is used in part as the re-
tail section, in the center of which are
hundreds of boxes of California canned
goods of all kinds-the choicest on the
market. Over one hundred barrels OF
the

acknowledged to be superior to any
ever placed before the people, fill the
center of the rear half of the build

is piled in columns that touch the

ROlla Ryan.

Well, this city is to have some funny
business that is funny and no mistake.
Rolla Ryan is surely coming and is
said to have more h-producing
power in him, to the square inch, than
any man in his profession. His read
ing is among the very best, and the
press speak of him in the highest terms
of commentator. The Dallas Her
aid says: 1.-THE last was so real that
as one looked at him and listened to
the gibbering of second childhood, it
was hard to keep from shedding tears.
* The cowboy was another
excellent impersonation. Itwould be
hard to pick a single flaw in the real
ism of his acting in this piece. One
sees the cowboy Of the frontier. in all
his swagger and volubility. Grip
Scott, the Moonshiner, was another
character in which Rolla's greatest
genius appears" 1t is hardly neces-
sary, however, to give newspaper ex-
tracts in regard TO a man like Ryan.
His name and fame are almost as IA
miliar in Texas as the air. He is a
genius such as has seldom appeared in
this city, and the 18th will bean event
in the dramatic season.

The bodies of Morice Bey, Surgeon
Leslie and four other Europeans

buried,
Sir Evelyn Barring, telegraphing the

Baker Pasha's wound is not serious.
1t is believed Osman Digma's power

BERLIN, March 3.-The North Ger
man Gazette (Bismarck'S organ) con-
dennis the proposal the secessionists
offer in the reichStag resolution,
the United States house of
for its action on the
death of Lasker. "The moving of
such resolution" the Gazette says,
8 would constitute a shameless act"
The Gazette refrains, out of respect
to congress, from asserting that the
secessiOnlsts actually paid cash for the
Lasker resolutions, but says it was
offered in hopes of reaping a
reward in the furtherance of
party interests. The Gazette adds:
An attempt to carry the proposed
resolution would be violation of law,
md the direct correspondence with a
.oreign parliament would be a breach
IT the constitution. The government
would certainly visit such encroach-
nent upon the domain of monarchy
With serious consequences"

GRAHAM AT ToKAR.

SUAKI1I, March 2.-The march to
Tokar wad accomplished in four
hours from Teb. The hussars scour-
ed the country and kept up desultory
skirmishing with many rebels, who
retired in disorganized masses in the
direction of Tamanieb.
The Arabs lost ITO men dead on
the field at Teb, besides guns and
other munitions. The whole camp
including 375 tents and many camels,
were taken. The condition of the
camp showed that the Arabs relied
upon being victorious.
General Graham sends part of the
Tokar garrison to Trinkitat and de-
stroys the Notifications. He will then
march to Tamanieb, where he viii
meet the sheiks of friendly tribes, an6
those submitting to him, to make
