GALVESTON, TEX, May 1.-The

q new and unexpected turn to-day.
The council met to-day In commit.
tee of the whole. The contestant, Full
ton, through his attorneys, immtdl'
ately began proving the fraudulent
character of the returns from the
Eleventh Ward.
The attorneys for Atkins at the con.
clusion OF the evidence offered by
Fulton, attempted to call witnesses
and prove for whom they voted for
mayor In the Eleventh ward. Fulton
objected 10 this. The testimon v
offered by Atkins was rejected.
The attorneys for Atkins then an
nounced that he would withdraw his
case from further consideration before
the council and would appeal 10 n
more learned tribunal. The junior at.
torney announced that he
took the responsibility OF say
ing that the contestee tAtkinsl
would continue to hold the Office OF
mayor pending the decision Of the
case by the courts. Fulton, with the
Eleventh ward thrown out has an un-
disputed majority OF 81 votes.

John Chinaman Contributes to the
City Treasury.

City treasury.
Sam Key boasts of a Celestial origin
and laundry on Main street. He
also runs as means of profit and for
the accommodation of his customers,
an opium joint. No doubt Sam un-
derstood very well that such an occu-
patton is contrary TO the law and the
statute, but it is hardly probable that
he ever contemplated being caught in
the act of dealing out the
forbidden opiate. The Wig
liant eye of the police, however, was
on the sleek Chinaman, and yesterday
he was nabbed and jerked before the
honorable city court. The recorder
has been assessing small fines right
along on opium vendors, and so Sam
took q jury. They took the case under
advisement after hearing the argument
and In q few minutes returned YER
dict OF guilty, assessing the fine at 500.
An appeal will be taken to the county
court. Mr.. h. ID. Wear represented
the defendant.

A Cabinet Min ;ster's Wife.

The Cabinet officers, wives have each
year to call first upon the wives of the
Justices of the Supreme Court, and then
upon the Senators wives every one of
them. Having gotten rid Of those
seventy-odd social debts, the cards of
general callers pour in upon them at
the rate of 800, 400 and 800 per week,
and the senseless old unwritten law
commands that every one OF them shall
be returned in person. A dozen in
stances can be quoted where women
died, or we're left lnvalitls for years, by
this stupid exaction of society. There
has been great talk all of the time
against the absurdity Of the custom,
now that Washington has grown so for
beyond its estate h the days when it
was established, but none like to assume
the initiative in doing away with it, and
it would require concerted action to
carry it through successfully.-Wash-
inyton letter.

The Orange Groves Of St. Michael's.

The Orange Groves Of st. Michaels.
Out in the Atlantic, over /, 200 miles
from Lands End and about 600 miles
due west from Lisbon, lies the beauti-
full island of St. Michael's, the largest
of the nine islands forming the archi-
pelago OF the Azores. It is beautiful
in its variety of mountain, lake, and
valley scenery, in the rich verdure of
its cultivated lands. its equable, mild
climate, and its wonderful thermal
spring. The principal commerce of st.
Michael's is the orange crop. The
mode of picking and packing remains
unaltered since early days. The city,
Ponta Delgada, the capital OF the island,
is set in the midst of orange gardens,
and the air in the early mornings or
late in the evenings comes laden to you
with the fragrance of orange blossoms.
Either in the town or suburbs you
see the gates of many orange gardens
invitingfy open, and you will be po-
itely invited to walk in and help your
self to flowers and fruit. If you are
stranger the "cabeca" or head man of
the garden will bring you bunch of
lovely camellias and branch on which
hang clusters of ripe oranges, and in
vite you TO be seated on a garden bench,
for though it is the month of February
you can enjoy sitting out of doors.
There you can watch the juvenile toll
ers sorting the fruit and dried leaves of
the Italian corn. The picker caa eat
as mary oranges as he p]eases, and take
ayav every pvonino n hap or has o. f11ll
of fruit that has fallen from the trees,
which he sells at thirty OF forty for q
penny.-Leis1tre Hours.

Horseback Riding In Mexico,

A pretty sight is the return Of the
norsemen from their morning ride to
Chapultepec. Nearly every equestrian
goes in that direction, as it is the only
road leading out of the capital that is
at all passable. Even the road to Cha
pultepec Is in a vile condition after
hard shower; then as soon as you leave
the macadamized roadway of the Paseo
de la Reforma you find yourself on
boggy, miry road, into which your
horses hoofs sink so deep as to compel
him to drop into walk. The condition
of all wagon roads i'll Mexico, SO far Us
l have seen them, is intensely disgrace
full to the government and the people,
for in a country where labor and mate
rial for road-b,ilding are SO cheap and
there are so many men out of employ
ment there is no excuse for having bad
roads.
A small percentage of the millions
taken during the past four years from
the national treasury by President Con
zales and his friends would have sufficed,
if properly expended, to put all the
roads leading out of the capital in ex-
cellent condition for several miles in
cacIl OliecLlOu. AS IL Is now, the only
comfortable node Of riding is by the
horse cars in bad weather, or after o
rain: at other times horseback ride
is indeed treat Not only do the male
Mexicans ride, but also q few of the
native ladies and many of the foreign
ladies, especially the English and
Americans. Very few Mexican ladies'
dare be seen in public on horseback, as
it is here considered vulgar form of
exercise for women
There is no accounting for taste, and
probably some Of our American Gus
toms appear quite as absurd to the
Mexicans as this idea of theirs concern
ing horseback exercise seems to us.
Ladies who take horseback exercise
here usually adopt the Mexican cos
tune, as far as the hat is concerned,
wearing very oad-brimmed felt hat
(similar in shape to the ordinary Mexi-
can "sombrero"), in either black, light
gray, or pale maroon color. In these
sombreros, which are made of much
lighter weight than those worn by men,
they look very jaunty. The rest of the
costume is almost exactly the same as
that worn by .eluestriennes in Paris,
Loldon, or New York.-San Francis
