SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION.

"There is a tide in the affairs OF men,
which, when taken at the flood leads to
fortune" 1t is this flood tide, upon the
waves OF which all prosperous persons,
whether in political, professional or
commercial life have reached the haven
where final success at last crowned their
efforts; the goal reached, each OF them,
MS the self-made hero In his drama, can
look back upon the past Of his own life,
well spent on the slow but sure road to
wealth. A fit illustration of what these
few lines claim, Is furnished In this city
when 1t is seen that men with persever-
ing zeal and thorough integrity OF
dealing In all business transactions, have
built up mammoth establishments In
our midst that are at once the pride of
the city and an honor to the owner and
conceptor.
For some time past II has been pub
lished that Mr.. i. Wolfson was intend
ing to make some changes in the inte-
rior of his store, and foundries and me-
chanlcs have been quite busy preparing
the needed material. All this pre-
liminary work has now sufficiently
advanced that the work will begin
at the end of this month. How
ever, in order to accomplish this, q
large stock OF furniture and carpets must
be closed out to make room, said Mr..
Wolfson to n LIGnT representative; all
these goods have been remarked low,
and you can buy them, they being new,
at less figures than you pay for second
hand goods. Convince yourself. exam
inc the goods and prices marked on the
same.
1t will not be at all surprising If the
rush that has been made for Wolfson's
will be increasing and kept up during
this month. The LIGHT advises all who
wish to replace old carpets with new
ones to take look at the assortment at
WOlisOn's and Secure untold hnrpains

SCHLEICHER MONUMENT.
A Short Description OF the Artistic
Work by UndePhill & Co.

A IIGHT representative was called up
on to take drive to the Military ceme-
terry for the pHrpose of viewing the Just
finished monument erected over the
grave OF the late Gustav Schleicher.
Mr., Il. b. Underbill, of the firm of
Underhill & Co., of Austin, the design
ers, and under whose skillful direction
the work was executed, acted us con-
duotor.
The monument is situated Immediately
az joining the centre of the grounds,
where the large flag staff with the starry
banner rears It's head. Approach " the
grave from the southern entrance line
view Is had Of the monument; resting
on base or block of huge size of fossil
lime stone OF rare quality and found in
but very few localities. 1t Is cream col
ored and complete petrefaction of all
imaginable sea shells, mussels. aquatic
animals, intermixed with veins of agate
and various other substances OF
prehistoric age, giving in the fine polish
to which the stone can be subjected
magnificent appearance. Upon this SUI
perstructlon there rises grand diamond
shaped block Of blue granite, on the
four sides OF which the following in
scriptiOns are seen: On the front facing
westward, "Gustav Schlelcher, born in
Darmstadt, Germany, November 1923
Died In Washington, ID. c., January 10,
1879. Became citizen of Texas 1917
On the right side facing south. elected

| the Texas Legislature, and In 1853 to
the Senate OF the State. Member of
| Congress of the United States from 1874
until his death. On the leiC side facing
north. "A man of reat gift of mind and
winning qualities of heart. Scholar,
| Legislator and Statesman. Eminent
among the great On the back AGING
east. Erected to his memory by his
friends and constituents of Western
Texas, A. ID. 1855"
Upon this die rests the fine obelisk, OF
the same blue granite, making the monu-
ment more than 20 feet high. The grave
proper Is encased with border of the
same granite, In solid pieces, and an
ornamental foot stone, bearing the mi
tials G. S., all closely morticed together
The monument is line and notable
ornament of the military cemetary. II
reflects credit upon the Messrs. Ed
Stoves, ST., and j. ii. Kampmann as the
Executive committee, and Messrs. I'm.
derhill IL Co., OF Austin, with their per
severing agent in this city, Mr.. G. Drew
by whom the monument was erected
The price agreed upon was $1,000, ant
Is pronounced cheap by those who ar,
judges of this kind OF work. The obelisl
has been covered up, and though alread,
received by the committee, formal an
yelling will take place. on which occa
sion the committee will finally dedioat,
the same to the memory of the decease,
statesman. This will take place ut nj

Secretary Teller 70 Defend the Ae-

the Senate.

WAsHISGrOS, ID. g, March s.-A lively
discussion u looked for during the week on
Senator Van Wyck's resolution calling for
reasons why the Department Of the Interior
issued land patents 10 the New Orleans Pa
cife or Back bone Railroad Company,
while the bill providing for the
forfeiture of the grant was pending IN
Congress. Ez-Seeretary Teller now being
United States Senator will defend the action
Of the Department. The friends of the Sen
stor say his explanation viii be satisfactory
~ the majority OF the Senate after a prob
ably spirited debate. The question will
simmer down soon 10 be forgOtteil. Those
who opposed the action of the Department
IN issuing land patents say that while the
President was signing the patents he had be
fore him etitlOn signed by a number OF
Senators and Representatives protesting
against It's issue. The sIgners of the petition
were Senators Jones, Morgan, Van Nyck,
Hill. Walker, and Representatives Lewis,
Cobb, Anderson, Henley and Holman. As the
protest was ignored its framars feel quite
9hdignant. Van Wyck Is of the opinion that
the matter will reqire great deal of explain
alton to blot ont the irregularities limited at
in his resolution OF inquiry, while on the
other hand the friends of Mr.. Iiller say he
had the authority of the administration for
his action in the matter and VIII readily
make the matter clear 10 the entire satisfac-
