The following piece of good advice
from Peter Cooper should be needed by
business men in every city in the country:
In all towns where a newspaper is pub
lished, every man should advertise, even
if nothing more than 4 card telling his
name and the business in which he is en-
gagged. 1t not only pays the advertiser,
nut lets people at distance know that the
town you reside in has prosperous class
Of business men," Well, great minds
often run in the same channel. We have
thought just this same thing many times.
If every business house in Austin was
represented in its newspapers 1t would
certainly be of greater benefit to
the city and its business men than
to the publishers. 1t would only
mean few dollars to the editors,
but it would tell abroad more of the pros
perity of our city than any other means
could possibly do.

But little legislative business was
transacted in either house Of Congress
to-day. The Senate took up the post
office appropriation bill and retained in
the bill contrary to the recommendation
of the Appropriations Committec) the
legislative provisions inserted by the
House of Representatives fixing the
postage on newspapers sent from the Of
flee of publication to regular subscribers
at one cent pound, but cut out the
discrimination against sample copies.
making the rate mentioned a uniform
rate for all newspapers sent from the
Office of publication, whether sample
copies or otherwise.
Business was then suspended TO per-
init the Senate to take part in the dedi-
cation ceremonies. The Senate was
again called to order at sos 7. NJ.
only to formally adjourn to Monday.
fIeuSe OF Representatives.
In the House the hall this morning
presented novel appearance. The
desks Of members had been removed,
and in their place were rows upon rows
of chairs, varying in style from the
capaclous leather-coycred armchair to
the more plebian Of plain pine wood.
The seating capacity of the floor was
about 1900. Early in the day the gal
lericS began to fill, and by - o'clock
there were few vacant seats to be
found. A large majority of the spec
tatorS were ladies'. The executive and
diplomatic galleries were occupied,
which is a rare occurrence, and the only
vacant seats were in the gallery cxclu-
siyely reserved for the families of Sena-
tors and Representatives, and they be-
came filed before the ceremonies began.
AT precisely seventeen minutes past
Speaker Carlislc's gaycl called the
House to order, and Saturdays session
was opened with prayer by the chap
lain, and the journal Of yesterday was
read. That ended the legislative bust
ness Of the day.
After the dedication ceremonies the
House was called to order, and at j:4j
=. VI. adjourned to Monday.
