the city yesterday, taking dinner at the St.

lectured last night. A reporter caught her
Just as she was stepping on the cars, and
in answer TO ~interrogatious as to whether
she would be a candidate for Presidential
honors next time, she said that she would,
and started to give the scribe a few points
on womau's rights when the conductor
shouted AL on board" aud the train
whirled swiftly away, and the last being
seen of Belva she was waving an sdieu

A Mean Man.
To show how contemptibly mean some
men are, the following instance is cited: A
tramp applied at q boarding house kept BY
a widow woman in the Sixth ward yester-
day and asked for something 70 eat. The
landlady gave him lunch and he then
ssked for coffee and she informed HIN she
had none. This riled him, and he asked
for q piece of paper and when she told him
she bad none. the villain asked: "Well, you
old fool, Why don't hunt someY' and he
would have probably further insuked the
lady had she not slammed the door in
his face. Such men ought to be strung up.

Dude on Rollers.
Last evening Prof F. F. Billings made
his first appearance in the city at the Chap-
line street rink. He first gave . very
scientific performance OF fancy skating,
which was much admired by the large
audience present. He then attired himself
as the Madison Square dude and gave apeer-
fornauce such as an individual OF the
species would give. 1t wss quite funny, as
the laughter of the spectators proved. Inc
Prot gives another performance TO night
which everybody should witness.
Lost Pocketbook Found.
The Q o'clock car on the Elm Grove road
last Saturday night was the scene of an In
teresting little incident. A passenger, Mrs.
PAUL, discovered that she had lost her
pocketbook. 1t was proposed that every
body on the car submit to a search, as there
was a suspicious character on board. The
search was made, but the result did not re-
veal the missing pocketbook. However, it
was shortly found on the back Platform,
where. it is presumed, it was throwa by the
suspicious occupant OF the car.
PostoHlce Robbery.
The postofice at New Alexandria, Ohio.
a small town six miles southwest OF Steu-
h~enville, was broken into and robbed, Sun
dsy night. The thieves gained an entrance
10 the building by cutting a hole through
he panel ofthe door. They secured fifteen
dollars in money, several dollars in stamps,
and a registered letter out of the office, and
a considerable amount ofsiIk and such other
articles which could be haudily carried,
from the general store, which is carried on
n connection with the postofice.
Free whisky.
Sunday night or Monday morning some
thief or thieves broke a pane OF glass in the
front door Of the Howell House sample
rooms, and reached through and unlocked
the door. The money drawer was riied Of
R ANAL amount of money, and a gallon OF
whisky taken. Nothing else was disturbed
The thieves were probably parties who
wished 10 get on a little bender, and could
cot find the necessary enthusiasm. So they
took this means of obtaining it.

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-04-02

Some of Guiteau maledictions
have been strikingly verified. In one
of his moments of real or assumed
passion it will be recalled, not long be.
fore his execution, he held his Bible
high in air and with eyes rolling, and
crashing of teeth, predicted that the
Republicans had elected their last
President; that Arthur would fail of
the nomination witch would go to
Blaine and Blaine would be defeated
The fatalities lending those asso
clated in the pr, secution are remark
able. The district Attorney, cursed
by the assassin, soon lost his wife and
Office. Two of the attendant bailffs
have died. OF the jury that convict
ed him one has died, two have been
incarcerated as lunatics, two have
failed In business and the rest have seen
nothing but trouble ever since. The
doctor who testified to his sanity was
soon after murderously attacked by a
crazy patient; hotel belonging to the
judge who sentenced Guiteau. fell sud-
denly one night and killed several per-
sons. Guiteau's brother in-law and
sister were divorced, marshal Henry,
was disgraced, DR.. Woodward died,
DR.. Bliss lost mis- health-and the back
counties to hear from. AS cuss-ist

ial smile for every man he meets. 1t
is safe to say that scarcely a news
paper man in Texas is better liked
than lobe Mitchell, and his numerous
friends will regret to hear of his pres.
ent mishap.
In regard to the other
man, but little could be CLEAN
ed except that he is Jew,
lives in Galveston, and is ward poll
ticlan by occupation. Nothing more
is known of him, except that on the
assembling of the legislature he
sought, and was elected to clerk
ship in the Senate. Although
arrested only for disturbing the
peace, he will find faI
more serious charge to confront this
morning. An assault with intent to
murder, or perchance, murder itself
may have to he atoned for by this ex-
tremely sensitive young fellow from
the Gulf. Without asking for an ex
PLANTATION or apology, he abuses a gen
tleman with eDithets OF coarse an(
most ruffianly character, ant
few moments later he seeks to muir
der the man whom he had grossly ant
indecently affronted.

The Greek Idea of Death.

A writer in MacmIllan's Magazine
says, a Greek peasant looks upon
death quite differently from what a
peasant of the Western world is
taught to believe. To him it is the
end of all joy and gladness; the songs
over his body (myriologues) speak of
the black earth, the end of light and
brilliancy. A populpr Klephtic song
on the death OF Zedros, when read by
the side of Sophocles' des-
cription of the death of Ajax,
shows how curiously alike
are the ideas of death as painted in
the two poems. Charon is still be-
lieved to be a white-haired old man
with long and fearful nails, and in
myriologues or lamentations, which
are still of everyday occurrence in the
island, you actually hear of Charon's
caique. He is now spoken of as
Charos. In some parts of Greece they
still, 1t is said, put money in the
mouth of a deceased person to pay the
pa ipe. At the funeral of a child in
q inountain village of Naxos, a wax
cross was put in the child's mouth by
the priest, and on inquiry, the writer
was told that it was the freight
money, so completely has the Eastern
Church incorporated into itself the
ancient ideas.

Decline of Ouakerism

Boston Journal: There is a plain
little red church in Albany at which
the Quakers have worshipped for
more than half a century. Formerly
the ediice was filed every Sabbath by
a prim, quiet congregation, who gath
cred from the surrounding country.
OF late years the membership has
gradually decayed, until now there is
no pastor, but at IL o'clock on Sun
days the door is unlocked and seven or
eight persons enter and take seats. No
word is spoken usually, and after an
hours quiet meditation the Oldest one
present will arise and stretch out his
hand to the one sitting nearest to him.
Hands are shaken all around and the
congregation departs to repeat the
same thing the next Sunday. If tAe
Spirit moves any one to pray or
speak he does so. -Four times year
a general meeting is held, and then
twenty or twenty-five persons gather,
and once or twice a year preacher
attends. And this is the life of the
the church. Quakerism does not
appeal to the sympathies of the people
of the present day.

BAD ON BATS.
Dr.. Carver Kills a Thousand of Them IN
Eighty Minutes.

DE-. Carver Kills q Thousand of Them In
Eighty Minutes.
Quite large crowd of people assem-
bled at the Fair Grounds Sunday af-
ternoon to witness DR.. Carver perform
some of his remarkable exploits in
shooting. His first exhibition was
with stationary targets. Here he eX-
ecuted some wonderful shots; as shoot
ing without taking aim, with the rifle
sideways, hip shooting, shooting with
rifle upside down, etc. But the most
remarkable feat was the looking-glasS
shot. Turning his back to glass ball,
he sighted iC by means of mirror
and broke it to atoms amid the cheers
of the assemblage.
Then commenced flying shots with
the rifle, and here his magnificent
craftsmanship won repeated applause.
Balls, marbles, blocks of wood, stones
and other objects were tossed IN the
air only to be knocked whirling by
the Doctors unerring aim. Then he
commenced to shoot souvenirs for the
crowd, and bored holes or indented
scores of dollars, halves, quarters and
even nickels, with his Winchester. MOI
few of the coins were knocked sc
far that they were never found again
After this was over, commences the
real fun of the occasion-the shoot
ing of bats. By bats is meant the
little Leather wings" and not the big
"bull bat" that every amateur Cal
bring down. The bats shot by the
Doctor are not much digger than
butterfly, and fly as irregularly-h
the difficulty i'll killing them. 1t was
Il novel sight to see him do it, anC
very entertaining. He used repeating
shot-guns and it was almost marvel
ous to witness the quickness Of his
action, as well as the accuracy of hi!
aim. Down came the bats on every
side. 1t fairly seemed to rain bats
but the slaughter never ceased
till an even thousand OF the leathe
wings lay in the dust. Nobody be-
lieved when 1t was first announced
that Carver intended to kill that mum
Der in eighty minutes that he coul(
do it. He did do it ana had TIVE
minuUes to spare, having finished thu
job in seventy-eight minutes. TO d'
! it required not only accuracy OF aim
but powers of endurance that few mel
possess. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether another living man coul'
perform the same feat. He is beyon'
a doubt the greatest marksm IN in tn
, world.
He will linger here few days an,
then he goes to San Antonio. Con
!, tinuing southwark he will visit Mex
! leo, Cuba and South America. From
, there he will journey up the Pacific t
, California, and thence across the oceal
!. f Australia.
