The Hoffman Case.

Mr., John Hoffman, the proprietor of
a beer hall, employed the Tyrolese
singers to perform in his hall for the
past three nights. The first night, In
order to meet his increased expenses
and also the better to provide for the
comfort of his guests, he demanded an
entrance fee OF 10 cents, which probably
entitled the holder to glass of beer,
but, however the case, as might have
been expected, some one took advan,,
lige of this to report the matter, and
ne was promptly arrested upon a
charge of running an exhibition with
out a license. The case WAS called by
Recorder Field yesterday morning
aud a jury imposed a
nne Of $40 ana costs, whereupon he
through his attorneys, motioued for a
new trial, and Recorder Field took the
natter under advisement until to-
nolroS.
HI. Hoffman says the question u
simply whether or not q man has
nght to put his own price upon hi
goods aud wares.

Cottop-Seed OH,

The Howard Oil combination may

this state in the production of cotton
seed oil. We are informed that n. r.,
Ranpey, of the Collin county cotton
seed oil mill, was in the city yesterday
comforting with the directors OF the
Fort Worth oil mill In regard to future
operatiops OF the mills that are not In

twenty-seyen mills in this state, ana
six or seven OF these are In the comoi-
nation-in other words, make a con-
tract with each other, dividing pronts
according to cost OF mill ana machln'
ery. This course Of the oil mill com,
bination leaves out about twenty o.
the mills in the state. They are AZ
mills OF about twenty tons capacity
and they propose to buy seed ana
manufacture oil, having their own eH'
porter and can run their mills al
much less ex pense and control laTgel
amount Of seed in proportion than the
large mills OF 100 tons or more capa,
ity. Mr.. Ranney, who represent

The grounds selected are the most

bent. There is plenty of open coun-
IN, shade and water. The Texas &

bod ROADS leading from the city to
BE place OF encampment, so that
buses and carriages can be used as
beans OF transportation.
II Is said that one of the street rail
bays is contemplating the practica.
bllity OF building temporary track to
HE encampment grounds. Should
/ Ibis be done every facility OF transport
ltion will be afforded all that attend
|he encampment. The Texas Il Pa
|dfc company will run special trains
tor the accommodation OF visitors at s
EhsSge of25 cents for the round trip.

|mittee was instructed to correspond
with the.well-known Citizens Cornet
