Kindly Comical.

The \. y. Sun, poin ting the moral of
the falling-out between the editor Croft
fut. of the Washington post, and Pres
ident Cleveland, on the alleged decep-
tion of the former regarding Collector
Hedden's resignation, appropriately
saws:
The incident will he useful ifit serves
TO remind Mr.. Cleveland how easily a
misunderstanding or different point of
view, or an imperfect recollection of
what was really. said or done, may raise
direct question of veraclty between
two persons, and convince each Of them
that the other is liar. Men of sense,
men of affairs, gentldmen of honor and
courteous federation of human weak
nesses, constantly keep this principle
in mind and act upon it in their rela-
tons with other people.
There is much less deliberate living
done in the world than Mr.. Cleveland
supposes; there Is very much less Of
reckless and malicious Justification in
the newspaper press than is charged in
his two incorporate and rather boyish
letters on the subject.
If, however, there is, as Mr.. Croffut' s
charge implies, growing disposition
on the part of the President to resort
to Indirect and insincere forms of ex-
preston, let him check it before it be.

SUNSTRUCK.

We take the following from the
Madison Times of Saturday, the
9TH inst:
Four convicts were sunstruck on
Maj. Waddill's Oak Grove planta-
ton last week, two of them dying
before they could be taken to camp.
This is very unimportant Oc-
currence, only worthy of a passing
notice of four lines. 1t is only two
unfortunate wretches worked to
death on a Louisiana plantation
under blazing August sun, and
two others dangerously if not NOR
tally, overcome by the intensity OF
the heat. Who is it cares for them?
Yet on the broad plantations Of
the State, worked by free labor, we
have not heard of a single sun
stroke other than these, and pos
sibly there has not been one III all
the other Southern States during
August.
Indeed ii seems that the public
will become so accustomed to
these convict horrors that it will
grow callous and insusceptibie of
pity. But humane persons will not
fail to shulder when they see the
penitentiary yawn to receive the
felon. This will be the time when
pity is aroused, if it be not sooner
provoked in the jury box to the
detriment of justice and ali inflex-
ible and equal administration OF
the laws.-Truth, (Baton Rouge.
The above is a beautiful illustra-
ton of the old saying, that "there
are mono so blind as those who
won't see." Just exactly four
inches from the paragraph above
quoted, and in the same column
and the same issue Of the TIMES,
was this:
An old colored man employed
by Mr.. Litchlitcr was sunstrucE
last week.
Yet the Truth has not heard OF
any other case of sunstroke. The
sunstruck men got all the care thai
any other men could have gotten
and were not required to walk tC
the house. A cart had been sent
for, but death came before the carr
arrived. There is nothing to how,
about, no cause for q dissertation
on convict labor, and the remarks
| of the Truth are out of place in {
journal that makes any pretension:
of being fair, in view of the fac
that case Of sunstroke was re
corded of a free Iaborer at the same
time as the convict strokes.

THE PATRIOTS RUSE.
How Veteran Hunter Escaped Massacre
With Other Heroes at FannIn.

L
The LIGHT recorded the death Of vii.
liam Lockhart Hunter. the Texas yeter-
an who recently died in Austin, but the
life OF the dead veteran was too histori-
cal and eventful to be dealt with BY a
passing notice.
Hunter was Virgininn having been
born at WaynesbOTOugh, Virginia, on
December 18th, 1909. He came to Texas
I in 1889 and was ut That lime member
/ OF that distinguished regiment known as
THE New Orleans Greys lie was at
the siege of San Antonio when the Mex
! lean General Cos and his command
surrendered TO The Texas patriots Sub
sequently he was one OF the unfortunate
heroes who were imprisoned at Fan
min and was named for death
The morning that the heroes
were led out for massacre he
determined 10 escape. and with that
view watched all proceedings sharply
and COolly. He had decided on his plan
and meant, If possible, TO carry it out.
He watched the officer in command, and
when he gave the order fire" he
dropped to the ground as If dead. AZ
ter the shooting the MeXicRns proceeded
to rob the murdered heroes. 4 Mexican
solder removed Hunters boots without
noticing that the patrOit was not wOun-
ded. Then another solder came to re-
mous his Crayat, a new and gaudy one,
and Hunter accidentally gasped. The
soldier saw this, and eXClaiming, "No
estar mario" plunged his bayOnet sew
eral times into Hunters body. Hunter
subsequently exhibited thirteen scars,
showing how he was wounded. The
Mexican secur,d the cravat and
left Mr.. Hunter for dead, and he
nearly so for his right lung was pene-
trated, and he was weak from loss OF
blood. However, he rallied. and, man
aging TO crawl to the long grass, he lay
concealed there until the Mexioans
marched forward. After crawling and
walking four days without food and
water, ne came to place of safety.
Here he recovered as far as possible,
but his wounds troubled him until his
death.
The only other man who escaped from
Fannin, was John Duval, brother Of the
late Judge Duval. John Duval was
present at Hunters death and closed the
eyes OF his dead friend.
Before he died, Hunter said 81 am
Texan and wish to be buried with my
people and on Texas soil" In accord
ance with his request, his remains were
Inferred in the state cemetery at Austin.
There let the hero rest, but his memory
will be embalmed 10 the hearts of the
people.

AFTER THE PRIZE.
The San Antonio and Belknap Boys vii
Meet Again at Washington.

The San Antonio and Belknap Boys Will
Meet Again at Washington.
There is to be great drill In Wash
ingt0n, ID. c., on May 23rd, 1887, and the
eyes OF the crack companies are upon it,
And you can bet your bottom dollar that
the San Antonio and Belknap Rifles
have their eyes on the first prize, valued
at $4,000. The San Antonio bows
flushed by their victories at Lampasas
and Galveston, are eager to do or die,
and have already made up their minds
to go, and the Belknap boys, who are
anxious to meet the San Antonio Rifles
on an equal basis, will be there too.
When the Belknaps meet the San Anto-
MOS then comes the tug of war.
The committees in charge of the af-
fair are working hard, and Si2, 600 have
been collected already. This is but a
nucleus OF the prize fund which will
amount to over SlC1,000.
Already entries are being made. The
louisiana Field Artillery have entered
four detachments, and the Muscatine
Uowa) Rifles, the Vicksburg miss. J
Southrons, Jackson Mich Guards and
other companies have already entered,
and there can be no doubt that all COM
panies having any standing will COM
pete. The LIGHT is satisfied that the San
Antonio and Belknap boys will acquit
themselves like men and come out with
honors.

Reveal the primal mandate still,
Which chaos heard and ceased to be-

Shine far, shine free, a guiding light
To reasons way and virtues aim.
A lightning flash the wretch to smite,
Who shells his crimes within thy name.

IDEAL BROILING.

Broiling can be done in the oven of the
Charter Oak Range or Stove with the Wire
GauZe Oven Door, more perfectly than over
the live Goals.
Lay the steak, chops, ham or fish on a
wire broiler or meat rack, placing it in an
ordinary bake pan to catch the drippings.
Allow 1t TO remain in the oven with the
door closed Is or 20 minutes. No turning
Is required. AT the end Of this time it will
De found nicely cooked ready to serve.
There is no faint of cOal-gas or smoke,
and the meats are more tender and better in
flavor than those broiled over the Goals.
The convenience or broiling in the oven
will be appreciated by every house-keeper,
and adds another TO the many reasons why
the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the
wire Ganze Oven Door should be preferred
to all others now in the market.
