SAN MARCOS, October 11.-Honorable G. W.
Jones and Mr. A. s. Burleson returned
turned to-day, from Mason, where they had gone
as assistant attorneys for the state against the
Light boys for the murder of Mr. Joe Kyle. A
change of venue was had to Mccullough, and the
trial goes over to the next term of district court in
that county. Messrs. Felix and Ferg Kyle, father
and uncle of Joe Kyle, were also with the return
ing party
Mr.. w. K Price, saddler of our little city,
pricled his hand with needle while working on
some new saddle trees last Friday. Saturday his
hand began swelling up terribly, and Sunday the
pain was almost unbearable. To-day the pain is
not 50 serious, though the hand is three times its
usual size. Poison from the paint on the saddle
trees evidently caused the swelling.
The whole society talk nov is "Pinafore" and
"Sweet Little Butter Cups" The cast of charac-
ter5 viii be decided on tonight. In such matters,
san Marcos is prominent
Farmers are taking advantage of the excellent
weather for cotton picking and very few idle away
the sunlight hours.
Hon. G. w. Jones and Mr.. A. s. Burleson took
this evenings cars for Austin.
SAN MARCOS, October 12.-There is an old idea
that politics and business not friendly terms,
but somehow they are hand in glove at San Marcos
just now. Business is ON a boom, and politics,
like the conventional green bay tree all life. This
being the county site, politics would naturally be
expected to radate from the court house. but for a
double reason this year. this is the political mecca
of Hays county. Nearly all of the ambitious aspir-
ants have their habitat in San Marcos, or the i'm
mediate neighbornood. There is no republican op-
position, and the county race is free for-all con-
Test, with quite numerous entry list-eighteen of
whom receive campaign communications from our
postOtCe. peculiar feature of the canvass is the
fact that, without exception, the candidates are
men of 1lnexceptionable standing and have strong
personal support. In word, the political con-
test may be likened to garter, tight all round.
Hon. Geo. II. McGee, democratic nominee for the
legislature, returned to-day from & canvass of
Caldwell and Guadaloupe counties. He met
warm reception everywhere, and is highly e!ated
over his trip. This is his first political venture,
certainly occupy seat in the lower house of the
legislature at their next session. Hon. }. X: Eli
SON. NJ r. McGee's colleague, is also in the city to-
day
There IS to be surprise party at the residence of
Mrs, hOle to night. The society stOrmers meet at

"Woman" or "Lady.


In the course of the trial of Pastor Stanton be-
fore the Brooklyn Presbytery on Monday consid-
cradle discussion was excited by the use of the
word "woman" in referring to a person promi-
nently mentioned in the specification of charges
1t was, Of course, we'll understood that the
thus referred to was of good social position and,
indeed, no other than the pastors wife hence the
reverend counsel for the defense insisted that
'tlady" was the proper term to be employed.
1t may seem strange that in case of such
gravity as the trial of a clergyman on a matter
involving nothing less than disgrace and social
death so triaing thing as the of the generic
for the partitive term should have been dwelt on
with such emphasis. But it is matter of motor
iety that many persons consider the word "woman"
to imply inferiority low station OF Intentional
disparagement, and insist that every we'll con-
Quoted female is entitled to be referred to as a
"lady."
The distinction between "woman" and Gladly"
is easily drawn. Every lady is woman, but
evnry woman is not lady Iftho lattor torn hos
any meaning whatever it is pure compliment,
and neither the law nor the church recognizes
compliments. The law speaks of "men" and
"women )" the church does the same thing. Christ
expressly addressed His mother as "woman," and
in every case women alone referred to in
Scripture, whether in terms OF praise of deroga-
ton. The Romans used the words muller femina,
without implying either compliment or disrespect.
Strictly speaking, the term 'lady" is feudal
expression, and implies woman of title or exalt-
ed position in land where social distinctions
recognized In America at the present day, the
term is greatly perverted and has really no moan
ing ct all. "Woman" is alike honorable and
proper to be used, whether in the generic or par
titive sense, and no right-mind or reaectn e
person will be offended by Its application.

A Very Ingenious Swindle.

The cutting down of barrels is queer process
and dishonest one, but it has so far proved prof
table to the commission merchants who practice
It. The "cuttng down" is very simple. Barrels
of ordinary size that have been used before are
sent by the commission merchants and market
farmers to second hand cooperages, where a cou-
nle of inches are dexterously cut off the top or a
stave is taken out of the side of the barrels which
are then hoped up by the cooper as fullsized.
This extra inch cut off barrel twenty eight in
ches high, containing three bushels, saves one
half peck to the barrel, and that is an important
item to large handlers OF farm produce. At TINS
season sweet potatoes, apples, pears and cranber-
ries are the principal products shipped in barrels
and the extra profit derived from this trick is in
the aggregate immense. 1t is estimated that
nearly one-half of the fruit sent out of the city
and sold by measure is shipped in barrels of less
than legal capacity, and the consequent saving to
the merchants by this swindle can well be estima-
ted as absolutely enormous.

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON

Senator Don Cameron sold this week three
and a-half acres of land on Columbia Heights
Washington, for S25, 900.
Mr.. Benedict, the new Government printer
is rapidly chopping off heads in his department
in order, he says, to cut down expenses.
The President held his first public reception
since his return from his summer trip on Friday
afternoon of last week, but the attendance was
small.
The Royal Arch Masons, who held a meeting
in Washington this week, called upon the Presi-
dent in body on v ednesday. He greeted them
all most cordially and had a pleasant word for
each.
Since her return to Washington Mrs. Cleve-
land drives ont every day and has been to the
theatre several times. Her mother is with her
and will hereafter make her home at the White
House.
Secretary Manning is expected back in Wash
ington next week, when he will resume bis duties
in the Department. 1t is believed, however, that
he will remain in the Cabinet only short time
longer.
Much anxiety is beginning to be shown in
Washington to know whether or not the President
will 60 into society next winter. tits we'll known
that be takes very little interest in such matters,
but it is expected that his vile will "bring him
out"
The fine large mansion on X street, formerly
the residence of the late Secretary Stanton, was
sold few days ago for S21, 900, a sum represen-
ting not one-half its value. The Secretary died
very suddenly in this house and it was believed
by some that he committed suicide.
The valuable collection of medals, swords,
decorations &C., belonging to Gen. Grant and pre-
scented by his family to the Government, and to
be placed in the National Museum, where they
will become an interesting and attractive feature.
The collection is large and will require consider
able space for its proper display.
"A few days ago Col. Lamont the Presidents
private secretary, was told that large number of
clerks in the departments had lately changed
their politics so as to be in accord with the ad.
ministration, when the Col. is said to have ex-
pressed himself as follows; "That is just the
class want to get after. want to put them on
the list. You will do me personal favor if you
will get the names of all such men you discover"

required. My estate is small, and my wife and
children ought to have every dollar for their sup
port Let no false pride dictate DESTINATIONS dis
play, for after the soul departs from the body it
matters little what becomes of that body so that
it is decentIy buried. God will protect the dust,
and on the resurrection day gather all together

wife, and appoints her guardian of their children
and executrix of his will.

G@ Virgins prediction that the world would
come to an end on Wednesday, September 29th,
caused the most intense excitement among the
colored people of the South, particularly in
Georgia, where the more ignorant ones quit work
and made every preparation for "the end" Camp
meetings and prayer-meetings were in progress
day and night and preachers were in great de-
mand. Many of the people sold all their effects
and moved from the towns into the country, while
others left the State and came north. Slight
earthquake shocks were felt in Georgia on Tues
day and these only added to the excitement, the
colored people believing that they were the fore
runners of what would actually take place the
the next day. The newspapers of Georgia have
been denouncing Virgins and his predictions,
declaring them to be utterly unreliable, DO, but
these efforts on the part of the press had no effect
upon the ignorant classes who could not read and
who seemed convinced that the predictions would
be verified It is said that thousands of white
people were also wrought up to high state of
excitement, believing that the end of all this was
really at hand.
