A veteran aud Patriot Gone.

Death removed an old and honored citi-
zen of Texas yesterday in the person OF
Mr.. j. f. Edrlpgton, who passed peace
fully away at the home OF his nephew,
Col. II. c. Darlington, cashier OF the
Traders National bank.
The deceased was native OF South
Carolina, and came to Texas, then a re-
public, IN 1889. He first located at Aus
tin and engaged in merchandising. In all
the stirring scenes of those early days he
took an active part. His first
service was as volunteer against
the Cherokee Indians In q
campaign on the Angelina rive;. He was
among those who resisted the removal
OF the archives from Austin, but after.
ward when Washington was made the
capital went to that city to live, and re-
manned in business there for many years
Mr.. Burlington entered the Confederate
service as volunteer, and after the war
settled at Bryan. For the last three
years he has been member OF his rela-
tive's family in this city,
Mr.. Burlington was man that CON-
manded the respect OF everybody. He
was one of the few men whose knowledge
of Texas, extending over q period OF
nearly half d century, was complete and
accurate. To hear him speak Of the pio-
neer epoch with its thrilling episodes anc
heroic achievements was In the highest
degree entertaining. No man tooh
greater pride In the welfare Of Texas, and
truer patriot neverlived. Next to Texas
he loved the Democratic party, for which
he had ever faithfully worked, and IL
whose success ne gloried. Mr.. Edring
ton never married, and was seventy-twc
years old when he died.
The funeral occurs from Col. II. G
Edripgton's residence at 10 O'Clock this
morning

According TO a previous call OF the
ministers OF The colored churches OF this

day at the place and time appointed
Rev. w. b, Hays, Rev j. II. Baptist and

fered and adopted;
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, preachers are the educators
of the people in matters of religion. aud
the unity, harmony and well-beiug of the
people depend 10 great measure upon
our action. While Europe aud America
have produced their in6dels, the Ameri-
can negro is ever disposed to cleaye 10 A
sound theology. But we must guard
against superstition and fanaticism, lest
we render ourselves producing faction
OF the great enemy of God and man
therefore be 1t
Resolved, that we summon our entire
powers, mental, moral and spiritual, to
bring about q more thorough knowledge
of the Bible and practice OF its teachings
among our peorle.
Resolved, further, that we bless the vir-
tuous and pity the vicious.
Resolved, further, that we deem 1t but
just that we should speak on the subject
of education, and our sentiment is that
we have complete system of schools and
a proficient corps Of teachers. We SYM
pathize with them in their efforts to res
cue our children from illiterate graves,
and we invite all the public and the
schools to attend an educational sermon
to be preached by each of US a time

will visit, and also induce patrons to visit
said schools.

THE NEW BAIL BOND
Ordinance OF Chicago AnnOys Pris-
Oners Convicted for Petty
OHenses.

CHICAGO, December 13-The prin.
cipal police stations were unusually
crowded yesterday, it being the first
Sunday on which the new ordinance
relative to bail bonds was in force.
Down stairs in the cells were men who
had committed triAing offenses. All
were clamoring to b5 let out. Many
who had sent notes to influential
friends were denouncing these friends
because they had not secured their re-
lease. The desk sergeants were kept
busy answering The questions of men
who dropped in to see uif they could
secure the release of prisoners by put
ting up deposit Many Of these bad
secured the releas5 Of their friends on
former occasions. They were shocked
when they heard the provisions of the
new law. Some tiled to intimidate the
police authorities into releasing their
friends, while others tried to effect
their purpose by pleading The new
law provides thai only property own
ers can sign bond, and the only other
alternative is to deposit 5000 with the
station keeper. A clause in the ordi-
nance, which has been overlooked,
allows the police captains and lieuten.
ants to take special deposits sm aller
than those specified by the law. The
matter is left discretionary with the
police officials. At Harrison street
several $50 deposits have been taken
for men who have committed small
otfenses, where the highest foe wou'd
have been 500.

Tahe Action On the American opera
Ballet and the Dow Law.

CINCINNATI o., December 13.-Tbe
EvanRelstic Association, composed of
ministers al the differa1t Protestant
Evangelical churches Of Cincinnati
ami vicinity, held IN unusually large
meeting today and considered two
mstiers-the ballet in the opera 90
recently presento d here by the Amer
lean 0isrs Company, aad the Dow
law taxing saloons. The ballet was
quickly disposed CT by the adoption of
a preamble and resolutions reciting
that,
WHEREAS, The question of the propriety
Of encouraging such theatrical or operate
exhibitions as include the ballet has b en-
tian people Of this city by Its introduction
into Music Hall and by the encouragement
and patronage given it, though unwittingly,
as we have good reason to believe, by pro-
iessedly Christian people; and whereas,
some of the newspapers have not only cham
pioned these exhibitions as proper and right,
but one of them (the Commercial Gdzette)
has also, in an unjustifiable manner, at
tackled and, as we oeliese, slandered some
OF those who felt it their duty to oppose
them; therefore,
Resolved, That in the judgment of this as
ISOLATION the tendency of all such exhibit
tions ia in favor Of irreligion and immoral
ity, and should receive no countenance from
anyone interested In the moral and religious
welfare of our population.
The Dow law was treated by pa
per read by DER. II. Leonard (uot
the famous Probibitionisi) fsvoring
law as against absolute prohibition,
No opposition to DR.. Leonard's views
found expression.
