THE Queen of England seems to
have different ideas of dress from our
late head of the White House, Rose
Cleveland. Among the regulations of
the late drawing-room, she approved
of the following, among others, for the
guidance of ladies about to be present
ed: High, square-cut gowns (the
Cleveland idea cannot be considered
full dress" and are not admitted at
court. In case of delicate health her
majesty is pleased to dispense with
the above regulation, in which cases
ladies must apply for her majesty's
permission through the lord cham
berlain. This application must always
be accompanied by medical certifi-
cate. 1t seems a wonder such re-
mar xable order should be made inn
peritive. What pleasure can 1t be to
exhibit, as so many do, the empty
nest of charms which have so long
taken wing-for the attenuates to re-
veal an outline which has lost all
roundness-or for the corpulent to
uncover a surface which has lost all
freshness, and it is doubly distressing
to think how very little pleasure the
world has in viewing either. Judg-
ing from recent state shows the
charms of face and figure must no
longer be sought among the aristocracy
of England. The duchesses, at least
most of them, are parchment-skinned
and bony, or else loaded with coarse,
shaking fat; and numbers of the
younger women have compilations
that have been early spoiled by high
feeding. The Americans were admit
ted to have maintained the reputation
of the queens drawing-rooms for
beauty. The young and lovely can
comply with this mandate of the
queen. They may wear what they
please, and the less perhaps the better,
Miss Marion Langdon, in the beauty
unadorned of simple white dress,
bore away the palm. The regulation
feathers, too, made guys of many of
the ladies. The tips refused to be
controlled in the most obstinate FASH
ion, and asserted themselves almost
ridiculously. The regulation that

stances carried out with grotesque
faithfulness. The plumes reared
themselves aloft and waved In the

A New Musical Iustrument Invented.

A New Musical Iustrument Invented.
The story Of its first conception is one
of interest. When child Mr.. Hamilton
was chosen by the queen as the compan-
ion of Prince Arthur, whose studies he
shared, and thus had the finest training
that could be obtained. He grew up a
thoughtful, serious boy, full of vague as
pirations and lofty ideals-the tempera-
ment that is prone to dreams and visions
One day at a service in Westminster alb
hey he noticed, as he was coming out,
that the voice of boy chorister pene-
trated greater distance than the tones
of the organ itself, and he fell to won
dering why this should be; how it was
that the slender human mechanism
should possess greater carrying power
than the massive pipes Of the great Or
gan.
On this hint he set to work to devise
an instrument that should be similar in
of series of experiments the new in
strument, the vocation, is the result. Its
arrangement follows closely that of the
human throat. And its tones are said to
emulate those of the voice. A trial in
strument was shown in Music hall a few
months ago, and Mr.. Lang and other
musical judges gave it high approval.
1t is said that vocation of far greater
power than the largest organs can be se-
cured for one-fourth the cost. The per-
fection of the experiments on wind and
pipe instrument will be awaited with in
terest. The vocation combines the prin-
ciples Of theEolian harp and of the hui
man voicc.-Lillian Whiting in Inter

THE applications Of photography to
various new purposes are becoming
almost as numerous as those of elec-

relates a recent occurrence in France
in which a combination ofthe two serv-
ed very strange and remarkable pur-
porse. A large number Of workmen
were buried in cave in a hillside
by a landslide. II was found i'm
possible to dig them out; but a hole
was bored down TO the cave, through
the earth and rocks, large enough to
put in provisions and tools. As there
was no sign Of life 1t was determined
10 try and find out the condition of
the imprisoned men. An electric lamp
and Photographic camera provided
with sensitive plate, were let down

into the cave, and quite perfect pic

bodies of the men lying on the
ground. 1t also showed that enc Of

After these facts had been ascertained,
all attempts at rescue were given up;
but the novel means of investigation
employed were very creditable to the
ingenuity of the operators.

note, that in this particular, we shall CON
tinue in our employ the old force that has

The reputation of Mr.. Dick Scruggs,

PRINTERS, WIT.

Printers are witty, and there is species
of "diablerie" in their wit. 1t is bitter,
whitening, relentless. Woe to him that
provokes it, and is compelled to be of
their number, unless he has sharp
tongue that can retort in kind. A com
posing room not only takes the nonsense
out of men, it too often takes the senti-
ment and sociability out of them also. 1t
is severe school-like the hard training
for the prize ring; men not very strong
sink under it, and those who go through
with it lose something they would better
have kept. Any printer who shows an
noyance is at the mercy of all the rest.
and they have little mercy where satire
and sarcasm can wound. | have
known sensitive youths from
the country goaded almost
to madness by this intellectual hazing;
but they grew hardened to it after a while,
and gave as good as they received. Any
ridiculous speech or absurd act of a com.
positor becomes part of himself; haunts
him as spectre; follows him like a
shadow. Any ludicrous mistake he may
make clings to him as the shirt of Nessus,
and with much the same effect. 1t be-
comes tradition, not only of the Office in
which he is working, but of all the offices
in the country, for there is constant
intercommunicatio between them. He
may quit New York and go to New Or
leans, but he will find that the joke at his
expense has preceded him. What he has
done in Galveston travels faster than he,
and when he enters the Transcript or the
Post he finds that Boston has heard of his
blunder.

OSCEOLA ARCHER.

By reference to another column it will
be seen that Mr.. Osceola Archer announces
himself this morning as candidate for
county judge, subject to the action of the

Mr.. Archer occupies high stand in the
business and social circles of this city and
county, and in his profession is recog-
nized as one of the safest and most thor
ough lawyers at the Austin bar. He has
been resident of the county for many
years, is acquainted with the people and
familiar with their wants, and in every
way is well qualified to ill the position
he seeks.

EASTER SABBATH.
AND HOW IT WAS OBSERVED IN
AUSTIN CHURCHES.

Easter day broke dark and ominous
upon the city. Lowering clouds hung
low upon the horizon. From an early
hour to about 1890 a. IN. the fall of rain
was almost unceasing. 1t was not del
uging down-pour, but rather a steady
drizzle, varied by occasional outbursts,
such as are common to this latitude and
season. At the hour mentioned, however,
the struggling sun rifted its way through
the banked clouds and kindled into dia-
mond brightness the beaded drops which
still hung upon flower, shrub and grass
blade. 1t was an omen of happy portent
ia the church-goers of Austin. From
SCORE OF BRAzEN THRoATs
the church bells chimed out q summons
to the places of worship, which were an
swered by responsive hearts which said:
II was glad when they said unto me, Let
us 90 up to the house of the Lord"
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
At this church morning service was held
by Rev. Rufus G. BurlesOn, d. D., of
Waco. His text was that portion of
Scripture which declares: "The knowledge
of the Lord shall cover the whole earth,
even as the waters cover the channels of
the sea-" The argument was that, despite
the reasonings of optimists on the one
hand, and pessimists on the other, there
was a golden mean between the two,
from which the worlds true moral status
might be read. 1t was maintained that
on every hand evidences were abundant
that the world is growing better. From a
standpoint of high conservatism the
speaker briefly reviewed the labor trou-
bles of the country, and drew from
the perturbed condition of things some
practical deductions. The attention of
the large congregation was held by the
venerable speaker throughout.
ST. MABY's (oATHoL1o) CHURCH.
The Easter services at this church were
grandly Impressive. Its congregations
at both>services were of the largest that
assembled in the city. The days service
was begun by the celebration of low mass
and general communion at 1870 a, m. At
1920 in the afternoon the solemn service
of high mass was held by Revs. 2. Hurth,
p Louth and j. Louth, following which
was an able discourse on the Resurrection
by Rev. p. Louth.
The vesper service was begun at 1880 P.

press will keep booming the subject until
the legislature will take hold of the matter
in earnest:
Why is it that the great state of Texas
cannot pay the expenses of geological
survey to furnish information much
needed in regard to its resources!
1t is evident from the history of every
portion of the United States that vast re-
sources often lie undeveloped and I'M
noticed for generations, because the mass
of the people do not and cannot be ex-
pected to possess the knowledge necessary
to determine where it is safe to invest
money in order to bring from the earth
her hidden treasures.
1t is known through private sources and
individual research, that there is an album
dance of natural gas to be found in
Eastern Texas; that it divides in Gregg
county; one branch continues in a south
erly direction, while the other takes a
more easterly direction, through San Au-
gustine and Jasper counties, and returns
to the main line near Hardin.
In this belt are found some lakes, tar
springs and sulphur This vein continues
through Jefferson county, and finds an
outlet in the gulf, forming the 'oil pond"
a few miles to the westward of Sabine
Pass. The oil rises to the surface, and by
the action of the sun and salt water, the
paraffine is eliminated, and, being
washed ashore, is called sea wax.
Surface indications are as favorable at
Rusk and some other points in eastern
Texas as at Birmingham, Ala, for both coal
and iron. Yet, the state has not expended
dollar in investigating these resources,
and iron is only manufactured with char
coal. Texas, doubtless, has good coal
beds that are yet undiscovered and may
remain so for half century to come, if
no effort is made by the state to find
them.
The members of the Legislature are too
economical to make an appropriation for
geological survey of the state, and yet
the time consumed in listening to long
winded speeches on subjects of minor
importance costs more each year than the
expense of a thorough survey of the state
would amount to.

THE LABORTROUBLE AND THE
CLERGY.

'In the present crisis of the labor agi-
tation, one of the encouraging signs is the
earnestness with which the clergy as a
class are taking hold of the matter Not
long ago one of the professional labor re-
formers made the assertion that there
were but one or two clergymen in the
country who had given any serious atten-
ton to the labor question. The remark
was very far from being true at the time
when it was made: apart from the profess
fessors of political economy, the ministers
of the gospel have given the subject more
intelligent study than any other class of
professional men. But during the last
year their interest in the matter has been
greatly quickened; it is the uppermost
theme in their assemblies; and the duty
of the christian church to enforce the OBJ
legations which wealth and power involve,
and to preach to all classes the gospel of
goodwill, is clearly discerned. Whatever
reason there may have been for the charge
that the church was on the side of capital
in tits conflict, it is evident that the pas
tors of the churches are now generally and
heartily endeavoring to remove that re-
proach, and to assert with all fidelity the
| rights of the weak and the duties of the
strong. The fact that the moral power OF
the christian church is now exerted in be-
half of justice and humanity encourages
the hope that a peaceful solution of the
difficulty nay be reached in due season..
