Moved to Austin,

We copy the following personal from
the Evansville, Wis, Review as to Mr.,
Chas. +, F. Pullen, who has recently been
engaged By H. H. Hazard & Co. in their
Office. Mr.. Pullen was vice-president of
the Evansville bank, and comes to Austin
highly recommended, and we trust he will
find Austin pleasant home.
Mr.. c. F. P. Pullen, who is about to
assume an important business position in
Austin, Tex, IN lerwent a double surprise
last Friday evening. The NJ. E. choir, of
which he has been for some time the
efficient leader, presented him an elegant
silver goblet during choir practice
in the church. Soon after this
pleasant incident messenger
came with the word that he was wanted at
home Immediately. In a somewhat puz
zled state of mind he reached the Pullen
mansion, and, on entering the front door,
vas greeted by company of friends
Numbering about 100. Rev. L. n. Wheeler,
on behalf of those present, with few ap-
propriate remarks, presented him with a
gold-headed cane; also an album, which
was soon nearly filled with names. Mr..
Pullen was emphstically surprised, but
managed to give expression to his appre-
citation and gratitude. The occasion was
heartily enjoyed and was fitting express
sion of the high esteem in which the gen.
hemsn is held by his many friends. he
will be greatly missed in church, musical
and busicess circles.

County Teachers Institute.

At regular monthly meeting of the
County Teachers institute, carefully
prepared paper on "The Object of Rec
itation," was read by Professor Joe
Rodgers, of Manor. Following this was a
most excellent and instructive paper on
"Object Teaching" by Miss Artle Num-
bers, of the Austin public schools. Pro-
fessor Robinson made some happy i'm
promptu remarks on "Morsl Teaching ~
Judge Fillmore, who has lost none of his
well known interest in education, was
present and favored the institute with a
short address, in which he urged upon the
teachers present, the supreme Importance
of attending the institute meetings, and
of devoting themselves to professional
work. His remarks were we'll received.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Mont
gomery read paper on Reading" that
received close attention. Prof. G. A.
Bryant addressed thu institute on the sub.
ject of the Reading Circle" A partial
organization was effected by electing R
W. Lowry permanent president of the
County Reading circle, aud Mr.. Hufford
secretary.
An interesting programme was adopted
for the next regular meeting of the insti-
tute, which takes place on the first Satur-
day in December. Some of the very best
teachers in the city and county are on
this programme, and every teacher and
all persons interested in the cause Of
education are most cordially invited to be
present. Especially is warm invitation
extended to the county trustees to meet
their teachers in the institute and see
the work they are doing.
Some very excellent band music may
be expected at the next meeting.

Passed AWaV.

Late Saturday afternoon Mrs. Eliza 7.
Cook, cOnsort of the late Abner II. Cook,
was stricken with paralysis and in spite Of
skilled medical attention died Sunday
afternoon at O'Clock.
Mrs. Cook was among the oldest citizens
of Austin, having settled h are in 1889, W ca
Austin consisted of only few log cabins
She was formerly Mrs. Logan and two
SONS Mr.. George W. Logan, of Williamson
county, and Mr.. Lonnie Logan, of Wash
ington City, survive her. A few years
after the death of Mr.. Logan she married
Col. Abner d. Cook, and Mr.. Abner H.
Cook jr., Mr.. Charlie Cook and Doctor
Edgar Cook, of Trinity, survive her.
In the early days of this city Mrs. Cook
was distinguished for hospitality, and all
through her life she was noted for
kindness to the poor, and until
old age compelled her to cease from her
labors no one in the city was more active
in deeds of charity or more dilligent in
promoting whatever would contribute to
the happiness of those among whom she
moved At the time of her death and
from its first organization she was
member of the Southern Presbyterian
church.
Her funeral occurred last afternoon
Doctor Smoot officiating. A large
cortege of friends followed her remains to
their last resting place.

THE DEATH RACKET.
How It is Worked by Shy but
Impecunious Coons.

A prominent citizen was met yesterday
morning as he came out of the postoflict
by stout, burly negro man, apparently
healthy and able to work, who presented 6
paper to him asking the gentleman tc
give him 81, saying that his mother had
died tho night before and he desired the
money.to bury her. Later IN the day the
same gentleman was met by another negro
who also had paper asking contribu-
ton to ward the burial of his wife, who
had died the night before.
The same afternoon this same gentle
man was met by negro boy about Is or
10 years old, who asked a contribution to
bury his mother who had died the night
before. The question is, were there three
deaths. Now, no such deaths occurred in
this city, and the stories we're gotten up
TO excite sympathy and thereby raise the
needful. The colored or white man with
a doleful tale of death and such things
calls on you for money for burial pur-
poses. Don't give up any, for they are
frauds.

THE SAN ANTONIO FAIR.
It Will Open Next Tuesday With
a Big Exhibit.

The San Antonio flair opened Tues
day and it is going to be success. A
| beautiful tract OF land in the suburbs OF the
| CITY between the first and second missions
and adjoining Riverside park has been
selected for the exposition grounds, COW
cred with ample shade, and along one side
of which the San Antonio river glides in
all it's rIppling loneliness. Both the park
and the grounds are being improved and
adorned with such buildings and
appliances as are found at the most COM
plete and attractive fairs and expositiOns
the chief aim IN construction being
style, capacity and permanency. This
includes the largest exhibition hall in the
state, a model of architecture; machinery
hall, agricultural hall, grand stand for
10000 people, a splendid three-q quarter
mile race track, and ample stables,
sheds and pens for live stock, besides
many other modern Improvements, in
Guiding plenty of light and water.
The southern latitude of San Antonio
with its mild and genial climate, render
ing it the most famous winter resort In
the south, enables this association to hold
its fairs and exposition much later In the
season than elsewhere throughout the
United States, thus securing the best ex
hibits and most noted attractions found
at other prominent and earlier fairs. A
striking illustration of this will be in the
horse racing, which will be made leading
feature of the fair and exposition; the fall
races closing at the San Antonio fair, an
effort will be made to have the finest
stables winter here, and open the spring
races on the track of this association.
The Southwestern immigration ascot
alton, embracing forty counties tributary
to San Antonio, is assisting this associ-
alton in securing county exhibits from
this immediate section, and every county
in Texas is cordially invited to make an
exhibit.
Individual exhibits of live stock and
poultry and farm, orchard, garden, dairy,
apiary, shop and factory products, as well
as examples of handiwork for home COM
fort and ornament, etc, will receive
special attention in their appropriate de-
partments.
Among other attractions will be grand
military parades and exhibitions, contests
by bands of music and singing societies,
gun club and base ball tournaments, COW
boy ropirg contests and feats of horse
manship, balloon ascensions, each day on
the grounds; and at night magnificent
displays of fireworks by the world re-
nowned pyrotechnists, Pain d Son, of
London, England, and dancing in new
and beautiful pavilion, the largest in the
state,

AROUND THE CAPITOL,
Matters and Things Picked Up in
Tour of the Departments.

The governor has been notified that
Architect Miller, the expert to examine
the new capitol, will be here next Monday.
The county attorney of Ell Paso county
writes the governor that the Mexican
government is constructing a dam across
the Rio Grande short distance above FL
Paso, which may cause great damage to
the Texas side of the river during freshets.
The object of the dam is to prevent dam
age to the Mexican side during high water,
but while doing SO, it is alleged that it
will be disastrous to this side of the river.
The matter was referred to the Washing
ton authorities.
The governor has received the follow
ing, which explas itself:
ATLANTA, Ga, November 8, 1888.

the Union and others interested in forest
~ are respectfully requested to give the
delegates to the Atlanta forestry congress

THE NEXT FORESTRY CONGRESS.
By invitation of the legislature of
Georgia the forestry congress of this year
will be held in Atlanta, Ga, on December

the autumn elections, and, also, to give

IN OUR SOCIETY.
The entertainments Given to the
Charming Debutantes Continue.

The Entertainments Given to the
Charming Debutantes Continue.
Miss Minnie Pope, the beautiful daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Pope, is the third
of this seasons debutantes to be ushered
formally into the circles of society. The
gay ceremony of introduction was cele-
brated on Friday evening last at the
family residence on Capitol hill. From
the large company of young folks pres
emit, and from the hearty enjoyment of the
celebrants of the occasion, her debut was
one most welcome and appreciated. AS
in all instances of like character, dancing
was the order of the evening, and, as nov
city is the go, the arrangement of the
programme was entirely different from
any arrangement of the dances at pre-
vio1s entertainments. It was partly the
german" figures, in which pretty souve-
mir favors we're distributed, partly square
dances and partly the ever popular waltz.
The programme thus arranged made an
original and very delightful divertise-
ment. There could be no debutante OF any
season destined to be more genuinely
popular than the one who has but now
stepped upon the stage of society life.
Beautifulin feature, charming in manner,
to her side will be won many friends,
whose happiness will be best attained in
doing her service. Tennyson might have
well said of her
1.-THE flower she stepped on dipped and rose
And turned to look at her."

District Court.

In the case of the State vs., WIN. Wellmer,
which was submitted to the jury on Sstur-
day night, verdict was rendered by the
jury on Monday morning finding the de-
PENDANT guilty of being pecuHiarily inter-
ested In the sale of goods to Travis county
while he was a county commissions, ana
fixing his punishment at q fine of SlOO.
After the rendition of this verdict MI
Wellmer pleaded guilty to five other cases.
in each of which the same offense was
charged, and in each case the court as
sssed fine of $50 against the defendant
Thereupon the district attorney filed 'ne
following twelve cases, to wit:
Nos. S472 to 64S3, inclusive, the State
vs.. VIM. Wellmer, in the district court
OF Travis county, Texas
In said cases the state, by the district
attorney, shows to the court that the de-
PENDANT has been convicted in six cases OF
like character, and in view of all the facts
of the transaction, it is thought his pun
ishment has been sufficient to "reform the
offender and deter others from like Of
fense," wherefore, the state moves the
court to dismiss said cases.

THE COUNTY VOTE.
The Able County Commissioners
Wrestling With the Votes.

Yesterday was the day designated by
the county commissioners to canvass the
vote cast in this county on last Tuesday.
All the commissioners but Mr.. John
Cloud, who is quite i'll, put in an appear
ance, and at O'Clock last afternoon they
began preparations for the canvass.
About O'Clock the counting was COM
menced and it was steadily kept up until
nearly o'clock, at which time the votes
in eight precincts were counted.
The work will be resumed this morning,
and it is possible, it will be concluded
some time this afternoon.
It's troublesome job and requires
close attention, as many of the polling
lists are badly jumbled up, the names be-
ing put down in irregular order.

TEACHERS MEETING.
Excellent Attendance and Inter
estlng Discussions Yesterday.

The Austin city school teachers held a
meeting yesterday morning at which
there was full attendance.
In the first division the meeting
opened with q paper on discipline" by
Miss l.. r. Brooke, on the physiognomy
and phrenology of the "bad boy" An
open discussion followed. Miss Numbers
gave some excellent devices in number
work.
In the second division Miss Lille Sayers
discussed, "How to get the children to
study" which was also followed by dis
cussion, Miss Erkel's paper on Language
and composition was very interesting and
we'll discussed.
Ia third division Miss o. Clifton dis
cussed, discipline" Professor Loury of
the Blind asylum took part in discussion
of same.
The paper on history by Miss Sloss was
so we'll received as to gain plea from
those present for its publication in The
STATESMAN.
In the general assembly meeting Pro-
lessor Bryant, editor of the Texas School
Journal, gave little talk to the city teach
ers in regard to the Reading Circle, which
deals in education. The course to be
two years course, at the end of which
diplomas are to be issued.
Professor Bryant, of the High school,
spoke in favor, but suggested two places
of meeting. 1t was, however, decided to
call meeting at the close of the regular
session.
The examination question then arose
and the pleasures in store for the teachers
and the Joy children always experience at
these seasons. The roll being called the
meeting adjourned to December 9, 1883.
After the meeting Professor Bryant
again addressed the m setting about the
Reading Circle.
Professor Leonard nominated Miss
Clifton as president but she declined,
which, however, she was asked to recon
slider, pleading press of duties. Miss
Mollie Brown was nominated and elected.
Miss Lizzie Drake was elected secretary.
