poison, and insanitary surroundings are
predisposipg causes to the disease. Those
suffering from scarlet fever, measles,
whooping cough and tuberculosis are
also especially liable to be attacked. As
in the case of scarlet fever, mild cases,
which in the absence of others more pro-
nounced it would be difficult to recognize
as due to the diphtheretic poison, may
give rise to malignant diphtheria in more
susceptible individuals, or in those whose
vital resisting power is reduced by any
of the causes mentioned.
Prophylaxis will demand complete non
intercourse with the sick, avoidance of in
fected localities, and care to exclude all
persons and articles coming from such
houses from contact with yourself or chill
drep. The disease is often spread by
thOughtless persons who visit the sick
room, and even kiss the infected patients,
and then, without any precautions in the
way of disinfeotion, fopdle healthy chill
dren in other places, and perhaps transmit
by kiss the infectious material which has
adhered to their lips. The possibility of
transmission by pet animals is also to be
borne in mind.

Let Us be Thankful.

Laborer Nat Singleton yesterday left
his arduous labors for time and came
into the city to see just how the political
machine was moving along, and Laborer
Nat Singleton met Laborer Butler, and
the two Immediately held long and en-
thusiastic meeting by themselves in the
alley just south of the court house.
With these two able patriots in consulta-
ton yesterday in back alley all by them
selves on momentous political questions
without the state fitting up should be a
source of profound qualification.
Laborer Singleton and LabOrer Butler
are of the cheerful opinion that the dem
ocrats are running this blessed country to
the bow-wows, and they feel called upon
to periodically snow under the bow-wowers.
To this end they meet and consult and are
happy.

Never try to outshine, but to please.
Never press favor where it seems I'M
desired.
Never intrude ill-health, pains, Losses or
misfortunes.
Never unavoidably wound the feelings

Never forget that vulgarity has its
origin in ignorance or selfshness.
Never urge another to do anything
against his desire unless you see danger
before him.
Do not ask another 70 do what you
would not be glad 70 do under similar cir
cumstances.
Never omit 20 perform kind act when
it can be done With any reasonable amount
of exertion.
Never needlessly wound the vanity of
another or dilate unnecessarily upon dis
agreeable subjects.
Never talk aloud 50 that others than the

or upon the street.
Do not make witticism at the expense
of Others which you would not wish to
have made upon yourself.

ment and then translated into behavior.

ment; nothing can be more vulgar. See
that costumes fit the time and occasion.

A Delightful Musicale.

These warm nights, when the mercury
is dancing in the eighties, are not calcu-
lated to inspire the sweltering community
with any unusual show of enthusiasm in
regard to anything-not even that grand
est of all arts, music. But last night a
goodly number of the music wing peo-
pie of Austin, in spite of the warm
weather, gathered at the hos pitable home
of Mrs. Doctor Morris to enjoy
and participate in musicale
given by the above named lady.
The time for the entertainment
as previously announced was $3.50, and at
that hour the spacious parlors were COM
fortably filled. The selections were all
well chosen and most admirably rendered,
showing conclusively that the different
performers were all we'll versed in that
whatever "that" is-which goes to
make up fine and cultured
musician. There is no hesitancy in say
ing that the guests, one and all, from the
"small boy" up to venerable old gentle
man, and betwixt and between the
two, enjoyed themselves and were
most highly entertained by the successful
efforts of the performers. The following
is the programme as near as could be
obtained;

DIPHTHERIA.
What City Health Officer Graves
Has to Say.
Malignant Sore Throat IN the
City, But No Diphtheria in
the City.

There has been deal of talk gong the
rounds, during the past week or ten days
about the existence of diphtheria in the
city.
Yesterday morning Doctor Graves, city
porter, and he had this to say:
doctor, what about the diphtheria re-
ported in the cityH"
$50 far as | know there is not case in
the city. Several days ago child died
with the disease and tagged the premise S
and it is still tagged. You
see, there are some cases of
malignant sore throat in town and
the neighbors of the sick child at once
conclude it is diphtheria, and thus it is the
reports get out. Day before yesterday l
was notified of case of the disease, and
went to the house to investigate it. The
family informed me that the attendant
physician pronounced it malignant sore
throat. Only this morning father
brought his little child to the hospital
greatly alarmed, thinking it had diph-
liberia. 1 made an examination, and the
disease was only aggravated sore throat;
yet all around the mans neighborhood it
was reported diphtheria. 1 have re-
quested the doctors to notify me of cases
coming under their observation, and the
register book is always open in my Office
for them to do so during my absence.
AS yet no cases have been reported; nor is
there case of scarlet fever in town so far
as know. There is considerable sickness
in town, and 1 am making at least thirty
calls day, but it is not of a serious
character"
In this connection the following rea-
ting to dlptheria is taken from an essay
published by the American public health
association:
This is disease in which the infectious
material is given off from the surfaces
affected, and probably not from the gem
eral surface of the body. As the usual
seat of the disease is the throat and the
nasal mucous membrane, it is the dis
charges from these surfaces which are
especially dangerous. Although adults
are much less susceptible to the disease
than children, there have been numerous
instances in which they have contracted
diptheria by the accidental reception of a
bit of infectious material directly into
the fauces. This is especially liable to
occur during the operation of tracheo
tony; and several physicians have lost
their lives in this way, in their efforts to
save those of their patients by
aspirating through tho tracheo
tony tube. 1t seems extremely
probable that the diphtheretic poison
GERMS capable of increase, independ-
emily of the sick, in damp, foul places,
such as sewers, damp cellars, and espe-
cially under old houses in which the floora
come near the surface of the ground, leav-
ing damp, ill-ventilated space. At all
events, the disease often clings to such
houses in spite of the application of the
usual means of disinfection. There is no
doubt as to the influence of bad hygi.nic
conditions in maintaining the infection
when the disease has been introduced, and
it is possible that such conditions may, in
certain cases, originate it.

A. Card to the Public.

The drawing for the Wheelock piano,
which was to have taken place August 16,
will be postponed till October Is. The
reason for this is that we find that parties
cannot give us positive answers as
to the prospects of purchasing
this early in the season. We do
not exact any promises, and tickets
are free, but we want to know who intends
to buy soon. Answer the following ques-
tions, and enclose 2cent stamp for re-
turn postage, and send for ticket.
QUESTIONS:
Have you piano or an organ?
II either, what make and how old?
Do you expect to buy either; if so,
about when?
Whatever your answers may be to these
questions you will be presented with a
ticket. Each family will be entitled to
one ticket only.

The shah has caused great stir in
Persia by issuing an imperial edict telling
his people that "they may engage with
perfect confidence in all industries and
enterprises which are the basis of civiliza-
ton and the sources of happiness and
prosperity" that they "may without fear
or apprehension of any kind exercise all
rights of ownership over their property"
and that they "may undertake any enter
prise requiring the combination of capital
or the formation of companies, such as
the construction of public works, roads,
etc." The world may be considered con-
quered when Persia opens her door to
civilization.

Much indignation exists in Brownsville

1t would be interesting to know how the
report of yellow fever at this point be-
came circulated. There is no such disease
prevalent either in Matamoras or that
city. The Independence came with a
perfectly clear bill of health, and with no
disease among her passengers; nor 10

Aggravated Assault.

Young Bird, arrested for cutting Raggio
the other day, and who was released on
bond, was arrested again yesterday on n
charge of aggravated assault: he is alleged
having thrown rocks at Raggio before the
cutting occurred.
Bird, who is by no means vicious look.
ing boy, informed a STATESMAN reporter
that he was throwing rocks, but that he
was in the tall weeds and was not aware
anyone was about. The fight with Raggio,
he said, was provoked by his throwing
rock into boat, when Raggio struck him
in the face, and he Bird drew his knife,
and in the general melee cut him. He
says Raggio was the larger of the two,
end he had to protect himself.

horse, wore black outaway coat, riding
trousers, top boots and tall, shiny hat,
and was as handsome figure on horse
back as he is on foot, which is saying a
good deal, as General Diaz is very noble
looking man. He rides with grace and
ease, and was to-day accompanied by an

POLITICAL DRIFT
Caught as 1t Floats on the Stream
of Public Opinion.

The united labor and non-partisan
party of Robertson county was organized
the other day at Franklin, and a conven-
ton will be held on August 81 to put out
ticket.-Brenham Banner.

last issue with a game cock growing
Justify for Hon. Chas. Stewart. If Mr..
Stewart and Captain Hutchinson both
persist in remaining in the race, the Tri-
bune will have no use for its rooster on
election day.-Brenham Banner.
The county conventions still continue
to endorse Senator Richard Coke right
along, and it is probable that he will
have no opposition for reelection before
the next legislature.
The old anti and pro issue
is at the bottom of all our
political trouble in Bell county.

will not say, but dead issues ought to be
buried. We will have trouble enough
