No Typographical Home.

DR.. G. E. Fisher, who was sent last
week by the board of trade to Kansas
City to attend the annual meeting of the
International Typographical Union and
secure for Austin, if possible, the much
talked of home for invalid printers, re-
turned to Austin yesterday. He reports
that the International Printers Union has
only some $4,000 In the treasury for tnis
home, and, as this sum is by 10 means
sufficiect, the matter of founding the home
was postponed to some future day until
the sums of money annually paid in by
The printers shall make such home a
practicable thing. Until then, Austin must
bide her time. She will have the home
when that day arrives.

The following is the report of the COM
mittee appointed to examine the report
of the drill directors:
To the stockholders of the Texas, Inter ational
and Interstate Drill Association of Austin:
Gentlemen-Your committee, appointed
to examine the report of the directors of
your association, beg leave to report that
they have carefully examined the itemized
statement of said report and the vouch-
ers accompanying the same, and fnd
them correct.
Your committee would further report
that, in their Judgment, there has been
some exorbitant charges made by some of
our citizens for services rendered, yet we
fnd,upo investigation, that it was ont of
the power of the directors to avoid the
services of such citizens. We find that
the expenditures have been large in some
instances, yet, in view of the magnificent
entertainment given, we find no expendi-
ture not warranted il such an undertaking.
We append a summary of the gross re
ceipts and expenditures.

when the almost unanimous solicitation of
his fellow citizens and brothers of the
bar of west Texas and the spontaneous
endorsement of the Texas bar and par
ties prominent in political circles have
in so decided manner thrust the present
honor upon him.
Though fitted by natural and acquired
ability for prominent place in politics,
Mr.. Maxey has consistently refrained
from entering the lists for any elective or
appointive position in the political field.
The only Office of which he has been the
incumbent since his arrival in Austin is
that of treasurer of the Episcopal diocese
of Texas, but, which office, it is not neces-
sary to remark, is not due to any political
aspirations or preference.

Professor sterrett.

Prof. j. R. s. Sterrett, elected professor
of Greek yesterday by the regents, is the
author of "The Wolfe Expedition to Asia
Minor" work of which the Nation, in an
elaborate review, speaks as follows:
"This great work, with the very i'm
portant Typographical work connected
with it, which has reconstructed the
map of some of the least known
regions of Asia Minor, presents US
with mass of original research,
which, so far az classical topography and
geography are concerned, exceeds all that
has been given to the learned world by
all other American scholars combined"
Professor Waggener had volume of
the work, which he kindly showed to the
able reporters present, one of whom pro-
ceeded to read few refreshing extracts
in the original Greek, but was interrupted
by Professor Waggener mildly suggesting
that the book had better be turned right
side up.
"No difference at all, professor" said
the reporter. 81 can read Greek just as
well with the book upside down, as with it
upside up. All the newspaper fellows
can. We are used to reading type in the
FORMS"
"Certainly," chimed in the other able
reporter, and then Professor Waggener
smiled feebly and sat down.

other organized institution. He then dis
cussed the system at some length, and
showed why it could not be generally ac-
cepted, and to what extent it would be
accepted, concluding his address with
the following: "There are some
who will be convinced by his appeal
to divine law, his faultless logic aud his
blameless life. These will follow the
Christ as he has followed; these will find
the reward as he has found. To the
question, is life worth living these

BETA THETA PI.
A Delightful Banquet Enjoyed BY
the Members.

The Hotel Orr was the scene of one of
the most delightful and recherche events
of the season Monday night, it being the
occasion of the second annual banquet of
the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. The pink
and blue colors seen on the lapels of
several stud ants had already fore
sNadowed the event, when at an early
hour the members began to arrive, and by
the time the alumni address at the opera
house was over the elegant parlors of the
hotel were ablaze with light and beauty.
The young ladies had made good use of
the colors in their toilets, and the de-
lighted countenances of the young men
made the scene most happy one. After
few minutes spent in conversation the
party marched out to the banqueting
hall, with Judge Sheeks, the postmaster,
and Judge Williams, of Waco the guest
the evening,in the lead. Here thesight that
met their eyes was beyond our powers of
description. The table was loaded
with good things, and adorned
with flowers in bewildering pro-
fusion, and The STATESMAN is
willing to affirm, after personal investlga-
ton, that Mrs. Orr is to be complimented
for one of the finest banqRets ever held in
the city. II was a few minutes before
twelve when Judge Sheeks arose and We
coined the company in his usual happy
manner, and, after Judge Williams had
responded to that toast was offered to
the Beta girls in no less fitting terms by
Mr.. @. II. Miller, one of the young and
rising lawyers of our city. The party
again adjourned to the parlors and an
other hour was delightfully."- passed in
singing and conversation.
The Beta Theta Pi was founded at
Miami University in 1889 by John Riley
Knox and his associates. The order has
since grown until its present membership,
alumni and undergraduate, numbers more
than six thousand, and every state and
territory has members whom the
country, as we'll as the frater-
nifty, is proud to own. One of the
most striking characteristics of the order
is the loyalty of its alumni, the "Silver
Greys," by whose cheering words and sub
stantial aid the college chapters are con-
stantly encouraged.
The following we're present at the ban
quet:
Judge David Sheeks and Judge Eugene
Williams, DR.. and Mira. E. B. Wright, DR..
and Mrs. Edgar Everhart, Mr.. G. Ii. Mil

BADLY LACERATED.
A Savage Dog Assalls and Badly
Injuries q Boy.

The little 10year old son of Mr.. Rum
pei, the uptown merchant, was badly torn
by savage dog, owned by Mr.. Bergman,
one of Mr.. RumpePs neighbors. The little
fellow was carrying Mr.. Berryman's
children some ice cream, and when he en-
tered the ydrd, the dog attacked him from
behind, throwing him down and badly
tearing the flesh on one of his legs. The
little fellow maids manly fight, but as
fast as hs would rise the savage beast
would overcome him and again throw him
TO tho ground. His cries brought assist
ance, but not until the little fellow had
been very painfully and seriously bitten.
He was resting easy yesterday but it will
be long time before he fully RECEIVERS.
The dog bad usually been kept chained,
but on the day he did the mischief he was
unfortunately at large. Mr.. Bergman
promptly had him killed.

had climbed, step by step, to the highest
in the department. He is young man,
modest yet able; retiring, yet full of nerve
and executive ability. He is comptroller.
His first official act was to make a larg e
reduction in the clerical force of the

THE NEW APPOINTEE.
A Brief Sketch of the Life of Mr..
II. S. Maxey.

While the citizens of Austin and west
Texas and particularly the members of
the bar are exchanging warm coIgratula-
tions over the appointment of our
esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. I. S. Maxey,
to the vacant judgeship in the United
States court, it will undoubtedly prove IN
teresting to give brief sketch of his
life.
Mr.. Maxey was born on September 1,
1916, in the town of Brandon, Miss, IN
which place the entire early part OF his
life was spent. When the war broke out
he enlisted on the side of the confedracy,
and was one year in active service. He
entered the University of Mississippi in
1865 and pursued his studies in that in
stitution two years. He then entered the
university of Virginia, remaining there
also two years, in the first of whhic he
took an academic course and
graduated in law the second year.
He then returned to Brandon, and in the
fall of that year, (1969), he was elected to
the legislature of Mississippi, but served
only one year, resignihg his seat at the
expiration of that time and coming to
Texas.
He located in Jefferson ia February
1871. While there he was city attorney
for two years, and was also member OF
the state executive committee, OF which
Hon. Joseph d. Sayers, our present con
gresham, was then chairman. Mr.. Mazey
left jefferson i'll 1877 and came to Austlu'
forming a copartnership with the la,e
Col. A. j. Peeler, which copartnership
existed until 1882, when it was dissolved
and Mr.. Maxey then, with Mr.. Saml r.
Fisher, formed the law firm of Mazey q
Fisher, which firm has continued to the
present day. Since coming to Austin MI
Maxey has held no political office, nor
desired any until the present time'

Professor Lane.

luton yesterday, highly complimentary to
Doctor Alvin V. Lane, and expressing re-
er t at his resignation of the chair of as
soeiate professor of mathematics, from
which he retires for the purpose of en-
gaging in the banking business in Dallas.
Doctor Lane is one of the most popular
members of the faculty, and his severing
hi, connection with the University is gen
orally regretted by the pubic, as well as
by the students aud professors and friends
of the institution.

The Reason.

First Citizen-"Why do they call the
Closing exercises of the Universities and
colleges commandments
Second Citizen-"Don't you know?
Why, it's because the graduates will now
commence their course in the real educa-
ton of life, and it won't take 'em long to
find out that they have great deal to
learn, Notwithstanding the shee pskin."
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-06-21
The Reason Why,

Replying to frequent enquiries why we
do not publish the time card of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central railroad, The
STATESMAN remarks it is because it is not
paid for. The time card of railroad is
as much legitimate advertising matter as
its rates of freight, and We know of no
reason why we should publish the adver-
tisement of railroad without compensa-
tor, "iust as matter of local news"
