WAR AGAINST THE RUM EVIL
The nti-Saloon Republican Conference
in New York

The Conference of the opponents of the
Liquor saloons held in New York city.
MAY ? and proved success. The as
semblage was made up of about two
hundred delegates, from twenty States.
aud two Territories. The Temperance
people and Republicans of Maine were
honored by having Ex-Gov. Sidney Per-
ham made the permanent Chairman of the
Conference, and he discharged the duties
of that position with success. Letters in
approval of the objects of the gathering
were read from various prominent Re-
publicans. The following are specimens {:
Senator Hoar-I hope the proceedings of
the conference will be marked by wisdom
and courage.
Senator Eyarts-I hope yonr efforts for the
benefit of the Republican party in its enlist
ment against liquor-saloons politics will
triumph.
Senator Sherman certainly would sup
port all reasonable measures tending to re-
strain the evils that confessedly flow from
the sale of liquor in the saloon. The proper
remedy for these evils depends so much upon
the stats of public opinion in the community
in which the law Is to operate, that no rule
of prohibition or even regulation can be
successfully enforced in all places alike.
Senator Edmunds-I hope the conference
will be successful and that the movement
will result in speedy triumph.
Ex-senator Hsrrison--There may have
been time in the past when the Republican
party in Indiana had dalliance with the liquor
interests, but when the platform of the last
State Convention was read and received with
cheers BY the great masses who heard it,

Here and There.

One of the most interesting inventions of
the year to Maine people will be the rotary
steam snow shovel a fines illustration of
which is given in the May number of the
Scientific American. BY the use of the snow
plough many engines have been wrecked and
lives lost by attempting to ''buck" way
through snow which had become packed in a
cut. The engines would sometimes attack
such an obstacle at speed of fifty miles an
hour, so that it has come to be well under
stood that there was no more dangerous work
in the railroad business than that of operating
snow ploughs BY far the most satisfactory
method vet devised of accomplishing this
work is found in the rotary steam shovel
The operation of the machine is described as
being a marvellous sight. Such is the tire
mendous centrifugal force of the wheel that
the snow is discharged in the form of a great
stream or cloud, and hurled to distance of
from 100 to 800 feet from the track An
army of 10 900 men could not begin to do
the work of a single one of these machines
within an equal period of time.

MUSICIANS MASSING,
Meeting at Scholz'S Hall Last Night
and Strong ORGANIZATION
Effected.

Effected.
A meeting of professional ana anna
teur musicians was held at Schools
hall last night and an association was
formed to be known as the Fidelia
Instrumental Musical club.
Mr.. Chas. A. r. Campbell, our well
known amateur cOrnetist, was chosen
as the President. The musical direct
ors will probably be Max Mendells-
sohn or Max Gipprich. Another
meeting will be held next Monday
night at the same place.
The object and intention of the
society is to form a club COM
posed of all musicians and players
of musical instruments of any kind,
in this city, for social intercourse and
amusement. An occasional concert
will be given for the members and
their guests. They propose to begin
by playing music of the simplest
kind for beginners, and gradually inn
proving until they can tackle the
most difficult and intricate pieces
with impunity. 1t is commendab
effort and is movement that has
long been needed in this city, which
has more musicians and singers in it
than in any other city in Texas, and
by closer organization better results
can be obtained.

Some New Facts, and Incidents In
Respect to the Train Robber,

Some New Facts, and Incidents In
Respect to the Train Robber, {.
It is stated by those who ought to
know, that Harrell, after the shoot
ing of Whitley, was not left as de-
coy. OF course this statement was
simply based on deduction from facts
and may have been erroneous.
Mrs. Whitley who is now living
near Lampasas, has been notified of
her husbands death, and the body
has been offered to her who has the
most right to it. In the event of 1t not
being claimed by her or other rela-
tives, it will be buried by the federal
officers i'm the Potter's field.
Whitley, as exhibited yesterday,
Law upon the undertaker's stretcher in
the federal court room. On his head
was a white cow boys hat, discolored
by use, and torn by the bullets hred
in the fatal encounter. The trunk OF
the body was enveloped in dress
coat combination shroud. AT the foot
of the stretcher were the boots as re-
moved from his feet after death,
spurred, and indicating that he had
been riding prior to the fatal night.
The "dress coat" formed a strange
contrast to the old hat, and rough I'M
polished boots.
Sheriff Olive, of Williamson county,
and constable, who had been in
custody, have examined the remains
of the dead robber, and declare that
they are those of Bill Whitley. Sheriff
Kilgore, n. G.. Butler, and Others,
have made a like declaration.
No instructions having been re-
ceiyed from Mrs. Whitley the remains
were buried this morning in the city
pOtters' field.
Strange as it may seem in such des-
perado, he was devotedly attached to
his wife and family, and was most as
siduous in attending lovingly to their
requirements. In fact, so far as his
domestic character was concerned, he
was generally regarded as model
husband.

The Verdict Unanimous,

W.D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus. Ind, testi-
fes: II can recommend Electric Bitters as
the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has
given relief in every case. One man took
six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism OF
10 years standing" Abraham Hare,
Druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: The
best selling medicine | have ever handled In
my 20 years experiences, is Electric
Bftters" Thousands of others have added
their testimony, so that the verdict Is
unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all
diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood.

Accepted.

The public improvement committee
inspected the two new hose company
houses this morning, one on San
Pedro Avenue and one on South Ala

This committee took a hack, cost
$3.50 at the city's expense, although
these houses could each be reached by
the San Pedro line of cars, which pass
right by them, and the cost would
only have been four nickels each way.
But they preferred hack.

THEIR BUSINESS BOOMING,

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at all drug stores
as their giving away to their customers Of so
many free trial bottles of DIR. Kings New

simply enormous in this very valuable artl,
Gle from the fact that it always cures, and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Group and all throat and lung

New Appliances for Firemen.

An exhibition was recently gwen In
Westminster, near London, England, of
Loeb's appliances, which are designed to
enable the wearer to breathe and work
with comfort in dense smoke, and also in
poisonous gases. The appliance consists
Of a respirator with an india rubber
m~outhpiece. The respirator is held by
two projections, which are grasped be-
tween the teeth, and a flange, which lies
between the teeth and the lips, additional
security being provided by an elastic
band passing around the head. The air
is drawn in by the wearer through a
series of small filters containing respect
lively wet sponge, cotton wool, cotton
wool damped with glycerine and animal
charcoal. These filters are very lightly
packed, SO that there is no resistance to
the act OF inspiration, and they are pro-
yidcd with valves which direct the air
expired from the lungs into the external
atmosphere. The entire apparatus weighs
less than a pound, and can he used with
out previous practice.
When il is TO he employed in an at.
mosphere which is deadly in its character
as in the choke damp OF mines, the air is
drawn from some place where it Is pure,
through a light india rubber tube. The
filter is then strapped to the waist of the
wearer. and the respirator merely con-
tains the valves which cause the air TO
be drawn through the pipe and then to
expire into the atmosphere. A tube up
TO a hundred feet in length can be used
with facility. Protection is afforded TO
the eyes by a pair Of spectacles with
india rubber rims which press tightly on
the cheek and brow, and exclude all
smoke. Mechanical wipers are added to
enable the glasses TO be cleaned without
removal. A man wearing the respirator
spent half an hour in a building filled
with dense smoke of q most pungent
character without any difficulty, and
afterward the inventors representative,
with the aid of a flexible air pipe, en-
tered a % containing a dish Of burn
ing sulphur and remained there some
time. 1t was clearly demonstrated that
the respirator would enable the wearer TO
enter a building filled with smoke and
discover the exact position of a fire. A
few buckets of water promptly applied
under such circumstances will do more
good than the jet from a steam fire en-
CINE directed at random. On board ship,
where the result of a fire is TO ill the
hold with smoke, this respirator would
be most useful, and this fact has been
recognized in the German navy, where
Loeb's respiratorS form part of the Off
cial equipment London Engineer.
