 People are either getting 'better of" in Boston or else they don't care as much for soup as they did. The close of the "free soup" season shows that the number of gal Ions made during 1888 was 10,544, against F, ,57S during last year; the number of fam flies supplied during 1888 was 12 ,5S3, against 15, 115 during last year; the number of meals furnished in 1888 was 61, ,497, against 70, ,7s7 in 1887. Last years soup season was two weeks longer than this years.
 The conversion of sss5, ,0oo, GOO of the British national debt from per cents. into 24 per cents.(an after fifteen years into 211S per cents. .)was not very complicated opera tion. It has been done by publishing an offer to convert them in the London Gazette, together with notice that all non-consent- ing holders of this particular class of securi- ties known as the New Threes, would be paid of at par at the Bank of England on and after April 5. All but 5000, 900 of the en- tire holding have signifed assent.

He was not, however, elected Presi- dent. The fathers of the Virginia Presi- dents-Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe-were planters. John Tyler's father was lawyer and statesman, and John Adams, the father of John Quincy Adams, was by profession lawyer. Grants father was a..tanner, Hayes father merchant, and the fathers of Garfield, Lincoln, Pierce, Fill mere, Polk, Van Buren and Jackson were farmers.
 One of the causes of the low price of wheat is the improved process of milling, which produces from 10 to 20 per cent. more flour from wheat than by the old process. The roller process also produces much better four than the old stone grinding and the flour goes farther in cooking. In England, with theroller process, poor grades of wheat are mixed with the best grades, and this
 brings into competition in the markets cheap foreign wheats which were formerly rejected. It is estimated that the roller process of mill ing has made the 0.00O, 900 bushels of wheat raised in the United States equal in flour to 517, ,000, GOO bushels under the old l method Of grinding.

Painful Accident.

A very painful and what might have
been very serious occident happened
this morning at ten O'Clock to Mr..
George Wallace, who is in the employ
of the Pacific Express Company. The
express wagon which he was driving
was at the wholesale produce house
Of Hamilton & Bro, North Fifth
street, and was being loaded with ap.
pies in barrels. The wagon was filled
with barrels standing on end and 9th.
ers were being rolled on them when
the horses started and one of the top
barrels rolled off striking Mr.. Wallace
to the ground and falling on him with
crushing force. He was carried into
the store and physicians, Drs. Parker
& Shelton, summoned, and at first it
was thought he had received serious
if not fatal injuries. Examination
showed that no limbs were broken.
He was, however. fearfully lacerated
in an ugly cash on the head and Sc.
we're cuts on the arms and body. 1t
seems Providentlal that he was not
killed. His wounds are very severe,
and he will probably be confined at
home for some time.

Indian Territory, engaged in the con-
struction of the now, Mo. Pacific
railroad. III 1875 he came to Waco as
agent for the Arctic Ice Company and

self, gradually building up large
business in ice, coal, beer and soda
water bottling works, doing all the
business in those lines for many years.
Two years ago he went to Temple
where he had established ice works
and lived there to the present.
About five years ago Mr.. Farley was
married in Michigan and the fruit of
the union is two children little boy

retiring disposition, but of kind
heart, and died at the early age OF Al.
Mr.. John Harrington, who has been
his chief business man for great

ODDITIES IN COLOR.
Customers Of the Justices Courts

The colored population Of McLen-
ran County is bit of a study. 1t is
devided into two classes, the upper
and the lower and there is middle
class. The upper class is educated,
refined, usually well to do and respec.
ted by the white population as good
white people are respected, and en-
We'd and hated by the lower class Of
color. The two classes are drifting
wider and wider apart, one going up
and the other going down. The lower
class is comical bit of study in
ebony. One feature is the love of
law and courts which pervades the
class. To be in law suit is dignity
and to be defendant in a case is con.
sidered about as honorable as to be
plaintiff. If it was not for the colored
patronage the justices of the peace
might as well shut up shops, and a
justice court affords the subject OF
many fine sketches in charcoal. The
common colored man is litigant
by nature and if a neighbor looks
CROSS ways, "a warrant is Immediately
sworn out for his arrest. But there is
not wanting plenty of causes for ar.
rest among the lower class. For
morality is at pretty low ebb.
Meum and tuum is a vague doctrine
and marital rights are pretty vaguely
defined in their moral code, Some
of the cases which come before the
justices are pretty racy and an idle
philosopher can find in them curious
bits Of philosophy. There is just now
a warrant out for an uxorious colored
man who stole into a colored lady's
chamber few nights ago with felon.
