the wider swept the horizon of her posi-
bilities and the grander seemed her des-
tiny.
We are just awakening to all this wealth,
whose very vastness has overwhelmed us
with sort of paralysis of industry, and
the reflection now obtrudes, that If this
terra incognits" to many of even the
best informed, has, without anything OF
the boom characteristics, attained such
wonderful development in her unaided
infancy, what may We not look
for under the new regime,
through organized effort in the years be-
fore us! Surely there can come no ship
wreck to our sailor, no eclipse to our lum-
mary.
If 1 have but blazed and pioneered a
way to be supplemented by ADLER hands
with fuller and better matter,
l shall be content. And as l close the
page, feel somewhat, in the language of
a commissioner at the New Orleans expo
sition, "lika one who has travelled a
wearisome journey through varied
country, relieved by exciting incidents, and
stands at last on au eminenoe from which
an unbroken view spreads out before him
inviting to greener fields, sweeter pros
poets and richer fruitions." For Texas l
see this fair picture: "a future filled with
happy homes, the peace of plenty, the
prosperity of inexhsustible wealth; and
from the height gained by the toll, see
no shadow of a terminus in the bright
outlook for my adopted mother"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-02-16
The Lenten Season.

Man, since the fall of Adam, is con
tinually tempted to sin. For every sin
he commits, God, in his strict justice, de
mands penance. The church, in order to
assist man in doing penance for his sins
and to strengthen him against ain, has
instituted the Lenten fast, which com
mences on Ash Wednesday and ends on
Holy Saturday. In order to impress
deeply on the minds of her children she
has ordained the impressive ceremony of
signing the forehead of her children
| with ashes whilst saying these
awful words wherewith God sentenced
usiito death: "Remember, o, man, that thou
art dust, and into dust thou shalt return"
Ashes are a symbol of penence, and the
church introduced no new ceremony when
she put them on the heads of the faithful.
The old and the new law testify to this.
When Jonas announced to the Ninivites
the destruction of their city, "they pro-
| claimed fast, and put on sack cloth from
the least and sat in ashes" John, 8;
4-6. King David says of himself, II did
eat ashes like bread, and mingled my
drink with weeping" Psalms, 101: 10.
He mingled his bread with ashes, or put
ashes on his bread, that he might even at
his meals be reminded of his
sins, and consequently of the ne
cessity of doing penance for them
Thamar, David's daughter, after her dis
grace, "put ashes on her head and went on
crying" II Kings, 10, 10. We read the
same of Job az, g. of the widow Ju-
dith %, y and others.
As church history proves, in the earliest
| times ashes were put on the heads of pub
| lie sinners. ALI those who had the mis-
fortune to sin grievously and who wished
to recover the grace of reconciliation
asked for public penance on Ash We'd
nesday. The bishop, whom they most
humbly, by weeping and wailing, asked
for pardon, invested them with pei :
! iteptial garments and put ashes
on their heads. This public
penance, afterwards became obsolete, but
the custom of putting ashes on the heads
has been retained. In the year 1921 the
council of Beneventum decreed that the
ashes should be distributed to all, that al
might be more emphatically reminded Of
the necessity of dong penance. Since
that time the custom of putting ashes on
the head has existed throughout the
whole Catholic church, and there is now
no parish church in which ashes are moi
blessed and sprinkled on the fsithful
From this blessing of ashes and sprinkline
of the faithful with them, the first day Of
the forty days. fast bears the name Of
Ash Wednesday. @. 3. q.

ROBBER CHIEF KILLED,
A Desperate Fight Between Him
and Plucky Sheriff.
He Fought to the Last, Dying
With His Boots On.
From Tuesdays Dsily.l

He is dead, and we can now pause be-
fore that prodigy which lowered among
us enrapped in the solitude of greasy
shirt, picturesque Winchester belt and
fond sixshoOter, but we want not pause.
He is dead; no door nail was ever
deader.' The bold, bad chief of the Texas
train robbers is dead. All of his aliases
could not save him.
1t is hard to kill man; of course it is!
But society will now breathe easier
that the bandit chief is no more. He
died with his boots on. The population
expected it, and the population was not
disappointed.
The following telegram gives all the ex-
PLANTATION of the affair received here yes
terday:
PBARsAI L, Tex, February ID, 1888.
Gov L. s. Ross, Austin, Texas:
Have got B ack Cornett, alias Captain Dick. He
fought to the last. Had to kill him in making the
arrest. Have you any Instructions. If not will
bury him here to-day. W. G. DAUGHERTY,
Sherih Frio county.
identified and an inquest held; and this
was attended to as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing:
PEARsALI., Tex, February Is, 1888.
To Hon. John e. Hollingsworth, Postohice In
epector, Austin:
Can prove Cornett's identity fully. He fought
to the death Had to kill him in making the arrest
[Signed] W. G. DAUGHERTr,
Sheriff Frio county.
Brack Cornett, alias Bill McGinty, alias
Bill Bradley, alias "Captain Dick" was q
bold, bad man. He was an escaped con-
Wet. His age was about 80, and he was
| quick and active in his movements, and a
man of nerve.
SO was Sheriff Daugherty, who will now
receive $500 from the state and about
$400 from the Wells Fargo Express com
pany and Uncle Sans postof1ice de.
partment.
The late lamented will receive burial, q:
intimated in Sheriff Daugherty's brief and
terse dispatch.
"Captain Dick" was chief commander
in the Flatonia robbery, where the robbers
got $4,000 of coin and currency, besides
four diamond rings, one diamond stud
one diamond collar button, one diamond
horseshoe scarf pin two diamond butterfly
pattern scarf pins and one gold watch.
Three days after the affair "Captail
Dick" was seen wearing big diamond
finger ring.
Bud Powell, Bill Whitley, alias Johl
Hill, and John Barber, his confederate
and assistants in the robbery, are still a
large.
Will Sheriff Daugherty please make
note of 1t?
"Captain Dick" may have had som
good traits of character, and possibly h
did have, but his bad qualities outweighe
them, and society is infinitely better o.
now that he is dead.

receiving large boquets, the gentlemen
handsome boutonieres. For the last
favor figure the souvenirs were
very rich and elegant, consisting
of odd and handsome pieces of china and
rare pieces of brio-a.brack. A beautifully
decorated and heavily laden refreshment
table was disclosed from beyond pair
of folding doors about midnight, and the
dainties and ices were keenly relished.
The cards of invocation announced "cottil-
lion at 8 O'Clock" and the storm had no
power to delay the arrival of the honored
recipients of the same. Mrs. Hancock
received her guests dressed in
a magnificent court train costume of
white satin, with front of pearl passe-
mentrie, embroidered into beautiful de-
signs from the throat to the bottom of
the skirt. The neck was cut square, with
an Elisabethesn collar. She wore her
haif in Psyche knot, and powdered,
with ornaments of diamonds.
About thirty-five couples we're present,
and INDUCED in dancing until very late
hour. The German club last evening we're
entertained and honored i'll a manner they
can not forget. The occasion was a fin
ished success in its completeness, and be-
cause it defed competition, enuncisting
the fact that Lent has arrived.

"TheY Say"


That Captain Nick Houx and other
military men pronounce the Austin drill
grounds the finest in the United States.
That Captain Won RosenLerg's cavalry

That "it's dead sure thing" that Pres

That Doctor Tobin ought to extend his

That the prohibition question will enter
largely into local politics next fall.
That there are several cases of munps

That the city council will pass the or

That there are thirty inmates, happily
contented and we'll taken care of, now IL
the Confederate home.
That Austin possesses more pretty girls
than any city of equal size on the conti-
nent-and their beauty is all natural.
That everybody will have to keep oper
house during drill week, in order to TAX
care of the thousands of guests who viii
crowd our city on that grand occasion.
That if Austin had done the proper
thing she would not have lost the ODD
Fellows temple.
That the death-dealing cigarette "mus

Midnight Blaze.

Last night, about the hour of II O'Clock,
when the vast ma jority of Austin people
we're slumberlng, unmindful of the "patter
of the soft rain overhead" the alarm OF
fire was rung ort, and those who we're
up and those who we're brave enough to
get up and take dive into the rain went
in the direction of the smoke and fire. 1t
proved to be in an old two-story frame
building on the hill next door to the new
fremen's hall, but somehow or other had
gained such Roadway that busy fight
had to be kept up for considerable time
before the flames were under control. 1t
W the building formerly used by the
evening paper, when under control of W
Y. Leader, and was the property OF DIR
Taylor.
Loss, small; insurance, not known.

Frantic Appeals.

Several OF the boys in different parts of
the state have been jerked up, charged
with taking around wicked and deadly
pistols, and several of the boys have come
to grief and Jail in consequence. OF
course they have sent urgent and tear full
appeals to the governor to whack off the
Imprisonment portion of the punishment,
but he refuses to do so, notwithstanding
some of the appeals frantically set forth
that the weapon was very small one,
"toted" around Just for the fun of the
thing. The governor SAINT see the fun,
and quietly permits the law TO take its
course.

The Austin German Club Enter
tanned by Mr.. and Mrs. Hancock.
Last night at the beautiful home of Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Hancock was given the
most elegant germ of the sea-
son. 1t was a german rendered
the Austin German club by the
host and hostess of the evening.
Marking the close of the season of gayety,
ere the lenteh time forbade the merry
dance or evening party, it fittingly and
most charmingly finished off a season
that has been noted for its whirl of pleas
ure and its store of elegant entertain
ments. Yet no entertainment has
eclipsed, nor has any german of the
year approached the one of last
evening in beauty, taste and enjoyment
The weather was horrible, but a glimpse
of the cosy and elegant Parlors, hand
somely illuminated with incandescent
lights and japanese lanterns, at once dis.
PEELED the discemforts of outdoors and
lent an added charm by contrast.
The german was led by Mr.. E. s. Morris
and Miss Made Pope in the most APP
proved and satisfactory manner. The
first favors were exquisite flowers fol-
both ladies and gentlemen-the ladie:
