Her name was Mrs. Mary Rsiter, and she

physician wac called, however, snd the

asked to explain his wife's theory Of

body, but Of the mind. God is all good

right state the disease was cured. Believe

not an element in the cure. The authori-

MR. STKvENsoN's article upon gentle,
men in fiction, pu blished in the current
Scribner's Magazine, is attracting con-
siderable attention, and in this wsy II
leads to some self examination and will
prove in some respects as good IS ser
mon. There are several definitions OF
the word gentleman. We gave pretty
good one the other day, but q gentleman
is philosopher in the social world, and
Carlyle rays 8 philosopher "stands right
in the middle of the universe, and brings
down to him the highest things and up to
him the lowest" He must have respect
enough not to toady 20 shy one because
OF his social position, and be neble
enough not to slight anybody because of
his humbleness or poverty.

Let 1t not be said sgain thas Haskell

RICHMOND, VA June Miss Amelie
R!ves, who is probably the worst ma
ligned young lady 10 the country, Is st

ty. She has not been away from there
for nesrly ayear. The place is an old.
time Virginia estate long In the posses
sion Of the Rves family, and is situated
few miles from the Chesapeake and
OHIO Railroad. Miss Amelie is the Oldest
Of three daughters, and her parents ar;
devoted to her.
HER FATHER,
Colonel A. L. Rives, Is Leading south,
ern engineer, and, up to about year
ago, he was connected with the Richmond
and Danville Railroad. He then accep Led
an important post in connection with the
DeLesseps Panams Ship Canal, and soon
thereafter he went 10 Panama. He Is
devoted to his daughter and takes grea,
pride in her literary achievements. Fol
at least two years before he went to Pan
ans his duties on the Southern Railroad
kept him much Of the time down south,
aud, as rule, he read most of his deugn
ter's productions for the first time in the
Last winter he returned from Panams
snd remained st home for s few weeks,
out his duties called him back to the 18th

When he WAS in Richmond he spoke con-
stantly of

And, indeed, all who know him indig-
nantiy deny as scurrilous and upcslled
for the recent reports that Colonel r yes

not TO Go anything to perpetuate the un-
pleasant and unexpected discussion called
forth by the work. An intimate friend OF
Miss Rives, who has jlst returned from
Castle Hill, states that.
THE LATEST RUMoR
about her to the effect tLat she was en-
gagged to be married to q Mr.. Archie
Coolidge Of Boston is utterly untrue, and
that, furthermore, Miss Rives is not even
aware Of the existence of any such per-
son as Mr.. Coolidge. She is engaged to
Mr.. John Armstrong Chaudler Of New
York. This gentleman met her st New =
port three years ago, and has visited her
at her fathers house frequently since.
The engagement WAS announced last
Tuesday. The marriage will take place
st the home OF the bride In September,
and few weeks thereafter she Will eEil

DEEP WATER,
The Crying Need Of Texas from the Early
Day. of tho Southwest.

The Crying Need OF Texas from the Earl,
Days of tho Southwest.
Written tor the Gazette.
Peter the Gre8t, Russia's master mind,
often repeated these words: "Russia has
land enough, but needs more water" SO 1t
msy be said CT Texas, she mas land
enough, and water enough, but needs
deep water. This want OF water has been
q draWback to Russia. The want of deep
water has been 8 drawback to Texas.
Russia could OILY acquire more water, by
conquest from the great powers
of Europe, and che has bestowed upon It
untold millions without success. In this
pursuit of deep wa'er Texas will take
nothing from any other state, but enrich
herself. Success only requires concen-
trated action OF ourselves ana neighbors,
whose interests are mutual. The great
and must prevail.
From the date OF the settlement OF the
Mississippi Valley, to within shout
ten years past, shallow water tax
was levied at New Orleans upon
the commerce Of these great
valleys. The people Of these valleys, ex-
tending TO St. Paul and Omshs, resolved
to do away with this shallow water tax at
the mouth Of the father Of waters. Earn
est and united in their purpose, the WORK
was soon accomplished, and deep water
without tax WAS substituted for shallow
water with tax.
Deep water upon the TeIss coast means
81 or more per bale for Texas cotton, 81
or more per head for Texas beef,
5 cents bushel more for Texas
wheat. In fact more for every article
Texas has to sci! to the world, and less
for every article che has to buy from the
world. AS the farmer, the great produc-
ing element Of Texas, Is benefited, SO
will sll be benefited.
Nature has been bountiful to Texas In
soil and climate, and yet we have this
great need: Deep water on The Texas
coast. Il will again be proven
"In the reproof CT chance
Lies the true proof on men,"
or to reduce this TO pi.in Texas language,
what we need and have not can often be
acquired by nothing. Push and energy
are the equals Of fortune and It's fsvors.
The spiri. of deep water upon the
Texss coast az OF late much seen
in Texas and Colorado, will surely make
it's appearance in Western Arkansas,
Western Kansas and New Mexico, Call
FORMS, Oregon, Arizons and Utah,
"As the sun,
Ere 1t is risen, sometimes paints Its image
10 the atmosphere, go often do tue spirits
OF great events stride on before the events,
And In to day already walks to morrow

LoEGyIEw, Tx, June 10-Scarcely
had the excitement OF the rumor thst the
negro rspist had been lynched nesr here
died away when our Sheriff was sum-
moned nine miles south CT here in this
county to s killing. From parties who
visited the scene last night was Iesrned
all Of the particulars as follows Yes
terday was County Alliance day and this
place was crowded with farmers to its
utmost capacity. Wagons were strung
store, and the farmers were all IN good
spirit and some may have imbi5ed little
too much, and made much noise on
their way home. A wagon containing
Mr. j. B. Rossen, his son Walter, and
one or two others, was somewhat IN the
lead Of wagon in which were Mr..
Fletcher WEIGH, his son about ten or
twelve years old and two other men. Young
Walter Rossen discharged his Winches-
ter rife and frightened Welch's team, and
WEIGH said ne could whip whoever shO!
that gun; in fact he could whip the crowd.
Young Rossen Jumped out OF his wagon
and awaited the approach Of the WEIGH
wagon, and inquired Of him II he had
meant what he sail for him, and Il 80 he
must retract or apologize, and, II neither,
must fight. WEIGH jumped from his
wagon, at the same time thrusting his
hand into his pocket. Ii is clsimed he
drew out his knife, but was shot
through the head before he could
open or use The knife.
The ball struck WEIGH about an inch over
his right eye and tore Of the whole right
and upper portion OF his head, coming out
st the base Of his skull, causing instant
death. The man lay thee until Coroner
c. c. Hauks viewed his rem,ins. He
found an open knife on the ground, ana
with it the hat with two holes in it. He
returned to town, ard will take
testimony Monday from eye witnesses.
It ssid Rossen was duly sober when he
left here yesterday, and that feud had
existed between the Rossens and the
Welches for some time, and WEIGH hsd
said young R0ssen was good subi ct
for tie gallows and would grace one sumo
day. Welcb, so far as Is known, bore g
good reputation. He leaves wife and
four or hVe children In poor circum-
stances.
Intelligence reached here this morning
OF perhaps fatal cutting fray at Tryo
Schoolhouse, in which Frank Hiatt was
cut eight or ten times about the neck and
shoulders. The name of the person do
ing the cutting was not known by the
purity who'came here for medical aid.

OUTDOOR RECREATION.

Now that the Fort Worth base ball team
Is playing ball in manner satisfactory
to stockholders and audience and lovers
OF out door recreation, they should be
generously encouraged. This is said
from entirely selfish motives. We like to
have place to go for recreation In the
afternoon once or twice q week, and moth
ing Is better than witnessing ball game
in the open air. While 1t Is not
creditable for any one to neglect busine IS
for pleasure, We believe that hard indoor
workers, no matter whether tae occupa-
ton be mental or physical, or as 1t is 10
most case', both, will be greatly benefited
By seeing ball game once or twice 8
week; that they will do better work and
perhaps more Of It If they get all the fresh
cir and mental diversion possible. Most
of US live indoors too much. II life is
worth living st all, it is well to get all
the good health we csn out of It,
We are sorry that 1t is not more
fashionable also for the ladies to attend
ball games in this city. In addition 10
the fact that they need fresh outdoor air
nero than the sterner sex, II should not
be forgotten that they exercise refining
influence wherever they are. We believe
tina their general attendance at ball games
would do more than anything else to elm
mate the Objectionable features Of the
recreation. Let Us all support the ball
games IS generously as our leisure and
nursee will hermit
