The Waco Curiosity Shop Is at 10
and Ill Austin street. The Waco Gu
rlosity Shop Is the place to buy and
sell all kinds of secondhand goods.
They carry q full and complete stock
Of furniture, stoves, lamps glassware,
trunks, sewing machines, and nearly
every NJ ticle needed for housekeeping.
1t Is the place that never tries to hum
bug the people with so-called Cost
Sales, Moving Sales, or other devices
to deceive. 1t is the place where they
can and do sell goods at a fair profit
SO that there is no accumulation of old
time-wOrn goods. 1t is the poor mans
friend. The Curiosity Shop was start
ell less than three years ago with less
than small fortune, and good name.
Since then it has sold nearly $120,0O
worth of goods. 1t has helped hum
dreds of people to furnish their homes
when they could not do so in any 9TH
er way. 1t has continued to grow,
make friends and prosper as no other
house in Waco ever did with same
capital.
Now let me tell you what the Curl
osity Shop is going to do. 1t is going
to have the best stock of new stoves,
furniture, trunks and general house,
hold goods it ever had. 1t is going to
meet all competition and lead it when
we can. 1t will make special low
prices in new cook and heating stoves
and in the future as in the past, try
to make as many friends as possible,
realizing that it is by our friends we
live. Thanking all for past favors
and our prosperity, we are as ever,
Waco Curiosity Shop.

Miss Helen A. Shafer, Senior Professor Of

eleven years she has been Professor of Math-

many people are completely under the thrall
of legends, traditions, and superstitious GUS
toms. Jewellers say that since the rage for
colored stones set in precious stones are Sc
lected as much for their supposed qualities
of warding off sorrow or securing success
and prosperity in various undertakings. as
for any brilBaDcy, rarity or monetary value.
The great popularity of the moonstone alone
during the past year and especially during
the last holiday season, would attest that
fact although no one feels called upon eth

Western Growth.

The immense upbuilding Of cities that is go
ing on in the west can hardly be realized by
one who has not witnessed the growth.
When big figures about western enterprise
are put before the eastern reader he gener-
ally appears amazed or incredulous. but does
not always give signs that he appreciates
what the figures really mean. A million
means to many people an infinite number
which is not essentially increased by multi
plication by two or ten or twenty The rec
ord ofbuflding operations in the cities of st.
Pddl and Minneapolis for the year 1887
shows that very nearly twenty million dol
lars were expended in building. This means
that to the twin eities have boen added eight
and a half thousand houses and stores. The
st. Paul Pioneer-Press estimates that this
increase Of houses, many of which are double
apartment houses fitted to accommodate
more than one family, means an increase of
more than fifty thousand people in the two
cities. 1t means, If the estimates are cor.
rect, that there has been built up in the
streets and outskirts of Minneapolis and st.
Paul this year new city, more populouo
han Portland, nearly as populous as Port
land and Bangor together. Perhaps some
allowance ought to be made for the local sta
tisticians, who have had many temptations
to emulate in their figuring the fervor OF the
mechanics and artisans who have been do
ing the marvellous works Of which the great
ness is now computed. But as one Of the
bases Of the estimate is the number of per-
mits issued for new buildings it is not prob
able that the exaggeration is very great.

Hewitt and the Knights.

Mayor Hewitt's recent speech has called
down npon his head the maledictions of the
leaders of the Knights of Labor, who call
him an old woman, an old fogy, and various
other uncomplimentary names. In order
that his views may be correctly understood
by the public the Mayor has taken the
trouble to write them out as follows:
Ihaye not seen the reports Of the speech to
which you refer and, as a rnle, pay very little at
tention TO them. What you desire TO know, how
ever, is doubtless the view which really hold in
regard TO the matter which was under consdera
ton, namely, the right Of secret trade organiza-
ton to ere with the duties of common carriers
II is well settled principle Of law that common
carriers cannot set up defense against the per
Torrance of their duty to the public that there Is
a refusal of their employees TO work. It is the
duty Of the common carrier to secure the neces-
sary lab0rfor the work of transportation. II then
the duty of a common carrier is so imperative
any interference with this duty except through the
agencies Of the law is a direct attack upon public
property. My criticism was directed TO this phase
II the question only do not object to trade or
ganizafions, but when they under take to inter
fere with public rights they become criminal and
should be punished. In fact, the courts have new

er failed in any case when the question has been
presented TO hold the offending party responsible.
Public men, however, claiming TO be statesmen,
have by their failure TO take the right ground on
this question gwen encouragement to such orgar-
ization thus to attack the public interest; Against
such iaTs 70 a iS decded re This aid
a year ago in a wel-known letter to the Brooklyn
Democratic Club. and have since repeated this
view whenever had occasion TO refer TO the sub
ject. The convention at Saratoga did not make
any declaration on the subject, SO far as know.
1t will be seen from the above that the
published report of his speech did the Mayor
no injustice. We venture to predict that after
these delverances the Democrats will hardly
nominate him when they are after the labor

In the year just closed the experiment of
introducing women commissioners upon the
Board of Education has been tried in New
York City; and has been very success
full. The women appointed, Mrs. Agnew
and Miss Dodge, have, in the unanimous
opinion Of their colleagues, shown them
selves efficient and capable commissioners.
The New York Mail and Express says that,
so far as can be ascertained, they have man.
ifested spirit as judicial as any of their
masculine fellows. have not been controlled
by prejudice in any way, have worked well
in committee, and have done their visiting
duty rather better than some of the other
Commissioners. Perhaps the best testimony
of the success Of the experiment is the under
taking of another similar one,-the introduc-
tion Of women into the local boards of School
Trustees. A woman trustee has begun her
duties in one ward; and it is altogether prob
able that for any vacancies that may occur
in these boards during the coming year wo-
men will come forward for appointment.

The chief occupation during recess seems
to be the preparation of bills for the reduc-
ton of the surplus. Mr.. Mills, chairman of
the ways and means committee, has one I'M
der way, Mr.. Browne Of Indiana has anoth-
er. Mr.. Randall is supposed to be at work on
one, and numerous other members have the
subject on their minds. When the House
reassembles, therefore, there will be plenty
of raw material to work upon. 1t is believed
that The Democrats will make no attempt TO
follow the Presidents suggestions strictly.
They will attack the internal revenue as
well as the tariff on imports. They are talk
ing compromise again, aud It'll by no means
improbable that the ways and means COM
mittee may evolve a measure that Randall
can support as well as Carlisle. The recep-
ton that the Presidents message has had,
especially in the tobacco producing States,
has rendered the free traders less stiff and
exacting.
