4 WORTHY CAUSE.

Mrs. Mary v. Hogan of Ennis, Texas,
hands US an appeal for help to build tbs
"White Cross Home" of the Wom.n's
Christian Temperance Unions of Texas.
She says the home is to be built at Gsr-
rett, on the Houston and Texas Central
Railroad, fifty-three miles from Fort
Worth. Land is bought and paid for,
and some lumber and shingles donated,
and some money p1id in; but more is
needed at once. The home is for the
fallen women anywhere in Texas who de-
sire to lead better life and be separated
from old associates. A good Christian
woman is waiting to take charge as
matron as soon as the house is built.
She appesls to all for help, and says
send along your money by postal note,
registered letter, money order or bank
cleck, or send due bill for lumber,
shingles, furniture, etc, to Ennis, Texas
One dollar donations will be gratefully
received and acknowledged by Mrs.
Hogan. Any who desire to know more
of the work can correspond with Mrs.

RIOTLNG MINERS.

The striking miners have lost the fight.
As long as they were peaceable the senti-
ment Of the American people was with
them, but since they have elected to vio-
late the laws OF the land there is no
longer that sympathy extended. No mat
ter who is to blame for the trouble the
miners will be charged with the offense.
1t is the best thing that could happen as
far as the railroads are concerned, and no
doubt they will welcome the turn affairs
has taken. The presence of the Pinker-
ton men doubtless had much to do with
melting the miners to acts of violence.
They are a lot OF men who go about arm
ed without any authority of law and pro-
pose to execute the law for psy, and very
naturally in the interest of those who pay
them. The organization is an insult tc
any state where they are permitted to
operate. When the people of state can
not execute their own laws they should
attach themselves to some other state
where officers can be found who are will
ing to see that the laws are respected.
The Pinkertons should go. TheIPoles
who are. now rioting should not have BEEN
brought here in herds by mine owners in
violation of law.

4 WE'LL PAD FARMER

The appropriation Of $4,000 for the
maintenance Of an experimental station in
connection with the Bryan Agricultural
and Mechanical College seems to have
been bounced upon at very early hour
II the proceedings of THE GAzETIE's
special kilograms from Austin are to be
credited. The salary of the professor in
charge is said to have been fixed at
$4,000, including assistants, and the re-
naming $4,000 is all that is left to expert
ment with. THE GAZETTE does not pro-
fess to know just what is contemplated,
or how the professor Is to benefis tie
country to the amount of his salary. 1t
is possible he is worth every cent of the
money, or more. THE GAZETTE merely
mentions the fact as one instance where
a "fsrmer" has been recognized and
literally remunerated. Our young
men who are "cropping" in Texas
should rejoice snd be of good
cheer. They should go gladly sfield with
plow and hoe, to study the ways and
~hims Of the various weeds and seeds,
secure in the belief that some day they
may be in charge of an experimental
station where $4,000 6 year would be
their reward. Texas should be glad to
know that Uncle Sam is going to send her
a professor whose bounden dutyit shall, be
to tell her what he knows about farming. |
We will learn how to make sweet po-
tatoes and pumpkins grow in lunches on
the ends Of the vines, and those vines
will be taught to run from the field to the
root-cellar and drop their fruits in pile,
returning In ample lime for an early start |
the next season. The $4,000 will not buy /
much land, stock and farming impIe-
nents, but the new regime can initiate

Gerry. "The indefiniteness of the time

continued, "lends a dreadful solemrity

No distortion-too quick; noconvulsions;

In the northern states the rufisd
grouse, commonly known IS partridges,
have a habit Of nesting down in the
snow, and hunters say they do 20 to keep
warm. In Oxford county, Maine, s man
was passing through wood lot and was
startled to see bird start almost under
his feet and fly awsy. Looking carefully
ahead of him he saw 8 dozen or more OF
bl:ck specks on the snow. Closer in
spection proved that each Of these was
the head of partridge. The birds sat
quite still until he was almost near
enough to touch them, then shook him
self free from the light snow and few

HOW THAT $4,000, 900 WERE

LOST.
1t could hardly have been supposed
that the president of great corporation
like the Reading Railway and Mining
Company-for it now appears to be prac-
tically one concern-wouIo attempt to
wilfully deceive the public regarding it's
business with the miners. The policy of
such course is as bad as the principle.
1t merely shows that presidents Of great
corporations, who refer to millions with
as mucn Indifference as most OF US poor
mortsls speak Of single dollars, are
decidedly human, using that term with the
full sense of Its erring tendency. It ap-
pears that the Attorney General OF Penn
sylvania is to make an investigation to
find out whether the relations of the coal
company and the railway company
violate the state laws. The coal
company has been paying the railroad
company enormously high rates for trans
ortation-changing the cash from the
left hand to the right as it were-and
this, together with The interest on the
corporation bonds, is where a liberal
share Of the SIP 1000, 600 paid to miners
more than the receipts can be accounted
for.

shall BIO Indicted.
New York Graphic, February1.
The question whether Jay Gould and
Russell Ssge could be convicted on an in
dictment charging them with the fraudu-
lent conversion of property as trustees
was discussed at length TO day by District
Attorney Fellows assisted by Delaney
Nicoll and William II. Delaney for the
people, and by eX-Judge Dillon, Hon.
Bourke Cochran and Mr.. Almet Goodwin
for the two mIilionaires. The proceedings
grew out of an information laid by Law
yer Delaney during Judge Martins I'D
ministration as district attorney, IN which
he charged that by Mr.. Gould's testimony
given to the Prcific Railroad Investigating
commission, they had become possessed
of s., 900 900 worth of Denver Poetic
Railroad ana Telegraph stock, and still
retaining it they had committed the
offense described in the penal code as
continuous conversion and Withholding
Of property found within five years after
Its commission. The offense, il any, was
committed prior to January II, 1880. But
as the alleged fraud is in the nature OF q
continuous conversion the legal lumins-
ries of the District Attorneys Office were
of the opinion hat the courts should have
8 chance to dispose of that question.
The conference lasted from noon until
l p. m, when an adjournment was had

paared. Neither the attorneys for the
