Robert S. Tarver, a prominent,
Texas lawyer, left Monterey, Mex,
recently with his wife to return
home. He was in the last stage of
consumption, and when the train
had passed Lampasas the doctor
who accompanied him discovered
that he was dead, The doctor i'm
parted the sad news to Mrs. Tar
yer. who sat in the next seat pc
hind him, but told her if it was
discovered the body would be
stopped in Mexico and $500 az
port duty demanded before it could
be taken into Texas. Her forth
tude for the next three hours, which
il took the train to cross into the
United States, was very great. Du-
ring all that time no sigh or sob
escaped her, and the dead body OF
her husband came safely to TINS
side without even the conductor q
"a passenger being aware that there
was a corpse on the train.-Staked

Right Of va, for Railroads.

People generally do not rsaliz'
the beaelits derived By railroads
psssing through their lands, but
that such benefits do come to al
over whose land o railroad may be
Constructed there Is little doubt
The question Of right Of way fol
the proposed railroad to San Saba
has 50 FAR laet with but little op-
position, but for the benefit Of the
lew oppossrs and for the comfort
Of those who have eheerfully con
4ibuted the right Of way, we pub
iish the following article upon the
subject from a late issue # the
LuliDg Signal:
Probably from now until dooms-
day there viii be a few moss backs
who are always eroaking about rail
roads. and declaring that they want
none q them. They will squirt
ont q stream of tobacco juice and
d elareihat .hey wouldn't have a
railroad pass through their lands
under any consideration; that II
would ruin It forever, aud yet when
asked 10 give a reason, they viii
rear back and say: "Beksse why,
they are graspin' monoperlies,
that rob tho poor man TO make the
rich man richer" This old hack
neyed expression has been used
untl It's staieness is becoming OPP
pressiYe 10 the nostrils, and is
simply a dodge to shan argument
While in some instances the con-
straetion Of a railroad viii injure
a small tract Of land, in nine cases
out Of ten II will add hundreds Of
dollars to its value, and give the
owner more conyeniehces than he
ever had before IN his life. If his
COW or horse should happen to be
killed, Ia Will collect its value
fourfoid; If a spark should ignite
his grass or fences, be viii get
enough in return to repair all dam
ages and have a few dollars over
with which to lay IL his weekly
supply Of bitters. True, he may
not have a depot within a mile Of
him, SO that he eau cut mp his land
and sell il out for town lots, al
though such things have frequent
~ occurred, but the building of
railroad through any section of
country necessarily means the
springing up Of towns and cities
and siae rapid increase Of popala-
ton. This viii give the land own
er a better market for his produce
viii bring about competition, les
sen the cost Of freight and enable
him TO purchase his supplies much
cheaper than be did before his
land was penetrated by railroads.
There are some men shrewd
enough to see these advantages,
and also to fully appreciate the

that every mile Of railroad viii
bring to his county. Any increase
Of taxable values reduces the tax

Cotton Seeds Romance.

Was there ever history this
side Of Cinderella or the uprising
Of humanity like that of the cotton
seed?
For seventy years despised as a
nuisance and burned or dumped as
garbage.
Then discovered to be the very
food for which the soil was hung
ering, and reluctantly admitted to
the rank of ugly utilities.
Shortly afterwards found to be
nutritious food for beast as we'll
as soil, and thereupon treated with
something like respect
Once admitted TO the circle of farm
husbandries, found to hold thirty
five gallons of pure oil to the Il :
worth in its crude state, s14 70 Z ]
ton or s5O,00O,O60 for the VINO >
crop Of seed.
But then a system was devised
for refining this oil up to the val
ne Of 81 a gallon, and the frugal
Italians placed a cask at the root
Of every olive tree, and then defied
the Borean breath of the Alps.
And then experience showed
that the ton of cotton seed was a
better fertilizer and better stock
when robbed of its IS gallons of
oil than before.
And that the bulls of the seed
made the best fuel for feeding the
oil mill engine.
And that the ashes of hulls
scooped from the engines drift
had the highest commercial value
as potash.
And that the refuse" of the
whole made the best and purest
soap stock to carry to the toilet the
perfumes of Dublin or Colgate.
About this time we begin to
spell cotton seed with capital let
tiers.
And how it travelled abroad in
its various dressesl As meal
cakes it whitened the meadows of
England with woody feeces and
fattened the British cattle under
the oaks; it sputtered on the stoves
of the Dutch, in lieu of lard; it
glistened in the cafes of Paris as
olive oils under seals and sigma
lures it couldn't ever pronounce to
save its life, and from under the
dikes in Holland it went forth to
parade IN all the bravery of bnt-
terine.
in our own country it removed
the wasting strength of southern
fields and clad them with white
ness that would shame the fleece
of Argonauts. 1t knocked the
western hog into spots, and poured
the western lard out of the frying
pan into the fire. 1t furnished
the Armours and Fairbankses with
pure substitute for the rancid fat
they had been shipping us, aud
suggested the possibility of a clean
and cheap lard.
= And about this time congress
jumped on to cotton seed with |
both feet and proposed to check
its further career by a prohibitory /
tax. Atlanta Constitution.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There can be little doubt that Theo-
dore Hamilton's ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" is, taken all in all, the most re-
markable piece Of acting this versatile
veteran has done since he has been in
Minneapolis. At any rate, it is GER
tainly his most popular achievement.
Two runs" of weeks duration each
were not sufficient to satisfy the patrons
of the Peoples theater, and so, in def
erence to very general demand,
"Jekyll and Hyde" was put on again
last night, to run through the present
week. The house was fully up to the
average of Sunday night audiences at
the Peoples, which means that stand
ing room commanded premium. Mr..
Hamilton has rarely, if ever. given
so complete, smooth and fin
ished portrayal Of the benevo-
lent old physician and his awful other
lingly powerful and realistic piece of
work, and the large audience was held
as if spell-bound. The only defect in
Mr.. Hamilton's work, and that was not
serious, was pronounced huskiness in
his voice in the Jekyll scenes. His
Hyde was picture of Stevenson's
monster that could scarcely have
been added to-so hideous, so sinister.
so utterly revolving was it. The sup
port was excellent throughout. Re-
peated presentations have made the
work of the company remarkably
smooth and even.
The entertainment given by the Mil
lard Richards Illustrated and Concert
company, Saturday evening, at the
Eighth Ward Relief hall, was not only
very interesting, but was novelty in
the amusement line. A large audience
attended the performance. The lecture
delivered by Louis Frederlcks on his
travels through America and foreign
countries. which was illustrated by over
100 stereopticon views, was highly III
teresting. while the beautiful solos,
trios and quartette songs, many of
which were illustrated by appropriate
views, created Juror of enthusiasm,
particularly the flag song, which was
alone worth the price of admission.

SUNDAY AT THE THEATERs.

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" Again
Boston Ideals---At the Pence.
The Boston Ideal Opera company
opens its engagement at the Grand
opera tonight, presenting ROssinPs
Barber of Seville" Mile. Pauline
L'Allemand will be seen in the role of
Rosina. while the remaining roles of
the opera will be strongly cast. To-
morrow the new opera by Masse, en-
titled ''Queen Topaz" will be pre-
scented.
That most ancient and honorable
avant courier, John j. Foster, is in the
city. MIR. Foster represents Rice d
Dixey's Big Bnrlesque company, and is
Arranging for the production Of
''Adonis'' at the Grand, with Henry g..
Dixey in the title role. Over sixty peo-
pie are in the production and the greater
part are of the feminie gender.
There are few prettier plays in ex-
istence than ''Little Barefoot" Like
"Fanchon," Caprice" and "Lorle," it
is a story of simple life, but beautiful
story and we'll told. The production of
Little Barefoot at the Pence last
night packed the theatre. Jessaline
Rogers seems to be destined to share
uOIOfS Will MlIillt Mduuelu. 81 WOii
does she play those roles for which
Minnie Maddern's genius is peculiarly
adopted. In the role of Amry last
night she brought out all the tender
pathos and quaint humor which the
author put into the soul of Little Bare
foot, and was a great fayorite. She
danced and sang and talked the part
completely. b. W. Wilson was not a
good William Peace. Little Barefoot"
will run until Thursday, when new
comedy called LUCKY Ranch'' will
be put on.

THE PRACTICAL CHRIST.
The Relationship of Jesus Christ
to the Human Family.

Rev. Manion D. Shutter preached to
the congregation of the Church of the
Redeemer, in the Grand opera house,
from the text: ''ln Him was life and
the life was the light of men,"
What relationship does Jesus Christ
sustain to men? Is there but one way
in which He can be used and preached?
Are we to say to men to-day, "He
eXpiated your sins, He washed out your
guilt in his blood, He invests you with
his own righteousness % There is a
nobler way in which Jesus saves. In
Him, more than in any other, is life
divine; and that life, shining as from
rocky eminence on the shores of time,
guides the storm-toSsed souls OF men
into the wished-for haven.
1.-The cry of the human heart. in all
ages, has been for the living God. The
position of man in the universe has in
it all the elements of pathOS and
tragedy. He seems to be the prey of
cruel and destructive forces. He builds
his cottage OF his temple only to behold
the lightning fall from heaven and
smite them into the dust. He fixes
his heart upon some beloved
object he looks again, and the
light fades from the eye, and the cum
ming from the hand. The question
comes again and again, Is there any
thing back of all this? Behind the play
of these hostile forces is there bene-
ficent power? Let me be assured that
there is heart of goodness in the uni
verse and am content. In answer to
this question, out of the life of God
which beat in his own heart, out of his
own experience of God, Jesus taught
the world the great lesson of the divine
fatherhood and love. Upon that brow
where men had imagined clouds and
darkness, he wrote the name of the
Father. On the throne where JupiterS
had sat and Numbered, he placed
monarch whose name was Love!
There is another question: What are
we ourselves? What are we to be and
do? While there are many excellent
specimens around us, how many poor
and shabby lives do we see! How in
complete is the best life with which we
are acquainted! Is there nothing bet
ter in men? Is there no higher out
come? I'm Him was life" Behold that
Son OF Man who was the representa-
human nature. Let us look at
Him who obtained victory over all
the forces of evil, and who says to us,
''Be of good cheer: have overcome the
World.'' 1--WE shall be like him.
By the truth that he teaches of God
and man, and by the incarnation of that
truth in his own character, Jesus saves
men. We receive from his life and
words inspiration that acts upon the
soul as sunlight upon the plant. He
does not save us by dong things for us,
by rousing to action and stimulating the
entire moral nature. Let us take,
therefore, His words and example. Let
us so take them that they shall become
living realities. Take them with you
tomorrow when you go down to your
places of business. When you are
tempted to be unjust and harsh, when
tempted to take advantage of your
neighbor, let His example rise before
you; ask yourselves what He would have
done, how lie would have dealt; and
there will be but little chance fer mis-
talle.n

Arrested After a Struggle.

Early yesterday morning Inspector
Fail BARN had quite severe tussle with
a couple of toughs in front of the Jumbo
saloon on Washington avenue south,
and only escaped being pretty roughly
handled by the timely arrival of Officer
Mcnamara, who assisted him in placing
the tonghs under arrest and conveying
them to the police station. The trouble
began when the inspector attempted to
arrest one Of the belligerant gentlemen
named Thomas Cochran, on the charge
of being the party who held up William
Kidd on the night of Nov, u, on Sixth
street, and relieved him of what money
he had and watch and chain. Accord
ing to the description given by Kidd of
the robber, suspicion attached to Coch-
rane, who has rather hard reputation,
and the police have been looking for
him ever since. On being arrested by
Fairbairn he made desperate fight for
his liberty, and was ably assisted by his
companion, but the timely arrival OF Of
1icer Mcnamara prevented their escape.
After being taken to the police station
Cochrane admitted holding up Kidd and
told where the watch and chain could
be found.
