INVENTOR OF VoLAPUK, DECEASED.

Father Schleyer, parish priest of
Constance, and inventor of Nolapuk,
is dead He was a scholar and lin
guist of celebrity. His birthplace
was the Grand Duchy Of Baden, and
he first saw the light in 1881. AS the
inventor of language adapted to
universal use, he will live in history.
Volapuk has been recognized by
many authorities as promising at
tempt to achieve most desirable end,
and in it's present incomplete form,
consisting of only seventeen thousand
words, has been adopted as mean
of intercourse with the outside world
by many houses of business in France,
Italy and Germany. Whether it will
ever become a universal language,
taught in all schools in place OF for
eign tongues, remains to be proved.
1t was introduced in the year 1880.
Volapuk means worlds speech, vol,

FIRST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains
in various parts of the body, sinking
at the pit of the stomach, loss of APP
petite, feverishness, pirnples or sores,
are all positive evidence of poisoned
blood. No matter how it became
poisoned it must be purified to avoid
death. Acker's English Blood Elixir
has never failed to remove scrofulous or
syphilitic poisons. For sale by

THE busiest men in San Antonio
today are the directors, secretaries
and managers of the San Antonio
National fair. They are crowding
the mourners about eighteen hours
out of twenty-four. Everything is
working like charm. Preparations
are pushed as fast as money and labor
can accomplish anything. All pos
sible provisions are being made for
the comfort, convenience and pleasure
of the thousands upon thousands who
will be in attendance, and only sue
cess can crown such efforts as are be-
ing made. The people Of San AntO-
Mo will find themselves Overrun as
never before, and the probabilities
now are that the citizens will have to
provide private accommodations for
the members of the International
Press association, which cOnvenes
here on the 2lst oil November.

rangements and announcements
made at Denver last August are at
work. The Colorado, Nebraska, New
Mexico and Utah delegates came
down on Tuesday. Colorado, besides
Ex-Governor Evans, president, and F.
I. Dana, secretary, included Governor
Alva Adams and Senator Adam Will
son. All, with the exception of Sec
rotary Dana, who is as yet unprovided
with that luxury, were accompanied
bv their wives. 1t is too early to note
anything concerning the proceedings
of the committee, who. if they adhere
to their original programme will visit
this city before returning home.
AS WILL be seen by reference to our
local columns the committee of one
hundred and fifty, fifty republicans,
fifty democrats and fifty laborites,
have completed their work and put
ticket in the field. The ticket is a
strong one in most of its nominations
and will make a very warm canvas
necessary OH the part of the nom
partisans to elect their opposition can
didates. The meeting last night was
earnest, and pre-eminently character
lied by spirit of fair play. The one
desire seemed to be to secure good
men for office outside of the county
and city rings.

The English Soldier.

Soldiers are met so frequently over there as
to impress him with the magnitude of the
burden their support must entail.
The English soldier, he says, is q model in
appearance. He is strong and athletic, very
erect, with a most soldieray carriage. His
uniform is clean, handsome and well fitting,
and when seen of duty, with natty little
cap perched jsuntily on the side Of his head,
cane in hand and well gloved, The is in ap-
pearancs the most distinguished soldier in
the world Distinctive uniforms add greatly
TO the esprit de corps Of the army, for every
uniform has q history and record that is to
be maintained. While he deems the English
volunteers powerful adjunct for national
defense, he thinks their organization and
system il many respects inferior TO our Ma
tional guard.-New York Herald:

The Accident of Fortune-1he Second

In these days when SO many men who were
born in the gutter die in palace, when the

abnegation.
limitations, whether in jewelry, fabric or
manhood are readily recognized. There is a
superficiality of polish, gaudy sickness Of
varnish, an unpleasant prominence of trait
about limitations which fortunately the solid,
genuine material does not need. As in a
museum one can find gathered by the hand Of
enterprise curiosities from all portions of the
globe, so in city may be found, drawn by q
common magnet of ambition, all the odd de-
velopments of human nature and one Of the
strangest features of metropolitan experience
is the extraordinary growths which are ap-

airy growths in directions utterly foreign to
any seed supposed to exist in the parent
stock.
The boatman of yesterday produces the
dude of today. The corner groceryman Of
twenty years ago effloresces into the Fitz-
noodle of this year. The practical butcher
of the past is transformed into the manikin
of the present. The honest, painstaking, in
dustrious self denyer, who for forty years
put head and heart and hand at severest toll
in order that his pocket might be filed, pro-

For when you felt most sure OF one,

Sometimes caused apprehension,

Too numerous to mention,
Yet none were smart enough TO find
A positive prevention.

They'd give Ted Oil when Tod was sick.
