The political campaign is waxing hot and
both parties are preparing for big effort in
November. Uniformed companies are multi
plying and squads of solid citizens will soon
be marching through the mud in support Of
one candidate or the other and every man
who hasn't uniform must wear badge of
some kind to show that he isn't member af
the other party. If you are committeeman
it is more than likely that you'll be called
upon at short notice to find badges for two
or three hundred men, and you won't know
where to go for them. Come to us.
We are prepared to make to order any kind
of badge for any occasion, at any price and
in any quantity, and our facilities for quick
work are better than those of any other
house hereabouts.
For use on ribbon badges we have invent
ed and had made in large quantities pin for
fastening which everybody acknowledges to
be the best thing Of the kind in the market.
1t is adjustable to all widths of ribbon, holds
the badge in place and is very cheap.

A Pretty Retreat,

"Oh, what's so rare as a day in June!'
sings the poet, but surely Texas April
days have all the luxuriance OF June.
The poet has in mind the slower growth
Of our colder northern summers, but here
young April natures SO quickly that
one is in the full glory of spring and
early summer almost together and at
once. A ride over the Texas prairies
through April and May are moments Of
joy and exhiliration to be looked back
on with the keenest pleasure of remem-
brance when far away. Not long ago
we took long drive out into the BIOS
soming country, redolent with the
thousand and one varieties of most ex-
quisitely tinted and perfumed wild flow
ers, and tall bushes of the voet col
We paid a call at Colonel Nc
natural park in San Antonio. Miles Of
the softly rolling, rnickly wooded
country around, are owned by that
gentleman, and about centrally in his
wide domain, stands the old homestead
with its great hospitsble. doors, and hall.
Just below the house, Is bubling lake,
clear and cool, and that little lake, nest
ling in the green bosom of the flower
covered banks, over which the great
trees rustic caressingly, is the head Of
the most beautiful river in Texas, the
San Antonio, it's very source and spring.
Long did we watch the ceRseless up
springing of the water, then we recen-
dered back through the thIcket bordered
lane to the house. The genial lady Of
the house gave us to drink Of the most
delicious homemade buttermilk and
other dainties, and after drinking in as
well, the perfect picture of slope and
valley, over which the mellow lights of
evening were beginning to fall, and on
whose ancient oaks, slapted for a
moment the the quickly dying sun, we
slowly turned hOmewards towards the
city, perohance to dream of this sweet
Texas idyl.

Damage to Men-of-War.

NEW ORLEANS, May s.-Six men-of-
war belonging to the north Atlantic
squadron, Admiral Luce command
ing. have anchored of the city for the
past few days. During the heavy storm
of yesterday, three large barges in tow
of the tug. Future City, were driven into
the fleet, playing havoc. One barge struck
the bow of the steel cruiser, Atlanta,
and being held fast, caused the Atlanta
to drag the anchors down the stream for
nearly mile, until the barge was pulled
of, and beached. Another barge struck
the gun boat Galens, breaking the lat
ter's anchor chain, causing her to drift
down the stream. The barge sunk.
The third barge struck the man-of-war
Yantis, doing small damage. Ex-
citement In the harbor was great during
the storm. Each war ship carries from
two hundred to four hundred souls.

A Small Funeral.

A sad little funeral occurred in the
southwestern portion of the city last
Saturday afternoon. A little Mexican
child died, and as the family was very
poor no one could be sent after a coffin
but little boy. He went and returned,
bearing the tiny pine baby coffin on his
head. With no grave clothes, except
those worn by the cherub in lite brief
existence, the child was laid In the cof-
fin by its poor mother. and then, with
the lad bearing the coffin and corpse up
on his head, the sad funeral procession,
consisting Of the boy, the bereaved
mother and another woman who was
stay ing ut the house, marched out TO the
Catholic cemetery Of the San Fernando
congregation and there, after the grave
was dug by the lad, the corpse was de-
posted and the services were over.
Truly. this must have been touching
sight. this simple funeral, and such q
contrast to some of the grand funerals
seen on our streets

Great Corn Syndicate.

CHICAGO, Ills, May S.-The Daily

personnel is known to select few on

wealthy local merchants constitute the
party, and they are practically in con-
troll of all the corn In sight according to
reports. which are believed to be reli-
able. These three gentlemen, believing
that corn WAS legitimately worth
more money, began to buy 1t
early last winter. They have been at
1t ever since. with exception of small
lot, which is in the control Of the Buff
falo glucose factory, and a large quanti-
ty which was bought by the McCormic
people at st. Louis for foreign export.
Nearly all the available corn has passed
into their hands. With few exceptions,

something enormous. AS the time for
settlement of the May business DIRE "
near, however, they began to let Shorts
change their May contracts to June at
two cents difference. Shorts in May fu-
ture realizing their inability to free
their contracts, have been more
than willing to make the
change. and at the two cents difference.
1t is profitable to the syndicate. Mean
while two commission houses are prscti-
cslly controlling the cash corn for them,
and every bushel that goes out never
comes back. The syndicate knows
whether it ls going to supply genuine

by the syndicate is to keep corn we'll up

to the marketing of the new crops, and
incidentally Of course, to make money

To Eulogize ConkIing.
ROBERT G. INGERSOLL.
1.-THE GREATEST ORATOR OF THE AGE"

Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll Of New
York, has accepted the invitation of the
State of New York to deliver an GRAFTON
upon the life and work of Roscoe Conk-
ling at the capitol In Albany. The invi-
tation was rendered by joint commit
tee of the legislature. Colonel Ingersoll
replied that the committee could name
any day but May s. 1t is practically set
tied that the Grafton will be delivered
on Mayo.
When. during the presidential CAM
paign of 1880, Henry Ward Beecher in
troduoed Mr.. Ingersoll as 1.-The greatest
orator OF the age" though he said what
may be open to dispute, he gave prom
inence ct an appropriate time to Col.
Ingersoll's strongest qualification. This
genial man Of the world Is born public
speaker as certainly as nature set up
william Shakespeare for poet. His
thoughts naturally shape themselves
Into expressions, apt, brilliant. often
witty and always impressive. He uses
his pen with the force which draws up
on him reply from no less q man than
Mr. Gladstone. His attacks on Chris
tianity by tongue and article are ex-
amples Of extraordinary literary bril-
lianoy, whatever may be thought Of
their logic.

He built up large and lucrative prao-
tice in Illinois, made himself national
reputation as a lawyer and orator, and
then settled in New York, where his
counsel and services in the court room
are much sought by clients who can az
ford such Injuries. Mr.. Ingersoll is
rich.
Mr.. Ingersoll was born 1884, and was
raised In Vermont. He ia son of q
clergyman OF Puritanic ideas, who look
ed, perhaps too closely after the spirit
ual Improvement of Bob" who tells
how his father used to require him to
attend church, praise meeting and Sun
day school every Sabbath, in addition to
visiting the graveyard in the course Of
the day. The boy, who had an idea
peculiarly his own on all subjects, soon
rebelled strongly against this alleged
despotism Of his father, and left home
at an early age. His education was re-
oeived in the common schools andsup-
plemented by much reading during his
leisure hours. After studying law he
was admitted to the bar and began prac-
tice in Illinois.
Mr.. Ingersol's personal appearance is
very pleasing and his manner is taking.
With a well-built body, handsome
face, large, dark, eloquent eyes and an
easy grace Of movement, he oaptivates
an audience before he has opened his
mouth. The orator Is "fami!y man."
