George l.. silicon. the London Referee.
Another delightful rohc of the life and
times Of the TySsnt of Pldua is simple
key-sboug the size of 81 orjioary door
rev. It was the key CT
the Duk g library ia his private
room. Wien he wanted 70 get rid Of

household that he had q bitter feeling
against ne used to ring his bell snd AK
for Mr.. JDhn tn be sent to MIN (isncv

Duke woulA say: 30, )nD, | wish you
would go to the bookcase In my private
room and bring M The iD,gonet Bal
ads ," "Certdiniy, Your Grace" Mr.
J I'm would saY, and away he would tro
with the key in his hand. When he got
20 the library he would put the KEY in the
lock Of the book case and turn It. Bu'
directly he turned 1t out ef
the handle of the key shot a
long poisoned needle, woich stabbed
the hand If the holder and Instantly shot
back sgsin. John would let 60 the KEY
and gay, "Whst the dnce Is that" He
~ouIn look at his hand and see only
q small, dark blue spot. He would
think nothing of it, but sl CT q
sudden ne would begin to feel
queer In his head. Presently come one

the f,or and the household would be
alarmed. "Mr. John has had strok or

be OF no avail. In twenty four
hours Mr.. John would be dead and ev.rs-
body would think that he died through L

ssges must be sent In the same direction
snd over the same lines. Ia section five
sne Oil provides that parties excepting
news service should bs charged nks

inter state railroad bill WnIcn msde a
NUMBER OF exceptions relating to-
charities, officers, etc. The Western
Onion had contracts with 600
railroads for which free and half priced
! service was rendered in re,u!n for trans

Green said his sompsny would like
% have an Amendment adopted
settling the question of the HaoIlity
OF his company as 20 the production OF
kilograms under subj e1s from courts
and comE:Jtees. There had been all
sorts OF rulings on thst point. The most,
outrageous WIS the ruling of the Dotted
States several pears ago when the West
ern Union Comospy had Been compelled
to produce 81 00G teAgr,us bearing
on the preceding presidential election,
me ialrest ruling WAS that made In the
Bsocock case in st. Louis, when 1t was.
neld that the coBpsRy was Bound to pro-
duce only such messages 90 were sccu-
rstely described. H- would like to see
the provision In the bill limiting the dam
sse to De paid for dslsy in tbs transm g.
sion OF message, ssy to 500 times the
amount paid for the Transmission Of
the message. That ne thought wssa
reasonable rate. Il wss perfectly absurd
that telegraph company should
De subjected to $4,000 or $780,
sOe damages for delay in s message
for which % cents WAS paid. In conclu-
sion DR.. Grren addressed himself to the
Anderson bill requesting the Pacific R,il-
road Company to maintain and operate
their own telegraph lines, and criticised
come OF it's features. The effect OF the
measure, he said, would be to decrease the
revenues OF the roads. By such
legislation railroad companies would be
losers, the government would be loser,
and nobody would be benefited.
General SWsyne of The counsel for
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany followed IN an argument against
The Anderson bill.

Committee Echoes.

Committee Echoes.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, Tex March 2s.-This m arn-
ipg's trains carried away tae last member
Of the executive committee, and the town
is subsiding. In q day or two II will get
down to work agaiu. Everybody is con-
graduating everybody upon what is
termed Dallas victory.
As for trading, eli such is without
foundation. Much Is said about the
"Fort Worth and Austin slate" sll Of
| which exists only in the vivid imsglna-
ion OF those who assert any combinat on.
Jme Of the Fort Worth representatives
worked for Austin after Fort Worth had
secured the first convention, and one Of
| them worked for D,llss. TGese are the
fac,s In the case. Prohibition or Coke
never entered the deliberations OF
tae committee ius any way shape or
form. The towns of Dallas and
Fort Worth were selected solely upon
adeir merits and by the earnest work of
their representatives. As for the "sntis
rallying" to Dallas when they learned Of
the prohibition intrigues, it is ridiculous.
ANY sensio man knows that il il. had
oeen an "Snti" matter San Antonio would
have taken precedence IS place to rally
upon.
EXALL' 8 ItFARTIALITY.
The able aud impartial manner In which
Chairman Exall presided over the COM
mittee Is favorably commented upon by
all who were present. His one idea
was to nave an harmonious meet
ing ard the FerviDg OF the best interests
Of the party. Nc man could complain of
his rulings, and all conceded that the
chair evince& the sIrictest fairness to-
wards all the contesting cities, notwith-
standing his former and present towns
we're contes'a ants for the conventions.
Bob the chairman and the commute
proved by their actions that the colti
dence reposed in them by the Democracy
was well merited and IN no wise mis-
placed.
THK CALL
for the Fort Worth convention, which
will convene Nay %, will be issued to-
morrow 30 that the district, county and
precinct machinery of the party Can be
we'll lubrtcsted for tue work of selecting
delegates and the subsequent work OF the
campaign. l. Is possible that the call
for the Dtllss convention, which meets
August "A, will be called ~ ihe same
time. This ides is based upon The gen
eral convenience cf the people living in
he rural counties, snd to obviate too
frequent cslting together Of the Democ-
racY, where one m etiDg will suffice.
THE ELECTORAL TICKET
VIII hereafter be chosen by the conven-
tion that selects delegates to the nation
al conventions. Tn duty is not only
paced where 1t naturally belongs, but Il
relIrVes the state cnnvt ntion OF an over
burden Of work. Oar state conventions
heretofore have had tou much to
DO, especially in the years when geGerAI
Changes in eli ;ials occur, and each
eff &c is sought by numerous new men
Besides This it adds an increased interest
TO the quadreHnisl conventions that pro-
vide for the states representation in the
natiopel conventions.
