Later On"

This musical farce was presented
to a small audience last night by Hal
len & Hart. They are as good as
ever, but some of the wit introduced
by them was little too broad, and
one song, "Don't YOU think they'd
like it," was not new and the audi
ence did not like it. The Later On'
song was a crisp one, though. Miss
Georgia Parker took the sOubrette
part as ''Pansy." She is not pretty,
can dance well and skip about, but is
not above the average. Miss Martha
Porteus, as Rose Seed" was hand
some as her namesake, and has a
good voice. Mr.. Kelly, as the Irish
sheriff, did his work well, as did Miss
Bennington as "Moilio,n and Mr.. Gui-
bersOn, as "Mildmay Smiles" The
company has left for FL PasO; thence
they 60 to Los Angeles.
Tonight and tomorrow night w. J..

IN EARNEST DIVINE.
Rev, 4. J. Harris, the "Cow- Soy
PrcaCher"--A Short Bit
Of His Life.

Of Ills Life.
Last night the Alamo Baptist church
was filled TO its utmost Capadity to
hear Rev. A. J. Harris, who from his
unprecedented record, has, in four
short Yeas, won for himself a state
wide reputation as all earnest minister
of God. Mr.. Harris education is
quite limited; he possesses no high
Oratorical attachments, but his every
movement impresses his auditors that
he is in earnest. His mother died
when he was an infant and his father
was killed in the war. His early life
was spent on ranch working cattle.
When he was 10 he heard his
first sermon and was conve. ted
soon after. In his sermon he stated
that when he was fourteen years old
he fell from his horse on street in
San Antonio, a drunken sot. He is "a
man of fine figure, black hair and
eyes, smooth face, and quite youthful
looking. His sermon will not be soon
forgotten by those present, and he
will always be warmly welcomed by
the church going people Of San AntO-
Mo. He leaves for his home in
Gainesville this afternoon.

Going on With The Road.
MIsHAWAKA. Oct. 24t

MIsHAwAKA, Oct. Oath.
EDITOR AsToRIAN:-There was an
item in your paper about a road
organization some time ago. In
Mishawaka since then, there has
been an organization started in
the Fishhswk settlement to cooper
ate with us. They elected George
Warren, A. l.. Parker, and @. Olson,
as business managers. The object is
to collect from all members equally,
and apply all funds honestly on the
road, to give preference to members
on contracts, and let small contracts.
We expect to keep contractors on the
road from this time, until it is opt ned.
Our officers serve without pay, and
are men who will see that the bust.
ness is done properly.
Our first contract is let, and about
half done; the contractors are doing
more for S1.25 per settler. than the
taxes Of these same settlers have
done in two years past.
We expect every settler to join
with us by the first of Decembs1
I will furnish you list of all who a.
willing to do their share; also list OF
those who had to be compelled by the
supervisor to do what the law re-
quires. We want Astoria to know
there is some energy here (as there
always has beenl and we want them
to know which of our settlers are to
blame for our bad roads.
Prospects never looked better in
this section, and we hope to open the
road before next July.
Yours truly,

The st. Stephens ReDieoo of Lon
don, with the usual English compre-
hension of American politics, says:
"The Republicans in America have
improved on the methods of the En-
glish separatists. Mr.. Gladstone has
been recommended to the electors on
sufficiently silly and irrelevant
grounds, but surely for downright
and utter absurdity nothing will ever
beat the idea of supporting General
Harrison for the presidency because
he happens to have big head. 1t
appears that the general wears a TX
hat, while President Cleveland only
takes IN" After making this won-
derful statement the Reoie1O suggests
that we find the man who wears the
largest hat in America and make him
president at once.

AN English tourist who finds him.
self quite often within the boundaries
of the Republic, tells of his profound
conviction that there are more poll
tics to the square mile in the United
States than in any other country upon
the globe. He says that no matter in
what year or at what season of the
year he arrives, nor whether he ar
rives among us by way of New York
or San Francisco, he finds US either
in the midst of an election, or prepar-
ing for an election, or inst getting
over an election, and he fancies that
''this great American industry" as to
which he hears or sees such frequent
but vague reference, must consist in
the voting of somebody into or out of
office. For a superficial view of
American public life, our transatlantic
cousin has not gone SO wide of the
mark. With forty-seven state and
territorial governments, besides the
federal government, mainly differed
by means of the ballot, it is not to be
wondered at that the sun rarely sets
upon the political activities of our
population. Whether the results of
SO much administration, and its con-
sequent electioneering, are worth all
they cost is a question upon which a
great deal may be said on both sides.
No doubt the complexity of our polit-
ical system does much to conceal from
the people its undeniable expensive
ness, but what a row there would
soon be if all the expenses of federal
and state governments and elections
had to be met by congressional appro-
priations.

EVERY man on roads in which Jay
Gould is interested, if holding an i'm
portant position, must be bonded for
his good moral character and honesty.
Before a man is taken by one of the
guarantee com panies his record for
character must be carefully looked
up, and then the guarantee companies
occasionally get deceived. They will
not bond man who can be called q
drinking man. If he has stolen In
one place he cannot get bond for
another. "Once thief always thief

EXTREMES meet. In one and the
same issue of an English journal we
find a news item stating that Patti is
to receive 1,3OO per night for singing
in concerts in South America, and an
advertisement of sermons for shil-
ling, beautifully simple, full of mat
ter, teaching personal holiness and
practical religion" and for an extra
threepence, sermons, original, fresh,
vigorous, clearly written, and with
special arrangements for local adap.
tation." The world is always willing
to pay more to be amused than to be
admonished, and probably always Will
be that way inclined.

His Excellency, the Governor, L. S. Ross, and
Gentlemen:
Please accept my sincere thanks for
your invitation to be present at the dedi-

and the unvarying hospitality of her sons.
1t has been with me cherished hope, &C
companied by my famly,t to visit Texas,and
though that hope has been thus far disap-
pointed, the wish has in no degree di-
miuished. Rejoicing that your state
Is to have capitol worthy OF

they did at ancient Jerusalem, and whence
benefcent administration shall flow with
equal current 10 every portion of her i'm

The Currant Worm.

The best known remedy for the currant
worm, which infests both currant and
gooseberry bushes, is white hellebore.
Now white hellebore is an altogether diff
ferent drug from black hellebore, so re-
member and use the former. The cheap
est and easiest mode of application is to
mix the hellebore in water. Place heap
ing tablespoonful of the powder in dish;
add gradually quart of boiling water,
SURFING all the while to make certain that
the hellebore is thoroughly saturated.
Turn this mixture into a pailful of cold
water, stir well and apply with garden
syringe or ordinary watering pot. The
OBJECT is to wet every leaf; make two ap-
plcations, a few days apart. While white
hellebore is poisonous there is little or no
danger from its use, as above directed.
The chances are that before the fruit is
ripe enough to eat the rains will have
washed off all traces of the hellebore, and
should any remain on the clusters the
fruit will present a soiled appearance and
be rejected in consequence.

PASSED AWAY.
Death of Mr.. Evan P. Graves, Late
CITY Editor of The Statesman.

Mr.. Evan p. Graves, after lingering
illness, quietly passed away yesterday
morning at 1890 o'clock. Mr.. Graves was
a well-known newspaper man, having been
connected with the Galveston News, The
STATESMAN and other papers for several
years. He was an efficient newspaper
man and a genial companion. His funeral
will occur this morning at II o'clock from
his late residence on West Eleventh street,
one door from Guadalupe street. Friends
are invited to attend.
The deceased editor and reporter, whose
pencil has been thrown aside forever, was
native Texan, but studied law in Louis
vile, Ky. subsequently adopting Jour
nali-m as a profession, he was for while
an attache of the Courier-Journa'. Coming
to Texas, Mr.. Graves was successiVely
identified with the press of the cities OF
Dallas, Houston and Galveston. he
was for four years city editor OF the
Galveston News, and again became con
nected with the Fort Worth Mail. LaterlJ
he became city editor of The STATESMAN
and then of the Dispatch. But the Eel
destroyer consumption had laid its tata
hand upon him, and for several months
past he has been confined to his room

speech of the daughter of the company.
Miss julia Male, was little rhetorical gem,
full of bright thoughts, apt admonition
and ringing patriotism. 1t was as follows:
Officers and Soldiers of the Texas Rifles
Accept this banner as testimonial of
the esteem lii which you are held by your
friends as gentlemen and soldiers. In
committing 1T to your care know tnst it
Will be bravely protected and honorably
defended, and that its folds will never be
eImitted to trail in dishonor or defeat
Peace hath her victories as well as
war;" and while the rude alarum of no
hostile foe calls you to duty, the gauge
of battle has been thrown down and you
are summoned to meet in friendly and
generous rivalry the flower of southern
chivalry. From all over the southland
will they come, to contest for the honors
at our coming carnival. In this
friendly exhibition of skill AMI pr ticiency
in arms, l trust that the banner of the
Texas Rifles will wa, in the van, and tpat
the spot left vacant on its virgin folds to
record your victories and your trimuphs
will recfive its baptism, and that loving
hands will be called upon to inscribe in
letters of gold the proud distinction that
Won have been declared victors over such
gallant competitors as you will be GALE d
upon to meet.
May this banner prove to you guerdon
of victory and talisman to nerve you on
to deeds of valor. Beneath its colors the
fathers of Texas independence marched
through flame and fire to glorious and
triumphant success. May their heroic
example be ever before you, and should
the fates of war Call you to the tented
field and armed strife, may these colois
serve to remind you of the patriotic
deeds of your ancestors and brace your
hears to sacrifice your lives if necessary,
but never your honor or that of your
country.
