WEST END SOCIETY.
Brilliant Reception Last Night by
Miss Annie Archer.

There have been many elegant and
brilliant entertainments given by the
society people of Austin this season, but
there have been few if any which can
compare to the "at home" given by Miss
Archer at her fathers residence last even
ing. Entering the hall door a scene that
was much like fairy land was presented to
the gaze. On every hand the walls were
decorated with evergreens and flowers,
while festoons of roses swung gracefully
from chandelier to chandelier. Meath
this arbor of natures sweetness
moved the large crowd which
had gathered to do homage to their charm
ing hostess. There was an assemblage of
youth and beauty to greet the visitors,
and in their midst stood the fair enter
tainer, the observed of all those present
and the constant source of admiration.
There were large number of invitations
issued, and judging from the immense
crowd present and the constantly chang
ing faces, there were few, if any, who did
not respond both in spirit and person.
Immediately after the reception, which
was from to O'Clock, the drawing rooms
were cleared, and many of the guests who
had called in the evening returning. The
german was danced till tired nature called
halt, and the guests departed carrying
with them many. pleasant remembrances
of the entertainment.
Below is given the list of the ladies re-
ceiving and their costumes as near as
could be obtained:
Miss Annie Archer-Blue silk, en- traine,
trimmed in pearl passamentrie; piarl
ornaments and natural flowers.
Miss Maggie Howard-Cream silk, en-
traine; pearl ornaments, natural flowers.
Miss Fannie Edwards-White Henrietta,
dancing length; diamond ornaments.
Miss Helen Grant-White cashmere,
dancing length; diamond ornaments.
Miss Julia Cuney-White cashmere,
dancing length, lace overdress; diamond
ornaments.
Miss Florine Ross-Pink velvet, dane
ing length, blue silk trimmings; diamond
ornaments.
Miss Bette Kopperl-Peacock- green
velvet, pink silk front; pearl ornaments.
Miss Fanny Kopperl-Blue plush, en-
traine; diamond ornaments, natural flow
ers.
Miss Tullie Folts-Cream silk, dancing
length, Fedora lace trimmings; diamonds.
Mrs. Archer-Black silk, passamentrie,
ornaments, diamonds
Mrs. Evans-Black silk; jet passamen-
trie.
The following young folks saw that
everything went right, aud nothing turned
up amiss: Misses May Anderson, Maggie
Myrick, Ida Archer; and Masters Willie
Howard, Raymond johnson and Robert
Maxey.

be done more than to accept without ques-
ton, the Standardization inconsistent
guesses-given in these reports. Correct
statistics are essential to the correct in
formation on which sound legislation
must be based. To get this information a
vast mass of correspondence originating
in the office is necessary, but little of the
kind is possible with the present force. A
stenographic clerk and statistical book
keeper are imperatively needed, in addi.
ton to the present chief clerk and the
blank clerk. 1t is physical impossibility
to develop properly the work of this de-

working force.

pie sets a Good Example.

pie sets a Good Example.
The citizens of Temple, Williamson
county, have organized an Arbor associa-
ton, and will celebrate the 22d of this
month, Washington's birthday, by setting
out trees and evergreens.
Committees consisting of ladies and
gentlemen have been appointed, and every
arrangement is being made to make the
day most pleasant one.
The city schools of Temple will take
part in the celebration, and the business
houses, church societies, andladies and gen.
tlemen have been asked to donate ever
green's and trees. A circular issued by
the association says:
"On February % these boxes of ever
greens will be set out in the park, prefer
ably along the fence as the beginning of q
hedge, or elsewhere, if the donor desires.
Each donor is expected to water and care
for his tree during the dry summer, and to
see that it excels the others in growth and
beauty. A register will be found in the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation containing a complete list of the
trees and the giyer's name.
To become a member of the "Arbor
association" it is necessary to plant tree
during the fall or winter, up to Febru-
airy % of each year. All members, and
those desiring to become such, will please
Immediately confer with the secretary of
the association, giving number of trees
planted, variety, size, date, etc. This list
will be read out at the celebration on
February 81. A carriage will take a com
mittee of school children through the city
on February 81, and each young tree
this years plaut1ng-will BIZ girdled with
a red ribbon. Look we'll to it that they
are not forced to pass by your home.
Throughout the length and breadth of
the state has gone forth the report that
Temple has taken the initiative in Arbor
day. See to it that we make this notable
event aud the starter of lasting benefits"
Austin and other cities and towns should
profit b. the effort of progressive Tenn
pie.

Passed Away.

Mr.. Henry Marsh, recently from Oil
City, Penn, and an operator in the West
ern Union Office here, died night before
asst at 10 O'Clock in the City hospital and
was buried yesterday. Mr.. Marsh had that
dread disease, consumption, and came
south hoping to benefit his health. He
worked in the telegraph office here and
was skilled operator and quiet, cour-
teous gentleman whom all respected. Mr.
Will s. Pillow and other telegraph opera
tors and friends attended to his burial, at
which Doctor Edward B. Wright officiated.
His papers were taken charge of by Mr..
Wills Pillow and will be forwarded to
his brother, who lives in Baltimore. From
his papers, it seems Mr.. Marsh was a
member of Local Assembly No. 1918
Knights of Labor of Oil City, Penn.

White Caps.

Mr.. Frank M. Kahn was in the DUN ps
yesterday, and glared suspiciously al
everybody. He had received card
signed "White Caps No. TO-" which con.
tanned the refreshing information that he
must shake the dust off his feet and "xit
up and git" from Austin. The notice read
as follows:
WHITE CAPs No TO-
You are hereby given twenty-four hours Il
leave town, and make time, on account Of you
disturbing the peace by curslng too loud.
Signed WHITE CAPS No. 10.
Take warning.
Ornsmenting the top of the note was q
deaths head and we'll executed drawings
of sixshooter, bowieknife, gun, dagger
and cat o. rinetails. OF course the above
must be joke, as Mr.. Kahn never swears
except when soda water cork happens to
accidently fly out and hit him in the eye
and then he goes out in the quiet of the
stable lot and relieves himself by low but
artistic cusses.

THE MINSTRELS.
How the Old Time Burnt Cork
Shows Made Fun.

Shows Made Fun.
The modern ministries and their per-
formances are no more like the ministrels
and their performances in the palmy days
of George Christi, Campbell and others
than is the sun like the moon.
In the days of Christi and ootemporane-
GUS burnt cork celebrities their great effort
was to give perfect delineation of negro
character with all of its eccentric comioal
absurdities as witnessed on the great plan
! tations IN the south. There were negroes
on the plantations whose natural looks
and movements AMI language and every
thing were comical and mirth provoking.
Thousands of negroes all over the south
had magnificent voices and they were apt
musicians and their sentimental and i'm
promptu comic songs and music were
the delight of theplantations.
Christi and other Ministries of his day
endeavored to reproduce on the stage a
true, life-like representation of negro
character and comicalities as seen in the
south, and marvelou4Iy well did they sue
coed, and made themselves worldwide
famous.
George Christi's visit to a large hotel
with his master, and the coon hunt, were
true to life, and probably nothing has
ever appeared on the stage which pro-
voked as much merriment and hearty
laughter. The 'possum hunt and corn
shocking scenes, by the Gam pbells, were
immense successes, and nowhere we're
they mere enjoyed than in the south.
Everything about the Ministries befokened
the simple negro character. the dress,
the dance, the music, the jokes and witty
| repartees were all genuine negro. Moth
ing was said or done that remotely bor-
dered upon the vulgar, and the
writer has seen Christi's Ministries give
their second performance, by request, in
one of the largest churches in southern
town, the town hall icing too small to
accommodate the audience.
But all is changed now. No more
simple negro sentimental and comic melo.
dies rendered in superb voices. No more
Innocent but genuine rich, racy, merry
jokes, and laughter provoking situations
No anything depicting the true. negro
absurdities, as witnessed In every day life
on the plantations. Now there is pro
fusion of wind instruments, disccrdant
drums, clanking cymbals and gorgeous
and to the negro unheard of, costumes
The jokes are worm-eaten chestnuts, and
too often border upon the vulgar. In
short, the modern negro minstrel show il
a negro minstrel show in name only, and
is not worth turning around on ones heel
to see. People who go to them expecting
to hear negro melodies and see negro
character delineated are invariably dissp
pointed.

as to bring them more fully within the
purview of the Constitution.
Mr.. Kincaid offered an amendment in
the nature of substitute for the whole
bill and made an able speech in its favor,
1t fixes state rates as fixed by the inter
state commission not to exceed twenty
five cents and forbids pooling under very
heavy penalties.
Mr.. Mays, the colored member of
Brazoria, spoke in forcible terms against
the bill and substitute, arguing that his
people wanted the control of the railroads
to remain as now provided in the legis-
lature.
Mr.. Strong moved to table the sub,
stitute, and Mr.. Brown, of Grayson, to
adjourn, which motion prevailed and the
house adjourned till 10 O'Clock to-day.

"And Well ALI Take a Ride"

"We'll Wait for the Wagon" is an old
song familiar to everyone, but the man
ner of its origin is perhaps not 80 we'll
known. Deep research has elicited the
fact that it originated with the family of a
western farmer, one who had tried several
wagons, but found none to suit his wants
until he saw the great and only Milburn,
While he was awaiting its arrival his
family composed the song, and it, like the
Milburn, lasts forever. The Milburn
knows no rival, and when the song was
first sang, and as it is still sung, it was
rendered well Wait for THE Wagon"
with the accent on the "The." For further

Editor Bulletin:-The following dis
patch has just reached me. The dispatch
