Some men are awful kickers,
They kick all blessed day;
Can you tell me the reason whys
They kick when they are busy,
And kick when they do pray.
Can you tell me the reason whys
1t is because they re sticksrs
And are Just built that way.
They II always be great kicksrs
Until they are laid away.
Do you know now the reason why!
The dude with little Doodle,
He puts on funny airs!
Can you tell me the reason whyF
He parts just like a poodle
His half dozen hairs
Can yon tell me the reason whys
1t is because he's minus
ANY sense at all
And thinks he can get along
With half an ounce of gall!
Don't you know the reason why!
There are lots Of you who never
Have dealt with HERMAN WISE.
Can you tell me the reason whyf
You keep on paying money,
Which you might save otherwise.
Can you tell me the reason whyi
All say he sells much cheaper
Than other stores in town.
He keeps the best assortment
And puts the prices down!
Do ysa new knew the reason Sbya

Army Investigation.

ST. LOUIS, October 1S.-The board
of inquiry which has been sitting at
Jefferson barracks army recruiting
station below this city for nearly three
weeks past, to ascertain if possible,
why there are so many assertions
from the army, has completed its la
bors. Over fifty witnesses, including
officers and men of all grades were ex-
amined, but there is a difference of
opinion as to whether the charges
made by Woodward, the recruit, re-
garding the treatment and food of the
men, upon which the inquiry was
based, have been fully substantiated.
The testimony taken makes over
three hundred pages of type written
matter and will be ready to forward
to Secretary of War Proctor tomor-
row. Col. Lawton will also make a
report on the sanitory condition OF the
barracks.

The Dancing Girls of Java.

A Paris correspondent, describing
the dancing girls of Java to be seen at
| the Exposition, says: 1.-THE perform
oers are four in number, 1.-the, delicate
girls of small stature, .bronzed COM
/ plexion and beautiful, almond-shaped
black eyes. Their features are dis
tinculy of the Mongolian type, less
pronounced in character than those of
the Chinese and Japanese, and one of
them, at least, is extremely pretty.
The most curious portion of their CO.'S
TUNES is their headdress. Two of
them wear old cOxcomb-shaped coiff-
ures in black fur, set in gold band,
and going across the head from ear to
ear, instead of from back to front.
The other two wear extremely pictur-
esque diadems ia gold filagree, with a
POINTED piece covering the back of the
head, and rounded side pieces with
holes to permit the passage of the
ears, these side plates being kept in
place by large ball earrings, also in
gold filigree. A long, loose skirt in
some figured material, close-fitting
bodices in dark silk webbing worked
with gold and silver and motLer-of-
pearl, and long scarfs in thin silk
|draped around the waist, complete
their attire. The dance, which, like
all the other Oriental dances, is not
dance at all according to European
IDEAS, consists of slow, gliding mo-
ton around the platform, the slender
hrms and dainty little brown hands
bf the performers playing the part
Usually assigned to the lower limbs of
dancer. They wrlthe, they wave,
they flutter, the slender fingers catch
up and unfold the ends of the long
Heating scarf, the supple waists curve
backward and twist and Irvine till
they actually seem in danger of dislo-
baton. The description may not
ound attractive, but the performance
s really charming, owing to the grace
md winning looks of the dancers.
Ahd 1t is perfectly modest, too, which
more than can be said ofmost of the
Eastern dances in the exhibition.

Stabbed His Wife in Court.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 1S.-Hen-
ry r. Smith, a junk dealer, yesterday
stabbed his wife in court. He had
threatened to kill her and fearing vi
olence she had procured a warrant for
his arrest. When he was brought into
court he tnrned to his wife with the
exclamation, "See what you have
brought us too" and sprang toward
her and grasped her by the throat
with one hand, while with the other
he plunged a knife into her neck,
within quarter of an inch of the Jug
ular vein. AS ne was about to strike
the second time, his arm was caught
by a justice and with the aid of several
persons he was disarmed, while the
woman fell fainting into the arms of
her friends. The injury may result
fatally. Smith afterwards tried to
kill himself, but was prevented from
doing so.

THE Galveston cotton fleet have eX-
perienced difficulty in getting out of
port. Four English steamers loaded
with cotton are tied up inside and the
Mallory liner, Colorado, was fast on
the bar from Tuesday until Wednes-
day night. Galveston has been con-
graduating herself that her Tightening
days were past, but she will find it
mighty convenient for few years to
come to do considerable other loading
outside the bar.

Jay Gould's Contracts.

FORT SCOTT, Kas., October 1S.-Jay
Gould, accompanied by s. H. H. Clary
and party, arrived here yesterday and
last night signed contracts with this
city to build three lines of railroad,
the Fort Scott and Belt Line, with
terminal facilities; Fort Scott and
Eastern, connecting at this point with
the Missouri Pacific at Upton, Mo-, a
distance of $50 miles, and the south
line to Mindon, Mo-, connecting with
main line at that point. This is
practically a consolidation of the
Gould Kansas system at this point,
and is considered one of GOuld's
strategic moves on the railroad check
erboard. Everything he wished was
conceded here aud in return he will
build an elegant depot, shops, etc.

SAN ANToNIo TEXAS, FRIDAY. OCTOBER Is. $50
ON SOUTH PRESA STREET.

What the Street Gang Are Doing,
Up to yesterday no survey OF the
Presa street road to the fair ground,
had been made, although pretense
of work had been made by a couple OF
road scrapers, pillow and hall dozen
workmen. This morning a little in
creased activity was observed, as five
scrapers were at work. This seems
simply playing with the case. There
should have been for the past week at
least 100 laborers at work on South
Presa road. If any real improve
ment is to be effected in that
thoroughfare a change must be
made. The distance to be graded,
gravelled and drained is not less than
one mile and a quarter and there are
only about two and a half weeks re-
naming. To think Of accomplishing
this work with two or three teams
and half dozen men is non
sensical. The rains of yesterday
have shown how horrible the
streets. even those supposed to
be gravelled become after a few
hours rain. South Alamo street this
morning was sea of mud and the
horses hoofs splashed mud over
everything within distance. The un-
gravelled streets are impossible after
a days rain and it was hoped that
some good pushing would be done III
South Presa street and put that thor.
oughfare in good rain and mud proof
condition. How not to do it seems tC
be an art in which this city is quite
proficient.

The AII-AmericaS.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, Oct. 49,
The All-Americas party had new
sensation this morning when, roll
ing up the sleeping berth curtains they
looked out. The depot platforms were
white with frost, the roofs of the cars
near by were glistening with it. The
track rails were coated with
white crystal and within the
train, window panes were soon
blurred with the condensing vapor.
Through hazy atmosphere the sun
was rising like a huge red ball,
sharply outlined. The air became
warm later however; and when the
party. left Morton House after break
fast, the day was genial while brac-
ing. At breakfast the delegates for
the first time on their: trip were
served by tidy, healthy faced girls.
The forenoon was spent in viewing
the furniture shops of the city and
the public buildings.

The Washington correspondents are
awfully afraid of giving away the soft
snap they claim to have in the way of
tips on pension commissioner appoint
ment. The president may know
whom he intends to appoint, but at
present he has not made that knowl-
edge public, and the conjectures on
the subject are merely guess work.

wreaths of fern, were placed everywhere,
for it was one of the most torrid days of

1t was miniature waterfall. below which

Along the banisters at close intervals
were large bouquets OF white roses, white
pinks and other white flowers, tied with
large bows, and ends of white watered silk
ribbons. The reception room doors we're
arched with white flowers and ferns. Gar
lands of the same were festOoned around
the walls; in the tireplaces were blocks of
ice, surrounded with small palms and white
geraniums. The manJel pieces were cano-
pies of white flowers, gardenias and ste
paanotis being most prominent among
them.
In the center of the room was a huge bell.

was long buffet at one end Of the room,
and small tables dotted about Over the
sideboard was a banner of white Liberty
silk, on which was written in rosebuds the
names of the contracting parties and the
date, with just the words, Till death do
US part"
The buffet. which was a long dining table,
had, of course, the wedding cake in the
center; it was of three tiers, and covered
with centrifugal sugar over the icing and
decorated with natural flowers. There were
also some wonderful emblematic figures
which space will not allow me to describe
here. The floral decorations were of both
kinds, fiat and raised. The fiat floral deco
rations represented cupid's bows and arrows
made with small white roses aud feathery
grasses. Silver baskets in the shape of the
wooden baskets carried by children. at the
seaside, held white iris, white roses, glox-
inias, sprays of myrtle and orange blossoms.
The smaller tables had sprays of white rose
garlands Of the Louis XIV period laid on
them, and over the dining-r room door was
gigantic floral horseshoe made of white
flowers and maidenhair fern.
