that they would all hurrah for him after he
had whipped Sullivan, as he proposed to do.
Other members of the party denied the
drinking story, except that on the assur-
ance OF DR.. wainwright that it would do him
good, Kilrain did drink glass of beer. The
party was much troubled this morning by
the appearance in the car of somewhat
well-known Ohio detective. The notion
seized them that he was going to ride with
them to Mississippi. and there make an ar

questioned HIM and found him pretending

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT,
WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY. 10, 1889.
A HORRlD'S MARES NEST.

The Austin correspondent of the
Houston Post wired that journal on
last Saturday concerning the session
of the state republican committee at
the capital. The imagination of the
correspondent and his consciousness
of democratic sins committed con-
spired to inspire the following:
at is understood on the outside that
the republican executive committee
today in secret session drew up
memorial to President Harrison but it
was refused TO the reporters. There
is much onjecture as to the nature of
this document. Some say it is Of such
a nature that the signers would find q
hornets nest about their ears were it
published. Some think it contains &C
cusations against the people of the
State.N
The Houston Post is needlessly in
agony over the situation. Therepub-
lican state executive committee might
very properly have memorialized
General Harrison concerning the sup
preston of votes in Washington and
Fort Bend counties. Judge Burk-
hart, who was present in the city,
could have made some very interest
ing affidavits concerning that matter.
He could also have shown how dur
ing the last election two hundred ne
g1oes marched up to the polls in q
single precinct and voted the straight
democratic ticket, % their only Sc
curity against mOlestatiOn, abuse and
perhaps murder. The testimony of
others from Richmond and from
Brennan might very properly have
been taken, showing how ballot boxes
are stuffed or stolen, votes thrown
out, cOlOred voters inundated and
driven from home for voting republic
can tickets. The republican commit
tee at its Austin session might have
done this thing with eminent pro-
priety but it did not. 1t confined
itself to memorializing the presi-
dent as to the necessity of
good nominations to federal office
in Texas, and the necessity of
seeing that mugwumps did not usurp
the places that only loyal repu blicans
were entitled to-. 1t is safe to say that
no democratic state committee that
ever assembled in any state on such
an occasion and for such a purpose
was half as moderate in its express
sions or half as conservative in its &C.
tiOns. The ears OF the dispatcher OF
the paragraph sent to the Post are al
ready too large to need any increase
by the application of a swarm of hor.
nets. The democratic reporters who
were refused a copy of the memorial
had no claims u on an executive ses.
sion of the committee. Neither silence
nor secrecy was enjOined. Outsiders
were excluded because the committee
was not inclined TO hold a session
with open doors on account of mum
bers that would crowd into the room
and retard the work of the commit
tee.

fession, and so, though surgery would

Automatic Turnstile.

The principle of the automatic boxes,
which form such prominent objects at
our railway stations, has been applied to
doors and turnstiles. A coin of the
proper value must be dropped into a
slot before the door can be opened, aud
thus the services OLA money-taker are
dispensed with. Such doors are apple
able to the entrances Of exhibitions AMI
places of amusement.
Their special use. however, is for law
atories and the like. For such cases it
is necessary to insure that the doors
shall always be closed after person has
passed out through them, and that they
cannot he again opened except by the
proper coin. 10 this end, folding doors,
meeting at the middle, are employed.
TO the inside of each door, and ut right
angles to it, there is fixed cato.
When the doors are open the two
gates close the passage, and when the
gates are open the doors are closed. Z
person wishing to enter an unoccupied
apartment finds the doors open and the
gates closed. He drops his penny into
the slot and then pushes open the gates,
tho doors closing behind him. When
he emerges he opens the doors, and at
the same time the gates close behind
him. Thus the entrance is always
barred. --B0St0n CuJticGt17.

Romance Of a Racellorse.

The career of the celebrated thorough
bred stallion Billet, who died in Ken
lucky recently, is full OF romance, and
in its way quite as much matter for
the nove!ist's pen rs that of the far
famed Godolphin Arabian.
Billet ran rs twO-yearold about nine
teen times in England, and won very
few of his races. AS three-year- he
was thought fit only for hurdle racing,
and for that purpose was given to q
young sporting man who at the present
moment is earning a precarious living
in New York as horse dealer. Break
ing down on the eve of big race, Billet
was thought to be fit only for the sham
bles or whatever he might bring in the
Liverpool docks. Purchased there for a
song, he was brought to America and
was actually hawked about the streets
looking for purchaser. BY some stroke
of destiny he fell into the hands of q
Western breeder, and first attracted at
tention as the sire of Volturno, q noted
long distance performer about ten years
ago.
Messrs. Bowen, Clay and Woodford,
of Paris, Ky, were just then looking for
q stallion to put at the head of their Run
nymede. They purchased Billet for s5,-
600, 900, and though the mares at this
stud were young and unknown, their
produces to Billet at once began to win
many of the two-year stakes. Miss
Woodford's career in 1888, when she was
a three-year-oId, supplemented by her
unbeaten career in 1884, established
Billet as one of the leading sires of the
country. Elias Laurence, Barnes, Sir
Dixon, Raceland, Belvidere. The Lion
ess and others have earned great fame
for their sire, once thought worthless.

Carp Culture a Success.

The experiment made some five or six
years ago growing German carp as a
food fish in American waters has turned
ont a great success and the cultivation of
that fish has taken its place among the
fish industries of the country. In the
vicinity of this city and along the coast
front where there are SO many fine fish
to obtain, the carp will never be sought
for to any great extent, but to inland
cities and the Western country it is n
boon.
Its flesh is excell mt though not as
sweet and fine grained as that of some
of the native salt and fresh water fish.
1t Will live in sluggish water and in
pounds where nothing but catfish and
frogs are found. 1t is prolific and
rapid grower. In Texas in five years
time carp grew to weigh 10 pounds,
and i'll ponds in this section stocked four
and five years ago carp weighing from
four to seven pounds are now being
taken. The fish is homely to look at
and is sluggish i'll its movements.
In the Western ponds and lakes aud
such rivers as the Missouri and Missis-
sippi, they will increase rapidly and in
a short time prove staple fish product.
AS q game fish the carp is at the lower
end of the list. t.---Ne,o York. Times.

to remove it. Two operations were
necessary, with long interval between
them. The surgeon and his chief as

popular report, ranged from $40, 900 to

How Window Smashers Work.

Breaking store windows for the pur-
pose of robbery has been reduced to a
system of which few people are aware.
1t is q bold piece of work, and requires
a man of nerve. The old method was
to smear molasses or wax on the window
pane, cover it with paper and force in
the glass The sticking material pre-
vented the pieces from falling and
making a noise. The large plate glass
windows now in use necessitate another
mode of breaking. The sharp end of
three-cornered file is inserted between
the woodwork and the lower end of the
pane, and a quick turn of the file splits
the glass. The broken piece is quickly
pried out without much noise. Some
window smashers carry an iron plate
having handle like IL shield on one side
and a sharp, projecting iron rod on the
other. This is pushed against the win
dow, breaks in the glass, and leaves an
opening large enough to secure good
grip at the contents exposed for show

A Cloth ImperyiOus to Moisture.

Among the various textile products of
Irish manufacturing skill, the most ex-
tenslvely known, says the New York
! CLothier, is the Justly celebrated Irish
frieZe. Its manufacture has come down
from time immemorial. The process
since it was first woven on the primitive
hand loom, and the subsequent manipu-
lation to prepare it for the only garment
for which it is prominently suited, the
cotha more (big coat, or overcoat), has
been handed down from one generation
of the Irish people to another, until, at
the present day, the rapidly increasing
steam power looms of the Irish mills are
engaged in manufacturing friezes which
are making their way by sheer force of
real merit in the best markets of the
world.
The chief features which distinguish
frieze from all other cloth is its absolute
imperviousness to rain, and its extraor-
dinary durability. In these it resem-
bles the famous blankets of the Navajo
Indians. OF course we are now speak.
ing of real Irish frieze, not the counter
felt article, which is now quite plentiful
in American markets. These points of
excellence are secured through the pc
culiar method of manufacturing the
longest and best wool, selected from the
best Irish heeees, without which there
can be no genuine Irish -frieze- The
process in itself is quite simple, but
tedious, demanding much time, care
and attention.
Nothing but washed wool of the
longest and strongest fiber is used.
This is first dyed, and afterwarl, when
spun, is doubled so as to resemble yarn;
i'll fact, it is softly spun woolen yarn,
which has not been treated by acids in
any manner, so that the whole natural
strength of the wool fiber remains unim-
paired. This yarn is then woven, after
which it is put through the thickening
or tucking process, as it is termed. This
latter is. practically q somewhat pro-
longed washing or sousing of the cloth
in carefully prepared solution, slowly
heated up to the boiling point, and then
slowly cooled again. This shrinlls and
consequently thickens the fabric which
comes from the loom to such an extent
that it becomes almost impossible, after
cutting the goods, to separate one
thread of the cloth from the other, so
closely are they allied and so interde-
pendent on each other.
The final operation is the dressing and
finishing of the goods. From this brief
explanation it will be perceived in what
the chief points of the excellence of
Irish frieze consist. Dyed in the wool,
the color is permanent-untreat by
acid, the natural virility of the wool
fiber is preserved.
