THE Pittsburg Gazette doubts that
wonderful change in the future of the
Texas hog which is being advocated
by the intelligent press of the state.
1t comments as follows:
"Did you ever hear the like of hog
and hominy talk? Ifthere is any vir-
tue in printers ink the state of Texas
will hardly hold tho hog crop next
year."
Hog and hominy have been married
in the great temple of productive
economy, because there was a natural
affinity between them. The parties
were agreed and what is thus joined
together it would be folly to attempt
to divorce. Hog with one "g'' and
hominy will do more for Texas than
the "H" ever did for a London cock
rey.

The CZarina of Russia.

The Czarina of Russia, the wife of Alexander
ILL., is the sister of the Princess of Wales, and the
daughter of Christian TX. of Denmark. She was
married to Alexander in 1866 at st. Petersburg,
and became Czarina at the time he was crowned,
at the death of his father, Alexander II. Her
Danish title was Princess Dagmar. She brought
into prominence just now on account of her eff
forts in bringing about peace between England
and Russia
Unlike all traditions, which attribute wars and
rumors of wars to woIan's influence, from Helen
of Troy, who upset all the calculations of old
Priam, and called both men and gods to war for
her sweet sake, down to the present ex-Empress
Eugene, whom rumor has it lent her influence and
her voice in favor of that fatal step taken by Ma
poeon LII, which led 10 war with Germany, to
Sedan, to the overthroi of monarchy in France, to
death for Napoleon, exile for Eugenie the birth of
new Republic and Bartholdi's Statue for
New York's harbor; unlike these, the Czarina's
name will go down to history, from pulpit and
from rostrum, in the history of her nation and the
hearts of mankind as ''the Czarna of Peace"
who lulled to rest the Russian bear, and disturbed
not the slumbers of the British lion.

MEM vOPK,o ehlR SCHEME

NEW YORK, August 20.-Eighteen of the
twenty-five fnanciers selected by Mayor
Grant to constitute the finance committee
of the projected worlds fair of 1892 were
present this afternoon at the initial meet
ing of the committee in the mayors Of
flee. Many millions of money were repre-
sented in the gathering, and the unanim-
ity of feeling was marked. Following is a
list of members who attended: Jesse Sc

S. ID. Babcock, CALVIN It. Brice, William

then appointed by the chairman, their
names being as follows: Messrs. j. Pierre

to the amount mentioned which stock
would command 2 per cent interest and be
guaranteed by the city of New York, In
his plan Mr.. Seligman considered the
question of how the city should be reim-
bursed. On this point he said the city
would ultimately become the owner OF all
the buildings erected. He placed the
figures Of what would be obtained from
exhibitors at s1,500000 and rents
at Sl.5O0,O00. This s9,000,000 should
be devoted to the purchase of
stock at per cent above par which would
leave Sc, 500, 600 outstanding when the fair
had been lnaugurated. He placed the
monthly income from commissions at
S500, coo. which he regards as a low cacula-
ton. This could be devoted to payment
of per cent dividend and what remains
would be devoted to reducing the second
instsllment of stock at ITO. In twenty
years all the stock would have been re-
tired. Mr.. Seligman asked that his plan
be simply read for consideration, and it
was so ordered.
This plan with the others submitted and
TO be received will be presented to the ex-
ecutive committee, who will be asked to
select the most feasible and worthy of
consideration and present them in PAM
phlet form. These pamphlets will be dis
tributed among members of the whole
committee for subsequent action.

man of good character, but no arrest was
made as the great majority of the people
believed him innocent Three weeks after
the burglary King married woman IF

suicide by taking poison. w hlie his
friends We're trying TO save him he told
them that it was true that he was guilty
of the burglary and the fact was known
only 10 one other person-the woman he
married. She secured proof of his guilt
before the marriage and calling him up
showed her proof and told him that she
would give him his choice of marrying her
or going TO the penitentisry. He pleaded
III vain that he was "too young to marry
vet" and that she was old enough
10 be his mother, the woman knew the val

NARROW ESCAPE.FROM FIRE.

TECUMsEH. Ont, August 2O.-Last night
fire broke out in Rector Robinet's house.
Rector Robinet was awakened by the
smell of fire and smoke and cropping to the
kitchen opened the door. A sheet of fame
blew in burning his face. He went to the
rescue of his family. BY this time a crowd
had gathered and We're Mortified to see
Robinet open one Of the windows in the
second story and throw his children out on
the ground. Fortunately there were per-
sons there to catch them and they escaped
injury. Some of the crowd rushed in the
building and dragged out Mrs. Robinet,
who was unconscious. Mrs. Rob
inet's fatherin-law was also
badly burned. The flames next
sprang upon wine house and carriage
shop near by. There wass crythat there
was keg Of powder in the former. AL
most Immediately there was terrific ex-
plosion and the building was blown to
pieces, scattering the brick and mortar for
a long distance. The property loss will be
about ISL, 900. Robnet says he does not
know what started the fire and that he
was crazy when he threw the children

ELOEPD WITH A PRIEST.

CHICAGO, August 2O.-The wife of Mill
ionaire Mike Mcdonald, ex-Rambler and
politician, is missing. The circumstances
are most extraordinary. Mrs. Mcdonald
disappeared from her home on the corner
of Ashland boulevard and Harrison street
a week ago last Friday, and though
small army of detectives have been re-
tanned to discover her whereabouts they
have succeeded only in obtaining her dia-
monds, pawned or sold somewhere in the
east. 1t is supposed that Mrs. Mcdonald
is now in Europe. 1t is reported this even
ing that she had a companion, Catholic
priest, who, it is alleged, has since been
uufrocked by the church. The pastor is
supposed to have had parish at South
Chicago or some suburb in that locality.
The story is that Mrs. Mcdonald became
acquainted with the priest while he was
on visit to st. Jarlath's parish. Of which
she was a member He became infatuated
with her: the admiration was reciprocated
and an elopement planned and executed.
On the momentous Friday evening Hugh
Mullaney, McDonald's coachman, took
Mrs. Mcdonald from the house in car
riage. He said nothing about the matter
for week. though he was aware Of the
search. Then be told Mr.. Mcdonald, say
ing he had promised Mrs. Mcdonald to
keep the secret for week.

THE TEXAS TROUBLE SETTLED.

THE TEXAS TROUBLE SETTLED.
RICHMOND, Tex, August Ex-Governor
Ross and Attorney General Harrison left
here tonight for Austin. They regard the
trouble as now settled by the Woodpeckers,
in whose ranks were the county officers,
yielding their choice for sheriff and ac-
cepting as second choice that OF the Jay
birds, Sergeant Ira Aten, of the Rangers.
His bond was made by the Jaybirds and is
good for 81, OOO, 900, though $40, 900 is the re-
quired amount. The Jaybirds could make
the bond but not the appointment. The
new sheriff has taken charge Of the Gibson
boys and will hold them until the pre-
iiminary trial fixed for next Mon
day takes place. They are
charged with assault with intent
to murder, being in fight with Parker
and Wade Robinson Oh Friday. Both
have been sheriffs and fine officers. The
people now have confidence in the admin
istration being able to keep peace and Or
der. The county judge will resign his po-
sition in a few days and leave the county.
Other prominent Woodpeckers will do the
same thing, and claim they do it for the
safety of the city. One county officer will
resign tomorrow and break quorum: All
the wounded men were doing well and two
will leave here as soon as they are able.
The light guards left and the state rangers
took possession Of the court house.
