SAN ANroNIo TEXAS THURSDAY AUGUST 22, 1882
SHOT GUN SIESIA.

The dispatches from Fort Bend
ed after the announcement made from
! the hotel balcony by the governor of
the state, that he was wholly in SYM
pathy with those who had killed the
sheriff. 1t is now wired from Rich
mond that those who at last election
were put in office by incOntestible
votes, have surrendered their offices
and are fugitives from the state, flee
ing for their lives, while their fellow
officials are sent to eternity in
the discharge of their duties, and
the murderers are openly sympa-
thised with by the chief executive
of the state. 1t seems incredible
that such things should be. The
LIGHT has been most unwilling to
believe these things. 1t has hoped
better things from the heads of the
state administration. The murdered
sheriff and his deputies find the Off
ces to which they were elected with
out controversy, and from which they
were suddenly removed by associa-
top, given to the party at where
instigatiOn they were murder
ed in cold blood, and
this condition of affairs is sanctioned
by the highest officer in the state. If
not so, Governor Ross has been foully
misrepresented III his address before
the citizens of Richmond, and yet the
LIGHT has waited days tor some dis
avowal of the language reported and
none has been forthcoming. The
sheriff. is murdered, hundreds Of citi-
zens have fled for their lives, the gam
bier who bit the dust at the hands of
the sheriff is given funeral parade,
joined In by the chief executive,
while the officer of the law, him
self one of the grandest men and
the truest that Fort Bend county ever
produced, is buried in silence his
friends not daring to appear at his
funeral. The county judge resigns
and all the county officers are COM
PEELED to surrender their offices or
their lives, and this is considered
righteous by the chief magnitude of
the state. Righteous, because the
murderers were the regular democra-
cy, moth Notwithstanding they favored as
sassination, and the murdered were
the irregular democracy favoring
obedience to law and order
No bIacker page in the annals of
Texas was ever written. 1t is deed
at which future generations will
stand aghast and for which the apollo
gist of the future will rack his brains
in vain to find the semblance of an
excuse. The time will come when
the deem damnatiOn of Garvey's muir
der will be accepted as an act of hell
ish cruelty without palliation and
without possibility of mitigation.

Saratoga Gamblers Arrested.

SARATOGA, y. V, August 22.-It
begins to look as though the Sarato-

raids were made yesterday on Me-
Cormick & Welch's, Charley Mohon's
and Mitchells places. The arrested
persons waived examination and gave
bail of $500 each to appear before the
grand jury. 1t is definitely avowed
that every place that does not close
voluntarily, will be proceeded against
by due process.

Singing for Lung Diseases.

At the present era, when physical ctll-
ture is part of the curriculum of our
most intellectual schools, and is so gener-
ward supplying and maintaining the
sound body for the sound mind, it is
worth while to consider recent state
ment of eminent physicians that the mere
exercise of singing is a great help toward
the prevention, cure or alienation of lung
diseases 10 Is even said to be powerful
aid to a cure. It is, indeed, somewhat
curious that the medical fraternity have
not exploited the theory of lung exercises
by singing more fully heretofore than
they are now doing, for the action of
calisthenics in developing the chest and
of gymnastics in strengthening muscular
tissues have for years been auniversal
practice, although as matter of fact the
mere physical exercise Of singing brings
into play an extraordinary number of
muscles that can hardly be suspected of
action in connection with the throat ex-
pansion. 1t was disclosed by statistics
in Italy some years ago that vocal artists
were usually long lived and healthy, and
that brass instrument players, who bring
their lungs and chest into unusual ac-
tivity, have not had consumptive vic
tim among them. No matter how thin
or weak the voice, children or young
people should be encouraged to indulge
in song. There can be no happier medi-
cine, and if hearers sometime suffer, they
should be encouraged and strengthened
to bear the infiction in view of the good
it may occasion. New York Tribune.

sparingly Troublesome diseases of the
skin often are the result of too great use
of the combs.
VALUABLE HINTS.
Keep children's hair, especially boys,
closely cut With girls, after the hair
has been allowed to grow long, it is
better not to cut it, for good authority
says that the hair never afterward grows
to the length it would otherwise have at
tanned.
"Crimping' the hair over hot irons or
pencils soon causes Ito break. This is
not of so much Importance with young
girls, as the hair will grow again; but in
the case of older women, whose hair is
beginning to thin, it only hastens the
fall of what remains, and causes badness
of the forehead and temples.
Tie use Of soap, where bandoline does
not prove sufficient to preserve the de-
sired shape of the crimps is injurious
If it must be used, however, get the very
best white CASTLE soap, as it contains less
alkai than others
Dyeing the hair whatever may be the
inducements, is ever an unsatisfactory
procedure One cannot conceal the raw
ages Of time so easily, and no one is in
reality deceived 1t is certainly loss
of dignity, for every one smiles at the
thought of would be youthful people
whom one sees with the complexion of
peach melting into ''crows' feet at the
corners of the eyes, and through whose
raven locks can be seen play of iride-
scent coloring. Apart from all this, these
dyes are very injurious, often affecting
the eyesight.
A little ammonia or tincture Of can
tharides acts as a mild stimulant. Rub
bing the scalp with a raw onion is oain
to be beneficial, with afterwards a touch
of honey put on, but from forty to fifty
strokes night and morning with the brush
is best of all This will also develop the
arm muscles.
Dress the hair in whatever style suits
you best without following fashions be-
hest. Do not comb it up to the top of the
head so that you almost take the roots
along. Boston Globe.

HIS Way OF ELEcT1oNEER1Ne.


The Ariel of Feb. z, 1929. contains the
following: "The Hon. David Crockett,
member of congress from Tennessee, who
has been made the hero of a most laugh
able story by waggish Kentucky editor,
has taken that matter so seriously to
heart as to publish certificates of his con-
duct on the occasion alluded to. Mr.
Clark, of Kentucky, and Mr.. Verplank,
New York, have both certified that his
conduct at the presidents house was
marked with the strictest propriety.'"
We are told that Mr.. Crockett is SEN
sible man, but suppose that it is true that
he has something of the "half horse, hal
alligator" in his manners The Middle
sex Gazette, noticing him in the follow
ing manner, gives something betwixt
caricature and true picture of Mr..
Crockett and large portion of his con
stituents:
''In some of the western states great
muscular force is an indispensable re-
quisite in successful candidate for pub
lie favor. This Mr.. Crockett--or, as he
is familiarly termed, Davy possessed in
an extraordinary degree; and, while his
competitor was telling the people of his
great merits, Davy was giving practical
evidence of his by grubbing up a stul up
which two ordinary men would have
abandoned in despair. This striking de-
monstration of statesmanlike qualities
was irresistible to the yeomanry of Ten

Davy is the man who proposed to whip

ing of lion, parcel of monkeys and
zebra. On a certain occasion he said he
intended to speak in the house of repre-
sentatives, for he saw no reason of being
difident, as he could fog any man in it. .
The fact that Davy produced evidence
in refutation of the charges made against
him by the ''good Mr.. K, of Ohio" does
not detract from the interest of the story,

The Natives of serapit.

The population of Serapit turned out
to see us. The women we're strange
contrast to the men in appearance.
While the latter were as lean as whip
ping posts and uglier than most monkeys,
the former-at least those under 20 or
so-were plump, solidly built, full bos-
omed creatures, and there were at least
half dozen in the crowd before us who

munity, the women especially, almost
pass my powers of description to give an
idea of their weird ugliness. K. tersely
summed them up as ''baked monkey"
but monkey would at least have had a
covering of hair, whereas these dreadful
persons had nothing but their very
scanty clothing to conceal any part of
the leathery integument that was so
tightly shrunken over their skeleton
bodies, and looked SO hard and dry that
you expected to hear it crackle when
they moved. Their faces seemed to con-
sist solely of skin drawn over a skull
without a particle of flesh and looked
precisely as if some one had tried to
make a mask out of old leather, and
LdllluS
and stamped on it. Yet they seemed
neither decrepit nor idiotic. The men
carried their complement of arms; one
old fellow had girded on the longest
and crookedest sword there. He looked
like Death with his scythe. A woman,
who resembled one of the dried mum
mics Of blacks found in North Queens
land terminated, was pounding paddy
in wooden mortar, so concluded that
appearances were deceptive and that
they were not nearly so old as they
looked. Indeed. the Malayan races are
not long lived and really old people are
very scarce-such an Instance as the
late Sultan of Brunei, who lived to
nearly 100, being almost unheard of.
