Richard Coke Again Hon ored /.
Austin Statesman.

Austin statesman.
Rare indeed is it for q man to be
honored as was Senator Coke yester.
day. 1t is in the nature Of things that
public official though many years in
the eye Of tho people, shall make many
enemies personal and upon broad and
general propositions. Senator Coke
as governor, and for the past twelve
years as United States senator, has had
his full opportunity to make mistakes
on great public issues or upon local
measures-he has had his day among
personal ambitions and wants land
that he should yesterday have been
reelected to another term Of Office by a
perfectly unanimous vote Of tie legis-
lature is . compliment stronger than
can be couched in words. Every men,
Der present in the house and senate
voted for Richard Coke. In the two
branches there were seven absentees-
but the other 100 responded Richard
Coke when their names were called
for an expression of their choice of .
man ct to gil the high Office so long
with dignity sustained by this same
Richard Coke. Yesterday, as he heard
the news in Washington, should have
been the proudest day Of his life. Such
compliment and expression Of implicit
trust should Gil his cup to overlooking
with renewed resolves in his states
interest for all years to come and par
ticulary for the new term of Office upon
which he is now to enter.

Hamlet and Lady OF Lyons.

1t is . singular fact that Hamlet,
one Of the most silly plays in the
world, is one Of the favoritss Of the
world but it is SO, and 80 jealous Is
the theatrical world Of its idelized
play that it is considered presumption
on the part Of any but an acknowledge
ed master to take part Of Hamlet.
Creston Clarke had to play against
this prejudice last night, but in de-
spite Of that he succeeded in winning
the good opinions Of his audience in .
very gratifying way. The company is
very strong one and the play was
we'll executed. This afternoon matt.
nee the Lady Of Lyons and tonight .
Fools Revenge, will give good scope
for an excellent company in two excel
lent plays. II is our opinion that Cres-
ton Clarke and his company will give
Foo's Revenge ot-night . better
rendition than it has ever received in
Waco.

SEVERAL large ponds owned by j. r.
Naftzger, just east of Wooster, Ohio
were stocked with German carp of the
leather variety, the designation 'leather
carp" being applied to those having few
scales and having a skin similar to that
Of a catfish or grass pike. In some
manner large numbers Of smokers, sun
fish and clubs got into the Matt ger
ponds and he desired to c'ean them ont
BY drawing of the water from the ponds
As this was done and rs the water be
came very shallow, numbers Of the carp
were seen to secret themselves in the
mud. The carp were noticed to stick
their noses in the soft muck in the bot
tom of the pond, and rise up, give their
tails n flap, and disappear in the muck,
the places where they went down being
marked similar to places where frogs
come out of the ground in the spring Of
the year. Tho carp in the mud were
not molested, but thousands Of others.
some weighing eight pounds, We're
caught and returned to the pond after
the other fish had been cleaned out as
much as possible. The following dar
when the pond had filed up again, tie
surface OF the water was full of dead
carp, supposed to be those which hal
gone into the mud and died after the
water had been drained off.
