It was urged by Col. Cameron on
Monday night, and the suggestion was
loudly cheered on all sides, that where
parts of the suburbs were laid off into
city lots that part properly belong to
tho city, and should be made part OF
it, and that tracts Of outlying land un-
divided could not properly be in
cluded in the extension. He was, he
said, on his way to Austin that night
to protest against tract Of landwhich
he owned near FL Paso, being taken
into the city, because the land was a
sand hill, subject to overflow, not on
the market and having on it no set

1t is reported in New York that a
number of the leading banking houses
of that city already interested in the
Panama Canal Company have arranged
for, a syndicate, the object of which
is to quietly buy up in France enough
of the shares of the canal company to
give them the control Of it, when they
will reorganize it and push it until the
work is finished. A preliminary ar
rangement has been made with bank
in Paris to act as the agent Of the Gym
dictate in purchasing the shares re-
quired, the theory being that they can
be obtained for comparatively little
money, in view Of their present depre-
ciated market value.

HE KNEW HIS POSITION.

Taxgatherer Resented the irony of Being
Decked with Green Ribbon.
Yesterday was a decided gala day at the
Clifton race track, the crowd being one of
the largest ever seen there. F~orty-two
bookmakers, the largest number yet re-
corded, handled the money, and the crowd
surged and jostled everywhere.
A capital days sport, too, and far above
the average, delighted those present. Each
of the races furnished close contests, and
over the last the spectators wentwildw with
enthusiasm, the first five at the finish be-
ing punched, with only heads or necks
separating them.
OF course, the majority present did not
forget it was ST. Patrick's Day, and green
ribbons decorated the manes and tails of
many Of the starters. SThe decoration, in
one instance, caused a little trouble. Old
Taxgatherer saw the green on his tail,
and becoming frightened thereat, he ran
away and covered the ground several
times before he could be pulled up.
Many unthinking people, his trainer in
cluded, wondered why the old horse
should be so frightened. But it was a
very simple matter, and another of those
occasions where equine sagacity fully
grasped the situation. He was bred
by an old Irish patriot, who
thoroughly understood and synlpathized
with the trials of his c~ountrymen. What
wonder that the old horse understands
something of the landlord tyranny. He
was not frightened at the ribbons, but at
the audacity of a Taxgatherer a-wearing
Of the green.
His runaway was the cause of a little
trouble. The horses had been sent to the
post, and Taxgatherer was on his way when
he made the break. OF course he was
drawn. The judges decided that
none bet ON him should be
returned, thus clearly indicating they
did not consider him in the starters
hands. A few bookmakers declined to
obey the order, but the Executive Commit
tee afterward ratified it, and all tickets
on Taxgatherer, not yet redeemed, win be
today.
Meanwhile theS Executive Committee
has formulated al rule for snch cases, to
the effect that im the event of a horse
being drawn afuerS the betting begins, nd
ditional time shall be given for a new
book to be made.
Each of the five ifavorites were beaten
second favorites winning as a rule, the
Mutuals, therefore, while not being small
fortunes, representing snug little sums II
each instance.

Gumnastic PettIcoats.

From The Negu York Sun1
The costume worn by the young
ladies of the Berkely Lyceum Athletic
class consists of blouse and skirt which
are made of dark blue cashmere and
decorated very smartly with gilt braid,
1t is only when a girl hangs by her
feet from a trapeze or revofyes around
a horizontal bar that the possibilities
of the little petticoats OF the uniform
which she can't put on over her mead
are revealed. 1t is a petticoat that
can be depended on IN every emerc
pency. The diabolical inclination OF
1efticoats is thwarted by rubber
bands. about one of which it is shirred
at f1e waist and about two OF
which it is gathered at the knees.
Tt can't get away, can't twist
itself suddenly round her legs
like an octopus and hold her fast,
can't catch on everything she at
tempts to Jump over, can't fly up over
her face if she lifts d foot to the level
of her waist, can't spread out like an
umbrella when she jumps, and, best
of all. cannot weigh her down with
the dread fear of what may happen ii
she dares to move out OF the proper
and conventional course.
From the time a little girl can run
she is hampered by the tyranny Of her
petticoats. If she has the skill and
nerve to climb q fence she has her at
tention distracted by the fear that her
skirts are NOT in order and that she
mustn't show her stockings, even to
the birds and cows, and nineteen or
twenty years of this slavery makes
her halting andmincing in her motion,
and it isn't that she is SO much inferior
to her brothers in yigor and daring,
but that she is held in constant terror
by that three or four yards of cloth
gathered into a belt which may be
called the petticoat fend.

his own in the line of the French Mis-

in the Samoan negotiations.

covers a Queer Sort of Women.

If YOU ever chance to see a blonde
moustached guard about the medium

no padding underneath his short blue
jacket, who hangs over his gate be-

Pass Bill.

The Senators who pretend to doubt
the expediency of passing the Feeney
bill to submit water contracts to pop
ular vote should study the situation
in Newark.
Here are all the fresh water pirates
in the State gathered together to
plumber our sister city. Bartlett and
Hobart, and Pratt, erstwhile bitter
opponents of the Lehigh Valley Com
pany, are nov backing it up with all
their might. They are striving to de-
Jude the public into the belief that
money will be saved by buying the
cast-off water rights which the Lehigh
Company claims to W but probably
has no valid title to.
When opposing interests combine in
this fashion, it means evil for the citi-
zens. They pool their interests, and
sink their differences in order that their
combined raid on the public
treasury may be more effectual.
There seems to be serious reason
to fear that they will succeed in their
present attack. There are signs that
the Newark Board of Aldermen will
not stand up against them. Then
there is much tribulation in store for
that city-trouble that may not fall
short of bankruptcy.
But the Legislature holds the rem
edy in it's hand. The passage of the
Feeney bill wiz give the people full
protection. Attic same time if the
companies NEAR honestly, it can do
them no harm.
1t is because they are currupt and
criminal that the swindlecates are
afraid of the bill, and every member of
the Legislature who does their work
by helping to kill it arrays himself in
the sight of the entire State upon the
side of all that is most evil in politics.
