brated. Mr.. Slator, in his usual happy
style, responded to the toast, "The Glass
of 49," Mr.. Harrison responded to the
toast "The Two Candidates" and "Wid-
der" johnson closed the festivi-
ties with a few words of wisdom,
telling those present that the world was
tricky and that each one would have to
stand up for his own rights, and that the
best companions a man can have in his
journey through life was a clear con-
science, pocket full of money and-and
a wife. Mr.. M. D. Slator, the gentleman
who was chosen to represent the class,
graduated from his Alma Mater with the
first honors of his class and during his at.
tendance on the University he has proven
himself hard student, a good speaker
and most popular gentleman, and his
election last evening was a just tribute to
worth and merit.

"Techas."

Such was the mystical, cabalistic word
around which now centers an event of
rare beauty and pleasure. 1t was the word
that summoned, to the home of Miss
Maidee Pope last evening, of Aus tins
young men the bravest and the best. The
translation thereof was disclosed in the
elegant "high tea" served to the delecta-
ton of the favored guests. The OCCASION
was reception rendered by Miss Pope to
her charming guest, Miss Daisy Turner, of
Houston. Assisting Miss Pope in her
tribute to the fair visitor from the Mag
nolia city we're her sister, Miss Minnie
Pope, Miss Tully Folts, Miss Annie
Hunter and Miss Eula Caldwell.
The hour of reception was from
to O'Clock and every moment of those
sixty short time beats was the signal for
the arrival and departure of guests. Later
in the evening four card tables were ar
ranged, each with different game, and a
novel contest in progressive cards was
waged. At II O'Clock it was decided Miss
Annie Hunter and Mr.. Harry Little were
entitled to the first prize, while Miss Daisy
Turner and Mr.. Peyton Brown had sue
ceeded in losing the greatest number of
games. The elegant prizes awarded the
victors added to the JOY of the leaders
while also completely consoling the
wounded pride of those whom harsh GUS
tom has dubbed "boobies." The enter
tainment was elegant in the extreme and
heartily enjoyed.

ORATOR SELECTED.
The Senior Law Glass Prepared
for the Commencement.

In pursuance of the rules of the faculty,
the senior law class of the University met
yesterday afternoon in their class room
for the purpose of selecting one of their
members to represent them at the COM
mencement exercises in June next.
Mr.. Harrison called the meeting to
order, and in a few appropriate words
stated its object. He said that according
to the rules no nominations would be
made, but that the members would pre-
pare their ballots at once.
Upon counting the ballot it was found
that Mr.. M. d. Slator was the successful
competitor, and, on motion, his election
was made unanimous. In response to the
calls of the members this gentleman ex-
pressed his thanks in q few very appro-
pirate words.
After the election the class composed of
the following: Messrs. Slator,. Lockett,
Barber, Borrow, Dohoney, Burgess, Camp,
Brown, Fielder, Buchanan, Fisher, GanO'

Passed AWAY.

At late hour Thursday night Col. E.
q. Dewey, well known in this city, died at
the City hospital of infammatory rheuma-
tism and was buried yesterday. Colonel
Dewey, many years ago, was govern
ment contractor and was engaged IN fur
nishing military supplies to the posts on
the Texas frontier. He was also at one
time one of the lessees of the state peni-
Tertiary. Colonel Dewey was a warm
hearted, generous man and at one time
numbered his friends all over this part of
Texas by scores and many will regret to
learn of his death.

Farm Wagons.

Mr.. R. D. Cunningham, the gentlemanly
and popular agent of the Milburn Wagon
company, still holds the fort with the
always reliable Milburn wagon. Every
farmer in the state should have one of
these light running, durable wagons.
They are more than worth the money you
pay for them, and they never fail to sat
isfy the most exacting. The Milburn
spring work sold by Mr.. Cunningham
has no superior in the world. Stylish,
easy riding and handsomely finished, the
buggies and carriages cannot be exoelled.
By all means, go down and examine the
stock if you want tirst-class buggy.

Napier's famous dispatch from India
announced his victory in one word, "Pec-
cavi,". which is, by Interpretation, Il have
Scinde." Very much of the same kind
was General De Bourmont's message to
the French war minister in 1880, when the
dey of Algiers escaped him after being
taken, "Perdidi diem"-"I have lost a
dey." It is said that Drake, when the
ships of the Armada turned their sails,
sent to Elizabeth the word "Cantharides"
that is, "the Spanish fly" This last is
probably fable.--Temple Bar.

The fact that good health, strong muscles
and sound nerves are attainable should en-
courage every invalid to an earnest en-
deavor in the right direction. Remember
all disease owes its origin, more or less,
to lack of iron in the blood. Iron in the
blood means health strength and vigor.
Analyze the blood of an invalid and little
or no iron will be found. Healthy mems
blood is full of iron. The lest method of
supplying this lack of iron is by using
Browns Iron Bitters, a sure cure for dys-
pepsia, general debility, weakness and all
wasting diseases.

WHAT THEY SAY.

They called on the firm of Houston
Brothers, attorneys for the company, and
were informed that some five or six
weeks ago Mr.. Lott had written
them from New York giving
instructions to have all the men possible
put to work grading the road between
Gonzales and Lookhart. This they did,
but since then there has hardly been day
lick of work could be struck, owing to
continuous rains and the soggy CON
dition of the earth. In consequence of
this work has been unsvoidably delayed,
and the company will ask slight extern
sion of time. Mr.. Houston informed
Messrs. Saunders and Oastleman that the
company is very anxious to reach Austin
and that the delay has been matter
of very serious inconvenience to all con-
cerned. Every arrangement has
been perfected and all finan-
cial matters satisfactorily made
of commencement work, and rapidly put
ting it through as soon as the elements
will permit.
EXTENSION OF TIME.
Mr.. Houston said that the delay, caused
by no fault of the company, would neces
sarily compel the asking of an extension
of time in which to complete the road to
Austin, and that communication from
Mr.. Lott would be forwarded to Austin in
a few days setting forth the particulars
and fixing the date to which he desired
the extension made. The communi-
cation will be made public on
its arrival, and the citizens who have
subscribed to the fund will be asked to
meet to consider it.
THE LLANo EXTENSION.
In reference to special telegram in
The STATESMAN few days ago. stating
that contract had been made to build
the road from Comfort to Llano, Mr..
Castleman said that he met Mr.. W. A. II.
Miller, of Llano, in San Antonio, and that
no such contract had been made, and the
outlook for such a contract Just now is
not fattering.
Mr.. Castleman seems to think that the
company will get to work as soon as
possible, and that the road will be pushed
through to Austin with all dispatch.
