EVENING UP THINGS.
How a Drummer Resented Hotel-Keep-
er's Rapacity.

ch fuPa'isys
/ had room next TO q commercial
traveller in st. Louis hotel, and when
both of US were packing up to go, after
a stay of three or four days, heard q
sudden crash in his room and went in to
ascertain the cause. He had the lounge
on its back and had broken off leg.
"You see," he explained, in an answer
to my look of inquiry, 81 am getting
even with the house."
How do you mean?"
''Sit down, my dear fellow" he con-
tinued, as he reached up and cracked
one of the gas globes with the door key.
LET us theorize bit. The object of a
hotel is to furnish temporary home for
man away from his own. The idea is
to feed and lodge him and make him
comfortable for money consideration.
The rate here is four dollars per day.
Did you fee the porter for bringing up
your trunk?"
"Yes."
$50 did /. That was sheer blackmail.
Did you fee your waiter?"
"Yes."
$50 did i. We had to, or one wouldn't t
been half waited on. That's more black
mail How was the gas in your room?"
'Very poor"
Exactly. 1t is turned off so that no
one can get half light. That's a fraud
on the guests. Did you drink at the
bare"
"a glass of becr.''
"And they charged you ten cents, and
the glass was only pony. TREY made
fully 700 per cent profit on that beer
That is extortion. Did you have ice
water at night?"
"Yes, two or three times"
"And you gave the bell boy dime
each time. You felt that you had to. He
felt that you ought to and stood waiting
for 1T. That was more extortion. Did
the mosquitoes bother you any?"
"Yes, nearly ate me up"
San why not? Thores not screen Of
any sort at any window in the whole
house. In other words, the landlord
hasn't the slightest care for your com
fort. He won't go to the least cost or
trouble to give you good nights sleep.
Buy any cigars in the hotel?'
"Yes."
"Well, they made from 15O to 200 per
cent on them. Have any lanndry?"
Yes"
well thoy charged you from 10 to 100
per cent above outside prices. Perhaps
you had a coupe?"
"Yos"
Ordered it through the Office prob
ably?"
"Yos."
''Well, you paid from 25 to5O per cent
above regular outside rates. A man
took your hat at the dining-room door,
Iio is stationed there to bleed the pub
Iic. and he bled you. II yougot shaved,
you paid twenty-five per cent. over out

Ayers
Cherry Pectoral

G. o. Lepper, Druggist, Fort Wayne, Ind,
writes: "My little sister, four years of age,
was so i'll from bronchitis that we had almost
given up hope of her recovery. Our family
physician, a skilful man and of large expert
ence, pronounced IL useless to give her any
more medicine, saying he had done all 1t was
possible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst AS a last resort, we determined to
try Ayers Cherry Pectoral and can truly
say, with most happy results. After taking
few doses she seemed to breathe easier,
and, within week, was out Of danger. We
continued giving the Pectoral until satisfied
she was entirely well. This indisputable
evidence of the great merit of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral has given me unbounded conf
dence In the preparation, and recommend
1t to my customers, knowing 1t cannot disap-
point them"

Chairman DeGress stated that the object
OF the meeting was to select the time and
place for holding the State convention and
the basis OF representation in case it was
concluded to hold the convention. As to
whether or nota convention should be held
that was question tor the committee
alone.
Mr. Mesmer, alluding to the manner in
which the San Antonio delegation had
come to Austin, said they had come to ex-
ton to meet in the Alamo City.
Col. Newcomb, MIR. Mcdaniel, Mr.. Tug
well and Gen. Flanagan all spoke warmly
in favor of San Antonio. The last gentle
man said Tyler would yield now to that
city, but be in the race next time. The Re-
publicans had done well in San Antonio
and lie wanted them to reconsecrate them,
selves in the work there for Republica-
success.
Aui' luS"oil diiuslou W Dexdr county
and to San Antonio as progressive city,
and to ex-Gov. Davis excited applause.
An invitation from Weatherford was
read.
Finally San Antonio was nominated, and
after heing seconded by Mr.. Quincy, was
unanimously selected as the place for hold.
ing the State Republican convention.
September was appointed as the time
for holding the convention.
There was some animated discussion, in
which Messrs. Mcdaniel, DeGress, Flana-
gan, Rector and others participated as to
further open proceedings, but the commit
tee finally decided to go into executive
session,
1t was talked about on the streets yester.
day afternoon with much pleasure that the
convention in September would in all prob
ability nominate Judge Rector for the gov
ernorship. No better man could be selected.
In executive session the basis adopted is
one delegate for each county, one for each
250 republican votes in county and one
vote for each major fraction of 250 votes in
county. Also one delegate for each
1000 voters in county and one for each
major fraction of 1,000 votes.
The object of allowing one vote for every
1000 Democratic votes is to give the white
Republicans of North Texas larger infu-
ence in the convention. The whites will
thus obtain 175 vUtes in the convention,
while southern counties, mainly colored
countless will gain only 55. The votes are
those cast fof president at last election.
The colored delegates say they don't object
to the whites ruling in off years
but it will be different in the presid dential
contest They are opposed to Hogg for
governor from head TO hoof, and may sup
port a strong Independent candidate
against him. Thet end of sentiment how
everis for full Republican State ticket.

A GALVESTON PROJECT.
Proposal to Put Up Sugar Reinery-Using
Artesian Water.

ArteSlan wafer.
GALVESTON, Tex. June 17.-Anent the
establishment of sugar refinery here and
experiments looking to that end, mention
of which was made in these dispatches a
few nights ago, William P. Kirchopf, who,
with his brother, has been experimenting
with rain and artesian water, has this to
ay:
II have not completed my analysis but
have found that rain and artesian water
sugar. l have also found that we can do as
well on a small scale as we possibly could on
a large scale because we produce as much
sugar as it is possible to make. Rain water
is considered the very best water for max
ing sugar, but we found that ar
tesian water actually produced more refined
sugar in test than rainwater but this. in
my Judgment, is due to the richness of the
raw product, that in the artesian being
richer than that used in rainwater. The
water and test is perfectly satisfactory, and
50 confident are we that it can be made
successful that my brother and myself are
willing to head the list with a subscription
of $4,000 each, making $4,000 between us.
If we did not have every confidence in the
water we would not be found willing to
risk any money.
Preparations are in progress to organize
a company and establish small refinery
at first with an output of $50 barrels daily
and increase its capacity as business may
require.
Such is the faith in the enterprise that
the stock of the company will be readily
taken as soon as an organization is effected
and the refinery will bequickly established
as it is recognized that Galveston must do
something to holt her sugar trade, which
is rapidly being diverted to New Orleans.

GREAT RACE AT sHEEPsHEAD BAY
Fifty Thousand People Present-Purse $10,-

Fifty Thousand People Present-Purse $10,-
900, Won by Salvador.
New YORK, June 17.-Fifty thousand per-
sons were at Sheepshead Bay to see the
great suburban today.
Fourth race-Suburban handicap, sweep
stakes OF 500 each, half forfeit, and only
$25 if declared, the association to add the
amount necessary to make the value of the
race $4,000, second to receive $4,000 and
third $1,000 out of the money added
After several attempts to start they
jumped away altogether and Caldwell
flashed his red flag on them in jiffy. A
mighty roar arose from the immense throng
as they came bounding past the stand.
Cassius was in front and within a short
distance had already lead of length.
tirenzi, that gallant mare from the Hog
gin stable, was running second and the
others followed in close bunch. Going
around the first turn Cassius still had his
lead of length from Longstreet, who was
a head before Strideaway Firenzi fourth,
Prince Royal fifth, Raceland sixth, Mon
tague last.
Past the quarter they went at a terrific
pace Cassius increasing his lead steadily
while Longstreet, kept the second place
from Strideway, who kept his head in front
of Salvador, with Tennie in the rear. Now,
Garrison began to move up with Tennie,
and as he began to move through the mass
ofother colors, great shout went up from
the stand. Murphy on Salvador heard it,
and was quick as cat. He sent Salvador
into the third place. Longstreet was half
length in front of him with the others
punched close behind.
Going down the backstretch Cassius in
creased his speed, and at one time had a
lead of four lengths. Longstreet still held
the Second place with a death-like grip,
and Salvador was but half length away.
Prince Royal had taken the fourth place
and Tennie fifth. Salvators yellow sleeves
began to flash at faster pace now, and
Garrison set the pace for him, with Tennie
at the head of the stretch. Both were close
on to Cassius. Salvador was second, only
a neck in front of Strideaway, followed by
Longstreet, Tennie, Raceland and others,
Now they were all ranged out for the
race home. The jockeys were all working
like demons and the horses were respond
ing with all the gameness possible. Inch
by inch Salvador crawled up on the lead
ing Cassius as net yet had whip or spur
been used. Garrison was working des.
perately on Tennie but the little horse
could not get up. Now all were whipping
like mad, still Cassius heads the lead.
'Casslus wins" madlly shouted thousands
as the last furlong pole is reached.
No, Salvador wlnsW shouted another
faction, and then the gallant chestnut,
under the desperate whipping of Murphy;
draws away. The wire is very near, and
Tarral and Murphy are racing for all they
know how. In the last jump SalvIto gets
his head in front and wins by neck.
