The Johnson twins, OF Bristol, England,
are two young artisans between whom it
is said there exists most remarkable
similarity. Not only are they of the same
height and weight, having the same col
ored hair, eyes and complexion, identical
physical measurements, and feeding, walk
ing, running, laughing, crying, singing
and speaking alike, but they are of the
same occupation, hold the same position
and have the same religious persuasion
and likes and disli1es. More singular
still, they have espoused very similar
wives, and they have the same number OF
children, who are of the same seXes-three
girls and three boys each.

Columbus has been the home of many
well known ladies' The wives and daugh-
ters of governors and others attracted to
the capital of Ohio have contributed to the
beauty and talent of the city. Kate Chase
Sprague resided in Columbus when quite
a young lady, at the time Salmon p. Chase
was governor, in 1856. She had as romantic
an experience then as any that came in
later years. Richard Nevins was a gay
young man-one of the boys. Mr.. Chase
tried to keep Kate from his society, and
finally forbade Nevins to enter his house.
Mr. Nevins afterward married Miss Med

one in every four attending Sunday
schools. This city makes fair
showing with the other cities in
Texas, but the delegates think
that the average should be better when
the attendance of the Sunday-school
is not over one-half of the church mem
bership. This presents a fine field for
effective Sunday-school work, and the
means by which this may be accomplish
ed will be one of the topics of the con-
ventIon.
Fort Worth has been catholic-mInded
in its liberality and IN all its undertake
ings. Apropos of this fact, the exigency
of entertaining the Sunday school people
should be met with. 1t is this attention
to strangers which has given the wide
spread popularity to her name.
The addresses and responses were ex-
temporaneous last night, but withel they
evinced an affection for the humanities
as well as careful thought of the work IN
hand.
If the expressions of sentiment of a
few prominent delegates are any index,
it Is probably correct anticipation of
the action Of the convention to state
that an amendment to the
constitution will be made to conform
Will the lnteruHIlOuai IneInOu Oh nOluluR
their conventions, which is triennial.
One of the prominent delegates informed
a reporter that if this change was made
he favored an annual holding of
district conventions to prevent apa-
thy in the work. Texas is such
an empire in itself, these district conven-
tons would draw from almost as large
constituency as the state conventions in
other states. Furthermore it could be
so arranged, he thought, that few of
the best workers from other sections
would attend these district conventions.
Mr.. Luther Reese, the leader of the
choir in the Congregational church at
Dallas, will act in the same capacity at
the Sunday-school convention. This
gentleman has one of the finest voices in
Texas. He is also member of the ex-
ecutiYe committee.

Bloodshed Across the River.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. May 13.-Serious
bloodshed, growing out of the present
political difficulties in the state of Goa
hula, Mexico, is felt at Eagle Pass and
other Texas towns along the Rio Grande
and there are many surmises, growing
out of the fact that Col. Niconar
Valdez, commanding picked Mexican
troops at San Juan, Sabin as, about sew
enty-flve miles southwest of Eagle Pass,
has received orders direct from President
Diaz to proceed to Juarez, some forty
miles distant, and he has gone there with
100 cavalrymen. The relations between
the governor, Col. Jose Maria Cara
Galan, and President Diaz have not been
pleasant for some time, and
it is feared Governor Galan has ar
ranged affairs that he can
undertake revolution in his state of
considerable proportion. 1t is thought,
however, that on the arrival of Col.
Valdez at Juarez, Galan will be deposed
and a military government for Goa
hula will be established until the people
of the state can peacefully elect another
governor.

cen,u. Enumerator. not to be pr,bed.

OenBuS GNOJ " NC
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE superin-
tendent of census has issued the follow
ing important order to the supervisors Of
the census:
It has been brought to the attention of
the superintendent that the city coun-
ellis and boards of trade OF certain
Western cities have appropriated sums
of money to aid their census supervisors
In enumeration of the population.
While it may be urged by some that
such proceeding is legitimate and is
merely Intended to help the government
to obtain the full enumeration, I am
compelled to look npon 1t as an almost
irresistible temptation to fraud and as a
consequence endangering an honest count
of the people. If tolerated by the office
1t would have the tendency to bring the
whole census into disrepute. You are
therefore positively instructed not
to receive any such compensation or pay
ment of any sum of money whatever by
corporations, associations, or persons TO
enumerators. Any supervisor of the
census who is not content with the re-
enumeration allowed by law (Which is
double tne amount III looU) enOulu at
once resign. The eleventh census must
and shall be above suspicion. To
tolerate any action on the
part of associations, organizations
or individuals, no matter how
powerful they may be, which has for its
purpose the debauohing, or which would
even throw the slightest faint upon the
truthfulness of the returns, would, in
my opinion, be nothing short of q crime
against the people Of the United States.
This whole matter together with the facts
in possession OF this Office has been laid
before the honorable secretary of the in
terror, and the action of the superintend-
eut of census In placing every legitimate
obstacle at his command in the way Of
the distribution of local funds for this
purpose meets with the secretary's ap-

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The senate
committee on commerce to-day resumed
hearing upon plans for improving the
Mississippi river channel. Henry Flad,
member of the Miss issippi river commits
sion, opposed the Lake Borgne outlet
system, and favored the narrowing of
the channel TO 5000 or $500 feet and
building revetments and levees. 81. B.
Richardson, chief engineer of Louisiana,
spoke in favor of levees and against
the outlet system. Capt. Miller of Mem
phis, pilot of fifty years experience,
said he thought the bed of the river was
rising. This was due, he said, to the
closing of the outlets OF the streams.
Government work on levees was wasted
because of unprotected points. Ex-
Congressman Moore of Memphis ex-
pressed the opinion that combination of
the leYee and outlet system was the true
solution of the difficulty.
