More Profitable work Than Painting.


There is a jewelers. window on Broad
ray, just above Tiffany's, which attracts
good deal of attention. The trinkets
shown in it are beautiful, but this is not
uncommon; the noticeable feature is
rather the skill with which they are dis
played. The softest, most exquisite col
ors are chosen as backgrounds, and
against silk or brocade or airy gauze the
flashing gems are wonderfully combined.
have not passed this particular window
in two years without stopping to look at
It, but it was not until yesterday that /
harned, so to speak, its history. The
window dresser's position in all large city
Establishments is important and well
paid.
The dresser attached to this jewelry
house fell i'll, and in his absence a young
woman, who sometimes brought painted
plaques and other trifes for sale, asked
10 be allowed to experiment PERMITS
ZION was given without much enthusi-
asm, but the results were such that the
dresser had to seek another situation on
recovery. Since that time the young
artist has given every Monday to fresh
design for the jewelers. window, and it
pays her much better than plaque paint
ing. Window dressing is a business
hardly as yet invaded by women, but
me in which it might be supposed their
haste would come excellently in play. -

EMANCIPATION.
now THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AUSTIN
AND THE CoUNTYsCELEBRATED
THE DAY.
Large Gatherings and Addresses by Col
ored Speakers at Darlington and
Wheeler Groves.

Several thousand of the colored
peoplesof Austin and the county as
,sembled in the city yesterday and
marched through some of the streets
in separate professions, one of which
went to the Darlington grounds and
the other to Wheeler's grove to cele-
brate Emancipation day. The divis-
ion in their ranks is. attributed to
the fact that many of them preferred
the Darlington grove, while others
the great majority of them as their
movements showed preferred their old
stamping ground, Wheeler's Grove,
where they have been so long accus-
toned to gather at every emancipation
anniversary. The result was that the
.assemblage at Wheeler's Grove was far
greater, probably twice as large as that
at Clearinghouse.
The programme of exercises was
similar at both places, embracing ex-
additions of drilling by colored military
companies, competition in games OF
base ball, and addresses by colored
speakers. Each procession had its
queen and maids of honor escorted in
style to the respective gathering
places, and each rendezvous was dotted
with numerous refre shment tables.
At Carrington's the speakers an
nounced for the occasion were Prof.
H. T. Heating, orator of the day, and
Messrs. Grumbles, Blackstone, Fry
and Henson. Mr.. Keatings address
was spirited and commendable for its
good suggestions and generally con-
servative tone. The addresses of the
Others who spoke as far as advised
were also. conceived in good spirit
and received with favor.
The refreshment tables were freely
and doubtless proftably patronized.
The same may be said of the exercises
at Wheeler's grove where addresses
were made by Rev. J. D. Coffee, Rev.
Geo. Pleasant, AL Overton, j. M. Hol-
land and Hector Johnson, captain OF
the colored company, the Capital
Rifles. The last speaker urged the
color ed people to hold together to up
hold the interests of the colored people.

A Famou, peau,y,, paueI,tor.

l hear on good authority that Ethel
Sprague, Kate Chase Sprague's daugh-
ter, has decided to relinquish her idea
of going upon the stage. This young
lady did not inherit the beauty, fascina-
ton and grace of her mother, neither
had she the requisite dash and style nee
essary for on actress. She is culti-
waited. clever girl, but those qualities
are not absolutely in demand in the
mimic world If there is not genius
there must be beauty, style, aplomb,
vim, dash, and Miss Sprague was lack
ing in these essentials. She has heark-
ened to the voice of her friends and TO
the advice Of Messrs. Frohman and
Sargent, and has abandoned her dreams
of stage career. Sensible girl.

IMMORTAL.

He walked the world with Blended head;
'sThere is no thing" he moaning said,
'sThat must not some day join the dead"
He sat where rolled river deep;
woman sat her down to weep;
A child lay in her lap asleep
The waters touched the mothers hand.
His heart was touched. He passed from land,
But LEFT it laughing in the sand
That one kind word that one good deed,
Was as II you should plant seed
In sand along deaths sable brede,
And looking from the farther shore,
He saw, where he had sat before,
A light that grew; grew more and moro
He saw growing, glowing throng
OF happy people white and strong
With faith, and jubilant with song.
1t grew and grew, this little seed
OF good sown in that day of need,
Until 1t touched the stars indeedl
And then the old man smiling said,
With youthful heart and lifted head
''No good deed ever joins the dead"

The new Board of Trade hall was
last night thrown open to the public,
aud it is success. 1t is quite COM
modious, cool and airy, with gallery
encircling three sides of the walls and
well lighted with electricity and gas.
A splendid audience had assembled to
hear what proved to be the best
musical affair that Austin ever had.
The programme as above printed,
shows an array of the best musical
talent of the city, but last night each
and every singer especially distin-
guished her and himself. The selec.
lions of the programme were classical
and difficult, but were rendered in a
style that would have done credit to
the best of professionals.
One exception must be made in this
general praise it is that of Miss See
Tyson, VINO today leaves Austin to
make her future home in San Antonio
She has magnificent alto voice ele'
gantly trained and as true as the notes
of piano. By her departure Austin
loses not only young lady who, in
her two years residence here, has
made herself deservedly popular, but
one of the very best singers that ever
delighted her audiences.
After the concert the floor was
cleared and dancing was INDUCED in
and the ladies spent much time in
admiring the handsome club rooms.

Water Lilies as Food.

The water lilyi said to be largely used
in some parts of India as food stuff.
The fruit of one species that grows plen-
tifully in the lakes of Cashmere is rich
in starch, and has much the flavor of a
chestnut. If the nuts are dried they will
keep long time, and, when ground,
may be made into cakes or porridge, or
they may be soaked for some hours and
boiled. The seeds Of the lotus are also
much used for dietary purposes in India.

Going with the Runnlo.

In ten years more, unless laws are en-
acted to prevent, the sight of live, free
alligator will be such variety as to
cause public comment. There is no
longer a safe retreat for him in the

fore one can be secured. Nature made
him for some special use. and his extinc-
ton may bring some sort of revenge

Democratic County Convention.

A convention of the Travis county
Democracy is hereby called to meet at
the court house on Saturday, July rs,
at 10 o'clock a. m. The business of
the convention will be to nominate
candidates for the various county Of
fees, to elect delegates to the State
congressional and judicial conven-
tons, to make necessary provision for
the continuance of the party organi-
zaiton, and to dispose of such further
business as may properly come be-
fore it.
1t is suggested that primary meet
ings be held throughout the county
on Saturday, July IL, converting in
the several wards of the citv of Aus
tin at 8 o'clock p. m. M; in the vot-
ing precincts of justice precinct No. 3
outside the city at 8 o'clock p. No., and
in each of the other justice precincts
at 3 o'clock p. m, at such places as
may be designated by the respective
chairmen of the precincts.
1t is further requested that the del
egates selected by the primaries
meet in their respective justices pre-
cincts on Saturday, July 10, at 3
o. M. in the country and at 8 p. m in
the city for the purpose of nominating
candidates for justice OF the peace and
constable.
Pending the county convention
delegates from the different commits
sioners precincts are requested to
form themselves into separate bodies
to nominate candidates for county
commissioners.
Some complaint having been made
that persons not Democrats partic-
ipate in primaries, and in some cases
exercise an influence detrimental to
the party, primary meetings are re-
quested to guard against this con-
tingency by such measures as may be
considered proper, 80 that the action
of the primaries will be a true ex-
preston of the wishes of the party.

are not fashionable, but turquoise, navy,

Paper was founded little over year

the London school board, and still active
in various public ways. This newspaper
holds a unique position-being written,
printed, published and edited wholly by
women. 1t is to be hoped, since it speaks
out bravely on most matters, that its
readers are not entirely confined to the
feminine sex. That The Penny Paper
has been signal success, in financial
way, cannot be doubted, for some months
ago it doubled it's size without increas-
ing its price, and that cause and sign of
newspaper prosperity, the advertising
solumn, lengthens week by week. Lady

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December l3.-
A special dispatch to the Times from
Bristol, Pa, says: A shocking accident
occurred at tho Mill.street railroad
crossing this afternoon by which four
persons were killed, one fatally wounded.
and one seriously hurt The accident
was caused by the safety-gates at the
crossing being raised just before the
New York west-bound express was due.
A number of persons had been wait
ing for freight train to pass, and as
soon as the gates we're raised started to
cross. John Mcllyain, teamster,
started across with his wagon, IN which
were his thirteen ear-old son, Neal Nc
Ivan Joseph Hussey, about the same
age Hugh Dever, store-keeper on
Pine street, and John Melee, about
fifteen years old. The express train,
which was running at full speed, struck
the wagon. instantly killing Neal Nell
vain, Joseph Hussey, and Hugh Dever.
John McIlyain had his shoulder
and leg broken, ribs crushed, and
was otherwise internally injured. He
is not expected to live. The two
boys were struck with such force that
they were thrown into the canal. Joseph
johnson. who was crossing the track on
foot, was also struck by the engine and
instantly killed.
John McGee, who was also in tho
wagon, was badly injured.
The gatekeeper claims that the CHATTER
of the freight train passing drowned the
noise OF the bell so that it could not be
heard. lie will probably be arrested.
