CLAUDE.
The County Seat Of Armstrong County
Attracting Attention from
Capitalists.
Building Boom on the Increase Contractors
Neutrality-suspicious. Arrive and In
vest-A Health Resort
CLAUDE, Tex, March 10, 1890.

CLAUDE, TEX, March 13, 1890.
To the Gazette.
This town is attracting more attention
than ever since the election last Satur
day, when she. was declared the county
seat of Armstrong county.
Yesterday snow, "beautiful snow, -
fell here to the depth of about two
inches. It being warm here to-day
the snow has all melted and disappeared
into the ground, and will help the wheat.
Two building and loan associations
have organized here the past week, with
a large list of members.
The building boom does not abate, but
is on the increase. New buildings are
going up on every hand, and other con-
tracts will be let as soon as contractors
can be had. Several contractors have
arrived from Vernon.
MIR. Lee Biyens, prominent Sher-
mantle, but lately from Vernon, has ar
rived and gone into the real estate BUSH
ness with Charles Wheat, our new
county surveyor.
A car load of twenty-three gentlemen
from Tennessee arrived last night. Upon
looking around upon these vast and beau
tifuI ''Staked Plains'' one was heard to
remark to n, fellow pilgrim, "This is
certainly paTadise-the half has not been
told me- These twenty-three gentle
men have purchased twenty-three lots in
the Goodnight addition, and will erect
twenty three houses at once for renting
purposes. They also say that they wish
a section of land each also.
There was grand flagstaff raising

people of Claude will celebrate their vic
tory in an appropriate manner. The
programme has not been made public as
yet, but it is expected that there will be
horse-racing during the day and perhaps
speaking and q grand ball in the even
ing. All of Texas are invited to attend.
There can be no question but what this
country (the Staked Plains) offers more
inducements to the farmer than any in
the West to-day. As to its being small
grain country that has been proved. The
wheat now looks as fine as any in Wich-
ita county or any other, and as this
section is always visited by copious rains
during the month of April this county is
sure of good wheat crop.
Armstrong county Is now enjoying the
boom Wichita county passed through last
year, and as Claude is the "gateway
to this vast region, all prospectors stop
here first.
a large hotel is needed badly, and
could be rented for a term of years at
good figures, as the two hotels we have
are overladen every night, and often
prospectors ere compelled to continue on
further west for fear that they may not
secure accommodations here.
This will grow to be a very popular
health resort, and good hotel would be
full the year round.
As the wonderful scenery of the Palo
Duro canyon, eighteen miles south, be-
comes more generally known it will be a
great resort, and the tourist on his way
from the mountains to the sea'' or
from the "sea to the mountains' will
stop for few days and visit it.

and ladYlike than the medium-sized round
hats with their sable plumes.
Recently imported French tea-gowns
show exquisite new combinations and
charming details, rather than decided
changes in style.

Toques are no longer fiat round the
brim, but made with a twist of some
light material, such as tulle or crepe; the
strings are always at the back, and,
crossing over, are tied on the left side
near the ear.
A pretty spring dress of dove-gray
royal Rrmure has a row of cut-steel
passementerie down each side of the full
front breadth. The trimming on the
corsage forms a waistcoat, over which
the bodice opens, itself frogged with cut
steel.
Sleeves remain full, in bishop style or
in lego mutton shape, narrowing
towards the elbow, where they button on
the outside to the wrist, and are vari-
ously ornamented with braiding, galloon,
embroidery or rows of moire or velvet
ribbon. Many of the new soft wool
gowns have full velvet sleeves, blouse
vest, collar and girdle of velvet.
The new pocket handkerchief for day
use are in pale pink, bluish-gray and
lilac cambria, with powdering of little
flowers in white fax thread, looking like
silk, and double lines of white near the
hem-sttched edge. There are also
others in the finest white cambria, with
the most captivating little towering IN

finer worked white handkerchiefs are in

A sensation was caused in London by
the finding of the Countess CarlottY, the
English widow of deceased French
nobleman, dead in her chair. The I'M
fortunate woman was hugging in her
arms bag containing SIG 600 in gold at
the very moment when she was dying of
insufficient nutriment, being too miserly
to purchase the food that she needed to
keep her alive.

Even the most ultra of New York re-
ligionists continue TO eat and drink in
Lent, and, if they are stylish, they do it
with undated elaboration. But body
NAV be the best housekeeper in the world
and yet not know how TO give dinner.
This is an art only to be acquired by
hard study and close thinking. New
York private dinners are beyond doubt,
the most elegant of the New World and
in some respects would even astOnish the
fashionable entertainers of the Old. As
everyone knows, the "cheese course 80
is an important one in the elaborate DIM
ner. The cheese must suit the meal and
the guests. 1t must not be too
old, too strong, TOO soft or too hard. 1t
must be just as it should be. But il IS
quite possible that the 'Cheese
couroe'' will not be so popular
in the future, for the reason that the
scientists have been studying up the
cheese. For instance, take Gruyere.
Fifteen grains containing when fresh co.
900 to 40, 900 microbes; when two
months old they have increased TO $780,
600. In soft cheeses the active popula-
ton found in fifteen grains reaches l.
200 900 microbes, that is evenly distrib-
uted throughout the cheese; but in the
hardened outside the population reaches
8, 600, 900 to 5 600, 900 to same weight.
Striking an average, we may safely say
that single ounce of as much of the
cheese eaten at swell dinner parties con-
tain rs many living creatures as there
are human beings on the face OF the
globe.

It was at luncheon party Of ladies.
and the pretty, voluble guests had just
arranged themselves about the flower
laden board preparatory to discussing
bOnnets, coming marriages and dainty
viands. The charming little French
waitress in muslin apron and cap tied
with blue silk bows, passed about bear
ing trey upon which rested group of
small, cleaning glasses filed with a
liquid of dark amber hue. Each lady
accepted one of these glasses as the tray
reached her, and was delighted at the
sweet little rose leaf that fiOated on the
surface of the attractive fluid. When
all present had secured glasses there was
a sponts 1eous ascent of white hands,
congTatulatory exchange OF glances, and
then gentle gurgle followed by signs OF
contentment.
ooh, my, what was that whis-
pered one rosy mouthed young woman
to her ueighbor.
''That is a rose cocktail, - was the re-
ply.
"And what is it made of - asked the
neophyte.
'Why, whisky, of course, answered
the experienced one.
They were in fact regular whisky
cocktails, some enterprising hostess hav-
ing hit upon the poetic and pretty scheme
of GROWING each one with a pink rose
petal and notwithstanding them in order to
quiet the apprehensions of too fastidIous
young ladies.

Now that the male guests at an elab-
crate private dinner are expected to
do little more than taste, not drink, the
wines set forth, the absurdity of retain
ing the old custom of dismissing the
ladies when coffee is reached, becomes
more and more apparent. 1t disturbs
the artistic unity of the meal, and all
sorts of schemes have been discussed in
fashionable centers for doing away with
the custom entirely.
of women only smoked, - cried
we'll known New York dinner giveT,
chow easily we could arrange it. They
would simply sit still until the end of the
dinner, and that terrible half hour or
more of ennui in the drawing room mi
nus men, would be obYiated. -
But women do smoke, - is the reply
to this lady's proposition.
Unfortunately they must do their
smoking in private The odor of their
dainty cigarettes must not be permitted
to reach the nostrlls of fathers, brothers,
husbands or sweethearts.
One of the leaders of New York So
ciety lately gave one Of the popular pink
dinners. The artistic effect was carried
out to the smallest detail, from pink
roses to pink table service, pink napkins,
pink soup, pink sorbet, pink ices, pink
candles and cRudelabra, etc, etc.
When the coffee was reached, and
had been served in delicate pink
cups, the ladies present made haste to
swallow theirs and then turned
more or less nervous chances towards
the hostess, IN the expectation OF sig
nal to retire to the drawing room. But
none came. After enjoying the situa-
ton for few moments, a glance from
my lady at the head of the table brought
a waiter into the room, carrying an eX-
quisite pink china tray, covered with
handsomely embroidered pink silk tray
cloth upon which lay little box i'll pink
enamel containing a dozen or so of tiny
cigarettes in pink paper. One was pre-
sented to each lady, and q second waiter
followed with a lighted pink taper, at
which each fair guest, in the most mat
ter of fact and nonchalent way, lighted
the tiny cigarette and began smoking.
The gentlemen present, with the perfect
self control so Indicative of high breed
ing did not draw a muscle, exchange
glance, or betray in the slightest mao
ner any surprise at this little innovation.
The ladies remained at the table, and
the guests returned to the drawing room
in the same order in which they had left
it. The color had saved the day. Had
the cigarettes been white there is no tell
ing what might not have happened. Now
that the ice is broken, who can say that
the cigarette in colOrs to match has not

The Mascot coin is an innovation of a
genuinely romantic sort. 1 met a young
man who carries one of them day and
night, and he declares that all the wealth
of the Vanderbilts could not buy it from
him. 1t is only five dollar gold piece,
but il is a coin of magical value-in fact
a protection from all i'll, magnet of
fortune, and above all. signet of end
less love, for the one who wears it. And
when it is considered what very strange
journey this little gold piece has taken
any man but scoffer at sentiment
would be ready to admit that its quail
ties must indeed be rare ones. In the
firse place, to haYe a mascot coin one must
have a sweetheart The lovelier this
sweetheart the more potent the charms
OF the coin. Sweetheart makes q pres
ent Of the coin to her lover, but before
il passes irrevocably into his possession
it has an exciting time Of it. In the
thrilling haif-lights of the back drawing
room the coin is passed from the hand Of
the girl to that of the man. Then the
latter carefully, gently and with utmost
respect for the ceremony, drops it down
tbs neck Of the girl, taking especial care
that il deseends under even the last deli
cate film Of clothing. The girl iD'medi-
ateIy becomes the active agent at this
jHucture and by moving about, and per-
hsps hopping up and down a little, man
ages TO sift the coin down on TO the floor.

HOW CANADA DIsCRIMINArEs.

Senator Cullem Reports on Her Attacks
ON American Shipping.
WASHINGTON CITY, April Ex-senator
Cullom has submitted his report upon the
investigation made by the committee on
interstate commerce into the relations of
the railroads of the United States and Can
ada, and also whether there is any discrim.
ination in the charges made for tolls against
United States vessels passing through the
Welland and St Lawrence canals.
The report asserts that unjust discrim-
ination Il made sby Canada against Ameri-
can vessels on the lakes in the matter of
entrance and clearance fees Vessels pass
ing through the Wslland canal bound to
Montreal have . rebate made of Q portion
of the tolls paid for canal passage, but If
bound to any American port or to the St.
Lawrence river. no rebate is made. This.
the report claims, Is . violation of tho pro-
visions Of the treaty Of Washington.
In conclusion the report says: Thus it
is that by attacking the narrow margins Of
profits in the transportation business
here and there, our competitor at the
North has been exploiting upon Am erican
commerce for many years. 1t is doing
that very thing today in q more high
handed and exultant manner than ever be-
fore. All that is necessary for the govern
ments OF Great Britain or Canada to do is
to throw sufficient advantage in favor of
British steamers, Canadian fishing vessels
and Canadian railroads to turn our CON-
merce from American ocean steamers,
American fishing vessels, American rail-
roads and American seaports. This Is be-
