drink. When 1t was explained that the
first glass ordered contained nothing but
real tea the Sendtor regained his temper and
rather enjoyed the Joke.
Generally speaking, though. 1t is remark
able how smoothly and pleasantly teeto-
talers like Senator Frye and Senator Blair
manage to slide along through the crooked
and wicked ways of the restaurant, with
whisky and brandy and champagne and all
sorts of forbidden things circiing round
about them. Here is one place, at least,
where the teetotaler and the drinking man
can get along very well together without
the pleasure of one being marred by the
different tastes of the other.

Extensive Preparations for Worship In the
Grove To. Morrow.
The devotional exercises at Valley Camp
yesterday were we'll attended and exceed
ingly interesting. The pulpit was occupied
in the morning by Rev. G. L. Smith. Of
Wesley Chepel, and in the evening by Rev.
John Miller, of the Buena Vista Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, of Allegheny.
The singing at Valley Camp is one of the
most pleasing features OF the divine service,
and it is with singular clearness and sweet
ness that the voices ring out and echo
through the lovely grove that is at present
dedicated to the worship OF the Creator.
Extensive preparations are in order for to-
morrow's services, that will be conducted by
Presiding Elder j. W. Miles, d. d., with
Bishop E. G. Andrews, of New York, in the

An inventor writes to an English technical

having for its object the assisting Of the
working man to bring out his own inven-

thousands OF ideas that are allowed to
langulsh and to lapse because their origi-

portunlty to put them in practical shape.

rs to boycott the marshals and the 20 men
In tne district who petition for them. That
Is about the extent of any boycott that may
Dc introduced. As to boycotting Northern
produce, that is all nonsense. There is too
much Northern capital interviewer in South
ern industries to render this possible.
Is absurd, too, to suppose that the
South can do without Northern produce. 1t
must have it, and cannot afford to boycott
It. A few small traders might try it on, but
they would soon have to give way to their
rivals, who would be quick to see their ad-
vantage and buy here"

TOM ooRw1rs FUN.
He Always BInmed His Wit for His Failure
TO Soar Highcr.

TO Soar Higher.
There is something pathetic in the failure
Of the wits of political life. Thomas Corwin
never ceased to attribute to his reputation
of being funny his inability to compass the
highest honors. He felt that his abilities
and services entitled him to any honor
within the gift of the people. He rose to be
Secretary of the Treasury in Fillmore's
cabinet, but that did not satisfy him.
He died feeling that if he had not been SO
funny, if he had not indulged in his ex-
ouisite ridicule of the Michigan militia
general who attacked General Harrison, he
might have been President. Corwin was
immeasurably greater than his reputation,
and his fun almost always helped out
his serious argument

One of the most essential acCOmmoda-
lions to a community where the lovers of

where gentlemen can resort to in order
to satisfy the inner man. This can truly
be said of the Mahncke Hotel Bar, which
under the able management OF its pres
ent proprietor, Mr.. Otto Fielder. young
gentleman of the truest qualitiest, who
has drawn to the establishment what is
and may be justly stated, the cream of
the trade of San Antonio, of lovers of
good wines liquors and cigars. A few
words i'll regard to Mr.. Fielder. He is
one of the enterprising, progressive
young men of our CITY, and is endowed
with a great large liberal heart, giving
with the greatest freedom to objects
worthy the attention of our citizens.

business and professional men, and the
great success he is meeting with comes
as matter Of fact.

An important house bill has passed the

that railroad employees who have worked

some one kicks out again, and then the

The W0rId.

Florida Times Union, Jacksonville.
The World last night. Everybody was
we'll pleased at the company excellent
performance.
J. q. Little's World company played
to large and appreciatIve audience in
the Park opera house last night, and
the actors succeeded in carrying the
audience with them in their narrowing
positions. The stage settings and scenic
effects were splendid, and the best which
the Jacksonville theater-goers have seen
this season. The sinking ship and raft
scenes were most realistic and pleasing.
The parts were all well taken and
prettily played, to the manifest satisfac-
ton of all spectators.
Thomas Coleman, IN his Irish charac-
ter, furnished the comedy part of the
play, and his every appearance was
signal for outbuTsts of laughter. Miss
Dora Berkeley made charming heroine,
playing her part in most artistic manner.
Miss Mabel Norton played her soubrette
part most prettily, Gustave Nesville,
as the hero. Harry Elliston made hit
and won for himself the lions share of
applause.
