A Felon Cure.

An old sufferer from felons thus tells
how to get rid of them: ~ was engaged
in marking iron with white lead and
tulpentine, and having felon coming
on my finger dipped it frequently into
the mixture. AS tho iron was quite
warm which was marking at the time,
| found the next morning that there was
a small yellow spot where l felt the
felon. | opened this, and had no more
trouble from it. Tho next time felt
one coming l procured some turpentine
and bathed the part affected frequently
and held it near a warm surface to dry,
with the Same result as at first. Since
then l have used it several times, always
with the same result. New York Jour

NY PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM.

Ye front each other, face to face,
Dear friends of long ago;
Your air serene but commonplace
Your costume comme II faut.
Since ev'ry smirk aud ev'ry smile
Came first beneath my ken.
~Tis moro than just little while:
We oil werc younger then
Tom, Dick and Harry meet my gaze-
How much liked the threoi
As thick were we in early days
As four could ever be
But why expect the glow Of youth
From silvery headed meni
'Tis true, although 'tis bitter truth,
We oil wcro younger then
All, Mary Ann and Emma jana
My flames Of other days!
Alternately, although in vain,
For you woye my lays
by fate my hopes were overset
(It boots not how or when),
Your married names quite forget
Wc all wcrc younger then.
Some GRANT stars are gathered hero
Who nightly lit the stage;
But very few to mcm'ry dear,
Though lost to sight and age.
Do many look SO lovely nowy
Nay, hardly one in ten.
My Grant stars, you must allow
We all were younger then
But let mo not noroscly brood,
Old "Chronos" o'er thy flight,
And waste, in sourly cynic mood.
My hours by day or night
Dear friends merely pause to say-
Before drop my pen
And put your photographs away

The Thinncss of Gold.

Gold beaters, by hammering, can re-
duce gold leaves tosuch minute thinness
that $4,000 must be laid upon each
other to produce tho thickness of an
inch. Yet each leaf is SO perfect and
free from holes that one of them laid on
any surface, as in gliding. gives the ap-
pearance of solid gold. They are so thin
that if formed into book 1850 would
only occupy the space of single leaf Of
book paper. A single volume Of gold
leaf book ono inch in thickness would
have as many pages as an entire library
OF 800 volumes Of common books, even
though the volumes averaged 40C pages

We wish somebody would give us a

of churches. By the time religious
service on Sunday is half through the

about ventilation as they are about the

IMPORTANT CASES.
New Trial Granted in the Case Against
A. G. Rintieman.
Basis OF the Case-The Arguments In the Sud-
dsth Case Concluded-The Grand
Jury at Work.

Immediately upon the opening OF dis
triet court yesterday morning Judge
Beckhsm took up the application for
new trial in the case of A. G. Rintleman,
The application was granted. The ap-
plication for new trial was based upon
affidavits made by three of the jurymen
who brought in the verdict of guilty, who
swore that the jury in its deliberations
took into consideration extraneous matter
that had not been sddueed in evidence
on the trial. Judge Beckham spoke
rather sharply of the conduct of the jury.
At $3.50 o'clock Rintleman was released
from jail on bond OF $4,000.
The case of the state VS.. Suddeth,
charged with murder, was resumed, and
the argument consumed the day, ad-
dresses being made by Messrs. Gillespie,
Ayres and Pendleton for the state and
Camp and Furman for the de-
fense. The arguments were of unusual
strength and merit. 1t was q few
minutes after o clock when the jury
retired and nothing has been heard from
them since.
A side issue to the Suddeth case was
the arrest by Deputy Sheriff Jim Maddox
yesterday morning of J. d. Rawls on a
charge of perjury, an indictment having
been found by the grand jury. He was
released on bond. The charge rests
upon RawIs' statements regarding hay-
ing seen the Chrisman killing.
The grand jury was in session during
yesterday. Before adjourning that
body will consiner the killings which
have occurred recently in Fort Worth
and Arlington. Yesterday they were at
work on the Ditto Brinson affair. and
examined numerous witnesses to the
killing.
On account of the crowded condition of
the criminal docket, the non-jurv civil
docket VIII not be called again during
this term of the district court.

NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT.

NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT.
1t is considered by many as rather
strange that while arranging for the
partition of African territory, neither
England or Germany had the politeness
or fairness to consult the natives about
1t. Such talk is nonsensical. Why
should savagss be consulted about it?
No one consults with child as to the
need for its education. Unless barbarism
and savagery have the same rights as
civilization and enlightenment, and
should therefore be permitted to -four
ish in undiminished yigor. there is no
wrong done in the invasion and even the
appropriation of the territory so cursed.
If there is, and such an invasion Is
wrong, then evangelization among bar
barians is wrong; the effort to cIvilize
them is wrong, and any attempt to alter,
change or reyolutionize their manners,
customs and creeds are wrong, since if
they have any of the rights claimed by
and allowed to enlightend people, they
have them all. If they have, what right
had Stanley to go among African tribes,
making treaties with some land declaring
war against others, and in a thousand
ways intruding upon and violating the
customs of the natives. Tippoo lib
would be equally justified in coming over
here and running amuok through
the states under the pretense that be was
unacquainted with their extent, their
geography and the habits and customs of
the people Yet who does not praise
Stanley for what he did among the saw
ages, many of whom he put to death in
carrying out his plans. Unless Stanley
did wrong in gong among the natives as
he did, the European nations now COB
bling up that territory for useful pur-
poses are not doing anything very bad.
Their invasion is the logical outcome of
previous explorations. Livingstone,
Baker, Stanley and others were only
pioneers who blazed the way for future
conquest. In no other way than con-
quest and the introduction of civilized
methods among the natives can barbar-
ism be baushed and the natural resources
of the country be made available. This
means the immigration of thousands from
Europe ready and able to cope with bar
barism in Its native lair, the only place
in which it can be met and successfully
dealt with. savages and cannibals have
very few if any rights which civilized ma
tons are bound to respect. Hence the
reason why those nations don { consult
them about the invasion OF their terri

4 FATAL SHOT.
An Infatuated Father and His Two Sons
Follow Up Young Man and Kill
Him-The Sons in Jail.

srecial TO the Gazette.
MOUNT VERNON, TEX, June 2J.-
This morning about O'Clock W. R..
Ryburn shot and killed one J. D. VIII
liams about five miles southwest Of this
place. The particulars ara about as
follows: Williams, who is a young and
unmarried man, made q crop with Ry-
burn, who is q married man and has
some children about grown. Not q
great while ago it was rumored that
Williams had been making some SIAN
derous remarks about Ryburn's daugh-
ter, who Is about sixteen years of age,
which came to the ears of Ryburn few
days ago and Drought about q difficulty
between Ryburn and Williams, at which
Ryburn knocked Williams down aud
stamped him considerably. After the
difficulty Ryburn bought Williams part
of the crop with the understanding that
he (Willlams) was to leave the county,
and Ry burn charged Williams particu-
larly that if he did not leave before this
morning he would kill him. Yesterday
Williams came to town and made some
preparations to leave to-day. After
leaving town he went out In the neigh
borhood of RyDurn with young man by
the name of Bexley to remain all night.
This morning young Bexley had to come
TO town, but before doing SO had to go to
his fathers, and Williams went with
Vim. In going to Bexley's they were
compelled to pass Ryburn IS house. When
Ryburn saw them he sent his two sons
out to borrow guns. All three went to
ovsrtake them. They arrived at Bex-
ley's after Williams and young Bexley
had started to this place. Ryburn asked
which way they had gone, but Bexley
refused to tell him, and tried to persuade
Ryburn not to follow them, but all in
vain. Ryburn and his two boys all hav-
ing guns, followed after Williams and
BeXley, happening to take the right
road. Ryburn did not go very far until
he overlook the boys, and got very close
to them before they were observed, when
w. R. Ryburn, without giving them
warning, fired one shot at Williams,
which took effect in his head little
above his ear. Williams rode short DIS
lance and fell from his horse. There being
a house near by, the neighborhood was
were soon aroused and after getting
there carried him to the house,
where he soon expired without speaking
one word. After the killing Ryburn's
sons went in the direction of home and
W. r. Ryburn went in another direc-
ton. AS soon as Sheriff Langston
learned of the killing he went in pursuit,
but at last accounts had not arrested
Ryburn or his boys. This is matter
greatly deplored, as Ryburn had great
many friends in this county. Williams
is native of Tennessee, and has father
living in Lexington, Tenn, and a
brother somewhere in this state, both of
whom were wired to-day.
Later.-The sheriff came IN this even
ing with the two sons of Ryburn and
placed them in jail. The father could
not be found.

REPLY TO IAIBODEN.
Who Have Saved g Dollar Out Of Their
Earnings.
DALLAS, TEX. June 20, 1890.

DALLAS, TEX, June 20, 1890.
To the Gazette.
have read the open letter of Mr.. W.
NJ. Imboden written from Rusk, Tex,
to the Hon. Gustave Cook IN your
issue of to-day, and beg leave to reply to
that part of it in which he supposes that
and the mortgage company managed
by me are in favor of the abolition of the
homestead law in this state, but desire to
preface my reply by saying that 1 must
account for the silence of this man who
has had so many private conversations
with Judge Cook and others to this late
day in this heated campaign by the pc
culiar place of his residence. l did not
know before that he was in Rusk and 1
suppose he can now dub himself true
East Texas patriot of the striped Hogg
species.
Mr.. Imboden says that In 1887 he was
in favor of public schools and homestead
exemptions, but does not give us his
views upon these questions now. AS for
myself, 1 am now and have for years
been on record as fayoriug liberal pub
lie school policy and homestead eXemp-
tions, and / have not had any occasion TO
reconstruct my views on account of my
present business, aud I presume that
can afford to be quite as patriotic in the
position / occupy as my friend Imboden
is in his. The fact is, 1t cannot be denied
that the mortgage companies doing BUSH
ness in Texas have done more to reduce
rates of interest here than any other fac
tor, and very large per cent. of the
business of mortgage companies is TO ex-
nd vendors liens upon HON esteads in
cities and country, and would not be
afraid to leave the decision of this ques-
ton, attempted to be brought into this
campaign by Mr.. Imboden, to the thous-
and or more persons we have ourselves
accommodated in this way. l will also
add that know of no member of my COM
pany who is either opposed to schools
or homestead exemptions; although 1t
is fact that do not know their opin-
ions upon these questions as we have
never had. the desire or necessity of dis
cussing them in The light suggested by
Mr.. Imboden. This side thrust of Mr..
Imboden at me comes from the exuber-
ance of that sentiment injected into this
campaign by Mr.. Imboden's associates
in arraying the masses of the people of
the state against people who have or who
are supposed to have dollar saved out
of their earnings of several years labor.
! shall not of course undertake to say
anything for Judge Cook, as he is nov
engaged in discussing these very ques-
tions before the people of the state and
do not think that even he is called upon
himself to notice this fresh effusion from
East Texas. BRYAN ID. BAR RY.
