fire this morning. Only the bare
walls of the building remain. For a

the tiremen saved the hotel and got
control of other adjacent buildings
and rescued the guests of the hotel.
Nobody was killed, nor was any one

HAVING secured the favorable re-
port of the United States engineers
on a deep water harbOr, Galveston is
demonstrating her business sense by
paying little heed to the press COM
ments made anent that report. She
understands that the work of secur-
ing the appropriation is now in order
and will require all the influence she
can command. That influence will
cost money. 1t will cost strong lob
by at the national capital and a vast
amount of work which cannot be done
on wind. With S6,2OO,OOO in sight,
Galveston has an incentive to hard
work which will try the temper and
capacity of her deep water committee.
The prize is we'll worth contending
for, and as it means life or death to
the Island city, she will toot her horn
for every clam she has in the basket.

THE Hillsboro Mirror rises to the
dignity of the situation when it 1e-
marks as truthfully as pointedly:
"The farmer is the one that suffers
most from these miserable, abomina-
BILE roads of ours, and if he would just
rise up and raise Cain generally about
them they would be improved. Texas
never will have any better roads with
the present kind of a road law. A
sensible law should be the first thing
to work for, and then we can have
some hopes of getting good roads"
This last legislature was popularity
supposed to be granger legislature,
but it gave the road business the
grand bounce. The farmers should
see to it that the road plank is in the
platform and then elect men who, as
party representatives, will legislate
according to platform.

in diameter. and when fully grown much
resembles our own apple tree of from 10
to 10 years standing Ordinarily the
lower branches begin to bend as the tree
grows old, the wood being very timber
and pliable, and soon form themselves
into the shape of gigantic umbrella.
many of the branches reaching the
ground The bark is whitish and rather
tough; the leaves much resemble those
of citron tree. AS it always grows in
tropical ATTITUDES it continues green
throughout the year, never being entirely
bare of leaves. Blossoms and green and
ripe fruit may be seen on the coffee tree
at any season of the year. When the
blossom falls off there remains in its
place small fruit. green at first, which
becomes red as il ripens, not unlike a
large cherry, and very good TO eat. Un-
der the flesh of this berry, instead Of a
stone, Is found the seed we call coffee,
wrapped in fine thin skin. The bean
is then soft and very unpalatable, but
becomes harder asst ripens, and the dried
up flesh or pulp, which was edible when
young and tender, becomes shell OF a
dark brown color, and the berry a waxy
transparent green. Each shell contains
one berry. which when separated forms
