GALVESTON il beside herself with low
over the Presidents signature to the bill
which means IN the end an expenditure Of
over 100000 for the improvement Of her
barber. She sees bright vista of CONNER
eial greatness loom up as soon as seagoinq
vessels can come directly to her docks. She
has reason for such hopes. The Empire State
of Ie1as-which is larger than any of the
great countries Of Europe, except Russia
khould and win have great entryport on
the Gulf Galveston is probably the best
place for such port If deep-wster chan
mel Can be secured TO the open sea.

THE most noble Marquis of Lansdowne "
has begun the eviction Of his tenants who
cannot pay the rent, or even keep away
starvation, on account Of the absolute failure
of the potato crop. His example is being
followed by other equally "noble" land
lords, and so, with over 10000 people who
know not where to lay their heads or get a
mouthful TO eat, poor old Ireland is again
THE most distress ed country that ever YOU have
geen."

ANOTHER source of wealth has been found
in Alaska, which viii stiffen up our asser-
ton Of exclusive control of Boring Sea. 1t
has been discovered that the codfshing in
and around Bristol Bay is as valuable as
that of Newfoundland. There are also i'm
mense quantities of salmon and halibut
This means that we shall have n community
of fishermen in Alaska and along the Pacific
Coast equal in numbers TO that in New
England There the boot will be on the
other leg with regard to Canadian and other
foreign fishermen, for we own the shores,
and all the waters in which the fish are
found are distinctly within our territory, so
that We can keep everybody out but our own
citizens

encounter Sheridan's 10000. In the same
way Sherman had 100, 900 men, of whom he
lost 10000, while Johnston had but $4,000.
Hood won great victory in front of An
lanta, capturing many guns, colors and
prisoners, but was unable to fol-
low up his successes, and finally was COM
PEELED to retire TO the Notifications of At
lanta." Then, Hood, at Franklin, on the
S0th of November, defeated detachment of
the Federal army, and then besieged Gen.
Thomas Mt Nashville. Thomas, however,
having been reinforced by two corps from
Sherman's army, attacked Hood on the 18th
of December, routed him, took 1900 pris-
oners, and drove the remains Of his army
into Alabama"
1t is claimed that when Lee was forced to
evacuate Petersburg his army had been re-
duced to 10000 men.

1t is simply mOnstrous that such work
as this be allowed to poison the fountain of
youthful knowledge. 1t saps the very
foundations of law and Government, for
every page admonishes the youthful reader
as to how much more honorable, even glori-
Gus, it was to have fought against the Gov
eminent than to have supported it. From
first to last it is eulogy of treason and n
glorification of rebellion, with sneers and
denunciations for everything loyal and
faithful.

A VERY dangerous cigar holder has appeared
in the market 1t claims to be made of " Chi
nese amber" and looks very much like the
genuine amber. Really, II is made of celluloid,
the dangerous compound of gun-cotton and
camphor. The taste of the camphor is disa-
greeably perceptible when the cigar is smoked,
but this is not the dangerous part. The COM
pound is as infammable az turpentine, and the
holder is liable TO burst into flames in the
smokers mouth, and injure him terribly.

THE Nineteenth Century, a leading English
review, insists, with some truth, that the
rapid extension of our railroads and the
lowering of their freight rates have impov-
erished English farmers. The Nineteenth
Century does not go far enough, that is ALL
Undoubtedly our railroads had much TO do
with cheapening farm products, but the
building of steamship lines TO South Amer
lea and Australia, and the construction of
great railways in Russia and India, and the
opening of the Suez Canal were powerful
factors in reducing the profits of the English
farmer. All these brought cheaper grain
and meat to England, and reduced the prices
in the markets of Europe.

CAPT. Charles King tells story that would
be applicable TO Cooper, Of Indiana. Among
the laundresses at the post was vile tongued
virago, whom we will call Mrs. Grady. Once,
in rage, she called the estimable wife of n
First Sergeant "A thafe." The Colonel inter
fered and ordered that Mrs. Grady should re-
tract and apologize, or leave the post at once
Mrs. Grady had to succumb. Brought face to
face with the injured woman, she said:
" Mrs Burns, / called ye thafo. 1t wuzn't
thruo, aud | hev TO take it back and say Dim
sorry for it, but ye her rid hair AID ye sqnts like
a bag I"
So Mr.. Cooper cannot show a particle OF
truth in any one of his charges against Gen.
Raum but he insists that his refrigerator is
worthless

How readily the American mind adapts itself
to all conditions of soil and climate. Out in
Nevada, for example, one would think they
would be utterly at a loss for signs as to the
coming Winter. They can't rely on the musk
rats to furnish signs There arc thousands of
square miles so dry that muskrat would have
no more chance than an original package agent
in n Prohibition Convention. Squirrels are
almost as scarce, for sago-brush bears neither
acorns nor beech nuts. and the corn husks are
always so thin that the hardest Winter cannot
make change in their texture But the fertile
minded Nevadians come proudly to the front
with the announcement that it will be mild
Winter, because tho sage-hens are six-weeks
behind in their sitting" Such people de-
serve to have two Senators and a Representa-
tive, for the population of Township.

THE Republicans Of the Thirtieth (Roch-
ester New York District have placed in
nomination Hon John Van Voorhis to sue
seed Capt. Chas S. Baker. Mr. Van Voohis
represented the District in the Forty six tn
and FOrty-seyenth Congresses, and made a
fine record for ability and close attention to
public business. He took particular interest
in all matters pertaining to the veterans, and
was indefatigable in everything that looked
toward the advancement Of their interests.
He did an immense amount of hard and
very effective work in securing individual
veterans the justice to which they were en-
titled, and his ability usually compelled
success. He is a splendid lawyer, man of

Santa Claus Headquarters.

The patron saint of all good girls
and boys at this season of the year
is holding forth, as usual, at the Up
Town book store, where the bewilder-
ment of selections for the holidays
makes it the double attraction that
it is. What with wheeled vehicles,
horses, games, ETC., for the registering
boys; dolls, furniture, blocks, trunks,
crockery sets, etc., for their sisters,
or somebody else's; fine leather
goods, desks, work boxes, manicure
sets, newest styles of vases, ETC., to-
gether with the daintiest of ivorine
Christmas cards, additional to
Prang's seasonable novelties, are cal
culated for children of older growth.
But Mr.. Thrum's provision for the
Christmas season, while varied and
attractive, is always strong in books.
The managers personal selection
during his recent visit to the Coast
has brought together the choicest
obtainable for all ages, and the
attractiveness of books for the young
are marvels of cheapness and of the
printing and engraving art.

MENDELSSOHN.

Mr.. r. NJ. English Delivers Lecture
on the Great Composer at the Y. VI.
C. A. Hall.
There was quite large audience
at the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall yesterday
evening to hear the lecture on Men
delssohn by Mr.. F. NJ. English, B.A.
Oxon. The lecture was exceedingly
interesting throughout. Mendel-
ssohn was the son of Abraham Men
delssohn, banker, and grandson OF
Moses Mendelssohn, the eminent
philosopher. He was born at Ham
burg, February 3rd, 1909, and
died November 4th, 1S47 His won
derful talents opened and ripened
early, for in his eighth year he
played the piano with remarkable
facility, and he disclosed an astonish-
ing power of criticism. He was very
intimate with Goethe, which was of
much advantage to him. AS con-
ductor, virtuoso and composer he
was great. His one absorbing aspira
ton through life was the promotion
of his divine art.
The lecture sketched Mendels
sohn's early life, his visits to Eng
land and his travels in Europe in a
most interesting manner, not forget
ting to speak of his many wonderful
compositions.
The lecture was illustrated with
several of Mendelssohn's compost
tions, both vocal and instrumental,
which were most delightfully."- inter
preted by number of our leading
local artists.

NIinna, the Adventures.

Mrs. Berkeley, who plays Minna,
displays talent of great merit. She
realises to the fullest extent the I'M
scrupulous, handsome vixen, who
after breaking the spirit of couple
of husbands, has enough devil in her
to set the castle by the ears. Nothing
finer of its kind can be seen than
the way in which she dominates
the servants, the lord and the law
yer, and spreads dismay around her,
until she trips herself up, in the net
work of her own falsehoods, and falls
into such an ecstasy of spiteful fury,
that Shylock or st. Giles over reach,
might take lesson from her Mel
