The alleged departure Of Messrs. Dillon and

A Steak That Cos. 2 10000.

The trip Of George Francis Train
around the world has recalled some of
hiseccentTic doings when he was wealthy.
Nearly twenty-five years ago he was il
Denver and had called for beefsteak for
breakfast, insisting that he wanted it
broiled. It came to him fried. He
abused the waiter and the cook, but he
got no satisfaction, and finally swallow
ing his anger and a portion of the steak
wandered out into the Office, where he
met the proprietor. The subject Of the
steak was discussed between them in
animated language for a few minutes,
when Train suddenly asked: Say. what
will you take for this hotel and get out
today? You don't know how to run Il
hotel" The proprietor named $45, 900 as
his price, which was a figure far above
its real value. "AIl right" said Train;
IN take it. Make out the papers at
once and Twill make out o check for the
amount" The hotel was duly trans
ferred to Train, who discharged the
waiter and the cook, ran the establish
ment for two weeks, called in an auc.
tioneer and sold out everything to the
highest bidder. When he settled ul
with the man Of the red flag he found
that he had paid just $50, 900 for that
fried steak.-New York Press.

Iuspection Of Summer Resorts.

In choosing a resort for summer M
does not omit questions as to how far it
is to church Or station, whether 6 O'clock
dinner is served or there are spring mat
tresses on each couch-matters of Just
interest and comfort. But add such per-
tinent inquiries as these: Do you serve
oatmeal OF cracked wheat for breakfast?
Can l have brown bread and fruit three
lines a day? Have you 4 weter filter in
good condition? How far is the well or
the water supply from the cesspool and
drains? And last, but not least, have
you a well ventilated earth closet? All
boarding houses and summer resorts
should be visited monthly by a sanitary
inspector with power to enforce neces-
sary improvements for the health of in
mates. The Catskills and the north
shore demand supervision in this way
just as much as Mulberry street, Baxter
street and South Fifth avenue, those
flowers Of the slums.-Shirley Dare il

The King of Dahonley.

The king of Dahomey is a man of edu-
cation and accomplishments. He was
reared in Paris, and much money was
spent and careful attention lavished
upon his instruction. But in an evil
hour he fell in love with u Partisan beau
ty, and because she would not have him
the young man made up his mind that
the life of IL barbarian was preferable to
that of u civilized and enlightened be-
ing. He babe eternal adieu. therefore,
to the classics, the arts and the sciences,
and ~zealously set himself to the pursuit
of a barbarian career. His most remark
able reform as king Of Dahomey was to
surround himself with a bodyguard OF
strapping women, regular amazons who
rode horseback man fashion, used the
bow and spear and welded the battle
Ak with singular dexterity. His majesty
has q theory that these women are bet
ter fighters than men. and are more like
ly to be loyal to his interests. A contin-
gent of these amaZo2s is to be brought
to London soon and shown to the public
in the French exhibition now in course
of preparation in that city. Berlin

was told upon good authority that
Walter Damrosch's income was now not
less than $4,000 a year. which for a
young man barely 80 years of age, and a
musician at that, is not doing badly.
Notwithstanding that he does the work
of two men as assistant director at the
opera house and conductor of his two
societies, he finds time to give every
winter a number of musical lectures
upon his favorite composer, Wagner.
He first began to give his now famous
Wagner lectures in the parlors of rich
New Workers who wished to entertain
their friends, but such was the demand
for tickets that for the last two years
they have been held III public halls once

Lost His Clothes.

A well known young calico jerker for
sdry goods house in this city secured q
bewitching bathing costume from below
q few days ago, and privately informed
q few of the boys that he was going up
the creek to wet it" on the following
night, and that was just where he was
wrong. Whether the boys were jealous
or whether they objected to the devia-
ton from long established rules Of Chico
swimming holes we cannot determine;
at any rate they laid for their comrade
when he appeared in his gay pink and
white costume.
The wcttirg was all right. but when
he came in ont of the wet he found to his
horror that his store clothes had disap-
peared, and I'll search was unavailing.
He sat around bewailing his fate, and
finally struck for home just as he was.
The boys. though, had posted a num-
Der of the urchins of the burg. and when
he hove in sight of of the well trav-
eled streets twenty kids, real live Amer
lean kids, hailed him with a rich vocab-
ulary of slang.
"Say, look at the Chico guard with
his fuQny pants"
"Geto onto de Chinaman, fellers. Who's
got a tomato?'
"Look 1T the Turk"
"You get a nickel if you hit it in the
neck"
The poor clerk started in on a run, and
was followed all the way homo by a
yelling crowd of boys. He found on his
arrival his clothes neatly done up in a
bundle and an explanatory note from
ode gang" The ccstume-well, that's
gone to the poor.-Chico Enterprise.

Watching the flames dance bright and

How fair and sweet she looks tonight.
How wistful, yet nov strangely shy!
'Tis joy to watch love kindling light
That leaps and sparkles in her eye.

To lots and lots of other fellows;

And talk and laugh, and toast "marsh.

A Singular NIishap.

On Tuesday morning Sam Low,
the 16-year-old son OF Mr., 7. A.
Low, came down to his fathers
lumber yard after a ball-faced pony,
which he was accustomed to riding,
to drive up some mules out of the
pasture. All at once while running
the mules at full tilt Re fell from the
pony, which was stopped short in his
tracks by the lad. Mrs. Low hap
pened to be Watching her son when
he fell, and noticing that he did not
alise, she called for help and went
in the pasture after him. He Was
found in an unconscious condition,
but no limbs were bro ell and no Sc.
rious bruises were visible. He was
ed to TIE house and remained I'M
conscious for an hour. But the
most Singular feature about his mis-
h; } is, that while he has recovered
consciousness he cannot remember
anything that has happened in the
past. He has no recollection of
having gone to his fathers Office af-
ter the horse or of having chased
the mules OF anything else that he
did or that TRANSFERRED prior to and
just up to the time of the accident.

An Acceptable Rain.

Saturday dawned cloudy and MUIR
ky in town, and at 9 o'clock rain be-
gan to fall, accompanied by vivid
flashes of Lightning. At times the
rain fell in gentle, steady form like a
silent April shower, and at other
times 1t fell heavier and almost in
sluices and was accompanied with
some wind. While the rain was not
badly needed it was not at all amiss
and proved very acceptable to t.ose
about town who have gardens, VIII e
the farmers were not Gispleased at
seeing it come. It lasted at :1ter-
vals for little over two hours. 1t

were very dark and angry looking
towards the northeast. Mr.. Eow-

A short time ago a party from

lex, who used to be quite a ward pc,
liticai striker there and followed the
business of a notary public and
sometimes taught school, made his
appearance in Brennan. He claimed
to be deputy United States mar
shall and a member of the San An
tonic Protective and Detective asso-
citation, in proof of which he exhib-
tied nickel-plated badge pinned on
the inside of his coat, but never
stated what the object of his bust
ness was. He called at the BANNER
Office two or three times, being an
acquaintance of the reporter, and
wanted him to indorse for him at
the First National bank. The re-
porter refused, but finally agreed to
identify him as a party whom he
knew in San Antonio as Frank Fred
erick. On the strength of this mere
Identification and without indorse-
ment Frederick then trie1 to Dor
row money at the bank, but failed.
He succeeded, however, in borrow
ing small amounts from some of the
local saloon-keepers, since when he
has left the city and forgot to return
the loans. In Sundays Galveston
News Sheriff Bexley, of Lee county,
offers a reward for Frederick's ar
rest, stating that he is under indict-
ment in the district court. 1t is not
stated what he is under Indictment

A Candidate for District Attorney.

Beauregard Bryan, ESQ.,, is the
second candidate to announce for of.
fee at the coming fall election in
the columns Of the BANNER. As will
be seen by the announcement, he is
a candidate for the Office of district
attorney, subject to the action of the
democratic nominating convention.
Major Sam G. Ragsdale, the present
incumbent, declines in his favor to
be a candidate for reelection, and
Col. I. II. Bowers, of Lee county,
who has been spoken of as candi-
date for the place, has also declined
the race and is already announced
in his home paper as candidate for
reelection to the Office of county at
torney of Lee county. Mr.. Bryan
enters the race, therefore, for district
attorney under favorable auspices,
and it goes without saying that
if elected he would make an able
prosecuting attorney. He is a young
man of brilliant attainmeLt is, of great
activity and of indomitable courage
the two last of which are SO essential
to successful prosecuting officer of

He Died Suddenly.

On Saturday night while Mr.. Geo
Campbell, night Waterman at the
Brennan compress, was off at sup.
per he got George Crawford, an old
colored employee, to remain on duty
in his stead, and when he returned
an hour later from supper he found
the darkey lying near tie entrance
dead. There were no marks of vic
lence about his person, and it was
evident that he died natural death,
although the physician who was
summoned could not say what was
the immediate cause of death. Some
time ago he received a serious inter
nal rupture, which greatly impaired
his health and strength, and, be-
sides, he was addicted to excessive
drinking and was subject to epilep-
tic fits. The charir in which Mr..
Campbell had left him seated was
kicked back and there was evil
dence of struggle as if in an cpl
leptic fit. Judge Curry held an in
quest and returned a verdict of
death from natural causes.
