Hold Their Third Meeting at the Residence Of
the Misses Duffield.
The meeting of the 1. F. F. Whist
club last evening at the residence Of
the Misses Duffield was attended with
that marked degree of pleasure and
enjoyment that has marked the pre-.
vious meetings. AS practice makes
perfect in playing whist as in other
things so the members of the club
from constant playing, are becoming
more proficient, and necessarily the
game proves more interesting. The
Misses Dufield were most cordial in
their welcome and added not a little
to the pleasures of the evening by
their solicitous care for each of their
guests. Delicate refreshments were
served which added much to the even
ings enjoyment.

THE STATES INSTITUTIONS.

The Institutes for the Deaf and
Dumb and the Blind have this year
both started under better auspices
than ever before. According to the
statement OF DR.. Rainey, that most
successful superintendent of the blind
institute, the outlook for the present
session is superior to any preceding
term of the school. There will be a
larger number of pupils. and they
enter upon the term with a zest sell
dom seen in any school.
The session OF the institute for the
deaf and dumb, 80 we'll and eff
GENTLY conducted by Superintendent
Kendall, also bids fair to be the most
flourishing the school has ever exper-
fenced. There will be thirty light
new pupils and one point that ought
to be observed by parents is that SC
healthy is the location that pu-
pills coming from malarial Sec
tons of the state, suffer-
ing with chills, invariably recover in
short time without medicine.
Last but not least the University
soon to open for the term is substan-
TALLY growing in influence and repu-
tation. The prospects for the session
are excellent, and backed by the grea
state of Texas, equipped with some o.
the ablest scientific minds to be hac
in the country-in languages, mathe.
MATES, law, sciences and other de
partments-the building Of our stat
University into the great centre o
learning of the southwest is but {
matter Of time, and not a very loni
period either.

OUR boys and girls who study
astronomy if they will watch tonight
will see a beautiful sight in the west
ern heavens, the conjunction of the
moon and the planet Venus, which
swings around the sun at distance Of
100000 miles. If they will look at the
planet through a telescope, she will
appear horned pretty much like the
moon although her phases ale invisi
BILE to the naked eye. The conjunc-
ton will take place q little to the
right of the constellation of the scor,

milky way and whose head appears as
if in the act of gobbling up both
Venus and the moon.

OUR LEGISLATORS.

Most loan associations employ law
vers to put out their money on the
farmers lands. Thu Sc lawyers receive
large fees loaning money to the farm
ers, and large number of these un-
fortunate farmers who have been COM
PEELED to borrow money by giving
mortgages on their farms cannot pay
the debt when it is due. These same
lawyers make still another fee out OF
these poor men when they foreclose
these mortgages. All good lawyers
are employed by the organized capital
to look after their interests.
This identifies them with organized
capital and monopolies; this makes
them unfit subjects to make either
federal or state laws.
This can be easily proved by past
legislation. In the Forty-tifth Con
gress there were 274 lawyers, q bank
ers and only farmers.

1T is stated that fourteen Republi-

his brutal and vulgar conduct on the

THINK ABOUT AUSTIN.

In the days that are gone-those
good old days when "cattle was king"
and when Austin was headquarters of
the great cattle men of Texas, we had
a stock fair that brought here many
visitors ard was the occasion OF many
reunions and jolly good and instruc-
tive times. What stands in the way
of revivifying those good old days and
browning them with added glory and
profit? The fair grounds of that day
are to be developed into one OF the
finest parks in the State, but other
grounds can be selected. Just north
west of town two miles up the river
will soon be the outlet of one of the
most beautiful inland lakes in the
world. Along its banks and
upon its placid bosom what
feast of pleasure and profit await
us if only we do the proper thing
take advantage of the privileges
and facilities nature and our deter
mined purpose will have wrought out
for us. The fair as usually.conducted
has become a hackneyed thing-and
some other magnet can with better
results be selected, and among these
sources of pleasure and profit the
Chautauqua naturally at once sug,
gests itself. Along the banks of that
lake, and near the tremendous hotels
that there will spring up SHOULD
be located the "great Chautauqu'
of the South" furnishing a feas
of reason to which would annually
flock tens of thousands OF visitors.

Philadelphia RECORD.
"Money against manhood" That, in
BRIEF is the issue of the day as defined
by ex-Secretary Bayard in his address in
Wilmington on Saturday night. That
Mr.. Bayard has not exaggerated the
perils OF plutocracy which menace our
institutions will be admitted by all who
have watched the course OF public events
in recent years--in the elections, in CON
gressional affairs, in the twisting and
turninps of tariff legislation to suit pei
interests, and in the endless multiplied
ton Of trusts buttressed against the tariff
wall. MIR. Bayard views the peril with
the eye of statesman zsalous for the
welfare OF his countrymen. In pointing
out the danger he has performed great
dGty faithfully and bravely. 1t will be
well for the safety of free institutions il
the Republic il his warning words shall
fall on needing ears, and shall so arouse
the country's sense Of manhood that gov
ernment OF the people, by the people
shall not be subverted by the goyernmen
OF "a piutocracy.

TIE yANDEEB1Lr CHILDREN.
How They are Educated End
Traimon-Pfafuues OF Habit

How They are Educated End
Trained-PIainness OF Habit
Although all the members OF the Van
derbilt family entertain on a magnificent
acale says writer in the Ladies' HONS
Journal for October, they never permits
their children to remain up late ut night,
ore extremely careful in their education,
and, ia word, are fitting the "a for lie
as we'll as any mother Ut father could do.
Ii ia one of toe rules in oil the HOUSES of
the Vlndsrbilts, that the children shall
90 to bed early and rige early. The Little
boys ana girls are up before 7 O'Clock, in
the morning. Their nurses Immediately
take charge Of them, see tnat they are
properly bathed and dressed, and then
they go down TO breakfast, which il
served OF 7.30 O'Clock. 1t is an unpre-
tentious meal, with plenty of fresh milk,
eggs, oat meal, and a bit Of steak or
chop that will add strength 10 their
physique and color to their oheqks.
After breakfast there is an hour Of study.
There is something for these little ones to
do at all times during the day. They
go through their studies systematically,
and then, about $50, are taken out for
walk. They are allowed to romp in the
streets and in the parks to their hearts,
content. At II O'Clock they are brought
home, and light luncheon Of milk and
bread 10 served, after which there are
more studies-either French, German or
drawsng-Rud then another breathing
spell--it may be horseback riding, or q
drive out through the park and along
the oountry roads. Back they all coma
shout 4 O'Clock, and there is another
hour Of study, and then they are through
for Che day. They are allowed to do
Just ss they please until tea time, when,
after their meal, they spend pleasant
hour or SO with their fathers and mothers
and others who may drop in to call.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock they are all in
bed to sleep soundly, and get up the
next morning and go through the same
programme. So it is not strange that all
the children OF the Vanderbilt family
are further in advance of their little
friends in the matter OF education. For
they study, study, study all the time.
They are all fond of music and most Of
them can play on the piano. The girls
are learning to play on the harp, and the
boys are famous among their friends as
violinists and banjo players. II you
were to see these children on the street,
you would not for q moment suspect that
they were other than children OF parents
IN ordinary circumstances. They make
no display at elaborate dress. The
eldest Of Cornelius Vanderbilt'a daughters
is dressed plainly in little, pretty, cheap
| dresses without any braid or ornamental
ton. She wears snug lifting cloth jackets
aud the little cap that sits gracefully on
her head could be duplicated for couple
of dollars,
