Sacred Hill.
BROoKLYN, Oct ~ This morning Dr.
Talmage delivered his third sermon on his
recent tour il Palestine inthc Academy Of
Music in this city. The large building was
crowded and numbers went away Gisap-

because it had been publicly announced
that the same sermon would he preached

forthat purpose. In spite Of this fact, I'M

doors, both morning and evening. Dr.

not be in the habit of swearing. No.

Many of the presidents have, however,
been able to swear, and did so. jackson
stands pre-eminent for his mouth filling
oaths. His genius for inventing start
ling explosives was extraordinary. With
age, however, his habit of cussing grew
less pronounced, and he generally con-
tented himself with saying, "By the
Eternal!' unless the occasion required
something stronger. Andy johnson cuss-

THE BARBECUE.
PLENTY OF GOOD CHEER AT OATMAN-
VILE YESTERDAY AND A
BIG CROWD.
Which is Drenched With Big Rain and
Pelted by Hail Stones-Speech
by Hon, j. j. Faulk.

The good people living in the neigh
borhood of Oatmanville gave big
barbecue yesterday, which was at
tended by large number OF people.
The barbecued meat was juicy and
well roasted, and visitors and candi-
dates heartily appreciated it.
Especially did the hungry candidates
enjoy the provender set before them.
And it is alleged that jim Hart,
Sheriff White and Col. Holland, who,
10y the way, is not candidate, for a
whole solid hour at the table never a
word said.
They were there to eat, and eat they
did, to the infinite astonishment of
the natives.
About II o'clock there was shower
of rain and at l 80 there was soaker
and gully washer, which together with
considerable hail broke up the bar
bt cue and sent most of the people
home as wet as drowned rats.
During the morning hours Col. j. j.
Faux Of Austin made the speech of
the day, taking the Democratic plat
form adopted at San Antonio as his
text.
He made logical speech dissecting
and expounding in a mastery manner
the platform. He said there were but
two parties-the Democratic and
Republican-and there was no place
for such party as the Independents.
They were neither fish, flesh nor fowl
and were not entitled TO the respect
of either party.
He urged democrats to be true to
their colors and complimented Gen.
Hogg on his fearlessness and states
manship. Mr.. Faux was listened to
with profound attention and made a
good impression.
The committee in charge of the bar
becue was composed OF Messrs. John
ID. Grumbles, j. w. Maddox, N. Now
inckle and A. Trautwein.
The following gentlemen were seen
on the grounds: Messrs. N. A. Daw-
son, Judge Breckenridge, John w.

WEEVIL in CORN.
A New Way Of Getting Rid of the Little
Pests

A New Way Of Getting Rid of the Little
Pests.
A correspondent of the Cuero Bull
letin says: "Take one bushel of COM
mon salt, put in kettle with twenty
five gallons of water; boil half hour,
stirring frequently; then add quar-
ter of pound of saltpeter, and, as
soon as dissolved, take it off, pour it
into barrel and put inside of the
crib; clean your crib good of all trash,
shucks, old corn, ETC., and when you
throw in your first load of new corn
level it and sprinkle it with the solu-
ton from the barrel, using only a
broom or bundle of shucks. BY this
means you will not only keep the
weevil out, but you season every par
ticle. All who try this and have
weevil, can bring their corn to me and
l will pay for it,"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IA, 1890.
Dear Sirs Your telegram notifying
me of the action of the congressional
convention, held at Lampasas on the
5tf. inst, has been received.
The nomination of myself by the
convention being, take it, in pursu-
ance of the wishes of the Democratic
party, properly reflected in conven-
tons regularly held in the several
counties of the district after ample
notice had been given as to the times
and places of their holding, cannot be
considered otherwise than as an en-
dorsement by the party of my course
in Congress, and of its willingness to
entrust me with another term as its
representative in the Federal Congress.
1t would be vain for me to deny
that this manifestation of such gener-
GUS partially and confidence affords
me the greatest satisfaction because in
such manifestation upon the part of
his constituency toward their repre-
sentative is to be found his greatest
solace and reward for the anDoyances,
the trouble and the labor which
always accompany public duties, when
properly and faithfully performed.
l beg, through you, to make known
my acceptance Of the nomination,
with the promise from me that if the
be ratified by the people
at the coming election, 1 will, as here
tofore, discharge every duty which
may devolve upon me, faithfully,
industriously and to the best of my
ability. Yours very truly,

INSURANCE FOR WOMEN.
They are Obliged to Pay Higher Rate
on Their Policies Than Men.

on Their Policies Than Men.
The question of insuring the lives
of women is exciting great deal OF
interest just now. The women claim
that every privilege and advantage
granted to men in the present pro
gressive age should likewise be granted
to women.
A we'll known insurance agent said
the other day:
1--WE insure women, but we have
not made it the feature that it could
be made. We have not sought for
women as we have the men, and on
account of the physical risks which
beset woman we tax her 50 additional
for each $1,000 of insurance. There is
a prospectively large business ahead
for this line of insurance, and if
woman agents would work it up it
would not be long until women would
meet on an equality with men in the
insurance business. We do not limit
our women who insure to the bread
winners, but we can show by our
books many women of wealth. Neither
10 we limit age. We have girls of 10
we have elderly ladies. We have
three young Vassar students who are
insured for $4,000 each, and two mar
Iied women l can recall insured for
100000 each. The additional tax on
women's insurance is retained in some
cases, because it is not generally ac-
copied yet that a woman's life has a
monetary value. And yet the woman
who is partner in her husbands bust
ness, the widow who supports her
family, the daughter who keeps the
wolf from the door, certainly has a
monetary value and it ought to be
recognized. To remedy the evil l
would recommend good trained women
agents to handle this department. 1t
is field of work not yet improved by
the women toilers of the city, and
ought to pay well.
"Single women $40 extra on every
thousand. You see, young women are
great risks. Their health is not reli-
able. They are apt to marry"

young lady in the vicinity.

only S. extra thousand, that is, if
they are women of so or 5hereabouts.
Over that age we grant them the same
privileges as men. Statistics show us
that women who live over 80 years of
age are even better risks than men.
We have special insurance blanks for
women and we deal with them harder
than we do with men. Her morals
must be eminently satisfactory, and
her family history is closely inquired
into. Many an excellent woman,
morally and physically, has been re-
jected by our company on account of
the deficiencies Of her family. We
make no effort to secure women, but
those who apply are courteously
treated, and if they are willing to take
the extra tax we willingly examine
and enroll them" -Pittsburg Leader.

Canses Heated Debate andl Splits the Patri-
otto Alliance.
Mr.. HI. B. Beck, one of the delegates
from Travis county to the State ALI
ance convention at Dallas, returned
last afternoon, and kindly furnished
the STATESMAN with the following.
"The sub-treasury bill split the con-
vention wide open as those of the
members who had gone into The dem
ocratic primaries were not willing to-.
in any way embarrass the San An
tonic platform, or the nominees Of
that convention. After a long and
heated debate, the opposition which
was most ably led by DR.. Maxwell, of
Travis, substitute was passed send
ing the measure back to the sub, ALI
ances for further discussion. The con-
vention contained all shades of politi-
cal opinion and it took hard, earnest
work on the part of those who were
committed to the democracy party to
repress this Paternalistic measure at
this eyentful time.
While DR.. ]. d. Fields was defeated
in the election for president of the
State Alliance, yet Travis county re
ceived her share of honors in the
election of S. G. Cranberry as member
of the executive committee.
DR.. T. o. Maxwell did splendid work
and successfully managed the struggle
to take the sub-treasury bill out of
our present State campaign.
