Can the LIGHT tell me why my watch
differed with those of the city on the 21st
ult A few days berore the last election
an official inquiry, signed by the city
clerk, was sent to presiding officers to
learn the names of those they intended TO
have as clerks and judges or managers Of
election. The presiding officer (my friend}
at Sommer's garden, a largely German
ward, sent in my name, but when, accord
ing to my West End time, got there at
o'clock on election day / was too
late, and the appOintees were deeply
engaged waiting for a voter, | got SO
disguised with my Waterbury | wanted
to trade it off for any double warranted"
trinket at some shop, and for that purpose
came near going TO Mr.. Guerguin'S or one
of his competitors, but am glad did not,
the watch is all right again. II disap-
pointed me at the time. Il have tried my
best to keep from showing it," like in an
other matter a gifted reporter Of our
morning paper said to judge in Frio
county who fined him for contempt, be-
cause he could and would. 1t must be
said in justice to that judge when he re-
flected that to criticiSe public man is
not crime, he not only RENTED the fine
that he had imposed but he invited the
man with the pen to his private dinner.

DisIocated His shoulder.

A negro named A. J. Turner, who cooks
for the Alamo Business college, corner OF
RuSk and East Commerce streets, jumped
off cemetery car number "a, yesterday
morning in front of the house where he
works and dislocated his shoulder. He
was picked up and taken to the City drug
store where he was attended by DR..
Armor. The man is now at his old place

stop jumping off street cars while they
are in motion hereafter.

Millinery Less than Cost.
BANK.

We have decided, owing to our
limited space, to close out our
entire millinery department by
January I, and as we are too busy
to remark each and every article
we have decided to save time by
sacrificing all; hence we will sell
everything in the department at
just one-half the present actual
price. This is no advertising
scheme, but the straight truth,
which will readily be seen by
pricing our goods. Remember,
everything at just half of former
pieces.

Potato Culture.


1t is very important to give thorough
cultivation in order to secure a COED
growth. 1t is very important to give
clean cultivation from the start, and
generally, if this be done, the soil will
be in good tilth. 1t is necessary that the
cultivation be commenced early, 50 that
the weeds can be kept down, and the
earlier it is commenced after the seed !;
planted the easier the work can be done
Potatoes are nearly always planted n
drifts, and the cultivation is given only
one way, and it requires careful wOIkn
give thorough cultivation without hoe
ing.
One OF the advantages in preparing
the soil in a good filth before planting
the seed is that the cultivation can (
commenced much earlier than would
otherwise be possible. Under average
conditions the best implement to CON,
mence the cultivation is the harrow and
in a majority OF cases it can be usel
within ten days at least after planting
with good results. Potatoes are SLOW 10

a Man Who sleeps for Years.

Twelve years ago Herman EARNS emf

Illinois, where he had long suffered with

turned At the end of three more years
he again Invoke fer few days, and
again relapsed Each day he returns to
consciousness for brief season, but the
spell OF slecplessuess at once exerts its
sway again, and the man Is rs obliyious

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Treasury Department Struggling t.
Prevent the Sale of Lottery Tickets.


It has been practically decided to ex-
tend the A. per cent. loan at per cent.
and give the holders of these bonds the
necessary ninety days notice.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
had conference with the Secretary OF
the Treasury in regard to the selection
of a site for the public building at San
Francisco. He is pushing this and other
similar matters.
The Treasury Department has re-
scinded the circular of May 7, 1891, dis
continuing the allowance of draw
back on sugars used in the manufacture
of condensed milk, confectionery and
other articles made wholly or in part
from sugar on hand prior to March /.
The Interior Department has approved
three lists OF indemnity school selections
in Oregon. In The Dalles district, $3.50
acres; the Oregon district, II, AIS acres.
and the Roseburg district, ,374 acres.
These are for lands lost in sections Is
and 36, granted as school lands to all
States.
Acknowledgement Miller has decided
that the gain or seigniorage arising from
the coinage of bullion under the Treas
ury act, when paid into the Treasury,
becomes part Of the general cash, and
may be used like any other The seign-
orage fund now amounts to $4,000, 900,
and under this decision the issue Of sill
yer certificates may be increased TO that
extent.
The report of the civil-serviee exami-
nation ut the New York navy yard has
been received in Washington, and the
result is gratifying to Secretary Tracy,
who is responsible for the introduction
OF this reform. The examinations will
soon be made at the Mare Island navy
yard, and ii equally good results are OBJ
tanned, the Secretary will feel much
gratiiied and the administration be en-
titled to the praise OF those who believe
in ciyil-seryce reform.
The Treasury Department. is still strug-
Cling to prevent the sale OF lottery tick
cts in the United States. The law passed
by Congress prevented the use OF the
United States mails in distributing them,
and then the lottery people went to
Mexico and sought under the custom
law to import them into this country as
reading matter at a light duty. Assist
ant Secretary Spaulding put "A stop to
this by assessing duty on the face value
OF the tickets, the duty being placed at
81 30 on ten-dolar ticket. This was
thought to be final stoppage on their
importation. The lottery people, fertile
in resource, have had the tickets printed
in the United States, exported into Mex
leo and reimported into the United
States, and now claim that they are ex-
empt from duty as American mauufact-
ure returned without being advanced in
value or improved in condition. Assist
ant Secretary Spaulding, however, has
instructed Collectors Of Customs along
the Mexican border to assume that all
lottery tickets entered are of foreign
manufacture and to assess duty accord
ingly.

TIE ADVANTAGE OF THINKING.

To have learned to think, whether learned
in the schools or out of them, is to have
attained the most valuable Of oil acquire
ments. Hard and stubborn fac. in letters,
sciences, or mechanics, however desirable III
themselves. cannot be of the best practical
value to their possessor until he has learned
to think. and so is able to adjust his infor-
nation to the constantly varying conditions
and necessities of his occupation.
Any system Of instruction which does not
teach a man to think falls very far short Of
the best results Of instruction, and leaves him
without tho most vital element OF success.
The Je.celers' Journal repeats what has been
often said in these columns that il. what q
mechanic most needs to-day is to know how
to think. He who can do this is never at q
loss for ways and means, and is ever and
always equal to every occasion, and can meet
any emergency without hesitancy or confu-
sion. BE finds real pleasure in conquering q
difficult Job. for he can always conquer it,
inasmuch as he is an inventor, and can create
a way whero there was none. A man who
has learned to think continually separates
