"Itis Victor Hugo who has
called this the century of
woman 1t is certainly an age
that has witnessed great chang
es in the life, education, and La
Dor everywhere; and these
changes have all been in the
direction of enlarging the sphere
Of woman's activities, increas-
ing her liberties, and opening
up possibilities to her life hither-

movement limited to no land
and to no race. So far as this
movement may have any ten
dency to take a woman out OF
here true place in the home, to
give her mans work to do, and
to develop masculine qualities
in her, it finds no sympathy in
the South. The Southern wo-
man loves the retirement of
home and shrinks from every
thing that would tend to bring
her into the public gaze. The
higher education of woman,
which has been so widely dis
cussed of late years, and to en-

such noble schools for women

NEW ORLEANS LEPROSY.


The leprosy cases in New Orleans
are exciting great deal of unprotit-
able discussion, and the rest of the
world stands around and waits to see
what New Orleans will do. Certain
physicians there claim that the dis
ease is hereditary, but not contagious,
and want the lepers to remain unmo-
Tested. The STATESMAN hopes that
New Orleans will test the case by
sending those physicians and the
lepers into exile together, and keep
ing them there for about ten years, by
which time, perhaps, the question
might be considered settled. Every
one knows that leprosy is slowly gain
ing ground in this country. Does it
look like very sane policy to encour-
age it's growth by turning the lepers
loose, to live in crowded communities,
to transact business, sell goods,
handle money, or with this inner
tied curse in their veins, to marry
unsuspecting victims, and send their
loathsome disease down through ever
increasing generations? America has
indeed thrown the doors wide open,
and willingly takes in any form of
disease or vice, drawing the line only
at paupers.

beautiful moonlight effects by this re-
Elected current.
Although scientists make no pre-
tense of asserting the presence of any
element or substance in the compost
ton of the moon which is capable of
producing actual reflection, yet never
theless, it is legitimate to infer that
the moon has a medium which pos
sesses rejecting powers adequate for
all supposed necessities. The ques-
ton arises: What is that rejecting
medium? and the answer is drawn
from analogy.
No one will claim that the dead,
dull body of the moon which science
on atmosphere, heat, light, animal
life with intelligence, vegetable and
mineral life; the property of reflection
of great cosmical currents, etc.
Direct electrical sun currents come
through the cole of space and develop
atmospheric light and heat at the
moon as well as at the earth and in
either case there is reflection, making
each q moon for the other. Such cleo
trical sun currents reflected from the
moon to the earth develop in the
earth's atmosphere is beautiful moon
light; therefore instead of the moon
being dead it is undou btedly another
world of action like unto the earth.
The moon awakened out of its Rip
Van Wrinkle obscurity to which
science hitherto has succeeded in rele-
eating it benceforth should be ac-
corded q more just and honorable poe
sition among the members Of tn
celestial family.
DR.. Roger is striking many effective
blows at the fast failing nebular
theory and is doing able service for
5he electrical theory. We hope to
near from him often. w. II. FOSTER.

THE REPORTED MASSACRE.
The Mexican Consul at San Antonio Doubts
its Having Occurred.


its Having Occurred.
Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 5.-Dr.
Plutarco Ornelas, the Mexican consul
in this city, was called upon today by
your correspondent and asked con-
corning the alleged massacre of nearly
200 white colonists in the Tularingo
district, State of Hidalgo, Mexico, by
Indians. He stated that the pub
lished report this morning was the
first intimation that he had received
of the affair, although he receives
daily reports by telegraph from the
seat of the government of Mexico.
fam convinced said he, "that the
report is unfounded, or that it has been
greatly exaggerated. The state of
Hidalgo is one of the richest i'm Mexico,
and is wealthy in mineral and agri-
cultural resources. There is not a
community in the state but what has
schools and intelligent instructors.
The population Of the state is about
100000, Of which number there are

are many Indians, but they are peace
full, quiet and well educated. 1t is, in
fact, one of the most peaceful and
prosperous states in Mexico. General
PachelO, the late secretary of
Tomento, devoted several years to
colonizing the state, and through his
efforts he has made it splendid
country. 1t is hardly possible that
any such massacre could have oc-
Cured in any part of Mexico and not
have been made public, as the state of
Hidalgo is now the center of the ma
tional government, Pachula, it's CAPT
tai, being only five hours journey
from the City of Mexico. The story
Of the massacre, as given by Mr.. Pas
ton, looks very improbable, to say the
least. | have telegraphed the secre-
tary of foreign affairs in the City of
Mexico, asking him as to the truth of
the report and will probably receive
an answer tomorrow morning.

pccial to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 5.-The at
mospheric pressure is little below
the average on the gulf coast and in
West Texas and rises to the North
westward and is highest over Dakota
and Montana. An area of low pres
sure is apparently central in the gulf
but if one exists it is considerable dis
lance over land, yet the pressure and
wind direction from Florida to Mexico
indicate such. Rain has fallen over
the Atlantic and east gulf states and
rain with snow over the Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi
valleys, and the central Rocky Mount
ain slope and snow is falling tonight
at Denver, and the temperature is
down to 30 degrees over Wyoming
and Southern Montana. The
temperature has fallen 10 to 20 degrees
from the New England states south
ward, except along the immediate
South Atlantic and East Gulf coasts,
and has fallen over 10 de-
grees over Colorado, Wyoming,
Nebraska and Iowa, while over
other portions the changes have been
slight, except western Texas, where
there has been rise. The isotherm
of so has disappeared from the chart.
The isotherm of 10 passes south of
Norfolk, Charlotte, Atlanta, Vicks-
burg, through San Antonio and Ell
Paso. The isotherm of 60 passes
through New York City, Nashville,
Memphis, Oklahoma and south of
Santa Fe. The isotherm of so passes
south of Buffalo, north of Chicago,
south of Omaha, North Platte,
and Denver. The isotherm of 40
passes east of Saint Vincent, through
Huron, Omaha, south of Cheyenne,
and north through Landes and Miles
City.
The forecast for Texas, east of the
Tooth meridian, for the twenty-four
hours ending at midnight Oct. 9th, is
for fair weather, slight changes in
temperature; easterly winds.

refusing the invitation of Ohio will
come to Texas and visit the fair in
Dallas on the 18th. 1t is understood
an invitation will be sent that associa-
ton to visit Austin. This should be
done and the invitation be made as
urgent as possible, for outside of our
duty to entertain such guests well, no
better bread can be cast on more
promising waters. Texas and Austin
want to be seen and known of the
world, and the closer they get in touch
with the type" of every section of the
country the sooner will Texas be the
populous empire desired. the sooner
will Austin be city of 100000 souls.
Send the invitation by all means and
write it out good and strong.

CERTAINLY A NOBLE EXAMPLE.
The Two Republics gives this aston
ishing result of q charitable move
ment started few days since among
the Spanish residents of the City of
Mexico:
"Up to yesterday the sum of sew
enty-iive thousand dollars had been
subscribed by members of the Spanish
colony in this city for the relief of the
sufferers by the late floods at Consue-
gra in Spain. This amount was sub
scribed by forty gentlemen, of whom
five gave $4,000 each; five $4,000 each
ten $4,000 each; ten $1,000 each, and
ten $500. This is only the beginning
of the generosity Of the Spanish col
ony.n
We in the United States are not
much accustomed to this sort of thing:
and the average American citizen who
elbows his own way through the
world and leaves the fallen sons and
daughters to pick themselves up as
best they may, should remove his hal
and stand uncovered in the presence
of these noble Spaniards.

1t is unsafe.
Everybody Knows it.
1t ought to be replaced by a new
bridge.
Every one knows that, too.
Every one, in view of the existing
circumstances, will therefore be glad
to learn that the county commission
ers court, which was in session yes
terday, took this bridge under con-
sideration, in connection with other
matters.
Judge Won Rosenberg introduced
the following resolutions:
l. Whereas, the extension of the
city limits of the city of Austin, by the
legislature of the state of Texas, under
its new charter, has taken within said
city parts of number Of county roads,
and
Whereas, said city is authorized
and has levied taxes for the purpose
of maintaining such streets and high
ways within it's limits, in lieu of such
road duty it's citizens have been eX-
empted from said charter, and,
Whereas, said charter grants said
city the power to control all streets,
alleys and highways within said city
limits and makes it the duty of said
city to maintain streets, ETC., and to
keep them in repairs. ETC., and,
Whereas, said city of Austin has by
its officers taken charge of said parts
OF roads assumed control and super
vision over the same, therefore
Be it resolved by the county COM
missioners court of Travis county that
from and after this date, in obedience
Of the special act of the Legislature of
the State of Texas, passed at it's last
session, granting said charter, do
hereby surrender the control and ,su-
pervision of said city of Austin which
said parts of roads embrace all pass
ways, bridges in, on and along said
parts of roads;
That the county clerk be and is
hereby instructed to prepare certi-
fled copy of these resolutions and pre-
sent them in person to the mayor of
the city of Austin to the end that said
city of Austin may know that this
court is ready to recognize the rights
of said city Of Austin as granted it by
the state.
This resolution was adopted by the
court. Commissioner Newning was
not present however, and when he ar
rived and learned what had been done
he introduced motion to reconsider
the adoption Of so much of the resolu-
ton in regard to the county surren-
dering it's control of roads and bridges
embraced in the territory taken by
the extension of the Austin charter as
refers to the property purchased by
the county from the Travis County
Road and Bridge Co. on which the
county has debt yet to pay of S73-
600 more or less, be recOnsidered, and
the question of the right of the com,
missioners coart to surrender said
property without proper guarantee
from the city of Austin for the proper
maintenance and protection of same
be referred to the Attorney General
of the State of Texas for his
opinion with the request that
he will give said opinion in time for
the next meeting of the commission
ers court and that County Commits
sloners Brown and McElroy be named
to prepare full statement of facts to
be presented to the attorney general
regarding the ownership and control
of same. The motion was carried.

Persons in vehicles should be care
full about trying to cross the street car
lines Immediately in front of the cleo
trio cars. 1t is a piece of foolhardi-

is continued somebody is going to be
hurt, as the cars cannot always be
stopped in their length.
The people of Austin will be panied
to learn of the sudden death of Mr..
Dave Fullenwider, who passed away
early yesterday morning from the ef-

against A. A. Cooper, wagon maker
at Dubuque, Iowa, was Tuesday de-
cided in favor of Webb d Bro, by
judgment for $S58.16,' full amount
sued for. The suit was based on allie
cation by Webb of fraudulent in
voices and shoddy wagons sent Webb
by Cooper. Mr.. Cooper made affidavit
that his 2 ga wagon with seat, break.
bow, and feed box with 9-16 tire cost
him only $28 to make.
The STATESMAN some time since
published the call and particulars in
regard to the convention of stockmen

for the purpose of discussing the stock
interests of the state, and of devising
ways and means of getting Texas
stock to market on more reasonable
terms than can be secured now. The
call is being widely published by the
state papers, and there is no doubt
but the meeting will be large and
one and much good will
be accomplished.

The "pistol toter" is beginning to
appear a harmless and well-meaning
young man, compared with the indi-
vidual who carries knife in his boot
leg or his belt. Many man who car
ries pistol and would like to be con-
sidered very bloodthirsty couldn't
hit a barn, unless the pistol went off
by accident; but the knife was never
known to miss fire. 1t is the chosen
weapon of desperate and brutal men,
and the tragedy in Atascosa county
shows to what uses it can be put.
THERE'S law against carrying knives
OF more than certain length, but the
law is practically dead letter on ac-
count of the difficulty of apprehend-
ing the criminal. The danger to So
ciety from the concealed bowie knife
or dagger is greater than that from
the pistol, and it should be looked
after more carefully than it has been:
