"There are two kinds Of Monochrome
kind sits and weeps silently about her
wrongs and the other storms and
raves about her rights" Those may

more if she wanted them; the royal

THE ROAD LEASED.

AS was seen by yesterday mornings
STATEMAN, the Dam railroad was
leased to Messrs. William Metzgar Of
Illinois, Richard Smell Of Kansas City,
and d. c. McMartin of Des Moines,
la. The STATESMAN believes that
this was wise move, and that the
city will have great cause to rejoice
that it was done. 1t will yield a
handsome revenue to Austin, which
will pay the interest on the cost Of the
road and reduce the principal, and it
will be the cause Of extending the
limits of the city and causing many
new homes to spring up in the attrac-
tive suburbs which this will bring
within easy reach. birmingham,
Ala, is connected by dummy lines
with all the adjacent hills which
encircle that smoke girdled
city, and everywhere, along
those lines, beautiful residences have
sprung up, and all the hillsides are
dotted with homes. Many cottage
is in those suburbs, the home Of some
working man who would be homeless
but for the lower rates at which the
suburban property is held, and whom
the dummy line brings convenient to
his work, The same conditions exist
at Austin. AS is well known, some
of the most beautiful residence prop
erty in the vicinity of the city lies in
the direction of the dam. There is nc
doubt that the spirit Of improvement
which has taken possession Of Austin
will turn many eyes in the direction
fthis city, and that an influx of i'm
migration will set in, such as Austin
has never before seen. People

MUTINOU9 GRENADIERS.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK III HER EA-
JEsTy's ROYAL ARMY.
This Time the Soldiers Complain Of the In
sualciency and Unpalatable Condition
Of the Food Served Them-A Com
pany Under Arrest

LONDON, Oct. 28.-Military circles
and the public in general were
started today by the publication in
the columns of Truth of the details OF
another mutinous outbreak upon the
part of the Grenadier Guards, who
are now stationed at Windsor Castle.
According to Truth this mutiny, while
not an event Of the first magnitude, is
still very serious.
1t is safe to add that all military
men look upon the event as being OF
a most decidedly serious nature in
view of the previous acts of mutiny in
which the Grenadier and COldstream
guards have been implicated in with
in about year and half.
The second mutiny Of the same bat
TALON within about six months had
its origin in the i'll feeling permeating
the corps of the British army on ac-
count Of the insufficient and unpalat-
able rati0ns which the men claimed
were served to them for
their meals on Wednesday, DC.
tober 14th. These ratiOns, they
claim, were especially bad and caused
the smouIdering feeling of insubordi-
nation to break out into flame. Upon
the arrival at the Guards barracks at
Windsor, the officer of the day Lieut..
A. w. Cotton, a part OF whose duty it
is to pass through the different mess
rooms at meal times in order to listen
to all such complaints; a private of
No. company, as previously ageeed
upon, made formal complaint about
the quality and quantity of the food
served out to them. Lieut.. Cotton
examined the food complained
of and then said that the
food was good and ordered
the Grenadiers to eat it, but to the
dismay of the officer Of the day, the
Grenadiers Of company No. |, went to
the windows of the mess-room and
hurled the unsatisfactory rati0ns into
the barrack square. The officer OF
the day, as in duty bound, reported
the occurrence to the commanding
officer. Consequently the command
inc officer ordered company No. to
be confined to their barracks for the
day and placed the corporals Of the
same company under arrest, pending
inquiry into the mutinoUs conduct OF
the priyates.
The inquiry that was made into the
outbreak showed that the grenadier5
had, upon a previous occasion, com
planned of the quality of the bread
served out to them, and that the just
ness of their complaint not being adj
mitted, the men threw the bread out
of the barracks windows into the
square. The adjutant of the Third
battalion declared that he was not
aware that the men had acted
in the manner mentioned, add
ING that he was wholly Ignorant
of the entire incident, and that he
had not received any report upon the
subject. Thereupon Truth says: The
evidence of a hundred witnesses can
prove these facts. If such an outbreak
and it's consequent arrests are pos,
sible without the colonel or adtutant
knowing of them, the worst said
about the gulf separating the officers
from the men is not far short OF the
truth.

HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF ORPHANS.
Rev. Dr.. Samuel Cotton Of ireland Arrest
ed for InhNman Treatment.

Gu lOr 1unUudn treatment,
DUBLIN, Oct. 2O.-Some startling
testimony was given today as the
trial Of Rev. Samuel Cotton, rector at
Carnough, County kildare, who was
charged with criminal neglect and i'll
treatment of the children in the Car
nough orphanage. Rev. Samuel Cot
ton, who has conducted the affairs OF
the orphanage for many years, has
made many appeals to the public for
financial aid, and has received large
sums of money by subscription for the
maintenance of the home, but owing
to numerous complaints which have
been made against that institution,
the Society for the Protection of Chill
dren recently made an investigation
into the manner in which the orphan
age was conducted, and thereby a
horrible state Of affairs was revealed
The agents of the children's society
during their investigation found that
the children Of the Orphanage were in
an emaciated, filthy and ragged con-
ditiOn and that they were covered
with parasites. The toes of one of the
children, it was testified, had rotted
off. Another girl had been chained
by the legs to a log. Therooms Of the
orphanage were also found to be in
the filthiest possible condition. IN
the kitchen of the orphanage was
found baby six weeks old covered
with dirty rags and dying of cold and
inattention. Other children were
found in the same apartment crouch
ed around a small fire almost frozen
and half starved. All OF them
were weak and sickly and their
growth has been stunted by the treat
mont received under Rev. Mr.. Cot
TOMS management. The sanitary
condition of the whole establishment
was found to be perfectly horrible. The
walls and floors were in beastly
condition and some of the beds used
by the unfortunate children were
merely old boxes and packing cases
filled with stale hay. 1t was also
shown that all the children We're
kept in a perpetual state of terror by
Rev. Mr.. Cotton and that it would be
difficult even to imagine more de.
plOrable or blamable state OF things
Rev. MIR. Cotton was committed fol
trial, bail however, being allowed il

NEW GILLIAN MINISTER
Senior Pedro Mont Presented to Secretary
Blaine.


Blaine.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-As q result
of the appointment made yesterday
Senior Pedro Montt atnoon today call
ed at the department Of state to see
Secretary Blaine. Yesterday in COM
pany with Senior Romero, the MeXi-
can minister and dean Of the diplo-
matte corps, he called at the depart
ment. 1t is said that he had cable
gram announcing his appointment as
minister from Chill to the United
States, and adding that his creden-
tials has been forwarded by mail.
1t was therefore arranged through
one of the officers Of the department
that he should meet Secretary Blaine
today. Accordingly at noon, Senior
Montt came to the department in COM
pany with Senior Asia Buruga, Chill
ian Charge de Affairs, left here by the
late minister Lazeano and Mr.. Julio
Foster. They waited in the reception
room for fifteen minutes and SenGrs
Montt and Buruga were then admit
ted to Secretary Blaine's office. The
interview lasted three-quarters OF an
hour. Mr.. Foster remained in the
waiting room only five minutes and
then left the building. At the concIu-
sion of the interview, Senior Montt
positively refused to state what had
been said, and Secretary Blaine left
the department immediately for his
house. 1t is understood that Senior
Montt has been recognized in a pro-
visional way only, which puts him in
the same status as that now occupied
by Minister Egan in Chill. y min
lister is not regarded as fully recog-
nized until he has been presented to
the President, and it is not customary
to do this until his formal credentials
have been received.

into injurious labor, and is liable to
produce as hurtrul results as any
other athletic sport, INDUCED in to

professional athletes frequently bring
on heart disease by their too violent

causes spinal troubles which are liable

Ailments of Horses.

Almost any iveryman is, in his way,
horse doctor. He practices on his own
stock, and will prescribe simple remedies
for sick horse that is brought to him,
but in any case he deems serious will al
ways advise calling in a regular veteri-
nary surgeon rather than to undertake
the treatment himself. All sorts of sur
gical operations are undertaken for the
relief of horses, and there are one or two
men in the city who are specially skilled
in the treatment of diseased teeth.
Horses have the toothache just like men
do and from the same causes, and pull
ing tooth is now common thing in
veterinary surgery. Of course the horse
kicks, for his teeth have long and strong
roots, but the operation frequently saves
the life of a valuable animal.-Interview

The Military Training of the Heir Ap-
parent to ItaIy's Throne.
LONDON, March IA Rome dispatch
says the Prince of Naples is pursuing his
military studies under the superintend-
ence of General Avogadro and other
superior officers. 1t is the desire of King
Humbert that the young prince should
be trained in all martial exercises. An
interesting field day is to be held on land
near Naples for the prince to demon
strate practically the effect of his studies.
The young man was, it is said, really in
love with Princes Marguerite of Prussia,
and both the kaiser and King Humbert
were willing that the attachment should
result favorably. The princess herself,
showed positive. repugnance to the
Italian, and this, of course, made an al
lance impossible. The marriage settle
ment of the young prince is a serious
question for King Humbert, as he is a
mont Catholic and under the ban of the
church. He is Catholic enough to keep
him out of Protestant family, and not
Catholic enough to unite with the ruling
houses of that faith
