DR.. Max Urwitz is still an enthusiastic

that it is composed of Chief Justice Lock-

That this new court has appellate juris-
diction not only over the District Court,
but also over the Supreme court of this
state, and that the District, Clerk has
been ordered to hereafter send all trans
cripts from his court directly to this new
court, which | understand, is called the
"Big Three Court"
Have been correctly informed, and
has the Hoefling- Boelhauwe case been
reversed by this big Three court?"
l was under the impression that the
days of "hurrahing" courts in Texas had
long since passed away that even
palmiest days, they always bowed to the
mandate OF the courts, and however great
deSperadoeS they might have been; they
never openly and boldly defied the courts

Am / right about this or not? Does
not this open defiance of the courts sug-

A question comes up as to whether the
office of city attorney for this city has
not become vacant through the absence
of City Attorney Bergstrom without
leave from the council. The charter re-
quires the attendance of the city attorney
at every meeting of the council, and no
city official can leave the city without

abandoned his office and left it without

ArseMical Poisoning.

Many green goods are dangerous. A
young city man is doomed to wear eye
glasses all his life by having manipu-
lated opera house tickets of q green
hue, and then rubbed his eyes in amaze
ment at the way in which the public
paid the prices demanded. The green
that was upon the pasteboards and
tinted his hands got into his optics,
weakening them forever. A lady brought
to dressmaker a pattern having a green
shade.
The seamstress worked very hard and
long upon it her eyes became tired and
ached; she rubbed the left one often, the
result being that it was infiamed and
poisoned. But she kept at work, put
shade over it, this having the effect of
straining and weakening the other eye,
until she became nearly blind. Both
cases are probably due to arsenical
poisoning. Instances have been men
toned where members of households
were poisoned by the green in fancy
printed labels upon canned goods and in
wall paper. 1t would seem better to dis
card such shades Of printed matter. wall
paper, dress patterns, and opera house
tickets, even though fashion suggest
them, than to run such risks.

Clubs of Great cities.

he spoke the truth. There arc. he con-
tinued, thousands of men on this island
who know no other home than their
clubs. If the matrons have right to
protest against their lords being too dc
voted to club life because they spend Il
part of their time in such retreats, have
not the maids a cause of action against
an institution that practically withdraws
so many eligibles from the matrimonial
market? The man who lives in a club
you know, is usually a man of some
fortune and sufficient polish to make him

The Russian Empress Deaf.

The czarina is almost entirely deaf.
When courier, carrying messages from
her majesty, Augusta Victoria, appeared
before the czarina, lady in waiting
secretly wrote down his message on a
piece of pasteboard, which was handed
to her majesty under cover of fan, and
after she had read it she answered in
quite an unconcerned manner.
1t seems that the royal comedy which
was once played by the blind George of
Hanover, who endeavored by sundry
tricks to keep his terrible affiiction a
secret, is to be repeated to-day at Peters
hof and Gatschina. In Russian court
circles it is whispered that her deafness
is the result of the terrible railroad acci-
dent of Borkum, when the detonation of
the explosives which were intended to
destroy Alexander and his family in
iured her ears. But then her sister, the
Princess of Wales. is likewise affected
with deafness, which leaves the suspicion
that the trouble is hereditary.

You are not surprised when the man
who takes your garbage from your door
takes off his hat with some show of good
breeding, and, with an apology for his
profession, assures you that he has seen
better days. 1t is quite in the nature of
things that the ashman should seek an
opportunity to let it be known that he
never sits for cinders, but merely dumps
his load, leaving the sitting for humber
class of citizens. So on up the scale of
society each one has some pretense upon
which to base claim to more than he
actually possesses. Each individuals
style of living is little more extravagant,
little more pretentious, than that of
man of similar occupation elsewhere.
The messengers in the departments imi-
tate the style Of the clerks, who in turn
initiate their chiefs. The chiefs initiate
their superiors in Office, and SO on it runs

they are. Nay, they initiate the extrava-

There are, undoubtedly, many men and
women in New York to-day who went
down to the Battery and cheered and
waved their hands in greeting to the first
steamship that entered this port from
Europe. This important event took
place on April %, 1888. and it was doubly
interesting and significant because not
only the first transatlantic steamship
came to anchor in the harbor that day,
but the second also; steam travel across
the sea thus beginning with race that
was earnestly contested and brilliantly
won. Furthermore, it was a race that
attracted infinitely more attention than
any of the contests that have succeeded
it. Two steam vessels had crossed the
Atlantic in years previous, both having
started from this side; the Savannah,
from Savannah, in 1919; and the Royal
William, from Quebec, in 1881, but
neither of these voyages had demon
strated the feasibility Of abandoning the
fine sailing packets and clippers for
steamers when it came to a long voyage
The Savannah used both steam and sail
during 1S of the IS days required for a
passage to Liverpool, and more than one
clipper overlook and passed her during
the voyage. The Royal William had to
utilize all her hold for coal in order to
carry sufficient fuel to insure compile
ton of the voyage. Public interest ac-
cordingly was deeply stirred on both
sides of the ocean when, in 1887, it was
learned that two steam vessels were on
the stocks. building for the American
service. These were the Sirius, at Lon-
don, and the Great Western, at Bristol.
1t was these vessels that made the first
race; the Sirius making the trip, meas.
ured from Queenstown, in 1871 days, and
the Great Western in 144 days. The
Sirius, having had nearly four days start,
came in a few hours ahead of the win
ner. She brought seven passengers, and
whether the Great Western had others
than her crew on board can not now be
ascertained.-[From Ocean Passenger

How Central American Presidents Get
Rich.

RtCh.
mo one who has not lived in Central
America has any idea of the fortunes
which the presidents of those petty re-
publics amass in few years, says
Guatemalan merchant "You see, these
fellows are as complete dictators as
Napoleon was in his best days. They
handle the public purse, and can lay out
what they want, and cover into their
own exchequer very large amount,
which is put down on the books for
public improvements and secret service
work There is no question that Barrios,
who hadn't dollar when he secured the
control of Guatemala, was worth when
he was killed at least ten millions About
half of this amount was invested in New
York property and in American Govern
ment bonds, SO the widow was all right.
His Guatemalan property, however, was
seized by Barillas, his successor, under
one pretext or another. Barrios was an
open handed dictator, who never minced
words or concealed the fact that he
would promptly remove any one who
aspired to oppose him. Barillas is equally
cruel, but he always masks his work
under due forms of law. He has stripped
the country of large sums, and it is said
he has several millions to his credit in
the Bank of England, so that should he
be suddenly unseated by popular revo.
luton, he would have a competence fo1
the remainder of his days. Barillas has
also just played the shrewd game Of
mortgaging his valuable coffee plantation
to rich German syndicate for over two
millions. With this mortgage on the
property should he be driven into exile,
his estates can not be contiscated, as the
German minister would at once demand
protection for the interests of the mort
gagees Barillas has also sold the coffee
crop on his estates for thre" years, realiz-
ing the snug sum OF 81 .G0o.0 900 for it.
Taking these two things together, it looks
very much as though he fears defeat in
the strug lie with Salvador next summer,
and that he is raj rng all the money he
can to be prepared for flight The legend
of Damocles's sword is literally true Of
Central American presidents. "

One Oyster for Two,

We laugh at Tho innocent young house.
wife who ordered half dozen halibut"
for dinner Had she lived in the South
Pacific Islands she might have been
equally laughed at for ordering half
dozen oysters-not to say pint. The au-
thor of "Oysters, and All About Them"
gives some examples that nearly match
the giant CLAIMS and abalones of the Cali
fornia coast.
Pliny mentions that, according to the
historians of Alexander's expedition, oys-
ters foot in diameter were found in the
Indian Seas, and Sir James E. Tennent
was unexpectedly enabled to corroborate
the correctness of this statement, for at
Kottier, near Trincomalee, enormous
specimens of edible oysters were brought
to the rest house. One measured more
than II inches in length by half as many
in width.
But this extraordinary measurement is
beaten by the oysters of Port Lincoln in
South Australia, which are the largest
edible ones in the world. They are as
large as dinner plate, and of much the
same shape. They are sometimes more
than foot across the shell, and the oys-
ter fits his habitaton so we'll that he does
not leave much margin.
1t is new sensation when a friend asks
you to lunch at Adelaide to have one oys-
ter fried in butter, OF in eggs and bread
crumbs, set before you; but it is very
pleasant experience, for the flavor and
delicacy of the Port Lincoln mammoth
are proverbial, even in that land of lux
uries.
