WEDDING BELLS.

The Richmond correspondent of
the Houston Post says: J. L. Bur
CESS, of San Antonio, and Miss Lima
Bell Slater, of Brennan, were united
in the holy bonds of matr1mony We'd
nesday night at this place at the
Methodist church. After the close
of the prayer meeting service the
Rev. Mr.. Childers announced that
he had very solemn obligation to
perform, and announced the occas-
ion when all were eager to have the
bridal party arrive, which they did
at the appointed time, 9:15, when
they were ushered into the alter,
where they took upon themselves
the solemn obligation. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. J.
P. Childers in a very impressive
manner, when the bridal party re-
paired to the residence of J. P.
Childers and left on the midnight
train for San Antonio to make that
city their future home. The bride
is one of Brenham's most popular
young ladies, and the groom is an
influential lawyer of the Alamo city.
E'At home" cards were received
here Friday announcing that they
would be at the "Gibbs House" San
Antonio after the 18th inst. The
marriage was a surprise to many of
the brides friends here, who had
been kept in profound ignorance of
the approaching event, but their
best wishes and most hearty congrat-
ulations for their future happiness
are extended Just the same.

AN ANARCHIST.
Mr.. t. j. Trapp Didn't Deny the Charge
but Threw up his job and Left
the City,

/
Mr.. T. J. Trapp is a practlca
| journeyman watch maker and jewel
Ell, who some time since came here
from Houston to work for Mr.. A. T.
Threadgill. He was attentive to his
business, a good workman and Civ
ing perfect satisfaction to his en-
ployer until last Wednesday after,
noon, when some one went to MIR.
Threadgill ans asked him if he
knew that he had an anarchist in
his employee. Mr.. Threadgill was
not aware of the fact and asked the
grounds for the charge and for some
authority on which he could ask MIR.
Trapp about it, whereupon the gen
tleman in question related that he
had been making himself obnoxious
to the people of Brennan by his an
archistic conversations around the
Exchange hotel, where he boarded,
and his wholesale abuse of southern
people and their loved leader, jeff
Davis in particular, until there was
some talk of running him out Of
town, further relating that MIR.
Trapp regarded Spies and the other
anarchists hung in Chicago, as mar
tyrs.
Upon the return of Mr.. Trapp to
the store, Mr.. Threadgill related
what he had learned, adding that
such talk was calculated to injure
his business, whereupon Mr.. Trapp
said he would resign his position,
which Nh. Threadgill added, to take
effect at once, upon his admission
that he was an anarchist.
There was report current to the
effect that he was warned to leave
this city at once, but the BANNER
could find no proof of the report
which was to the effect that he
would be harshly dealt with if he re-
manned here.
As Mr.. Trapp was a Confederate
soldier for one year of the late I'M
pIeasantness, and a southern man
ever since, having been a resident of
Houston for the past twenty years,
it is hard to understand how he
come to be an anarchist and such a
bitter hater of the South, its ways,
and even its dead heroes, like JEFF
Davis, for whom he seemed to have
a special antipathy and was fire.
quently abusing his memory.
Being an anarchist his departure
is a good ridance to Brennan for
the BANNER feels safe in saying
that he was the only anarch-
list here and that he was one
more than the people of Brennan
would have tolerated, had he not
left and stood not on the order of
his going.

THE NETEORS.

In its annaul passage around the
sun the earth encounters, as careful
observers have proven, something
like 100 meteor streams, of which
two are very wide and dense, and
give rise to what are known as the
August and the November meteor.
The density of these streams varies
greatly in different parts, so that in
some years, as in 1888, many hun
bred meteors are in sight in the
same moment, though ordinarily the
display is much less.s The streams
are simply belts of dust stretching
round the sun to great distance in
space, and they are estimated to
yield some 100000 meteors yearly
adding a weight of 10000 tons to
our planet The particles weigh
from a few grains to many tons
each, and in the densest parts of the
streams they are supposed to be not
more than 100 miles apart-perhaps
much less. The first recorded ap-
pearance of the annual showers"
was in 911, since which time they
have appeared quite regularly, with
the exception of a break of SO years
between 841 and 924 and another of
80 years between 936 and 1913.
These failures may have been due to
neglect of the observers, or may
have resulted from break il the
ring.
A collection of Eskimo works of
art, obtained by Assistant Superin-
tendent Edwards of the Greenland
cryolite mines, includes greensboro
candle-sticks, cigar holders, ash-re-
ceivers, anchors, paper-weights, etc.
The objects show considerable skill,
though, the Eskimos having no use
for ornamental art, they were made
to sell to Danish rulers.

A SAD DEATH.
w. Linnstaedter, of Latium, Died Thurs
day Morning.

How sad is death at any time, but
when the reaper is abroad bent on
richest store, and gathers from
among US one who has just attained
his majority, who a few weeks ago
was the personi6cation of health
and vigorous young manhood, it is
sad indeed.
Mr.. W. Linnstaedter, deputy
county clerk. died at the home OF
his parents near Latium, Thursday
morning, while in the 2lst year of
his age. The news Of his death was
received here with deep regret by
every one who knew him, for by his
gentlemanly bearing, his attentive
ness to business, his courtesy to
every one who came in contact with
him during his stay in the clerks Of
fee since last January, he left the
enduring impression of true gen
tleman.
A few weeks ago his health began
to fail him and he reluctantly
yielded to the entreaties of his
friends to take a vacation and recu-
perate. He went home and was
soon confined to his bed with
typhoid fever, from which he never
recovered, death relieving his suf-
fering Thursday, after a severe i'll
ness of about two weeks duration.
His life walk was an exemplary
one, full of promise for the future,
forestalled by deaths untimely frost
cutting him down while yet in the
morning of life. But the influence
of such an exemplary young man
will live after him, and like the light
of an extinct sun, which continues
to shine after its central source has
become exhausted, his memory will
glow with splendor, and be cher
ished in the heart of every one who
knew him.

UNDER-FED TEETH.

The British Dental Association
recognizes two great causes of de-
terioration in human teeth. One is
the lavish waste due to having teeth
pulled out on the slightest provoca-
ton; the other is starvation of the
teeth by modern cookery and the
small use of fish and other food cap
able of keeping up the necessary
supply of earthly salts. It is also
stated that over-stimulation of the
brain in children leads to undue
withdrawal of phosphates from the
circulation at the expense of the
teeth, and that chronic dyspepsia is
another cause of the failure of teeth.
