They will state the salaries paid the

Shall oe communicated by the commission
to the attorney-g general, and also copy of
it shall be filed with the comptroller for
public use, and the commission shall print
1t IN its annual reports. When these blanks
shall have been filled out, the whole condi-
ton of the roads of Texas will be accessi-
bic to the public The commission will
take pains through its expert agents to
verify the reports made by the railway
companies.
The commission has issued thirty-six cir
cuiars making rulings, AMENDING modify
ing or explaining its commodity tariffs 1t
is much too early as yet to inquire the net
result Of the commissions work The sew
eral tariffs, all affecting some reduction in
rates, that have been promulgated, have
been put into operation by all the roads,
and are working well as far as known.
Shippers are well satisfied. excepting an
occasional fellow who enjoyed special rates,
and was getting rich at the expense Of his
competitors. 1t hurts such men to be
placed upon plane of equality with Others
The commission has no serious cause of
complaint to make against the roads. nor
the manner in which they have borne them
selves towards it, Irregularities and occa-
sional excuses, the outgrowth of NEEDLE
some oficiousness on the part Of local agents,
are reported, but always corrected when the
commission reports them TO the general
freight agents. The cotton tariff has eff
fected saving to the farmers of Texas of
a million dollars and has not bankrupted
any railroad nor put it in the hands Of re-
ceiver. Business has gone along smoothly
enough, and, SO far as the commission
knows, with general satisfaction The
roads have of course complained but that
was perfectly natural How else could they
get the most favorable terms from the com
mission! But they are working under the
new rates. and with what result to them
selves and the public, the future will dis
close

THE JEFF DAVIS SONG.
Injustice Done to Teacher in the Denison
Public Schools.

DENIsoN, GRAYsoN COUNTY, TEX, Nov.
6.-Recently the Dallas News contained an
account of an unfortunate occurrence at
South Side School, charging that the teacher
had her scholars sing the old Northern war
song, Hang JEFF Davis on Sour Apple
Tree. Quite little disturbance was Gre
was demanded. The result revealed the
fact that during the teachers absence from
the room for few moments, some mischiev-
Gus children started and got the song ago
ing. Upon her return the teacher stopped
the singing and reproved her scholars for
their imprudence. The publishing of the
item Us it appeared in the News was a
great injustice to the teacher, who took de-
cidedly the proper course.

Getting Ready for Chilli

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The Brooklyn navy
yard presented an appearance of activity
witnessed for the first time since the excit-
ing times of the civil war to-day. The hum
and din of the busy workmen on
the war vessels Miantonomah and,
Atlantic disturbed the stiffness
as body 400 blue-jackets marched
across the yard to divine service. Work
men have been busiiy engaged day and
night for the past week in preparing the
two vessels for speedy service at sea. To-
day the work of preparation was continued,
it being the first Sunday since the late war
that such a thing has occurred. There
We're eighty men at work on
the two vessels and all expe-
dition will be used until they
are ready for service at sea. The unusual
hustle and activity at the navy yard is said
to be due to the strained relations between
this country and Chill. 1t has caused the
government much anxiety to get its war
vessels ready for any possible contingency.

What u Driver Saw of Fast Classic Civ

In connection with the geological en-
| animation between Grade and Pola,
some curious Investigations have re-
Gently been carried on, regarding which
DR.. Vincenz Hilber reports in the PRO
ceedings" of the Austrian Imperial
Academy of Sciences and in the "1rans-
actions" of the Geographical Society of
Vienna. According to these communi-
cations, local fishermen know Of place
to the south of the Rovigno Lighthouse
| where their nets get entangled in sub
marine walls and bring up fragments Of
| them. A diver some years ago reported
having seen there, at the bottom of the
sea, walls and streets, and the site is
looked upon as that where the lost city
of Cissa had stood. At the beginning
of the present year Mt the instigation Of
the harbor captain, R)vigno and Rear
Admiral Hinke. an examination of the
place was made by diver, who suisse
quently made the following affidavit:
"On reaching the bottom found myself
upon remains of overthrown walls, after
examining which arrived at the con-.
clusion that they had been parts Of
buildings
Being mason by trade, was able to,
make out the layers of mortar. On pro-
Ceeding along the spot ! observed con-
tinuous rows of walls and streets. I
could not see doors and windows OPEN
ings, and, in my opinion, these were
| filled up by gravel, seaweed, and other
incrustatons But what could observe
exactly was the existence of a regular
sea wall, upon which proceeded for a
distance of 100 feet ! could not proceed
farther. because the air pipe and safety
rope did not permit of it. Nor could
! examine the wall further on account of
/ the adjoining great depth of water.
! From my observations gained the inn
preston that the existing heap of ruins
are the remains of buildings, and formed
the opinion that n town had hero been
submerged by some catastrophe With
the exception of loose stone, which
must have formed part Of a wall, could
not bring up any other object, rs the
masonry is firmly formed, from which
could not bring out anything through
want of tools and time. Ii appears
conclusive that at the place named n
human habitation, with houses, ETC., has
been submerged, DR.. Hilber stated that
n further examination, connected with
blasting and the raising Of material, is
probable, Should these works be carried
out the question may be solved whether
these ruins are those OF the old Roman
city of Cissa or some other town. - Bos.

THE ALPHABET.
Tho Worlds Walt III Order to- Learn It's
Letters.


Tho Worlds Walt In Order to- Learn Its
Letters.
From 5000 to 1000 b. c. mankind
labored with patience and ingenuity.
yet never succeeded in producing A. b,
c. 1t was reserved for tho Phmnician
traders, who. as Voltaire points out,
were too busy to devote time TO the learn
ing of four or five hundred emblems for
use in writing, to develop the broad
generalization of an alphabet, which was,
in fact ut first kind of shorthand as
compared with the syllabary A knowl-
edge of the large total which is made by
the combinations of twenty-five things
would show the modern student that an
alphabet of twenty-five letters might
easily be employed ilimitably in writing.
Yet when first employed the alphabet
was no doubt treated with scorn by or
thodox writer's, whose education bound
them down by pedantic laws. 1t might
he good enough for ignorant merchants,
but was clearly unfit for educated per-.
sons. So it comes about that among the
earliest of alphabetic tests we find dock
cts on the backs of cuneiform documents,
which are neither religious nor historic,
but merely mercantile agreements. In
the end the universities were swept away,
the heroglyphic scribes were out of en-.
plovment, and mankind was taught to
write its own letters in the a, B, G. of
the Phenician merchant, and finally the
hieroglyphic and syllable writings were
so utterly forgotten rs to employ the
lives of several generations of scholars
for their recovery.
The inventors of the alphabet clearly
worked on some previous syllabary, just
rs the Persians or the Egyptians tried to
develop alphabets by selections, of syl-
Liable emblems The question as to the
I, unician alphabet is still from what
syllabary did it arise? The Oldest dated
monuments in alphabetical writing as
yet known belong to the enth century.
b. c., including the Moabite stone and
the new inscription Of Panammu. for the
large majority of Phpnician texts as yet
discovered are even later than the Per-
sian age. The famous coffin of Eshnun-
azar from Sidon has been shown, by aid
of II newly discovered text from near
Acre dating 22l b. C). to belong to the
times of the Ptolemies. and the one He-
brew text at present known Qhe Sloan
inscription) is very clearly of tho age Of
Hezekiah, about 700 b. c.

Ages of Mun and Wife.

It is always better for man to be
several years the senior of his wife.
And I'll tell you why. The average
girl who marres-God bless her-stays
at home and makes a home bissful
abiding place for her husband and
her children. The man goes out into
the world and has the responsibility of
caring for those who are at home, and
vet time does not seem to set its seal on
him as it does on n woman. The little
cares of life ruffle her, and too often
make her look, as we say, "old before
her time" Now, even when this does
not happen, she does proportionately
grow old in appearance sooner than a
man, and for that reason she wants to
take the benefit of the doubt, and let
him have the added years to start with.
Then, too, you should desire to keep
your heart and mind young; to he his
intellectual companion, and this is much
easier when your husband is old enough
to be "the guide, philosopher, and
friend" The love of II woman to her
husband always has little of the ma
ternal in it-that is right and tender
but she does not wish to be mistaken
for his mother.
BE wise, and marry man older than
yourself; one who has seen life in its
many phases, and who can guide you
over the rocky place; one who has
learned that it is not always wise to
obey impulse, but that any important
dnty should be well thought over.

Short in stature, he has bright intelligent
eyes, which sparkle as he talks, and u
low and musical voice. Although only
81 years of age, he is we'll real in
Arabic lore, and has had an opportunity
to visit many of the principal cities of
Europe. Saleh as he likes to be called,
is devoted to his master, and speaks Of
him with evident respect and love He
says that Stanley is the friend of Africa
and the father of its children. Recently
a reporter had chat with Saleh.
How do you like American he was
asked.

so different from England. The people
here seem to think too much of them.
selves and too little of others; every
American meet wants me to talk only
so much"--here Saleh held his hands
about an inch apart-"and they want to
talk so much, stretching his arms out
at full length.
AS soon as I landed here I felt like
going back to Zanzibar. All Americans
seem to think that because man i,
black he is entitled TO no consideration.

what kind of man is Mr.. Stanlcy?"
Saleh was asked.
"lle is strict and stern, but he is just,
replied the lad. He expects To- he
obeyed, but he never demands impossi.
bilities Ili' treatment of the natives
has always been punctuated with con-
sideration for their Ignorance and SUPER
sttion. In fact, I've often been sur.
prised to see how much patience he is
capable of displaying. You must re-
member that | am his servant. and am
brought in more familiar contact with

Have you ever known Mr.. Stanley to
be guilty of an act Of cruelty to either u
native or a white man?"
No Cruelty is something which is
not natural to him. / have, however,
known him TO punish those who de-
served punishment, but never unless it
was case of nee ,s,ity, rs matter of
example, or something of that kind. l

faced and cuifed with red silk. and
adorned with gilt buttons instead of the
ordinary black ones
The guests assemble beforehand in q
waiting room-at Balmoral this is called
the anteroom, but at Windsor the grand
corridor is used for this purp, ,se. They
range themselves in two lows, the ladies
on one side and the gentlemen on the
other. and the persons of highest rank
are placed furthest from the door at
which the queen will enter. About
20 O'clock the queen appears. ard
when she has received the sautations Of
her guests she passes down between the
two rows to the door of the state dining
room. and gees straight in to dinner.
The guests jim in couples and follow
her. During dinner there is very little
talking. The guests converse among
themselves in whispers, for it is not ac-
cording to etiquette to speak loud.
From time to time the queen speaks to
some one of her guests, but. as it is not
proper to disagree with her, there is,
naturally, not very much done in the
way of conversations between her mai
esty and her subjects. Dinner usually
lasts for an hour or SO, after which the
whole party adjourn to the drawing
room. Here the queen makes few re-
marks to each guest in turn. which the
latter reply to suitably, and without the
smallest trace Of originality.
This ended, the queen returns to her
private apartments, and the dinner
party is ended 1t must be added, how
ever. that. dull as these entertainments
are, there is not a single person who
would seriously wish never to be
present at one, for an invitation to dine
at one of the royal palaces with tho
queen is the highest social honor that
can be conferred on subject i Tie

WITH LOVE AWAY.

There's nothing left worth while to say.
The house Il empty, dull and cold:
] feel as If were growing old
My loves away.
The clock ticks on like solemn fate
Its hands but point to the hour of eight;
Put time goes by on lcadcn feet;
There's nothing left worth having, sweet,
With love away.
] restless wander to and fro.
My footsteps echoiug as ] go;
The soul of music all has fed.
And every grace and JOY seems dead
When loves away.
o Love! dear Lovel bring back TO me
Ny heart and soul that went with thee,
Bring bacS thyself, my day, my light,
Let no more fall 5 black night,
W it'll love away.
