NINE HOURS.
One Firm Yields to the Demand-PicnIc for
Colored Children at Dallas-The
Oak Cliff Barbecue.
Special to the Gazette.

SPcSiai ~ Lie IdZtLlc
DALLAS, TEX, May S.-The status of the
strike is not materially changed since yes
terday. further than the fact that a few
more men are out at various points around
town. The cable road this morning brought
IN some workmen from their power house
and began placing the iron work in its
proper position in the trenches already dug,
but no attempt was made TO eXcayate more
trenches. Contractor Loonie of the Jackson
street sewer to-day granted his men nine
hours IS days work at their old pay, with
the understanding that ten hours was to
be again adopted on next Tuesday in case
the nlne-hour system was not adopted on
other work throughout the city.
This day was set apart by the directors
of the city schools for the annual picnic of
the colored school children. This morning
the school headed by band marched down
Elm street to the courthouse where cars
were in waiting to conduct them TO the fair
grounds. At the ground the children had
a generally good time. about ZOO being
present. The street car lines carried the
children free, the same as they did the
white children week ago. The directors
were all present and did their best to make
the day pleasant one for their colored
charges. At late hour the children were
brought back to the city, all well pleased
with their da US outing.
The barbecue and musical entertainment
at Oak Cliff park for the benefit of the
Girls cooperative home, has been a
great success. In the mornining the FEEDER
alton of Labor paraded the streets and
went in body to the grounds. Gen. B. F.
Gable was marshal of the day and, with
other distinguished speakers, addressed the
crowds assem- bled. At 2 o'clock sumptu-
Gus dinner was served and freely partalien
by all. After the dinner the Dallas juvenile
MINISTRIES gave an entertainment in the
Park theater and the performance will be
repeated tonight. The proceeds were large
and greatly appreciated by the ladies who
have in charge the erection of the home,

CHAPTER Y.

TT had been Howard's intention to
L rise early in the morning, and nj his
first awakening it being quite dark, he
struck light and was surprised at the
lateness of the hour. According to his
watch it was past sunrise. lie went to
the kitchen and, building fire,
began preparations for breakfast.
Finding that the draft in the chimney
was closed, and that there was no
abatement in the intense darkness, ho
opencd the door and found the snow
banked clear to the top and beyond.
What WAS the matter? Had the snow
drifted over and buried his house? II
sncmcd so, for such things did some
times happen. Procuring Il shovel, h,
worked his way 10 the top of the snow
bank. He found it was quite light on
there, and the storm passed, although
the bleak, leaden clouds still huns
gloomy and low along the rugge,
mountain sides.
Working his way to the kitchel
chimney, he succeeded, after considera
BILE labor, in opening the vent, an,
soon had the satisfaction of seeing th
smoke come pouring through. He mex
gave his attention to the other chimney
and in thirty minutes had it cleared

and knocking ut the door leading I

'Nevertheless, 1T is past eight O'Clock.
and by this time we should have been
ten miles on our road and would have
been but for my stupid oversIceping of
myself
"Pleasc do not cbide yourself, SIR -
she said. "You had very trying day
OF IT yesterday, and needed all the rest
you got. But what makes it so dark p''
''Come with me and | will show
you, said he, leading the way to
where he had cut a passage through the
top of the snow drift.
1t was beautiful sight that met her
gaze. AS far as the eye could reach,
the face of nature was overwhelmed
with the white, cleaning snow. OF
their house not even chimney was
visible. The snow had banked clear
over them. Adown the valley, up along
the mountain side, the same aIl-per-
yading element enveloped everything.
Even the rapid little stream that flowed
along the base of the mountain was
bridSed over with Il rudimentary gla-
cler ten feet high. Great boulders that
yesterday had stood like grim sentinels
at the entrance to the mountain gorge
had disappeared, and only little hum
mocks in the whited waste told where
the largest ones stood.
The storm had been one of those
sudden ones that sometimes come
sweeping down the mountain slopes
and overwhelm everything in their
euergy. These storms are rarely gen
eral. They are often less than fifty
miles in width and seldom extended
more than one hundred miles into the
plains. But their fury is something
wonderful. Sometimes as much as ten
feet of snow is precipitated in the val
leys in single night. This is easily
accounted for The wind raging
through the lofty mountain gaps, sweeps
the falling snow down into the valleys,
packs it along the slopes, or drives it
far out on the plains beyond. Frequent
ly it is drifted into great heaps that re-
main barrier To travel for months.
The scene impressed Grace rs some
thing so strange, So novel, so grand
that she could only express admiration
mt this magnificent manifestations of
Gods shandiwork-one of nature s mas
terpieces. Poor girl! had she compre-
hended the immensely of the barrier
that obstructed the pathway to her
father, her delight would have been
changed to sadness and despair.

A Few Figures in Taxation.
Wnshin1tnn PnSf

The annual expenditures of the Uni
ted States are at present in round num-
bers $3.50, 100000. The annual expen-
diturcs for the next two years will be
above $500, 100000. So gradual has
this enormous expenditure grown that
the people have become insensible TO
its magnitude. Something of the latter
may be comprehended by comparison.
The United States is the greatest
wheat producing country in the world.
1t is the greatest oats producing coun-
try in the world. The value of last
years wheat crop was 1884 900, 900;
the oat rop,S222, 100000.
1t will take nearly the entire crop of
wheat and oats in this country TO pay
next years expenses of the govern
ment.
There is in this country an annual
product of gold of S33, 100000; of sill
yer, S6l 100000 of copper, S33 ,000,-
900; of iron, $l07, 100000; of coal,
| $l9l ,000,0 of petroleum, S24 ,000,-
900; of lead, S15, 900, 900.
All the gold, silver, copper, iron,
coal, petroleum and lead produced i'm
this country last year could not pay
the expenses of the government for the
same length of time.
All the cotton, all the wool or all the
rye, barley, wine, potatoes and tobacco
produced in this country in a year could
not do it.
The national banks of this country
have combined capitalization of $685.
100000. One years expenses of the
government would all but swallow up
this sum.
These are figures on government
taxation alone. Add to this city, ,coun-
ty, and state taxation, and something
of the enormity of the burden may b,
comprehended.
The United States has no great stand
ing army, no government railroads, nc
immense navy, no profligate court o
kings and princes. Yet its annual ex-
) penditures are greater than those oi
1 Austria or the German Empire, greater
than Great Britain and Ireland, greater
t than British India and China, as grea
rs those of the Russian Empire.
The revenue for this enormous expen
!, iiture is acquired in but one way, b,
q taxation, by levy in one form or anoth
er, mainly in an Indirect form on the
8 substances of the people.
There is here some mental pabulun
! not unworthy of digestion.

STORY OF MISSOURI AND COLOEADO
JAMES f. PAYNE.

everything to your courage and man
hood;" and she gave him her hand il
trusting confidence.
Almost rudely he shook it off, ano
assisting her to mount, he vaulted int,
his own saddle and led the way across
the trackless plain in an easy gallop.
Soon the snOwflakes began falling
thicker and faster they came sitting
down, and ere long the ground was
covered.
Then the wind raised, and presently
blew gale. 1t had shifted to the
northwest ard was blowing full in theil
faces; but ending his course by his
compass, Howard pushed forward as
speedily as he. could.
Fearing the horse Grace was riding
would not be able to keep up, he
fastened his lariat to its bit, and lead
ing it, pressed forward.
After an hours hard riding, the
trail to his lodge was struck, but it was
already covered with snow, and the
way became still more painful and
difficult. To add to their discomfort,
night had overtaken them and their
progress,was slow.
Scarcely n word was spoken by
either of this couple so strangely
thrown together. The man rode on in
dogged silence, thinking of the cruel
dismissal of seven years ago, yet long
ing to take this suffering woman to his
heart.
Grace had not recognized in her gal
liant rescuer the lover of former years,
and felt deeply wounded at his GOODNESS
and unsympathetic manner. She was
in sore distress concerning the fate OF
her companion of the morning, but
concealed from her present escort her
emotions, fearing to offend or annoy
him by giving expression to them.
"CryIng women are not cheeeful com
panions," she thought.
That she still loved Howard Hern-
don and held sacred his memory, was
true. After her dismissal of him that
night, when they met the last time, she
only knew he had left l.. What
had become of him, she had never
learned. He had gone west, but no
haAoh Hoicu Shi Hau accompanied
him, and at times she had almost
doubted the evidence of her own senses,
and could not drive away the impress
sion that she had been made the victim
of base plot.
Besides, she had heard incidentally
that on the night she had, as she sup,
posed, seen him and the girl, Nanctte,
at the rear of her fathers garden, ht
had been in st. Joseph on secret mis-
sion for his employer.
But maidenly pride forbade an in
vestagation, and she had suffered il
silence, while love for the absent on,
became shrine in memory's hol,
crypt.
Yet, sincerely as she cherished tha
memory, had she known that this grin
and silent man, whose form lowered "
dimly in the gloom of the storm, wa
her former lover, she would have per
ished in the snow rather than go to hi
home as place of protection.

EVERY YEAR.
BY ALBERT PIKE.

The spring has less OF brightness
Every year
And the snow ghastlier whiteness
Every year;
Nor do summer flowers quicken
Nor autumn's fruitage thicken
AS they once did, for they sicken
Every year.
1t is growing darker, colder,
Every year;
And the heart and soul grow older
Every year;
] care not now for dancing.
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less and less enhancing
Every year.
VI the lives and sorrows blended
Every year;
OF the charms of friendship ended
Every year.
OF the ties that still might bind me.
Until time to death resigned me,
My infirmities remind me,
Every year.
YesI the shores of life are shifting.
Every year;
And we are seaward drifting,
Every year;
Old pleasures, changing, fret us;
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher,
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher.
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter.
EVERY Year.
