STOCKs.-The apathy of operators in the
stock market showed still further in
crease to-day and the dealings in the mar
ket for the great majority Of the list and
during the greater portion OF the day were
utterly devoid of feature or interest There
was no demand for stocks, except
the Industrials, and the selling

An opportunity was afforded in Bos-
ton, the other day, TO inspect one of the
contracts Of the Western Ball AsSocia-
ton. An offer was made to a frst-class
player, who had received about s., 200
last season, to play for half that amount
during the coming season. In add
ton, he was 10 pay his own fare to the
West and return. which would amount
TO at least 500. He would be obliged
10 furnish two complete sets Of uni
forms, including a necktie, and while
on the road suffer a deduction OF 80
cents a day from his salary To pay for
his board. These expenses would bring
bis salary down to SIS per month, not
counting mis- board. This simply shows
what hard row the player who has
not got in out OF the wet will have TO
hoe this season.

OLD TINS DIRECTIONS.
How Prize Fighters Used to Knock Zach
Other Out

Other Out
Modern milling has greatly improved
since l74l. Sir Thomas Parkyns pub
lished a book on boxing, aud died the
same year. Perhaps il was 20 much
strain for the blooming nObleman's
brain. In his direction TO boxers, Sir
Thomas says:
II. BY all means have the first blow
with your head, or his breast, rather
than at his face, which is half the bat
tie; by reason, ie strikes the wibd out OF
his body.
80. II you have long hair, soap il.
The best holds are the piniOn with your
arms at his shoulders and your head at
his face; or get your right arm under
BIS chin, and your left behind his neck
straight, by holding each elbow with
contrary hand and crush his neck, with
your fingers in his eyes, and your tin
gers Of your right hand under his chin,
and your left hand under the hinder
part OF his head; or twist his head
around by putting your hand TO the
side OF his face and then behind his
head"
Where would some Of the modern
scrappers be in this game? Let US
thank ourselves that we do not recOg-
nize any such brutal methods In the
arena Of to-day. Queensbury rules are
good and fair enough for any man to
fight under.

His Evolutionary Powers.
John L. Sullivan is very proud OF his
ability as a reader, and seldom loses an
opportunity TO display it, being not at
all particular as TO the time or place.
He always has a newspaper In his peck
81, and, upon meeting a friend in car
or hotel corridor. he is pretty sure to
call his attention to some item in the
paper, aud read it 70 him aloud. The
6Stlc champion has really considerable
talent as reader. He possesses a tne
voice, and surprises his friends with
the amount of expression that ne
puts into the reading OF a pro-
sale sporting item. Reading" said he
the other day, after having given a
specimen Of his elocutiOnary power, sis
a fine art. l believe in reading well or
not all In reading an account OF a
murder he sometimes wakes STACEY,
bringing out for all they are worth the
pathetic and tragic features. The re-
pOrters who pen the news items have
no idea Of the dramatic elements thai
Turk in them, until the Big Fellow
brings them out 10 his peculiar style.
John conceived a love for elocu.iOn
from the moment that he began 20
study his part for the stage, and effect
i've reading is now almost as great
study with him as effective smuggling.

They Rob Several People But Didn't Get
the Editors Diamond.
BRENNAN, Tex, July %. - The
burglars and providers are here still.
About 2 o'clock this morning Miss
Neelie Guyton, who sleeps with her
sister, Miss Mary, at their home in
the eastern part of the city, was
awakened by some one touching her.
She Immediately discovered that it
was not her sister and screamed. The
assailant, who was in bed with her,
clutched her by the throat and choked
her, but not tight enough to pre-
vent her from screaming again
and again. Her sister awoke and cried
out also. Her brother Abe Guyton
was sleeping on the gallery, heard. the
noise and rushed into the room but
not in time to prevent the escape of
the william, who rushed out and got
away. The neighbors aroused by the
cries of the young ladies went over
and they learned from Miss Neelie the
facts above stated. She thinks tn
rascal was negro but is not positive
Nothing has been discovered to indi-
cate who it was.
The residence of Geo. Tucker, editor
of The Banner, was entered, his
trousers were carried into the yard
and rified of $3.50. A diamond stud
and his watch and chain were lying
close by but were not taken.
Mayor j. A. Wilkins home was
burgiarized and several dollars taken
from the clothing of the mayor. His
son, Willie Wilkins, cashier OF Gid
dings & Giddings, who lives with his
father, also lost dollar or two. DR.,
R. H. Wilkin, a brother-in-law OF
Willie Wilkins, who was visiting
him, discovered that his satchel had
been opened and its contents streWn
about the place. Some underclothlng
and one or two small articles was all
he missed.
In the "acre" last night Lena Aus
tin, colored, was robbed OF severa!
dollars. She made complaint agalnsl

life. Walker was shot throughthe
heart and was unarmed. He was q

Attorney General Culberson Presents the
States Case in an Able Manner.
Special to the Statesman.
DALLAS, July 2S.-Charles HI. Gull
berson, attorney general of Texas,
turned his batteries loose on the OPP
ponents of the Texas railway commi j.
sion law in the United States court,
Judge Mccormick on the bench, this
morning.
He said in substance: The plain
tiffs have copiously referred to the
fact that the subject of railroad legis-
lation has been before the people OF
Texas for ten or fifteen years, and that
this method was under four heads.
l. That the railroads be left entirely
alone to be governed by their own
Judgment.
2. By direct legislation on the tariff
8. By railroad commission.
4. BY the government ownership Of
railroads.
Finally about three years ago an
amendment to the state constitution
was submitted to the people of Texas
which provides for the enactment of a
railroad commission law and no legis-
lature ever approached the enactment
of law with more caution than did
the one that passed the bill. Hardly
had the bill passed when bills pre-.
pared by the railroads themselves

WHAT AUSTIN WILL HAVE TO OFFER
HOME SEEKERS.
The Great Beauties and Many Material Ad.
vantages to Follow the Completion of
the DANA Glorious yet Truthful
Prophecy.

In less than year from now Aus
tin will be in position to throw wide
her gates and invite commerce and
travel to come within her bounds.
She will then have completed one of
the grandest and most difficult under
takings ever tried in the south and
her "Dam" will stand forth to
be viewed by the world who
may we'll be surprised that
mans inventive brain has con-
ceived the plan and executed the
work that encloses the waters of a
river 1900 miles in length and forms a
lake thirty miles long, that will be
utilized for power to drive the wheels
of the hundreds of factories that will
throng the stream in it's immediate
vicinity. And now what a beautiful
scene is presented by that glistening,
sparkling sheen of water that circles
and winds through the green mead
ows and the towering cliffs of the rug
ged mountains We do not claim, nor
can we hope that the waters of this
vast lake will partake of the qualities
of that mystical spring the romantic
Spaniard sought through the delusive
blooms and fatal mists of the Floridas.
They cannot, pure and sweet though
they be, impart everlasting life. But
they have power to quicken and
freshen and prolong the vital energies,
and they may prove not less the
solace of the old as well as the young.
The music of its waters murmuring
the mysteries of nature to the stars by
night, and keeping time to the busy
pulse of trade by day, will always be
the music of "peace and love" thing
of Joy and lasting beauty. The patter
and splash of the falling waters, as
they shoot over the sixty foot dam in
the moonlight; the shadow of the
trees in the noontide; the music of the
church bells from the distant city; the
musical noise of the children and
birds; the cry of the cricket as the
sun goes down; the roll of the wheels
on the shady boulevard, all are sounds
that depict alike pleasure, health and
prosperity in the city rightly named
the dCity of the Violet Crown" aud
with the decline of day a night OF
rare southern beauty bathed in the
softest and clearest of moonlight
greets the eye of the stranger. Stand
ing like sentinel of Nature keeping
guard over the chosen garden of the
gods, stands towering mountain just
to the left of this beautiful lake where
there should shortly be erected a
large and commodious and elegant
southern hotel that will amply accom-
modate Thousand guests.
