BABY CURED OF ECZEMA.
Mothers and Minister'S Testimony
Head Mass of Putrefaction-Doc-
tor Fails-Cured in Quick
Time by Cuticrfra.

deem it my duty to inform you of the won
derful cure of eczema which Cuticura Remedies
brought upon our little baby, three months OLD.
When about two and onehalf months old, the
whole of its little head became one mass of pu-
trefaction, over which we became very much
alarmed, as the medicine prescribed by eur
ply stefan only seemed to aggravate and increase
the intense pain the little thing seemed to be in.
We were utterly at a loss to know what to do as
the physician seemed to have exhausted all eff
forts to give relief But through the recon-
mendation of Rev. J. G. Ashern, pastor of
Brooks Circuit NJ. L. Church Society we were
induced to try the Cuticura Remedies, and after
few days application, we were astonished as
well as delighted over the rerult We contin-
ued the use of the medicine according to direc-
tons, and after few weeks the little fellow was
entirely cured with no traces of the disease left
Many thanks for this wonderful cure
Mrs. JOHN HOLSTEIN, Quitman, Ga.
1t gives me great pleasure to testify to the
facts cOnra aimed in Mrs. John Holstein's testimo-
NAL concerning the cure of her little baby
When saw it did not think it possible for it to
live. l. however recommended Cuticura Rem
edies would do it, My most sanguine eXpecta-
ton eliminated in perfect cure.

Observation-Disclosures

Mayor Fulton and the city council
have bounced the board of public
works at Galveston on the ground
that they were "obstructionists."
This little action indicates the spirit
that is taking possession OF the whole
state. There is no room for obstruc-
tionists in Texas, whether they occupy
the governors chair or some lower
position; and they must either get out
the way or be run down. The defeat
of Gov. Hogg, the chief obstructionist
of all, the man whose attitude toward
the outside world has done the state
great injury, may be almost conf
IDENTIFY expected; and from the very
day mis- successor is nominated, re-
action will set in throughout the state
and the country. The STATESMAN
does not believe in wild, extravagant
methods and chimerical schemes, but
there is no reason why Texas should
not have progressive man at the
head of her government. There is a
wide difference between the obstruc-
ZIONIST and the dreamer, and there is
no reason why the governor of Texas
should not be both conservative and
progressive. Texas is simply tired of
being held back, all her best interests
fNs. r.olx nd hnr n al nn ~,
every possible way. If these diff
culties came from without, they posi-
bly, would have to be endured with
some degree of patience, but the state
is tired of obstructionists at home
who plant themselves in the way and
try to stop the procession.

A LITTLE CONTRAST.

The contrast between the Hogg
campaign and the Clark campaign
never appeared more striking or for
chile than in the respective views Of
the two men in regard to the siding
and switches land sold by the railroad
companies to innocent purchasers. In
his Galveston speech Governor Hogg
was asked by gentleman in the au-
dience, Suppose man has home
on section of this land bought from
railroad in good faith. Do you pro-
pose to take it from him?" And the
governors reply was; ''No sir; but if
that man has purchased a section of
this land from railroad he will have
to surrender about one-tenth, or sixty.
four acres Of it, in the interest of the
State. However, [ would favor law
giving him the exclusive privilege to
purchase it back at a low price,
and on long time payments"
That is one view to take of this mat
ter. The other view is very different
one. In his speech in Austin yester-
day, George Clark said with an
earnestness that brought ringing
shouts of approval from the people:
"If / were elected governor, one of
the first things / would recommend to
the legislature would be to remove
the clouds from the titles to these
lands that people have bought in good
faith from the railroads"
THE STATESMAN believes that every
man that loves justice and fair play
will side with Clark in this matter.
The governor offers these innocent
purchasers one of two alternatives;
either to give up portion of the land
which they have bought and
paid for, or to pay for
it twice. For the governor of
Texas to lend his mighty influence to-
ward making land titles insecure is
an injury to the state, from which
she will not soon recover. The peo-
pie of other states are already pos
ses,ed with the belief that it is unsafe
to buy lands in Texas, because the
titles are not good; and now comes
the governor and does his best to turn
that belief into certainty by wrest-
ing from actual settlers portion of
the land purchased by them in good
faith from corporations which re-
ceived their titles direct from the
state. Clark undoubtedly said a
grand thing when he made that
speech; and . contrast he places the
governor in lost unenviable posi-
tiOn.

LAST NIGHTS GATHERING.

LAST NIGHTS GATHERING.
In answer to the invitation of Chair
man Graham at the opera house, the
people again assembled in front of
that building at 8 O'Clock. They came
from all quarters of the city and
by the time the march was taken
up to the Driskill there were
fully 1,50O or 1900 people in line.
Down the avenue they came, headed
by the Capital City band, car
rying flaming torches, sending
out strains of inspiring music and in
creasing the enthusiasm to such an
extent that the serenaders could not
begin to contain themselves. Cheer
after cheer rent the air, while num-
Der of them, who had armed them
selves with villianous tin horns, add
ed to the discordant din by their I'M
earthly shrieks. At the corner of
Pecan street, where the parade turned
east to the hotel, Greek lights were
set off. About 500 people were
in waiting, and when the throng from
the opera house mingled in on Brazos
street opposite the ladies' entrance
mass of cheering and yelling human
ity was formed, the equal of which
would be hard to find in any town in
this or any other state.
A stand had been erected on the
sidewalk on which burned big
lamp, and wnen Judge Clark made
his appearance the noise was loud
enough to have been heard at the
dam.
In the uproar and confusion it was
utterly impossible for the reporter to
catch and give the speeches in full, so
that very briet summary will have
to suffice. The Little Warwick as
soon as he could be heard again
thanked the people for the magnifi-
cent reception that has awaited him
on every side since his arrival here
on last Sunday afternoon, and assured
them that the love he has borne Aus
tin has been increased ten fold by the
h0nors and courtesies he has received.
He was followed by Major Buck Wal
ton, and Messrs. A. H.. Graham, Hal
Linn and r. M. Hall all of whom
made eloquent and impassioned
speeches.

THE drawings exhibited at the
Academy of Design in New York are
said to have grown somewhat freer
every year, but the exhibition just
opened to the public is so broad in its
character as to shock even the most
enthusiastic lover of art. The New
York papers openly assert that if
those pictures were reproduced in any
book or paper it would be instantly
suppressed by the authorities, yet
they are hung upon the walls of the
academy and the public are invited to
come and look. The World intimates
that here is a field for DR.. Parkhurst
outside of the slums. 1t is dark day
for any country when Art walks hand
in hand with Vice, and genius pros
titutes itself to help spread corruption
through the land.

The New York World makes this
bold assertion: mot one dollar in
ten spent for so-called river and har-
Dor improvements, during the last
twenty years, has been of any benefit
to commerce or to the country" This
looks like very dangerous state
ment, and one that might easily lead
the World into an awkward position
If 1t could be disproven; but there is
method in the Worlds madness. 1t
is well known that in every appro-
priation of this kind is covered up an
extensive amount of jobbery; and in
the majority of cases the money that
goes into the jobs is greatly in excess
of the amount that goes to the inn
proven ent of the rivers and harbors.
And even aside from this considera-
tion, it has long been apparent that
the rivers and harbors have made a
convenient dumping ground for the
Governments surplus funds. How
many million dollars have been
expended at Galveston, in the heroic
effort to make harbor for deep sea
vessels? And though hope springs
eternal in the breast of every Calves
tonian, the bar is still there, and
even the White Squadron, invited to
do honor to a great occasion, was fore
ed to anchor outside the bar where
Galveston could not catch even the
mallest glimpse Of it without going

4 Tremendous Barley Farm.

"We have now secured 100000 acres
of land in North Dakota for barley farms,
and next spring We will send thousands
of German emigrants to that State from
Ohio, West Virginia aud Indiana" said
Colonel o. NJ. Towner last evening, as he
discussed the future of this great North
ern State. Colonel Towner is manager
of what is best known rs the Barley Syn.
dictate of Chicago. During the last two
or three months the coroany has sue.
ceeded in securing $50, 900 acres Of land
in North Dakota, on which it is proposed
to place German farmers to raise barley
for malt purposes. These lands have been
purchased in Nelson, Norman, Towner,
Ramsey, Steele and Bottineau Counties.
1t is the opinion of the managers of this
company that barley can be most success
fully grown in that State, and they have
the conviction of their belief sufficiently
to purchase these lands and to send out
emigrants from other States. The Ger.
mans are chosen on account OF their
knowledge CT barle, culture for this pur-
pose. These emigrants will not be ten
ants, but owners of the land, it being
sold to them on easy terms. The crops
will be bought by the company ard
shipped to all points where there is a de-
mand for barley for brewing purposes

Cooking For a Commodore.

Antonio Doliviera .Botheilhle, chief
at the Quincy House, Boston, saia the
other day: 81 think one of the bes'
schools fer a man who would please
many fastidious tastes in cooking is OF
board limited States steamship on s
cruise to foreign parts. I was born in
the Azores, but I didn't have much
experience until I went around in the
United States ship Constellation. I was
not cook for the sailors, nor for the
officers, but for one man. That was the
commodore. My experience is that a
commodore is usually a hard man to
please in the matter of cooking. ]
cooked for several commodores-about
half a dozen-in my service of six or
seven years. Generally a commodore is
a man Of good taste in the matter OF
food, and quite as generally he is a man
of decided opinion inregard to certain
dishes. he has a great deal OF time to
devote in the course Of q cruise to the
matter of dining and he becomes an
expert after a while. Then, again, he
visits many foreign ports, and he become
acquainted with foreign dishes and
foreign methods of cooking. He com.
muuicates his knowledge to his cook,
and on the return journey the cook is
supposed to give examples of the newly
acquired knowledge. The cook in a
foreign port learns for himself the native
methods, and if he is a bright man he
can do much to make himself indispen-
sable to his Commodore. My practice
was to learn as much as'I could about
French and German and Italian and
Spanish and other dishes, and very often
in the middle of a dreary return voyage
I have surprised the Commodore with a
much admired dish after the most ap-
proved Italian method. There is moth
ing that will dissipate ennui so rapidly
and completely as the proper appeal to
an enducated and sensitive stomach,
and there is no occasion 50 favorable to
such an appeal as in the weary hours

Peat is q Vegetable.

Peat is a vegetable substance, con-
sisting of roots and ibres in different
stages of decomposition, acquired from
the growth and partial decay of various
aquatic plants, and is found as a kind
of turf or bog in low swampy situations,
sometimes in beds of great depths. 1t is
always more or less saturated with water,
which totally units it for any profitable
use IN vegetation while in its natural
state. When thrown out of its bed and
dried it il often used for fuel, or as an
absorbent, or for composing with anil
NAL mapures. In tie United States it Is
but little known south of the State OIL
New York. Some bogs are found in
the north part of the State, in New
England, aud west and north to Iowa,
Minnesota and Canada. There are i'm
mense bodies of peat in Ireland and
Scotland, where from It's carbanaceous
quality 1t is extensively used as fuel.

SABBATH VISITING.

The Sabbath is in a special manner the
Lords day; a day In which we are to lay
aside our accustomed secular pursuits, to
worship God, to seek spiritual improve
ment.
nv sanctuary" is one of Gods require
ments, a requirement that is still In force.
We are to remember the Sabbath day TO
keep it holy" On it we must not seek our
own worldly pleasures, nor DO our W
worldly business. Our Creator has drawn q
broad line between the Sabbath and the
other DAYS of the week. over which we may
not reckIes sly pass. We are forbidden to
employ the hours Of this day in secular Ia
Dor, only so far as Is. necessary. nor
NAV we employ them in visiting our
friends and neighbors. To do this, is not to
keep the day holy, rs God requires. But
large numbers. aud among them not q few
of the professed friends Of Christ, thus desc
crate it. Although God has kindly. given
them six days in which they may find am
pie time for this purpose, they decline to
be more especially calls his own. And thus
are they guilty of robbing God. They. rob
him tfthe time that he would have them
devote in 8 special manner to his service.
Those sacred hours that he would have them
spend in spiritual meditation, in prayer. i'll
reading his holy Word and in the worship
of the Sanctuary, they spend in visiting for
their own grutihcation. And thus the day
kindly given with desig II to their highest
interest, is lost to this end. They have de-
rived no spiritual benefit from its precious
privileges. They are no better prepared by
means OF them to live or to die.
And not only 50; not only has the day
been lost to themselves, but they have been
the occasion of its being a lost day in n large
measure to others; to those with whom
their visit has been the OCCASION. it may be,
Of d~etaining them from the house of God,
and of occupying time that they might have
devoted to better uses. The Sabbath, on the
part of both parties, has thus been largely if
not wholly, a lost Sabbath. God has been
forgotten, and their own spiritual interests
have been neglected. The spiritual minded
Christian wishes neither to make, nor receive
visits on the Lords day. 1t is rather his de-
sire to enjoy a communion with God and
with heaven. It is the language of his heart,
I'm holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away;
How sweet q Sabbath thus to spend.

The First Electric Tower Clock.

Los Angeles, CAL, boasts the first
tower clock, actuated by electricity, in
the United States. There are four large
dials on the tower, aud twenty smaller
clocks are distributed throughout the
magnificent new court house just COM
pleted there, all operated by the electric
current. The regulator is a large eight
day clock. When its second hand reaches
the end of its round an electric contact
is established which closes the electric
circuit in which all the other clocks are
arranged and causes them to indicate the
lapse Of a minute. The source of elec-
trlcity is a large number Of cells. The
completing of the circuit, made by the
second hand on the regulator reaching
the contact point, causes the current to
flow through the windings of the arma-
lures, provided for each clock, m~agnetizes
the soft iron core, which results in the
release of a lever, allowing the cog wheels
a fraction of a turn.-BoSton Transcript:
