THuSE BONDS.
True Status Of That Waco and
Northwestern Bond Affair.

519 AUSTIN ST

SO much has been written and said
about the Waco and Northwestern
bonds that short history would no
doubt be interesting to the readers of
rHE NEWS. With this object in view
a News reporter interviewed some
old citizen this morning and elected
the 70 lowing information.
la 1872 the Morgan Line Company
who we're operating line of ste amers
to Galveston was the owner or prinoi-
pal stock holder in the Houston and
Texas Central Railway. Waco at the
time had no railroad nearer than
Bremond. The Morgan line proposed
to extend their road to Waco or rsth-
er build a new road to be called the
Waco and Northwestern. This they
proposed to do provided Waco would
take $4,000 worth or stock In the
road. The city was existing at the
time unGer a charter which permitted
such a debt to be made. The city
then issued bonds for the amount and
the Morgan Com pany received them
in lien of the cash but by some negi-
gence or carelessness not now under
stood the stock certificates were never
delivered to the city. The city EN-.
pIoyed eminent legal council both
here and at Washington, ID. c., who
finally rendered an opinion that the
city was legally liable though the con-
TACT in reference &c the stock had not
been complied with.
AS soon as this decision was made
known the city began purchasing and
retiring the bonds as fast as it could
be done. This was done to the extent
of $50, 900 leaving $4,000 worth I'M
paid when they matured. These
bonds, about which so much talk has
been made about the city's credit
being impaired, have never been pre-
scented for payment though they were
advertised for. Some of the holders
were heard from and they preferred to
hod the bonds rather than have them
paid From the present status of
affairs it would be difficult for any one
to ims CINE how the ciry's credit could
be damaged by such a state of affairs.
Evidently an unjust debt at first and
only unpaid because they were not
presented for payment it would take
wonderful stretch of imagination to
call it default.

A Correction.

In our report of court procee dings
Wednesday we stated that Gurley,
Ross and Gurley secured judgment
against the Waco State bank in the
sum of $1,000.
The facts are that the Waco State
bank sued the Gulf, Brazos Valley and
Pacific Railway company on notes
amounting to something near $4,000,
long past due and sued out attach.
ment against their property.
The jury found the attachment
wrongfully sued out and gave it the
value of the property and the bank
took the property attached and return.
ed judgment for the balance Of the
debt.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
OF Pat Cleburne Camp Held Last
Night.

or Pat Cleburne Camp Held Last
Night.
A large and important meeting of
Pat Cleburne camp was held last night
at Mutual Aid hall with Captain G. l..
johnson in the chair and Adjutant
W. c. Cooper at the desk.
Quartermaster John Moore reported
the camp in an excellent financial con.
dition. The report was received and
fled.
A number of committees reported
and among them the committee on
arrangements on Decoration Day cele-
bration. Much interest is being
taken in the work of this committee
which reports satisfactory progress,
and the occasion in every respect will
be grander than ever before. A nnm'
Der of touching speeches were made
and much enthusiasm exhibited.
Ad jutant Moore reported the pur.
chase of new desk which was accep-
ted. A permanent home of the camp
was discussed and referred to a com
mittee. Comrade Harm presented
the camp with fine framed eDgrav
ing of the Inauguration of President
Jefferson Davis, at Montgomery, Ala
in 1861.
Correspondence was set on foot
with a view to getting four dismount
ed cannon for posts in the cemetery
lot of the camp, at lakewood.
1t was suggested that the members
of the camp request their lady friends
to contribute as many flowers as pos
sible with which to decorate the graves
of departed comrades and to lenC
their assistance in making the day I
memorable one. Much other routine
work was done, after which the camp
adjourned.

The Needed Natatorium.

Too much praise cannot be given to
those who erect such public institu-
tions as natstoriums, because they are
public benefactions. They are also
big undertakings and ones in which
the builders take big risks, as little
calculation will show But that they
will pay and pay well Is an assured
fact as soon as the public is educated
to patronize them literally. Take the
cost of natatorium with its real IS
tate and well at $40, 600 and fine one
can hardly be built for less. The in
terest on capital will be at ten per
cent "a, 900 per year. The expenses,
taking the Padgitt natatorum as an
example, amounts to $3640 a year. To
this add taxes, repairs and insurance,
say $3.50, and the total yearly ex
penses will be $4,000. To pay ex.
penses therefore from the pool alone
will require, at % cents each, %
batbers for every day in the year.
Even at these large expenses nata-
forum may be made to pay, provided
that the public can be educated
to patronize them. But here
is the ruo. There could be
no more commodious, pleasing or in
viting place than tho Padgitt natato-
rum. The building, the baths, the
water aud the conduct of the place is
beyond comparison with anything in
the state. No place was ever run
with keener sense of what is due
the great public and no expense is
spared to make it inviting. And yet
this natstorium is not patronized as it
should be. Outside of occasional
crowds the patronage of the natatori-
um is confined to limited number
That number is constant and never
failing. They give the natatorium
preference over everything, because
they fnd health, vigor and amusement
preferable to all other things there
You see there the same people always
and they are good steady custom,
But there are not enough of them
They fall far short of ninety day or
fifty or forty. The fact is it will take
years to get the people, the home peo
pie to fall into swimming as habit.
1t is lamentable that there should
be such an apathy to
the health, the pleasures
and the other virtues of bathing 10
such waters as ours but it is no less a
fact that that apathy exists and that it
will take years to overcome it A
natatorium will just pay expenses from
the pool when ninety people battle IN
it every day in the year and that time
seems to be remote. To be paying
institution it must bring people from
abroad, rich invalids, and to that end
it must be supplied with hotel priVi-
leges and be sequestered from the rush
Of business. Such an institution
bringing money from all parts of the
country would be of immeasurable
benefit to Waco, and be an immensely
paving institution when fully patron
lied. One great natatorium inviting
invalids from the whole world would
make Waco a second Hot Springs
and also accommodate the always
small home patronage which ia to be
expected.

HER BROTHERS TRuusza c1oTz.

81 don't see why / shouldn't have
that piece of cloth for my new tailor
made gown" said young girl not
long ago, when her brothers new
trousers came home from the tailor's.
"But it's for mems trousers" said
her brother.
"That's no reason why girl
shouldn't have a gown of it, if she
wants one," she answered.
1t was soft gray with tiny stripes
of darker gray and hair line of
black running through it. at would
make a pretty gown" said her
mother, doubtfully, not used TO such
innovations as this, even with her fin
de steele daughters, "but it is too
heavy"
"It isn't any heavier than your
Bedford. cord" persisted the
daughter.
And so the patient mother trotted
away to get bit of the Bedford
cord. Sure enough, it wasn't.
81 shouldn't think of having it
lined," said the young woman pos
itively, "except in the bodice and
that with thin silk.
'It cost $3.50 a yard" warned her
brother
$50 does Bedford cord" she an
swered.
And the result was plain from that
moment.
Whether she set the fashion, or
whether by some strange mental tele-
graphy the same idea came to other
girls, you must settle for yourself,
but the fact is that great many
young women have stolen masculine
cloths to have their street gowns
made of.
And many of the patterns are spe-
,ially pleasing and refined in the
iainty hair fine stripes, soft colorings
,r invisible plaids that the man of
rood taste selects for his trousers.

Spurceon,s wit,

Here is good instance, not,of joke,
but of a piece of ready wit which he did
not keep TO himself:
Three young fellows came in and set
tied themselves conspicuously in the
gallery with their hats on. In vain the
officials requested them to uncover. Of
course, Mr.. Surgeons eye was soon upon
them, and, leading his discourse round TO
the respect which all Christians are bound
TO show for the feelings of others, he said:
My friends, the other day 1 went into a
Jewish synagogue, and l naturally un-
covered my head: but on looking round I
perceived that all the rest wore their hats,
and so, not wishing to offend against
what L supposed to be their reverent
practice, though contrary to my own, l
contormed to Jewish use and put on nv
hat | will now ask those three young
Jews up in the gallery to show the same
Difference TO our Christian practice in the
house of God as l was prepared to show
them when | visited their synagogue, and
take off their hats Seldom has there
been a rebuke so genial, so witty and so
lust
