Suffers Fort is fast assuming it's orig

the outer walls is progressing rapidly.
Nearly the whole southern and eastern
portions have been completed, including
the bastion on the southeast corner. In
short space of time the bastion on the
northwest corner will be pushed to COM

the original cannon which graced the

Owing to the extreme scarcity of the

Major Gett May Safely Prolong His
Honeymoon and Trust His
Clients to Mr.. Miller.

When the case of Fred. Wichers for
disturbing the peace was called in the Po-
lice Court yesterday, a hitherto retiring
disciple of Blackstone doomed up at the
bar in the person of Arthur E. Miller.
The young gentleman is a junior in the
office of Major w. A. Gett, and his prin-
cipal being absent on business of no less
importance than is involved in wedding
tour, and another attorney retained in the
case also being absent, the responsibility
rested upon Mr.. Miller to sustain the
firm.
Mr.. Miller came armed for the fray,
asked for continuance of the case, and
in order that his request should be prop
erly considered he read section from the
code supporting his rights.
City Attorney Hart, fortified with as
much assurance and somewhat more ex-
perience than that of the new barrister.
asked that the case proceed.
Judge Cravens stated that the case had
been continued for longer time than
usual, and he saw no reason for further
delay and it must go on.
But Mr.. Miller was not to be downed
so easily, and he at once drew forth from
his inside pocket an affidavit, which he
read TO the court, and it was to the effect
that an important witness was absent and
could not be produced, aud it was long
and full of words, and was subscribed to
by Wichers, the defendant.
Then he produced another affidavit
This was even longer and wordier. was
subscribed to by himself, and related,
among other interesting things that his
principal Major Gett, was abroad on his
wedding tour and the defendant, Wich-
ers, was without counsel.
This second affidavit was one too MANY
for City Attorney Hart, and he rose to the
emergency with a fluent and rather caus-
tic speech. He said he could readily see
how it was that Major Gett was unayoid-
ably absent, and he realized that the bus
mess OF a wedding tour should not be in
terfered with, but there We're other attor-
news in town with ability-and titles
quite as formidable. He thereupon enum-
Grated General Hart, Major Anderson,
several ex-Judges and some non-com-
missioned attorneys who might be Sc
cured.
Young Mr.. Miller was not dismayed,
however. He held his ground and re-
piled, in good argument, that his client
was not prepared to retain and give up
his shekels to all the practitioners at the
bar In Sacramento.
The discussion finally ended by the
Judge declaring recess, during which
Mr.. Miller could prepare another affida-
Wit. The final result was that another
titled lawyer-Major Anderson-was Sc
cured by the defense, and the case was
deferred until the afternoon session.
Mr.. Miller impressed the audience with
the fact that he was blossoming lawyer
Of nerve and ability, and many prophe-
cies were overheard that he had a future
directly in front OF him, and that Major
Gett might continue to the end of his tour
with implicit confidence in Mr.. Miller at
home.

The hopes of cure held out in the adj
vertisements Of mum berless remedies are
mere phantoms, without the slightest
shadow of reality about them. On the
other hand, no statement has ever been
made in behalf of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters that is not susceptible of ample
substantiation. Care has ever been taken
in laying its claims before the public to
circumscribe those claims with the
bounds of truth. Allegations outside of
these form no blot on the record of this
sterling, time-honored remedy, proven
by the most respectable evidence to be
remedy for and preventive of malarial

LEVEE IMPROVEMENT
Preliminary Work by Trustee Green
and Engineer Boyd.

At the special meeting of the City Trus-
tees yesterday, held for the purpose of
considering matters in connection with
the proposed improvement of the levees,
Trustee and Street Commissioner Green
reported that himself and Mr.. Boyd had
called on most of the property-owners
whose premises would be affected by the
widening and raising of the river front
levee. Many of them had expressed a
willingness to allow right of way over
their property without charge, while
others talked as if they would insist on
being allowed damages. One of the lat
ter class wanted as high as 81 zoo.
The matter was discussed at some length
by the members OF the board, who ex-
pressed themselves as being disappointed
because none of the property-owners in
terested had attended the meeting, as re-
quested TODD.

THE BATTLE ORA WING NEAR.


Only sixteen days more and the
clans will be gathered in Houston
grim, determined and defiant. THE
STATESMAN hopes that those revolv'
ing fans will be wound up and put in
good working order. 1t also hopes
that the Bayou City will lay in an
abundant supply of ice, and that the
"cold drink" counters will beprepared
to do a rushing business. For the con-
vention will be warm, and will need
artificial aid to reduce its tempera-
ture. Whatever the result may be-
the convention will be warmer still
before it adjourns. The campaign
has, from first to last, engendered bad
temper on both sides. Those people
who don't want Hogg reelected are
very much in earnest about it, and
those who don't want Clark don't
want him at all. There has been no
medium ground for anybody;
except that this has been
and still is a kind of triangu-
lar duel, for there is quite a
large contingent who do not want
either Clark or Hogg, and these, as
we'll as the others, are dreadfully
"sot in their ways" There seems
little chance of reconciling the war
ring elements, even should the cover.
nor have enough votes to re-nominate
him on the first ballot, as he already
claims. For there are grim hints that
in that case state fight will be made
of it, until November decides the
question. And in the mean time Dem
ocracy in Texas has foe to measure
strength with of whose prowess we can
form no idea. The contest in Senator
Mills old district should give us q
very high opinion of the strength OF
the Third party, at least in that part
of Texas. Their claims in other sec.
tions of the state are yet to be verified
but they are sweeping. In the face Of
this foe who will prove an ally to Re.
publicanism and every other ism op
posed to Democracy, the Houston con.
vention has duty to perform fol
Democracy, unequaled in importan &c
to the party for the last twenty years
Shall the ambition of one man rule
that convention or the true interests
of the party and of all Texas?

the Rockwell Noyes contested elect ion
case decided by the house some time
ago. He was present during the Oh B.
cussion of the case in the house. I'm
witness had not seen any memoe rs
reeling on the floor during the pre- sent
session. He saw no members VINO ne
thought were drunk. The gentleman
who made the remark "Where was g!
at?n had made a speech in his behalf
while the election cases were in pro-
gress. He (witness) was associated
with him great deal before
the speech was delivered, as
sisting him. The man
worked hard and was considerably
exhausted. He was, Rocky ell said,
in no way intoxicated or under the
influence of liquor. Witness met the
gentleman Immediately after the
speech and he was not in the least in
toXicated.
Mr.. Turner of Georgia testified that
one night session he had seen men,
Der who he thought drunk.
Mr.. Oates of Alabama was the next
witness. During his testimony it de-
veloped that Representative Cobb OF
Alabama, was the person who made
the speech in the contested election
case and who was the person charged
with intoxication by Watson. Some
question having arisen as to whether
it was proper to allow his
name to- remain on record
inasmuch as no other names had been
given. Cobb remarked that whether
his name was mentioned or not every
body knew who was meant. He ap-
piled to the committee to let the mat
ter proceed and asked the COM
mittee to make a searching investiga.
ton, saying that he was not afraid OF
the result.
Mr.. Oates said that when Cobb was
speaking he appeared greatly ex-
hausted and some one sent him some
thing to drink. Stimulants, he OBJ
served, had some effect on Cobb, en-
livening his manner. Witness de-
clared, however, that Cobb was not
drunk. He had known him q years
and never knew him to be drunk al
though he took drink sometimes.

TEXAS AT THE FAIR.

And Austin still leads the process
SIGN when it comes to solid progress,
with no brag or buster about it. Aus
tin is the Worlds Fair headquarters
for the State, and an Austin lady has
succeeded in organizing the Texas
women and accomplishing with their
aid what Galveston with all her
wealth acknowledged that she could
not do. All Texas will feel proud of
these patriotic women who, in this
crisis, have saved the honor of the
State; and too much can not be said
of Mrs. Tobin, whose success under
SO many adverse circumstances is
proof positive of her magnificent ad-
ministrative ability. Now let the
Texans everywhere rally to the help
of the women, and make their triumph
more triumphant still.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

Those people who have persisted in
the opinion that the Peoples party
movement amounted to very little
would do we'll to glance over the re-
turns from the recent election of sue
cessor to Mr.. Mills. Z. l.. Anthony,
the Democratic nominee, received 49,
$50 votes, while l. n. Barber, The
Peoples party candidate, received TO-
S04. True, the Democrats won, but
by small majority, and Barber actu-
ally carried Burleson, Milan and Ma
varro counties, the last of which is Mr..
Mill's home county. Only few months
have passed since this party was
organized, yet in some counties
it is already strong enough to beat
the Democrats in the very strongholds
of Democracy. Where does their
strength come from? Not from the
Republicans, because the event will
show that the Republican vote is di-
minished very little, if any. Not
from the negroes, for whatever their
ultimate designs may be the Peoples
party have as yet taken no pains to
secure the negro vote. Many of the
number are no d ubt malcontents and
soreheads, political jewellers in tents
who are always wandering
from one party to another;
but the melancholy truth is
that the Peoples party is receiving
large proportion of its reinforcements
straight from the ranks of the Demo-
Gratis. And it is equally true that the
Democratic party is responsible for
this detection on the part of some of
its best men. Undemocrat!c corrup-
ton and undemocratic chicanery have
crept into the old party, and bid fair
to do it more damage than the shock
of hundred battles. 1t cannot be
wondered at that men grow dissatis-
fed and begin to look elsewhere for
political affiliations. The great mis-
take they have made is in following
after such vague and chimeri-
cal hopes as the Peoples
rty holds out to them, in.

CYRUS FIELD, who had a fortune
of $4,000, 900 five years ago, said on
his death bed he regretted not hav.
ing made his boys earn their own liv.
ing, so that they might have learned
the value of money. The old adage
that there is but ore generation De-
tween shirt sleeves and shirt sleeves
has great deal of truth in it. The
man who begins poor and lays up an
immense fortune, leaving it to a son
who has been raised to consider pow
erty and work disgrace, has given
that son poor start in life. The for
tune is quickly scattered, and the
sons son has to go back to work
handicapped by generation OF
wrong training and over indulgence.
