Although the convention had adjourned
until O'Clock tins morning it was consid-
erably after O'Clock before the different
delegations settled down for business. A
funeral sadness seemed to prevade the
atmosphere. Kingcounty was out of Joint
and continued to sulk. As result of the
successive day and night sessions the con-
Yention had barely succeeded in adopting
the amended platform, in nominating four
presidential electors, one Congressman and
a candidate for governor.
The business before the convention at
the morning session was the nomination
Of one Congressman and the remainder
of the state ticket.
The defeat of King county was the
subject that took precedence over all
other topics of conversation.
There seemed TO be a sort of quiet jubilee
over the humiliation of oWashington's
Tammany Hallring, as some Of the oppo-
nents to Seattle expressed it.
A rumor to the effect that the King
county delegation had acquired strength
during the night and would attempt to
gain a reconsideration Of the platform, was
the cause of no little speculative interest
among visitors and disinterested members
Of the third house" who were present
from different parts of the state.
Whether King county would make such
an attempt and whether it would be sue
cessful if made was the unanswered ques-
ton in many minds.

and others had sacrificed their political as
piratiOns for the sake of being consistent
with their efforts in behalf Of the canal
Lewis had made capital out of the defeat
by posing as a martyr, but Ronald admit
ted that he twas whipped"
Throughout the closing session the King
delegation looked bored. They didn't
seem to care who was placed on the ticket
since their darling canal scheme had been
doomed.
Ronald was seen to be carefully study

He concluded, however, to stand by Sc

Egyptian Architecture.

Egyptian architecture, the Oldest OF
known styles, placed the weight firmly
on the ground. In the first stages OF
building the strength of materials and
the art of construction were but imper.
fectly understood, and to obtain security
masses of material were placed on a
broad base, narrowing upward in the
form of pyramid. 1t suggested secu-
rity and permanence. The earliest extant
monument of the work of mantle
pyramids by the Nile-still rest on the
sand of the desert in their majestic
massiveness. The Egyptian buildings
were constructed on the model of the
pyramid. Truncated at various heights
details and characterization, however
varied, left the same impression of Sc.
curity and permanence.
The shelving base, from which springs
the propylon or porch, the multiplica
ton of short, stunted shafts, the shallow
reliefs, are all subservient to the one
idea. The building rests on the ground
and you know it. The slender obelisB
placed in front as foil brought into
prominence the massive solidity of the
building. The accessory sphinx, with
its front paws placed fiat on the pedes'
tai, the body firmly recumbent and the
head solidly draped was a type of inn
mobility and rest - London Tablet.

An 1nefrable cruelty to Children,

Mrs. FenwiclS Muller, London
writer of note, comes out strongly on
the subject of Lady Montague's methods
of discipline, and incidentally has some
plain words to say about punishments
for children in general, and specially
is she moved by that ineffable brutal
ity, the shutting up of young children
in the dark. Darkness is full of ter
rors to a child Out of the gloom
come all sorts of horrible imaginings.
and many child has been half ruined
for life by the terror of darkness, will
fully inflicted by some woman either
too brutal to care or too ignorant to UNI
derstand the Internal cruelty of leaving
children, whose imaginations are often
far more vivid than those of adults, in
all the horror of blackness, out of which
they, in their combined fancy and ig-
norance, ring forth all kinds of terrible
and threatening things. No young chill
dren should ever be left without glim-
mer of light in a bedroom all night
long, as touch of Indigestion, a trou-
blesome dream, a sudden awakening
afraid and into darkness, may work
nerve mischief that may last lifetime
"There is no crime that child can
commit that would entitle us to expose
him or her to the mental agonies of soil
tude in darkness, many peopled as it is
with phantoms and terrors. We know
that even in our prisons this terrible
punishment is only resorted to to subdue
the most violent and refractory prison
ers, and that even then it is hedged
round with many restrictions, and only
permitted to be used for limited space
of time. If there is woman living
whose heart does not respond to thes
strong words there is something very
radically wrong with her."

THEY CAME TO TEXAS.
Gamblers Driven from Arkansas Side Of
Texarkana Drop Over the Line.

Gamblers Driven from Arkansas Side Of
Texarkana Drop Over the Line.
Special to The statesman.
TEXARKANA, Ark, April lathe
new mayor on the Arkansas side, w.
H. Arnold, who went in office last
Tuesday night, has issued orders
which are causing great rafting OF
dry bones in certain quarters. Before
his election Mr.. Arnold published a
card touching what his line of policy
would be if elected mayor, and among
the promises contained in it one to the
effect that he would enforce to the let
ter the Sunday laws, and also against
gamblers and houses of prostitution.
Yesterday all parties were duly noti-
fled by the police that all these
evils would not hereafter be per-
mitted under penalty of the heaviest
fine allowed by law, which would be
far greater than any of the other
parties referred to could afford to pay.
One of the effects of this warnin :
showed itself today, when two out OF
the three public gambling houses
which have for three years past
flourished on East Broad street pack
ed up their baggage and crossed over
the state line into Texas. 1t is under
stood the others will follow within a
day or two, and the understanding is
that all the three will pull up and
leave town within short time. The
cursings of these parties against the
new administration are loud
and deep but that does not in any
measure help them. Gambling was
driven from the Arkansas side some
months ago and it is not settled that
hereafter that side of the town will be
very "undry" on Sunday. Just what
effect this action may have on like
vices over the line in Texas is not
known, but it is likely it will arouse 9
similar sentiment that will result in
similar action upon the part of the
city authorities on that side of the di
vide. Sporting people generally are
greatly stirred up over the new order
of things.

Not Even one commons. cIyilIty.

Not Even the Commonest Civility.
Women who think it so strange that
New York men occupy seats in crowded
cars, elevated and otherwise, while femi.
nine passengers clutch for straps, should
draw the moral from an incident that
happened in Fifth avenue stage few
days ago. One of those clumsy vehicles
was numbering up the avenue with two
passengers, one a middle aged man sit
ting by the door. At Nineteenth street
the stage stopped, and an old lady, after
bidding an affectionate farewell to a
friend at the step, climbed in and sat
down opposite the middle aged passen
ger. The latter was gazing idly into
the street. when he felt touch, and
suddenly found himself in possession OF
nickel. Evidently it came from the
newly entered passenger, though she
favored him with neither word MOI
glance. 1t was equally plain that it
was her fare, and that she expected the
middle aged man to deposit it in the
box.
After moments hesitation he arose,
CROPPED his way to the forward end of
the stage, dropped the nickle into its
proper resting place, and returned,
glancing involuntarily at the old lady
for some word or look of thanks. None
came. She adjusted her fur wrap and
seemed oblivious of his presence. The
bus rumbled on up Fifth avenue fol
some minutes without incident, when
the old lady suddenly leaned over ana
said, "Stop the stage at Thirty-fourth
street." The middle aged man fiushe,l

said decisively: Madam, you compelled

ago, and omitted the commonest civil.

settled on my lungs and had hardly
recovered from it and caught anoth-

which thought / never would get rid

Remedy some fourteen years ago with

Special to The Statesman.
DENIsoN, Tex. April 14.-There
were three incendiary fires here last
night between midnight and 1870.
The first partially burned two box
cars loaded with baled hay in the
Katy yards. While the firemen
were there the Culpepper brick
grocery house, at the corner of Main
and Austin avenue was fired. The
incendiary piled up oily waste at the
foot of the stairway, the only exit
for twenty-five or thirty people who
room on the second floor. This waste
was set on fire and the stairway was
soon ablaze. Fortunately the firemen
were near and stream OF water
quickly extinguished the blaze. A
hole was burned through the floor
and in few minutes more the fire
would have swept up the stairway
AS it was the sleeping people above
became alarmed and rushed cut INTO
the street half dressed. Thirty min
utes later fire was discovered in the
hallway leading to the Young Mems
Christian association rooms, in the
new Munson-Nagle building on
Woodland street. Here coal oil had
been splashed on the stairs. This
building was damaged $4,000 and was
insured for $4,000. The rooms of the
Young Mems Christian association
were badly wrecked. The loss uf the
association will be about $500, fully
insured. Lantz & Mitchell, furniture.
loss considerable, but are covered by
insurance of $1,000. The Denison
Rifles and Stanley Rangers occupied
the third floor for an armory. The
Rifles lost large and very handsome
flag presented by the ladies
of Denison and several uniforms all
valued at 5000. No insurance. The
Rangers loss is very slight. Harry
NAPLES and Harry Tucker had rooms
on the second floor, and were not
awakened until the firemen began
work. They were cut off from escape
by the stairway and were rescued by
Chief Fitzgerald, who ran up long
ladder to window from the alley.
This makes four undoubted incendiary
fires here within week, and citizens
are becoming alarmed. Munson d
Bro. offer $500 reward for the arrest
of the incendiary. q

Learning to Pop.

1t is queer how small an occurrence
serves to attract crowd. The other
evening popcorn kiosk at the corner OF
d street and the avenue was surrounded
by gaping crowd, ranging in character
from gamins to gentlemen, all breath
lessly watching the proprietor as he
shook pepper over the gas famer. A
couple of young ladies happened to be
passing. and one of them inquired:
"What are those men staring att"
"They are learning how to pop" re-
piled her companion.

The aristocracy that is founded on
wealth alone would never prosper in
in this country, where the best society
is apt to include people of various
fortunes. That other aristocracy, of
birth, and breeding and intellect, may
have occasion to wear threadbare
coat, or to appear in a thrice turned
gown, but it has one advantage,-no
change of clothing from rich to poor or
from poor to rich can disguise it or
make it seem other than it is.
One of Mrs. Burnett's char
acters says of another: eff she'd "a
been born lady she'd IA been a fine
one; but as she was born factory
girl she was fine one still" No
sweeter tribute could be paid to the
woman who, having the capacity to
fill any sphere, has yet found humble
work thrust upon her, and has done it
faithfully and well. 1t takes q fine
nature to go about these prosaic tasks
unfalteringly, doing them with just as
much interest and grace as though
they were the very ones she would
have chosen if life had given her the
choice. There is one I know who Is
merely salesgirl, and whose days
are very busy and often very trying
ones. All day long she is ready and
alert, with smiling face to greet
every conner, and soft voice to an
swer every question. The great
shopping public is not always con-
siderate. Many woman who dresses
in silks and comes in her carriage
doesn't think it necessary to be polite
to salesgirl. She orders her about,
when it would be just as easy to
request. She makes her pull down
she doesn't care to look at after they
are down. She is rude and uncourte-
GUS in every possibly way, and she
sweeps out at last without even an
expression of thanks toward the tired
girl behind the counter. And all the
time, this salesgirl, who knows in her
own heart that she is the better lady
of the two, has attended to her duties
without an impatient look or petu-
liant gesture. You would have been
almost glad to hear her say, Madam,
your manner is coarse and unpleasant
and the cash-boy will show you the
door" But she does not say 1t, and
the coarse, underbred woman in front
of the counter and the refined and
gentle woman behind the counter
separate, never to meet except with
the counter between them. AS for
this democratic Home Corner, how
ever, it is thoroughly glad that there
is, in this country, another kind Of
aristocracy, many of whom belong to
the Four Hundred, and many others
of whom do not, and never will; but
not one of whom, be he or she rich or
poor, would be guilty Of anything
mean, or vulgar, or i'll bred.
Wv
1t has always seemed to me that
every town of any considerable size
should have a Woman's Exchange.
No plan has ever been devised which
is so successful in bringing women
together in harmonious work, in pro-
noting women's industries, and in
helping poor and deserving women to
find market for the product of their
labor. 1t provides means by which
any woman who can cook can find a
purchaser for her cakes and crullers;
