A SWORD IN A STICK.
Captured by the Officers-A Night
Adventure.

I'll. D. HarrigaD, young man of
some style of make up, was "doing
the city," last night, in company with
others OF his own sort. He visited
most of the places of unqustioned dis
appreciation and announced that he
was prepared to do battle in any or
no cause. He carried in his hand a
cane which proved to be combina-
ton. Its handle was of horn carved
into dogs head and by touching a
tiny button keen steel rapier, the
point of which was as sharp as fine
needle. and the blade of which was
long as the stick could be drawn. This
he drew now and then and explained
that although wound inflicted by it
would not be deep as we'll or wide
as an open door, would answer to
make worms meat of anyone who
opposed him. In his progress he met
Deputy Sheriffs Lee Jenkins and
Press Standiier, ana they took him in,
cutting off his triumph before mid
night and leaving the balance Of the
time before daylight for reflection.
He gave bail to answer the charge OF
unlawfully carrying concealed and
deadly weapons.

BIG WORK.
And some Of the finest ever done In
Texas.

And some OF the finest ever done In
Texas.
The erection Of SO many grand new
buildings the past year, notably the
Provident building, the Padgitt, the
Coke buildings, together with
the decoration of one large hotel,
and many stores newly fitted, has
tested the skill and resources of Waco
GLACIERS and decorators and that ali
this work has been done by home
people is q credit to Waco. The glaz.
ing and painting of the immense
Provident building, with its one hun.
dred rooms and $4,000 worth Of glass,
the glazing and decorating of the
great Padgitt building and the two
great Coke buildings with their I'm.
mense glass fronts, the magnificent
decorating of the Waco State Bank,
the Citizens National Bank, Of the
New McClelland hotel, of the beauti
full stores of j. Hansell Wood and
Hit & Co., have all been done by G..
f. Smith, the great leading paint
house of Waco, and one OF the largest
in the state. 1t is worth ones while
to 90 through the buildings men,
toned and see the magnificent work
done by 9. f. Smith. To do so is to
acknowledge that no drafts can be
made on the resources of Waco,
which one Waco firm canno. meet at
sight. The business of Mr. Smith is
stupendous, 1t took twenty i've
wordmen steadily for months on the
Provident building alone. The glaz-
ing, decorating and painting on all
these new bulldogs has kept EN-.
ployed small army of workmen.
G F. Smith is not only an artist him
self, but employs only the most skilled
artists. His foreman Of painting, Mr.
L. j. Bohrer, and of decorating, Mr.. j
Bowman with j. M. Merrick, grainer
have no superiors in the United
States. Business men should, when
occasion serves, take a look at the
work spoken of in the buildings men
6ioned. 1t challenges comparison with
any similar work in the United
States. The establishment of G. f
Smith is on big scale. He carries an
immense stock Of glass, paints, oils,
varnishes, wall paper and all the goods
pertaining to painting and decorating,
and has resources for fine work which
no demand can bankrupt, and Waco
may well be proud of such house.

A Rare Chance

If you want piano or organ of fine
makes now is the opportunity to buy
one on your own terms and at prices
unheard of. Call on J. b. Payne
and see the largest and finest stock of
pianos ever brought to central Texas
and ask terms and prices. This is the
opportunity of a life time and no pru-
dent person should neglect it. Take
notice in time. There will never be
such a chance to buy organs or pianos
as cheap or on such terms.

THE Territory of Oklahoma seems
to be somewhat disturbed over the
recently expressed opinion of certain
lawyers that Indians may vote at the
next election. The law, say these
Interpreters. provides that Indians on
land in severalty have equal rights OF
suffrage with the whites, and as there
are more than 5000 red men who
could vote under this ruling, it is nat
ural that some commotion should re-
suit from the suggestion. Oklahoma
is pretty close politically, and 5000
new citizens voting as unit might
put to naught good many prophe-
cies, and overturn good many plans.

NEXT year the discovery of Amer
lea will be celebrated in every way
that patriotism can invent. Not
only are we to be furnished with a
special issue of half-dollars by the
Treasury, commemorating the event,
but the Postof1ice Department also
has decided to sell a complete set OF
jubilee postage stamps during the
year of 1898. The stamps will bear
appropriate engravings, and the only
portrait to appear on them will be
that of Christopher Columbus.

The huge throngs Of Knights Tenn
plars that flocked to Denver have
given that interior metropolis an alb
normal enlargement of self-esteem.
Its newspapers have even compared
the town with Chicago at the time OF
the Democratic convention. Denver
need not get too much pulled up. 1t
may take an enormous crowd of
strangers within it's gates and feed
and house them comfortably, but
never, no, never, can it show them
such marvel Of architectural inven-
ton as the late wigwam.

Names.

The Duchess of Cleveland seems to
have achieved great success with her
Battle Abbey Roll" on which she
has been engaged for some years.
Many matters of interest are con-
tanned in the three volumes. A curl
Gus instance is quoted from Camden
by the Duchess, to show the freedom
with which, at any early period,
family names were treated, in the
story of William Belward, the Ches-
hire knight. His sons and grandsons
altered their names in respect of
habitation. to Egerton, Cotgrove, and
Overton; in respect of color, to Cough,
which means red; in respect Of learn
ing, to Kenclarke, and as to quality,
to Goodman; in respect of stature to
Little, and one to the name of Rich
ardson, all of them being really Bel
wards. 1t is a much easier and
cheaper process for man or family
to change their names at the present
day, than many suppose; trifling
registration fee is all that is required.

THERE is no short cut to excellence.
In every department of human
achievement superiority is based
upon toll, and success is reached only
by effort. Drudgery in some form
underlies every performance that is
of any worth, and he who plumes
himself upon his ingenuity in escap-
ing from it is like the man who con-
graduates himself on his shrewdness
in building a house without the trou-
bic of laying the foundation.

A Remarka Race of People.

In Sumatra there is very singu-
lar race of human beings, called the
Kubus. They are the most timid and
bashful people in the world, being
too shy to mingle with the other
races of the island. They dwell in
the darkest recesses Of the mountain
forests, and have seldom been seen Dy
white men. One has never been
known to willingly face a stranger.
This being the case their trade with
the Maylayans is carried on in a very
strange way. The trader announces
his arrival by beating gong, and
then retires from the place of rendez-
vous. The shy Kubus then approach,
put their forest treasures on the
ground, beat the traders gong and
retreat. The trader then returns and
lays his commodities down in quanti-
ties sufficient to pay purchase price of
the goods on sale. He then disap-
pears for the second time, this to give
the Kubus a chance to return and
consider the bargain. After many
Withdrawals, approaches, gong-beat-
ing, etc., an understanding is arrived
at and each party carries away his
bargain. This remarkable race knows
nothing of a Supreme Being, heaven,
hell, or evil demons. They have no
system of marriage and never bury
their dead. They live on snakes,
ants, bugs, grubs. etc.

THE INDIGNATION aroused bv the

THE Indignation aroused by the
brutal punishment inflicted on ex-
Private Iams at Homestead seems to
have blinded many to the real state
of the case and prevented them from
taking just and common-sense view.
That the punishment itself was lille
gal is the general opinion, but it by
no means follows that the victim on
that account is to be made out hero
and a martyr. His offense was a
grave military one, disgrace to his
uniform and deserved severe treat
ment. While condemning the tor
ture inflicted ON him and conceding
his right to any redress the courts
will give him, sympathy for him
should not exceed reasonable bounds.
That his officers were cruel does not
palliate the equally true fact that he
himself wantonly violated volunta-
rily assumed obligations by conduct
at once unsoldierly and dishonorable.

THE story goes that Sir Charles

tricks of prestidigatation, and his
wife took the starch out of hostile

had it much his own way as long as

IT is a decided commentary on the
carelessness of the American people
that during the last fiscal year over
five million pieces of mail matter
were received at the dead letter Of
flee at Washington. But it is pleas
ant to note that there was decrease
in their number of nearly per cent.
over the record of the previous year.
Many complaints made against the
Postoffice Department grow out OF
the carelessness of the public.

She wasn't exactly old, but the dis.
eliminating observer could see that
she hadn't seen the inside of school
room for at least ten years. The
shopman threw down piece after
piece of fieecy white material before
her critical eyes, but none of them
seemed to claim her unreserved adj
miration. She was taking great
deal of his time and the silk counter
was crowded, SO he decided to play
his trump card. Holding up a length
of crepe de chine SO that it fell in a
perfect cataract of shimmering folds,
he remarked, refiectively, as if to
himself alone: "The best thing for
graduating purposes we have in store
this year." The effect was instan-
taneous and in another minute the
tactful salesman was measuring off a
full pattern for his well-pleased
patron.

RECENT arrests of bows for variou

RECENT arrests of boys for various
crimes has had a tendency to injure
the theory that youthful diabolism
is principally due to the deadly dime
novel, inasmuch as large number of
the offenders could not read at all.
To be raised in an atmosphere Of ig-
norance and depravity is quite as bad
for the minds of children as misdi-
rected education Of the primary
kind. After all a good deal of ignor-
rance is a more dangerous thing than
q little learning.
