THE LAST APPEAL
For Help From the Ladies of the
Texas Building.

Ie8dS Dulu1nS'
To the Daily LIHGT.
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 7th, 1898.
Those patriots in Texas who have
been visiting the Chicago fair and
on returning have been engaged in
actively cheering up all Texas i'll
terests at the fair now have an
opportunity to remedy that evil
that they have been complaining
off so loudly to everybody. There
will be one more. effort made by
Mrs. Tobin and one or two active
lady friends of Texas to rally and
obtain money enough to properly
dedicate the Texas building about
the middle of this month. Advice
received in this city today says
that if the Texas people will exert
themselves even so little the mat
ter will be carried to a sue
cessful finish. Texas has been
poorly represented we are all COM
PEELED to admit. but that has been
due to a lack of funds. Those in
terested in the move here, now
suggest that those who have done
such vigorous kicking and those
who have not done it should both
go deep down in their pockets and
come to the front with money and
let private opinions alone for a
while. They say Mrs. Tobin has
worked against great odds all
through this matter and they
trust that this last appeal to sus-
tain Texas reputation will not go
by unheeded.
1t is suggested that clubs be
formed in different localities and
by a very small assessment for
each member quite a neat little
sum can be realized. 1t is only
necessary to have two or three
hundred dollars to properly exc
cute the dedication ceremonies and
it is hoped that amount will be
forthcoming Immediately. Re.
marked one lady enthusiast today
81 trust that all the board of lady
managers will fall in line and dc
their uttermost to help Mrs. Tobin
out now and that her diligence will
be rewarded" Contributions can
be sent to either Mrs. B. b. TObiI
at the Texas building in Chicago
or to Mrs. Geo. Stieff, Houston.
