Mr.. j. p. Niclts was recently accused Of
improper familiarity with lady customer
at his store. The matter created not only
considerable talk about town, but was
brought before the courts here.
Mr.. Nicks denied from the beginning
that he had acted In an Objectionable man
ner, and also stated that he had taken the
lady IN question for someone else. He Of
fered TO apologize for the error, but was re-
pulsed by the lady and her husband. For
several days past the matter should have
come up for trial, and the good iricnds(N Of
Mr.. Nicks, both political and non'politicnl
were clated nv the idea of Il scandal, but
they were doomed to disappointment
After calm deliboration the lady came TO the
conclusion that not only Mir. Nicks, but
that she was "mistaken,' She declared to
the county attorney that In The excitement
of the moment she had looked at the matter
In blacker light than necessary, and she
now believes that Mr. Nicks really meant
nothing wrong. The charg was withdrawn

widow who is presumed to be cold and

II was Miss Craieen's first appearance
before Houston audience and she was re-
gardcd critically. The result has already
been Indicated In the lighter scenes, be-
fore her heart had been touched by love
and sorrow she was gay, charming ana VI

but within the bounds OF nature. There
is deep feeling and pathos without any
striving after effect aud she steals upon the
sympathes and affections Of her audience

GEN KECTON'S FUNERAL.
The Dead Officer Left Instructions that
He be Buried with the Simplicity of
Private Soldier, without the Attendance
of Carriages or Military Ceremonial.

The Dead Officer Left Instructions that
He be Buried with the Simplicity of a
Private Soldier, without the Attendance
of Carriages or Military Ceremonial.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The funeral
of Gen. Kelton, ex-adjutant-general U.
S. A. and governor of the Soldiers
home, will be marked by perfect sim
plicity in all its features. He directed
especially that there should be no mill
tary ceremonies, and that the use of
carriages should be avoided. He de-
sired to be buried like an enlisted man,
and specified that his coffin should be
the pine box generally used in the case
of privates. Religious services were
held at the governors residence in the
Soldiers home grounds at Is o'clock
last evening instead Of to-day, as origi-
nally intended There will be no hon
orary pall-bearers.
One of Gen. Kelton's objections to
having an expensive funeral was that
he died poor man. and did not want
to embarrass his family with debts in
Cured by himself in any way.
The impression in army circles is
that Gen. D. S. Stanley, retired, will
Soldiers home The selection rested
between these two when Gen. Kelton
was appointed year ago. Gen. Stan
lev is known to have the favor of the
president, as he was appointed briga-
dier-general by him during his last
term
