GEORGETOWN, Tex, Aug. A.
Cleveland was burned in efigy at
massmeeting in Jonah few nights
ago. Resolutions were passed con-
demning his message in most vigorous
language. They resolved to petition
our senators and representatives in
congress to stand by the people as
against the president. They said the
president had gone back on the pro-
misses made by the Democratic party
during the last campaign, and has
trampled under foot the platform on
which he was elected. They emphati-
cally condemn the presidents sugges-
ton as to an international
monetary conference. They resoluted
in unmist4kable terms, and then
stated: "The above are our demands,
and by the eternal we will have them"
The resolutions were thoroughly dis
cussed and then the vote taken. They
were adopted unanimously. The meet.
ing was held in schoolhouse and was
crowded wi h voters. 1t was after the
adjournment of the meeting that the
image of Grover was saturated in tur-
pentine and burned to ashes. Then
the sovereigns adjourned sine die.

head with a rock or some other mis-
sile, fracturing his skull and inflictirg
other injuries that will probably re-
suit fatally. Berry made no effort to
escape.

The following ruling was sent out
from his office yesterday:
AUSTIN, August 15
TAX rticle 1896 Revised
Statutes provides that Gall property,
real, personal and mixed, except such
as may be hereinafter expressed ex'
empted, is subject to taxation, and
the same shall be rendered and listed
as herein prescribed From this il
is evident cotton in the hands of Other
than such as are expressly exempted
is liable to taxation and should be as
sessed
The only reference to au exemption
of cotton, is found in the provisions oi
section 10, article s, of the constitution
as adopted October IA, 1879, which is
as follows: "Farm products in the
hands of the producer and family sup
plies for home and farm use, are OK
empt from all taxation until otherwise
directed by two-third vote of all the
members elect to both houses of the
legislature"
The law provides that all property
except such as is expressly exempted
is subject to taxation, and shall be
rendered and listed, and cotton being
farm product is 30 expressly ex-
empted when in the hands OF the lro-
ducer, is by law made taxable, and
the assessor is expressly commanded
to list same.
The fact that cotton has been pur.
chased with borrowed money in no
wise effects its liability to tax
alton, for if it were thereby
excepted all other property purchased
in like manner would also be exempt
and the state and counties thereby de-
prived of a large portion of their
revenues. This rule, if ifadopted, would
exempt not only much personal prop
erty but real property as well, in fact
there is not the least reason in such
claim.
The law further provides that the
assessor of taxes shall follow the in
structions of the comptroller, and
can but instruct as the law directs,
therefore you should assess all cotton
in the hands of other than the pro-
ducer, for the state cannot afford to
lose the tax due upon such property.
Respectfully.
JOHN D. MCCALL, Comptroller.

A Little Comedy of EIrOrs'

She must have found very little en- couragcmcnt there, for she instantly re- lapsed into frozen calm which in con- trast with her usual sparkling vivacity seemed like strange, apathetic indif' ference; and clasping her hands list, lrssly in her lap she awaited his re- spOn~c
 With q busincss-likc air North drew from his pocket notebook and pencil, which he placed on the small OnSK table beside which he had seated hing self Then he turned to Mrs. Maynard, whose chair was but short distance from his own and so placed that she was not directly facing him, though a very slight urn of the languid, grace full head would bring him in full range of her glance. Just now it was resting upon some point above and beyond North's head, with an intcntncss that suggested an undrrcurrcnt of thought even more absorbing than the surface current that his words now brought be- fore her.

QUEEN WCT0RlA's T4EATsR.

The Waterloo Chamber nt EIatsor Cas- tie, Where Performances Are Given.
 The Waterloo chamber, where Car men" was recently performed at Wipd- sor by Sir Augustus Harris company, is described by the Pail Mall Budget as a large, square room in the center of the state apartments. It is approached on one side by the grand staircase and the grand vestibule from the quadrangle, and on the other by the grand recep- tion room from the private apartments. There are besides three other doors, connecting it with St. Georges hall on one side and the throneroom on the other. The stage is erected across the room, and the thrOneroom will be used as a greenroon, while the Rubens-rOOm,
 the kings closet and the northern end of the grand reception-room can also be
 pressed into service as dressing-rooms.
 Opposite the stage is a raised dais, on which is placed chair for the queen, and on a lower level chairs for the roy al family. Around on the floor are
 chairs for the privileged guests.
 The Waterloo chamber was built by
 Sir Jeffery Wyatville, the architect of
 modern Windsor castle, over a disused courtyard which used to exist in the cen ter of the state apartments, and which | served no purpose whatever. The cham Der was originally intended as gallery to receive the numerous portraits exc cuted by Sir Thomas Lawrence for George W. in remembrance of the vari- ouS kings, generals and statesmen who were associated in the league of nations | against Napoleon l., and with the sub | sequent resettlement of Europe at the ! congress of Vienna.
 The result of its central position was : that it was lighted altogether by sky 1 lights, and that the entire surface of | the walls was available for the purpose | for which it was designed. Among the | works of art which line the walls are \ eighteen large canvases by Sir Thomas l Lawrence, the most striking of which is | the full length of Count Ploteff Hetman \ of all the COSsaclss, which was designed | when the Cossaclz chief visited England
 in the train of the Tar Alexander after 1 Waterloo. The chamber has on several l occasions been used for great state ban- quets.
 l The throneroOm is an Oblong apart
 ment which looks out on the north ter | race. The walls are hung with rich
 brocade of the deep garter blue, and 1 woven with the monogram of ''SS' and the garter and motto of tho order. The | chairs and furniture are upholstered to
 match, and their total effect is very
 striking. The panels arc adorned with
 very fine paintings, and there are sev-
 eral very valuable cabinets filled with
 china. At the western end stands a
 beautifully-carved ivory throne, consist
 ing of a seat fashioned out of elephants
 tusl1s, which was presented to the queen
 by the jah of Travancore. This apart
 ment used to be the meeting place ot
 ;he Knights of the Garter when a chap ter of the order was held.

Ontlnws hu Birth.

Students of heredity may find some interesting material in the history of the Daltons. According to the Phila- delphia Press, the progenitor of this lately renowned family of outlaws lived in that city ninety years ago, and gave the authorities much trouble by his deeds as a highwayman. One day he stopped carriage containing two young ladies and their elderly aunt. One of the younger ladies was about to be married, and strongly objected to handing over her wedding presents to the bandit, who, with a chivalry re- miniscent of Robin Hoods best days, allowed the party to pass unmolested Some weeks later Dalton was arrested, and it would have gone hard with him had not the young woman, in the mean time married to an official of great in- 1 fluence, secured him a pardon on con- dition that he quit the state. This | Dalton did, and, settling in the west, became the progenitor of a long line of | highway robbers.

so long as you should need it, guar which was made so urgently that Mrs. Dunlirk was loathe to disregard 1t. Has this never seemed strange to you, Mrs. Maynard?"
 It was evident the4 the strangeness of the fact had now occurred to North for the first time; 1t was equally evi- dent that Mrs. Maynard had long since ceased to speculate upon the matter, as something which she was unable to ex- plain.
 '"There has always been a little mys- tery Shrouding that circumstance, Mir. North," she said, with a faint smile. Dear mamma herself recognized the fact that, in her choice of guardian for her daughter, she had made de- mand upon Mrs. Dunkirk's kindness which her slight aoquaintancewith that lady would scarcely justify; but in her letter to Mrs. Dunl1irl, written just be- fore her death, she said that would explain that action satisfactorily. When Mrs. Dunkirk referred the matter to me, was utterly unable to account for the fact that I had been consigned to the care of perfect stranger, whose name, even, l had scarcely heard before"
 ''There Is only one possible inference to be drawn from these circumstances, then" observed North. with thought full air, as he looked inQuiringly at Mrs. Maynard. "Mrs. KinSsbury was pre- vented in some way from eommunicat ing to you the explanation that she in- tended to give before her deHtt."

 They will find the way. When I've sung my defective songs, That touch the souls outermost edge, When I've gazed at the worlds wall of wronrV And with labor have entered my wedge,

 And the work be past But some day those yet unborn Shall take my unfinished thought, This work that has eaten and worn: Then-toil did not go for nought.

 If only knewl They will write, they will paint land welO, Thought, color, that we have dreamed; They will plan, sing, struggle, and tell Of the past, how imperfect it seemed
 And we who are dead
