provided Waco makes the occasion,
This is simply bosh. Waco has
the occasion" The Katy is now
playing goody, goody. The Katy
got hundreds and thousands of
dollars from Wac people nearly
enough to pay for every mile Of
road in this county Ia the past six
months-now asks for an occasion"
to make more money. Look at our
disgrsceful, shameful stiugy pas

through Waco Of the great katy's

point to the depot and say, "There
is the great Katy's opinion of this
Waco town" Then they have the
cheek to SIX for an occasion" to
do something for Waco. Let the

their goods by some other route

big bug Katy. Let us stop boot

recognition.
now ABOUT WACO LANDLoRDs?
The tenants of Waco keep up
the town. How many Of these
owners of these brick blocks and
stores ever have done anything for
Waco except to build more stores
and collect more rents? How many
landlords in Waco ever patronize
the merchants and tenants who pay
them their big rents?
We ask every tenant in Waco
three questions;
j. Who owns your house?
> Does he ever buy from you or
patronize you in any way?
B. Does your landlord ever give
or do anything to build up Waco or
make it possible for you to pay your
rents.
We occupy a building belonging
to two of the richest men in Waco.
One Of them has been generally lib
eral to help in every good work; if
the other and the richer one has
has ever given a dollar | have never
heard Of It. Ore thing is certain,

aud neither Of my landlords have
ever BoUGHT ONE DOLLAR or even
priced one dollars worth of goods
from us, and we cannot call to minC

If we have asked a little indulgence
in rents, we got it, by paying in

The BRAZILIAN REVOLT.

ROME, Sept. 13.-The italian govern.
ment has received dispatch from Rio de
Janeiro, dated yesterday, saying that Ad-
miral de MailOs had informad the repre-
sentatives of foreign powers at Rio that
the vessels OF the insurgent squadron
would open fire upon the city's defenses
| after o'clock this wednesday, morning.
The forts in the bay will first be attacked
separately, it is believed, and upon the re-
suit of this bombardment the future move
ments of the rebels depend In conse-
quence of this announcement, arrange
men's have been made TO send the foreign
warships and merchants vessels at Rio to
positions outside the line OF fire. A British
guuboat was to leave the bay of Rio de
Janeiro at m early hour this morning. in
order to warn all incoming vessels to stay
off the coast until the fate of Rio de Janeiro
is learned.
Much anxiety is felt in Rio as to the fate
of the city in the event of the success of
the rebels; for, in spite of tie dispatches
sent out by the Brazilian government,
doubts are expressed as to the loyalty of
several forts in the bay. It is asserted
that the garrisons of the bar forts will,
after the exchange of a few shots. haul
down their flag and join with the rebels.

COALING STATIONS.
The English Opinion Of Their I'm
pOrtance in the Navy.
While Not Essential to the Maintenance
OF Naval Power These Stations Are
Fortified Against the Ships
of Foreign Nations.

Sailing ships could, and did, remain
at sea for many months at time, Lord
Brassy writes in the Nineteenth Cen
tury. Their power to remain at sea
was only limited by the amount OF wa
ter that they carried. The period dur
ing which modern ship of war can re-
main at sea is determined mainly by
her coal endurance. and to a great ex-
tent by the necessity of effecting re-
pairs in port to delicate machinery.
The coal endurance of modern ships of
war is even more limited than official
figures, SO far rs any are available,
lead US to suppose; and when Lord
Salisbury placed the limit of the strik-
ing distance of ship of war
at two thousand miles-viz., the dis
tance at which she could deliver a
blow and return to her port-he GER
tainly did not underestimate her pow
ers. The country which possesses the
most numerous scoaling stations and the
best situated as regards trade routes
will have great advantage in a future
war. In this respect the British en-
pire is without rival.
While navy depends for its power
of operating in distant waters very
largely on coaling stations, the exist
ence of the latter depends absolutely
on the power of the fleet to protect
them. No local defense, whether in
fortifications or men, will preserve
them to power which has lost the
command of the sea. The history of
Malta during the great war affords an
admirable instance Of the interdepen-
dence of fleets and coaling stations,
though it must be admitted that the
lesson to be drawn is to some extent
weakened by the need of modern ships
for COAL {4z itE-4 Js
Many people consider that the pos
session of Malta is Indispensable to
the maintenance of British influence
in the Mediterranean. How far this is
true may be judged from the fact that
Nelson won the battle of the Nile
when Malta was in the hands Of the
French, and that Malta fell into our
hands, though not for some time, as
the direct consequence Of that battle,
which gave us the command of the
Mediterranean. M capt. Mahan Summar-
ICES the conclusions, which should be
drawn in these words: "Its fate when
in the hands Of France -. gives
warning that the fleet depends less up
on Malta than Malta on the fleet" If
this be true of Malta, it is still more
true of other coaling stations which do
not lie in such proximity to the ports
of foreign countries.
We have acted wisely in giving to
our coaling stations sufficient defense
against one or two hostile cruisers.
More than this is not required. AS
long as our navy is maintained at its
proper strength and is efficiently Off !
cered and manned, it should not be |
possible for serious expedition to /
leave the enemy's port without Brit |
ish fleet being Immediately in pursuit.

An Austrian Said to Have Invented the
Modern Screw Propeller.
The Austrians have just been cele-
brating the centenary of Joseph Res
sci, one of the many claimants to the
honor of being the inventor of the
screw propeller, by festival in front
of his statue in front of the Polytech-
mic Institute of Vienna. 1t is said that
Ressel, who died in poverty and
neglect in 1857. described his plan for
using the Archimedean screw for the
propulsion of ships as long ago as
1912, but it was not until 1899. when all
his earlier patents had lapsed for want
OF money to renew them, that he Sue
ceeded in interesting a Trieste mer-
chant, Fontana, in his device, and Sc
curing trial for it on board a small
steamer called the Cidetta. Unluckily
for him,one of his steam pipes burst,
and the authorities thereupon forbade
all further experiments Poor Resscl
was derided on ell sides, and was
asked whether he wished to bore hole
in the sea. The New York Evening
Post says there is no doubt that he was
genius in his way, or that he, in COM
mon with many others, was working
on the principle of the screw for some
years before Ericsson obtained bis
patent in 1896. John Bourne. in his
treatise on the screw propeller. de-
scribes one hundred and tyyenty-six
different inventions, but does not eren
mention tie name of Ressel, although
monument TO the memory of the lat
ter had been erected already in
Vienna. Eriesson's plea for patent
was contested stoutly in the English
law courts. but he was able TO prove
that the only propeller in use before
1896 was the Archi-aedean screw, and
one with arms like the vaDe OF a
