AND STILL THEY COME.
Another Suit for Divorce-The Hus-

Another Suit for Divorce-The Hus-
band is the Plaintiff This Time.
Divorce suits are coming regular
this week. Thus far three have
been entered on the docket of the
thirty-seventh district court,
which Judge Noonan will
handle at the next term of
court. On Monday Piedra Ortez
filed suit for divorce against her
husband. On Tuesday a suit was
filed by Mrs. NJ. r. Mcmillan
against her husband and the first
suit filed this morning was by
Fred w. Frosch against his wife,
Jennie Frosch,
He alleges that his wife has dis
turbed his peace and conducted
herself in such manner as to
compel him to leave her, about
five months ago. He went back to
her lately and tried to live peace
ably with her, but all in vain. She
is a frequent visitor TO saloons
with other men, and her character
is not becoming of decency. He
claims his wife has accused
him of living in adultery
with a married woman, which he
claims, are false accusations. He
states he has only boarded and
roomed at the house of the married
lady in question, to keep away
from his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frosch were mar
ried on July 10, 1888, and have two
girls, aged one and four years, re-
spectively, the issue of their mar
riage. He says he is a hard work
ing man, and asks for the custody
of the children.

AUSTIN LETTER.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 90, 1898.
To the San Antonio Light:
The alleged mass meeting held
in the city Tuesday night, to take
some action on the financial ques-
ton, and which subsequently
proved to be nothing in the world
but a disgraceful rowing crowd,
developed one thing, however, that
the good people are DESTROYS of
knowing. 1t developed that Col.
J. j. Foulk, who is recognized as a
big HOgg man, made ten thousand
dollar cater to the POpulists.
1t developed further that the
whole matter was cut and dried in
HOgg ranks before hand, for he and
a few others We're the only HOgg-
ties present, and they punched and
stood pat until their man got the
floor. His talk went well with the
Populist S upon this occasion, be-
cause it was along the line of their
arguments and sympathies, but
there was knowing smile hover
ing round the mouths of these
aforesaid patriots" from the har-
vest field, that spoke only too
plainly that Colonel FOulk's
little game was well known ;
and further more it was very evil
dent that the little game wouldn't
work. The POpulists evidently
appreciated the efforts of the
gentleman in their behalf but they
could not promise to take him in
to the fold because they had
enough. The presence Of Col
Faulk at this mass meeting, sub
stantialy further the remarks that
have been heard Of late, to the
effect that the HOgg people were
going to make a long, strong
pull to get into the same boat with
the Populists. The night of HOgg's
jubilee here last winter, after his
election, he offered to receive the
Clark Democrats back into the
fold, if they would be ballast fol
his ships. The question now arises
as to whether HOgg intends to try
and be ballast for the POpulist, OF
does he desire the Populist to b'
his ballast? We see what we see
and shall hear a great deal more
ere long, If the signs of the timc'
fail not. SHOOT.

Opera House Announcements

Thursday evening, March 10Th, Nellie
McHenry in "a night at the Circus"
Dan Rice, the oldest circus clown alive,
and probably the only one who occupies
such space in the heart of the small boy,
has not yet lost all desire to wear the
pyramidal hat and variegated pants. The
jolly old soul recently attended a per-
formance of Nellie McHenry's, ga Night
at the Circus in New York, and declar-
ed he could no longer resist the tempta-
ton to revive the good old one-ring cir
Gus of other days where people could see
the show with one pair of eyes without
breaking their necks. Uncle Dan said
he'd have to take off his hat to Nellie
McHenry. "That's something like it."
said he, "that's the best show I've seen
since Dan Rice quit the business"
Special attention is called to the date
of Pauline Hall at the Opera House, Sat
urday, March 18th, in the Opera of
Erminie. This is one Of the very best
opera companies on the road; they carry
55 people and car load of scenery, and
this is the only date they have in the
State; it was by special effort that the
management obtained this company.
The prices have been slightly advanced
to meet the demands of this large COM
pany.

1 noticed the letters on your front win
dows, and, taking some interest in Y.
NJ. c. A. work, stepped inside to see
what quarters the association had in
Bennington. l had intended remaining
only minute, but the cheerful open fire,
the easy chairs and the general air of
warmth and comfort, proved more of a
temptation than had anticipated so /
drew a chair to the FIRE and picked up
one of the magazines lying Oh the read
ing table. didn't read much, however,
for very clever performer was playing
selections from apopular opera, on the
piano, and found it more entertaining
to listen to the music than to read. At
ter this young man had finished, lad
about ten years of age played some
familiar hymns.
Later went up into the gymnasium
which is very well fitted up with ap.
pAratus, and through the bath rooms
down stairs, and think your equipment
is better than is usually found in associa-
tion halls in towns the size of Benning-
ton. You have better lockers than are
found in the 23rd street branch in New
York city, and in place of being crowded
into room not half large enough to
accommodate their members, and of be-
ing compelled to wait for a chance TO
use the weights, your young men have
good apparatus, plenty of room, and an
abundance of fresh air, and in that re-
speet are better off than the youth that,
every evening swarm into the basement
of the 23rd street branch in New York
city.
There was nothing rough or boisterous
in the conduct of the boys in the rooms

in many places.

The present roll call of the Senate
shows "A Democrats, 3S Republicans,
one Populist, one Independent, one
Farmers Alliance, and three vacancies.
The vacancies are one each in Montana,
Washington, and Wyoming. Two of
these have been temporarily filled by
appointments. Beckwith, Democrat
from Wyoming, and Lee Mantle, Repub.
licans from Montana, but should all
these vacancies be eventually filled by
the election of Republicans, which is
barely possible, the Senate, even with
the combined forces of the Populists
will still be tie, with Vice President
Stevenson holding the controlling vote.
The composition of the Honse as shown
by the unofficial returns, is, Democrats
2i7, Republicans, l2S, Third party eight
and vacancies two. The Democrats thus
have a majority of so over all.
