The Honorable simkins Objects to the Pay
ment Of stenogrspher's Bar Bills.
The Honorable Simkins of Dallas
was before the federal court yesterday
with motion to retax the cost in the
commission cases. He informed Judge
Maxcy that it was very large tax
bill amounting to something over $5,-
600, and upon looking into it he founi
some absolutely improper charges.
He said that he did not think that
the agreement of the state to pay all
costs included the item for final rec.
ord pending the appeal and further
more he saw no reason for the addl-
ton of the hotel bills, bar bills and
the like incidental expense of the
stenographers wnile travelling around
taking the testimony. He desired
that the whole bill be referred to the
master in chancery. Attorney West
for the other side rose to object to the
referring of objections to items involv-
ing questions of law to the master OF
chancery ard the court indicated
readiness to decide upon such items.
Attorney Simkins, however, did his
little do and the exceedingly able
stenographer and the master will
have to consult on their little expense
! bills.

WAR BREWING.

The Blessed Worlds Fair People are Getting
Excited.
The following clipping goes to show
that the war which has been threat
enlng for some time is about to come
to crisis:
Texas is in the swim-at last. She
has nice, ripe, mellow Worlds fair
quarrel on her hands with the women
to do the debating. II there could be
an occurrence more interesting and
livelier than that it certainly does not
be ong to an off year in politics.
The ground of the dispute, it seems,
is the refusal of Mrs. Tobin, president
of the Women's association, to admit
an exhibit of the resources OF the state
to the Texas building. The complain.
ants assert that the purpose of the ex-
hibit association was to make an ex-
hibit and that funds were contributed
by the people of the state with this
understanding. Mrs. Tobin on
the contrary, thinks the interests of
the state will be best subserved by the
reservation of the building for music,
social gatherings, speeches, etc. The
DIRECTORS say this may be very nice
for the Texans who 60 to Chicago, but
that it will not bring farmers or capt.
tai into the state; that the contrib
utors to the building gave their money
for business reasons, to help advertise
the state and not to promote the en-
joyment of Texas visitors at the fair.

Such is the state of things disclosed
by peep behind the curtain. AS the
public put up the money it is entitled
to share in the view.-Fort Worth
Gazette.
In connection with the above it lie
we'll to state that this war has been
brewing for nearly five weeks.
Along about that time one of the
beard of directors living in
In this city wrote Lady in distant
city to try and get up some more
funds to help Mrs. Tobin along. The
lady replied in very terse and point
ed manner that she saw no reason
why she nor anybody else should
exert themselves to beg money for
Mrs. Tobin t. have little matinee
three times a week on, This part OF
the letter was rather severe, but the
lady went on further to state that the
scheme had been nothing in the
world buG an eggshell for months and
for one she was tired of being a shield
to the wind to keep it from blowing
the whole thing to the dogs. That
she had asked Mrs. Tobin to admit
some exhibits in the building, and
Mrs. Tobin had told her that she and
she alone was running that Worlds
Fair building and she wanted to have
nothing but receptions and music and
she intended having them; and. con-
cluded the lady, for one don't in
tend to defray her expenses for any
such purpose. This letter, which was
very caustic, as can readily be seen
no doubt bears some relationship tc
the row that the Fort Worth Gazette
refers to. Be that as it may, the at
fair is most unfortunate one anf
should be settled Immediately, be-
cause it will never do for the ladies tt
get to tussng among themselves. Il
would be preferable to pull the whole
building down and declare Texas anc
the Worlds Fair quits.

Beer Shipped in and Publicly
Placed on Ice.

CHARLsTowN, S. c., July 13.-The
Partner Brewing company has beer
barrel on it's shoulder and has dared
Governor Tillman to knock it off. A
keg has arrived from Charlott, N. G.,
consigned to the agent of the company
here. Shipment was made purely for

state to prohibit roads, under dispen-

ceived it from the Richmond and
Dannville road and delivered it to the
brewers agent here with the announc-
ment by the railroad authorities that
the package was subject to confsca-
ton and the receivers are subject to
fine and imprisonment. The brewers
agent received it and placed it on ice
in a conspicuous place in his estab-
lishment. There it remained through
out the day unmolested by the many
spies with which the government ha3
flooded the city. So far from attempt
ing to do business in an underhand

what is being done. The government
has made no movement yet, although
it is rumored that his constabulary
have upward of 80 cases prepared and
that the battle will begin in day or
two.

Non.Union Sailor Found Dead

EUREKA, Cal, July l9.-The body
of an unknown man, evidently a
sailor, has been found in the bay here.
The body was bound with rope tied in
sailors knoC. There was gag in
the mouth and two bullet holes in the
head, apparently showing the man had
been murdered. The theory of the
case is that the man was non union
sailor and that this murder was the
result of the trouble between union
and non-union men which has existed
here for some time.

CHICAGO, July 13.-The feature OF
the Literary congress today was the
paper read by Charles Dudley Warner
on Functions of Literary Criticism in
the United States" Warner said
Americans have their own peculiar
standards. They fix the value of a
dollar at G5 cents, and resent the COM
mercial assertion that the dollar is 100
ents. In literature standards are also
mixed. We have no Philistines, said
the speaker, because we have no ira
ditions, but we have sensationalism in
sermons and novels intended to shock
and everywhere there is a striving for
effect and to catch the popular ear.
This peculiar feature of American
literature Mr.. Warner called Barn

THE PREACHERS WIN.
THE WORLDS FAIR AFTER JULY l6

The Chicago Preachers Furnished the Last
Straw and the Directors suecumb-
The Vote was Largely in Favor
Of Sunday Clio sing.

CHICAGO. July 1.-THE Worlds
Fair. after July l6, will not be open to
the public on Sunday. The admissions
of next Sunday are already donated
for the relief of the families OF the
firemen who lost their lives in the re-
cent fire on the grounds, and but for
this fact the fair would probably have
been closed next Sunday. A vote OF
the local directory resembling the for
mer action is overwhelmingly in favor
of closing. 1t stood "a to 4. When
the meeting of directors was called
late this afternoon an address advocat-
ing Sunday closing, signed by all the
leading Chic ago clergyman, was read.
The close of the address was the signal
for series of speeches all in favor of
closing the fair. Vice President Peck,
who presided in the absence President
Higginbotham, then read the resolu
ton which was adopted.
NOTES OF THE FAIR.
Today was sultry, steamy and in
tensely hot, but there was good at
tendance at the fair. Three hundred
men are now at work clearing away
the ruins of the cold storage ware
house. No more bodies were found
today. Sanitary officers have had the
ruins thoroughly saturated with dis
infectants. 1t will prevent disease
from starting from the ruins, as well
as kill the odors.
The funeral of eight unidentified
victims of the fire took place this aft
ernoon. The funeral car was deeply
draped and drawn by eight coal black
horses and escorted by guard of
honor of the comrades OF the dead
army officers, Columbian guards
and police. The exposition fur.

DOUBLY APPRECIATED.
A Newspaper Man Praises Sleep as Land
Of Beauty and Joy.

Of Beauty and Joy.
The following tender bit of senti-
ment relative to that great boon of all
the universe is clipped from the
Washington News. Its beauty cannot
be 80 much appreciated by those who
linger long and continually in the
arms of sweet sleep, but the poor
kuave who wrote the annexed, like all
pushers of the quill, has doubtless not
had six hours of refreshing sleep at
one time in years. Going to his couch
in the early morning hours with brain
racked and temples throbbing from
excessive labor by the dim gaslight
he losses restlessly about on his bed,
too tired and nervous to sleep. When
he does gradually lose all knowledge
of his surroundings it is not unnatural
that he should be in the state de-
scribed by the News as follows:
Night brings me dreams of silver
streams that murmur through the
Wildwood, and sylvan dales and quiet
wales where once / roamed in child
hood; | seem to see the mighty tree
whose boughs 1 yet remember; the
pond where 1 swan in July and
skated in December. Oh, vision blest,
of peace and rest, and sunny days and
gladness! When breaks the dawn
you all are gone and 1 am left in sad
ness. For morning brings the weary
things that must know forever; the
burning street, the toiling feet, the
long and fierce endeavor; the bills to
pay, the words to say that [ so oft
have spoken, the loads to pack until
my back is pretty nearly broken. If
men could snooze for months and lose
no time. in bitter waking, this life
would be thing of glee and hearts
would not be breaking.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
The Same Cry Of Shortage to be Heard From
This Department.

The board of education will today

the several counties and cities upon
the estimate that will be submitted

cations are that the aggregate amount
for distribution will be in the
neighborhood Of $500, 900, which is less
than was apportioned for the last

patton tax has also decreased and the
rate OF interest is less on state bonds

which having matured are renewed

drew and per cent and one to be
founded on August in per cent. In
accordance with the Jester act, the l
per cent will be more than last year,
uut the other items show marked
decrease. 1t is a matter OF note that
last year the board raised the esti.
mate furnished by the comptroller
somewhat and distributed at the rate
of $3.50 per capita against a 81 rate the
previous year. The scholastic popu-
Iation as given out by Superintend-
ent Carlysle yesterday is 626,S77 with
LaSalle and several other sparcely

The increase to Ue noted is about 4
l-2 per cent ant would require Sll5,0OC
more tnan last year to keep up the
different schools on the basis existing
at present and as the available fund
shows up considerably less, the board
will be compelled out Of die necessity
to reduce the per capita distribution
or take the chances OF heavy def
cheney to hand around to their sue
cessors when they come into office.

WHAT BUG IS 1T
That is Moving Around Under the Chip
Amen Encampment Matters?

Amen EncampmenI mat'oAs'
Complaint comes from the Houston
Light Guards that they have received
no official notice requesting their pre-
sence at the encampment. Other
companies in the state have made
similar complaint and they say that
considering the short time between
now and the en- ;ampment they ought
to know something about the matter.
That they have received plenty of
newspaper calls but precedence is for
an official call. In this connection it
is not amiss to state that certain cor
respondent at this point for a state
daily was boastiLg the day after the
call was issued that General Mabry
had given him the exclusive copy the
night previous in order that his paper
might publish it in full, and that he
would buy 100 copies of this aforesaid
CORES pondents paper and mail them
to the different companies, and which
would do away with the official call.
Other correspondents at this point
thought that little strange but said
nothing. There may be nothing IN
the blow of this aforesaid correspond
ent and there may be good deal.
He certainly made the remark though,
and tf.s military boys say they have
received nothing but newspaper calls.
There may be policy in this and there
may not, but for the sake of the COM
panies who don't know whether there
is an encampment or not the above
explanation Is given in order that
they may be posted on the subject
that Austin expects them at least.

IT has come to our knowledge, that

gamblers from distant cities will be IN
Austin, with view of plying their
vocation. We are also informed that
few local gamblers are now engaged
in sporadic violations of the gambling
laws. AS peace officers who are de-

to give this last warning to all gam
bera, that the law must and shall be
respected Owners of property who
rent to persons for gaming purposes,
do so at their peril.
