THE POOR OF NEW YORK.

The New York World is doing q
noble work in that city with its bread
fund. No one would imagine that in
the great metropolis of this country,
where numerous men live who count
their money not by the thousands,
but by the millions, that so much
restitution, 30 much suffering for
merely the staff of life, exists.
Thousands of formerly prosperous
workmen have been compelled to cit
idly by and see their wives and chill
dren gradually weaken for the want
of food until their skeleton forms bad
no power but to suffer and be silent,
Under these circumstances, The New
York World etarted bread fund, and
not until those who came for bread were
followed to their homes was the extent
of the restitution and suffering for
food fully known to the public through
accounts written up by the reporters
of that paper and published in its col
umns. Oh, it is pitiable, and unless
the multi. millionaires feed every hum
cry man, woman and child in that
city it is criminal. We thought down
here in Texas that we we're having
hard times, but we have yet to hear of
a family in want of food, and our de
privations seem 80 insignificant COM
pared to the hungry thousands in
New York. While we must feel for
these poor people the tenderest SYM
pathy, wemust congratulate ourselves
that our condition is 80 much better
than theirs. They are starving while
we are complaining of money pressure
in business circles, and but few of us
have been curtailed even in
the luxuries of life. Let no
man contemplate this condition
Of the poor of New York and other
cities of the Union and then look upon
his well supplied table, his well fed
and healthy children and dare to
of hard times. Thank God,
we have escaped the terrible scourge
If hunger and even now brighter days
IRE dawning upon us. In comparison
With many others we have been abun-
lantly blessed and upon this Sabbath
let us be duly thankful.

COLONEL DUPRE IS DEAD.
End Of One Of the Most Brilliant News
paper Men in the South.

paper Men in the South.
Memphis Commercial, August 90.
At exactly 1910 O'Clock last night
Col L. ]. Dupre, the veteran pews-
paper man, died at Raleigh inn, after
an illness of several weeks.
The death of Colonel Dupre was not
unexpected by his friends and those
who were familiar with his condition.
Ii was only few days ago when his
physician performed an operation on
him with the hope that he would get
some relief, but he hoped in vain.
L. J. Dupre was born in Georgia
and his father, Daniel Dupre, short
time after the birth of his son, moved
to Macon, Noxuba county, Miss,
where he became prosperous and
well-to-do farmer. Young Dupre was
remarkable boy in many respects.
He was very bright and his father
gave him a good education. He
graduated at Tuscaloosa, Ala, and
soon thereafter drifted to Memphis.
This was early in the fifties. He
studied law and obtained license, but
never engaged in the practice to any
great extent. In 1854 he married
Governor jones' daughter and for a
while was engaged in the real estate
business in Memphis. During the
war he was the war correspondent of
several newspapers and at the same
time edited paper at Atlanta. After
the war he was connected with the
Memphis Bulletin.
In 1869 he became a stakeholder in
the Memphis Appeal, and in 1870 the
Appeal was owned by Messrs. Gala
way, Heating and Dupre. In 1874 he
eft the Appeal and went to Austin,
Tex. where he assumed control of The
AUSTIN STATESMAN. He returned to
Memphis finally. For time he was
the Washington correspondent for
several papers and, in fact, held this
position until he married the last
time. He returned to Memphis then.
For while before he got down sick
Colonel Dupre was editor of the Pub
lie Ledger. He was man of immense
brain and brilliant attachments and
was versatile writer. He was an in
teresting conversationalist, congenial
and amiable to- fault.
He leaves a wife and several chill
dren.

bit 30 tar as it could be kept
together. Even that much of it would
far surpass anything else of the kind
in the world, and it would prove
source of condensed instruction un-
equaled anywhere. The people OF
Chicago have infinite pride in their
city and are live, wideawake, business
people and it will be very safe to
wager they have considered this ques.
ton in all its bearings and if the thing
is at all practicable it will be done. 1t
would be master stroke for that Won
deriul city and blessing to the peo-
pie of the United States.

Value of Corn Fodder,

The Maryland experiment station
has conducted some very useful exper-.
iments with corn fodder to learn
the digestibility and consequent
value of the whole and of different
parts. The method of harvesting corn
in that state is the same as was once
in practice in New England and is
now practiced in Texas; cutting off
the stalks above the ears as soon as
the spindles wither and letting the
butts with the ears on, stand until
pipe. The stalks thus cut and dried
are what they call topped fodder"
and the "stubble" is the butts below
where the tops are cut off. The fol-
lowing is a summary of results of ex-
periments in the different portions
All parts on the corn plant contain.
valuable food materials, the dry mat
ter having nearly the same compost
ton.
The corn stubble and husks (shucks(
contain go per cent of the total diges-
tible matter produced by the plants,
and the blades only II per cent of the
total digestible matter,
Corn shucks contain 70 per cent of
digestible matter.
Corn stubble or butts contain Sc per
cent of digestible matter.
Corn blades or leaves contain Ga per
cent of digestible matter,
Topped corn fodder contains 90 per
cent of 'digestible matter.
There is more digestible matter con-
tanned in the corn fodder from one
acre than in the corn ears from one
acre
The corn fodder from one acre yields
as much digestible matter as two tons
of timothy hay.
There is enough digestible matter
produced by the corn fodder grown in
the Southern states to winter all the
livestock existing in these states if it
was properly preserved and prepared
in palatable form.
By cutting and crushing the corn
stalks cattle will eat and utilize nearly
all of them.
Corn fodder furnishes food rich in
carbohydrates.

DALLAS VARIETY sHO
A New One Starts and Attempts to Get the
Best Of the City.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
DALLAS, Sept. 4.-Joe Miles opened
a new variety theater on Camp street
tonight. The city would like to pre-
vent Mills from running it. but it ap-
pears that it is powerless to do so.
Mills has procured state and county
and revenue license to run a theater
and sell beer, there being no
such thing known to the law as
a variety theater, so that
a man wishing to run a variety OBJ
tains theatre license and license to
sell liquors, wines and beer and a
combination of these constitutes q
variety theatre. 1t was therefore with
view of preventing such combina-
ton that City Collector Bogel refused
and still refuses to sell Mills either a
beer license or a theatre license.
In regard to the matter CITY
Attorney Wozencraft says: There is
an ordinance pending in the city
council prohibiting the sale OF Jrin ks
in theatres. Until this is acted upon
L am unable to say what course the
city will pursue against the variety
showmen. This variety business is a
vexing NATTER

DEMOCRACY'S GREAT FAULT

The Democratic party has today a
no more inimical or talented foe than
Thomas b. Reed of Maine. This is
very generally admitted, and doubt
less the mostunwilling thing, from a
political standpoint, that he ever did
was to make that silver speech last
Saturday week, in which from mo-
tives of patriotism he favored that
side of the question approved by the
majority of Democrats in the house.

Austin Cotton Market

1 have so often kicked about the
poverty of the Austin cotton market

unknown to the writer, Austin buyers

About two years ago 1 was confined to my
room with breaking out on my leg which my
physician pronounced Eczema About three
weeks ago the same disease broke out again on
the same leg, and my physician has been attend
ing me regularly, calling from once to twice
daily, the sores all the time getting worse. A
friend called to see me, and brought about
one half teaspoonful of CUTICURA, advising
me to try it, telling of himself, brothers and
mother having been cured by it.. l would
not try it at first, although had been on
crutches for over two weeks, and at one time
counted between twenty-five and thirty suppur-
ating sores, and had not slept more than five
hours in three nights. Monday morning about
four o'clock the pain, burning and itching be-
came so severe that l determined to try CUTI-
CURA, thinking that if it did no good, it could
not make my leg much worse, for it was as raw
as piece of beef and as red as beet, SO |
applied the CUTICURA, and in five minutes after
laid down was asleep. Next day sent and
got a box of CUTICURA, and I'll pledge my honest
word would not take 500 to-day for it, if
could not get another. l commenced using
CUTICURA Monday morning about four O'Clock,
and to-day CTuesday) my leg is nearly well, not
withstanding had not walked step without
my clutches in two weeks. My gratitude to the
man who first compounded CUTIcURA is pro
found May God bless him.

THREE FAILURES.

Three Denver Banks Conclude to Suspend
 for Self-Protection, Causing Consider
 able Excitement iu Commercial Circles
 DENVER, Col, July 1s.-Commercial circles are greatly excited over the failure of three banks this morning. The banks constituting the triple failure are: The Colorado savings bank, the Peoples savings bank and the Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar savings bank. An estimate of the total assets are sl,50o,0O0 and lia- bilities are placed at nearly that amount Charles Blakeney was made assignee of the Rocky Noun tain Di me and Dollar savings bank, of which F. II. Woodbury is president and G. F. Clark, cashier. No detailed statement has been given out, but from the books of the institution the assets are s156, 6,s06.53 and the liabili- ties Sl05, 565, 32O The officers of the bank are positive Tn their statement that depositors will receive dollar for dollar.
 The Colorado savings bank, of which r. K. Atkins is president and C. o. At kins cashier, in their statement to the assignee, Alfred Buffers. place the open accounts due depositors at S435, los. 50; certificates of deposit, s50, 0,69936; due other banks, s3,236.95. The assets over liabilities in what is declared to be good commercial paper, well secured, is s73,- 063.72.
 No statement of the Peoples bank can be secured as yet
 It is understood that all the assign ments were preeoncerted and were done for seh-protection and for the protection of the depositors The direct cause of the failures was the strengency of the money market and inability to realize on securities The president of each bank declares that each depositor will be paid in full and the institutions will resume business in a short time,
 An incipent runhas been started on the Denver savings bank. The bank is taking advantage of the thirty and sixty days notification provision and is paying out no checks or drafts for more than S20 each.

A FINANCIAL CRASH.

 Missouri. Colorado and Kansas Banks Close Their Doors After Having stood Heavy
 Runs-Ihe Suspensions, a Surprise to
 Everybody. Due to the Remarkable Financial Distrust that Has Permeated
 Every Artery of Trade.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 1S.-Twenty minutes before noon yesterday the Missouri national bank suspended pay ment, closed it's doors and sent for Bank Examiner Galbraith. The comp troller of the currency at Washington was immediately notified, and notice like this was posted on the door:
 This bank has suspended payment, and is in the hands of the comptroller of the currency.
 The banks assets are l,254, 7S0. 30, and the liabilities, outside of it's capi. tai stock, are s7O0,O00.
 The Missouri national bank is new bank with choice securities, and people seemed to have unlimited faith in it until Saturday, when they started a run which took about s2O0, ,000 from the vaults.
 Yesterday morning the large depos- itors began to draw out their accounts, though there was no run, and men passing the bank could see no sign of anxiety in the banks officers, as check after check for large sums were pre- sented for payment. There was DO crowd about the bank or in the bank.
 The public generally supposed the bank had stood the crucial test of Saturday successfully and would there fore pull through without further trouble. But the remarkable financial distrust that has permeated every artery of trade was surely doing its work, and as soon as the bank opened yesterday morning the big depositors, the friends of the bank, began to with draw. They were not numerous, but their checks called for big amounts
 The bank of Grand Avenue, which carried on business at 1401 Grand avenue, closed its doors at 9:30 yester- day morning. Assets 5000, ,OOO; lia bili- ties, s140.O00. The following notice was posted on the door:
 The bank has made an assignment of all it's assets for the benefit of it's creditors to James B. Ruckett assignee, who has possession thereof.
 Under the notice of assignment was an explanatory statement which read:
 A large amount of money being tied up by the failure of the National bank of Kansas City, we are unable to meet the demands for currency at this time. The bank has ample securities to pay its depostors in full and will have to ask your indulgence until the assets can be realized on.
 Signed. BANK OF GRAND AVENUE.
 The closing of the doors caused no excitement in the vicinity. Some peo- pie paused out of curiosity to look at the notice, but there was no excited crowd about the bank and no angry depositors The impression prevails in the business community that the sus- pension will only be temporary.
 The bank had capital stock of s50,- 900 and s35,0 surplus. It was opened August 25, 1884. l.. A. Lambert was president; Henry Steubenaeh, vice. president, and II. C. Lambert, cashier.
