DISEASES OF WOMEN.
"Woman's Weakness"

A new and systematic method.
In the diseases peculiar to women
we employ an entirely new and
unexcelled method, one pro.
claimed in all the leading hospit-
ais of the East and Europe to be
superior in every feature to any
system known in all the ages past &.
We feel in thus adopting this
system that we can earnestly and
heartily recommend every lady
suffering. from uterine or ovarian
troubles of any kind, or any other
form of female weakness, not to
fail by any means to avail them
selves of the chance to be cured.
These painful and distressing
troubles which make the life Of a
woman most miserable, and lay
the foundation for a premature
death, are brought under special
line of treatment, which affords
Immediate relief and most pleas
ant and etfectual cure.

STORY OF HIS LIFE.
A Chinaman Arraigned Before Judge
Price and Tells his Tale of Woe.

A Chinaman Arraigned Before Judge
Price and Tells his Tale of Woe.
Deputy United States Marshal
Lancaster arrived in the city from
Cuero this morning, having in GUS
tody a Chinaman named George
Tayone, a merchant, who had been
arrested on the charge of being I'M
lawfully in the United States. He
was taken before United States
Commissioner l.. F. Price at 10
o'clock for a hearing, and after he
had told his story, the judge rea-
soned that he was lawfully remain
ing in this country, and dismissed
him.
1t seems that Tayone, whose
right name is Hoo Lee, came to the
United States in 1868 and stopped
in California near San Francisco,
where he engaged as laborer for
a man named George Long. He
proved to be a good servant and
Long kept him for a number Of
years, and when the Chinaman
left he took the first nance Of Mr.
and Mrs. Long, and called himself
George Tayone.
About II years ago George came
to Texas and located in Cuero. He
had accumulated some money and
engaged in mercantile business,
selling mostly China goods. He
made quite a success, and desiring
to enlarge his business, left in 1892
for his native land to purchase
supplies.
He remained there until Janu.
airy, 1894, when he came back to
this country by the way of Mexico,
and again took charge of his store,
which had, during his absence.
been conducted under his name by
a manager. Some one seemed to
be jealous of the "Chink" and pre-
ferred charges against him, occa.
siOning the arrest.

A Military Plaza Blaze.

Shortly before midnightan alarm
of fire was sounded from box 26, at
the Central office on Military plaza,
and the fire department answered
the summons. The first floor Of the
Sophie b. Schwartz building, on
DOIorOsa street, just east of the
Porter house, was found to be in
flames. The fire had gained con-
siderable Roadway before the alarm
was sounded, and within a half
hour, the blaze was eXtinguished,
and the second story Of the build
ing escaped being burned. The
lower floor was occupied by NJ. NJ.
Miller, who recently came here
from New York, as clothing
store, having placed about $4,000
worth of stock in the room, which is
total loss, with but a very small
amount of insurance. The damage
to the building amounts to about
$1,000, fully covered by insurance.

HOW GRANT BECAME A SMOKER.
IN Incident That Caused the General to BE

IN incident That Caused the General to BE
Overwhelmed With Cigars.
Ny father, said Colonel Grant,
tried to smoke while at West Point,
but only because it was against the reg
ulati0ns, and then he didn't succeed
very well at it. He really got the habit
from smoking light cigars and cigarettes
during the Mexican war, but it WASH {
a fixed habit. When he left the army
and lived in the country, he smoked a
pipe-nOt necessarily | don't think
that he was very fond Of tobacco then,
and really there was always Il popular
misCOnception of the amount of his
smoking, But he went Oh as light
smoker, casual smoker until the day
of the fall Of Fort DOnelSOn. Then the
gunboatS having been Worsted some
what, and Admiral Foote having been
wounded, he sent ashore for my father
to come and see him Father went
aboard, and the admiral, as is custom
airy, had his cigars passed. My father
took one and was smoking it when he
went ashore. There he was met by
staff officer, who told him that there
was a Sortie, and the right wing had
been struck and smashed in. Then my
father started for the scene of opera
tiOnS. He let his cigar 60 out naturally,
but held it between his fingers. He rode
hither and yon, giving orders and direc-
tons, still with the cigar stump in his
hand.
THE result Of his exertions was that
Fort Donelson fell after he sent his mes
sage of unconditional surrender, and
1 propose to move Immediately upon
your works. With the message was
sent all over the country the news that
Grant was smoking throughout the bat
tie when he only had carried this stump
from Foote'S flagship. But the cigars
began to come in from all over the In
ion. He had II, 900 cigars on hand in q
very short time. He gave away all he
could, but ne was so surrounded with
cigars that he got to smoking them reg
ularly, but he never smoked as much as
he seemed to smoke He would light
cigar after breakfast and let it go out,
and then light It again, and then again
let it 60 out and light it, so that the
one cigar would last until lunchtime."

English Homes and American.

On entering an Englishman's house

his house is adapted to him. On enter
ing an Americans house the first thing
one notices is how well he adapts him
self to his house. In England the estab-
ishment is carried On with prime view
to the comfort Of the man. In America
the establishment is carried on with q
prime view to the comfort Of the wom-
an. Men are more selfish than women;
consequently the English home is, as
rule, more comfortable than the Ameri-
can home
An Englishman is continually going
home; an American is continually going
to business. One is forever planning
and scheming to get home, and to stay
home, and to enjoy the privileges Of
home, while the other is more apt to
devote his energies tomake his business
a place to go to and in which to spend
himself. These minor details Of domes-
tic life put their impress upon larger
