THE singers of San Antonio have taken
the initial steps towards making the
State S@ngerfest, TO take place in this
city in 1896 success. Mr.. G. III. Muel-
Ter, of the Beethoven M9nnerchor, is the
temporary chairman and has been author

sometime In September. At this meeting
delegates and committees are to be select
ed and active organization will be begun
for The festival. This will give the sing
ers OF the state year or more of time in
which to drill for the union chorus songs.
The last SangerfeSt given here was one
OF the most notable and successful ones
and the local vOtaries of the vocal art in
tend TO eclipse even that effort
AT the Houston S9ngerfest," said one
of the leading local singers, mo strangers,
except the singers themselves, attended,
but with the San AntoRio festivals 1t has
always been different. The people know
what San Antonio can do, and from eX-
pressions that have heard, there can be
no doubt but that the surrounding towns
will turn out en- maSSe." .--154

After the pole was chopped off at the

one particular parlor, which is full OF
hooks and embrasures, large and small,
to accommodate groups Of various size,
it Is quite common to see the quaint lit

several different companies. The toned

Thought They Were Worth It.

Billings was travelling man, carry
ing a line of handkerchiefs and neck
wear. He met rather attractive young
woman on one of his trips, and before
he realized how i'll it comported with
his duties he had married her.
Nature had never intended him for a
married man, and he was seldom at
home, even when his duties would have
permitted him. Finally he became ir-
regular in the matter of remittances,
and his wife, needing some pin money,
took down his route book and found a
letter would reach him at Peru, Ind. So
she wrote him there, asking for $40. He
was in the Bearss House billiard room
when he read the letter. He had no $40
to spare. He needed all his money for
his own follies.
But the request annoyed him. He got
up, walked about the room for a mo-
ment. and his eyes at length rested on a
deck of cards, lying where some man
had completed game of solitaire. The
top card on each pile was nine spot.
Billings looked at them moment,
then picked up the four cards, inclosed
them in an envelope and sent it to his
wife. At Charlottesville he received an
other letter from her, demanding in in
dignant terms what he meant by sending
her four mines. He sat down in the writ
ing room Of the Robbins House and
wrote the following reply:
"You wanted $40. / sent you four
mines. Four mines are worth $40 any
time. Chicago Herald.

ment from public life would bring upon
MIR. Gladstone just those evils which he
designed to avoid are beginning to find
their judgment justified. The grand old
man has aged many years in the past
three months. The picture he made at
the DIR. Andrew Clark memorial meeting
the other day was pitiful one. He was
a feeble, bent octogenarian, who leaned
upon stout stick even when addressing
the audience from his chair. His words
were brave, polished, well chosen and
appropriate. Not a shadow has vet
crossed his shining intellect, but both
flesh and spirit are breaking. He is not
i'll, no specific malady is undermining
his marvellous vitality, but the great
change, which his grieving friends can
not fail to recognize, is making rapid
progress. He has lost interest in life !;
that is ominous. For sixty years he
found rest in other forms of activity and
peace in new struggles. Work has been
his only recreation. Fresh responsibility
never failed to renew his vigor. His
friends are beginning to understand now
what Sir Andrew Clark saw clearly that
for such man to fold his hands meant
despair and death.

Mrs. Flower Has Been a True Helpmate to

When New York's present governor
Roswell p. Flower-was young man Of
25, all the wealth he had in the world was
81, 900, which he had saved during six
years service as assistant postmaster of
Watertown. This money he invested in
the jewelry business in 1859, forming the
partnership of Hitchcock & Flower, which
lasted for couple of years, when Mr.
Flower bought his partner out and there
after conducted the business alone. In
Christmas week of that same year-1S59
Mr.. Flower formed another partnership
of longer duration than the jewelry firm.

Woodruff, daughter of Norris M. Woodruff
of Watertown, and their partnership has
lasted ever since.
Governor Flower has been a very success
full man in business as well as in politics
and now counts his dollars by millions.
That Mrs. Flowers tactful encouragement
has had large share in the creation of
that success cannot be doubted by any one

SEVERAL DON'TS.
Proper Food to Cause Rapid
Growth in Poultry.
FACTS FOR THE APIARISTS.

Watch Your Colonies and Feed the Des-
titute-EarIy Bees Help to Breed the
Large swarms.
Spring is the season when the bees are
most in danger Of starvation and dwin-
ding. Watch your colonies, feed the
destitute till the honey crop opens and
lessen the room by means OF partition
board, increasing the space as it is
needed.
If you have to feed, do not feed at the
entrance or out of doors, as it would
teach the bees to rob. Feed in the hive
above the brood.
When you transport bees do not hitch
the horses till the bees are in the wagon.
Unhitch before unloading.
When you see many bees hunting
around hooks and corners you may be
sure there is some robbing going on
somewhere.
One bee in March is worth ten bees in
June, and it is the early bees that help
to breed the large swarms. So make
things convenient for your bees early in
the season. supply them with water
close at hand and flour in place of the
pollen, which they cannot get yet.
Two drones cost as much to raise as
three workers, and after they are raised
they keep on eating while the workers
labor for you.
In early spring remove the drone comb
and replace it with worker comb or comb
foundation as much as is in your power.
You will always leave more drone comb
than needed, and every square foot of
drone comb replaced by worker comb is
equal to a dollar saved
Remember that comb costs the bees
about ten pounds of honey for every
pound of comb. So, if your honey is
worth 10 cents pound, worker comb or
comb foundation is worth to you 81 per
pound. This is why the business OF
foundation-making has taken such great
proportions. Every man who uses it
doubles his investment.
The use of comb foundation not only
saves great deal OF labor and time to
the bees, but it also secures straight
combs in the frame and does away with
the overproduction OF drone comb.

BERLIN.-Nine editors have been SEN
fenced at the end of two days trial for
having libeled the police in commenting
on their conduct at the Friederichsruhe
brewery January 18 last. On this date
a company of policemen attacked with
drawn swords meeting of the unem-
ployed, and drove all from the neighbor-
hood of the brewery. The affair was
made the subject OF interpretations in
the Reichstag, and was debated with ex-
cessive bitterness by the Social Demo-

were Social Democrats. They received
these sentences: Robert Schmidt OF the

They have kind of chirping for that.
What. then, do the song and the Growing

good dinner, or when the sun shines
brightly ana warmly, or when any other
cause makes it think that life is worth
living, the rooster crows joyously. Mu-

emotion, but with him it has been re-

used naturally for every expression of
happiness, as with the uneducated and
unscientific rooster or song bird.

LoNpoN.-A dispatch to the Standard
from Rome says Don Carlos, the Spanish
pretender, has intimated to the Pope
that, while he is devoted and obedient
to the vicar of Christ, he cannot counsel
his followers to abandon the cause in
Srain, which is that of reclaiming his
legitimate rights, which claim is similar
to that Of the Pope for the restoration
OF temporal power. This decision from
Don Carlos, which challenges the Pope's
present attitude TO the reigning dynasty
OF Spain, has produced deep impress
sion at the Vatican. A large portion OF
the Spanish clergy follow Don Carlos.

An Expedition In Africa That Will End
the Arabs Influence.
ZANzTBAR.-Advices have reached here
from Mengo to the effect that the fugi-
tive expedition under the command of
Colonel Colville sent against Kabarega
Kingof Uniyore, has completely defeated
the Kings forces. In November last
King Kabarega attacked chief at Toru,
who was a British ally. The chief ap-
piled to the British for aid, and a force
OF 200 Nubians commanded by Major
Owen was sent to his assistance. This
force met Kabarega's forces, and after a
fight that lasted three hours the latter
fled, leaving at least fifty dead. War
was then declared on Kabarega and a
force of 400 Nubians and 10000 Wyan-
dota natives sent against him. Five
thousand of the latter carried arms.
This force was too strong for Kabarega,
and though he gave battle, he was routed.
The expedition has established chain
of forts from the Albert Mama, on the
banks Of which Kabarega's headquarters
were situated, to Uganda. 1t is expected
that the success OF the expedition will
prove a death blow to the slave trade of
this region and will bring Arab influence
to an end
