TRUE CHARITY.

A case Of genuine aud deserving
charity has been brought to our at
tention in the persons of Il. A.. Hagins
and wife, couple residing over the
billiard store house, on East Broad
Street.
The husband, Mr. Hagins is pain
ter by trade, and carries the lead of a
Yankee bullet in his breast as o mark
of courage displayed by him as a gall
liant ex-confederate soldier, whose de-
votion and loyalty to the lost cause is,
in part, today, the cause of his mis-
fortunes, which are greatly augment
cd by old age and Bodily infrmity.
Up to two weeks ago the old man
has earned scanty but honest livli-
hood by plying his vocation as
painter. He was, about this time,
taken down sick and in q brief time
his scanty store and small hoard was
exhausted leaving the helpless Invalid
and his infirm, though faithful spouse
prey to the direst of human necess-
tiles, want Of food, warmth and med
icines.
In this deplorable state, with only
dry bread for sustenance, they were
found by Mr.. L. l.. Starks, who, at
once, undertook to raise fund with
which to relieve their present and
more pressing wants. This he did
without delay. But there yet remains
much more that should be done. The
aid rendered them, for temporary re-
lief, should be increased SO as to make
their relief permanent,
That the charitable public Of our
city will afford this needed succor
we ale fully assured. 1t only remains
then, that some good Samaritan"
shall undertake the task of securing
and applying this relief fund, to se-
curely Danish from this wretched, but
none the less deserving household, the
twin spectres Of want and care. Who
will volunteer for this christian duty?
Let them speak, or, better still, act
and that too, at once.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1894-01-09
An Urgent Appeal.

On the 14th of December last the
board of directors Of the Young Men's
Christian Association Issued circu-
lar letter to the people of Texarkana,
setting forth the work of the Associa-
tion and appealing for funds, stating
that during the four years of its exc
istence IL had acquired an indebted
ness Of $1,250, and also stating that
unless this amount was secured the
institution must close Its doors. Last
Saturday small company of citizens
and friends, not exceeding fifteen in
number, assembled at the rooms, and
from that number 1886 was pledged
to wipe out this debt. A committee
was appointed to canvass the city for
tho balance this week, and from day
to day the results Of their work will
be published. Let il be understood
that this is critical period in the his
tory Of the Association, and unless
this amount can be secured this week
the institution must close its doors.
Let the public spirited men and friends
of the Association prepare to contrib
ute towards saving 1t.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

THE BIG BRIDGES.
In Their Possession America Leads
all Other Nations


A Scientific Journal Of recent date,
contains the following excellent article
on the subject of big bridges, both in
the United States and Europe:
They are indulging IN some big
bridge talk in Europe. The high-lev-
ell bridge across the Mersey at Liver
pool is to consist of the three spans on
the srched suspension principal, each
1850 feet, 150 feet above the river at
high water There is to be double
railway track, roadway 40 feet high
for vehicles and sidewalks or foot
paths. The railway bridge proposed
across the Bosphorus at Constantine
pie would be 6845 feet long, or nearly
the length Of the Forth bridge. The
projected Channel bridge between
England and France runs in straight
line from the South Foreland to Cape
Blanz Nez. The structure as now pro-
posed, would consist Of seventy-three
spahs, alternately 1900 feet and 1925
feet long. 1t would give clear head
way of 175 feet at every point between
the piers. Two bridges across the
New North sea and the Baltic canal
have spans OF 150 feet each, and be-
sides railways, carry also common
roadway and foot-paths.
The new East river New York;
bridge, as projected, is to take six or
seven years to complete. The span
will be 1870 feet: the total length from
anchor to anchor, 5000 feet. The tow
ers will be $50 feet high, and the GEN.
ter of the bridge, above mean high
water mark will be lao feet, five feet
higher than the present bridge. There
will be four railroad tracks, The
North River bridge, for which the
house OF representatives has just pass
ed bill, is required to have a clear
waterway of 1000 feet and a clear
headway above highwater Of spring
tides of not less than 150 feet. New
York is unique among the worlds
cities of the first class in the greatness
of its needs of river bridges and In
the almost total lack Of such accom-
mediation. The ferry lines, although
thirteen in number on the two rivers,
can never serve the purposeof bridges
for heavy city traffic to the visitor
from London or Paris it is an enigma
how the people of Brooklyn and Jer-
sey city, manage to transfer them
selves from one part TO another OF
what is virtually ono great town. The
Brooklyn bridge on October IL, dur
ing the Columbus festival, transferred
258, 1858, passengers. The plans now
in progress are to double its capacity.
The ere is one of great bridge build

UNCLE SANS CASH.
Payment Of January Interest has
Greatly Reduced the Cash
Treasury Balance.

A yesterdays dispatch from the Ma
tional Capital states that Secretary
Carlisle's spare time Is being about
all taken up in watching the constant
ly dwindling available cash balance in
the Federal Treasury, and that he will
give this important, and unwelcome
subject, his undivided time and atten-
tion, just at this critical period.
1t is said that by personal talks with
the members of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, and the fl
nance Committee of the Senate, he is
bringing the subject forcibly before
them with view to showing the ne
cessity for some promt action looking
to the relief of the Treasury. The
great falling off in the gold reserve is
particular source Of concern to the
officials and the prospects of its de
crease to much greater extent em-
phasizes, the officials say the absolute
necessity for some measure that win
replenish ii. A number of figures of
interest in connection with the present
fiscal affairs are being collected
for the use of the Secretary.
The rumors that the Secretary con-
templated sending a special message
to Congress calling attention to the
Treasury's condition and recommend
ing immediate measures Of relief, are
again being revived, but prominent
official of the department suggested
that the Secretary had already pre-
sented the matter very fully and
thoroughly i'll his annual report to
Congress. The payment of 1924
164 In interest this month, good por-
tion of which went to New York, has
played sad havoc with the gold re-
serve, which to-day is $75,1s1,901, a
reduction of $5,7O6,689 since tho be-
ginning of the month.
The Treasury Department figures
places the net available balance to-day
at $91, ,S97,09S as compared with $780,
376,555 at the beginning Of the month.
OF the former amount $16,21b,192 is
the net currency, in which, however,
is included the interest checks already
paid and not yet settled.

W. P. Burks, E, A. Collier. The ex-
tent of the loss Is about $4,000; about
$4,000 insurance. The fire was first
discovered in the office of l.. e. I'M
boden & Bro, and spread so rapidly
to Hamil and Schnsbaum buildings
that only small portion of the con-
tents were saved. The three business
houses last named were the largest
merchants and carried large stocks of
general merchandise.
The origin of the fire unknown. 1t
looks very much like the work of an
incendiary, as there had been no fire
In the office of L. E. Imboden & Bro,
where the fire broke out.

DEADLOCK BROKEN.
Democrats Produce Their Own Quor-
um md Go to Work on the
Tariff.

The debate on the Wilson bill is at
last under way. After deadlock OF
four days, the Democrats, with the
aid of warrants to arrest absentees,
succeeded yesterday in mastering a
quorum, and the obstruction which
the non-voting Republicans, Populists
and disgruntled Democrats placed in
the path of the tariff debate last week
was forced aside. A sharp tilt with
Mr.. Boutelle over the Hawaiian mat
ter and lively debate over the adop-
tion of the special order fixing limits
of the debate preceded Mr.. Wilson's
opening speech.
The Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee began at S:15 and
after speaking one hour and half
was 80 exhausted that he asked the in-
dulgence of the House to complete
his remarks on the following day.
His speech evidently made deep i'm
preston. The evening session was
devoted to general debate ON the bill.
In the Senate the Hawaiian con-
troversy wakes warmer from day to
day. Nearly score of resolutions
have already been introduced ON the
subject but the end is not yet in sight;
aud after more than an hours sharp
discussion yesterday the Senate ad-
journed with the promise of prolong-
ed discussion on the Frye resolution
ON Wednesday and possibility of
Mr.. Turpio's resolution being called
up Wednesday. Senator Hoar sue
ceeded in accentuating with practical
certainty the fact that Commissioners
Blount was paid from the secret fund
of the State Department, this being
substantially admitted by the Demo-
crafts.
Senator Frye made an Intellectual
effort to secure vote on his resolu-
ton declaring for non-intervention by
this Government in Hawaiian affairs,
but there was strong objection and
it went over until Wednesday, when
Mr.. Davis, of Minnesota, will speak on
the subject. Senator Turpie, of lndi-
ana, presented o resolution alleging
the inexpendiency of annexing Hawaii
to the United States, but declaring
that the interference OF foreign gov
ernments with that country should be
regarded as hostile to this country,
aud he will probably submit some re-
marks on the matter IN few days.
The above is a substantial account
Of the days proceedings in both
Houses, and indicates very clearly
that this is to be a memorable week
in the Federal Congress, full Of bitter
contests and partisan discussion, But,
in the face of it all, there is, even now,
a smile of confident victory and as
sured success wreathing the lips of
the "Star Eyed Divinity" bringing
JOY to the long oppressed heart of un-
terrified Democracy.
