When a little boy Sheriden Le Fanu wrote the following essay on the life of man: "A mans life naturally divides It. self into three parts-the first when he Is planning and contriving all kinds of will liany and rascality; that is the period of youth an innocence. In the second he Is found putting in practice all the villiany and rascality he has contrived; that Is the flower of manhood and prime of life. The third and last period is that when he is making his soul and preparing for an other world; that is the period of do- tApen

WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1894.

There is not a friend of the la
borer in the United States that
will not rejoice in the conviction
and punishment of the frauds in
the Carnegie works, by which
worthless plates were palmed off
on the national government, rend-
ering the armor of the ships upon
which it was placed useless. The
superintendent of the work is di-
rectly involved in the revelations
that have been made, and with the
recollection Of his cruelties fresh
in the minds of the people his pun
ishment to the full extent Of the
law would be a consumation most
devoutly to be wished. Such men
should be treated to touch of the
hell to which they condemn the
unfortunates who are under their
taskmastership.

NOT A GRAVE.
Although 1t Looked Like One, and
Many Thought 1t Was.

Many Thought 1t Was.
Gus. Schmidt, a resident of the
Sixth ward, who lives at the COR
ner Of Bell and Benton streets
about seven blocks north of Mill
tary headquarters, early yesterday
morning discovered, by aid of the
moonlight shining brightly at the
time, man at work in the mes.
quite brush some distance off the
road, actively digging hole in the
gravel and earth under a mesquite
tree. Yesterday evening he report
ed the matter quietly to the Alamo
police station, and watch was set
on the place by Officer Bergin, who
waited near the place for several
hours last night, but failed to catch
a view Of the nocturnal laborer.
1t is thought by some of the
neighbors that perhaps a baby's
grave was being dug and that
little corpse, which the broad light
of day might expose and lead to a
rigid investigation of some GRIMM
ality, would be deposited there last
night.
Others think, and this is more
probable, that some persons had
conceived the notion of searching
for buried money in that locality.
1t is the common belief that in
early times great deal of money
was buried in and about San An
tonic and quite frequently secret
search is made for the same by
credulous people. A party of citi-.
zens made such a search recently
and they claim to have been re-
warded by finding large sum of
hidden wealth.

The next Legislature that is
chosen in Texas should reflect the
horse sense of the people as well as
their reputation of those who
make game of politics and run the
elections as they do any sport.
There are questions of vital inter-
est to the state that are to come
before the Legislature at its next
session and that body should be
composed Of the most conservative,
honest minded, clear headed, I'M
prejudiced and patriotic men in
the state in order to face that leg
islation in the needed direction
Streams rise no higher than their
sources and the acts of the Legis-
lature will not reflect more than
the average progressiveness and
intelligence of that body.

George T. Angel, president of

half a million men to work on
canals and other public improve
ments. All very well so far as it
goes, but to what purpose will this
temporary relief be when the ports
of the old world will flood the
ports of the United States with an
other half million idlers within
another year? Why not take radi-
cal measures of relief, by cutting
off the supply of surplus labor,
then it would be comparatively
easy to provide for the unemploy-
cd that are here. Restricted i'm
migration is the sole relief.

Tho Peanut Parity

This makes great sport for home
entertainment. A large quantity Of
peanuts is needed, 1t Is better to
roll severally hundred or more in
violet ColOred tissue paper. Then
twist canary-cOlored tissue paper
around punches of threes or fours to-,
gether. Before the guests arrive the
peanuts must be we'll hidden, but In
such places that they can be readily
found-hehind pictures or easy chairs
or among the cushions, etc. After
the company is assembled give each
individual silk bag matching the
colors Of the tissue paper This one
whose bag is first filled receives the
first prize, the one who has the most
violet Colored peanuts the second,
and he who has the most canary col
ored peanuts has the BOBBY prize.
This game may be varied to suit
taste and circumstances. 1t is always
a frolic and may be followed with old
fashioned favorit'es such as "blind
mans bluff" "oats, peas, beans, ="
turning the platter" singing Of

The Santa Fe Failure.

Such an event as the failure of the
Atehison, Topeka, and Santa Fe
Railway Company, occurring in for
mer times would have preclpitated
panic in the midst of prosperity, or
would have increased vastly the ter
rors of an existing panic. The fail
ure of Jay Cooke and the half-nnish-
ed Northern Pacific Pathway in 1873
created the panic of that year. The
interests involved in that catastro-
phe were not one-tenth as extensive
or important as those Of the Santa
Fe. Yet this occurrence did not
affect the money or stock market to
the extent Of one.half OF one per
cent. on the total volume of business.
The loss on securities fell so lightly
and were so widely distributed that
the result amounted to but little
more than ripple along the shores
of the business world.
The disaster to the Santa Fe is the
result of nothing but misdirected en-
terprise and errors in management.
In 1881 the stock Of the Santa Fe
sold at l544. From 1886 to 1888 the
stock was but point or two below
par. The plan OF extension then bea
gan. The line to Chicago was built
and the immense terminal property
on. State street was acquired.
The Chicago extension never paid,
but caused loss of business to the
main line. The business Of the main
line, which had been divided at the
Missouri River among several roads,
kept them all In friendly spirit and
the Santa Fe received their COM
bined transcontinental traffic. When
it built rival line to Chicago it lost
all the Chicago and eastern traffic OF
other lines Practically the same
result followed the acquisition OF all
its extensions and subsidiary lines.
Each step OF enterprise excited the
hostility OF rival lines whose terri
tory was invaded. The main line
lost traffic and the branches did not
do self-suppOrtlng business Every
attempt to conquer other worlds i'm
paired the value Of its own world as
source of profit
In the bankruptcy Of such great
roads as the Northern Pacific, the
Union Paciac, the Erie, the Santa Fe
and other systems profound, lessons
are to be learned In the science Of
railroad management, and especially
In the morals Of railroad fnancIer-
ing. With good business principles
and honesty as basis OF manage
ment every one of these railroads
should be solvent and paying good
dividends on its stock.

Ward, or Disease.

The production OF vaccine virus Is
a curious but very simple proceeding
1t is generally known that the virus
is obtained iiom cows, and there are
a number Of vaccine "farms," as they
are called In this country, In order
to secure all the vaccine when ma
ture, and to make neat work, the
cows are placed In stalls, with the
movements of their. hind limbs care
fully impeded, A pole is placed in
slanting position on each side Of the
hind foot and the animal cannot step
about to any great extent. Then the
operator shaves all the hair from the
back part of the hind legs, from the
hips down to the knee Joint. In the
broader portions Of this part OF the
anatomy there are located the milk
glands, and it is there the propagation
proposes to secure his lymph.
The shaven parts are sponged of
Clearly and then marked with numer-
Gus little scaritlcatlons. Into these
little cut places portion of warm
fluid lymph, taken from COW in the
advanced stages Of the production, Is
poured, being gently and persistently
rubbed by the operator till he is sat
