Mrs. Annie MiIroy.
Special Correspondence Of THE MAIL,
One of the most enjoyable events Of
the season occurred at the residence of
Mrs. Anr1e Milroy, who gave birthday

Dooley, who reached his majority or the
9th Of January. IIis friends wish that
he may enjoy many more happy birth
days. He was the recipient Of many
handsome and costly presents. A large
bonfire Illuminated the place, which was
lighted early in the evening, and as the
night was very dark it served useful
purpose in guiding the people to the
pleasant home Of Mrs. Milroy.

Fad of the Hub.

Boston has one new fad which is dis
tinguished by being sensible. 1t is the
drinking of new eggs. At leading
ladies' restaurant it IS a common sight,
especially on Monday, Commonweal
avenues shopping day, or Wednesday,
after the matinees, to see whole line
of fair damsels file past the man at the
counter busy in breaking eggs in wine
glasses. With experienced gusto the
glowing golden balls are lightly tossed
down at a single swallow. As rule
they are taken perfectly plain and I'M
broken. but some prefer them seasoned
with salt and pepper, which gives them
quite the taste of an oyster. The
other day. just as Beacon street bride
was quitting her parental roof, she
paused at the threshold and gasped:
"Oh, | have forgotten-bring me my
egg quickr' With trembling haste the
servant flew and quickly returned with
an egg in wine glass. Throwing
back her veil, the bride tossed down
the egg, and, thus sustained and
strengthened, she rolled away to tread
the path that leads to the altar.

DALLAS LETTER.
DALLAS, Tex, July 81, 1894

DALLAS, Tex, July 81, 1894.
At eleven o'clock this morning
an old land mark, Craddok's liquor
house, was seen to tremble, in a
little while portion of the rear
wall sloughed off. 1t continued to
do this, till it dawned on those
who had observed it that the
building was going to fall, and to
give the alarm. The adjoining
building, occupied by the Wells
Fargo Express company on the
ground floor, while the upstairs
floor was used as hotel, kept by
Mrs. O'Hara, also collapsed.
From time immemorial "Crad-
docks corner" has been land
mark, veritable guide post. First
it was first class saloon where
any and all kinds of bottled goods
were to be found, where CONNER
cial friends did love to congregate
to wait for either one OF
the cars, Main or Sanjacin-
to, the only lines in
the place for many years. Then,
till the Opera house was built, the
up stairs was the Dallas play
house, there being no other theater.
Later, when Dallas got religion
and shut down on Sunday plays,
designating Sunday from week.
days, this Opera house, as it was
then called, was used on Sunday as
place of worship by one of the
dissenting factions of a religious
denomination till a more suitable
place could be procured. About
$1,000 will repair the two build
ings.
Bank examiner, Joe Talbert, had
occasion to make a trip into the
Panhandle country during the hot
test weather we had in June. He
says water,Swhich is always scarce
in that arid section, was not to be
found at all. The team succumbed
to heat and thirst. After much suf-
fering he succeeded in finding a
"mud hole" that a decent "razor-
back" hog would disdain to wallow
in, but he was only too thankful
to Stake his thirst from hog wal
low.
Major J. r. WATSON, whom the
Japs are DESTROYS of securing the
service of in the conflict with
China, is not unknown in Dallas
He is said to be possessed of splen-
did physique and military bearing
and is said to be well posted in the
history of the Oriental lands.
The people Of Lancaster have
made great preparation for the Old
Settlers Reunion, which is tomor-

ROYAL Writers.

The latest addition to the ranks of
royal authors is the ameer of Afghan
istan. He is writing his autobiography.
Once the ameer was exiled; he tri-
umphed over his enemies, however,
and by the exercise of some very fine
work in the way of practical politics
defeated all their Vaccinations, then
carried dismay into their ranks by APP
pearing suddenly before them at the
head of an immense host of warriors.
All his former opponents are either
dead or in exile and now the ameer
promises the interesting story of how
his adroitness foiled all their best"laid
plans.

BREEDING A RACE OF IDIOTS.

Intermarrying in Germany Reducing Mat
Timony Almost to National Curse.
Matrimony in Germany is singular
institution, says the Pittsburgh Dis
| patch. There are so many restrictions,
! such complement of formalities to be
submitted to, that marriage is rather
unpopular than otherwise. The pre-
vailing idea is to keep money in the
family, and to attain this end the peo-
pie, so sensible and leve!-headed in
many respects, are willing to go any
lengths. a man may even have for his
wife his cousin, his aunt, his step
mother and his sister-in-law combined
he doesn't care so long as he has q
hold on the money. The number of
marriages among first cousins is count
less, and the results appalling. How
many idiots there are in the Father
land / should not like to say. So that
he may keep the money in his family
it is quite common occurrence for an
uncle to marry his niece; and man
will sometimes wed his brothers
widow. In Bavaria it is legal for a
boy to marry at fourteen and girl at
twelve. \ soldier may not become a
benedict until he has reached the age
of thirty-a most unpopular condition,
and one which causes very disagree
able consequences. heard of a case
of man who married his first cousin.
He had four children, one of whom be-
came a leper and two of them idiots
Three committed suicide. the fourth
married her first cousin and had an
idiot child. In another family the re-
suit of an intermarriage between
cousins was two imbeciles out of three
children; all three died young. In one
district numbers of people with dread
fully swollen necks may be met. In
the valleys of the Alps some of the
most deformed idiots on earth are to
be found. They are CretinS and live
by begging, the hideousness of their
looks bringing them in a good deal of
money from the charitably disposed. |
And yet these poor creatures inter-
marry and spread the scourge. The
marriage knot does not require any
great effort in breaking it in Germany.
Chronic mutual dislike and incOmpati- |
bility of temper are sufficient reasons
for divorce

received a thorough education in
this country; he was a subject OF
Great Britain. He held a post in
the British army in Manitoba, but
he and his superior officers disa-
greed. Carter concluded to aban-
don her maiesty's service and came
to the United States.
About seventeen years ago he
came to Dallas and engaged as bar
tender. Here and in Fort Worth
he lived the remainder of his life
as bartender and restaurant waiter.
Had it not been for his great
love of Intoxicating drinks, his
life would have been far
more elevating one. The bartenders,
professional cooks and walters will
give him a fitting funeral from
Undertaken Finskie,s.

Miller will be cited as a martyr
after a while. Judges and lawyers
are saying what a courageous
fellow he is. Commenting upon
his conduct, Judge Ferd. Chas.
Tucker remarked: Ellis demeanor
throughout his trials Che should
have said prosecutions has been
such as to stamp him as a man OF
modest worth and the most heroic
fortitude, under the most trying
circumstances, submitting to his
fate without a murmur." Why
should he not? Policeman Riddle,
who was shot down in cold blood
while in the discharge of his duty
when arresting Miller, Submitted
to his fate without a murmur."
II the truth be told the murderer
has suffered no remorse of con-
science over his crime, nor has he
brooded over the uncertain future
and the mysterious beyond. He
has continued to sleep soundly and
to gain in flesh.
The dog fund has thus far

The friends of Mrs. Ellis, of Mid

Of means, Influence and respecta-

cratic Judge and prosecuted by q
Democratic district attorney. After
his conviction and sentence the

with both Democratic and Repub-

similar to that Of McKane. He

cd by the Democratic party to the
presidency of the United States,
and by Charles 0'Connor, once a
proposed nominee for the same
Office. He was convicted by a
Democratic court and died in a
felon's cell.
Boss Dudley, Republican boss

those of McKane and Tweed. His
guilt was notorious, but Judge
Woods, Republican judge, against
almost universal public opinion,
turned him loose. Dudley was
afterwards honored by his party
and Benjamin Harrison who owed
his election to great extent to the
crimes Of Dudley, and to the ras-
