That Quiet Mountain Hamlet Shaken Up
and Much Damage Done.
Special to The Statesman.
KERRvILLE, Tex, April IL This
afternoon a cloud BURST struck this
vicinity, accompanied by hail and q
high wind from the northeast. For
As minutes the water fell in torrents,
flooding the city and doing much
damage, gathering in force as 1T came
from the hills north of town, until it
ran in solid body a foot deep on
level carrying fences, bundles of shin
giles, lumber, boxes, drowned chick
ems, water closets and other light ar
ticles with it towards the river. The
Guadalupe river is rising rapidly and
at p. m. was reported as having
II foot rise.
During the storm the barn of j. A.
Alexander was blown down and his
house lifted three feet from the fouD-
dalton. The kitchen of G.
L. Char was torn loose
from the main building and
carried several feet. The large
glass windows in the residence of w.
Schreiner were blown in and the
house flooded. A small one room
house, said to be the property of Sem
ator r. a. Burnay, was swept from it's
location on the hillside to the fiat be-
low. Windmills were blown down
and several shanties in the Mexican
quarters north of town here turned
upside down. No one reported as in
jnred. Heavy rain is reported from
the Morris ranch and points on the
| line of the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railway southeast. The rapid
rise in the river indicated heavy rains
| towards its head.

lions Made a Good LIVING
The professional beggar is not mode
ern innovation, by any means, says tho
North American Review. A specimen
case was "Scarecrow, the famous
London beggar, who, having disabled
himself in his right leg, asked alms all
day in order to get warm supper az
night According to John limbs, the
"Rufllers,n whom we often find men
toned in the literature of the seven-
tccnth century, were troops OF IDLE
warrants who infested Lincoln's Inn
Fields, London. They assumed the
character Of manned soldiers who had
suffered in the great rebellion ana
found a ready prey in the people OF
fashion and quality who drove by. In
deed. it is made clear by contemporary
allusion in comedies that this square
was the regular haunt Of bogus GRIP
pies who lived by mendicancy, which
they carried on in the most baretaced
and even intimidating manner. 1t IS
related that George ~, when prince
Of Wales. once attended a beggars
carnival in London, incOgnito lie
had not been there very long when tho
chairman addressing the company and
pointing TO the prince, said; 81 call
upon that ere gemman with shlrd
for song" The prince, as well as he
could, got excused upon friend who
accompanied him promising to sing in"
stead. which the latter did amid great
applause. The health of the prince
and his friend having been drunk and
duly responded to, they departed in
order to afford the company an oppor-
tunity to fix their different routes for
the ensuing days business, for at that
time the professional bcggars OF Lon
don used to have general meeting
several times during the year at which
they were divided into companies zach
company having its particular walk.
In those days their earnings varied
much, some getting as high as five shil-
lings q day. Most of the professional
bepgnrs in London to-day-and their
name is legion-emanate from two or
three common lodging-houscs. The
most populous Of these, whichis known
as "The Dispensary," supports an IN
dividual known as q "scriver," who
earns a living by manufacturing the
pathetic signboards which the sham
cripples and the bogus blind men carry
round their necls. In Paris, as is well
known, the professional beggars hold
regular weekly meetings at which the
routes to be followed by the members
Of the guild are mapped out by q
standing committee. They have an
organ Of their own called the Journal
des Mcndicants, which appears twice a
week. From recent issue the follow
ing curious advertisement is takeni
"Wanted-To engage cripple for a
seaside resort Good references and a
small deposit required" This queer an
nounccment is explained by the fact
that the proprietors Of hotels and
clearinghouse at fashionable French
watering places assume that visitors
would be disposed to give aims if an
opportunity were afforded them, and,
as they cannot very well do the beg
cling themselves, they engage profess
sional beggars, to whom they grant
permission to solicit aims on their
premises, and the bcggars in return
pay them onc-half of their daily re-
ceipts.

signed by over 100 high officials i'm
peaching Lii Hung Chang and charging
him with corruption, peculation and
deception. The memorial also says
that Ii Hung Chang rejoiced at the Jap
anese victories and prevented the Chi
nese from achieving success. He is
said to have represented that China
was prepared for war when he knew
the contrary was the case. Ii Hung
Chang is also said to be implicated

was recently appointed director, and
with Tatoai Wu and the commander Of
The Chinese forces at Port Arthur.
These officials are being accused of
high treason and of selling state secrets
and war material to the enemy.
They were further charged with in
vesting money in Japan, harboring
treasonable designs against the Chinese
empire and conspiring to procure the
overthrow of China. The memorial
demands the instant punishment and

The Elections aud silver

The effect of the recent elections on
the silver question is a matter that has
becn much discussed in the Eastern
press. The calamitous defeat of the
Democracy in Ohio, with their free
silver plank, was hilariously claimed
by the goldite Democracy of the East,
and their allies the Mugwumps, as a
heavy blow to the silver cause. The
defeat of Mr.. Bland in Missouri, the
great silver Democratic champion, is
counted by them mortal wound for
the silver cause. All along the line
where the Democracy has undertaken
to raise the silver flag it has suffered.
The showing is an extremely disastrous
one for any who place their reliance
for silver legislation upon the Demo
cratic party. The election showed
emphatically that the Democracy is
not true to silver. Tt could not be ex-
pected to be, because it has never been
true to anything except mischief and
evil to the American people.
On the other hand, the Republican
passE has been coming more and more
to tS Se silver standard. Protection and
fver Are getting to be day by day more
pronouncedly the slogan of Repub.i55
cans. The people understand that the
Republican party can be trusted to
carry out it's declarations. When the
Republicans and the Republican party
declare for free silver, as they are con-
stantly doing, the people know they
mean it. Therefore, we count every
victory won by the Republican party
as victory for silver, as well as for
protection. When resolutions pro-
nounced in favor of free silver coinage
can pass at such a gathering as the an
nual meeting of the House Market
Club of Boston, we are justified in feel
ing exultant over the prospects of sill
yer with the Republican party. The
Republican sky has not only silver
lining, but it is getting to be pretty
much Of armament of ripping silver
stars.-S. L. Tribune.
