"A hearing was held last evening in the
common council rooms before the mayer
and city government committee on streets
and highways regarding Bedford Lane. A
petition was presented to have this place
opened as public street. H. T. Gilman
WAS at the head of the move and had A. M.
Goddard rs counsel. S. S. Lancaster ap-
peared in defense of it, claiming that he
owned portions of this land, and Attorney
Southland appeared in his behalf. The
witnesses were: George Pillsbury, J. r.
Wyman, Capt. Partridge, John Woodbury.,
Austin Pease, Fred Tibbetts, G. w. Hanks
aad j. F. Saunders.
The hearing was quite spirited in several
instances, and much detail was INDUCED in.
When it was opened, what it has been used
Is, who lived there, and various little cir
cumstances we're brought out. There has
been three fences put up by Mr.. Lancaster
on this line, and the petitioners believe they
should be taken down and the property
opened. The committee did not render
any decision last evening.
COL H. G. Staples missed the eagle from
lakewood park, yesterday morning, and was
unable to learn where it had gone. In the
afternoon Mrs. Boynton happened down to
MIR. Staples and said that VIM. Hanks, Jr.,
had come to her house to get the rifle. to
shoot wild eagle, as he called it, but be-
lore he reached the place below the State
House where he had seen the bird someone
else had shot it. Who did so Mr.. Staples
Goes not as yet know. This eagle had been
lakewood park over two years, and was
nne bird, which Col. Staples would moi
have sold for $25.

IRRIGATION LOOMING UP.

There is no dis count upon the
fertility of the lands lying with
in this upper San Antonio basin,
or upon the early maturity of
such products as are here grown.
The ono question is that Of sup
ply Of moisture su fficient to cause
termination and carry the growth
to a speedy perfection. There is
but one solution to this question
of moisture, and that is irrigation.
The early cultivators of this re-
giOn very early understood that
and provided for it in the irriga-
tion canals that they opened,
many of which are doing duty to
this day. This was all right for the
needs Of that then, but it is total
ly inadequate for the greater needs
of this now. All the same the les
sons thus taught are for the in
structions Of the larger volume OF
population that is crowding this
be autiful vale. Irrigation is more
a ecessity now than it was a $50
years ago, because the population
is so much greater now than then.
The luxury of importing fruits
and vegetables and berries from
Arizon a, California and North Tex
as is little too rich for the average
blood, especially when equally fine
products can be raised in unlimit
ed abundance within the sound o
the church bells OF the city. There
is not wanting proof in every ar
tesian well sunk in this valley o
the fact that artcsian water il
abundance can be reached herr
and for miles in almost any givel
direction. From the Salado on tn
east to the Cable Ranch on tn
west from the head of the river +
as far south as the experiment ha
been tried, there has been no fail
ure to secure the needed supplies
In fact it is apparent that this cit
is underlaid at distance of LEI

Cleveland being judge, that free
wool clause of the tariff sis an out
rageous discrimination against the
farmer" The farmer will come to
the same conclusion some of these
days and ask for a reckoning at
the hands of the Democratic par
ty. He will ask it at the polls and
will then cause the Presidents
words to rise up in judgment
against them. 1t is all coming
the Republican way.

Emperor William is in high good

The settlement of the tariff on
the Democratic basis shuts down
the New England mills and throws
thousands of operatives out of en-
ployment. This is according to
the prediction of the LIGHT, for if
the threat of doing it produced so
great distress as the last twenty
months have what was not to be
expected in the way of increased
disaster when the threat was made

There is considerable talk of a
hermaphrodite Democrat taking
the stump against Grain in the
Eleventh district. This is alone
for the purpose of drawing the wool
over the eyes Of the Republicans of
that district. Ben Terrell is going
to run in that district against
Grain as the Populist candidate,
and he will poll a good vote. Let
the Republicans put a straight
nomination in the field, some good
Republican in whom all have con.
fidence, and he runs a good chance
to come in between poll and the
outside and distance both the
others on the home stretch. This
is the right course.

ment OF Republican ideas the pro-
lection of these manufacturing
plants is secured. These non-agri-
cultural industries will employ
non-agricultural labor and create
a market for farm products that
will be invaluable to the growers
of grains, fruits and vegetables.

What is the real strength of the
Republican party IN Texas is not
known. Nor will it be until some
sense is knocked into the party
and section leaders and they sur
render all idea of personal aggran-
dizement and unite to put a man
in the van who will poll the relia-
BILE vote of the state. When that
vote is counted and the county and
precinct returns made up it will be
seen how many Republicans there
are in the state, how far it is true
that the colored vote is not Repub-
lican and just what real strength
the party has in the state that it
can bank on in a case of actual
need.

Etretat Cor. of the Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
An avoidance of the Casino
means an entire freedom from the
social life of the place, for it is in
the Casino that is conferred the very
soul of Etretat.
1t is not, as at so many French
watering. places, merely delight
lul adjunct to most of us it is the
place itself. We practically live
there, and only honor our apart
ments for sleep and meals. There
is something very fascinating
about this nucleus of Etretat life:
it is by no means the huge, bar
rack-like place which the name of
Casino conjures up before us, but
a long low, building with wide
veranda, where the band plays of
an afternoon, and wide terrace,
where visitors take their "consti-
tutionals" with undiminishing en-
ergy. Below the Casino, at the edge
of the beach, stand the bathing
cabins, ranged like a veritable
High street. Bathing is quite the
business of the morning, and the
fair swimmer is quite popular
heroine, while to the poorest-spir-
ted members of her sex, who are,
content to bob up and down in the
surf under the guidance of the
bathingman, is meted out pity not
unmingled with contempt. Cur
iously enough, those who pride
themselves on being correctly at
tired are clad entirely in black
when bathing, their costumes be-
ing made as simply as possible,
and the only item in which they
give their fancy some play is in
the matter of headgear. Hats,
which are so much worn a many
French wateriDg-places, are here
conspicuous by their absecne, and
the disfiguring cap, which is of
course worn by every woman who
has any consideration for her APP
pearance during the rest of the day
is entirely hidden in most cases by
gayly colored hankerchiefs tied
round the head in a most fasci-
mating manner. There are peig-
noirs of every variety, some dis
figuring, others of the daintest
description. The prettiest l have
seen yet was of palest pink
Turkish toweling, narrowly striped
with pale yellow, and it had
cunning" little cape trimmed
with lace. The wearer looked quite
irresistible as she stood on the
shore, her, head crowend by
becoming silk handkerchief of a
vivid pink shade. After bathing,
the bathers usually return to the
Casino, and there is a vigorous
walking to and fro on the terrace.
1t very like big family party, for
nearly every one is acquainted
but it has the great advantage over
genuine family party that it is
always possible to get away from
the rest if one wishes. The after
noon brings another assembling to
listen to the band. The men, os-
tentatiously armed with books
which they do not read, and the
woman with work of which they
really do certain.amount, gather
into groups under the awnings
and chat socially to the musical
accompaniment. The day is al
ways brought to close by some
entertainment, concert play or
dance, and it is for the dances that
the smart toilets are reserved.
During the day striking cos.
tunes are very few, tweed, crepon
or cotton gowns being chiefly worn
according to the weather. Ameri-
cans and French women vie with
each other in tasteful costumes.

The investigations that have
been instituted into the work of
Carnegie company in its contracts
with the United States govern
ment, show that that company has
been dealing fraudulently in sup
plying armOr plate to your Uncle
Samuel. With such a cold-blooded
frog as Fricke at the head of af-
fairs there is no room for surprise
at this outcome of affairs. That
man was shown up in this real
colors in the troubles Of that firm
a few months ago, and from the
picture of him then painted it was
seen that he had no bowels of COM
passion, no sense of human feeling,
no conception of just dealing
with his fellows, and could not be
expected to deal honestly with the
government, even in so important
a matter as armor plate for battle
ships. Such diabolical fraud shows
a reasonable mind if not a treason
able intent, and should be punished
with a straight waistcoat in a
prison cell. The time to strike at
such men is all the time and every
where. They disgrace human kind
by appearing in its image.
