will close by telling you what these fell
lows remind me of. They remind me of
a spoiled boy that once heard of who
was always wanting what he didn't have,
and when he got it he didn't want it.
This same boy one day leased the life
almost out of his mother for knick-knicks
and good things to eat, and she, like all
good mothers, INDUCED him until finally
his little stomach rebelled and he began
to cry and his mother says: Why, John
ME what's the matter, what do you want
now? And Johnnie, poor fellow, says,
boo, hoo, boo hoo, me got the belly ache,
that's what l wants. And that's just
what's the matter with these fellows.
They have got the belly ache.

HILLS VENTURE A FAILURE.
Slim Audiences Forced the New York
Senator to Cancel Dates.

Minneapolis, Dec. 1.-Senator David B.
Hills lecturing tour in the Northwest has
proved q failure and came to an abrupt
end today when the senator closed his
business arrangements with his manager,
cancelling all further engagements and
returned to New York with the reason
assigned for this action that he had CON
tracted n severe cold while at Duluth,
making him averse to public speaking at
present The fact is, however, that the
audience which gathered to listen to him
at Milwaukee, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth were SO meagre that the financial
returns were insufficient to pay expenses
and Senator Hill refused to talk for
nothing. He lectured last night at Du.
'luth and came to Minneapolis this even
ing. He was. booked for 10 lectures al
together. The arrangements for the
lecture tour were made by Minneapolis
parties. Before leaving the city tonight
Senator Hill declined to be interviewed
and was evidently much disguised. with
the reception he had met with while on
this tour.

AND ANOTHER.

When l first read Mr.. Hancock's plat
form was very sorry to find his advoca-
cy of running the dam for profit. But
since his specific declaration in his speech
at Millett's opera house that it was not
his intention or desire to raise the pres
ent rates for water and light, | most
heartily agree with him and feel conf
dent that the great majority of fair mind
ed men, whether they be rich or poor, will
also approve of his suggestion. In the
first place, we all agree that our greatest
present need is an influx of enterprising,
public-spirited business men with fair
amount of capital, and / know of nothing
that more promptly attracts this class of
men than a low rate of taxes without
being deprived of modern improvements
and facilities. So that as long as we
have the cheapest water and light rates
in the United States and only from one
third to one-ffth the rates, charged by
the old water company, can not imagine
a better use that the surplus income,
after paying running expenses, interest
and sinking fund, can be put to than a
reduction of taxes. saw it stated, edi-
torially, in the st. Louis Republic short
time ago that the income from the st.
Louis water system amounted to over
81 100000 more than the expense of
operating, and this surplus was used for
promoting various public improvements,
which was commended in the highest
terms, and for my part / should be de-
lighted to see Austin following in the
footsteps of so progressive a city as the
commercial metropolis of the Mississippi
valley, and sincerely hope Mr.. Lewis
Hancock will be put in the mayors Office
and reelected until he can carry his sug-
gestions into practice. X. Y. u.

his last and expiring effort last night to
pave a way that would enable him to
mount to the honored position as head
of the city government. All during the
afternoon the people were reminded of
the coming event by large pieces of can
vass, upon which was announced the time
and place of the display; from the canvass
protruded a war-like instrument, but
which inreality was only trumpet, that
eyer and anon sounded forth in doubly
discordant tones, that were variously in
terpreted.. In response to the invitation
announced on this rare spectacle quite a
crowd of voters and curiosity seekers as
sembled at the place to see the pyrotech-
mic display, and also to see the shipe
forces stack arms and gracefully, but
reluctantly, bow to the inevitable and
retire from battlefield on which had
been used as ammunition for an entire
week an inferior brand of political tom
my-rot. AS political manipulation, Mr..
Shipe can not be called a Napoleonic sue
cess, and the way he twisted the wires
last night demonstrated beyond question
that he would never connect with the
goal OF his ambition. In these days of
strife and turmoil a political accident is
Dy no means an impossibility, but I'M
fortunately for Mr. Shipe he 'got out on
limb at the wrong time. He over
estimated his capacity and showed lack
OF wisdom in the selection of his lieuten-
ants and held marshals. Mr.. Shipe would
probably have made a better showing if
he had commanded the entire field him
self, for if he had done SO, he would not
have given his lieutenants such an op-
portunity of displaying before the public
the fact that they were the possessors of
the largest intellectual vacuums in Chris
tendon. The Rev. Granville Jones was
master of ceremonies, last night, and
| after introducing Mr.. Shipe the second
| time succeeded in getting him before the
| crowd. The reverend gentleman's well
| known enthusiasm over small matters
| seemed to get the best of him when in his
introductory remarks, he gave vent to the
by no means settled question that Mr..
Shlpe would be the next mayor of Austin
| This gentleman voluntarily took it upon
| himself the task of enlarging his hitherto
small field of action, and last night he
felt a weight of responsibility resting
| upon his shoulders, never before eX-
perienced by him. Mr.. Shipe after being
| introduced proceeded to build over again
| the electric street car line and to develop
| Hyde Park, all in the interest of for
| eign corporation not otherwise doing bust
ness in the State. He also explained how
he made 100000 out of this same cor
porate enterprise.
After these startling exploits of genius
and enterprise had been paraded before
the crowd the Rev. Granville Jones re-
appeared upon the scene and after wildly
| calculating something about Hyde Park.
anarchy, and the taking up of residence
or boarding at the refuge for unfortunates
| east of Austin, closed with q physical
| demonstration in every way worthy of
his long practice and distorted views.

State College Episode Was Settled Out
of Court

Bellefonte, Pa. Dec. 1.-The disgrace
full hazing episode at State College re
Gently, when IA students were suspended
for shooting Daniel Shivery's house with
cannon, was finally settled yesterday.
The students dubbed together and rails
ed sum sufficient to pay Mr.. Shivery for
the damage done to his property. The
students were to have appeared in court
here this week as a result of Shivery's
prosecution, but the hazers have escaped
that ignominy. ..r
These sophomores had wanted to haze
two freshmen who live at Shiyery' s
house, and they surrounded the place one
night and demanded their surrender. The
freshmen refused to go out, and the
sophomores stole the old college cannon,
loaded it with tomatoes and stones and
fired it against Shivery's house. The
owner and one of the freshmen then sal
lied forth with shotguns and routed the
sophomores. Claims for damages were
entered against the students and IA of
them We're suspended.

Philadelphia, Nov. 30.-In the court of
oyer and terminer today, Judge Arnold
refused to grant Herman w. Mudgett,
alias II. II. Holmes, who was convicted
on November of the murder in this
city, September 2, 1894, of B. Il. PietzeI,
new trial and sentenced the condemned
man to death. The main reason for a new
trial which was put forth by the de-
PENDANTS counsel were the admission of

claimed as his lawful wife; this district

In reference to Miss Yoke's eligibility
as witness. the judge said that il was
the opinion of the court that Holmes was
not only married to the Willamette, nls!,s
woman, when he welded Miss York, but
that he also had wife in Gilman, N. III.
Therefore the marriage to Miss York
was null and void and the evidence was
admissible. h7Tals aii1 nHlToIf snli
The opening speech of the district at

Holmes, said Judge Arnold, to take oa
the entire Pietzel family in order atoyser,
cure property belonging to the murdered
man. As to the statement Of Mrs. PET.
eel, the Judge had instructed the Jury
not to be influenced by the woman's
statements. He closed by saying that
the court approves the verdict and re-
fuses new trial. s'f-.'''f'
District Attorney Graham then arose
and asked that sentence be pronounced.
Holmes was ordered to stand up. Judge

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

Batavia, N. Y, Dec. LA terrible
tragedy took place at the house of Will
lis Broughton, located about three miles
south of Corfu, in the town of Darien,
early this morning. Broughton was
awakened by a noise in the yard, and
seeing person coming towards the
house. took him for burglar and, arm,
ing himself with an axe, secreted hmseli
in the woodshed. When the man en-
tered the shed Broughton struck him fve
times on the head with the blade Of the
ave. jnficting fatal wounds. When a
light was secured Broughton was horn
fed to find that the supposed burglar
was his hired man, VIM. tanning, aged
20 years.

THE BRUSH MEETING.

At the corner of Ninth and Congress
Avenue, perched on a diminutive dry
goods box, with two small gasoline lamps
burning on either side of him, Mr.. w. B.
Brush made his last flutter last night to
crowd about the same size as his dry
goods box. He said he wanted to, and
would be, the next mayor of Austin, but
as the mist was heavy and the night very
foggy his voice did not penetrate very
far, so that very few will have the pleas
ure tomorrow night of calling Mr.. Brush
down on his sweeping statement. AS
soon as Mr.. Brush finished colored
speaker named Stone, from Waco, took
the stand and spoke for over an hour in
his interest. Stone made a rafting good
speech-full of humor-and kept the
crowd in a continuous uproar from start
to finish. Several colored Hancock men
tried to make speeches, but they were
pulled off the box as fast as they got on
it and the speaking was finally broken up.
