Licenses for Dancing schools

The recent decision that teachers of dane
ing schools, who give entertainment
are required to pay a license fee of 50, is
causing them no little trouble.
Many have been conducting quiet classes
for years past without licenses, ,occa sionally
giving small entertainments, and in view
of this they feel that, to be obliged now TO
pay and also run the risk of being arrested
without notification, for f;iiiing to have
the permit, is an injustice and an annoy
ance.
In this connection ii has been stated in
The Times that Miss Grace W Cox had been
arrested for giving g dance without o liz
cense. The facts are that Miss Cox, who is
a well-known teacher of small private
class, has for several years conducted it
without being obliged to pay Il license fec.
She was therefore surprised when notified
by policeman that she was liable to be
prosecuted. and in order to protect herself
left $40 at the station house. This she did
pending a legal determination of the ques-
ton in the Oppenheinler case, and it is
in no case constituted as an arrest.

The steamship st. Paul Of the
American line will be launched to
day from the yards of the Cramps
at Philadelphia and will be chris
tened in due and ancient form.
The new steamer will measure 554
feet in length over all with max
imum beam of 60 feet, and will be
one of the finest ships of her class
in the world. What the speed of
the st. Paul will be is yet a mys-
terry, but her engines are expected
to develop 10000 horse power and
enable her to show a CLAIM pair of
heels to the fastest of the ocean
flyers. The st. Paul was so de-
signed as to make her serviceable
as q cruiser in time of war as we'll
as a transport for large bodies of
troops. An armament of 8 inch
rifles and secondary battery of "a
pid fire guns will be built for her
by the government and kept at
one of the navy yards ready to be
mounted in the event that she is
needed by the government as a
war ship. The st. Paul will not
only be a valuable addition to the
American merchant marine but to
the navy as we'll, and her speed
and magnificent sea-going quail
ties are expected to show that no
country in the world is superior
to the United States in ship build
ing.-States.

More Young Men in the Pen.

Somebody has said that there
are more young men in the peni-

trades than there are out of them,

cipal cause of this is, we are edu-
eating our young men for gentle
men; trying to make lawyers, doc
tors and clerks out Of the material
that nature intended for black
smiths, carpenters and other
"hexers of wood and drawers of
water" It is a mistake, and a big
one, to teach boys and girls, by
insinuation or otherwise, that to
labor is disgraceful, or if labor is
necessary for a livelihood to fol-
low a genteel occupation and that
to do nothing for a living is more
becoming the society in which
they expect to move and have re.
spect. Hang such a society! II

WHAT WE SAID. =

The MESSENGER has never said
or insinuated that there were only
Eve men in the town who could
intelligently manage the affairs
of the town, as interpreted by one
of our correspondents last week.
We have simply said that we
thought it would be just that the
task of the towns affairs be taken
from the shoulders of the present
board and placed upon those OF
some of our other business men,
as we thought we had enough
good stock to select from; but we
have said very plainly, that the
town should be under the charge
of business men interested in its
welfare, progress and improve
ment, and we objected to politi-
clans.
It ia not our desire to boast or
to praise the present administra-
ton, but we are willing to COM
pare its administration OF the
towns affairs with those OF past
administrations for 20 years back.
The present administration can
show more good work and more
improvements made in three years
than were made by previous ones
in 20 years, and we can further
add that the town has prospered
more in those three years, than
she did in many years past; and
vet, we do not claim they can dc
better than other business men
but we do say they have done
much better than those we have
already tried. The proof is there,
visible.

as a fine vaccine on one person
may be poison for another, in no
case should vaccine be applied to
q person except by physician.
We would suggest that the town
council get a supply of vaccine
points and make some arrange
ments with the physicians for the
free vaccination of the children.

A Necessary Precaution.

Small pox is at the present time
prevailing and spreading in differ
emit parts of the country; the last
place reported where the dreadful
disease has appeared is at Dallas,
Texas, where they had at the last
report seven cases.
With the rapid railroad commu-
nication we have today the disease
in a distant city may be brought
to another place very easily, as a
person leaving Dallas in the NOR
ming can he here the same or next
day. Though over a hundred
miles away from Dallas, we are
as exposed to the spreading dis
ease as those nearer; and, as it is
in our power to protect ourselves
from the dreadful visitor, it is
time that we should commence to
use vaccine.
We would suggest that we fol-
low the example of some of our
neighbors, and order the compul-
sorry vaccination of all the child
rem attending the public schools,
and invite and request all parents
to have their children and even
grown persons vaccinated. Vacci-
nation, in all cases should be ep-
piled by physicians with good
cow-pox. Parents and children
are warned against the practice of
taking vaccine from other persons

The War Is Over.

States.
The situation on the levee is
such as to give assurance that the
labor troubles will not be renew
ed, and Gov. Foster taking this
view of the matter, has very pro-
perly withdrawn the State troops
who for the past ten days have
been constantly on duty. The
troops have won the praise OF the
community by their conduct in
periodically responding to the
call of the Governor, and their
willingness to sacrifice their bust
ness and personal comfort in Or
der to afford protection to the COM
merce and the labor of the port.
These young men have shown
that they are made of the sort of
stuff that the country can depend
on in time of war, and the States
congratulates them on the fact,
and expresses the hope that no
further trouble will occur to call
them again to active duty.
The States is confident that the
white screwmen and longshoremen
men will stand squarely by the
pledges they have made, and that
there will be no more rioting on
the levee, but on the contrary that
the differences among labor will
be peaceably adjusted and the
work of loading and discharging
ships will proceed without any in
reference.

Houston. Texas, March %. 1885.
Editor Messenger:
The week beginning May 20. 1895, will
be the most important in the history OF
Houston.
In addition to the annual gathering OF
the United Confederate Veterans Reun-
ion Association. there will be the larg-
est encampment of United States and
Texas troops ever held south Of the Ohio
River.
The magnificently appointed grounds
of the HOutOn Driving Park Association
have been placed at the disposal OF the
local Executive Committee, and 1t is
merely repeating the opinions of many
newspapers, published at a distance,
when we say that no more comfortable.
convenient and altogether desirable
place could be had in this country.
The Southern Pacific Railroad will
run complete passenger trains every ten
minutes. upon a belt line from depots
located in the heart of the city to the
Driving Park. Arrangements will be
made in advance to handle $4,000 pas
sengers. daily. at TEN CENTS FOR THE
ROUND TRIP.
The people of Houston are now build
ing permanent Auditorium, capable OF
seating 10000 persons comfortably. The
initial meeting in this superb cOnven-
ton hall will be held BY the Confederate
Veterans. The Auditorium is upon Main
Street, the principal thOrOughfare of
Houston.
A centrally located bureau of infOrma-
ton will be established. which be will
headquarters for everything.
There will be no conflict in any de.
partment, the work is already well in
hand, and the generous people Of Hous-
ton have solved the financial part of the
entertainment sixty days in advance,
The programme is not yet ready in all
its details, but enough has been decided
upon to insure grand success. The old
veterans will be given first considera-
ton in all things. but all visitors will
be taken care of. no matter how many
may come.
The leading decorating firms of Amer.
lea already have their representatives
upon the ground. There is universal
feeling of enthusiasm, which pervades
the entire population regarding the re-
union. Houston is upon her mettle. and
means to make record which will
make Texas and the entire South proud
that she is Texas and Southern city
The railroads of Texas will bring the
Texas troops and Federal soldiers free
of charge, and these young men will de-
light both veterans and visitors with ar
excellent programme.
There will be music bv myriads oil
bands; there will be concerts by train cd
voices; there will be gala times and good
cheer will reign supreme. The boys who
left the older states 10, 20 and 30 years
ago. are now Texas men. and they will
be here from every point in the Lone
Star State to grasp the hands of rela'
tives, neighbOrs, chums and friends
