AUSTIN, Nov. 5.-Austin seemed
to have enjoyed an unusual sensa-
ton on Sunday and Monday, in
the shape Of six San Antonio bicy-
clists in knee breeches. Austin is
not the fastest town in the state,
and its easy going burghers had
never seen men rugged out in knee
brooches except on the stage and
in picture books. Now and then
some baseball club or football
eleven in thick podded uniforms
had delighted the populace by
walking across Congress avenue,
but they were all labelled with the
clubs initials. Naturally when
Harry Hale, r. Krakauer, w. f.
Roach, Bert Briscoe, Hugo Good
man and Joe Fuller, of the San An
tonic cycling fraternity walked up
and down the principal streets in
the simple boomers of the cyclist,
the Austinites thought that a new
species Of the "new woman" had
broken loose. The aged captain OF
the Ben Hur had never in all his
life seen such indecent clothes
and very much suspected that
the bicycles were sea serpents
in disguise. So he undertook to
throw wheelmen and wheels over
board, but failing in this, he de.
votedly kissed his rabbit foot
charm and prayed to the water
gods, begging them not to iutllct
their vengeance on the Ben HUI
because Of the strange creatures
that had somehow gotten on board
A little later the bold San An
tonic boys left their wheels at the
hotel and set out afoot to see the
capitol and the town generally
Where ever the boys stopped
groups OF curious spectators eyeC
them from head to foot, but the
strangers were equal to the occa
sion, and turning upon the curious
crowds began to discuss, in decid
eddy audible tones, the varying de
gree Of elasticity that they haC
found in the necks of the Austir
people and as the strangers anC
the citizens found mutual amuse
ment-the citizens is staring at tn,
wheelmen and the wheelmen il
vociferating rubber neck" every
time they met such group. AT
ter honoring the strangers witt
the title Of baseball players, tn
citizens called them foot bal
men, but finally the impression be
came general that they were oars
men. Joe Fuller was at once size,
up as one Of the Gaudaur brother
and Harry Hale was congratula
ted on his victory, under the i'm
preston that he was Paggi, tn
amateur champion Of the state.
The wheelmen have all returne,
to San Antonio and the nervou
excitement into which their visi
had thrown a large element G
Austin's population, has some
what eubsided.

Don't think the best fishing tackle
is made by saloon-keepers. Don't
use two-pound sinker for brook

Don't forget when you cast that
your companions have feelings and

tod will work better in both hands

boy with bran-pole for a rod;
for be generally gets a mess. Don't

gathers in your leaders and flies;
it was not all its fault. Don't laugh

men have been murdered for less

Don't boss your friend when he is
trying to land a fish; he may know
almost as much as you do about

Never shall forget the sight which
greeted me as we entered. writes VIM
nifred Grant, in Home and Country. A
long walk between two lines of people
led to the further end of the room,
where ] saw slender man, in the uni
form of the Austrian hussars, and a
sweet-faced lady in a court costume
that fairly blazed with jewels, sur
rounded by ladies and gentlemen In
waiting, all gorgeously attired- The
brilliancy of the countless crystal gas
lights from the huge chandeliers, the
superb uniforms, wealth of sparkling
Jewels on all sides, and the magnificent
gowns, all completed picture OF daz-
zling beauty, never to be forgotten. /
was dimly aware Of the fact that the
countess had again given our names to
some official, who repeated them to the
master of ceremonies, handing him the
cards. Not visiting cards, mind you,
but huge things with our names so
clearly written as to defy mistake. We
had dropped our trains on entering the
room, and they were Immediately spread
out to their full width and length by
ushers with long wands.
Then we slowly marched up the
room, and after our names had been
announced to their majesties, we each
stepped forward and courtesied, or
bowed, almost to the floor. Then we
backed away, keeping our faces toward
the royal party, until we reached the
end of the room, where we stopped to
breathe for minute. 1 had been pre-
sented, and lived, and was grateful.
Presently there was a movement in
the lines of guests, and at the same
moment a hidden orchestra began a
majestic polonaise. The guests moved
towards the sides of the room, leaving
the center cleared, and, headed by two
ushers with slaves, the royal party
slowly marched around the ballroom
and then retired. His majesty's ball
had been formally opened.

thrown into tank, into which steam
and dissolving compounds are run.
Certain proportions of tallow, borax
and glue are then introduced and the
pulp is run into molds. The molds may
have the form of flowers, leaves, ng-
ures, or geometrical designs. Thepulp
is run into these molds and the figure
hardens in the air. These casts are ar
ranged in the proper figure or design,
when cementing process begins.
The cement is a compound made from
leather pulp and glue, and it is run be-
tween the figures. The figures soften
little with the compound, and the
whole hardens together In the cast
ing of each figure different colored
pulp is used--red pulp for red roses,
white pulp for white flowers, green for
leaves, and so on. Thus elaborate de-
signs may be carried out. Then comes

of which is less than straw mating,
and less than oilcloth-in fact, an

Canine Labor in Belgium.

In this country the dog is, really, in
nine cases out of ten, the master of the
man. In Belgium, however, his status
is very different. One of the first
things that impress the stranger in
Brussels is the immense number OF dogs
employed in drawing barrows and small
carts about the streets. In the capital
alone over ten thousand dogs are SO en-
gagged, and the number of draught-dogs
in the whole country is probably not
less than fifty thousand. Generations
of servitude have made the Belgian dog
a race apart. For his size he is said to
possess the greatest pulling power Of
any animal, four times his own weight
being considered load well within his
powers. Taking his average weight as
half hundred weight, this means that
something like five thousand tons are
daily dragged about by canine labor in
Belgium

Many of the young people of
Athena we'll remember Miss Ada
Gerking, the subject of this sketch
who attended school in this city
two years ago. And among old
and young she had host offriends
who will read with sorrow and We
with pleasure the account of he
taking off-sorrow that one so young
should die-pleasure that she SO
willingly and hopefully passed
from earth's cares and troubles in
to the arms of her Savior whom she
loved and trusted. She was the
daughter of VIM. and Samantha
Gerking. Died of pneumonia
March 18th, 1896, at the age of 81
years. The funeral services were
conducted by Elder q. X. Taylor
who had baptised her about year
before her demise For an account
of her last days we are indebted to
Mrs. Barnes, wife of DR.. e. w.
Barnes, who attended her during her
sickness.
Realizing that her time had
come to 60, she called for the
family and said she wanted
to talk to them. The family
having gathered around her she said
am going to diel 1t is not hard
to die. ! might have lived a better
Christian life but | am not afraid
to die. Then bidding her mother
and father, sisters and brothers
good bye she said | want you all
to meet me in heaven. 1t will not
be long before we shall meet
again, Try and live SO that you
may meet me up there, and look
ing up she said, "the waters will
roll DER my head, but am not
afraid, | will pass safely overp, ,
Now serene expression spread
over her features and she again
spoke, saying Il see friends on the
other shore" She then began the
we'll known hymn, "Will the waters
be chilly" and then she requested
some one else to sing. Then we
sang two verses of 'Nearer my God
to thee" in which she family
joined. Then, she said, "thy will
be done" and in few moments
passed away with the words, GAIL
is bright" Thus departed one
friend and sister to the joys of the
heavenly world and may we all be
prepared to meet her there.
"Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are DER;
On the border land we left her
Soon TO meet and part no more."
''When we leave this world of change
When we leave this world of care,
Wewil find our missing loved one
In our Fathers mansion there.

One of the good features about an
English trial is the promptness with
which all proceedings begin. Precisely
at half past ten knock is heard at the
outer door. Instantly all hats come
off, the hum of conversation ceases and
every one rises. Then enters the judge
in white bag wig and scarlet cloak,
plentifully trimmed with ermine. He
is closely followed by three sheriffs,
who are in attendance for the day, and
the procession halts when the judge
has reached the bench. Over the head
sheriff's chair is placed large sword,
and it requires little imagination to
fancy that you are attending state
trial in the days of Queen Elizabeth,
rather than one in our material nine
teenth century. The judge then makes
q queer little bow, first to the jury,
then to the lawyers. The crier repeats
his usual formula. Everybody sits
down and the court is in session.

for Revolutionary Forebears.
my life is made miserable" said
librarian, plaintively, "by people who
are anxious to become members of the
Sons of the Revolution or the Daughters
of the Revolution. Only about one-half
of them succeed; but it takes long
time to prove to them that they can't
succeed. The craze started only few
years ago, with the organization of
these societies, and it is still on the in
crease.
"Most of the seekers of ancestors are
women. A great many of them, I be-
lieve, have never been in library be-
fore. They know nothing about how
to begin a search. They ply me with
questions All can do is to find out
in what state their ancestors lived dur
ing the revolution and then turn over
the sts.te documents to them. Then,
likely as not, they will ask me to help
them search, but draw the line at
that. Their disappointment when they
can't find single private in their favor
is something terrible. Sometimes they
get angry and say the books are wrong,
tn e library is wrong and everybody is
wrong. Again they find, to their hor-
r'or, that they had ancestors interested
in the revolution-ancestors who were
ardent tories"

THE FIRE BELL RANG.
And all EIlensburg Turned Out to
String up Father and Son.

string up Fatner ana Son'
ELLENsBURG, Aug 14.-At IL
o'clock last night the fire bell rang
and crowd was at the county Jail
inside of three minutes battering
at the steel cage. For an hour and
half the blows of hammers re-
sounded on the still night air, and
a 1:30 Sam Vinson and his son
Charles, the murderers of Sunday,
were led out by the mob with ropes
around their necks. The victims
were walked three blocks and
small silver poplar tree eight
inches in diameter chosen. Ropes
were thrown over the first limbs
and father and son hauled up by
many willing hands. Their feet
were not over foot from the
ground and the two men were
choked to death with their faces
within six inches of each other.
After the death of Dutch John
this afternoon an uneasy feeling be-
gan,to.m fest itself and as evening
came on it grew in intensity. At
$50, when the streets are usually
deserted, knots of men could be
seen all over town, and it was APP
parent that trouble was coming.
Sheriff Stinson was very active
and had extra deputies on duty at
the Jail. He had arrangements
made that the ringing of the fire
bell should be the signal that the
mob was under way. Promptly at
IL the bell rang and almost stimuli
taneously the guards were over
powered and the outer Jail doors
were soon passed. The steel cage
was stubborn but the mob was de-
termined.
After the wretches had been Sc
cured they assumed dogged sill
ence. The old man never spoke, but
Charles pulled back and struggled
some. Both were hustled along,
however, and several telegraph
poles were tried without suiting
the leaders. When near the fatal
tree young Vinson spoke his only
word, saving: II hate it on my
mothers account; you'll be sorry
for this" the last words he uttered
as the lightning rope choked off his
breath.
The father was strung up NOM
ent before the son and some one in
the crowd said as Charles was
swung up: 'Your pa is up there;
60 up and see him."
Both men were allowed to hang
for some time and the crowd slow
ly dispersed without firing any
shots into the bodies.
There were six other prisoners in
the Jail but none were molested and
nobody but the two murdercrs were
hurt during the proceedings.
[Charles Vincent and his father
entered the 1eutonic saloon at
Ellensburg, Wash, Sunday, and
picked a row with Mike Kohlopp,
one of the proprietors, during
which Kohlopp was fatally shot by
Chas. Vincent. John Bergman
went to the defense Of Kohlopp,
whenithe elder Vincent stabbed him
in the right breast, inflicting a
horrible wound.
