TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

Yesterday Hon. Thos, Hardison
delivered one Of his lectures at the
Y. M, G. A. hall to a fair sized au-
dience, His pictures Of wretched-
ness caused by strong drink, was
truly narrowing and should cause
all to shun the wine glass as they
would the deadly upas tree, BE
named many instances, where men
beggered their families and then
sold the feathers from under them,
that they might get drink. We do
not think he oyerdraws his pictures,
as we heard some say, but hardly
puts them strong enough. He COM
plimented his audiences here, by
saying that he had not faced a more
refined and intelligent looking au-
diences in all of his rounds and he
was bound to think that where so
so much refinement and culture en-
tered into a compact to down whis-
key but what they would be success
full He advised them to keep up
their society and not let a wakeful
moment rest in the fight, He leaves
here for Texas points and will take
in all towns in Bowie county, He
will lecture tonight at New Boston.

PRENTIss AND GRADY,
Hon. n. Minor Wallace Delivers Q
Lecture at the Y, M, @. A Rooms,

Hon. II. Minor Wallace delivered
his lecture on "Prentiss and Grady
last evening at the Y, M, G, A,
hall, to a cultured audience, com
prised of ladies and gentlemen
Those who went to hear the dis
tinguished lecturer anticipated a
literary treat and we're confident of
being instructed as well as enter

ed, unless II was a pleasurable
disappointment, as many who ex-
pected to hear an ordinary lecture
expressed themselves when the
speaker had concluded his eloquent
remarks.
Plutarch never had two better
subjects from which to draw a
parallel than those which Minor
Wallace selected last night for his
theme, nor employed, better Ian

Mr., Wallace demonstrated last

OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS.

The TExAEKANIAN learns that a
movement in the West end to ham
per the officers by enjoining the
commissioners from buying records
for the new court and making 9th
er arrangements to put the court
in possession of necessary station
cry to do business. This will be
wrong, and should the commission
ers vote against the allowance the
dockets will be bought and the
county sued for the amount that
they are charged for,
We also learn that one Of the
many constitutional lawyers who
live in the West end has stated that
he would try the constitutionality
of the bill Just passed, and for his
benefit we will quote the title of
our branch court bill as it passed,
and then quote the constitution
bearing on the same, The bill, or
title of the bill, reads;
"An act entitled, AN act to es-
tablish a court at Texarkana, in
Bowie county, to be styled "Texar-
kama Civil and Criminal Court, and
to prescribe the jurisdiction and or
ganizatiod thereof; and to conform
the jurisdiction of other courts
thereto. I"
Now, the constitution bearing on
this point says Article 5, Sec
tion !, Of the constitution of the
State of Texas, provides that the
judicial power of the state shall be
vested in one supreme court and
certain other courts, (naming them
as may be provided by law, The
same article and section PROVIDES
that the legislature may establish
sucq other courts as it may deem
necessary, and to prescribe the
jurisdiction and organization there
of, and may conform the jurisdic-
tion of the district and other in
ferior courts thereto.
If the commissioners and the con-
stitutional lawyer can see any
CLEAN of sunshine for them in fight
ing, or in trying to cripple the court
by their vote in making appropria-
tions to carry on the same they can

in The wrong and fighting for some
thing that they are powerless to

GERMANY STARTS THE BALL,
Resolution for an International None.
tary Conference Passes the
Reichstag

Berlin, February 16-The Reich
stay today adopted by an over,
whelming majority a resolution
favoring and international none
tary conference, in accordance with
the views expressed by Count Won
Mirbach.
The matter is of such great inn
portance to the United States at
the present juncture that yester-
days United Press cables on the
subject should be summarized so
far as they refer to the debate in
the Reichstag,
Friday afternoon Count Won Mir
bach, German Conservative, intro
duced a resolution in the Reich,
stag (now adopted intsructing the
Federal Governments of Germany
to issue invitations for an interna-
tional monetary Congress to take
measures to bring about the re-
habilitation of silver as a circulat-
ing medium.
Mirbach said the moment had
now arrived for Germany to take
the initiative in settling this ques.
ton, which is one Of the greatest
Importance It was one of life or
death for husbandry, as well as for
the export industry Bimetallism
would cause the rise of all prices in
England, where gold was the cur
rency. Agriculture would be ruin
ed if the present system was main
tanned. America would either alb
soro Germany's gold or adopt a
pure silver standard, and capture
the whole Eastern trade.
Other supporters Of the resolu-
tion said that they indorsed the po-
sition that Germany had taken at
the Paris monetary conference in
1883, namely that she regarded an
international agreement upon a ra-
ito between gold and silver desira-
bic.
DR., Theodore Barth, German
Radical Unionist, said the Brussels
had proved a fasco, and
the conference held in Germany,
in 1893 was fruitless, There was
little or no connection between the
depression in husbandry and the in-
of the gold standard,
Count Herbert Bismarck said the
failure Of the Brussels conference
was partly due to the absence Of an
iutente between the Powers which
took part in it, The Berlin Com
gress Of 1873 arrived at result,
because Great Britain and Russia
had previously reached a basis for
an agreement. An international
entente upon the currency question
would be arrived at in the course
Of time, and Is the case Of Great
Britain the feeling was growing in
favor Of bl-metalism, In conclusion
Count Herbert said
ut gives me great pleasure to
show how warmly my friend Balfour
has taken up the cause in that
Herr Schoenlank, social Demo
crat, contended that the introduc-
ton Of bi-metallism would lead to
fall in the value Of currency and
would promise nothing but a hope
less future to the working man.

said the Centrists willingly support
ed the measure, because they saw

A well known French scientific
writer, Nj. Henri de Parville. has
written some notes on the prevention
and cure Of colds. He points out that
ms soon as there is the slightest symp-
tom OF a cold the sufferer should rinse
the mouth frequently with some anti
septic fluid, such as solution of car.
bolic acid, and should inhale through
the nose the smell of this fluid. This
treatment serves to keep off the germs
which are likely to cause n cold.
If you catch cold through getting
your feet wet. in addition to the treat
ment of the mouth and nose Ly disin-
fectants, plunge the feet in cold water.
Usually, he says, people have the
water as hot as they can bear it, bat
that is mistake. 1t is likely to make
the cold worse. When our feet have
become chilled by the wet, obviously
the first thing to be done is to make
the blood circulate properly in them.
Now, warm water certainly brings
the blood back to the chilled feet
while they are in the hot water. but
as soon as they are taken out and the
temperature becomes much lower. the
blood again leaves the feet and returns
to the inner organs, which are warm.
er, with the result that the cold often
becomes worse.
Tho feet should be plunged into
cold water, even into snow. for the
space of forty 10 fifty seconds, not
more. This sen Is tho blood hyin {
into the tuner organs, where the tenn
perature is very high, and, "a con.
sequence, it gradually goes back to
the feet and stops there The circu.
lation being thus restored, n little encr.
getic rubbing OF the feet will main.
