GENTLEIzAAK WOULD oRN
The Horrible Stroke of Fortune Which Be-
 fell Some Anglers,

Several Memphis and Charleston rail- road boys ordered a bucket of fine min nows from Huntsville last Saturday to be placed in the tank of the engine of the early passenger train and put off here, says the Tuscumbia North Ala bamian. They had trip planned to catch a fine lot of bass at Cypress creek, and one of the party sat up until 2 o'clock a. m. waiting for the train. When the train came in he had the bucket transferred to the tank of the Florence engine. which carried it to the bridge, where the party took it off and lugged it to Cypress. When they arrived there the bucket was opened and not a minnow did they find. The atmosphere up and down the creek was deep blue for several minutes from the "cussing" indulged in by the fishermen. They swore vengeance, but didn't know on whom to wreak it. They couldn't tell whether the dealer at Huntsville had failed to put the minnows in the bucket or whether they had escaped in the en- zine tank. There days sport was there- fore a failure.

This Has q Weird Rinr.

Some parties hunting ravens nests in the heights and precipices near the home of Monroe Evans have recently found parts of a human skeleton down upon the frst balcony from the heights above, says the Peoples Protest of Cullrnan. The skull was under one and a thigh bone under another rock as if they had been con cealed there. There is no clue to the mysterious find, except few years ago a peddier had suddenly disappeared from the neighborhood, having engagements thrilled and his business in an unsettled state.

Porosity of Glass.

Some interesting experiments
have been recently made which
show that glass is more porous
than has been before thought. A
vessel was partitioned into two
parts by light sheet of glass, and
on one side tho vessel was filled
with sodium amalgam, and on the
other with pure mercury. The
whole was heated to temperature
Of 200 deg, whore glass begins to
be very fully conductive. The two
sides were then connected with the
positive and negative wires OF a
battery, and current Of electricti-
ty passed through for about
thirty hours. At the end of this
time it was found that quite con-
siderable sodium had found its way
through the glass into the mer-
curry on the other side. Neither
the original weight Of the glass nor
its transparency were in any way
changed.

BeXar County bonds sell for ST.
100; a premium and accrued in
terest. San Antonio sewer bonds
are hawked around at par and
accrued interest, the minimum
price fixed by law.
What's the matter? BeXar coun-
ty is ruled by a terrible political
clique; San Antonio by business
men ignorant of political tricks.
The county raises money to build
bridges over dry creeks and high
railing for series, and investors are
glad to pay premium to get its
bonds, while the city pays about
5000 expressage to ship its bonds
from New York to Chicago, and
thence all over the country.
City bonds float around and
finally bring only par and accrued
interest, the very lowest price they
can sell for.
Is the old town bankrupt? God
forbid. Then what's the matter?
Something must be done and that
very quickly.
A political campaign is like a
circus. Both strike a town with
plenty of noise, chin music galore,
and both expect the people to pay
for being entertained; the good
people always do so.
A circus advertises two headed
monstrosities Chinese jugglers,
and world renowned clowns; a
political campaign starts with
double lined promises, political
jugglers to make combinations,
and some locally renowned "good
man. on a ticket to amuse the
people.
The circus leaves town with the
peoples money the political cam.
paign winds up, and the men elect
ed to office are after the peoples
money--and get it.
Human nature is the same the
world over-beware of the candi-
date who promises too much.
What's the matter with Hindry?
He's all right. He wrote "the let
ter that never came"
The mayor admits that one of
the sewer inspectors is not voter.
Why should he be, if he is the on.
ly competent inspector we can
get?
San Antonio evidently has no
citizen capable Of inspecting sewer
material.
Some one once suggested that
we import a fire chief from New
York. Keno. Lets import a mayor
from Seguin, another congressman

Threatens American Interests.
OUT COLLECTING.
England Will Now Mako Descent O
Honduras.

England Will Now Mako "a Descent on
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Great Brit
min has decided to send her bad debt
collecting squadron to Honduras. 1t is
said she has SO notified the financial
representatives of that country. The
notification goes OH to state that Great
Britain will take possession Of certain
ports in Honduras and collect the rev.
enues until the amount of her indebted
ness to the English bondholders is
iquidated. Nearly 20 years ago Hon.
duras defaulted Oh bonds placed in Eng
land, and the interest has since been
accommodating until, at the present
time, between $4,000, 900 and SO, 900, 900
is due.
This information, which was received
here through a private source in Lon.
don, has caused something of a sensa-
ton among the few who know it. The
collection of such large debt from
Honduras, people familiar with affairs
in that country, state is impossible,
and it the British act in accordance
with the threat, which is said OH high
authority to have been made, it will
amount, as in Egypt, to a perpetual
occupation of that nation
