A GRAND BOULEVARD.

Proposition to Construct Lofty Drive
Along the Lake Front.
A strong representation of our citizens
including among others Judge Fillmore,
Thad Thomson, Jeff Johnson, Ed Han
cock. Louis Hancock, John o. Johnson,
J. M. Boroughs, ]. II. Raymond, Jr., II.
B. Beck, H. M. Little, l.. @. Ryan and V.
A. Fenner were before the commissioners
court yesterday morning urging the
long delayed construction of the road
up the river to replace the one overlooked
when the water was raised above the dam.
1t is proposed to run the road along the
mountains from Mount Bonnell to Bull
creek and when completed will not only
do Justice to q community long deprived
of q road which they had built mainly at
their own expense, but will be one of the
loyeliest drives in the state or any state,
ing new vista at every turn. The men
behind this effort are thoroughly alive to
its value to the public, and are pushing
it not for private ends, but as u matter
of public spirit. 1t may be added that
when done, the road through the ray
lor property connecting with it will be
thrown open by Mr.. r. J. Hill, and by
n short link through the Walsh property
the city would have drive for ten miles
up the lake that they may be proud 10
show to any tourist. The court decided
to 90 out today and inspect the proposed
road. 1t is claimed that it will take only
about IL miles of construction by the
county to open through to the new Bull
creek road.

Of victories, a glorious victory over death.
Mrs. Miller was a native of Virginia,
and married her now heart-broken life
compauion SO years ago. She came with
hir, and her children to Austin from
baltimore, Maryland, ten years ago and
has since resided here. She was superb
woman. Endowed with quick and ready
mind she received in early life splendid
, adncotion in every branch of polite and
nure culture. Not only this, but as
wears added experience and
fhe cares of motherhood, her
nature, sweet and winning in youth, took

aapped too deeply by the fatal malady,
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-02-21

and just as it was hoped she was
slowly blooming into life again, just as
it was thought the smile of contentment
at relief from pain was as the light be-
fore the dawning into renewed health and
strength, those watching so solicitously
at her side saw that her eyes were fixed
on the shore across the river, that it was
the light before the dawning, but the
dawning of that endless and beautiful day
of eternity. Thus she fell asleep in Jesus.
Hers was a noble life, full of solicitude
and care alone for others. A devoted
wife, a doting mother, true friend, a
womanly woman, she has her reward.
All that of her was mortal will be laid
away at rest tomorrow afternoon.

YOUTHFUL BURGLARS
Arrested This Morning at 2 O'clock fo
Robbing Store.

This morning at O'clock as a States
man reporter was sauntering down the
Avenue he met Officers Gibson and Griz-
card at the corner of Sixth street and the
Avenue, having in charge two very
tough and dirty looking youngsters, about
7 and 8 years of age, respectively. In
quiry developed that the boys names were
Frank Allott and Jim Best, and that they
were wanted for robbery. During the
early hours of last evening these two
boys visited the grocery store of man
named McKabe at the corner of Twenty
fourth and Guadalupe streets. The store
was open and the occupants were at the
rear when the boy, Allott, leaving Best
on watch, pulled off his shoes, sneaked
into the store and stole all the money
that was in the cash drawer, some five or
six dollars in small change. They i'm
mediately came down town and proceeded
to blow in their ill gotten gains. They
bought chewing gum and candy reckless
ly and were in fair way to make s.
lively night of it when scooped in by the
officers. They were caught down in the
jungles of the First ward, and when cap
tured only had about 60 cents of the
money left. The youngsters seemed to
be unconcerned about the matter and
laughing, conversed with the officers as
they were marched to the station and
locked up.

THE KEYSTONE on THntApo1

THE KEYSTONE OF THE ARCH.
In the edifice of health is vigor, which
means not merely muscular energy. but
an active discharge of the various func-
tons of the body, such as digestion, Sc
cretlon OF the bile, the action OF the bow
els, the circulation of the blood. Nothin,
more actively and thoroughly contributes
to the united performance of these func-
tons than the renowned tonic and regula-
tor, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The re-
suit of its use is speedy gain in strength,
together with the agreeable consciousness
that the tenure of life is being strength
ened-that one is laying up store of
vitality against the unavoidable draughts
which old age make upon the system.
The fortifying influence of the Bitters
'onstitute it n reliable safeguard against
malaria, rheumatism and kidney trouble.
Appetite and sleep improve through its
use, and it protects the system from the
effects of cold and damp

go. A temporary injunction was grant
d more than n year ago. Today the
notion to dissolve was presented and sus-
aimed on two grounds; first, because

nut notice to the city; second, because
he bondholders were not made parties to
he suit. Hon. Geo. CLARK of Waco, and
Jol. Geo. Pendexter of Austin, represent
d the city Of Austin. Maj. Faux was
'ounsel for the plaintiff but could not be
resent. Judge Teichmuller granted the

Bill Drafted In Washington by Those VIII.
Sympathize With Them.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-A bill recog-
nizing the Belligerancy of the Cuban
revolutionists has been prepared in
this city and will be introduced in con-
gress when that body convenes in De-
cember next. It was drafted at the
suggestion of certain representatives
and senators who are in sympathy with
the efforts of the Cubans to throw off
the yoke of Spain and these gentlemen
will use their influence to pass it
through both houses. Such action on
the part of the United States would of
course be Of great service to the revo-
lutionists. 1t would result in the free
shipment of arms and men to the is
land in support of the insurgents cause
and would give them the moral and
material support which they SO greatly
desire.
Spanish officials say that but for the
hope that the United States may recog
nize Cuban belligerancy, the revolu-
ton would collapse within thirty days.
Mr.. Marti, in pursuance to the pro-
gramme already outlined, will be elect.
ed president of the Cuban provisional
government, which it is proposed to
establish at an early day.
