"Mashing" Unknown in Texas.

THE art of MASKING" remarked an
old, weather beaten Texan, as he slow
ly tilted his chair on the polished flags
of the Southern Hotel rotunda, lis an
requirement of the effete East and the
masher is an evolved product of the
conditions of that country. In the
virile Southwest the genus is an I'M
known quantity. The air of Texas is
too braclng for it to develop the species.
Equal parts of egotism and lack of re-
spect for women are required that is,
to produce the masher pure and SIM
pie. Now, those who live on the great
plains may have a fairly good opinion
Of themselves, but they have still
better opinion OF the other sex. and
would go to any extreme to resent an
insult offered to the homeliest woman
on earth. This feeling pervades all
classes Of men. and consequently one
will see camp full of cowboys smoth-
er rough oaths and converse like Sun
day-school children if there be petit
coat in the neighbood. In the towns
is seen no ogling of and staring at wo-
men. as is the case in St. Louis where
to stare lady out of countenance APP
pears to be a favorite pastime with the
well-dressed youths about town.

cities in Armenia, have traversed de-
vastated villages and arrived at Jelly
goosan, where 120 houses were found
to have been burned The people are
sheltered in miserable huts Ample
proof is found of the stories regarding
the massacre. Bodies were thrown
into a pit. The Turks tried to conceal
the crime by pouring barrels of
petroleum upon the bodies and setting
fire to the oil. As a result of the in
vestigation and the reports of delegates
OF powers, the powers have submitted
notes to the Turkish government I'M
pressing upon il the necessity of
promptly inaugurating scheme for
Armenian reforms which should in
clude the appointment of Christian
officials in Armenia, the powers to have
the right to vote on the appointment

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 15.-Jacl
Smith, the famous leader of the Bull
Hill miners, was shot and mortally
wounded by Marshal Jack Kelly, of
Altman. The marshal also shot George
Popst, miner who was with Smith.
The shooting caused reign of terror
in the great gold camp. The miners
threaten to avenge the death of their
late war captain, and all saloons have
been closed in Victor and Altman.
Martial law has practically been
declared. Acts of violence are ex-
pected at any moment. Jack Smith
shot out all of the lights in Dan Foley's
saloon in Victor. Later he was
arrested and placed under bonds. AS
soon as he was released he went to
Altman, the miners camp, and pro-
ceeded to terrorize the habitants.
Marshal Kelly ordered him out of
town. Smith opened fire and Popst
stood by him. Kelly returned the fire
and shot down both men, escaping
injury himself The widest excite
ment prevails. Every weapon to be
found is being confiscated by the
authorities.

The question of arms is live one in
Europe, where fighting may be expect
ed any time; but we, the very warlike
and extremely unmilitary sovereign
people of the United States, can afford
to view it with indifference. We know
that we have millions OF fighting men
ready to spring 20 arms at their coun-
try's call. The arms they would spring
to may not be OF the best, but the men
are splendid. We have Springfield Ri
lies for few thousand Of the millions
and have. provided by the law of the
land, in force in the year of grace.

have good musket or firelock, two
spare flints, a sufficient bayonet," and
other warlike gear, except in the case
OF officers, each of whom must have "a
spontoon and sword or hanger as
he may elect. Our criterion of militia
ry excellence is very different from
that OF Europe. There it is the capa-
blllty of men to get into position to
shoot and to shoot straight and quick;
here 1t is the pl.ettiness with which sol
dlers, under police escort, can march
up the main street of IL great town.
We consider it the part of wisdom to
prep re for more peace in time Of
peace, but should a foreign foe sudden

would thrill at the spectacle presented
by our armies springing to their arms

Those lofty pinnacles that reach
So near to heaven that star
Burns like taper bright in each.
There, changeless all the seasons throus i.
That green cathedral lifts its spires,
The first to catch the morning dew
The last to hold the sunset fires
Within its aisles no sound is heard
While Summers service decks the nave:

Sings from the emerald architrave.
But when, wrapt in her shrowd of snow,
Beneath the roof lies earth asleep,
A mournful music measured, slow,
Wakes in the summit of yon steep.

The heart to ponder thoughts divine;

Stretched on the forest harp Of pine!

The Free Silver Democrats to Run Things

CHICAGO, May 16.--It is learned from
an authorative source that the leaders
in the free coinage movement within
the democratic party of Illinois, who
possess the machinery in the state and
Cook county, intend to read out of the
party every man who does not SUBJ
scribe to the doctrine of the free coin
age of silver. The plan is to be put
into effect as soon as the state COP
vention at Springfield has adopted a
free silver platform and free silver will
be made one of the cardinal principles
of the party. The state and Cook
county central committees are to be
reroganized on these lines. This will
be done to give the silver democrats
exclusive control of the organization
which will dictate at primaries and
conventions in county, city and state.
1t is also proposed by this means to
make sure of sending solid free silver
delegation to the next national con-
vention. The members of the Honest
