Association of New York vs. M. j. Ash.
worth, which is one OF much Importance
to the State at large and to many per-
SONS individually. The case involved
the collection of interest on a debt owed
the association by Mrs. Ashworth, who
claimed that usurious rates were
charged. Judge Shelley, of the circuit
court OF Washington county, before
whom 1t was first tried in May last, de-
cided In her favor. The attorneys for
the Building and Loan Association
then took the case to the appellate
court, where, on the 18th inst, Judge
Buchanan, OF that tribunal, rendered
an opinion reversing the decision of the
court below.
While some OF the points decided
were applicable only to this particular
ase, the opinion Of the court as to the

OUGHT NOT TO BE ALLOWED.

The proposition to hsve bull fights at
the Atlanta Exposition is meeting with
much opposition. Americana do not
all object to prize fights, which are
often brutal exhibitions OF strength and
endurance, but, as class, they are
opposed to suoh dangerous and cruel
amusements as bull fights. In fstic
exhibition, while the combatants are
generally badly bruised and battered,
death Is the exception rather than the
rule, while the Spanish and Mexican
pastime nearly always ends in tn %
death Of the bull. and often in the loss
Of one or more human lives.
The Mexicans are ridiculing Ameri-
cans for protesting against the pro-
posed Atlanta exhibitions, and use our
national weakness for the "manly art"
as an argument to demonstrate the in
consistency Of the people of this coun-
try. They do not seem to know of the
rigid laws in most of the States of the
Union against prize fighting, and what
q hard time national celebrities like
Sullivan and Corbett have in occurring a
suitable place for fight.
1t Is said that preparations are max
ing in the City Of Mexico to send some
OF the best fighting bulls In the South.
ern republic to Atlanta, where first class
performances are TO be given. but it ia
to be hoped that the managers Of the
Exposition, II they ever entertained
such an idea, will change their minds
aud postpone 1t indefinitely. William
Hosea Ballou, vice-president OF the
American Humane Association, declares
that he will stop the proposed bull
fights at Atlanta, and It Is earnestly
hoped for the credit OF the country tina,
ne will succeed in bis self imposed
task.

Hampstead. Texas, September lS--If
American or European citizens were
treated IN China as two Cinnamon have
been treated in this city several thousand
dollars worth OF cable expenses would
be charged up TO enterprlslng newspapers

Joe Jim, a Chlnaman entirely inofensive
and harmless. about two weeks ago
opened restaurant IN the Schwarz
building. He employed a Chinese brother
as cook. and they were about well started
whom few nights ago Joe Jim was fired
at while standing in the backyard. while
the front was bombarded by some I'M
known parties with rocks. breaking his
showcases Last night nine shots weIe
heard in rapid succession. some arad by
people in tho dark and come by one OF
the Cinnamon. who claims that he shot
TO defend himself; no one was hurt from
the bullets but the Chinaman was allowed
10 empty his pistol, when negro and
white man took hold Of him and nearly
beat him to death.
The people generally condemn tho ac-
lions of those who seem bent on running
the Chinese out Of town.

M9Gregor, Texas. September T,-You
are requested to give notice to the public
that the banks OF Texas. members OF the
Texas Bankers association, are now pre-
pared 20 furnish reciprocal drafts to take
the place OF money orders IN making re-
mittances OF money. Tho expense Is no
greater, and is In some amounts less than
money orders. The drafts can be cashed
at any one OF about 1875 cities in the State,
as the holder may choose. and they will
be cashed without discount. They are
better than postoffice money orders that
are payable at only one place and allow
but one Endorsement and better than ex-
press money orders. because you never
have to wait for your money. Merchants
and others who make remittarces will
appreciate the value Of this addition to
business facilities and travelling men VIII
find them n great convenience.
Ask TO see them at the counter Of any
bank IN Texas. a large majority of which
are members OF this association. and the
others we expect Will be on or before
january /. 1896. Respectfully,
Charles +. Smith,
IL Secretary.
