DR.. r. G. Flower of Boston will deliv-
err his new lecture, entitled "Health, Hap
piness and Beauty of Women" at Austin,
Texas. Millett's theatre, at half past two,
Saturday afternoon, May IS.
This lecture will be delivered under the
auspices of the Woman's Health associa-
ton of New England which has arranged
with DR.. Flower to deliver this lecture
free) to the women of 20 cities.
If you would know how to regain lost
health and preserve your health, if you
have it; if you would know how to get
the greatest amount OF happiness out of
both single and married life; if you would
know how to preserve your beauty and
youthful looks far into the evening of life,
then go and hear DR.. Flower.
DIR. Flowers friends claim that, as a
lecturer, he has no superior, if equal, upon
the American platform, and for wit, sar-
casm, pathos and beauty of speech he has
no equal

PRIZE FIGHTING KNOCKED OUT
Supremed Court of Louisiana Landed
Heavily on the Manly Art

New Orleans, May 6.-Today Asso-
ciate Justice McEnery, as the organ of the
supreme court, handed down a decision
in the case Of the State of Louisiana VS.
the Olympic club. This would have al,
lowed prize fighting as recently conducted
by the club to be continued. But today
the supreme court reversed the decision
and knocks out prize fighting in this city
Under this decision glove contests VIII
not be allowed.
The court, in reviewing the case, says
1--WE do not presume that the legislature
intended to defeat the enactment clause by
the proviso, but to modify or explain IT.
or to except something that otherwise
would fall with it. The tatute intended
to suppress prize fighting. Fighting in the
arena of this club as described in the
record is prize fighting and no other ex
PLANTATION can be given to it. 1t is pre-
ceded by the training, the challenge, the
attendance of seconds, of umpires and Of
surgeons, each of which is denied by thu
statute, and the fight is followed by al

THE GHOST OF A CHANCE

Is a very shadowy affair. Ere the chance
of recovery becomes vanishing ghost,
take most potent means of overcoming
the inactivity of the organs that termi-
mates in their too frequently fatal disease,
by resOrting to Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers, which gives just the requisite impulse
to the renal organs to promote their Wig
orous action without exciting them an eff
feet too often produced by the fiery and
unmedicated stimulants of commerce,
Bright's disease, diabetes and inactivity
of the bladder are foes of terrible menace
to the system. The inroads may, how
ever be stayed if they are met at the
start and combatted with the Bitters
This fine and genial corrective also rene
dies malaria, dyspepsia, rheumatism, de
bility, nervousness and the intirmities in
cident to age 1t hastens convalescence
and is promOtive of sleep and appetite.

by counsel, but it is abundantly supported
by the decisions of the ableSt courts in the
Union; and is opposed by but few.

Ga, 1857 Two of the cases cited to sus-
tain the position of the plaintiff are in
point. But they conflict directly with
the majority of the decisions ON the Ques-
| ton.
To represent means to stand in the place
of it: What does insurance money rep
resent to the holder of the policy? All
the rules of law governing the subject
conclusively show that the proceeds of the
policy stand, to the owner, in the place
of the thing insured.
81 Can the court limit the amount of
money derived from an insurance policy
upon the homestead that may be pro-
tected from the debts of the owner, to a
sum reasonably sufficient to build house
for the family to live in, and subject the
remainder to the payment of debts?
The case of Cameron VS.. Fay, cited
above, determines this question in the
negative. The exemption is not created
by the case cited as is asserted by coun-
sci. 1t is created by the constitution, the
meaning and intent of which the court, in
Cameron VS.. Fay, ascertained by fair con-
struction to include the proceeds of such
policies.
When court ascertains that the mean
ing and intent of a law embraces that
which is not expressed in the language,
this becomes a part of the law the same
as if it had been so written. az Tex,
401; 3 How, $50; 10 No.. 519)
The history of the homestead eXemp-
ton in this State shows that each and
every decision of the courts which placed
a limit or restriction upon the homestead
has been met with legislative enactments
under similar circumstances.
(2) If the property itself was exempted
from forced sale under the constitution,
is the insurance money derived therefrom
likewise exempted?
This question has also been decided in
favor Of the intervenors. Cameron VS..
Fay, % Tex, So. The case cited is
vigorously attacked and severely criticised
and constitutional provisions overruling
the decisions of the court, charging the
value of the exemption and placing in the
constitution safeguards against cOntin-
gencies of future judicial construction.
1t is said that the amount of the in
surance is large The amount invested
in the homestead was larger; and yet the
there be injustice in the matter it arises
out of the constitution. The people made
the constitution, and they alone have the
power to change it.
The judgment of the court of civil ap-
peals is reversed and that of the district
court is affirmed. Opinion by Brown, j..

orally understood and practiced, without
the prerequisites of challenge and train

known as prize fights and therefore the
proviso has no relation nor connection
with the offense described by the stat
ute.

DEATH BY SMALLPOX.

Mckinney, Tex, May 6.-(Special.) y
One death Friday and two more cases of
smallpox in the family Of Levy Ceilings
worth, living IS miles southwest of Nc
Kinney, has caused great uneasiness
among people here. Many parties have
been exposed. Prompt measures will be
taken to prevent spreading of the disease.

says: THE legislature contracted for a
lot of printing and because the type used
was smaller than specified, thus making a
saving to the State, the brilliant solons re-
fused to pay"
The Legislature did not make the CON
tract, but it did accept of the smaller type
ard the work which was better than
called for. 1t was Governor CulberSon

bodies have accomplished so little in so

SILVERY BRAIN THROBS.
What Able Texas Editors Think of Free
Silver Coinage.

The Fort Worth Gazette is free silver
organ and produces terse and telling ar
guments in favor of the unlimited coin
age of the white metal. One of its very
best is the following:
'If we are to have a genuinely sound
money, why not adopt diamonds! No
danger of overprOductiOn and debase-
ment there. A diamond currency, say
We"
The sound money fellows should now
surrender and take to the brush.
The Hopkins county Echo, Il large, well
edited paper, says:
"The Pops have less use for free silver
than any other party in the country.
They are for it only as a bait to decoy
Democratic voters into their camps.
They are for unredeemable paper money
and the subtreasury system.
The Mexia ledger abouts hits the
mark when it says:
Gas time rolls on the crowd favoring
the use of both gold and silver as money
increases in number and when it comes to
| q show down the free silver advocates will
not be in it.
The Cleburne Chronicle is satisfied the
silver fight is on and that "the Old-time
greenbacker and the 16 to l silver advO-
cate will join forces and jump on those
who oppose them and favor sound cur
rency." The Chronicle opposes the free
silver advocates. by the, way, the
| Chronicle got out superb business edl-
| ton last week that was credit to Ole
burne.
The Houston Herald raises an alarm
as follows:
"There can he no room to doubt that
the free silver "heelers" are now fixing"
the delegates to be elected in the pre-
cincts of every county in the State, where
| it is possible to do such thing, and if
they are not headed off the delegates to
be chosen will he almost solid for free
silver. What are the good money Dem
ocrats doing in this respect? Why, of
course, nothing, as usual"
The Tyler Reporter says:
"The people of this country got along
| for many years very well using both
gold and silver as money-in fact, many
years before some of the smart and windy
politicians Of today were born"
It's the smart and windy politicians
| that are causing all the trouble now.
With them out of the way. the. people
would "get along we'll now" using both
gold and silver"
The Victoria Advocate sees trouble
ahead for the Texas Democracy. II
says:
"a State convention of Democrats
favoring the free coinage of silver al
\ the ratio of 16 to /, is to be called soon
Such a move will cause breach in the
Democratic party of Texas, compared
with which the Hogg and Clark split
was merely rift. The issue will be
between doubtful theory, and the bust
ness experience of the financial world"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-05-09

The Victoria Advocate says:
'The Twenty-fourth was a body of men
far superior in patriotism and intelligence
to any of its predecessors. There can be
no doubt of this statement. One of the
Legislators said so himself recently"

THE LATE LAMENTED.
What Texas Editors Think About the
Twenty-fourth Legislature.
Texas Farm and Ranch saws:

,.
"a large majority of the legislators
were honest men, who wanted to do right,
and would have done so had they known
how. There was an evidentJack of states
manship to comprehend and courage to
do the right thing in the right way at the
right time"
The Graham Leader estimates the legis-
lature was a farce, the principal business
of the members being drawing their per
diem for the time present and absent
without leave.
The Paris Advocate says:
Viewed as thing of the past, the work
of the legislature might have been worse;
let us be thankful that it was not"
A negro correspondent of the Austin
Herald sized up the late legislature in
these words:
sit does appear as though God had de-
prived Democrats of all knowledge of
legislative conception, and in the main
they are inharmonious; they agree on
nothing, and disagree on everything"
The Temple Times thinks there is
room for improvement in legislative ma
terial. 1t says:
"The Twenty legislature is a
thing of the past, but OH such thing as
! it was! A thousand bills were considered
and al of them became laws. Congress
was outdOne in one thing at least, in
amount of worthless work done. As long
as the people insist on quantity, and moi
on quality, our representation will be nc
better. No man ought to be selected as Q
representative who is unable to read and
write. 1t will pay to make this change.
