The coming base ball season promises
to be a particularly good one in Texas
All the cities to be represented in the
Texas Southern League are displaying
great activity in getting in readiness for
the season. Every club has selected a
manager and they are now procuring play
ers. The teams will all be complete by
April !, and will go into active training

FRED DOUGLASS STORY.

How He Used to Tell tho Tslo of His
Rise In Life.
A dozen years ago Mr.. Douglass went
back to Talbot county, Nd, where he
was born slave, TO buy some of the
property which in the old days he was
forbidden by law to own, because ma
ture had colored his skin brown, and
white men had, by their superior
strength, been able to buy and sell his
ancestors. While there he was invited
to address a colored school, and this
was what he said, says Kate Field S
Washington:
II once knew little colored boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old. He was slave
and had no one to care for him. He
slept on a dirt floor in howell, and in
cold weather would crawl into meal
bag head foremost and leave his feet
in the ashes TO keep them warm. Often
he would roast an ear OF corn and eat it
to satisfy his hunger, and many times
has he crawled under the barn or stable
and Secured eggs, which he would roast
in the fire and eat.
THAT boy did not wear pants like
you do, but tow linen shirt. Schools
were unknown TO him. and he learned
to spell from an old Webster's spelling
book and TO read and write from post
ers on cellar and barn doors, while boys
and men would help him. He would
then preach and speak, and soon be-
came well known. He became presi-
Dental elector, United States marshal,
United States recorder, United States
diplomat and accumulated some
wealth. He wore broadcloth and didn't
have to divide crumbs with the dogs
under the table. That boy was Freder-
ick Douglass
What was possible for me is posi-
BILE for you. Don't think because you
are colored you can't accomplish any
thing. Strive earnestly TO add to your
knowledge. So long as you remain in
ignorance SO long will you fail to COM
mand the respect of your fellow men. "

FATE FORETOLD BY MOLES.
Latest Wrinkle Of the Fortune Teilers-
Have Prepared Diagrams.

L0teot WrlukIo OI the Fortune
Have Prepared Diagrama
Gotham is just now overrun with
these parasites, says a New York pa,
per. The nonsense of fortune-telling
is one in which not only the ignorant
indulge, but the daughters of wealth
and education are addicted TO IL. A
surreptitious visit To fortune teller is
one of the common escapades of society
matrons and maids, and anything new
in that line is bound to recompense its
operator. New York astrologer has
set up a curious variation of his bust
ness of humbug, and his speciality is
the telling of fortunes by means of
moles. He pretends to be able to read
character and make prophecies by
means of these blemishes of skin. 1t
would bother other than an ingenious
man to put this method into practical
use, but the difficulties are surmounted
by the professor" in question. He has
printed on cards four outlines of the
female human figure - showing the
form from each point of the compass,
so TO speak. His clients on their first
visit are provided with a set of these
cards, which they must take home and
mark just in the right spot with the
moles they happen to bear. They then
return to the fortune teller and he
reads their attributes and destiny from
the diagrams thus filed out. A mole
ON the shoulder means one thing, one
on the side has a totally different in
terpretation, and so on through vast
number. of locations and combinations.
The fellow has adapted himself to his
particular humbug by growing ire
mendous beard, which makes him look
like wise man Of the east, and he
wears an oriental robe, which in
creases his impressiveness. His gravity
is perfect; he talks like an educated
man, and he is doing an immensely
lucrative business, his price is tive dol
lars and his customers so many that
usually one has to wait in the ante
room an hour or so for an audience.

LAREDO, Tex, Sept. 1.--Information
regarding the fearful storm of Friday,
raging from Corpus Christi, Tex, and
across the border several hundred niles
into Mexico, is very meager. Late tonight
scarcely anything definite Can be learned.
Enough is known, however, TO state that
the storm is the worst in the history of
Northern Mexico.
First reports were to the effect that
railroads and telegraph wires would be
in working order by Saturday, but indi-
cations tonight show that wires to the city
of Mexico over the Mexican National rail-
way for several days will be down.
In many places the Mexican National
roadbed is washed out for several hun
dred yards. AT one point 300 yards of the
track wasswashed into small river and
twisted into all sorts of shapes. 1t is re-
ported that one passenger train is
stranded near Salome Botoleo, small
mining camp about 100 miles from La
redo, the EN- bankment being washed out
at the head and the rear end of the train.
There are no reports of loss of lite or
homes. The Mexican government wires
are equally a, badly damaged. but com.

THE DEFENDERS NEW MAST
Accidentally Found to Have Chafed
in the TenOn
Had the Yacht Gone to Sea With the Stick
as 1t Was She Would Havs
Been Lost

NEW YORK, Sept. LA morning
paper will say that tonight the machin-
lists at work IN the hold of the Defender
on the dry dock at Erie basin discovered
an accident TO her mast that Will necsssi-
tate it being unstepped and reset in a
new mortise or wedged in the iron.
The discovery was fortunate one,
says the paper, for had the Defender left
the dry dock and gone to sea with her
mast in the condition in which the acci-
dent had placed it, she would have gone
to the bottom in the first puff of wind
that struck her sails.
The new mast, which was put in at
Bristol r. l., in the Herreshoff yards, is
stepped in a mortice and braced to the
hull with stout angle iron braces, four in
number. So great has been the strain on
the Ienon of the mast that it and the
mortice have been chafed and the big stick
wabbled about witch q half foot of space
about its base.
1t has lurched from one side to the
other until it has dragged the stout iron
braces attached to the hull almost from
their fastenings and last night, when the
damage was first discovered. they were
holding to the hull by mere thread.
Machin1sts were put to work immedi-
ately to repair the damages and fix new
braces of sangled irons to be substituted
for the strained braces. In order to reset
the mast it will have to be lifted out from
the morticed portions by derrick.

LONDON, Sept. Ia Standard dis
patch from Berlin describing the dedioa-
tion of the memorial church says:
One side of the entrance was fanked
with veterans and the other side with
school children. The deputations of all
the regiments of which William l. was
colonel were present. After Emperor
William had greeted Herr Blumenthal
and others. Architect Schwetchten made
a short speech and presented the keys.
While the assem- bly, was entering the
church the band payed The Heavens Are
Telling and the Halleluiah hymn. On
leaving the procession stopped in front
of the church and all joined IN singing
with grand and thrilling effect, Elm
Feste Burgist Unser Gott.
The Daily News Berlin correspondent
says:
The empress looked very we'll and her
appearance was sufficient contradiction
of the unfavorable rumors regarding her
nealrh.
One of the most impressive moments of
the ceremony was when the imperial
couple were leaving the church. While
standing on the topmost step the crowds
outside burst into the strain of Die
Wacht am Rhhein. The well-known
strains were caught up by thousands who
lined the adjacent streets and even the
deep booming of the bells was pvwerless
against the volume of SOUND. Their
najesties were visibly moved and re-
mained standing until the last verse was
sing.
Tonight by the emperor's orders the
ballet militaire, which was given when
the old emperor returned a victor from
