More than one year ago, Mr.. Ed

the while, in hopes of finding 1t. A

who readily identified ii, and the
boy was taken to jail, charged
with having stolen it.

Cotton Seriously injured !.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, Aug. 3D.
Special IA committee of business
men of this city, sent out under
the auspices OF the board Of trade,
have just returned, after being out
three days inspecting the condi-
ton of the cotton crop tributary to
this place, and they report that the
yield will be one-fourth bale per
acre, IL not less. The worms and
rust in some sections are injuring
the cotton very much.

DALLAS LETTER,
From Our Own Special Correspondent
DALLAS. Tex, Aug. 80, 1895.

From Our Own Special spondeht.l
DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 80, 1895.
Rev. Hudson Stuck, rector ST.
Matthew's cathedral, is getting
much abuse heaped upon his head
on the one side, and much praise
on the other. The reverend gen.
tleman tells OF a visit he made
from house to house in the fever
-, scourged district of the cotton mills
dwellings. The fever prevalent in
that locality is attributable to the
unwholesome surroundings. The
whole atmosphere, says Mr.. Stuck,
is tainted and poisoned by the dis
gushing Odors from dilapidated
closets and fostering refuse. The
city ordinance is violated as far as
the sanitary requirements are con-
cerned. Mr.. Stuck says IL the city
has no laws to compel the owners
of this property to put it in decent
sanitary condition, there is yet
power in the press to arouse such
public sentiment as shall aCcomp-
lish the result.
The charity work of the ST.
Matthew charity fund, spent in re.
lieving the distress is, as Mr.. Stuck
says, just so much contributed to-
ward the dividends OF the mill,
and the income of the owners of
the property, so long as nothing is
done to remove the cause.
Public sentiment was aroused,
reporters visited the infected dis.
trict, and pictured it even worse
than Mr.. Stuck, for when the re-
porter appeared on the scene the
dark angel had visited the home
OF one OF the families.
The proprietors of the mills and
mills dwellings have kept the gen.
tleman who awakened interest in
the poor tenements in hot water.
Capt. A. F. Hardie, representing
the mile, presented a memoran-
dunn for Mr.. Sucks signature.
Almost every thing Mr.. Stuck
had said was retracted and hand
somely apologized for. Mr.. Stuck
would not "see it" to sign the pa
per presented, and he did not do it.
Public sentiment has been arous-
ed. Mayor pro tenn Woo1side says
the city will investigate the viola
ton OF ordinance requiring boxes
to be placed in ell closets. Citizens
express sympathy for the sufferers
and much is being done to alleviate
the distress, and that is what Rev.
Stuck wanted to accomplish.

More than so letters have been
received by the executive commit.
tee from prominent sportsmen, all
over the country asking for pro-
grams, and information regarding
the big shoot.
The outside cover OF the SO page
program, will be multi-colored and
handsomely Autographed by the
United States Playing Gard comp
any, OF Cleveland, Ohio, free OF
charge to the club.
One Thousand dollars in added
money will be divided and
guaran teed in the different shoots.
There being no doubt of having
from so to 100 entries In each event,
the purses hung out will be worth
coming long distance to shoot for.
Three sets Of electric traps will
be used at one time, taking fifteen
boys to set them. Eighteen shoot
ers facing the traps, calling "pull"
with regularity will present a
sight worth, seeing.
Special arrangements will be
made with the San Antonio Street
Car company for ample accommo-
dalton and transportation to and
from the grounds.
The Business Mems club, OF San
Antonio, has endorsed this grand
tournament as being a drawing
card and good advertisement for
the Alamo City.
Five moro shoots will terminate
the season of trap shooting for the
San Antonio Gun club. The first
class medal will undoubtedly fall
to Piety, who has won it ten times,
the next highest being four. The
second class medal is yet in doubt,
it being nip and tuck between Epp
and Volbrecht, they having won it
eight and seven times respectively.
The third class medal will no doubt
fall to George Chabot, who is sew
eral shoots ahead OF all competi-
tors.

Special Correspondence to the SUNDAY

This week has been quite lively
Work is being pushed on the oil
mill, but it will be October before
it is ready for operation.
The talk about the proposed cot.
ton mill, which for awhile seemed
to be an assured success, has quiet
ed down, and it will probably fall
through, just as many other such
Enterprises have done. There are
still some hopes Of securing the
mill, but the business men OF this
place all seem to be too slow for
action, and while they are study
ing over the matter, they let some
other town, which is more energet-
ic, walk of with the plum.
This was the last week for the
school children to spend in frolics,
az the public school opens Monday.
The school is under the manage

Last Friday fine game Of base
ball was played at this place be.

San Marcos nine, which, after eight
innings, resulted In a score of 20 to

are two ways open, the narrow one and

clever and comfortable, to bring up
white pearls from the deep or to blow

hard to find and the bubbles are easy
