Gloves for the Breath.

81 believe that the habit of eating
spice of one kind and another which
drinking men acquire" said a physician
in the Venetian building the other day,
ais almost as bad as the drink habit it.
self. No well-regulated barroom is con-
sidered equipped nowadays unless It
has on the bar tray filed with cloves,
allspice, cinnamon, lemon peel, calamus,
or other pungent condiments. The
original idea of supplying these things
seems to have been to take away the
liquor smell from the drinkers breath,
but nine out of ten who eat these things
do it because it goes with the drink, and
they want all they can get for their
money. In this way the spice habit il
easily formed. These spices act as pow
erful irritants, and produce evils Of
various sorts. Peppercorns have de-
bilitating effect on the system, CHINA
mon depresses the action of the heart,
and calamus has a bad effect on the
liver"

of the peoples money have been need
lessly and criminally wasted.
We are justified in asserting that I'M
der this non-partisan rule, our local
elections have become shameful ex-
hibitions of the use of money to secure
the votes of ignorant and irresponsible
voters. That it has come to be con-
sidered legitimate for candidates to
contribute to a campaign slush fund
for the direct purpose Of corrupting the
ballot box.
We feel justified in calling upon all
true and loyal Republicans as well as
all good citizens who desire a change
Of the present condition of things to
give our ticket their votes and sup
port.
Therefore, Resolved, That we as loyal
Republicans, renew with added fervor
our feality to the principles of the Re-
publican party as expressed in our ma
tional platform.
Resolved, That we believe that the
nations honor is at stake and that ev-
cry good citizen should cast his vote
for the Republican national ticket at
this election.
Resolved, That we earnestly endorse
our distinguished representative in
congress Hon. Geo. H. Noonan and ask
that every good citizen Of Bexar county
join with us in securing his return to
congress. His day of usefulness has
but Just dawned, and his retirement
would be a calamity to this city and
the district II not to the entire country
Resolved, That we as citizens Of Bex-
ar county, who have known Judge
Noonan for over a quarter Of a century
desire to testify in his behalf to the
entire district our high appreciation Of
his unimpeachable integrity, his sound
sense, his exalted patriotism and his
devotion to the welfare of the people
he represents.
Resolved, That we favor the strictest
economy in our county government
The suspension OF bond issues until the
wealth OF the county will admit of
necessary debts to improve our public
roads or maintain our public institu-
lions.

TRAVELS OF A BULLET.
Missed Buck, But Jumped Two Hills
and Wounded q Man.

Missed . Buck, But Jumped Two Hills
and Wounded Man.
r. II. Campbell, of the Madras civil
corps, tells of an incident which came
under his official notice as magistrate
of Hosan, Madras, says the New York
Recorder. A. European was hunting
black buck on hillside when he got a
shot with his Msrtini-Henry carbine.
The result of the shot taught him q
lesson about the dangers Of long-range
bullets.
In o valley, 1900 yards away, beyond
Two rather high hills and little pond,
"a native was standing with his head
bowed and hands clasped behind his
lack. The bullet broke the wrist of his
hand. In the investigation that fol-
lowed the course Of the bullet was
traced accurately. In firing at the ante
,lope the bullet had hit stone on the
hillside and gone bounding over and
over the first hill. At the next hill an,
other place where the bullet struck was
found. Here the bullet leaped up into
the air, almost perpendicularly, and
when it came down in the rice field 1t
hit the mans wrist, broke the bone,
cut q cash in his body and then dropped
to the ground, spent ball. The mosu
dangerous bullet, save the one in a So
called isn't-loaded gun, is the one that
goes ricocheting through air.

An American Fable Whose Moral WIN BE

One day the owl remarked to the
crow that the peasant who had lately
moved into the cottage beyond the
wood was a good fellow and the crow
passed the word to the jackdaw and the
jackdaw to the parrot, says the Detroit
Free Press. Then the fox wanted to
know what was up, and, being duly in
formed, he took it upon himself to in
form the other wild animals of the
forest, and pretty soon it was
Resolved, That the peasant being a
good fellow, we will visit him and prove
our good will"
. In due time there was great gather
ing of birds and beasts, and at signal
each one cried out and applauded in his
own peculiar way. Things were mighty
lively and the assemblage was fatter-
ing itself that it was doing the proper
thing in proper way when the peasant
appeared, with his hair standing up and
his eyes hanging out, and exclaimed:
"Ahi Lack-a-day, but what in Texas is
all this row about? 2"
Eve have come to show our friend
ship for q bully boy" was the chorus.
Had You come as enemies would
have brought out my shotgun and pro-
tected myself, but now, alas! am help
less and undone."

THE PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Bexar County Repub.
leans.

Adopted by the Bexar County Repub
leans.
We, Republicans Of Bexar County
assembled in convention composed Of
delegates from the several election pre-,
cincts Of the county, for the purpose Of
making an effort to rescue our county
government from under the corrupting
influences of personal politics. We be-
lieve this can only be accomplished by
a return to party conventions, and par
ty nominations.
We are convinced, that the people re-
change in our political methods
that will break down the ticket making
combinations that have ruled and all
but ruined our county and city govern
ments.
Under the deceptive guise of "Citi-
zens' Ticket" Reform Ticket" "Peo-
pies Ticket" and Business Ticket"
our community has been for the past
16 years, repeating, year after year
the farce of putting in Office profession
al office-seekers and professional Office
holders.
We are convinced that the efforts of
the Republican party in 1882 and 1886,
to eliminate party politics from local
elections was made in the interest of
reform" and a desire to meet half
way other good citizens of different DO
litical affiliations in a mutual effort to
secure relief from the tyranny of an
trust.
We are convinced that in the course
of time this abandonment of party ac-
ton has demoralized our people, cor
rupted our elections, and engendered
hate and distrust between large bodies
Of our citizens, as we'll as creating in
dividual personal animosities.
We are convinced that the extrav-
agance which has piled up a heavy
bonded Indebtedness, for which not on
ly the present but the generations to
come must sweat and work, was born
Of the corruption of non-partisian poll
tics. Our new court house was an
extravagance-it stands
as monument of derision of the peo-
ple-the issuance of county bonds to
produce campaign patronage for the
officials in power has been a shame and
a crime upon the people Of Bexar coun-
ty. Hundreds Of thousands of dollars

WONDERFUL INDUSTRY.
A Wisconsin Man Has Worked Ten Years
on Fifteen Cabinets.

n wisconsin Man has worked Ten Years
on Fifteen Cabinets.
Out in the wilds of Wisconsin in the
little rural village of Martintown, Green
county, lives one of the most industrious
men of the century, says the New York
World. He is Peter Haase, cabinet.
maker. Ten years ago he conceived the
idea and perfected plans in detail of the
most ingenious and elaborate combina-
ton bookcase and writing cabinet in the
world. Having saved enough money 10
support him the remainder of his life,
he began the construction of not only
one of these cabinets but of Is, finishing
a certain part of each at the same time
before advancing farther.
The cabinets are inlaid with all of the
native woods, the boards having been in
his shop seasoning for over is years.
When completed the is cabinets will
contain 1900, 900 pieces of wood. Some
idea of the Lime required for the COM
pletion of this undertaking may be had
by knowing that it would take man
working eight hours a day one year 10
simply sort and count million pieces,
many of which will have to be handled
20 times by Mr.. Haase before being per-
manently adjusted. The top of each
cabinet is to contain 1900 pieces and
zach of the posts 1000. The aged
workman figures that it will take him
six years to finish his work and the IS
pieces Of furniture will be completed
at the same time.
Mr.. Haase is II years of age, but hale,
hearty and full of hope and determine
ton to complete this wonderful work,
to which hs applies himself enthusiasts
tically every workday. His patience
and perseverance are remarkable.
He counts on each cabinet being worth
IS, ooo-S75,o0o for the lot-when COM
pleted, and believes that investing his
time in making them will prove more
profitable than spending his money ON
life insurance would have been.
