senate yesterday concurred in the

BE Spent Her Money.

Lee Shoto, an ex.soldier, was ar
rested early yesterday morning for
disorderly conduct. He beat up a
woman in little house near the
corner of Laredo and Dolorosa
streets, and put pillow over her
head, so that her scream, could not
be heard. 1t Is said that the
woman saw him spending money
in a saloon with another woman.
She attacked her rival and the two
women started to fight. They were
also arrested. Their names are
Annie Mitchell and Agnes Will
liams.

THEY PLAYED BALL.
Powelps Pelicans and Brophy's Bronchos

Gave an Interesting Exhibition
Yesterday.
Basehits were few and hard to
get at Riverside park yesterday.
Only seven were made, Of which the
Bronchos got three. But it was a
good game. Neither side was
meeting the ball very lively, and
when they did hit it a fielder was
there to take care of 1t.
"Bones" Parvin pitched for the
locals and he had the visitors bend
ing their backs reaching for his
curves. He was little wild in the
beginning, but after the third in
ming he put them just where
Catcher Jones wanted them. Par
vim is undoubtedly the most stra-
getic pitcher in the league and will
prove puzzle to some Of the heavy
batters this season. He does not
rank very high as a batter or base.
runner, but with Elsey, Griffin,
Mackey, McKeever and the rest,
the Bronchos are not short on run
ners and hitters.
The New Orleans team played a
splendid game yesterday. They
didn't, in Galveston and Houston,
and that's how the latter two teams
won from them. Manager Powell
has good opinion of the 'Bron-
chos, and said he can use several
of them on his team.
The Bronchos failed to score I'M
til their last inning, while the Pei
leans had three runs to their
credit. One of these, however, was
given them by Mr.. Clark, the local
pitcher, who tried to umpire. The
locals made one run and the final
score was 81.
Claude Jones, the local catcher
played his first game yesterday,
and the rooters are satisfied with
his work. Jones ought to rank
with the best catchers in the
league and is said to be a good
hitter.
About a thousand people wit.
messed the game and they liked
everything but the street car SER
vice. The rooters now say that
Gull is all right, that Griffin at
short can't be beat, that Crotty
holds his own and that Elsey will
be in the big league next year.
Mackey and McKeever are at home
in the outfield and Miller may i'm
prove.
AS for the street car service,
improvements are being made in
the line every day, and cars are to
make the run from Houston street
to the ball park in fifteen minutes
during the league season, which
opens here April 81. A five.min-
ute service is also promised.

Laid To Rest.

All that was mortal of the late
Miss Mollie Picard was laid to
rest in the Jewish cemetery yester-
day morning services which were
conducted at the house and at the
grave by Rabbi Elkip, were very
impressive. The many friends
and acquaintance that followed
the remaines to the grave, there to
witness the last sad rites of burial
were evidence of the high esteem
which the deceased was held by
them. The floral tributes were
beautiful, and required an extra
carriage to transport them to the
cemetery. Several designs were
Of artistic floral arrangement,
among them a pillow of white
roses and smilax from her nearest
and dearest young lady associates
and friends.
The Grace Aguilar society's re-
membrance was a beautiful wreath
of white flowers and ferns.
The pail bearers composed Of
young gentlemen in her circle OF
society, contributed an exquisite
floral design in the shape OF the
Tyre encircled by a wreath on which
snow white dove was perched.
The confirmation class with
whom she was confirmed and &C.
cepted the Jewish faith sent a
Tyre with white Gala lille repre-.

III last Sundays News ard Observer
appeared an anonymous communica-
tionoutliuing planof proposed fusion
between the Democrats and populists.
II was published anonymously as
matter OF news ID the news columns
and without comment not having been
seen by the editor who was III Wash
iugton, ID G., until after its
publication AS il matter az fact, as
every reader Of this paper who hasn't
taken the gold cure knows, that anony-
nous article was in direct conflict with
the policy Of the paper. But the News
and Observer prints the news when il
il news, and published the contribu-
ton just as it did Pritchara and But
ler's proclamations, and other sepsa-
tional announcements, and isn't 10 be
moved from its policy by the hue and
cry Of a handful Of abusive gold pro-
seriptionists.
Tt isn't the men who have plans of
fusion with the Populists, unwise and
futile as they may be, who
are doing the party the most
damage. 1t is those who de-
clare that gold recommendation
Is Democracy, and seek to drive out of
the party the great majority who re
fuse to fall down and worship the
golden calf If their policy could pre-
vail, yance's prediction would be real
lied and the Democratic party would
walk out Of itself, leaving behind moth
ing but Wall street and smell of
birthstone. But, happily for the great
party whose principles are imperish-
able the gold monometallists are in
helpless minority wherever Demo
Gratis live, and can draft their destruc-
| tive doctrine ON the Democratic plat
forms in no conventions except in Re
publican States. Eight States have
elected their delegates to the Chicago
convention. In only two was the gold
policy put in the platform, and in
the Republican States of Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island. Silver dele
cations go from Oregon, Washington,
Colorado, Missouri, Alabama, and Ne
braslla, and also from the District of
Columbia. The Democratic States are
for silver; in the Republican States,
the Democratic managers keep them
| selves in a permanent minority by
trailing after the Republicans, instead
Of standing firmly by Democratic doc
trine. The Democrats in Democratic
States are getting tired Of letting
Democrats from Republican States
who are tinctured with Republication
write the party platforms. They will
have none of it this year.

MOTHER aON-PARTTZAN'
SCHEME FOR BOUNTY.

Some manufacturers have called a
meeting at Detroit. June I'd, for the
purpose Of organizing an association
to put the tariff question upon per-
manent foundation IN taking it out Of
the political vortex and placing it in
the hands Of business men" That
sounds very nice, but the Mchinleyism
ii the call creeps out as follows, "and
1T is especially desirable to have q
large attendance SO that any action
taken by the convention viii be backed
by sufficient force to impress upon
Congress the necessity Of granting our
just demands"
The tariff will be taken out oil poll
tics when the government derives rev
enue from some other source, and not
till then. The present call is intended
to impose more taSes on the many for

The recent exposure Of Rev Dr.
Morgan because he preached q sermon
fa81 mad been written by another has
revived discussion over the moral tur-
ptuaa of plagiarism. The eoncensus
inion n that the man who will
af GA his congregation, as his
Il, sermon that haS been written
hy another Is unworthy To call sinners
10 repentance Az 4 matter Of fact
these plagairist preachers are not
usuatly ia the business ot calling sim
ases IL repentanee They have en-
tered the ministry as an easy way Of
making d living, and the consciousness
that they are, ia sense, leading a
double life, dulls their moral percep-
tions until they can see no wrong in
appropriating the labor Of others and
praeticing deception upon their con-
gregations. DR.. Morgan's explanation
showed that his moral perception was
dull, no matter what the cause.
Let us look at the contrast presented
IA truly great and truly honest
preacher. The Examiner, Of New
York, says:
On q certain Sunday afternoon,
just before the sermon, the Rey
ar John Hall, of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church, said to the
congregation: My church duties
during the last week have been
very numerous and eNacting, and
tt was utterly impossible for me
to prepare more than one sermon,
which / preached to you this
morning. ] can serve you better
and do better justice to myself
by giving YOU a sermon which /
have read during the last week, and
which gained very deep hold
Gpon me- lie then proceeded to
give in his own language the
thought Of the sermon he had
read, to the great interest and
apparent satisfaction of the large
congregation.
This was frank, straightforward,
manly. Ten or more years ago this
writer sat under the ministry of an Ell
oquent divine, the late Rev. Jesse III.
Quinn, whose memory was most re-
markable 1t was his habit, when not
very well, to read and commit to mem
DRY one of Wesley's, or Beeeher's, or
some other great preachers sermons,
and say to his congregation, very much
after the manner of DIR. Hall, Il have
not been very well this week, and in
stead Of preaching a sermon Of my
own composition, / will preach SER
mon by John Wesley" And he would
deliver it with as much emphasis and
ease as ff he had composed the sermon
himself There was no lack of famil-
iarity, no reading, no hesitancy. The
other mans sermon was preached just
al If it had been his own, but there
was no sailing under false colors.
