Aboard Shlp.

Sea voyage are usually deemed
promotlve of health. So they are in
most cases. But it may we'll be
doubted if the shaking up aboard
ship, which people OF very fragile
constitution and weak nerves get,
is not preiudicial if its effects are
not averted or nullifed by a medi-
cinal safeguard. The best, il we are
to believe the testimony of ocean
travellers, whether they go abroad
for health, pleasure or business,
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In
valids, commercial travellers, sea
captains and yatchmen concur in
recommending this fine defensive
tonic SO do emigrants to the
frontier, the inhabitants of malari-
Gus regions, and all who are ex-
posed to hardship or rigors of eli
mate. For malarial, rheumatic or
kidney tr ouble, nervousness, dyspep
sia, liver complaint and constipa-
ton it is ninently efficacious, and
commended by the medical frater-
nifty tar and near.

The play, "a Trial at Midnight,

company we'd with each other in re-
citing their lines, the performance
OF course going through without
hitch,
The band by this performance
realized 4 nice sum, and they stand
today quite loyal to the Spoonersi
aud there is n t a h rn or horn
blower in the band but stands ready
to give out its sweetest sound and
praise for F. E. Spooner and his
troupe.
Among those purchasing tickets
nd distributing them to the boys,
was Mr.. w. c. Hardin, who lead
out by paying for 80 and giving
them away to thos who could not
stand the luxury of purchasing
tickets for themselves. Such dis
interestestness should be applauded
by all lovers of liherality.
The play selected tonight is tie
"Old Homestead" and never fails

NINTH ANNIVERSARY,

The Huckins House management
is putting on extra style today, it
being the ninth anniversary of the
opening of this popular house.
When the Huckins House was first
opened there were many here who
thought the location was not a
good one, but time has taken this
notion out of their heads, for the
register shows that the house is
doing large business, We have
known the proprietors long and
have found both liberal and ready
to help in all lau1able enterprises
for our city, and they have lost
nothing by this liberality. The
Junior member Joe Huckins Jr. has
served one term as alderman aud
he has been selected and elected by
the Democratic primary to serve
another term in the city council
We can but wish that this popular
house shall always remain in the
hands of the Huckins' as long as
time shall last.

forts-gentle efforts-pleasanl efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condl-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo Figs. prompt
ly removes That is why it is the on y
remedy with millions Of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the

cleanliness without debilitating the

ali important, in order to get its bene-
ncinl effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
ele, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists. -,
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one

GAME PROTECTION.
An Address Issued by the Texas Game
Protective Association.

Waco, Tex, Dec. 3.-(Special.) THE adj
dress to representatives, senators and the
people Of Texas in the interest OF game
protection, issued by the president of the
Texas Game Protective association, was
sent out today in circular form by Secre-
tary Turner Hubby. The following is
taken from the address Of President II
X. Lockett:
The proposed bill adopted by the as
ISOLATION has four principal changes from
the existing law in view and several
minor details that 1t is thought best to
adopt in the new bill. The first proposed
change is that all game, fish, birds, wild
animals and wild fowls, except fish In
private ponds, and domestic fowls and
animals, found within the limits of this
state are declared to be the property of
this state. The second change makes
possession Of game, fish and birds, out Of
season, prima facie evidence OF the guilt
of the person having them.
The third Is an amendment proposing
that 1t should be made penalty for any.
common carrier or carrier Of any kind, !.
to ship, transport or haul game beyond
the limits Of the state Of Texas.
The fourth provides that the law shaif
be made universal and applicable to every
county in the state Of Texas. At present
the law exempts one-third Of the coun-
ties.

citizens became demonstrative and

the south and to defend the good name nam
of our city, desire to state that we ana
not consider that the detention on ac-
count of slight irregularity in pass,

the next steamer, which, proved correct;
While our citizens deeply deplore ana
are Justly incensed at the lnhuman
methods of the Spanish troops towards
the sick in hospitals and against non
combatants who are reported as having
been brutally tortured and murdered
after capture, they realize that the span

SLATED FOR AN XMAS GIFT.
Admirers of Ambassador Bayard Wish
to Make Him One

London, Dec. 4.-The Chronicle this
morning discusses the proposal of the
Daily Telegraph to take public sub
scription for farewell Christmas gift
to Mr.. Bayard, the United States am
bassador. The Chronicle, while admit
ting the Daily Telegraph's generosity, de-
clares:
"The proposal is most improper be-
cause an ambassador represents the SOW
ereign, and what rs done to Mr.. Bayard
is done to Mr.. Cleveland. Further, one
of the strictest regulations of the diplo-
matte rules forbids the acceptance of
presents"
The Daily Telegraph this morning
prints letters from the secretaries of the
WOrkmen's and Trades society approving
of the suggestion of a Christmas gift to
Mr.. Bayard.
The lord mayor of London, George
Faudel Phillips, writes, donating f5, and
adding: 81 intend to invite his excel
lency to farewell banquet at the Man
sion House, at which Lord Salisbury has
signified the hope of being present"
Many other letters are published, the
first list including Sir Edwin Arnold with
a subscription of five guineas.

Cuban Sympathizers in st. Louis Indite
the President Letter.

st. Louis, Dec. 4.-The following let
ter has been sent to President Cleve

Der 81:
''St. Louis, Dec ITO His Excellency
Grover Cleveland, President, Washing
ton, d. c.: Sir-The press reports that
have been published for months past, and
are being daily published, from the
island of Cuba, indicate that the war
being waged by the Cuban people for
liberty on the one side and by the forces
of the Spanish government for their sub
jugation on the other has degenerated
into bloody and merciless war of eX-
termination, in which women, children,
the aged and infrm and other non
complaints are subjected to inhuman
and barbarous treatment by the Spanish
soldiery."
The letter then refers at length to
the previous rebellions and of their bar
barous character, and concludes:
"In spirit of Christian charity, we
appeal to you, in the name of humanity
and American civilization, to make ct.
fective the repeatedly expressed Will OF
the vast majority of your fellow citizens
by granting to the Cuban people the
rights of belligerency. which we believe

Memphis, Dec. 4.-The last sensational

sprung today.
Gen. Patterson, for the state, having
made brief introduction to the jury
last evening, the argument was passed
up to the defense and the understanding
was that Messrs. Roberts, Norfeet and
Peters would follow each other today in
the interest CT the defendant. But when
the court convened this morning Gen.
Peters announced that the defense would
leave the case as it stands with the jury
and called upon the court to expound
the law without permitting the attorney
general to make any further argument.
At first Gen. Patterson was inclined to
demand the right to conclude his argu-
ment, but. after considering the matter.
he concluded that IL the defense could
afford to 90 before the jury without any
argument he could afford to do so on the

IL was said that most of them came from
the vicinity of San Cristobal and Cam

val that. Weyler had sustained another
defeat. Counter statements were also
made that the van guard of Maceo's
army had been defeated. Moreover it was
announced that Weyler in attempting TO
storm some of the hills entrenched suf-
fered defeat.
This afternoon it was current rumor
on the street that garrison of Spaniards
had deserted oyer to Maceo with their
arms, ammunition and stores. The place
was not giveG, though it is supposed to
be near Palaco. Over 45O men were in
the garrison.
Late in the afternoon guerilla fighting

party of insurgents made dash into the
suburbs. They succeeded in killing
three Spanish soldiers, capturing one cap

reports do not please him.
