Texas politics is getting badly

Judge Luby Of San Diego, SAYS:
"The regular republicans have
heretofore claimed that the reform

Austin convention drew the color
line with vengeance, and were
ably seconded in it by the Pan

-"lf such methods as those are used

GOULD'S ORCHIDS.
The Great Financier Paid Excessive Prices
 for Them.

'Shrewd as Jay Gould was in every branch of inance,' a flower merchant said to me the other day, ''he had no idea whatever of the value of orchids his great hobby. The old orchid col lection up at Irvington has run down now, but during Gould's lifetime it was one of the finest in the world The amount of money that had been spent on it, however, was enormous. Care full, conservative buying by an orchid expert would have gathered it together at almost fraction of the sam actually paid out. Many exquisite and rare va rieties were numbered in it, it is true, but an excessive price was paid for the most of them.
 "The old fnancier's ways in this were well known, and people with fine or chids to sell seldom failed to get the. sum they asked. Actually, he used to pay as much as $50 at times for orchids that were hardly worth quarter of that. In London he had agents CO., stantly on the lookout for rare plan US of this species, and he paid them prices that they could have obtained nowhere else"

TRIED ID BRIBE MEHAN Failure of a Chinese
 Expedient. FIowery Kingdom Methods Did Not Work. Yee Yon Yum Ordered Deported to the Shores of Far
 Cathay.

The United States court held very brief session late yesterday afternoon and Yee Ton Yum, who, as might be indicated by his name, is Chinaman, was ordered deported to the Flowery Kingdom, he having all marks of an individual who had failed to observe the terms of the Geary exclusion act.
 In connection with this case was de veloped one even more interesting. The prosecution has been mainly con- ducted by Charles Mehan, Chinese in spector for the territory, who has had his hand over Yee for the past year. The case has been stayed off for these many months, but deportation has finally been ordered. Yee's main friend is a merchant in Chinatown, by name Tor Wah, usually for short called George. Yesterday morning George got Mehan off to one side and made an open offer of bribery in a considerable sum if Mehan would only take measures whereby Yee might be cleared Mehan said not a word till the afternoon, when he had George ar rested under the United States statute, which is very terror in such cases, and after examination before Court Commissioner Crenshaw the prisoner was committed to answer.
