give it up. This creature is a rid
die that cannot read. Being only q
short-sighted mortal, it seems to me
that the sloth should have been better
equipped for the battle of life, or else
left out of it altogether.
The sloth lives, moves and has his
being by hanging underneath the
smaller limbs of trees and eating leaves
and fruit. He is the slowest animal on
record, and for speed in travelling long
journey, say from one side of q tree
top to the other, the tortoise is light
ming express in comparison. 1t takes
a good field-glass to enable you to see
him move. His hair is coarse, wavy,
and precisely the color OF gray moss,
or rough bark, although sometimes it
supports a minute vegetable organism
which gives it an olive-green hue. His
feet are simply four hooks, by which he
hangs himself very comfortably when
feeding in the upper story of forest,
but in walking on the ground they are
worse than useless. But the sloth has
no use for the ground, and never goes
near it of his own accord.-William T.
Hornaday, in st. Nicholas.

Newspaper Reporter and District At
torney Attacked.
Columbia, s. c., July 6.-The South
Carolina campaign meeting at Waldo
boro was the scene of amost disgrace
full attack on Solicitor J. Duncan Bel
linger, who spoke for reelection. Mr..
Bellinger is the man who prosecuted
the famous Broxton bridge muderers
and after failing in one case got
change of venue to try the murderers
in Aiken county. This Infatuated the
lawless element in Coleton county,
and when he appeared on the stand he
was greeted with a storm of curses
and threats of pulling down. One
man named Dodd, a cousin Of Acker-
man, one of the murderers, told him
that he had been bribed by northern
Republicans to ''persecute the accus-
ed"
Mr.. Bellinger replied: ''If you will
put that in writing 1 will put you in
the penitentiary for perjury and libel,
so help me God"
1t looked at one time as if he would
be torn from the stand, but he stood
his ground unfiinchingly until his time
was exhausted. There were also
threats of horse-whipping one of the
reporters who had reported the trial
and shown the murderers up, but they
were not carried out.

REPORTERS ALL SCOOPED.

The reporters of the Light and the
Express were all "scooped" Saturday
night, as none of them heard of the
cannonading on River avenue, nor
about the woman jumping from a
street car and breaking her neck. A
Light reporter interviewed a number
of the colored people about II o'clock
coming from the celebration, but they
were evidently so badly frightened as
to seem to know nothing about the
catastrophe.
Although the accident occurred
about 10 o'clock, at o'clock the night
clerk at the police station appeared
totally ignorant of what had hap
pened.

A CHRISTIAN APPOINTED.
Crete Will No Longer Be Governed
BY a Mahommedan.

by Il ManOulmeuan.
COnstantinople, July 6.-Pasha Be
rOvice, prince of Samos, first func-
tionary of the Ottoman empire, has
been appointed governor of the Island
of Crete. Abduliah Pasha, whom he
replaces in the governorship, will re-
tain command of the Turkish forces
in the island.
Since 1888 the island of Samos,
which lies off the west coast of Asia
Minor, AZ miles southwest of Smyr-
ma, has been an autonomous princi-
pality or beylic paying a yearly trib-
ute of 100000 piastres to Turkey.
The island is under the rule of a
prince of Greek nationality named by
the porte, its autonomy being guaran-
teed by Great Britain, France and
Russia, under the protocol of 1892
Prince Regent Georgi Pasha was born
at Scutari, Albania, in 1916, and was
named Prince of Samos in January,
1895. 1t is thought that the appoint
ment of governor of the Greek faith
will put an end to the troubles be-
tween the Christians and Turks in
Crete. The people of Samos are Greek
in language and religion.
The Times publishes a dispatch
from Canea saying that Prince Geor-
gi is an Albanian Christian who has
an excellent record.

A Little Too Economical.

A gentleman residing in New York
recently hired a colored boy for valet.
The boy proved a valuable acquisition
in everything except one, and that was
his practice of economy. He was for
ever endeavoring to save money for his
employer. One day he was sent to get
some letters stamped and TO post them.
Upon his return the gentleman asked
him if he had attended to it all right.
The boy replied: SIS found lot of
gemmen getting stamps, and as they
didn't charge them anything to put the
letters in the slot, saved you 20 cents,
cause I slipped yours in without
stamps" That colored boy was too
economical, and he was dispensed with.

ARMY NEWS

And Notes About the Athletic Sports Of
Last Saturday.
REPORTED SPECIALLY For The LIGHT
Sergeant Murphy OF E troop,
carried of three first prizes in the
field sports last Saturday.
The infantry men were not in it
to any great extent.
There is material enough at the
post wherewith to organize a No.
l base ball team.
1t was demonstrated Saturday
that this time of the year is not
the best in which to get up sports
where there is much muscular ex.
ertion, the weather being too
warm for even the soldiers who
are drilled every day.
The officers and men acting as
officials held down the course all
day under a sweltering sun and
without any protecting shade.
"Tug" Wilson OF the band, is
not all wind even il he does be-
long to that organization. Will
son has plenty of grit and is not a
gutter.
Now comes troop ID on its off ear
and says it can put a ball team in
the field that can do up any team
selected from the other troops OF
the squadron.
Bugler Smith was an easy win
ner in the 100 yard dash.
Lucking, who got third place in
the veterans race, had a sure thing
of it, there being only three en-
tries.
Cahill knows his business as an
umpire and gave general satisfac-
ton.
The battery gallery makes a
splendid grand stand and was
taken charge OF by the ladies and
children. The members OF this
organization, who, by the way, are
noted for their politeness, made 1t
very pleasant for all visitors to
their quarters, furnishing seats
and Ice water.
The result OF the sports showed
that the infantry men do not take
exercise enough. 1t takes plenty
of "horse exercise" grooming and
marching to and from stables four
times a day to harden a mans
muscles. This the cavalry men
get enough of.
An interesting part OF the pro-
gram which could not be finished
Saturday is being carried out this
afternoon having commenced at
one o'clock.
Lieutenant Glasgow has been
ordered to Leon springs to inspect
the target range there. This
range will be used this year for
the troops OF this post.
The great event of the sports
will be the tug of war, cavalry
versus infantry. The indications
are in favor Of the infantry.
The next field sports take place
Thanksgiving day.

DIR. HATHAWAY & CO.,
PEARSALL POINTERS.
Democrats Scramble for Office, En-
dorse the Platform Before One
Is Made.

Light Special.
Pearsall, Tex, July AT o'clock
last night the Democratic convention
of the Dist district was called to or
der. The first move was to put SAM
H. Jones' name before the conven-
ton as a candidate for the nOmina-
ton and was supported by Uvalde
two votes, Medina one and Zavalla
one, total of four votes.
On the 10th vote Mason Nancy,
seeing if something was not done, the
convention would remain in a dead
lock and probably no nomination be
made, withdrew his name from be-
fore the convention with the follow
ing remarks:
Gentlemen, thank you as sincere
ly as l can-the gentlemen that have
supported me. l have intended to
withdraw my name for some hours,
however, my friends have been so
staunch that l have left myself en-
tirely in their hands. l now with
draw my name from before this con-
vention. l do this in the interest of
harmony and l hope you will select
a candidate worthy of the Office and
l will fight and work for the nominee
of this convention much more than l
have done for Mason Nancy"
G. n. Garner introduced the follow
ing resolution which was unanimous
ly adopted by the convention:
Resolved by this convention that we
endorse the platform adopted by the
Austin regular convention and that
we pledge allegiance to the national
platform and its nominees.
After taking $50 ballots Sam. p.
Jones, of Medina county, the advO-
cate of protection for Southwest Tex
as, was given the nomination by the
following vote: Frio county 1, WAL
de 2, Medina 1, MeMullen 1, total
of five votes, which gave him more
than the necessary two-thirds major
ity.
o. d. Baker, of Uvalde, was elected
permanent chairman for the next two
years. With this the convention adj
journed, having no further business.
A shower of rain fell this evening
about o'clock and is still threatening
and good rain is expected tonight.
With a good rain at this time, though
too late for corn, will put water out
for stock, which is scarce even in
wells, for some have gone dry from
the continued drouth, and will insure
a good cotton crop, without which
the farmers in this immediate section
of the country would be in bad fix.
