A ROYAL STATE BANQUET
EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH CHEER
FULLY DRINKS TO EMPEROR
WILLIAMS HEALTH.
WITH GRATITUDE AND some WINE
Emperor William Returned the
Compliment With n FlatterinE
Reminiscent Speech That Pro-
voked Great Applause.

BuJa Pest, Sept. 21.-At the state
banquet given today in honor of Empcr-
or William of Germany, Emperor Francis
Joseph in proposing his majesty's health,
referred to him as "My faithful friend,
ally and unwearied fellow laborer in the
great work of peace, to which we ever
devote our best powers"
In conclusion the Austrian emperor re-
marked: Convinced that similarity of
sentiment guides lis in this exalted mis-
sion, empty my glass; etc.
Emperor William in reply remarked:
1T was with feeling of the most pro-
found gratitude that l listened to your
majesty's most cordial greeting. Thanks
to your majesty's invitation, have been
enabled to visit this beautiful city whose
splendid reception has literally over
whelmed me. We Germans follow with
a sympathetic nature the history of the
Hungarian people whose love for their
country has become n proverb and who
in their struggles have not hesitated to
sacrifice their blood and goods in defense
of the cross. Names like Zrinyi and
Czigeth to this day makes the heart of
every German lad beat faster with ad-
miration. We have followed the cele-
brating of the thousandth birthday of
the loval Hungarians. arrayed in dazzling
splendor about their beloved king. Their
majestic movements testify their artistic
sense while the bursting of the letters
laid by the iron gates on commerce and
intercourse opened new paths and
brought Hungary into the ranks and on
an equal footing with the great civilized
nations.
But what has made the deepest i'm
pressions upon ME during my stay in
Hungary is the enthusiastic devotion of
the Hungarians 10 your majesty's au-
gust person. Not only here. however.
but in all Europe and above all, with my
own people the same fervent enthusiasm
prevails for your majesty. feeling in
which | also who look up as q son t.
your majesty. as being my paternal
friend. venture to claim a share.
Thanks to the wisdom of yonr ma
jesty our alliance concluded in the past
by our peoples stand firm and dissolub!e.
1t has secured peace to Europe for a
long time and will do so still longer.
"The imprisoned devotion to your
ma jesty of this am certain burns to this
day in the hearts of the sons of Arfad,
as it did the day when they cried aloud
to your majesty'S great ancestors:
'Moriamur Pro Rege Nostro.'
"In giving expression to these senti-
ments we wish one and all to combine,
and We think, fell and desire for your
majesty in the cry which every Hun
garian re-echoes to his last breath Ellen
a Kiraly.'"
The speech of Empeor William caused
enthusiasm, and especially
when he alluded to Count Trinyi's defense
of the fortress of Czigeth in 1866, when
he blew up the citadels rather than
capitulate to the Turks.

TT rs PROVING BENEFICIAL.

About four years ago the Illinois Cen
trail Railway company inaugurated plan
| by which the employees of the road could
subscribe to the stock of the company at
mar, one share at time, payment to be
made in instalments. The annual re-
| port of the company shows nearly 1000
shares are owned by employees and the
shares are at $40 premium. The Phila-
delphia Record, referring to the scheme,
| says:
''The railroad company has discovered
! new and unlocked for benefit to itself
resulting from the success of this expert
ment Prior to this time nearly all of
the stock was held in the east, practically
none being owned by farmers or business
men living on the line of the railroad out
side of few large cities. The annual
report states that since the employees have
become owners of stock large purchases
in the aggregate have been made by other
persons of moderate means. and these
are at the present time shareholders, reg
istered in the stock books of the COM
pany, whose homes are in every state
and in almost every county served by the
railroad.
This is regarded as a very important
and valuable outcome of the experiment;
so much so, indeed, that it has been de-
cided to issue free passes over the com
pany's lines to all stockholders from the
stations nearest Chicago and return at
the time of the annual meetings of the
company. This railroad runs through an
extensive agricultural district; and the
patrons are largely farmers, who are as
a rule unfamiliar with railroad invest
ments, and heretofore ignorant of the
way to buy the stock. They were accus-
toned to regard the owners of stock as n
class of eastern plutocrats. and seemed
to think that Wall street bankers and
merchant princes only could fathom the
mysteries of stock purchasing and owner
ship. These persons would probably
never have dreamed of owning stock
themselves, and would not have inquired
at all about the matter but for the infor-
nation disseminated among them by the
employees of the railroad.
oucn experiments are calculated not
only to develop more harmonious rela-
tons between employers and employed,
but also to diffuse knowledge of the !
simple principles underlying financial af-
fairs among the people, ignorance of
which has bred up large class of popu-
lists, silverites, greenbackers and cranks |
of all kind. Let the farmers become in
vestors in railways, encourage them to
attend the annual meetings, make them
personally interested in these great ar
teries of trade life and leaven of kuowl- |
edge will be diffused throughout the coun-
try which will dispel ignorance by en-
tightening the people, stimulate saving
and encourage small investments in legit-
innate enterprises

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were put
ting it Il little strong, because it is gen
orally thought by the majority of people
that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is in
durable, or practically so. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia is cu1a-
ut first appears.
The trouble with ,Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting. starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex,
tremes or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with "btters," "after
dinner pills." etc., which invariably in.
crease the difficulty even If in some cases
they do give a slight temporary relief.
Such treatment of the stomach simply
make matters worse. What the stoma CHI
wants is a rest. Now how can the stom..
the same time the body nourished and
sustained?
This is the great secret and this is also.
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy, but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to its merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according
to directions, is to eat an abundance of
SOOu, WnOleSOIlle IOOu ana use the tablets
before and after each meal and the re-
suit will be that the food will be digested
no matter how bad your dyspepsia may
be, because, as before stated, the tablets
will digest the food even if the stomach
is wholly inactive. To illustrate our
meaning plainly, if you take 1900 grains
of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place
it in temperature of 90 degrees, and
put with it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs
almost as perfectly as if the meat was
enclosed within the stomach.
The stomach may be ever 80 weak. yet
these tablets will perform the work Of
digestion and the body and brain wilt
be properly nourished and at the same
time a radical. lasting cure of dyspepsia
will be made because the much abused
stomach will be given, to some extent,
much needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you that of the many remedies ad-
vertised to cure dyspepsia none of them
has given so complete and general sat
isfaction az Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not least in Importance in these hard
times is the fact that they are also the
cheapest and give the most good for the
least money.

THE DECREASE OF IMMIGRATION

Under this heading a late copy of the
Baltimore Sun had the following instruc.
tive editorial:
The current of immigration flowing TO
this country from Europe increases or
dlm!nishes in volume according to indus
trial and business conditions. When
business is depressed here the class of
people which supplies the immigrants
may find it easier to make living in the
old country than here. And so we find
that during the year ending June 80,
1897. there Were fewer immigrants by
10000 than during the previous year.
In 1875 the number was 343. 267 and in
1897 23O,S3O, decrease of 33 per cent.
OF the entire number of immigrants near
ly three-fourths settle in four states,
namely, Illinois, Massachusetts,, New
York and Pennsylvania. The states
south of the Potomac and Ohio and west
of the Mississippi attract only II per cent.
The Europeans and French Canadians
that have settled in New England, and
especially Massachusetts, have radically
changed the character Of the population.
The old New England Puritan stock may
still be in the ascendency in influence,
but their numerical superiority is going.
The foreign element in New York city
constitutes an enormous proportion of the
entire population. while Chicago is, in
effect, not an American, but a foreign
city, or rather a city of foreigners. Over
one-half of the total number of immi-
grants are Hungarians, Italians, Poles
and Russians. Over one-half of the Italians
over fifteen years of age are illiterate,
40 per cent of the Poles, % per cent of
the Russians and those from Austria
Hungary. The average amount of money
brought by each immigrant increased
from $11 in 1896 to SIS in 1897, and
there was a considerable decrease in the
total percentage of ilteracy, namely,
from 20 to %.
"a large increase in immigration dur
ing the current year may reasonably be
ANTICIPATED"

Time Is slipping by. 1t is within two
months of the city election, and yet we
have no pronounced candidate for mayor.
This should not be. A frst-class mayor
is far too important thing for our city
to let his selection go by default. If
Austin's condition was different from
what it is, it might be permissible to
let things rock idly along and allow the
selection of mayor so by default. But
even that would DE poor business sense,
and while things are as they are it
would be criminal negligence to fail to
do all possible to secure the very best
material in the city for our next mayor
Hence 1t is urged upon every one to keep
this matter strictly in mind and to see
to 1t that Austin secures such n mayor
as the Importance of our city and the
crucial condition of the city's affairs de-
nand.

Burned at Sea.

Salem, Mass, Sept. 21.-A telegram
has been received here from Capt }. w.
Durham, who is in Pensacola, Fla, stat
ing that his ship, the Favonius, had
been burned Mt sea.
The Favonius is of 1900 tons burden
and was carrying lumber from Pensa-
cola to Rio Janeiro. The vessel was
loaded about two weeks ago, but diff.
Guilty arose over n crew, as no one would
ship owing to the prevalence of sick
ness at Rio Janeiro. A crew was finally
secured, but Just as the vessel was on
the point of starting the whole deserted.
Cant. Durham was then obliged to Sc.
cure a crew, which consisted of half
whites and half blacks. He started on
his voyage last Saturday. Shipping men
outside the crew set fire to the ship.
The telegram states that the crew were
saved. The Fayonius was British
ship.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The case of

days ago, came up for consideration in
the cabinet meeting today. The report
of the agent sent to Hogansville by the
poStoffice department to make an inyesti-

1t is said the report showed that the

fully determined to uphold his position
because of the prejudice against him on
account of his color. 1t is also said the
report touched upon the new appointee's

Miss Sarah Randall, who died in Bal
timore, Md, last week at 1903 years of
her age, it is claimed. attained that great
age by having lived all through life with
out entertaining those distracting and
wearing away emotions known as love
for one of the opposite SEX 1t may be
that the claim is correct. Love is fever
that sometimes burns into the very vitals
OF q man or woman. but it is generally
thought that it is not injurious unless
the affection is not returned. although it
is a rare thing that love is not reciprocal,
and then only when the heart is engaged
to another. Love begetS love. 1t is Il
contagious fever that is caught involun-
tarily and that is the reason that love of
one man for one woman or otherwise is
generally mutual and is consummated in
marriage. Those who have lived a much
shorter period of time in the bonds of
marriage would not have enyed Miss
Randall her longevity at the loss of that
domestic love and happiness that are the
results of marriage. .....
