L snsky, in 1888, he took unto himself
40 year-old senorita'' and called
her wife. Persons who are familiar
with the view which he took of the
conducs of thes wives are not inclined
to think that "a little thing like a
wife's infdelity would even ruffie his
serenity.
Mr.. Shedd's family have not been
ignorant of his whereabouts all these
years They have known it since 1882,
and about seven years ago his son came
here and offer ed to take him home and
provide for him, but he refused to go.
The forgiveness and genuine harity
ex ended Mr.. Sbedd by his family are
remarkable and are incompatible
with the false and malicious article
published in the Telegraph-so much
SO that l cannot attribute the
raspons bility of it to them.
During a residence in this country of
about % years, Mr.. Davies established
and maintained a reputation of being
an honest, uprish cit gen and gentle
man. Mr.. Shedd lived in this comfy
for about Sc years and l do not know of
any one who claims a single one of
these attributes for him. TIE friends
of Mr.. Davies do not fell that lis
character needs any vindication, but
his family (who are all ladies' can
hardly be expected to take an entire
ly dispasaiona'e aud philosophical
view Of So scurr' lous an article as that
which appeared in the Telegraph.
For their sake will you kindly give
space to this?
Yours, &c, T. W. LENOIR.

Reca Is a Circumstance to Show That
He Was Once Counted Out.

Elk Mayor Hewitt on Friday on his
! retu n from Europe criticised Henry
Georges theories in a manner to pro-
woke a hot reply from Mr.. George, in
which be said:
Before you or l had been formally
| nominated in 1896, l received a request
from William 1yens, then che mberI ain
of the city and a close political repre-
sentative of Mr. Grace, at that time
mayor and head of the democratic
organization known as the county
democracy, to privately meet him.
This did in quiet restaurant 10 La
fayette Place. Mr.. Ivens insisted that
l could not become mayor of New York,
no matter how many votes were cast
for me, aud offered on behalf of Tam
many II ali and the county democracy,
that if | would refuse tOruu they would
select congressional district in VIII ch
the nomination of the two was
equivalent to an election: that l should
be at no expense whatever, but might
go to Europe CT anywhere [ willed and
when | came back l sho lid receive a
certificate of election. l said to him
finally: You tell me l capnOs posi- ,ly
receive the Office, yet ask me to draw
off Why, if l cannot possibly get the
Office, do you want me to withdrawn
Ibis reply was: You cannot be
elected, but your running will raise
hell
Il said: you have relieved me of
my embarrassment: l am decided l will
run
1T came out as Mr.. Ivens said it
would, but 1 did not complain. Com
plant at that time and under those
circumstances without any money and
with the press against US would have
been useless"
Mr. George quotes the speech he
made to his followers in his head
quarters in 1886 al d continues:
CATER eleven years [ have accepted
a nomination to stand for mayor of
Greater New York on the same prin-
ctples / stood for then. But l do not
think that the people of New York will
be again frightened with the idea that if
elected [ would destroy society and
feel that under present election laws
people can neither be frightened from
voting for me nor votes, after they are
cast stolen from me -

FL Paso, Texas, Sept. 25, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance Of
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
prohibiting the handling of freight Or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
| through that point, either having des-
tinatiOn in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
II. & L. G. and Southern Pacific; M. K.
& T., H. & T. @. and Southern Pacific:
G. r. l. & P, II. & T. @. aud Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. M. K. & T., II.
L. Q. and Souther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

ans Halt.

ans tubt.
Mr.. Kneshaw. who claims to be an in
spirational speaker entertained a small
audience yesterday afternoon at Bryan hall
under tho auspices of the Houston Spirit
officiating as master OF ceremonies.
Ii is claimed for Mr.. Kneshaw that he
speaks from inspiration. Subjects are sug-
gestcd to him and he simply goes into u
receptive state and is inspired to discuss
these subjects upon much higher plane OF
thought than he could possibly do in his
normal condition.
The subjects named for him yesterday by
Chairman Lock Mcdaniel were The com
ing universal religion of the world and tho
true worship OF God and Spiritual grew IN
and development"
Before entering upon the discussion OF
his subjects the speaker would close his
eyes and give sort of jerk or twitch of
his muscles. which denoted his passage into
an inspirational state. or his going under
the spell, as was explained TO the reporter
by one of the audience who was a firm be
liever in the inspira,onal idea. The speak
er, whether Inspired or not, certainly had
plethortc command OF words, but his
thoughts were too commonplace to suggest
the idea Of inspiration, After he had talked
about AN hour and half upon the sub
jects suggested. with some instrumental
music filling in the intervals, he closed
with giving some cyclomotric readings, in
which he drew some pictures of spirit be-
ings that were supposed to be lowering
about the audience, but whether or not
the pictures were recognized by anyone

CAPTAIN N'MILL,N'S NERAL.


The funeral Of the late Captain James A.
Mcmillan. who died Saturday morning
took place yesterday afternoon from the
Church OF the Annunca,lon corner OF,
Texas avenue and Crawford street, Rev.
Father Hennessy officiating,
Prior to the movement OF the funeral
party from the residence a, the corner OF
Milan street and Capitol avenue. many
friends of the deceased called and took
last view OF the face they had g, well
known IN years past and as the coffin was
being borne from the house to tho church
there followed a long line Of carriages and
buggies
AT the church the casltet was placed IN
the center aisle, while Rev Father Hen
messy said the burial for the dead and de
liyered a few remarks which -presenten a
lesson and called wildly To mind the fact
that IN HE We are In the midst OF death
He said.
The mystery Of mysteries is before you
and We are Witnesses that no one can es-
cape death. Every man wants u escape
death because he has soma knowledge o.
the past and an insight to the ever present
but the future is sim yelled and no living
mortal has ever penetrated II and returned
He may assume Indifference and say that
ne ~ prepared to die, but when the time
arrives there Is a trembling of his nmost
soul and desire to shrink from the awful
ness conveyed by the thought OF going
never to return. The lower animals have
no fear Of death; they commit no wrong.
because God has not impressed the dlf-
ference between right and wrong as He has
on the hearts OF men. | beg OF you In the
presence OF loved one to prepare your
selves for that inevitable Transformation
that is 20 come. and we should show to The
great g 0d that our acts are worthy Of
the lRrs that lie has written on our hearts
What rlu'd We not do for a man who here
below would lay down his life for us' We
would fctego any pleasure, any Indulgence
for hi@I. Christ died on the cross for us
and we should not neglect to do what would
be in accordance with the VIII OF God
the father. II Is not the purpose to fright.
en- by impressing upon your minds that
the Will of God is law, but so that you may
see what Is TO happen to every man and
prepare for It.. A few days ago this man
was In life aud possibly had not the slight
est thought OF death, single prayer for
the repose of the soul is better than a
million OF words, so ! call upon you to
pray to God that his soul may repose IN
everlasting peace. There is no man, care
