TO CLAIM HIS BRIDE.

Mr.. Otto w. Andrae, formerly a
popular and accomplished jeweler-en-
graver of this city, but of recent years
a business man of Atlanta, Ga, is at
the Menger hotel, but very few of his
former friends who have seen him have
recognized him at first sight on &C
count of his extreme embonpoint. He
formerly weighed 120 POUNDS and now
he has gained 50 pounds, tipping the
beam at 172.
Next Wednesday evening at $3.50
o'clock, Mr. Andrae will again surprise
his friends this time by taking unto
himself a beautiful and charming
young wife, Miss Olga Rochs, who has
been for some years past the accom-
plished day operator at the Menger no.
tel for the Western Union Telegraph
company. The wedding will take
place at No. 412 Burleson street, the
home of the bride. After the wedding
a trip to New Orleans and Galveston
will be taken, after which Mr.. Andrae
will locate in business in Shreveport

fully acquainted with her bent. Her
friends knew that her years of reign
ing bellehood had been from her point
Of view most Improbable, and that
from them she had derived but mod
crate pleasure.
Her beauty had won many admirers
and suitors quite as many, but so plain
ly did she show her preference for men
of years and wisdom that one by one
they left her side. Miss Phoebe did not
| appear to even notice their desertion.
She was in the zenith of her beauty then,
tall, slender, supple, with delicate patri-
clan features, brilliant black eyes and
raven hair. Her complexion was olive,
with rich shifting crimson in her
cheeks.
Then, as until extreme adversely over
took her, she was noted for the taste
full elegance of her dress. She lacked
something of the softness of manner of
most southern women. More in evil
dence was a certain self-assertiveness,
tempered by good breeding.
She secured entrance into the law de-
partment with some difficulty, was
graduated from it with honor, and then
began the career which, so far as human
insight goes, is nearly at an end. She
made q few strong woman suffrage
specches-oEe at q Presbyterian Sun
day school convention IN Jefferson City,
where she startled her staid audience by
asserting that "Pau's words to women
amounted to nothing, for Paul was SIM
ply q crusty old bachelor, with no au-
thority to lay commands upon woman
kind" and another at the banquet of the
Mercantile Library association, where
she was toasted as ''our own Phoebe
Cousins"
Then she spread her ambitious wings
and few away to Washington.
There she was entertained by prom
inent families and lectured before vari-
Gus audiences on the cause she had es-
poused. She became q protege of
Susan .. Anthony, and the little circle
of agitators hoped much from this
promising addition to their number.
She has not walked for q year. Time
and care have deeply scanned her face
and robbed her cheeks of their color.
Her hands are gnarled and her limbs
drawn almost out of human semblance-
There are streaks of gray in her black
hair. Her eyes retain little of their
old fire. She is still close student of
affairs as mirrored forth in newspapers.
The disease which letters her is ar
ticulate rheumatism.

DON'T GIVE LIEN NOTES WHEN
BUYING PIANOS OR ORGANS.

Commission agents demand them to
satisfy the manufacturer, as they are
used as collateral, and must be met at
maturity After the lien notes are
given, the title to the piano reverts
back to the manufacturer, or holder
of the notes, unless they are paid.
Another point well worthy of consid-
GRAFTON, is the bill of lading. Demand
this before you receive the piano in
your house, and you can see by it
whether the piano comes direct from
the factory, and WHEN.
We do not demand NOTES when sell
ling pianos or organs; We have been
doing business in Texas FOR upwards of

MISS PHOEBE COUSINS.
Few Careers Have Been More Ro-
mantfc Than Hers.
She Was the First Woman Lawyer in
the United Stntes-Thinks Now
That Her Life Has Been
Vast Mistake.

Phoebe Cousins, the first woman law
yer of America, the first woman to be-
come q United States marshal, and for
many years known over the length and
breadth of the country as an ardent,
uncompromising public advocate of
woman's rights, is now seriously i'll at
st. Louis. Disease has laid low the
woman whose stalwart will carried her
through a successful career in the face
of opposition and obstacles of every
sort.
Few careers have been more romantic,
says the New York Herald. A beautiful
girl she was besieged with admirers,
and might have made many brilliant
marriages. At one time a vice presi-
dent of the United States and two
United States senators sought her hand.
But she disdained all offers. She had
her mission to fulfill, and ineXorably
pursued it until misfortune and illness
finally showed her the fallacy of
her course.
For Phoebe Cousins now believes that
she has been mistaken all her life. and
that the true aim of womankind is not
civil equality with man, but home and
motherhood.
Her parents were originally from the
east. Her father was among the most
prominent unionists of St. Louis, re-
ceived the appointment of chief of Po-
lice and provost marshal of the city
during the war. Her mother was the
head of the st. Louis branch of the san
itary commission and had charge of the
city hospitals.
AS a girl Phoebe Cousins was as bril-
liant as she was beautiful. She very
early showed her Discrimination, or
rather her contempt, for social life.
For several years she was the belle of
st. Louis. But none of her admirers
could make Roadway with her. 1t was
her favorite theme that women had a
higher mission in life than marriage.
When it was known that Phoebe
Cousins had entered the law depart
ment of Washington university there
was no surprise. st. Louis had become

is the possessor of no mean inventive
talent. He has given to the world near
ly so inventions, many of which are of
great value to the cotton spinning in
dustry. The product of the machines
has been doubled and the cost reduced
one-half by his improvements. More
power is saved by them than furnished
by the Merrimac river to the cities of
Lowell, Lawrence and Manchester.
Gen. Draper is interested in many large
corporations outside the cotton indus
try. He has made study of protective
tariff, and his writing on this subject
has been widely read. He is 55 years
old and entered the army at 10. He rap
idly rose, and when mustered out was
brevet brigadier general. He was a
member of the Fifty-third congress,
and leader of the high tariff ma
iority in the house. His service as
a member Of the foreign affairs com
mittee put him in direct line for a dip
lomatic appointment, and to this was
added the fact that he is possessed of
large wealth acquired as a manufacture
er of cotton machinery, so that he will
be enabled to undertake the social OBJ
legations at Rome in Il way that will
undoubtedly do credit to America.
During their four years of official resi-
dence at Washington the Diapers were
recognized leaders in the smart social
set, and were in no way dependent upon
their official position, but gave din
ners and dances, to which the best peo-
pie in town were only too glad to be
invited

mittee for Texas, should nave more Of
pull with the administration than
has State Chairman Green.
The whole thing in a nutshell is this
"a member of the national executive
committee is chosen from each state
to look after the interests of his party
in matters affecting the relations of the
state with the nation, while the duties
and powers of the state chairman do
not properly extend beyond the limits
of the state within which he represents
his party.
In other words, the province of the
state chairman is to get his party in
good shape for gubernatoriaI, legisa-
| tive. judicial and other elections with
which his state is concerned, while the
national committeeman is charged with
the conduct of campaigns when a ma
tional ticket is in the field. and gener-
ally to have more or less supervision
over congressional elections.
Hence it follows that the national
committeeman, especially in states
unTepreSented, or like Texas, very
nearly unrepresented, by his party in
Congress- should be advised with and
consulted as to Federal appointments.
If a state chairman can work in har-
mOny with the member of the nation
al committee so much the better for
all concerned, but it must be remem-
bered that the former cannot justly
assume the prerogatives of the latter
(and vice versa) further than justified
by courtesy extended to him.
This. as 1 said before, is the whole
thing in a nutshell" w. G.. +.

RELIABILITY VS.. CHANCE.

When buying piano or an organ
it would be we'll for the purchaser to
consider carefully the reliability of the
party, or house, he purchases from.
If you buy from a reliable house, you
are protected and if the instrument
they sell you, does not give satisfaction,
you'll find no trouble in adjusting the
matter. If, on the 9th r. hand, you
buy from travelling commission agents,
who are here today and away tomor-
row, you may find it difficult to find
such persons, should the piano they
sslJ you prove defective.

A COMPROMISE PROPOSITION.

According to a special to the Calves
ton News dated Washington, 23rd, a
compromise proposition has been sub
mitted by C. B. Yoakum to settle the
Green-Grant row over the pie counter
This proposition ives submitted to Mr.
Hanna and others and approved. The
main proposition is:
THAT in all districts in which there
had been Republican candidates for
Congress these candidates should name
the men for the offices in that district.
This, of course, means only the post
masters. This proposition was not
elaborated, and while there is in it an
intimation that the candidates named
shall be passed on by both Green and
Grant, the idea of those proposing it
is that the candidates spoken of shall
have the distribution of the offices in
their district. This would make A.
c. ThomDkins in the First district,
John, NJ. Claiborne in the Second dis
trict, w. D. Gordon in the Fifth dis
trict, T. A. Pope in the Seventh dis
trict. J. 7. Harris in the Ninth dis
trict, r. 3. Hawley in the Tenth dis
trict, H. Glass in the Eleventh district
and George H. Noonan in the Twelfth
district the distributors of aptronage.
The other districts had no Republican
candidates for Congress"
IN the districts where no Republi-
can candidates ran for Congress if
Green and Grant could not agree a ref
cree is provided.
1t is reported that Mr.. Hanna sent
word that the arrangement was all
right.
Chairman Green says it is all right.
Grant SAYS he knows nothing about it.
