1t was ascertsined that bnt one
was present of those who had been
assigned subjects, and it was decided
10 have question box until the
regular program could be followed
This took up the time until the noon
hour, aud much information was
elected in the answers.
This was followed by bountiful
repast spread by the ladies of which
all partook-
The afternoon program as carried
out was as follows:
Violin solo by W. L. Tuttle.
Solo by W H. Taylor.
select reading by Z. G. Gordon.
Tree Pruning by NJ. ID. Parmen-
ter was aptly illustrated and with
the discussion following certainly
was of great help to every tree plant
er present.
Various subjects were then brought
up, notably: ''Spring Wheat, when
TO plant;n Three Cent Hogs, can
they be raised at profity' Tomato
Cultures" '.Hot Beds, when and how
to make"
Onion Culture by Green Blosser

rs being out OF order.
That there is profit in raising rails
ing turkeys was made evident from
the figures produced. The only him
drance is the fondness the coyote has
for the fowl in its '.ripening" stage.
After all the labor and care bestowed
upon this American bird by the gen

come IN and tell how adyantageously

Ii was voted to hold another ses-
sion of the institute in four weeks at
Pleasant Valley. To hold it at that
place we believe will be a mistake
and hope the committee can arrange
TO hold it at Lamar.
NOTES.
The way TO make big profits on al
falfa is to feed it to sheep. Alfalfa
straw fed to sheep made So per ton.
II you want your boy to stay on the
farm treat him as partner in the
business, and let him share the profits.
Sweet Potatoes-As much at home
here as on the James river; as high
as 15 lbs frequently produced from
one bill; the wonst drawback is the
grasshoppers.
Onions the soil; mark
it off and plant seed; flood them and
then cover with fine manure from the
COW yard. One farmer sold Sl4 worth
from four rods.
Strawberries usually need
water before 1t is in the ditch. If they
have water at the proper time and
proper cultivation they will do well
here. They need winter mulching.
Fruit Trees Plant young trees;
all broken or bruised roots should be
cut of clean; plow furrow where
the row is TO be; set the tree as near

A COURT sTENOGRAPHER.
A Plan Looking to Securing One for
the District Courts.

The members of the Travis County
Bar association are very DESTROYS of
having stenographcr appointed for the
two district courts here whose duty it
shall be to take the full testimony of ell
important civil and criminal cases. They
do not care to have all the cases before
either court reported, but the exception
ally interesting ones they do want,
which would permit of one man filling
the position of stenographer for both
courts. With this object in view the as
ISOLATION has appointed committee to
devise some means of securing this
stenographer. Some of the lawyers are
of the opinion that the county commits
sioners court has the authority to en-
ploy and pay this stenographer, and the
committee has been instructed to investi-
gate as to whether or not the county
commissioners have not the authority
and will not employ this stenographer.
The stenographer is undoubtedly badly
needed and it is hoped that some means
will be devised by which one can be pro-
cured. but it is thought by quite num-
Der that the county commissioners have
no authority TO employ any such a per
SOnage.

UNCONSCIOUS ON HIS GRAVE.
Remarkable MisfortuneH That Have
Overtaken william +. Parkes.

Remarkable Misfortunes That Have
Overtaken William f. Parkes.
William F. Parkes, or that portion of
him which still lives, was found by
Henry Murphy, a grave digger, lying
unconscious upon his own grave in re-
mote part of st. Edwards cemetery,
Girardville, Pa, early in the morning
recently.
The unconscious man, who is nearly
20 years old, had but one arm, no legs
whatever, and portion of his left shout
der had been cut away by surgeons
knives. He had fallen from his little
wheel chair onto his own grave, and
had evidently lain there all night.
The dead portion of Mr.. Parker's
body lies buried in rosewood coffin in
the grave upon which he was found.
He had come, as was his custom, to dec
crate and care for his own grave, and
had tainted while trying to pull very
stubborn weed. Parkes was born near
Detroit. He had the most remarkable
series of misfortunes which probably
ever befell any person, and which have
resulted in the loss of the several parts
of his body enumerated above. He was
married four times and every wife is
dead

YELLOW JACK HAS NO CHANCES TO
INVADE TEXAS.

There Is very little danger OF an cpl
demic of yellow fever in this country
this season. 1t has developed in rather
n remote and isolated district of coun-
try, but the main reason why 1t VIII
not become epidemic is that 1t has OBJ
tanned Il footing in this country too late
in the season. Encountering, as it Will,
the vigilance of all the contiguous states
the high probability is that for the Jew
weeks before its arch enemy, the frost,
appears, it will he confined to the To-
cality of its origin, and if the account
of the exodus of the population of that
section of Mississippi is true, it will find
no material to work upon, that is, if the
population have escaped in time and
10 not carry the germs with them.
The only apprehension that may rea-
sonabiy be entertained upon the spread
of yellow fever is that the germs may
| be carried over and lie in allegiance until
| next summer, and then, reinvigorated by
the rays of the sun, begin again their
| work of destruction. If, however. in
telligent and scientific precautions are
taken to burn all clothing as we'll as bed
clothing and the places where the pa
tients suffered are thoroughly fumigated
the danger of its recurrence next sum
NOR will he reduced to minimum. AL
though, if the germ theory is correct,
the Inicrobe is very tenacious of life
and is very apt, If left unburned, to
resurrect next year and begin a propa-
CATION of its species that are quite as
prolific as the mosquito. Therefore
eternal vigilance is the price of safety.
AS far as we are concerned in Austin,
, we need have little cause of fear. We
believe that there never has been case
of yellow fever native in Austin within
the memory of the Oldest nhabitant.
Fortunately, also. Austin is the resident
city of DIR. Swearingen, the state health
officer, in whose skill as a physician and

JAPAN's ADOPTION OF THE GOLD
STANDARD.

Mr.. Hyrokichi Mutsu, secretary of the
japanese legation at Washington, ID. c.,
has written an interesting review of the
financial history Of Japan and the reason
for that government adopting the gold
standard, which goes into effect on the
LIST day of October, proximo. He says
the Abandonment Of silver, according to
the prime minister, was rendered neces-
sary to avoid fluctuations in prices of
commodities, and the injury to the ex-
port trade, resulting from constantly
shifting rates of exchange. The adoption
of the gold standard by Japan, the pre-
mier claims, ensures convenience in mer-
camille transactions with countries which
have similar system, as well as a bene-
fit to export trade, and that it will also
open avenues to an access Of capital. Mr..
Mutsu says Japan is a progressive coun-
try, and does not hesitate to adopt the
best features of western civilization
when the welfare of the country will be
promoted by a change of methods. He
also very philosophically remarks that
political ambition, party intrigues and
partisan fervor are poor grounds in the
settlement of a question, the correct So
luton of which requires dispassiona;e
judgment and the highest form of scieD-
tifc knowledge"

The Houston Post does Governor
O'Ferrall of Virginia great injustice
when it says "the OFerralls are follow
ing the Mahones" Governor O'Ferrall
has always opposed any kind of rephi-
alton, state or national, and the mere
fact that he was a sound money demo-
crat does not warrant the Post in max
Ing such an unfounded charge against
him. Governor O'Ferrall is from the
common people and first distinguished
himself as a gallant confederate soldier,
being frequently promoted for heroism
on the field of battle. His father kept
a small hotel ut the village of Bath, in
the mountains of what is now West
Virginia, and the son had but few ad-
vantages of education, but he has de-
veloped into tirst-class self-made man
and does not deserve the sneers of the
Post. He is brave, independent and
manly fellow, just such man as the
press of the country should hold up as
an example to the poor boys that have
to fight their own way rs he did.

SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
The Deaf and Dumb Asylum Being
Touched In Some.

A large force of men are at work over
to get the building in condition for the
opening of the fall term of school. The
Asylum management asked the last leg
islature for additional room for pupils,
but the legislature declined to give it 10
them. and as a result there are many
pupils being turned away for want of
room to accommodate them. The PIES
ent buildings are being repaired. how
ever out of the appropriation allowed
the Asylum, and everything will be in
readiness for the opening. 1t is oX-
pected that the full number of pupils will
be on hand at the opening of the insti-
tute. as the demands for admission are
largely in excess of previous years.

NEW YORK POSTAL PLAN.
brooklyn to BE Reduced to an Or
binary Numbered Station.

uroOkIyn to BE Reduced TO an Or
binary Numbered Station.
The post office department has prac-
tically completed the plan it will follow
with reference TO the revision of the
postal service of Greater New York
when the charter goes into effect ON
January 1 next.
This plan contemplates the submis-
sion of recommendation to congress
by the postmaster general urging re-
peal of the law making Brooklyn a
presidential office. AS soon as the law
is repealed an order will be issued de-
grading the presidential and fourth
class offices within the boundaries OF
Greater New York to substations. 1t
is proposed by the postmaster general
that provision be made for creating the
office of superintendent for what is now
the Brooklyn post office at salary
which will compensate him for his
work and responsibility. The post
master of Brooklyn receives $4,000 a
year, and if the wishes of the depart
ment officials are followed the super
intendent will not receive much less.
1t has finally been determined not to
recommend an increase of the $4,000
salary of the postmaster of New York.
Including Brooklyn, there are Fl pres
idential post offices within the boun-
diaries of Greater New York, with sal
aries amounting to SAP 900 a year. There
is large number of fourth-class offices.
and the postmasters holding these sit
uations draw less than $1,000 year.
"Under the law" said department
official, at will be necessary to make
all of the presidential and fourthrclass
Offices stations and substations. The
salaries paid to the agents must amount
TO less than 81, 900 year, so that if con-
gress fails to adopt the recommended
ton of the postmaster general the SUI
perintendent of the Brooklyn will evil
IDENTIFY receive only $780,"

energy and zeal the people of Austin
have perfect confidence. 1t must also
be remembered that this conscientious
physician has corps Of competent ply
sicians at every coign of danger, and
that the border of Texas along the
danger route will bristle with health
officers, all exercising caution to prevent
the dread disease finding Judgment in
the state. There is great consolation IN
the fact that science will have only a
short, sharp battle with yellow jack be-
fore its natural enemy, the frost, Will
catch 1t and nip II in the bud.

We are informed that Mexico is not
buying any cotton this season. Cotton
costs the Mexicans 7 cents in good money
in this country and when they get it to
Mexico, the freights etc, run up the cost
to 20 cents in Mexican money which they
cannot afford to pay and the cotton mills
of Mexico are therefore shutting down.
1t will be remembered that last summer
Senior Romero claimed that manufacturers
made money in silver standard countries
but it seems that the exchange against
Mexico has finally become, by the fall in
silver, too great for them to engage in
the manufacture of cotton cloth. -.
