FRUIT BEARING.
4 Young Georgia Evangelist at the
Morning Meeting.

The audience that assembled at Tomlin-
sen Hall at 1890 o'clock was small in num-
Der on account of the heavy shower that
came about the time for the meeting to
commence. The speaker was NJ. =. Will
liams. Of Atlanta, Ca, a young evangelist
who deVotes his time chiefly TO conducting
union revival services. The audience lis
tened 10 him until 1890 O'Clock with un-
abated interest.
The evangelist based his sermon on the
first Psalm, developing the thought con-
tained in the words: "A righteous man il
like a tree that bringeth forth it's fruits tn
it's season" The Introductory part OF tha
address took up about half of the speakers
remarks, and was devoted TO the Bible,
what II is and how its dark places can Do
made light and how il can be understood.
The mission of Christ" said the speaker.
'is TO bear fruit. The righteous man IL
like tree. and is destined for frutage."
The speaker said the church has largely
degenerated into nothing but social clubs,
where religion is left out. the prayer meet

DENVER, Col, Aug. 22-The Denver

sensational resolutions regarding the great
coal miners strike. After caustic reference
to the growing tendency toward govern
merit by injunction" and the "usurpation
of highways by the hirelings of capital"
the resolutions say:

near at hand when peaceful methods on

those mines issued notices that the call was
unauthorized and that there would be no
such meeting
The agitators sent to this region have
been unable to get pit committees TO call
a meeting. and the mines are working
steadily. During the strike in 1894 many
important contracts were lost by operators
of this region and work has since been
poor up to the outbreak of the strike In
the Pittsburg region. since which time the
mines here have been working on practi-
cally full time and contracts that We're lost
are being regained. Should the miners here
conclude TO strike now these contracts and
others would be lost to them and less work

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 22.-The min

Bridgeport, across the river, have decided
to return to work Monday morning. and
their move may result in resumption at

are the moving cause in getting out the
peddling bank miners. win probably march
to the river front and force the peddling
bank men to come out again ON this side

but there is a feeling that it cannot be
maintained much longer. Among the miners
and their sympathizers the hope is gener-
ally expressed that the strike may be set

NO WHEAT FOR EXPORT
RUSSIA MAY SOON PROMULGATE A
PROHIBITION DECREE.
Her Crop Is Small, and None Can BE
peans Must Look to America.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-The Press
will say tomorrow: Word has been re-
ceived at this port that the Russian gov
ernment is meditating the PRONUNCIATION of
decree prohibiting the export of wheat,
owing to the small crops in southern Rus
sia, and this report is causing some un-
easiness to those interested The effect of
this contemplated action would be to
create a strong demand for tonnage in the
Black sea, so that as much grain as is
possible may be shipped before the pro-
h!bitiOn takes effect. This in itself would
be calculated to force up freights on YES
sells loading here. A well-known shipping
man in this city said that this contem-
plated action Of the Russian government
makes it an almost settled fact that Eu-
rope must look to the United States alone
to ill her orders for cereals. Just what
increase of business this means for Phila-
delphia, New York and Baltimore alone is
incacuable. The exports of grain from
Philadelphia, which already are the largest
record will reach figures in excess Of
what has been the most sanguine eXpecta-
ton of shippers. Within the next few
weeks cargoes of grain will be shipped
from here to ports in the Adriatic sea, to
st. Louis du Rhone, Marseiles and Alex
andria Egypt. This in itself serves to con-
firm the rumored prohibitOry export law
of the Russian government for unless some
thing of the kind is contemplated it would
be an unusual action to make such imports
from ports at such a distance. Among the
fixtures made for Mediterranean ports may
De mentioned the British steamship PictoU,
which loads either here or at Baltimore,
fourteen thousand quarters OF gram lor
cox for orders at shillings and pence,
with option of .Marseilles or ST. Louis du

The French Duty on Cereals.

PARIS, Aug. 22.-The Eclair and other
papers say that official circles regard it use
less to suppress the import duty on wheat,
and assert that Nj. .Meline, the premier, has
made no special declaration on the subject.
The Temps says he has given the matter
close study, but at the Ministry of Agricul-
ture, which does not appear TO share the
excitement of the newspapers, there is no
disposition either to suppress or to lower
the duties on cereals The Republique
Franchise says it learns that the govern
ment has resolved not to accede to the de-
mands for the abolition of the duties.
LONDON, Aug. pa dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Paris says: The rise in
the price of bread is the cause of no little
agitation. There is even talk Of summonine
a special session of the Chamber of Depu-
ties to discuss the matter. Market rigging
is an important factor in the rise. At Mar
SeilleS the popular excitement is much
greater than here and the mayor of the
city has issued a provisional scale of prices
The cause of the rise there is the scheme
of a syndicate of wheat merchants to force
the government to reduce the wheat duties
The price has risen since last night To-
day the importers and millers at Mar
seil1eS held long conference, and such IS
the popular feeling that the authorities are
taking steps to prevent an outbreak.

NEW LICENSE LAW.

Cuero Star.
The new occupation tax law
passed at the special session
of the legislature will go into
effect Monday. 1t is a drastic
thing and the Star would adj
wise the merchants and bust
ness men of Cuero to procure
a copy and study it carefully.
If you have not seen the law a
few pointers may be of value
to you.
In the first place an annual
tax of $40 imposed on every
person selling cigarettes. This
is in addition to the occupation
tax he may otherwise pay.
Better go to County Clerk
Baker today and take out a
license. If you should sell a
box of "cofin nails" Monday
without the license you will be
liable to a fac of $40 or $50.
which it is the duty of County
Collector Graham to collect.
Theatrical entertainments
where an admission fee is
charged will also have to dig
up a fee or be liable to a fine.
In cities of from 5000 to 5000
population the tax is s. for
each entertainment, which goes
to the state.
Cotton buyers, other than
merchants who pay a general
occupation tax, will have to
contribute $40 a year for the.
privilege OF the carrying on
their business.
The law is most sweeping
and embraces nearly every
kind of business. Ten pin all
leys are taxed 500 each, which
IS an increase over the law
heretofore. Nothing is allow
ed to escape, and to be safe
the business man should get
a copy Of the law and see how
it applies to him.

THE HERALD would say moth
ing against the sudden pFopo-
siiion of Col. Uriah Lott to
build a railroad from Victoria
to Brownsville. Personally, a
road to Victoria would please
the editor of this paper more
than one to any other place.
But our citizens should not be
Influenced by Col. Lofts
scheme in their consideration
of the proposition which has
been made by DR.. Gums COM
pany. 1t is certain that Col.
Lott cannot possibly make US
a fairer proposition than that
which is now pending. And it
is equally certain that the Chi
eago. st. Louis & Texas Air
Line railroad will be a much
more important line than the
one which Col. Lott proposes
to build. If our readers will bat
look at a map of Texas they
must see what a straight and
direct line woulo run through
the middle of the state from
Brownsville through San An
tonic to Henrietta, and then
take a map of the United States
and Mexico and see what a re-
markably straight and direct
line would run from Chicago,
the great metropolis of the north
west, through st. Louis and
Cofeyville, Kansas, and on
to Mexico City by way of
San Antonio and Brownsville.
Who can question that such a
route would become one of the
greatest Of our international
trunk lines? But this is not all
that should be considered
There is every reason why We
should promptly and speedily
close the contract with the pre-
sent company, which is already
organized and incorporated an
der the laws Of the state, with
the required amount OF capital
paid up, with everything in
working order and ready to
complete the proposed line 10
less than three years, rather
than wait upon the uncertainty
Of possible future propositions
to build us a railroad some
where else. Nothing is certain
but the present. Let us grasp
the opportunity now offered Us
for the acquisition of the new
life which alone can save
Brownsville from the utter des-
olation which is sure to grow
upon our little city, unless a
railroad be built to connect it !
with the outer world. The |

fair proposition. Let us accept
