to the Galveston News once week under

rose seems 10 be to say all the offensive
things possible about the silver democrats.
In his last screcd he sneers ut the personal
courage OF senator NILS. in utter ignor-
ance of that gcntieman's splendid war rec
ord, simply because the senator favors The
recognition Of Cuban Independence and thus
places himself IN opposition to the wishes
Of President Cleveland, Mooro's and the

night there was not a spoonful of ice
cream, a cookie or swallow of ginger

this place There were women in
bloomers and women in short skirts;
women who wore leggins and those who
didn't; giddy girls and demurrer young
ladies, but the majority of the crowd
was made up of young men. The soda
fountains and ice cream parlOrs were
attacked. Then at dinner time the no.
tells were besieged, and during the after
noon the ice cream stands had to with
stand another onslaught. Ice cream
freezars were turned until arms gave out
