erat who feels as he felt whe he said,
For one, do not believe 1t possible

mands the unqualified free coinage o;

must abandon this extreme demand"
We do not know half dozen Demo-
Gratis at character and standing who
indorse the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. It was injected into the Chi
cago platform by the extreme Silver
ties OF the west at the sacrifice OF the
party, We never pretended to indorsa il
and never went farther than 70 adyo-
cate the re-enactment OF the law re-
pealed surreptitlously and fraudulently
IN 1873. We supported the nominees
made at Chicago, because they We're the
nominees OF our party, remembering
the disasters that followed the breaking
up Of the Charleston convention in 1860,
and preferring the defeat OF the party
temporarily to the disasters that would
follow It's dissolution.
The next Democratic national conven-
tion will have to modify It's platform ~
regard to the free coinage OF sllyer,or It
will encounter another defeat. We viii!
preserve our allegiance TO Democracy,
even " we are sure OF defeat, for these
are principles more important than any
monetary questions involved, and to
these we adhere.

THE PROPOSAL.

Its Evolution as Described by Famous
Authors - SOMETHING for backward

Since the time when God made Eve
90 be companion to Adam, the destiny
of lovers has awaited the proposal Of
man The sweet old story has been told
again and again, by old and young, by
lips tremulous and lips firm. Fiction,
the mirror Of life, has pictured Tor us
the ncctIng blush, the trembling voice,
the clasped hands.
With the progress Of the world and
the evolution Of the novel the form Of
the proposal has changed from grave to
gay; from the stlltcd and courtly to the
most delightfully."- off-hand declaration.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

San Antonio, Texas, December 26, 1897
Notice is hereby given that i will
open the books of my office for the
registration of all voters in the City
of San Antonio, County Of BeSar, and
State of Texas, according to law, on
the first Tuesday in the month of jan
uary, A. D., 1897, the same being the
fifth day of said month of January,

city, on Military plaza, and that will
keep same open for twenty consecu-
tive days, Sundays excepted, from
eight 81 o'clock a. M, until eight 90
o'clock p. N. each day.
l hereby respectfully request those

beers Of the street on which they re-
side, and the number of the ward in
which they live, also precinct, as by
so doing they avoid unnecessary delay
TO themselves and others and thus

though it should cause the eternal DAM
nation of the whole household" are in
cluded in the terrestrial hell-builders.
Especially is devout supplication
needed because of the fact that society
is so full of artificialities that men are
deceived as to whom they are marrying,
and no one but the Lord knows. After
the dressmaker and the milliner and the
jeweler and the hair adjuster and the
dancing master and the cosmetic art
have completed their work, how is an
unsophisticated man to decipher the
physiological heiroglyphics and make
accurate Judgment of who it is to whom
he offers hand and heart? This is what
makes SO many recreant husbands.
They make an honorable marriage con-
tract, but the goods delivered are so diff
ferent from the sample by which they
bargained! They were simply swindled,
and they backed out"
DR.. Talmage insists that there is in
all the world some one who was made
for you as certainly as Eve was made for
Adam. All sorts of mistakes occur, be-
cause Eve was made out of q rib from
Adams side. Nobody knows which of
his "a ribs was taken for the nucleus.
If you depend entirely upon yourself
in the selection of wife, there are
twenty-three possibilities to one that
you will select the wrong rib"
Consequently, DR.. Talmage argues
that man should be both prayerful and
cautions before entering on the con-
nubial state, and, above all, "let not a
question of this Importance be settled
by the celebrated match-makers -four
ishing in almost every community. De-
pend upon your own Judgment, divinely
illuminated. But prayer about this will
amount to nothing unless you pray soon
enough"
The doctor is serious when he says:
Wait until you are fascinated and the
equilibrium of your soul Is disturbed by
a magnetic and exquisite opalescence,
and then you will answer your own
prayers, and you will mistake your own
infatuation for the voice of God"
The woman of mans choice must not
be scoffer at religious things. A man
shouldn't make a mistake and make a
choice by the eye instead Of by divine
wisdom. "As far as can analyze it,"
concludes the doctor, sincerity and
earnestness are the foundation of all
worthy wifehood. Get that and you get
all. Fail to get that and you fail to get
nothing but what you will wish you had
never got"

time desired. As the cord tightens
and is pulled downward by the plunger
it slowly opens the compound lever,
which, at certain angle, perfectly adj
justed, pulls bolt, and the great dead
weight weighing twice as much as
the doomed man, is released. As the
big weight falls down grooved track
to the ground under the building, the
rope running over pulleys on cross
beam overhead jerks the condemned
man seven feet into the air. On the
drop there is rebound of the body,
and the victim hangs suspended, with
his feet about two feet above the floor.
The machinery is inclosed in a closet
in a corner of the execution chamber.
The only part of the apparatus seen by
the condemned man is the rope and
the moose. He does not see the platform
which sets the machine to work by his
own step upon it. The machine works
noiselessly, and the weight falls upon

Old Pear Trees in the West.

Indiana and Illinois claim that they
have the oldest pear trees in the west
in their respective states. There is one
near Springfield, Ill.,, known locally as
the great Sudduth pear tree, which
is so feet in height and ten feet in cir

old. This does not begin to compare
with some Of the old pear trees planted
by the early German and Swedish set
tiers in the vicinity of Philadelphia,
but it is remarkable for country set
tied so comparatively recently as what
was but few years ago known as the
"faP west"
