made no arrest of a person or persons

though quite In keeping with AFFAIRS OF the

outspoken In their opinion as 10 who is
guilty OF the deed.
10y TINS time, however, It is known tina,
the deed was not the work of one man

have knowledge of the case say that the

BEACH HOTEL TRoIfnI.ps.

Regret was expressed on every hand
today when the announcement was made
that the Beach hotel would not open this
closed was stated In The Post this morn
ing
Like all questions at issue, there are
two sides to this matter. Or. W. C. Fisher.
city health officer, when seen today, said:
mo city in the Union would submit
TO having St werage emptied into the vicin-
ity OF one of the most popular places for
bathing in the United States.
II can tell you in very few words why
the pipe should not be relald. In the fr1t
place, it is absolutely unsanitary. Second
ly, it is absolutely disgusting and dis
graceful for money making corporation
Tor tho sake Of dollars and cents to be
willing to thrust such nuisance not only
On the citizens of Galveston, but on the
visiting public.
THE management of the Beach hotel
for the past three or four months has b en-
notified by this department that the pipe
could not be laid In that locality. Yet they
have aHiompted to violate the orders by
clandestinely laying the pipe in the wee
sIna hourS OF the morning Wntn every
body was asleep but the police officials
and the health department, who promptly
stopped them.
This pipe has been source Of gre at
annoyance to the health department, 1t
has been complained of by bathers, driv
ers on tho beach and by the propreiors II
the different bath houses, both stationary
and rolling On several occasions we have
found the pipe broken off, exposed nsar he
waters edge at the beach, and with the
necessary result OF such exposure
This is his side of the story although
Dir. Fisher did not say why he permitted
the pipe to drain into the gulf for a dozen
years past without objection from his de-
partment.

TEXAS EXHIBIT Al OMAHA.
MINOR Van Dcrvoort Thinks the Ex-
position IL IL Great opportuni.y

Inc following letter, addressed to Hon
Paul Van Deryoort at Omaha, is worthy of
careful reading in Texas:
Omaha, Nob.. June lS.--The question of
the state of Texas making a good showing
IN the bureau of bee industries at the
lfansmississippl and International exposi-
tion now open In Omaha Is OF more i'm .
portance than might be imagined. Never
before IN any OF the great expositions have
the bee industries been so literally doalt
Win or been given so fine an opportunity
for showing their products as at this expo-
sltlon. Here an entirely separate bureau
has been established, with d view of con
venlence, light and ventilation for this in
dustry, located in a spacious building, and
presided over by a practical bee keeper,
VINO for the past twenty yeara has made
the aplary and eNpositions study, and
who knows what each exhibitor desires,
and will strive to make their stay o. the
exposition as pleasant and proiltanie as
possible.
In all the great Northern country the bee
keeper seeks his early queens from the
sunny Southland, and Texas is furnishing
hundreds of thousands Of these early
queens annually and should Increase these
sales very materially by making credit
able exhibit and becoming acquainted with
the thousands of Northern bee Keepers who
VIII visit this exposition during t he months
yet TO follow. So fine an opportunity
never presented itself for the industry OF
any State as now lies open to the State of
Texas by way of showing up their wonder
full bee industries at this exposition, aud
one which VIII bring ample relrns for
years to come.
The main idea OF these expostionB is TO,
by showing the industries Of different To-
calities, thus bring the producer and con-
sumner of the great Transmssissippi terri
tory In closer touch, with the end in view
that all may be mutually benefited. This
can not be done unless we place on exhibit
tion such of our products as are likely to be
desired by those who attend these exposi-
tions. For the statistics OF the bee inter-
ests Of the State OF Texas take pleasure
In referring TO Mr.. Il. j. Achley OF Bee
Vile, Texas. who could doubtless be able "a
give facts and figures relative to this in
dustry in Texas that would in the main be
utterly astounding, and which had here
tofore been unthought and unheard OF by
many within the State. Very respectfully.
