A Peaceful Blowout.

The McGinty club will give another
of its typical blOw-Outs about the
twelfth of next month. President
Reckhart said in talking to. the HEE-
AIDS man: I'VE will give blow
out in celebrating the peace protocol.
The entertainment will be given here
at the club house and grounds. There
will be most elaborate lunch OF hard
tack and hot water, and those coming
needn't be afraid of having cramps
fran the effects of anything cold in
their insides.
'The program arranged by the band
will be exceptionally good. We will
have other music by the Concha Ty-
pical Mexican orchestra, and on the
side some of our theatrical aspirants
will give few amusing parts from
some Shakespearean play, which no
doubt will bring forth bowls of ap-
plause from the boys in the audi
ence.
"Among other things on the pro-
gram will be some attempts made by
our vocal contingent to amuse US and
we will try and give everybody plenty
to eat in the way of bareback. Some
one mentioned a fatted calf barba-
cued, with relishes and soda water to
wash it down with, but as the soldier
boys have struggled so hard at the
front and have had forsthe most time
to live on hardtack, l think we ought
to fOregO the pleasures of the fatted
calf for once, though those who sug-
gested it are bringing some very hard
pressure to BEAR

The Arrest of Smith.

Yesterday morning as told in yes
terday's HERALD, negro named
Crute Smith WAS arrested here by De.
putty Sheriff Will Ten Eyck. on charges
from the officers of Greenville, Texas.
AS soon as the officer had made tie
arrest he wired the sheriff of Hunt
county that he had arrested the negro
and in short while an answer came
telling him to held the prisoner as he,
the sheriff, would come for him on the
first train, which will put him in here
tomorrow.
A reporter called on Smith at the
Jail and asked him about his case 1t
was found that Smith had been arrest
ed for peddling liquor without Ii
cense and after hearing was released
on bond to the amount of Sl25. 1t was
this bond which he jumped, and he
will be taken back tomorrow to answer
the charges that stand against him.

The London Times On The War.

The London Times, in u special
article reviewing the operations of the
Hispapo-Americanw war, says:
The fact that the war was brought
TO such q speedy end was due prima-i-
ly to the single cause of Spain's
naval collapse. The vigor shown
by the American naval authorities
and the high quality of the
naval officers-euslities inherited from
the mother country-sufficed to eoun-
teract the effects of America unreadi-
ness. The msnner in which large
number Of warships and auxiliary yes
sells were rapidly equipped and man
ned, together with the conspicuous
ability with which the great naval
forces, largely eXtemporiZed, was sup
piled and handled Is extremely signifi-
cant.
alt is impossible TO speak 10 the same
terms Of the military measures. The
causes OF the failure of the war depart
ment to rise to the emergency are not
yet fully known. 1t will be interesting
to see whether the Americas people
will demand an Investigation. Before
Santiago. a. before Sebastopol, in the
Crimeau campaign, unnecessary suffer-
ings and hardships were inflicted upon
the troops, and in both cases disaster
was averted by the gallant of the Of
fcers aud men.
"While It is clear that the command
OF the sea is more than ever important.
naval bombardments OF coast defenseS
are less effective than they were in
Nelson's days. That they were recent
ly attempted on a considerab scale is
probably due to the desire to give Anne
rican seamen and gunners practice
rather than to any special prediction
the part OF American naval officers"

asked her to kiss him. He admitted
that he was fond of children, and that

Messenger Boy in Trouble Again.

ing q police whistle. He blew the
whistle twice and had the night force
on the move trying to catch him.
They didn't know where the sound
came from, but finally located him. Of
ficer Geo. Cole took the blesome
kid down to the calaboose and there
he stayed all night to give him time to
repent of his folly.
The police are onto these messen-
gers and have been for two weeks:
they are always causing the police
trouble. 1t was these same boys who
were causing the explosions in the al
ley of that block. The police thought
it was some one shooting gun and
when one of these reports would come
from that direction the officers would
rush around there and there wouldn't
be soul in sight. They tried it once
too often and the police found them
out. They would go upstairs and
throw out through the lattice work,
dynamite crackers that explode like q
pistol.
The officers think that young Mar
quette will be made an example of and
be fined, for as one of them said, I'VE
have arrested them two or three times
and each time let them off and they
have got so they believe they are toe
young to have anything done to them
but we will fool them trip or two.''

this morning, but he was let off until

Echoes from the Convention.

Four of the delegates from FL Paso
to the republican convention which hiss
been in session at Fort Worth return
ed on the Texas and Pacific this morn
ing and all report a most satisfactory
convention.
Those who returned were Captain
Moses Dillon, M. G. hurry, Major M.
c. McGlennon, and Henry F. Bloom.
All seemed glad to get back to the
cooling atmosphere of our town as
they report Fort Worth to be swelter-
ing.
Mr.. hurry told q reporter that every
thing was settled just as it was wanted.
He said: eve gave the temporary
Craftsmanship to Ferguson to please the
Hawley faction and that fixed things
all right. The result of this conven-
ton showed to the republicans of tn
state that the complexion of the party
in Texas is getting lighter in color all
the time and by 1900 we will be all right.
"The increase of the party for an
off year will be very perceptible at the
election this fall, when it is thought
that the result will be surprisingly larg-
er.thsn was ever had by the party in an
off year before.
'This year." said MIR. hurry, "we
think that we will send four republi-
cans to congress from this state in
stead of one as has been the way here
tofore. We expect Mr.. Hawley to
succeed himself. and we think that we
have dead sure thing that three 9th
ers will accompany him to Washing
ton. Oh, we are going to surprise the
people this fall
The reporter called on Collector Dill
Ion and asked him about his trip, but
that gentleman had his desk piled full
of mail which had accumulated during
his absence, and in response to the re-
porter's questions about the conven-
ton said: '.Well, we had q good con
vention and everything is as good as we
could wish. would like to give you some
time to tell you of the convention, but
am up to my neck with work SO you
will have to excuse me this morning"

For some time past the ap-
preaching coronation of the young
queen of Holland has been

Large parties are organizing in Lou-
don and elsewhere, the steamship
lines have announced low excursion
rates, and it is expected that the lat
ter part of the present month will see
more English visitors in Amsterdam
and The Hague than ever before. The
Prince and Princess of Wales, accom-
panied by large and brilliant suite,
will represent the queen. and as GUS

official announcement that the Prince
of Wales would present in behalf OF
her mojesty q magnificent Indian brac-
elect set with diamonds and rubies of

what surprised this week when the
fact leaked out that the bracelet is one

presented to the queen by one of the
Indian princes.

The opening prices in July proved to be the
highest of the day. Reports from the winter
wheat states said that little or no damage
had resulted from last nights freeze. APP
prehension on this score being removed the
