| How the Movement Inaugurated by
the snIvRtionists IL Progressing.
Captain Mckenzie OF the Salvation Arm,
10 delighted ut the progress already madt
| in getting sufficient funds 10 start thu
cheap food and shelter depot so much need
ed in this city. Below is given list o.
subscribers, with the amounts contributed
| 1t is a pretty tidy sum. yet Captain NC
| Kcnzie says says 1t falls considerably short
OF the $1,000 required TO place this instItu-
| tlon on q firm basis
The only outlay Of money needed is the
amount mentioned to lease the neces ,ary
ground and place on IL a suitable building.
furnished IN a plain way. Once the build
ing is started IL is believed that II VIII re-
suit as 70 many similar institutions have,
in being self supporting.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday. Cap
tain Mckenzie said: II the people OF
Houston Would take the palms to under
stand this undertaking. and what burden
IL would remove from the shoulders of the
citizens, there would be no difficulty in
securing the needed amount. Instead OF
feeding hungry men at back doors. they
cen he given d ticket to tho shelter depot.
where they can secure q clean bed or a
meal by doing n little work at the woodpiic
or something else, and no man who Is .
man objects to earning heal or BED In
stead of receiving II as charity.
ut is thought that the people of our city
will study the merits of this proposal and
be ready 10 contribute what they can when
the Salvation Ariny's accredited agent calls
on them for subscription.
"Mr. S. NJ. Mcashan has kindly consent
ed to act as treasurer, aud subscriptions
can be forwarded TO him.

A Brief synopsis OF the Mig Socicty
Attraction.
A large number OF people seem to be
somewhat I'M doubt regarding the nature
OF the Ben Hur performance TO be given
ton ut the opera house on The 1ith and
18th instant. For their benefit the follow
ing extract from the Austin Statesman re-
garding the matter is reproducod
"As was predicted, the romantic panto-
mime ben Hur," arranged from Lew
Wallaco's great novel and given in the
interest Of the university campus and
athletic field funds was the most rsmarka-
Bile and beautiful spectacle OF tho kind
ever presented on IN Austin stage. Ac-
cciltlinted gesture took the place OF pleas
Ing voice yet tho pictures We're SO clo-
auent in their silence rs to spread n pathos
over the brilliant spectacle. The incidents
of the silent drama are wrapt IN aid
haze nj poetic fantasy through which the
characters walk with stealthy step. and
around which is a dim, soft light thai odds
sweetness to dignity. grace to strength and
charm TO beauty. From the lonely desert
scene. where is depicted the Meeting of
The magi tn the closing OF The alegory
where is pictured Iras' story Of tho Nile,
the rapidly shifting scenes passed before
the eyes OF a large and appreciaiye aud
icncc. The scene ut the Joppa gate. where
Joseph and Mary appear. the arrival OF
The wise men at the Damascus gate in their
search for Him who Ia born King OF tio
Jews" their appearance before Herod, aud
all those scenes made familiar through the
Scriptures, were wildly presented. Then
the scene shifted and ben Hur Is pre-
scented In the strength of young manhood.
I'm trf,
through all the adventures familiar 10 the
readers OF General Wallace's romantic and
beautiful story. from the center of Il happy
homo TO the loathsome ealleys. Then
comes the famous chariot race, which liz a
scene almost unexcelled In scenic panto-
mime. ending with the reunitng Of the
severed family and the dramatic farewell
OF Iras."
The east has not yet been completed. hut
those TO whom parts have already been
assigned ARE holding daily rehearsals. A
low rate of fnre FROM all the neishborlnp
towns has been announced by the railroads
and tho success Of the production Seems
assured.

this much Professor Starr has assured
| hilnsclf By previous obsorvation The
disease Is IS contagious as smallpox or
common lTpr0sy. Il takes three forms
which arc stages OF the same malady-red,
purple or black ana white. The red has
been supposed II mark ;hc beginning Of
pinto. Professor starr believes that the
white comes first, then tho red and last
the black. Many sufferers have only the
first or second forms and never contract
the third.
Among the JuavCs pinto IS accepted as
one Of the ordinary chances OF existence
No remedies are applied, and no physician
has ever como TO tho aid of the people
Professor Starr knows moro about the dis
ease than any other scientific authority,
and his observations have been made hith-

tion he expects TO MAKE a study Of the dis
ease which viii DO of great interest to

professor.
No, shall not contract tho disease, " he
says confidently. Contagious diseases
are not caught by people OF good physical

Tie Pulley Line PoIe.

The tall clothes poles for pulley lines
used III the yards of tenemeuts have
practically come into use within %
years. There are enough OF them stand
ing III the city now to make q respecta-
bic forest. They number thousands, and
their number is all the time increasing
Not every tenement hangs out its
clothes on 4 pulley line. Corner tene-
ments, for instance, occupy SO much of
the lot on which they stand that there
isn't room to set poles, and they hang
on the roof. And sometimes i'll tene-
ments III the middle of a block drying
arrangements are on the roof. But in
the case of = great majority of tene-
ments the tall poles are used.
Some of these tall clothes poles are
20 feet in length. They range from 30
feet mp and cost from $40 to $2j each.
On account of their shut in situation
and from the further fact that they are
usually set close to u fence they get
very little sunlight at the base, and so
are likely to be damp there and TO rot.
Poles Sc: IN paved or cemented yards
last longer than poles set in dirt yards
The ordinary life OF these tall clothes
poles Is five to ten years. In new work
and III renewals the poles set III this
city amount to some thousands in a
year.
The poles used are almost all of them
spruce, and nearly all OF them come
from Nova Scotia. New York Sun.

gagged in Il suit in chancery and had just
gained his cause. The expenses of the
suit, however, had swallowed up the
entire estate, the residue being merely

"All you get of the whole suit?''
echoed, with a puzzled air, convinced
that a suit in chancery was composed,
as other suits are, of coat, waistcoa5
and trousers. ''Why, father, those are

Tho Artist Monet.

Claude Monet, the impressionist art
list, who lives in the picturesque village
Of Giverny, i'll Normandy, is thus de-
scribed by a correspondent of the Bos-
ton Transcript: Monet is now a
wealthy man, but the house he has en-
iarged Is quite like that of the surround
ing peasants; white plaster, with red
tiled roof, narrow and low and long; so
long that it is il its length only that it
shows its superiority over its neigh
bors; for his family is large. But though
the house itself is simple the glory of
it is in its garden, and this Is truly su-
perb. Personally he is an interesting
looking man of about 60, strong and
rugged, the type of a refined peasant.
and it Is that that his clothes designate
him TO be, for he wears the big, clumsy
wooden sabots of the country, combined
with the finest linen, with hemstitched
rufdes ut neck and wrists
