trial proceeded, The plaintiff seeks to re-
cover of the defendant estate, $42S. 88
which it is alleged that Ormond w.
Fletcher, merchant at North Chester,
received OF Mrs, Sarah f. Stoodley, "as
the bailiff and receiver of the said Sarah A.
Fletcher" Sarah A, Fletcher was the sis
ter OF Ormond W., ancient and unmarried.
Both Sarah A. and Ormond w. are dead.
The transactions took place in 1888 and
1889. The defenses are payment and
statute of limitations. The parties seem to
be cropping in the dark to get at the facts,
inasmuch as the tran sactions were ten years
ago or more, and the parties to them are
all dead. W. b. G. Stickney and George
l. Fletcher for plaintiff Gilbert A. Davis
and George A. Weston for defendant.

Dewey OutdOeS Them All.

George Washington is now hopelessly
to second place. with Abraham
Lincoln a bad third, for having babies
named after them. Dewey did it. The
number of newcomers named after the hero
Of all heroes i, up in the thousands. 1t has
been figured out that, according to the
ratio in the country of seventy million peo-
pie, the number of the admiral's name
.akes should reach about six thousand now.
Not only the boy babies are eligible to the
honor, but many girls have been named
Georgiana Dewey, and few have been
called Dewlana. There is one in New
York called Dewiana Dooley. When the
admiral reaches that city the bureau Of
vital statistics will have a rubber stamp
made, and it is not improbable there will
be regiment of young Deweys in baby
carriages to greet him. This is another Of
the penaltie, of fame.-Troy Times.

A Wish.

The following verses selected by the late
Mrs. G. b. Underhill and sent to her
mother some years ago express a wish
that her friends gratifed by placing "pan-
sizes in bountiful measure" in her casket.
wish you would cover me over with pansies,
When you have made me re ady to 60
Into the arms of earth, who will wrap me
Warmly about with roses or snow.
The roses are far too red and the lilies
Are far too pale, but the pansy dye
Is the very hue of my heart, 80 lay me
In bed of pansies when l die.
Puck the pansies in bountiful measure,
Flowers have always loved best to hold
Shower them over bosomsand pillow,
Heart's-ease in purple and white and gold

NOT a Unit Upon the Wisdom of the
Quarantine.


The doctors OF Houston are not at all
unanimous in their sentiment concerning
the wisdom or the necessity for putting on
the present quarantine against new Or
leans.
The Houston board OF health tried yes
terday to arrange for a conference with
State Health officer Blunt upon the sub
he could not come to Houston, but he
would be pleased to meet any member OF
the board who would come to Austin.
Thus no conference was held and devel-
opments at New orleans are being watched
with interest with the hope that matters
may so adjust themselves there as 10 re-
move the necessity for a further quaran-
tine.
with the view OF getting some opinions
from the doctors a Post reporter sought
some of them at random yesterday, finding
but a small number OF those he went after
in their offices. several refused TO talk, hut

SAYING GOODBYE.

The Turk will solemnly cross his hands
upon his breast and make a profound
obeisance when he bids you farewell
The genial Jap will take his slipper off
as you depart and say with a smile:
''You are going to leave my despicable
house in your honorable journeying-I re-
gard thee"'
In the Philippines the parting benedic-
ton is bestowed in the form Of rubbing
ones friends face with ones hand.
The German ''lebe wohl' is not particu-
larry sympathetic in its sound, but it is
less embarrassing to those it speeds than
the Hindoo's performance, who, when
you go from him, falls in the dust at your
feet.
The Fiji islanders cross two red feath-
ers. The natives of New Guinea exchange
chocolate The Burmese bend low and
say 'Hib! Hibr'
The "Auf wiedersehen' of the Austri-
ans is the most feeling expression of
farewell
The Cuban would consider his goodbye
anything but a cordial one unless he was
given a good cigar. The South Sea island
ers rattle each others whale teeth neck
lace.
The Sioux and Blackfeet will at parting
dig their spears in the earth as a sign
of confidence and mutual esteem. This is
the origin of the term 'tburying the toma-
hawk
In the islands in the straits of the
Sound the natives at your going will
stoop and clasp your foot.
The Russian form of parting salutation
is brief, consisting of the single word
''praschai' said to sound like a sneeze.
The Otaheite islander will twist the end
of the departing guests robe and then
solemnly shake his own hands three
times.
