SAN JACINTO DAY

On this glorious day sixty-thre
years ago, General Sam Houston
with force of 1888 men at San Jacinto
routed the army of General Santa. Ann,
numbering nearly two Thousand men
and as they rushed into the fray
which lasted scarcely twenty minutes
from the Threats of the sturdy Texan
came that lusty cry, Remember tn,
| Alamo" So terrible was the
onslaught that the Mexicans gave wa!
on all sides and the decisive victor!
resulted in giving Texas her indie
pendence.
Houston's army before the battle
consisted of about 1872 men. He begar
q retreat back on the river Brazos,
fifteen miles above the town of San
Philip De Austin which General Hous.
ton had burnt.
The second day after, the site of
San Philip was occupied by the Mex
lean army. Gen. Houston stationed
three companies in the river opposite
the town to prevent their crossing
Santa Ana sent detachment of 500
men to ferry below San Philip. called
Fort Bend, and crossed them over and
then sent the remainder down to the
same place and crossed his whole
force.
Santa Ana stationed $500 men at

and one heavy brass nine FOUNDER and
pushed on to Harrisburg, in Buffalo
bayou. 35 miles from Fort Bend on his
way to Galveston Island, the only port
the Texans had in their possession.
Houston Immediately took up his
march for Harrisburg. It was learned
that Santa Ana was with the army in
person. The spies of Houston's army
that crossed the bayou. brought in the
colonel commanding the Mexican cav
airy, with q letter from, Gen. Csss to
Santa Ana stating that he would start
the next day from Fort Bend with $50
men to join him at Linch's ferry, on
Buffalo bayou.
Houston crossed the bayou. next day
with 250 and two four-pounders. The
men lay in the bushes on the road
to watch Cass and the $50 men who
we're expected to pass that day. This
was on the Goth. of April, 1886.
Houston picked his ground, placed
mis- men, gave them his orders, then
made them stack their arms, eat break

then we will come home, but NOT until
they do.
A German vessel was captured the
other day, and they had on board ship
$4,000 rifles for the natives. The whole
crew were put under arrest and guard. A
dispatch was sent from Japan by the Jap

ship was captured. This morning there

Friday, the 10th, we had hardly eaten
our breakfast when the call came to fall
in, and we were ordered across the Pasig
river to Join Gen. McArthur's brigade
We did as we were ordered, our march
being one of seven miles, and just as we
were becoming tired and sleepy, were
put into the charge, aud it was something
grand. Amid rain of bullets we drove
the rebels from their post after three
hours and half of hard fighting. l do
not know how many men were killed and
wounded on our side i'll this fight, or on
the part of the enemy, but we enjoyed the
satisfaction of knowing that we had
driven the natives from their positions
and occupied the field. About $50 ''re-
CALI was sounded, and as the sun was
going out of sight, prettier picture was
never seen than when the men were
leaving the field with the national colors
flying in every direction, the rapidly
kindling camp fires bnt adding an addi-

vising new ways to amuse her guests
and succeeds far beyond most other

amusing themselves and their friends

country seats in England, Is at its love-
Hest in the early fall, and just now ID
crowded with guests, mostly young
people resting after their designations
of summer and building up against the
ravages of a winter society campaign
yet to come. The Kneipp cure has
many devotees among Consuelo's
guests, and every morning they may
be seen walking barefooted on denny
lawn as large as city square. Some
where near 100 people are staying al
Blenheim, and over half that number
are taking the Kneipp cure, believing
that dew upon the feet in the morning
acts as a nerve tonic, freshening VI
the entire system for all day. The
time for the dew cure is between
and 6 in the morning, for after thai
the sun has absorbed the dew. The

imposes upon her guests may well b.

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
first time Is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords In agri-
cultural pursuits The mineral wealth Of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixed In the minds Of
strangers, crowding out all knowledge Of
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
is ever given to the Il, O0e miles Of irrigA-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 1000, 900 acres Of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached y ,0Oe, coo .
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is . profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads ell
other states in the Union In the output Of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled The
Fertile Lands of Colorado, !" has just been
issued by the passenger department Of the
Denver s. Rio Grande railway, and gives
detailed information Of the lands and their
location, and may be had upon application

TO BEAUTIFY DOORS,

It Is seldom that the door Of a room
is made a decorative feature. Too
often 1t is hidden behind a portiere-
an altogether meaningless arrange
ment when we consider that If only the
door were we'll made and skillfully At
ted 1t would successfully exclude all
draught, and the addition of another
screen would be quite unnecessary.
Since the fashion Of hiding the door in
this way has been adopted the archi-
trave has not been regarded as Of any
Importance, and consequently the
modern door is, as a rule, badly pro-
portioned and by no means well de-
signed.
During the periods from which we
take many Of our present best ideas Of
decoration-namely the Louis XIV,
XIV. and XVI.-doors were treated with
the utmost care and skill; not only
were they carved or painted, but their
locks and hinges were beautifully de-
signed and fnished-so much 80 that
an old French lock or hinge Is Of value
as a work of art. This Is as 1t should
be. The door should receive equally
a. much attention as the fireplace or
window. 1t need not be deliberately
carved, but 1t should be well designed
and furnished with appropriate look
ana hinges. Then, again, the door
should always be hung in such q man
ner that the part of the room in which
the occupant usually sits is screened,
and It should open into the room to
facilitate the entrance. and also give
the impression Of hospitality.
The hall door should be more sub
stantially built than that Of the room,
and looks best II plain in design and
solid In color. 1t should have bold
architectural holdings. but no sl&b-
crate decorative detail. and its look,
hinges and handle should be skiiltully
wrought in suitable metal, such a.
iron or bronze. In every case the
metal work should be appropriate 10

or bronze with oak. copper with ma
