The Deutsche Zeitung and Anzeiger yes

which will be OF startling interest to many
OF our readers and especially to the citi-
zens of Houston. Editor Thing writes as
follows:
The yearly report OF the city treasurer
has been published. It gives us a pitilul
picture of the extravagant squandering o.
the public funds during the last year in
the different branches OF our city admin
istration. In some departments the rum
ming expenses have been more than double
the budget made by his honor, the mayor
himself
"i'he following tables show plainly and
distinctly the incompetency OF the present

A Lesson of the World.

Recently young minister OF Salt
Lake. decided to goon a"high lone
some and he HE'D hlmsef to San
Francisco to have his time. After
an absence of a couple of weeks he
was discovered in hospital there
with a. full fedged case of jim jamsy
brought on by his protracted de-
bauch., Friends took him in charge
and finally Strengthened him up.
The Salt Lake papers took the mat
ter up, and plead with the people Of
Zion to take him back and condone
what he had done. Well, lot of
his churchmen decided to do it, and
he was welcomed back. with open
arms by men and women alike of his
congregation. He is now more in
favor than ever, and has had a rip
snorting old time besides.
The EXAMINER doesn't object to-
such forgiving, and it ought to be
more practiced than 1t is, but we
were just wondering what kind of
reception would have awaited a
young woman, who would do SUCH a
trick. Its gold dollars to copper
cents that no newspaper would have
taken up her cause, and no congre-
cation would have welcomed her
back. Nay, nay. But then this is
queer old world, especially if some
man, who processes to be follower
of the meek and lowEy Nazareth, rs
tangled up in it.

Albert g. Spalding, director of:
l sports at the PATHS exposit iti0n, who
has just arrived home from Europe,
furnished a statement relative to-
sports at the exhibition and IN Eu-
rope generally Mr.. Spalding believes
the internatiiona games III Paris vii
prove q great incentive to athletics in
B Europ The victories of the Amer
lean athletes aroused so much adj
miration that there is. a desire III Eu-
rope to develop athletes who can COM 1l
pete with hose OF this country.
In IN, regard to the criticisms OF the
French people for acknowledgement OF
the games, said Mr.. Spalding, 81
thin k only fair. to state that it was
not due to any desire to injure our
men, but to oinexperience in such matt
tiers. In their desire to treat all coun-
tries equally they may have discrim-
mated against America, as it was cer-
tainly very CALLING to athletes of 9th
er nations to see the Americans win
first second and third places il near
ily all scratch events. and when the
I shandieaps came along they fixed the
handicaps so that some other country
would win.
= travelled I've. e extensively through Eu-
rope, and I believe that the countries
that are to-day backward in track
and field sports, rowing, golf and
swimming, will in the course Of
few years show rapid strides in such
sports, and IL I think nothing will tend
to increase the interest more than
competitions between this country
and those of Europe
Mr. spalding heartily favors the
formation of an international athletic
union which Viii has been proposed. He.
belleVes America, which is the lead
ing ng athletic country of the world,
she should go into the new or rganization.
