There Is No City of Refuge on Earth

Such fierce light is now shed by the

is Butte going to be a one-cent town?
There are some indications that Butte
is drifting that way, and there are some
business men Of Butte who prophecy that
within a year the copper penny will be in
general circulation in the city Of Butte
II wasn't so many years ego that the
two-Dit (2s-ceuD piece was the smallest
coin that circulated in this neck of the
woods, and Butte got along very prosper
ously as a town in which there was no
circulating medium of q less denomina-
ton than q cents. Gradually nickels
and dimes came into circulation, and now
there is strong probability that before
long the copper cents viii be jngling in
the pockets Of Butte's citizens and will
be given over the counters Of Butte bus
mess houses IN change.
what makes the innovation probable
Is the fact that several Of Butte'g bust
ness houses IN the past year or two have
inaugurated the scheme Of selling goods
with an "odd" price-that is to say, they
have inaugurated the IS and Scent meth

tanning a two-cent postage stamp. and so
on. So far as known no business house
has yet inaugurated the plan OF giving
pennies, yet It IS manifestly more conve-
nient TO handle PENNIES than 70 handle
the postage stamps.
Another indcatio that the pennies are
soon to be ere IS found in the fact that
pennies are more and N ore frequently ten

Traitors Never Safe.

there is no hiding place i'm the world

their arrival to hunt him down contenting
themselves with instrucung the keepers
of the Italian restaurants to keep a
watch about four months later ON any
Italian who might dine there. They cal
culated that by then the temptation TO
meet a Countryman and renew his ac-
uuaintance with the dishes of the old
country would prove Irresistible. Three
months elapsed and the poor wretch,
weary Of hiding, stole from his retreat

ABOUT TOWN.

This is bad weather for spring

A representative of the propos-
ed Brownsville, Corpus Christi
and Galveston line is expected to
arrive here tonight, to confer with
Brownsville business men.
The soldiers at Fort Brown were
paid yesterday. The men are very
busy now making preparations for
their departure. They put a good
sum in circulation here yesterday,
settling up their local accounts.

ceived here stating that the steamer

company today photographed to
Morgan steamship headquarters in
New Orleans inquiring when She
would sail, but had received no re-
ply up to $3.50.
The HERALD omitted to state
yesterday that the troop which Is
about to leave Fort Brown will be
replaced temporarily by squad of
the Twelfth company, Coast AR
tillery, which will arrive shortly
from San Antonio. As soon as
the new Twelfth Cavalry regiment
is completed, it is is expected that
a troop of that regiment will be
sent to garrison this post.
The frst-fr of the anti-canteen
provision of the new army law in
Brownsville is a small beer saloon,
which was opened on East Eliza
beth street near the garrison short
ly after the post canteen was clos-
ed. The difference between the old
regime and the new was made plain
last night when some colored SOL
diers cOngregated there and im6ib-
ed too freely of the beer CD dis
penSed over its bar. They made
the neighbOrhoOd redhot with vile
profanity for a short while,
and a disturbance was begin
ming between two or three
drunken ones, when Chief Bates
stepped in and quietsd them. No
arrests were made, but the soldiers
dispersed without further trouble.
These soldiers have always hereto
fore been among the most orderly
and well-behaved of any that were
ever stationed here, and it was
doubtless only two or three of them
that were engaged in the offense
against the peace last night. The
incident shows how ill-advised was

BROWNSVILLE
STEAMER SERVICE.
Steamer Alpha To Be Run From
Galveston, Commencing A
Fortnight Hence.

O0lNCSIOu W OO
Brownsville by a steamship SER
vice. 1t has been announced that
the Brownsville Transport Com
pany is to institute such service,
commencing in about two weeks.
Mr.. Grove Reid, general manager
of the company, stated yesterday
that the steamer Alpha had been
purchased, and after completing a
contract which she has for hauling
lot of iron from Mobile to Apa-
lachicola she is to come TO Calves
ton. Mr.. Reid also stated that a
service of a round trip a week
would be about what the company
would expect to do.
The Alpha is a wooden steamer
of 154 net tons register, and is re-
puted TO be able to carry 300 tons
of freight on a draught of about
eight feet. This will hit the Browns
vile people about right, a. no
steamer in the cOaStwiSe trade ever
carries her full capacity OF dead
weight cargo, and it is possible
that the Alpha can therefore get to
Point Isabel without the necessity
of Tightening. The Alpha is a YES
sci of 121 feet on the keel and 131
feet over all, % feet beam and So
feet depth Of hold. She is expect
ed to carry 800 tons of cargo on a
draught of s feet and 80 tons on
6 feet, and at her maximum
draught give a good freebOard.
She is also credited with having a
capacity for 20 passengers, which
can be enlarged, and has easily
secured permission to carry $50
passengers on special occasions.
Mr.. r. II. Coleman, who has re-
Gently been negotiating with the
Corpus Christi people with regard
to the establishment of a steam
ship service for that port from
Galveston, was in the city yester-
day, but remained only short
time, leaving for Northern Texas
points, from whence he will go to
Mobile, where the Alpha is now
lying. 1t is expected that he will
bring her back to Galveston with
him.
In regard to the Corpus Christi
matter, Mr.. Reid stated yesterday
the people down there could not
obtain it unless they put up
bonus, as the amount of freight
they would demand and the long
channel to get to the town would
scarcely justify the maintenance OF
a service.
No move has been openly made
by the Corpus Christi and Calves
ton Steamship Company for the
purchase of a steamer. The steam.
er Cumberland, which was owned
and operated by the company IL
that service, is at the bottom oil
