green vines. After We had looked
at the flowers we bid fare we'll to the
penitentiary and it's Inhabitants
When we got back to the city W.
went to the State House where We
were met by Mr.. Jesse CAN'T, who
took us around and showed US the
House of Representatives and the
Senate Chamber. They were pre-
pairing for the State ball In tho House
of Represe natives, and the Senate
Chamber was full of books so we did
not..ge, to 60 into either Of them.
Mr.. CAN'T showed us some very in
teresting relics which were very val
uable. Among the papers we saw
rho treaty Of peace made by the
early settlers with tho Indians. He
told US all about tho history of these
relics which was very interesting.
We would have stayed longer if our
time had not been limited. We
went from the State House 10 The
State Office, where We were intro
duced to the city editor, Mr.. Watson,
who kindly showed US around the
office. We saw the new typesetting
machinea in operation, they were
worked somewhat like typewriter,
and were very interesting to US girls.
Mr.. Watson had one of his printers
to mould the name of each of tho
girls into type and gave them to us
as souvenirs which We appreciated
very much.
We went from the State office to
Hyatt's Park Oh the street car. We
saw high tower which was covered
with electric lights, this tower was
called the electric tower and was a
very beautiful aight With its hundreds
of eolered lights. We went around
TO tho zoo where We saw some very
funny animals among which was
little monkey with little round black
eyes, a large bear and many other
animals. five had gone to the park in
the daytime We would have enjoyed
it much better, but then We could not
have seen the electric tower. After
We had rested while We saw We
had just fifteen minutes ts get to the
city and catch the train fol home.
we got to the train and all got on
board FIVE minutes before it began to
pull out, about 3 o'clock We bid fare
we'll to Columbia and our new friends,
We were once more on the train, this
time going homo instead of going
away bringing..away, with y. pleasant
memories Of o2r tsip TO the Fair with
FaH 4'fMEs girls. We had pleasant
time on the train during our home
ward run. I hope we will always
remember this trip with pleasure, and
in some future time I hope TO meet
you all again.

oh AcAde c4-COnI6QeraCe1.
The dates decided upon for the re-
union is rather early and 1 must s,y
l am somewhat displeased with the
time set because it will be a little
too soon for Texas to show forth her
glory. Nature shows off this section
of the State to best advantage from
May 1st to about June 18th. But
even then the Ex- -Confederates who
have never seen Texas before will
have the exceeding pleasure of view
ing as fine, if not the finest, farmin z
lands possibly in the world.
After thirty years from the time
the first railroad was built through
this city the second one has just made
its advent into Bonham. The track
was laid into tho oity last week from
Denison and with some more adjust
ing of ties and rails the road will be
ready for traffic. This road was bro
jected in 1887, the grade completed
trom Denisea to Bonham and the
bridges built, but for tho lack of
funds the line was abandoned. The
right-of-way and franchises have been
owned by various parties during the
time and the charter .has heen re-
newed several tmes. The new line
is knewn as the Denison, Bonham
and New Orleans Railroad. This
part Of the line from Denison to Bon
ham has been built BY Ronham and
Denison capital and it is leased to the
Aissauri, Kansas and Texas Railway
Company who will operate the line
to this place, The honham people

Cronberg, Aug. 6.-Empress Fred
erick died at 6:l5 p. m. yesterday.
The death was somewhat sudden. At
4 o'clock her physicians reported no
change in her condition. Emperor
William and her majesty's other
children were in the sickroom most
of the day. Professors Renyers and
Spielhagen were also in her room.
The flag on the castle was immedi-
ately halfmasted.
Emperor William arrived at HON.
burg at 10 yesterday morning and
drove to the Homburg castle. Thence,
accompanied by the empress and
Crown Prince Frederick William, he
proceeded to Freidrichoff, which he
reached at 5 20 o'clock.
At 8 o'clock this evening, Emperor
William conducted the members of
the dowager empress household into
the death chamber and led them one
by one past the bedside to take last
farewell of their-mistress.
Closely following the announce
ment OF the death from the castle,
the church bells were tolled and the
flags halfmasted. Visitors to the
castle began inscribing their names
in book placed for the purpose in
the hall
1t is said the cause Of death was
dropsy accompanying cancer. The
remarkable vitality of the dowager
empress astonished her physicians.
She retained consciousness to the end.
The castle grounds are now sur
rounded by soldiers and patrolled by
hussars and mounted police.

STARVATION IN ALASKA.
One Miner Is Dead and Two More Are at
Deaths Door.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 7.
"A story of death from starvation
at the mouth of the Agiapuk river,
in the Agiapuk mining district was
brought from Nome today by passen-
gers on the steamer Centennial, and
as result of 43 days of unparalleled
hardship one man is dead and mis- two
companions cannot live.
The men had been in the Good
Hope country prospecting. June 7
they started for Nome by way of the
Agiapuk river. Travelling was hard
over the long stretches of tundra and
down streams filled with ice. Before
they reached Teller City their pro-
visions gave out and, after wandering
along, hunger compelled them to eat
grass, snails, birds eggs and anything
they could find, but they became so
weakened that further progress was
impossible After reaching a deserted
igloo at the mouth of the Agiapuk
river they decided to remain in the
hope that assistance would arrive in
the shape of prospecting party.
summoning courage, they attempted
to build boat, the frame being made
of willows, which they attempted to
cover with canvas taken from the
body of a dead Eskimo. A party of
miners, coming down the river heard
the cry, Help, for Gods sake; don't
leave us. They proceeded to where
the cry came from and found the
unfortunates, one of whom was al
ready dead, and took them to Teller,
where the two are being cared for by
the government officials.
