Prohibition i'm Texas.

A tidal wave of liquor prohibition
is sweeping over Texas One hund-
red and thirty counties have voted
total prohibition and fifty others have
partial prohibition, and in the larger
towns only. like Dallas and Fort
Worth, is the sale of liquor permit
ted. This leaves only 81 counties in
which liquor is sold unrestricted by
any subdivisional lines Most of these
are the sparsely settled border and
panhandle counties. Fully four-f -fifths
of the population of the state is liv-
ing under the jurisdiction of the local
option law.
Half dozen more large counties
are to hold elections within the next
thirty days. 1t looks as if most of
them will go for prohibition The
prohibitionists within the democratic
party are organizing campaign to
elect the majority in the legislature
to be chosen next year. in order that
an absolute prohibition amendment to
the state constitution may be submit

against the white surface of the frozen

The Railroad Gazette's preliminary es-
innate of the years addition to the rail-
way mileage of the United States puts it
ut 6O26, exclusive of second tracks, sid
ings and electric lines. This is small
enough compared with many years in the
past, but not small when contemplated in
connection with the fact that the United
States is better supplied with railways
than any other country in the world.
with this years addition, the aggregate
Z mileage reaches 100000. The main
work of track extension having
been done, it is in order that in
creased facilities for transportation
should be gained by the construction of
new rolling stock. The car output for
the year has been the largest on record
164,54 This is 25,542 in excess of the
output Of last year. The locomotives
built, exclusive of those constructed in
railroad shops, number 4070, compared
with 1884 year ago.

A Glut in One of the Principal Receiving
Ports of This Country.
The overstocked condition of the local
cocoanut market and inability to place
those now in warehouses and boats are
increasing daily. The congested condi-
ton of the railroads and lack of su1tt-
Gent cars add to the depression. At
present the Baltimore & Ohio and Louis
vile & Nashville roads have box cars
loaded with cocoanurs that they are I'M
able to move. The new cocoanut ware
house of the latter company is filed to
it's capacity and has been for the past
severed days, and to add to the misery of
importers, every steamer that arrives
brings in $4,000 or 100000.
It is estimated that at present there
are housed and in boats in Mobile over
increased Sunday by the arrival of the
schooners J. e. Ocean Flower with
5000 and the Boniform with 10000,
These figures will be materially increas-
ed within the next day or two by the
arrival of four more schooners that are
now due. The four schooners will az
gregate about 100000 cocoanuts and
added to those already in port will place
the total at 100000.
MI Those interested in the business admit
that there is a. terrible slump in the
now than ever known. They cost at
least $3.50 per 1000 in the tropics and
bring from the shippers about $13 or $50
while they are sold in the market al
$50, but at present they hardly realize
$23, with corresponding decrease in the
price to the shippers from the tropics

kind hospitality. Possessing but scant
knowledge of the English language, it en-

only needed the usual finishing sentence,
and the Frenchman was wont to wind
up his social letters with the French
phrase, MAY the Lord preserve you and

Failing for the moment to recall the
English definition of the French word
meaning "preserve, he sought the aid of

he concluded his missive with the parting
