state, being located in the county in
which the first petroleum oil was
found, in quantities sufficient to create
an oil industry. Considerable OF the
wealth of the city has been acquired
from the oil industry
The eAfrO-AmericanS on the whole in
COrsicana are Industrious and pros
porous, and are endeavoring to ac-
quire sufficient competency to keep
them above want. There are some
business enterprises among us, the fol
lowing being the most prominent:
Mr.. S. J. Chestnut, the groceryman of
ten years standing, does good busi-
ness; Mr.. Jas. Woods, of five Or more
years standing, does a thriving busi-
ness; MeSSrS. George and Perry, and
Johnson and Durham, and F. M. Mel

splendid establishments in their line,
and are doing we'll.
The latest enterprise in the city is
the Peoples Drug Store, established by
DR.. w. e. Williams, recently from n.
G. Dr. Williams is associated in the
business by Mr.. w. L. Dennis of this
county. This is the first drug store
the city has ever had, and indications
point to much success attending the
business. DR.. H. z. Williams is a re-
cent graduate of Shaw University, N.
c., and comes highly recommended.
The city has two practicing physic-
~ u, 4
phries, and with DR.. Williams mixing
the drugs, while these write the pre-
scriptions, the AfrO-American patients
will receive the best of treatment.
There is one thing especially which
shows AfroAmerlcan progress in Tex

has come when Negroes will patronize
Negro enterprises. This is a good sign
and will be a blessing to the race
in the way of material success.
The goth Century Literary Club has
a membership of about twenty persons
in the city, and is engaged in holding
meetings for literary improvement.
The reporter will be glad to report
some of the programs rendered in
future. The meetings of the club have
been much frustrated on account of
the inclement weather of which we
have had an abundance since Xmas.
The reporter will endeavor to give
the political situation in Texas in

CANDLES STILL IN DEMAND
Manufactured from ozocerite, Which
Is Dug from the Earth.

In these days Of kerosene and gas
and electricity one might think wax
candles had been pushed TO the wall by
their modest rivals, but as a matter of
grandfathers and grandmotners made
love are still an important factor in
the lighting Of homes in this city. In
the mansions of the wealthy, as well as
in the rooms of the poverty-stricken,
candles may be found today, though
for widely different reasons. To the
poor, candles are indispensable because
science never has discovered a cheaper
mode of lighting. And to the rich the
flood of light emitted by a forest Of
candles is a boon because science has
not, and probably never Will. discover
a softer and more mellow light than
that shed by the yellow flame at the
end Of the ancient wax cylinder
Both health and comfort are other
points taken into consideration by many
New Workers who burn candles in their
bed rooms and in other places where
brilliant light is not essential. In the
first place, what little Odor is caused by
a candle flame is neither injurious nor
disa greea BILE, and in the second. the
flame requires but little oxygen to. keep
| it going, nor does it heat a room to an
appreciable degree. double advan-
tage too obvious to be dWelt upon.
But outside of New York ard other big
cities the candle is used extensively.
In country homes where gas is not
available and where oil lamps must be
used, the candle is found frequently as
an agreeable and safe substitute.
The wax candle of today, however, is
widely different thing from that Of
/ olden times. The busy bee may hum
and collect honey and turn out all the
wax she likes; except that her product

Ozocerite. a mineral wax. dug from

are made. In America the mineral IS

LEFT ASTOR in THE COLD.
Why New Home for His Newspaper
Is Being Built in London Slum.

London May 29.-William Waldorf
Astor is erecting a big building in which
he proposes to pursue on larger scale
his newspaper and magazine enterprises,
and London is looking on in some
amazement, for the millionaire ex-
American is migrating from a fashion
able west end thoroughfare to an OBJ
scure corner Of an alley in the neigh
borhood of Drury Lane, where he will
be surrounded by lodging houses that
give shelter to the very lowest of Lon
don's outcasts. His next door neigh
Dor is a building which was one of the
London county councils first efforts to
His other neighbors will be coster-
mongers and second hand clothes
dealers.
The situation is explained by the
statement that Mr.. Astor for once in his
life has made bad shot. The great
new thoroughfare from Holborn to the
Strand, which is now in course of con-
struction, and which has beeen the sub
ject of SO much municipal discussion for
the last two years, attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. Astor some time ago, when
a large section of the public suggested
that it should be named Broadway"
i shall remove my offices from the
ObScuTity of Charing Cross Road and its
influx Of second hand shops and find a
site in Broadway said he to his man
ager. Both agreed that the idea was
sound one, and the ground was soon
bought, on a corner of what was ex-
pected to be the new street. Soon after
ward the London county councils plans
changed and the new street was cut at
some distance from the Astor property,
leaving the building now in process of
erection there to command only the ad-
miration of its immediate neighbors in
the slums.
The building occupies a ground area
of 5000 square feet and is five stories
high. It would have been a skyscrap per

gard to ancient lights" intervened. The
ground cost 100000. and the builders

like great many of the high Russian
officials. he was left an orphan at an
early age and was taken into the house
of Polish nobleman. who reared him
as his own son, giving him a first-class
educa ton. His first act of gratitude.
before he had completed his course of

to the Russian authorities by Volun-
teering the information that the former
sympathized with the Polish insurrec-
tionists.
This landed the man who had been
to him a second father on the gallows,
but gave an excellent start to the pub

MOSCOW university. Immediately upon
his graduation, in 1867, NJ Won PIehwe
entered government service under the

capacities as prosecuting attorney. prin-
