VIENNA society is in the throes
of sensation caused by the be-
trothal of an Austrian countess to
a gypsy violinist. Austrian roy
atty has itself so often set the
people of that empire by the ears
by It's alliances with the common
people, that the affair of this coun-
tess should not be so surprising.
Those Austrians seem to have a
heart, and love counts more than
coronets with many of the bluest-
blooded of them.

CAPT. LYON ONTHE STAND

Captain Lyon says he would pre-
fer to believe his negro soldiers in
stead of Mayor Combe of Browns
vile. From Lyons's testimony
and general behavior, especially on
the night of Aug. Is, after the
outrage was committed by the
soldiers, it wonld not be out of
order to put him through a court
martial also. 1t is well remember
ed by Brownsville citizens how
Capt. Lyon and his company of
negroes marched through the town
that night, after the shooting, on
patrol, to see if any of the soldiers
were still in town, hurt or captur-
ed, although they allege that all of
the men were present at the roll
call Immediately after the shooting.
The blood of our people boil yet,
as they recall the insulting abuse
of citizens by some of Lyons men,
on that famous patrol, when one of
his sergeant's stepped out of ranks
near the market and cursed a re-
spectacle white citizen, J. P. Nc
Donald. calling him insulting
names and threatening to shoot
him to pieces. The absolute lack
of discipline among Lyons men
that night clearly entities him to
the distinction of col1rt-martia1

Sunday night the Chief of Po-
lice received another wire fro m San
Antonio. 1t read:

(Signed MAJ. BLoCKsoN.)
To this telegram the Chief re-
sponded with the following mes
sage:
To Maj. Blockson, San Antonio,
Tex Chamberlain and myself
ran down story. Fake. Supposed
to come from Vim. Anderson, dis
charged Company B. He wire
Adjutant General. Get sworn
statements.
john T. Rowan, Chief Police.
Chief Rowan stated to the news
paper fraternity that he only char
acterized the affair a fake" in so
far as to the colored workman, D.
c. Gray is concerned.
The name of the man given the
reporters is evidently a fake as the
roster of the discharged men does
not show the name D. c. Cray
and THE only D. c. Gray in Gal
weston is pronounced by the re-
porters not to be the man who
made the statement.
Regret has been seen expressed
that the army authorities have seen
fit to abandon the investigation so
hastily. Some believe that the
negro who made the statement is
still in Galveston and will be
brought forward by the intelligent
colored citizens of Galveston and
induced to shed further light on
the affair, which has thrown such
upon the colored SOL
diery-
The News is also free to admit
that the full statement given by
negro has not been published, as
it was not deemed advisable to
print some oil the details furnished
unless the matter can come out in
court.

ing with a secret service man of |
the Federal Government.

SOME of the army rifles that
were used in the raid on Browns
vile have been identified, thus set
ting at rest the doubt, if there ever
was an honest doubt on the sub
ject, as to whether the crime was
committed by the soldiers. But it
will not be so easy to identify the
fieuds who fred those rifles.

What We Eat.

A food inspector in Manchester,
New Hampshire, found one lot of
beef and park III a butchers stall
that was rather questionable. He
called in the owner of the place.
Look here, D he said," what is
your opinion of this meat?"
The butcher look it over.
L had forgotten all about that. !"
he said. 1T is pretty old stock. !"
Well, what is your opinion of
it?"
my opinion, said the butcher
slowly, if that is unfit for human
food; but it might do for sausage. -
A woman's idea of a committee
meeting for charity is what clothes
they will wear.
There are exceptions to all rules,
and some men spend all their lives
making exceptions.
The man who thinks he knows
how to manage women is the easiest
target they shoot at for them to
hit.
Diplomacy is eating things you
hate at other peoples dinners and
saying you can never get it that
way at home.
Of course, success is largely a
matter of luck, unless it happens
to be our success:
The pride of ownership depends
not so much upon what we have
as upon what our neighbors
haven't.

LOVE CHARMS.


Come of the Queer 5urerstitions That
Live La Sicily.
The love charms Of Sicily are many
and curious. One. very popular ana
considered very powerful. Is to put
into an eggshell few drops OF the
blood of the longing lover. The shell
is exposed to the sun for three days
md to the dew for three nights. 1t Is
then placed OH hot ashes until caicined.
when the whole is reduced TO Il me
powder and administered secretly in
q cup of coffee or Il glass of wine to
the object of affection.
Another charm is for the witch to
undress at midnight and tie her clothes
ND In Il bundle which she places OH
her head. Then. kneeling in the cen
fer of her room. she pronounces an in
cantation. ut the end OF which she
shakes her head. If the bundle falls
in front OF her. ii is Il good sign; should
II fall behind her. the charm will not
avail.
Yet another is worked in the follow
ing manner: Pieces OF green. red ana
white ribbon are purchased in three
different shops the name OF the per-
sons to be charmed being repeated
mentally each time. The shopkeeper
must be paid with the left hand. the
ribbon being received in the right.
When all the pieces are bought they
are taken to a witch, who sets out to
find the person to be charmed On
finding him or her the witch mutters
to herself. with these ribbons | bind
YOU to such one" Then she returns
the ribbons to the purchaser. who ties
them beneath his or her left knee
and wears them at church.-Macmil-

his new profession with the faith ana

Will you listen to my story,
: A story SO often told:N
OF cruel, rum-drinking father
And child SO hungry and cold.
Her little bare limbs were trembling
And her face was pale and fair,
AS she sat by the dying embers,
Praying for guidance and care.
She listened in fearful silence,
The hours were growing late,-
When the sound of heavy football
Is heard within the gate.
His coat was old and ragged,
A pitiful sight you think;
He cared not for riches nor fortune,
So he spent his money for drink.
God help the little children
Who suffer for others sin,
Open the door of heaven wide
And gently bid them come in.
