Esquire Tomlinson Forte Burns brought to our office yesterday a::tame:l e:lblackberry, which was grown on hisplace on eastern edge of Christian Ridge, suburbs of Prescott, and the berry is one of the finest specimens we haveseen. It was grown from a vine from a Texas nursery, which cost the Squire $1.O0 two years of ago. He now has some.fifty or sixty bearing vines and he figures that he will gather several gallons of berries during the year.

 There is structure which every graduate from our school is building, young and old, rich and poor, each one for himself. It is called character" and every act of your lives is a stone for this structure. If day by day you are careful to build your lives with pure, upright deeds, at the end you will stand a fair temple, honored by God and man. But as one leak will sink a ship, and one flaw break a chain, so one mean, dishonorable act or or word will forever leave it's im- press and work it's influence on your character. Then let the several deeds unite to form a day and one by one the days grow into the noble years, and the years as they slowly pass will raise at last a beautiful edifice, enduring forever to your praise, and you will cherish with the utmost ten- derness the memories of your school life. The old school house, the familiar walks about the place, the desk upon which you wrote your name, all indelibly stored away in memory never to be forgotten.
 It is said that three of the stingiest men in the state were in town yesterday. One of them will not drink as much water as he wants unless it be from an- other mans well. The second forbids any of his family from writing anything but small hand" as it is a waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops his clock at night in order to save wear and tear on the ma chinery. Two of them decline to take their county paper on the ground that it is a terrible strain on their spectacles to read news paper, even in the day time. And the last one makes his wife and children climb the fence to Keep from wearing out the hing es on the gate, and won't turn over in the bed for fear he will wear rout the sheet. This last one, however, will sometime conde- scend to read a "sample"-copy of a paper, but was never known to be a bonafide subscriber to anything except the Daily Dinner Horn-snd then he sometimes kicked because the poor little carrier failed to get it to him be- cause of a threatening storm.

 TRINITY RIVER RECEDING.
 Dallas, May 26.-After doing damage Of over $1, 900, GOO, drowning at least three people and rendering 4.OOO homeless in Dallas, the Trinity river is today falling slowly.
 It is believed when the flood is over it will be found that the number of deaths will be incres- ed. All those carried down with the Texas & Pacific Railway bridge yesterday have not yet been accounted for. Frank Ed wards lost his life last night by falling into the back water on Mckinney avenue in the heart of the residence district.
 Dallas business men are rais- ing funds to succor the distressed and homeless.
 The city is stil without lights and the public water plants are being inundated. A few street cars are being operated by pow CT furnished by private compan- ies.
 All railroads are practically tied up. But few trains are be- ing run in and out of Dallas.

the fist fight between Count Boni De

wise connected with the fight. Owing
to the absence of the attorney for
Count Boni further hearing of the

column moved on the sidewalk. but
soon went to the center of the street.
The. leaders shouted invitations to
men on the sidewalk to Join the ranks

ranks were swelled to 500. All the
way the men were orderly and a
special police force had nothing
to do.
While the hungry horde lined up in

Mayor Wells. Mayor Wells assured
the men that he would do all in his
power TO give them employment II
ne could find the city work to be done.

nance calling for an appropriation of
$4,000 for street work, the ordinance
being introduced in the house of dele
