Galveston, March 28.—0n a recent
business trip lo Houston I had for a trave
ling companion a well-known merchant
of this city, who told story after story of
early days in Texas. One struck me as
worth preserving.
"When my father first came here," said
the merchant, “he settled in Houston—
then the capital of Texas. I was put in
a grocery and provision store under a
very strict aud parsimonious boss. One
morning, juat af I had swept out, Tom,
Gen. Houston’s body servant, came into
the store, Looking round lie espied a
tine bam —nrwaavis In those days. Hav
ing asked the price, be said be would take
it, and the President would call around
and pay for it. I felt proud of my sale,
and called the attention of the boss to it
os soon as he came in.
“Did you get the money?" he asked,
quickly.
“No; but President Houston ia coming
round to pay for it.”
“President Houston- the devil! Did
Tom sar he would see it raid?"
"No, sir ”
“Then you are a fool. Now, sir, you
go straight to the President’s kitchen and
bring me that ham, unless Tom wilt aay
it shall be peid for.”
“I 'stalled off, very-much crestfallen, and
not liking the job before me. Hut 1 reso
lutely walked into the 1 “resident's kitch
en. Torn" was there. I saw my ham ly
ing there, \Mtb a few slices cut off it, and
seizing it, told Tom, unless he would un
dertake to see that the money was paid, 1
must take it back.
"Tom cogitated awhile; and then said:
‘Young man, take back your meat. The
Oineral is a mighty good master, but a
mighty poor paymaster, and I don't kecr
to involvilate myself with this debt.”
"This was enough for me. I lott with
the ham in my band. Going around to
the gate, I had to pass the front door.
There stood General Houston, the Presi
dent of Texas, with a pocket handker
chief in oue hand and a tooth-pick in the
other. 'My little man,’ says he. in his
superb manner, ’tell your master I am un
der great obligations for a most delicious
breakfast; and would pay him but I really
haven’t got the money. The fact is
young man, Texas is very poor, and, as
her President, I must .share her pover
ty.’ ”

WHAT ROBESON DID WITH TnE PROCEEDS
OF THE SALE OF THE PHILADELPHIA
NAVET YARD.
Washington, April 2.— Secretary
Thompson is stilt engaged in an in
vestigation as to what-disposition
was made of the million dollars re
ceived from the sale of the old Phil
adelphia Navy Yard. The facts thus
far brought to light show that the
law has been disregarded, and funds
of one bureau of the department di
verted to the use of others. Reports
thus far submitted to the Secretary
show that not more than SBI,OOO of
the $1,000,000 received from the sale
of the old navy yard will remain on
hand after the payment of SBB,OOO
for certain work now in progress for
which contracts have been awarded.
Of the million dollars received $232,-
000 have already been expended for
work upon buildings at League
Island, about SIOO,OOO in moving
material, machinery, etc,, and for
various expenses at the new yard,
$26,581 as expenses of the sale, $lO,-
000 of which was for advertising
alone, leaving a balance of about
$472,416 to be accounted for. Soon
after the money was received $301,000
were taken from the Treasury by one
draft, ostensibly for the purpose of
improving the League Island yard;
but it has come to light that only a
small part of this sum was expended
for any work at League Island. The
act designating the commission to
sell the Philadelphia yard provided
that It should be after 30 days notice
in three newspapers in Philadelphia
having the largest circulation ; but
the accounts show that the adver
tisement not only appeared in nearly
every Philadelphia newspaper, but
in several Washington newspapers
besides—one paper in the latter city
having received $1,900, another sl,-
200, and a third, a Sunday paper,
about S4OO.
A pointer dog In Galveston, Texas, the
other day jumped from the tower of a
hotel to the ground, a distance of one
hundred feet. It only stunned him a
little.
Ur. Nehrnck's standard Rrmrdlr*.
The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are Schenek's Pulmonic Syr
up, Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, aud
Schenek’s Mandrake Pills, and if taken
before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri
valled success in the treatment of pulmo
nary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the mordid
matter in the Kings; nature throws it off
by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough
will throw it off, the patient has rest and
the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills arid Schenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all obstructions, relax the gall bladder',
the bile starts freely, and the liver is re
lieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle
stimulant and alterative; the alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists the di
gestion ky toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition; so that the food and
the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood, then the lungs heal, and the patient
will surely get well if care is taken to pre
vent fresh Cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so at
his principal office, corner of Sixth and
Arch, streets, Philadelphia, every Mon
day.
Schenc’ks Medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the country.

Good Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, Ac. Every family should
have a bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup.
Don’t allow for one moment that cough to
take hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pneu
monia, Croup, Hemorrhages, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much,
better to have it at hand when three do
ses will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family a winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are consump
tive, do not rest until you have tried this
remedy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Reg
ular size 75 cents. Sold by your Drug
