Who Did Not Flinch Texan's Revolver, There was a little English boy who left San Antonio bafors I had reached it, but whose name and fame remained behind him, says Harper’s Weekly. Ho was 18 years of age and just out of Bton, where he had spant all his pockot-money in betting on the races through commis- sioners. Gambling was his ruling pas- sionat an age when gingor-pop nnd sweets appealed more strongly to his contemporaries. His people sent him to Texas with £400 to buy an 1nterest in o ranch, and furnished him with a complete outfit of London-made cloth- ing. An Englishman who saw the boy’s box told me he had noted the different fux'munts pucked carefully away, just as his mother had placed vhem, and each marked with his name. The Eton boy lost the £400 at rouletto the first weel after his arrival in San Antonio, and pawned his fine clothes in the noxt to Hget back.” He lost all he ventured. At the end of ten days he was peddling fruit arouna the streot in his bare teot. He made 25 cents the first day and car- ried itto the gambling house, where ho had already lost his large fortune, and told one of the dealers he would cut the cards with him for the money. Thu boy cut first and the dealer won, but the other was enough of a gambler to sco that the dealer had stooped to win his lust few pennies unfairly. The boy's eyes filled up with tears of indignation. “You thief!” he cried, “‘you cheated m he dealer took his revolver from the drawer of- the table, and, pointing it at his head, said: **Do you know what we do to people who use that word in Texas? ‘We kill them!” The boy clutched the table with both hands and flung himself ac it, so that his forehead touched the barrel of the revolver. **You ti " he repeated, and 80 shrilly that every one in the room heard Rim. I say you cheated ma!” The gambler lowered the trigger slowly 851 tosemd the pistol back 1nto the drawer. Then he picked up a $10 gold piece and shoved it toward him. “Here,” he said, “that’ll help take you home. Youre wo—tough for Texas,” A Youtn Before P B HARRISON’S DOUBLE. A New York Druggist Who, Looks Like the " President. Of all the memwho. look like other men President Harrison’s double heads the list, says the New York Advertiser. The man:is Lewis deyser. He is a chemist, and his stofe is' at the corner of Sixthvavenueand Twenty-sixth street. He knows he looks like President Har- rison, for ha has remarked the resem- blance himself, and his friends have time and again tickled him by facetious observations on the subject. If. you were going to describe Mr. Keysor the ensiest way would be o hunt upu description of the president, for “‘one looks so much liks both that you can’t tell ‘tother from which.” The president is broadshouldered, stocky and strong of limb. So is Mr. Keyser. The president’s neck is short and his gray whiskers touch his shirt front, just like Mr. Keyser’s. The president’s eyes twinkle merrily and seem to ask ques- tions, and Mr. Keyser's eyes have the same characteristics. And in the sub- stantinl way he sets his fool down, in his movements and in his smile the double is like the president, Mr. Keyser visited a photographer’s vecently, and after his photograph had been taken the operator bowed very low and said: **You're the first great mun ['ve had for a sitter since Ileft the seaside resorts.” He wanted to send the photograph to Washington free of cost, but the good- natured drugyist left his nume and ad- dress and instructions to have the pack- ages sent C. O, D, Mr. Keysor is 51 years old. He was born in Chambersharg, Pa. His father was a German, Mr. Keyser served in the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania volunteers during the war, He is married. e The Rallroad Sandwich, New York Sun: The man looked at them heaped up on # plate as he sat at the lunch counter, and finally queried: “*Arve those sundwiches?” **Yes, sir.” “Railrond sandwiches?” “Yes, sir,”? “I've read of 'em. made?” **In 1880, sir.” “Twelve years ngo, ch? What kind of meat?” *Ham, si am about ten years old when we putit in.” ““Was, eh? Warranted to produce—" “Death, sir, and that within twenty- four hours, ‘I see. time?” “Perfectly so.” “Well, I think I'll. try one.” “They are notifor sale, sir,” “What! Donft you sell sandwiches here?” “Sometimes, sir, but we pick out cus. tomers. Havs you a card with you?” Ol course I'Have. There it is, and I'd like 1o Know——" rry, sir, bot I can’t accommodate you.

" Sorry.sir, very sorry, but you ought to have been the funny man and written five or six columns on the rail- road sandwich.” R Electrieal Notes, An electrie road will connect Antwerp and Brussels.

The I'rench army under McMahon had been graduaily hemmod 1n by the warlike Teutons until 1t was a caso of fisht or surren- der. The Freacn forces wers arrayed in a half circie around tho town with the two wings resting on the river Meuse, which loft them no line of rotreat. Atdawn of September 1 the Garmans began their at- tack. Karly in the fisnt McMahon was wounded and gave upthe command, The French tried to break through the line but fatled. A powerful artillery dashed its mis- siles from all sides into their rambling and orderless troops, and owing to the compact- ness of the French position every ball found its man. Towards evening of the 2d a flag of truce upreared and Napoleon sent to the Gorman commaunder this letter: “As 1 have not fallen at the head of my soldiers I surronder my sword to your majesty.” Schuetzenvereln Tournament. Everything is moving along smoothly for tho grand tournament of the Schustzenverein at Raser's park September 10 and 11.

Secretary Catlin Has a Few Words to Say 7 the Frosent Controversy. OMAIIA, ANg. 27.—Ofico of tho Secretary of the Prospect Hill Cemetory Assooiation. To the Editor of Tie Bee: [n view of the frequent statements that have appeaced in the daily press, through the council procoed- ngs and elsowhers, with reforones to tho Prospect Hill Comotery associatisn acquir- 1ng from \ho estato of tho late Mr. Byron Reed that portion of land in said cemetory Iying between the present occupied portion thereof and Parker street, the samo being 127 feet north and south and oxtending from the east line of the cemetery to Thirty-third street on the west, I desire to mako a fow brief statements of facts in connection there- with, in order that lovowners in Prospect Hill cometery and the public may gain some in- sight 1nto the true situation and the motives that have given rise Lo the prosont agitation. Iu 1865 Byron Reed piatted and laid out | into blocks und lots for cometory purposes what 18 now the north half of Prospect Hill cometery and dedicated the streots and alieys therein to tho public use. After- wards o tract of land lylag immedi- ately south of tho original plat, and neatly the samo size, was ov Byron Reed laid out into a so-callea First addition to Prospect Hill cometery, und extended from the south line of the original cemetery to Parker street, and includos the strip of 127 fest wide now in question. This ontire First addition was at vthat tima surveyod and Laid off into lots and blocks of unitorm size with the original comotery by Mr. George Swith, whois now living in Omaha, ana lots wero sold on this strip of 127 fect now in question and interments mado thereon; buvsubsequently the lots in this strip of iand were withdrawn from the market uutil the ios in the other portions of the come ould be sold and the same should bo required for burial purposes, and it has always been carried uvou the books of Bvron Iteod as cametery property, and so stands to- and during his ' life it was guiz>d by him in court procecdings as @ part of Prospret Hill com>tery. It has been repeatedly assortea by tho Korest Lawn Cemotery association Byron Rued dosired and proposea that the area, extent and it of Prospect Hill come- tery’ should be reswicted to the tract con- veyed by him to that association, aud that its use for cowetery purposes shouid finally entirely cease and the ground bo used by the city for a public park.” T desire to state that these assertions are absolutely and utterly false, of which I hava positive proof, over the signature of Byron Read. At the time whon the change of the en- trance was made {r®n the east to tho south side of the cemetery it was mado by tho Prospect Hill Cemeteéry association with the full consent and approval of Byron Reed, founded upon the fact that this strip of land was a portion of Prospect Hill cemetery. Atthe time of Mr. Rood’s death negotia- tions wero pending for again placing this strip of ground on the market for burial pur- poses, the consummation of which was nec- ossarily delayed in the settling up of his es- tate. A few weeks prior to Mr. Road’s death in company with Mr. Samuel Buros 1 called upon Mr. Reed at_his residence for the pur- pose of talking over cemet matters, at which time we recsived much interesting una yaluable 1nformation with reference to Pros- poct Hill comesery. In thav interview, which lasted several hours, Mr. Reed assured us that atthe time he quit-claimed that portion of Prospect iill cemetery named in the dead to the Forest Lawn cametery association, that he had no itea or intention of its abandoument. Thay 10 deeding to that association for the nominal consideration of §1 between 5,000 and §10,000 worth of vacant lots in Prospect Hill come- tery, most of which were sold by tho Forest Lavn association befors they abaudoned it, that he aid so for the sole purpose of relieving himself of further care aud respousibility of the cemetery and believing thut he was placing it in tho hands of un association that was legally and otnor- wise iu a position to care for and maintain it as ho hud done, and that they would do so. Ho expressed in tho stronwest terms his disapproval of the willful negiect aud dose- cration which the Forest Lawn association had perwitted, sud his full anproval of the uction of tho lov owners in the organization of an associntion for its future maintenauce, Ho said that the Forest Lawn association should nov hesitate 10 redcea the cemetery to the Prospect Hill Cemetery association upon the same terms thoy had recoived it from bim, and that if so desired ho would cheor- fully unite in the execution of such a deed. Ho said that the clause in bis dead to the Forest Lawn association of reversion to the city of Omana for park purposes, snould it ever coase to be used as a cemetory, was not intended and could not bo coustrucd as being s wish that it should ever be abundoned as i cemetery, but was simply o provision for a possivle coutingency which he did not velieve would ever exist, buu which there might bea possivility in tho far aistant future, Those statements aro fully verified by the factibat within six weels thereaftor, at his own request, ho was laid away atrestin veautirul Prospect Hill cemetory, and today a massive and costly mouument’ marks the place where he slecps. It has been ascertained beyond a reason- able doubt tbat the petition recently pre- sonted to the city council protesting against the use of this land for cemetery purposes was iustigated by members of the Korest Luawn Cemetery associution, ana that tho saud petition was circulated ‘and signaturos procured thereto by porsous employed by them for thut purpose. 1t is not dificult to define the motives that would naturally prompt that association to mauifest & doep solicitude in tho sanitary condition of that portion of the city, bacause every intelligent person ¥nows that wore it possible to enlarge the bou:daries of PPros- pect Hill cemetery, which it is not aud which thero is o desire or intention of aoing, that it would ve a death blow to that 1ustilutioa and their monoy making schomo. No oue knows bettor than they that there 15 ot that person living who would ever frow choice 0 bast Prospect Hill cometory and go seven long wearisome milos over un- puyed roads, through the mud and slush of spriog, the heat und dust of summer, the raw, chilly winds of autumn, or the bitter storms and cold of winter, 10’ lay away their deaa, ouly to return over the same long, weari- some roud, sadder and more sorrowfil be- cause of tho distance which separates them from now the dea L6DOL on earth, and d: prives them of the greatest oomfort aud privilege this world cauafford—of froquently Visitiug and tenderly caring fortho last resi- ing place of tueir loved ones, And yeu for years this community has been forced by the %PRI all Used in Millions of Home Stoco ! monozraph pub- | “that | Forost Lawn association to submit to this infamous and crael outrace without the slightest nocossity thersfor, when there 8 ample space 1n beautiful ’rospect Hill to yours o come. The city ordinance forbidding the aoquire ing of property wittin the oity limits for comotory pucpsses was intended solely to Prevent the stablishmont of now cemeterios Within sush limits and therofore i1s not ap- plicable to this case.

Othor abutments are on Parker stroet upou the south, Thirty-third | $1190t upon the west and tho prosent ocou- plod portion of the cemetery on the north, + and are therefore absolutaly freo from all obe jections upon sanitary grounds, 1 doubt if there is 2’ man living today who owned & foot of nroperty within a mile of Prospaot Hul before it was n comotory. Every property owner withina mile of the cemotery bought his property with the full knowledgo of its existence and that in alt human probability it would alwavs romain #- cometery, which it surcly will, If there was anything objectionable about tho location they biad the priviledwe of buying elsewhero, but for reasons of their own' thoy selooted ground in this immediate vicinity in_prefor- ence to all other locations, with the full knowledge of thelr surroundings. Tho city council muy_issuo its commands to the city attorney in defianco of bLis logal opinton and of law, but thera is something in thiscommunity higher and far wore powor- ful than a city council and that is publio opinion, and public opinfon in Omaha today is overwhelming!y in favor of the protection of the dead as well as the living, Prospect Hill cemetery 1s the most beauti- fulspot in Omaha, and very dear to the hoarts of our paopie. Around it are clustored sacred memorins of early days and of those whose names aro conspicuously and insops arably identifiod with the growth and pros- perity of our aity. Our oldost, wealthiest . and most highly estecmod citizons are among tho lot owners therein, any attompt to over- throw or destroy it or to divest wny portion of it from tho sacred use or purpose for which it las baen dodicated and held, wolud ba a blot upon civilization and a gross' insult to the best elomant of this commumty, But that time will never como, Prospect Hill cemotery will oxist generations after those who are now living shail havo passed away. A pormanent fund has already been estab- lished for 1ts future care and maintenance ana several of our promient ocitizons haves made provisions in- their wills, bequoathing liboral sums to this fund, and othors will surely follow in their traw, If any persons have any doubts or fears in regard to the future of Prospect Hill cemotery, they can dismiss them forever with the utmost confl- dence, 1t is the intention of the association to pro- coed with the salo of lots as soon As the nocessary diagrams and plats can be pre- pared. These grounds are high and beauti- fully situated, oyerlooking the city and sur- rounding country for miles in every direction, forming one of "thz most picturesque and oharming views about O.naha, aad the lots thersin will bo among the choicest and most desirable in the cemetory. Prospect Hill cometery is there to stay. No power on earih can ever remove it and it will add to itself now beauties and grandeur year after year as the time rolls on. Sys. tematic work upon permanont improve- ments will be commenced a3 soon as practicable. A stono wall will be built on the Parker strece sido in the pring. A chapel, soxton’s lodge and retatuing vault will foilowv ns rapidly as thoe funds will permit. The sale of lots wiil be duly announced. Cunanies F. Catriy, Secrotary. o RECOILED BUT DIDN'T KICK.
