His Annual Farewell Tour of State. the Ik Texas, ) Down ey the Bio Gkaxde. ) I am preparing at this time a large and costly testimonial forthe young man who suggested the idea of making this spring my first grand annual fare well tour of Texas. It has been a great success from a boxtdiiee and so cial standpoint. Artistically, of course, the carping critic might see places where he could hav done a great deal better himsejf. Texas, as we know already, is a mighty empire of itself, connecting the stern and sturdy elements ot the r nrmersA Alliance ot Kansas on the north with the romantic yet peppery (jnixu'e of t he south. Here the sad and solemn lubricator, vulgarly called the greaser, spends h.is patrimony on a!i eight pound hat, and with what he has left he btivs a horse. 1 never lire of looking at the delirious clothes of a prosperous greaser. They are wildly beautiful to one who loves, as I do, to see a hand to -hand contest to a fin ish between strong colors. On Sunday 1 attended divine wor hip at the Mexican cathedral in San Antonio. It affords me a grand op portunity to look: at the clothes of the congregation, as we do at home, also to study the faces of the people us tney came out. Religion does not seem if. afford the Mexican. much joy or com- fort.i He jroes through it, however, as one gets his teeth repaired not for the delirio-.is thrill of joy he finds lurk ing in the job itself, Out as a precau tionary measure and as an evidence ol 4iis powers of endurances The ladies of the congregation, it seemed to me, -showed better taste in proportion to their means thau the gentlenieji. They dressed plainly, and seemed to favor deep mourning where ever there was an excuse for it. Some of them, I jadge, were mourning on very slight provocation that is. if they weiv mourning tiie loss of Mich hus bands as I was permitted to see samples of. The men wore large hats, heavily embroidered, and whatever else they could get in the way of clothes. J never saw people sun so much hats or seem indifferent to outer clothes. I i t i i saw one man ai cnurcn wuo wore a massive Mexican hat with two or three pounds of silver braid on it, and u leather cinch with two saver buckles for a baud. He also wore a beautiful' pair of lilac trousers. 0;;e man in the amen corner of the cathedral wore no ceat or vest, but had a shirt made of buff calico, with irrim figures on it, and it was made with puffed sleeves and a Stewart collar. He had also socked his inheritance into a hat. I 1. . i: i a . i auu wore nenoirope trousers ot tlie the time of Queen Elizabeth. Dallas is probably (he most prosper ous of Texsis cities. Some well known wnterup of towns possibly Charles Dudley Warner states that if you draw a circle, using a radius of 100 milrs, with Dallas as the center, you will have therein thirty-four counties I was too tired to try it while at Dallas, and could not get a 100 mile radius at any of the places where I looked Some of the stores didn't seem to have any radius at all. These thirty-four counties produce nearly half of the cotton of Texas, also more than halt the oafs and wheat. It is a very fertile district indeed. Th sou is rich and de.-p, and cotton just grwws wuu ine sugnresi encourage ment. I never saw so much cotton an v where before as I have seen on this trip. Down flear Waco pro nouueed- W ay there is an !d time cottou planter who runs his plantation just as they used to before the war. onlv, ot course, he can t show as an abstract of title to'h.is help, but he has the large black negro with tht white eye, and that negro 'knows his place. He is fed, watered and locked L 1 . .J".. 1 MM out ior every uay. i ne mules are locked up also, so there is no frojick ingover the countrv ht'night with the stock. Severe vsteni is the rule, and $20,000 is the cotton croft while the negroes themselves are any of them fat enough to kill, and their happy songs in tht cotton held show thai healthful discipline, regular hours land regular meals agree with them. in this way they have very htth temptation to monkey with the flow tug bowl. Bum is highly injuriods to tne negro, vniie. unquestionably beneficial to the white man, mailing Hint; bright and highly ' con Vkrsalio:nal t is not proper for the negro.' I juus u:s sensiuuities ana makes uui dinost cMirse. 1 met one of then h-r in TeXits who had, become some what al licttd to the use of Ihnior ! foi ! medical purposes. Hp said that, he had drowned several of his more sick!' and feeble sorrows in I hat way, but. he said they always swelled np and came to the surface on the following day bigger, and more disagreeable than ever. 'I said that was a good simile. He said he didn't know what it wa. out it was so. I found that lie was talkative, and so I conversed with him He said tliat he had got all his work done up ahead and got all over the rush before I came: so th.nt he could have a real good visit with me when got here. I judged that it had been several years since he had ben bu'sy , however. He said that Texas was advancing rapidly, he thought, in the matter of civilization. I said "res," with a ris ing inflection. He said that she was now safely past the crisis, he though t-V lietween the customs of the cliff dwel lers and finger bowls. "Some of us, of e'ose,is raw yit,but we aradvaneing. I would like to have you the guest of our club here this even in', sab, if you will come down the upper Congo club it is called, sah.

It .was a quiet and rather unpreten tious place the. Upper Congo club, oc cupied during the day as a laundry and Tuesdays and Fridays as a club room. The franchise of the club consisted of the inalienable right to meet, medicate and adjourn. - The club properly con sisted of a guest's register, made in imitation of the butcher's order book, with a pine led pencil tied, to it by a st ing, a gallon beer pail and a set of dominoes. The Upper Congo club allows no millionaires' sons to -join. Ot course if a member should become a million aires' son after he had united with the club he cannot be expelled Without a two-thirds vote; but I was told -that 'brains" and brains only was the rpial ification self-made "brains.

Texas people s iv that Sam Jones re- minus them or J mil the l oreruam r in some ways, onlv thaf. John, so far as thev know, did not eat with his knife. Sam, however is a plain off hand man, and since he and I and Dr. Talmage have worked together in Texas I do not feel like hearing either one criticised, and I know that neither one would sit calmly by and allow me to be run dow n. Dallas is beautifully surrounded by the State ot lexas ana U.uc unit, a . r. try s 1 1 nf handsome suburb, with a thriving ho- tel and a vigorous girls' college. Also a pavillion fer speakers and concerts duriug the summer, and a menagerie. There is a train running between Oak Cliff and Dallas which is called an ac commodation. It is ow ned by the ho tel, and the proprietor throws iu the railroad. I say this so that the inter state commerce outfit may look into the matter and throttle this giant evil. Dallas did a business in 1SS9 of over S3 1,000,000. Since then trade has reatly increased. While there 1 met a company of Boston capitalists, head ed by ex-Governor BracKett. I hey had just bought a building for $250,- 000 that day. Four million dollars are (or is) invested iu factories and the yearly product is over 8,000,000. I was also in Dallas two days, and put quite a little sum of money in circula tion while there. I cannot help it. The western spirit - of freedom and reckless expenditure conies over me, and I buy the morning paper some times and do not read half of it. I went to see the "Ulcmeuceuu Case j while in Dallas. I had avoided it while in New York, but the pictures and printing were so beautiful that 1 accepted theJnvitatioH of a real nice man and went to see thw ''Clemenceau Case." I will never have to do so any more. I write down my confession that I did go with much sorrow and regret, but I cannot conceal it any longer. The play is said to have a beautiful moral concealed iu it. There was no oncealment in the play with this ex ception, though. The story is on the order of a train book now meeting with a large sale, called "The Sin of the Strawberry Blonde; or, Drowning Out the Gopher in My Grai.d.nother's Grave," by Pearl Studebaker. The heroine is strangely be xutiful in her lithographs and poses as an artist's model in one of the acts. If was very still during this scene. You could have almost heard a cough drop. After it wsis over, and the artist threw jl piano cover oyer his model, the en tire audience turned around and looked it me with a keen, searching glance. . I looked around also, as who would v, 4 Who is it ?" but that did not wwk. V wa;s discovered. It : ' t.iuuhi me a lesson this huh , fi i iiivmciib, it was that he that ddvertiseth and bil eth a town should not seek to conceal himself in an audience, especially if jrs lithograph shows a tunrked resem bl mce in him. The K.ii-hts of i Pythias held a con clave at Dallas whil I was there. I wove a badge in order to be -soci able, an 1 by that means learned of different gr ps and signs cf distress. I think ii w I could ,worUtiy way into a lodge if I could have time and a large cork screw. In shaking hands with many s rangers during the past yenr or two while travelling and making a wide acquaintance, looking to any acciden t d turn in affairs in 1892, I am struck by the large and varied number of grips given me which I am not able to classify. i . 1 would think! that a man who belonged to most all the secret societies must have very little time to devote to his business aftsr successfully remem bering all the grips, signs, pass words, explanation?, signals, rituals, work of degrees, constitutions, by-laws, reports - vi committees, initiations, communi cations and new businss, good of the order, violation of obligations, opening odes, manual of arms, laying of corner stones and funeral services. If I had all these in my head I could just about remember the combination of my safe, but 1 would not be mf ntally ade quate to anything further than that.

There arc two ways ofi raising cab bage in the open ground. One is by transplanting ' plants, the other In sowing the seed in the hills or drills just Ahere the cabbage is to be grown.

Experience Experience has taught us that by this plan the piece matures more evenly than when when the plants are transplanted while thev are cerlenly as reliable for heading, for when 100 per cent, of the plants make marketable heads as 1 have known instances nothing better . . ... i . i can be asked. Those who have been irr-the habit of transplanting cauli flowers will find they will do better when the seeds are. planted in the hills where they are tp be natured. A plan now somewhat common among market Gardners h to drill the seed or cabbage sufficiently thick that by cut tiuf out the extra plants with the hoe the remainder will be left at the Uis tance suitable. This requires mare seed while it saves a good deal of time and bank-breaking work. The great de feet in this manner of planting Iris been that it lelt too thick, they mature quicker than was necessary for the ends desired. In my planting in in the drills we used last season the Mathews seed drill. My foreman made an ingenious change in its drop ping capacity, which is worth putting on record. He removed the wheel which has about twelve projections that as it resolves kept the seed agita tor in motion, .boring four holes at equal intervals inserted four projec tions on the opposite side and then t set back in place, but i a a reversed posit ion. The result was one revolution caused the agitator to inave four times instead wf twelve, and the seed was fed just about a thick as wanted.
