Newspaper Comment.
Associated Press.
St. Petersburg, September io—The
Novoe Vremya says: “Of all the signers
of the Berlin treaty, England alone appears
inclined to oppose Russia’s Bulgarian
policy. Russia must know whether
England’s intentions are serious, in order
to prepare herself to take measures accordingly,
as Russia will not be brought
to a standstill by England’s veto.”
The Journal de St. Petersburg says :
Alexander’s proclamation of departure
contains mention of alleged Russian assurances
given to him. For reasons useless
to discuss, Russia could, not make
any engagement with Alexander. In
view, however, of a party struggle in Buigaria
and agitation of the public mind
which tjie proclamation has produced,
the Russian agent in Bulgaria will be
instructed to inform the Bulgarian people
that Russia is disposed to exert her influence
to establish party concord and restore
quiet. Russia will not withhold
her support from any legally constituted
provisional government, guided by nonpartisan
interests and conducted for the
general welfare. Russia is willing to apply
herself to the task of removing dissensions
front painful conferences, by
which Bulgaria has already suffered too
much. Russia hopes the Bulgarian nation
and her representatives will be [able
to appreciate the counsels and act accordingly.

Wednesday, three negroes seized Miss
Williams, a pretty eighteenyearold
daughter of a prosperousjgS&nter, as she

and resisted so valiantly that twipf her
assailants fled. The third, however, was
more desperate and threw her to the
ground. At this point, her cries attracted
the attention of Mr. Warren, and at
his approach the remaining negro fled.
Mr. Warren pursued him, anc| after a
chase of a mile and a half through tbe
swamp overtook and overpowered him
after a desperate handtohand struggle.
Having been led back to the scene of
the crime and identified, the negro was

Cincinnati, September io.—Golden
Smith, the twenty year old son of Judge
Fayette Smith, attempted to kill himself
at his father’s residence in Avondale

room. When they opened the door he
was found lying on the floor with a revolver
by his side and a bullet hole in his*

hope of recovery. A quarrel with a

They have nearly reached the time when
the meridian of life will give way to the
evening, and looking back over the
past we dare say it is a retrospect of days
that were but the promise of the days
which, let us hope, are to crown thqir
declining years. On the part of those
who know them there is but one sentiment,
and that is that their later years
may be long in the land, years of happiness,
peace and contentment—an indice
to the peace and happiness that will
come, some day, when the fitful phases
of this life are over.

A Congressman Arrested as an Escaped Convict
Ouachita (20) Telegraph.
Monday Sheriff McGuire received a telegram
giving him a description of an escaped
comfoct and requesting that he search the
west bound passenger train for the fleeing
criminal. Deputy John Simpson was detailed
for the work and when the train arrived here
he boarded it and instituted a search. A
man was seen to go into the sleeper after
the train was stopped and Mr. Simpson inquired
of the conductor who he was. Being
unable to ascertain from that source, he
went into the sleeper and there sat, as he
supposed, his Iman. The passenger answered
the description and Mr. Simpson
made “no bones” about going up to him
and demanding where he was from, where
he.was going and what his name was. The
answer came as follow: “I am from Washington,
going to Ruston and ray name is J.
Floyd King.” Mr. Simpson was a little set
back, but he thought perhaps the passenger
was using the name of our distinguished representative
as an alias, and was trying to
play a trick upon him, so he again referred
to his telegram and discovered that the escaped
convict limped when he walked. This
information was imparted to General King
with a request that he take a promenade up
and down the aisle of the car. This the
general goodhumoredly complied with, at
the same time proving his identity. The mdefatigable
deputy thereupon acknowledged
his mistake and was profuse in apologies,
which were graciously accepted.

Tucker’s “Baby Colic Drops”—mothers’
joy.
Even the clerk of the weather seemed
to put on his most propitious mood last
evening to do honor to the silver wedding
of Rector Francis R. Starr and his
wife, Mrs. Sarah E. (nee Ward) Starr. The
rain predicted in the weather bulletins
did not come and a nearly full moon sent
down a flood of silvery light upon one of
.the most enjoyable scenes ever witnessed
in Waco. Hundreds of people, ladies*
gentlemen and children, thronged the
beautiful church yard and roamed at will
through the church or over the lawn.
The interior of the church was aglow
with light and Japanese lanterns swung
here and there over the lawn. The
guests commenced gathering about 9
o’clock, and from that hour uutil eleven
the stream of visitors was steady. Mr.
and Mrs. Starr, with their children, were
on the grounds early and received the
congratulations of visitors as the latter
came. The hand shaking must have
wearied the estimable couple, but they
endured it gracefully. For awhile during
the evening, Mrs. E. A. Starr,
a venerable lady, of Columbus Ga.,
was present. She is the mother of the
rector, here on a visit to her son. She is
in feeble health and by’her physician’s
advice did not leave the carriage in
which she was driven to the grounds.
She said but little, but in her eyes there
gleamed the light that betokened the
mother’s just pride in the evidences of
esteem and affection she saw lavished
upon her son. Mr. Starr is chaplain of
the Waco Light Infantry, and Capt.
Waties marched the command to the
grounds in full uniform. Mingled with
the throng their showy dress added to
the brilliancy of the scene. As The Day
intimated, in its anticipatory article yesterday,
the rector and his wife were the
recipients of numerous tokens of the esteem
of parishioners and friends who are
not parishioners. The list is as follows:
Filigree silver breastpin and earrings,
from Mrs. S. W. Slayden and Miss
Slayden; large silver ladle, from Senator
S. B. Maxey and Mrs. Maxey;
Burmese pitcher, from Mr. and Mrs.
C. F. Endley; card receiver of silver,
from Mr. and Mrs. Z. F. Beasley; set of
silver teaspoons in plush tray, from Mrs.
Geo. Hoehn; cream pitcher on platter,
gold lined silver, Mr. aftd Mrs. Sam San.
ger; a pair of napkin rings, silver, from
their sons Frank and Homer; caster of
silver, and colored cut glass cruets, Mr.
and Mrs. T^.. Blair; berry bowl, in silver
frame and handle, Mr. and Mrs. Jas, Dugelby;
silver pickle stand, from
Rev. Horace Bishop and Mrs. Bishop;
dress suit of black to the rector from the
gentlemen of St. Paul’s congregation;
black silk dress to Mrs. Starr, from the
Ladies’ Guild; silver service from the ladies
of St. Paul’s; heavy silver tray, from
the Waco Light Infantry to their chaplain,
the rector: silver gravy spoon from
Miss Hattie C. Hopewell; artificial flowers,
in a silver basket, from Mrs. W. S.
Plunkett; silver card receiver, from Mrs.
C. J. Westerdahl; a pair of silver butter
knives in plush holder, Mr. and Mrs.
Parker Kellum; berry spoon, of silver,
from Mrs. Mattie Howe; silver pocket
knife, from Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Buchanam
Impair of silver napkin rings,
from Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Wood;
silver basket, with flowers, silver sugar
bowl and set of tea spoons, Mrs. C. W.
White and Mrs. D. S. Orand;
silver thimble, frQm Masters Roy and
Louis McCulloch'; ladle and sugar spoon,
in plush casket, Mrs. E. J. Gurley; silver
card case, in plush casket, from Mrs.
Starr’s Sunday school scholars,
Bettie F. Motz, Lucy Edna Gurley and
Lilian Elgin Gurley; silver teacup and
saucer, from Miss Effie Eaton; purse of
fiftysix bright silver dollars; large numbers
of beautiful bouquets, from Sunday
school children; beautiful cakes, confectionery,
etc., by the ladies.
There was no formality about the occasion.
Everybody was free to sit down
or promenade, and during the evening
the ladies of the guild served ices and
other refreshments, the little girls of St.
Paul’s Sunday school volunteering their
services as waiters. It was an event of
joy and good cheer, such as is rarely
seen. Mr. and Mrs. Starr were married,
as has been stated, in the Emmanuel
church, Athens, Ga., on September 9th,
1861. • No doubt they have seen, like
everybody else, days when there
were more of the clouds than the sunshine
of life. But in the main the quarter
of a century they have passed together
has been a happy period for them.
Children have come to them and are
with them yet, and love and devotion
have sat enshrined on their hearthstone.

Truth Tersely Told.
Brenham Banner,
Terrell has been posing before rural
audiences as an antimonopolist and opponent
of corporations. He has been
telling the farmers how railroads have
ruined them. Terrell has has been advocating
doctrines bordering on communism.
He has been trying to make
farmers and workingmen believe that
they are oppressed by capitalists, and he
would have the people divide into classes
and array one class against another. All
kinds of people are necessary in this
country and all are mutually dependent
upon each other. Politically, there are
no distinctions; one citizen is no better
than another. It is only the demagogue
that appeals to class prejudices, and who
advocates class legislation.
