A MEMORABLE DAY OF GOOD DEEDS ,

Instead of a pauper's grave , amltl the bar
renness of tlio potter's Hold , Hob Peyton's
tomb will bo ono of the loveliest spots Iu nil
the bright , goltlcn west.
The llrst traveling nina to notice tlio ac
count of Peyton's death In the i > qor house
was A. M. Lyncman of Komntlka Brothers ,
Milwaukee. Air. I yncman lind known "Bob"
I'oytoii , as ho was famlllurly cullcilvcry well ,
lie Immediately recalled , us ho afterwards In
formed a UEK reporter , tlmt It was I'oytoii
who but a year or two ngo In a small western
town lui'l ' given SiT to help bury u fellow
traveling tmm who luul died In penury. With
out tlio loss of an hour Mr. Lyncman called
nt the undertaking establishment of M. O.
Maul in this city , nnd upon his own responsi
bility gave enters to have Peyton's body re
moved from the pauper crave , where It had
been laid uwny , and to luivo It interred at
Forest I.nwn cntnctery. Then be made a
skirmish among the jobbers und visited what
traveling men thcro were In the city regard
ing the matter of removing the body. A * n
result he gathered In , after but a few hours'
work , siiniclent money not only to give Hob
I'cylon a proper burial but a great deal moro.
Tbun a basty consultntlon was held , tbe re
sult of which won a decision to buy a large
lot In tlmt beautiful city of the dead Forest
Lawn- ono sitfllclent to accommodate thir
ty-six graves , and still leave room for a monument
ment nnd footpaths. WHS selected on the very
crest of the highest eluvatlon In the entire
cemetery. The cemetery association gave a
discount of about one-third , and In addition
charged tlio bovs nothing whatever for re
moving the remains. The lot was paid for In
full , cash down , and a deed for the same was
received then and there.
'J.'lio hitting upon and carrying out of this
idea did not occupy moru than u day anil a
half.
half.AH
AH n result last Thursday afternoon ton
carriage loads of loyal yes , and loving
traveling men followed to n thrice honored
tomb among the best In the land the remains
of the generous , noble-hearted fellow who ,
when In life and prosjwrity , was always
ready to share and share equally his lust
dollar with a friend.
Tlio service at Forest Lawn on Thursday
aftrruoou was something moro than the lay
ing away of a brother traveling man with
honor and respect. It was the holy dedica
tion of a spot of earth on which for all time to
come the tired traveler of the coinmurchil
paths of life it matters not how poor ho may bo
may lay him down In honor U ) rest until
that great day when Ho who said "Let him
who is without sin cast the ilrst stone , " shall
come to Judge the living and the dead.
It was u plain , a simple service , and yet the
fllantlng rays of a Juno HUH or the brilliant
flowers of an early summer time never wit
nessed ono moro beautiful.
Ere the body , in Its handsome casket
crowned with a rich llonil tribute , was low
ered into the grave , the Hev. Charles W ,
Savidge. pastor of the People's church in this
city , and than whom no dlvino In all the west
takes a warmer interest in traveling men ,
stepped forward. Iu the kindly impressive
manner with which so many of the ooys of
the ro.ul are well acquainted , the man of God
read several passages from the scriptures.
He closed with ono of the most heartfelt nnd
earnest petitions to the throne of divine
grace , asking that the All Wise Providences
might , as the years go by , cause the generous
act of Christian charity which Unit hour wit
nessed to ct'tnont In stronger ties than over
before the great brotherhood of commercial
travelers thererepresented. .
Brief but very affecting rcmnrks touching
upon the burial of Mr. I'oytoii and the dedi
cation of the lot as u burial place for travel
ing men wore then made by Messrs. C. O.
Lobeck , A. M. Lyncinun and G. II. Pugh.
After tin-so had spoken Mr. Lyneman , who
had previously been designated to have
clmrgn of the services , said ; that they would
be im-omploto without remarks from Mr.
Cressoy , the member of TUB Bni : staff to
whom was duo the credit of discovering the
identity of Mr. Peyton anil calling attention
to the fact In that paper , and but for whom
the project of a traveling men's burial ground
would not have been originated and pushed
to so early n completion.
Mr. Cressoy responded that what he had
done was simply his duty and a pleasure as a
newspaper man.
It was a noticeable fact that TUB BEE'S
efforts iu this matter received the cordial and
most hearty thanks of all the gentlemen who
spoico.
As the hotly was lowered into the tomb the
evening wind , playing upon nature's harp In
the woodland close at hand , seemed chanting
a raqulom o'er the brother dead.

Lawyer Samuel F. Ilyman has brought suit
Iu the superior court on behalf of Miss Isabel
Lewis against William L. Fox for $20,000
damages for breach of promise of marriage.
Miss Lewis , says the New York Star , is an
attr.ictivo girl of twenty-two years and very
well known in Ilarlem society , and lirst met
Mr. Fox early in the winter of ISS'J. ' They
met frequently after that and Miss Lewis
claims that on or about Juno 15 , ISS'.I ' , she and
Mr. Fox went for a walk In Central Park and
that while there ho proposed marriage.
Shortly after the engagement of the couple
was announced to their many friends. Mr.
Fox sent his llnnceo many costly gifts and
Miss Lewis In turn seat her accepted suitor
many dainty trilles of her own make. The
wedding day was set for May 4 , IS'.X ' ) , and
Miss Lewis says she spent a great deal of
time and money preparing her trousseau ,
which was very elaborate and beautiful.
Mr. Fox is a traveling salesman for a largo
dry goods house , and during ono of his many
absences his letters to Miss Lewis lost their
original tenderness and assumed a stateliness
of tone which , coupled with the infrequeuey
of their appearance , caused Miss Lowls some
anxiety.
After Mr. Fox's return ho called af. of .bid
upon Miss Lowia , but waa seen very often In
the company of another young lady. Miss
Lewis' father about this time sought an inter
view with the young man nnd demanded au
explanation of his conduct. Mr. Fox is alleged
to have replied that ho had become engaged to
another wot.ian , and that he no longer loved
Miss Lowb , and could and would uot make
her his wife.
On learning this Miss Lewis found that her
affections had boon damaged to the extent of
&it,000 ) , nnd now brings suit to recover that
amount. In her sworn statement Miss Lewis
avers that she now sUmds "ready and willing
to marry the said William L. Fox. "

Ono of Mucon's traveling sidesmen had a
strange experience lately on the way from
Atlanta.
It was early in the morning when ho loft
Atlanta , and as ho Had been forced to hurry
through his dressing and start without his
breakfast , ho paid llttlo or no attention to his
follow passengers.
Justbcforo the train reached Griftln a lady ,
seated Immediately behind him , loaned for
ward nnd whispered In his ear that his per
sonal beauty had proved too much for her
susceptible heart and sliu loved him fondly.
With n smlloof conscious power the drum
mer turned to look on the maiden whoso heart
ho had ensnared. The smllo vanished , how
ever , when ho voallzed that the soft voice be
longed to n maiden of some forty-live sum
mon ) , who wus by no means beautiful. Ho
Immediately changed his seat , but It was no
use. Tim ensnared one followed him and
continued to tell of her passion until every
body Iu the car was laughing.
As the train was stopping a big man came
In from the smoking car and explained tlmt
the hul\ was crazy and ho was taking her to
( lie Inamto asylum. The drummer was much
rollmed , as ho has a wife and six children in
Macon , and he know ho would have dlilleulty
in making a satisfactory explanation If hu
followed him home.
The following from the Muscutluo ( la. ) Trl
tmne will bo read with very great Interest by
the legion of traveling friends of Ed Hust :

which the guests partook of a bounteous wed

Tlio DrmitiMcr'H 1'lro , Escape.
They put mo next to a drummer at the St.
Charles hotel in New Orleans , writes n cor ;
respondent of the Now York Sun , and as I'
was unlocking the door about 10 o'clock at' '
night he came down the hall and asked ;
"Well , have vou located 'emI"
"What ! "
"The fire escapes. "
"No. I never attend to such things. "
"You don't ) Well , you nro In for n roastIng -
Ing some night. I never go to bed in a hotel
until after I have located every stairway nnd
flits escape. If thcro was to bo an alarm hero
tonight I could jump out of bed with the full
est coulldence of saving myself. See heron
minute. "
And he took mo lute his room and pro
duced from his trunk u lira escape made of
ropes , and explained. : .
"Should I happen to to cut off from the
stairs or escapes , hero Is my other chance. I
catch this hook on the window sill , so ; throw
the rope out , so ; and I can lower myself llfty
feet in forty seconds. "
Wo had been in bed about two hour. } when
I was awakened by the odor of smoke , and
was hardly on my feet when n gong sounded
nnd there were shouts of "Flro ! " The
smokowas so thin that I knew the danger was
yet far on * and began dressing. While so en
gaged I heard the drummer cantering up and
down the hall shouting "Firo ! " at the top of
his voice. When I dually got
out I found Him jammed into n
linen closet half way down the hall nnd cryIng -
Ing like a child. Ills rope escape hung on the
wlrework of the elevator , and ho had made n
bundle of his clothes nnd Hung them over a
transom into another room. The llro was out
by the time I got dressed , and when the
watchman , who was going about to quiet the
people , reached our hall the drummer clasped
him around the neck and shouted :
"Say I say t Show nio the way down stairs
and I'll give you a milliou dollars yes ,
twenty millions 1"

A Blow to the Barbers.
Tlio barbers and hairdressers of Obor-
uininergnu are to their cost llnding out
the truth of the miying that "ono man's
meat is the other man s poison , " says the
Now York Sun. For , while everybody
else in the village is rejoicing tit the
forthcoming performances , the "artists
iu hair" have for some time past boon
doing very little business. The fact that
wigs , together with all other unnecessary
finery , nro prohibited on the stage ,
whore the passion plays are to bo
given , compels nearly everyone of the
actors to allow his hair and bard to grow
for a considerable time before the per
formances , in which every male actor
appears with long ( lowing hair and
board. Since this decree was sent forth
by the theatrical authorities all the hair
dressers have taken to another trade.
Ilerr Meyer , the villager who is to
take the part of Christ in the play , is
also undergoing an ordeal , the severity
of which can only bo gauged by those
who know the fatal attractions of Ba
varian beer. For the forty-seven years
of his lifo Mr. Meyer has been u regular
attendant at the village inn , drinking
boor and playing at skittles , but his ap
pearance in public , together with his
habit of drinking beer ( oven in private ) ,
are considered infra dig , for tno time
being , and tlio poor man is now paying
the penalty for approaching greatness
in the beerless solitude of his cottage.

Is much larger than the Ilgurcs and statistics
regarding It Indicate. To say that It lias nn area
of over two hundred and scventy-flvo thousand
square miles docs not nITord to the mind an
adequate conception of Its extent , nor does It
convey the Idea that this are.i Is mow than all
of the New England and Middle states , to
gether with tlio addition of North Carolina ,
Virginia and Delaware.
A WOXOUIIFLT. ST.VTfi.
Dut oven this does not fully state the case.
It Is farther across this wonderful state than
It Is from Philadelphia to St. Louis. One
man owns nearly enough land In a slnglo
tract to exhaust a day's journey In a steam
car. I allude to Senator Farwcll , who has
over eight million acres of land In the western
part of the state , extending In a direct line
200 miles to the south. Nor Is any adequate
conception of t'.o resources of this state
held. ' When I was at Fort
Worth , I visited the famous Spring
Palace , on the very day on which it was
burned ; it covered an area of nearly sixty-
ttvo thousand square feet , mid Its two lloors
wore crammed full of exhibits or minerals ,
woods , vegetables , cereals , grasses fabrics ,
nuts , fruits , and In fact almost everything in
the shape of raw products that any state in
the union can produce , and yet there was not
a single exhibit In all this wonderful collec
tion that was not the product of the state of
Texas. And now one thing more that is not
generally known in the east : Texas has no
state debt worth speaking of , and the rate of
taxation for state purposes is only \yt \ mills.
It has several millions of dollars in its school
fund ; it has its own state lunatic , blind , deaf
and dumb and orphan asylums ; it hits one-
third of the entire railroad mileage of the
union ; it has the llnest state capitol. with the
exception of that at Albany , over built , and
many call It the lincst state building In the
union. It has more acres of timber land than
anv state in the west more than any three
states. With all this wealth , and with a cli-
mute unsurpassed , it contains a population
smaller than that of most states , and not
much larger than that of the cities of Brook-
Ivn and New York put together ; yet if all
the people iu the United States , under the
last census , lived in Texas , its population
would not be as dense as that of France.
SOME TRXAS CITIES.
At Dallas I found one of the most enter
prising cities that I have visited. I do not
deny that it lias had great boom In property
values. To mo , as It noted the price of land
and choice lots in the city , it scorned as if
property was hold at very high llgures , and
yet conservative merchants and men who
were building largo brick structures on lots
for which they had paid these high prices ,
assured mo that in every instance they could
have resold their property at much moru
than they paid for it , 1 found no contradic
tion of this statement , which was made on
every side. It was precisely the same at Fort
Worth , which is tlio rival of Dallas and only
thirty miles to tho'westwnrd. Fort Worth
claims this advantage over its competitors ,
that it is nearer the outlying country and that
it is the natural trading place for all tlio vast
and fertile region , o * v sparsely settled , to
the westward. It was Fort Worth that put
the money up fur the famous Spring Palace ,
and Fort Worth today seems ready to put up
810,000 , S100.UOO or 8aup,000 for anything that
promises to bring business to its city atfd add
to its capital. It scorns strange to see a
$150,000 building of granite standing on Main
street alone amid small brick and frame
structures and shanties that had sprung up
.for.storoH and other purposes ; but it must bo
: bonio In mind that Fort Worth is young.
Only during u few years 1ms it been anything
but a government military station. But its
selection as u station Indicated that It had the
site for a city , and , in my opinion , a great
city.
BOMB SMALLISH TOWN'S.
Gainesville Is one of the smaller cities of
Texas , standing away to the northward from
Fort Worth , and some of the men who have
been instrumental iu developing the growth
of Fort AVorth , have recently turned their
energies and capital toward Gainesville.
They can see , they told mo , why it will one
day'be a great city. And I must concede to
them , by reason of experience In this untied
Held , a greater knowledge than I can have iu
those matters. That Gainesville is not a
rival of 0113- other place about hero , and that
Fort Worth is not utratd of it , will go far
towards developing it into ono of the great
cities. Sherman I found to bo an old fashioned
place , even in this now fashioned country.
But It has dotoi mined to throw aside its con
servatism , and has recently finished an elec
tric car line and started up several now in
dustries ; town lots have been laid out for
some distance from the trade centers , and
bankers and business men are all seeing with
pleasure an Inllux of northern and
eastern money. Sherman boasts of
being the "Athens of this stato.
It has several good schools for ladies
mid a good military school for boys. Like
n'l ' other cities in this section , it is looking
ing for industrial enterprises. Already , it
has one of the largest oil mills in Texas , and
no manufacturer who wants a tract of land ,
or a snug donation of money to help him need
pass by Sherman. Here , as in all other
southern cities , the citizens are only too
ready to contribute a purse toward a project
if It will build a factory and secure it a new
mdustrv. Sherman for many years has
.supplied banking funds for this part of the
state. But Dcnison , a young rival , now
claims to huvo u right also to dispute tlio
Held. Donlson is a wido-awako railroad
town. I do not mean by this merely that
railroads pass through It , but they seem to
niako Dcnison the center of their shops and
coal bins , from which they receive their
supplies. It is said that Mr. Gould , noticing
this closeness to the coal Holds of the
Indian territory , a few miles to the
north , contemplates making Sherman or
Uenlson ono of his important points.
As in other places I luivo visited , town lots
have been laid out two or three miles from the
city. It Is curious to ubto how the building
boom Is curried on. For instance , a Hue cot
ton mill to cost f.VfO.OOO . and to use 25,000
spindlesbuilt largely with Now England cap
ital , is being erected quite a distance from the
center of the city , and slnco it has been
planned lota In this now Held have risen
greatly in value , and It > s expected the cotton
mill will soon mark the Center of a largo pop
ulation. The same schcjiio is pursued in oth
er cities In Texas. A mill of any kind Is lo
cated to the south , oiip to the west , another on
the east , and so on , thus making points at
which building operations can begin.
rimriTAuu ; fcriiSTMCNT.
The rate of Interest ion gilt edged loans Is
never less than 8 per cent , and U usually ID
to 13 per cent. Tfio most conservative man
can Hud plenty of opportvnitles to employ his
money at thesu figures. I notice , however ,
that bankers aru compelled U ) permit gener
ous overdraft * by their boat customers , u con
dition of affairs that banks of the north would
not tolerate. I asked it well known banker
why this was so , and ho said It was a custom ,
and only granted ou very good security , like
warehouse receipts , rAU any rate It would
not be safu for the banks to rufuso them , as
It would bo suru to cruato ill-feeling. I am
convinced , however , that there Is u much
larger Inllux of northern capital to Texas
now than there has over been before. I urn
also convinced that more people from the
north and east are making the northern part
of Texas their homos. As to other parts of
Texas I cannot ttpauk with knowledge , as It
Is some yuaiti since I visited the southern
tier of counties ; but the rate of progr iis is
so rapid that Texan Is rapidly gutting rid of
Its crudity , its lack of business enterprise ,
and disregard of business methods. Iu cities
which I have vlsltod , I can only account for
this on the theory that northern capital nnd
northern men have Instated on mow conservative
vative methods than wcro employed before
they came , nnd business men In Texas frank
ly admit their obligations to northern men
for placing the business of Texas on a moro
conservative and secure basis than It was In
other davs. This conservatism gives
strength , for conservatism Is the basis of safe
Hnanclal Investment. I may glvo the result
In another letter of observations In other
cities as I tlnd time and opportunity.

Tlio Tough Was Smart.
A tall , square-shouldered man , with a
full gray beard and a German cast of
features , came out of the postofllco about
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon , says the
Now York Sun , and started across Park
row. Ho was just stopping on the east
ern curb when a tough-looking young
man in a llanncl shirt lurked his watch
out of his pocket , and tearing it from
the chain by a vicious tug , started oft .
The old gentleman jumped after him
and caught him by tlio collar of his coat.
The thief promptly returned the watch
to its owner and then said :
"What's tlio matter wid yer ? I hain't
done nothin. "
A crowd gathered , of course , and
looked on unconcernedly at the strug
gling thief and the now 'highly excited
old gentleman. The latter yelled loudly
for the police , but no bluecoat appeared ,
and the situation was growing very ex
citing , when the thief slid out of his
coat and dashing across the street disap
peared in the postolllco. Tlio old gen
tleman stood in a dazed condition , with
his watch in ono hand and the thief's
coat in the other. Finally ho shook his
head sadly , said a bad word , and walked
oil down the street dragging the thief's
coat after him.

Curiosities of Crime.
Some interesting facts of crime are
revealed by a Scotch sheriff. Ho knew
of ono woman who , between the years
1844 and 1SG5 , was committed to prison
167 times for being drunk , and when
drunk her invariable practice was to
smash windows. A man when drunk
stole nothing but bibles and was trans
ported for his seventh theft. Another
man stole nothing but spades ; a woman
stole nothing but shoes ; another nothing
but shawls ; but the queerest thief was
one who stole tubs and was sent to penal
servitude for his seventh tub.

Waller ticsattt.
THE QUEEN OF TABLE , WATERS. ' ,
Within less than a year three different Judges have
granted Injunctions protecting the well-known Yellow
APOLLINARIS LABELS from infringement.
The last defendant used an oval yellow label and a yellow
neck label on Mineral Water , and employed eminent Counsel
who vigorously defended the suit. The Supreme Court ,
when granting the injunction , expressed the opinion that
bottles of other Mineral Water put up with orange coloured
labels may well be mistaken for Apollinaris at a short
distance and without close inspection.
