There was n llttlo English hey who loft Sau Antonio baforo I h-id reached It , but whoso name and fume remained behind him , says Harpor'a Weekly. Ho ' was 18 years of ago und just out'of Eton , where ho hud spoilt all his nockot-inonoy In hotting on the rucos through commis sioners. Gambling wns his ruling pas sion tvt nn iigo when gingor-pop and sweets appealed moro strongly to his contemporaries. His people sent him to Texas with100 to buy nn interest in n runch , and furnished him with n cotnpleto outfit of London-mndo cloth ing. An Englishman who saw the boy's box told mo ho had noted the different garments packed carefully uwny , just as his mother had placed vhom , nnd onch marked with his namo. The Eton boy lost the 400 at roulette the first week after his nrrival In San Antonio , and pawned his line clothes in the next to "goth.xck. " Ho lost all ho ventured. At the end of ton days ho was peddling fruit Around the street in his bare toot. Ho made 25 conls the first day und cur ried it to the gambling house , 'whoro ho hud ulrendy lost his lurgo fortune , nnd loiu ono 01 mo uoniors no would cut tlio cards with him for the monoy. The boy cut first nnd the dealer won , but the other wns enough of n gnmblor to see that the dealer hud stooped to win his last few pennies unfairly. The boy's eyes filled up with tears of indignation. "You thief ! " ho cried , "you cheated mu ! " The dealer took his revolver from the drawer of- the table , and , pointing it nt his head , said : "Do you know what wo do to people who use that word in Texas ? Wo kill them ! " The boy clutched the table with both hands and Hung himself across it , BO thut his forehead , touched the barrel of the revolver. "Vou thicfi" ho repented , und so shrilly that every ono in the room hoard him , "I say you cheated mo ! " The gambler lowered the trigger slowly and tossed the pistol b.ick into the drawer. Then ho picked up n $10 gold piece nnd nhnvod it toward him. "Horo. " ho said "that'll . , help take you home. You're voo tough for Texas. " _ _ HARRISON'S DOUBLE.

Scrrotnry Catlin Hm n Po\v IVoriU to Siiy on tli I'ruMint Controversy. OMAHA , Aug. i ! * . Ofllco of the Secretary of the Prospect Hill Cemetery Association. To the Editor of Tuts HKIJ : In view of the frequent statements that have appeared In the dallv press , through the council proceed ings and elsewhere , with ro Co roue 3 to the Prospect Hill Cemetery assoclatlsn acquir ing from the estate ot the Into Mr. Byron Hood that portion of land tn said cemetery lying between the present occupied portion thereof and Parker street , the same being 127 foot north nnd south and extending from the cast line of the cemetery to Thirty-third street on the west. I doslra to make a few brief statements of facts in connection there with , In order tluitlotowuors In Prospect Hill cemetery and thn public may gain some in sight into the true situation nnd the motives that have given Hsu to the present agitation. 111 1805 Byron Hood platted and laid out into blricKs and lots for cemetery purposes what is now the north half of Prospect Hill cemetery nnd dedicated the streets nnd alloys therein to tha public uta. After wards a tract of land lying immedi ately south of the original plat , and nearly the same size , was ov Byron Hoed laid out Into a so-called Fir.it addition to Prospect Hill cemetery , und extended from tbo south line of the original cemetery to Parker street , and Includes the strip of 1-T fust wide now In question. This entire First addition was nt tint lima surveyed and laid off Into lots and bloctcs of unllorm size with the original cemetery by Mr. George Smith , who is now living in Omaha , and lots wcro sold on thU strip of l i" feet now In question and interments made thereon ; but. subsequently the lots in this strip of land wcro withdrawn from the market until the lots in the other portions of the como- tcry should bo sold nnd the same should bo required for burial purposes , and It has always been carried upou the books of Byron Hood as cmnetcry property , nud so stands to day , nnd during his lifo it was rocoguizd by him in court proceedings as a part of Prospect Hill cenutery. It has been repoatcdly assorted by tlio Forest Lawn Cemetery association "that Byron ll-jcd desired nud proposed that the area , extent and limit of Prospect Hill ceme tery should he restricted to the tract con- voyoJ by him to that association , nnd that its use for cemetery purposes should linally entirely ccaso and the ground bo used by the city for a public park. " I desire to state that these assertions are absolutely and utterly false , of which I have loiitivo proof , over tbu signature of Bvron Hood. At the tlmo when the change of the on- .r.inco was made fr9n * the east to tno south side of the cemetery it was made by the t'rospoot Hill Comoterv association with the full consent nnd approval of Byron Hoed , 'ounded upou the fact that , thU strip of land was a portion of Prospect Hill cemetery. At the time of Mr. ll-jod's death negotia tions were pending for again placing this strip of ground on the inarKot for burial pur- > osos , the consummation of which was noc- issurily delayed In the settling up of his es tate. tate.A few weeks prior to Mr. Rood's death in company with Mr. Samuel Burns I called upon Mr. Hood ut his reaidanco for the pur- jose of talking ever comu'.ory matters , nt vhlch tlmo woreculvod much Interesting und valuable information with reference to Pros- loct Hill cotnotery. In thai interview , which lasted several lours , Mr. Heed assured us that at the time ho quit-claimed that portion of Prospect Hill cemetery named In the dead to the Forest . .awn cemetery association , that l < o had no doa or intention of its abandonment. That n deeding to that association for the nominal consideration of SI between $5UOO and $10,000 w'orth of vacant lots in Prospect llill como- , ory , most of which were sold by the Forest luwn association bofoiM tboy abandoned It , hat ho uid so for tno sole purpose of relieving hlm elf of further caru and responsibility of the cemetery and believing that ho.was placing It in tlio hands of an association that was legally und other- vise In a position to care for and maintain t as he hud done , und that they would do so. Ho expressed In the strongest terms his disapproval of the willful neglect and dosu- cratlon whicti the Forest Lawn association mil permitted , and his full approval of the action of the lot owners In the organization of an association for Its future maintenance. Ho said that the Forest Lawn association should not hesitate 10 redcou the cemetery to the Prospect Hill Cemetery association upon ho same terms tboy had received it from ilm , and that if so desired tie would choor- 'ully unite In the execution of such a dead. He said that the clause In his dead to the forest Lawn association of reversion to , ho city of Omaha lor park purposes , should t ever cease to ho used ns n cernotory , was not intended nud could not bo construed us joing his wish that It should over ba abandoned us a cemetery , but was simply u provision for n possiolo contingency which le did nut uoliovo would ever exht , but which there might DO a possiuinty in tbo rur distant futuro. Those statements are fully verified by tlio 'actthat within six weeks thereafter , at his own request , ho was laid away nt ron in uoautlrul Prospect Hill cemetery , nnd today i massive and costly monument marks the ilaco tvticro ho sloops. It'has boon ascertained beyond n reason able doubt that tbo petition recently pre sented to tlio city council protesting airainst ho use of this land for cemetery purposus vas instigated oy members of the Forest uwn ( Jemotory association , uuu tint the bald petition was circulated nnd signatures irocurod thereto by pjrsous employed by hem for that purpose. It Is not , difficult to dollno tbo motives that vould naturally prompt that association to nanlfust u deep solicitude in the snnlUrv condition of that portion of the city , bouausu every intelligent person knows that wore it lo-islblo to enlarge the boundaries of Pros- ic > ct Hill cemetery , which It U not and whlun lioro Is no doslro or Intention of uolng , that t would DO a death blow to that luulllulloa aiid their money making scheme. No ono knows hotter than they that there s not that person living who would over rom choice no past Prospect Hill uamctory and go bovon long woamomo miles over un- mvcd roads , through the mud and slush of nnng , the heat unddustof summer , the raw , chilly winds of autumn , or the bitter storms and cold of winter , to lay away tholr dona , nly to return over the same long , woarl- oii'io road , sadder and mere sorrowful be- aiiBo ol tha d Is lance which separate ! ) them rom now the dearest spot un earth , und du- irives them ot the greatest comfort und irlvllugo this world can afford of frequently rlsitiug und tenderly caring for the luat roil- ng place of their loved ones. And yet for rears this community has bacu forced by ttm Forest Lawn association to submit to this Infamous nnd cruel ouiracro without tha slightest necessity therofor. when thorn nniplo space in bountiful Prospect Hill to moot the requirement * of thl * city for ninny year * to como. The city ordlnnnco forbidding the acquir ing of property within the aitv limits for cemetery nurpsios wits Intended solely to prevent the jstabllshinout of now cemeteries within sush limits find therefore is not iin- Pllcublo to this cnso. Taora can bo no good nnd valid reason given whr this narrow strip of land , which is comparatively worthless - loss for any other purpose , should not now no useil for the accommodation ofouroItU zins who desire lots tlioroln nnd bo made n source of revenue for the creation of n por. manont fund for the future maintenance nnd ornamentation of these nlroaclv beautiful grounds. It does not adjoin anv privnto properly , except Hint owned by the Hood os- into on the east. Other abutments are on rurkor street upon the soath , Thlrly-thlnl stroni upon the west nmt the prosunt ocou- J tiled portion of the cemetery on the north , nnd nro thorcforo absolutely trco from all ob jections upon sanitary grounds. 1 doubt If there Is n man living todav who owned n foot of properly within n mile of I'rospaot Hill before it was a comotory. Every property owuor within n mile of the cumotor.v bought his property with the full knowledge of Its existence and that In nil human probability It would alwars rnmaln u- comotor.v , which It surely will. If there was anything objectionable about the location they had the prlvilodgo of buying clsowhoro. but for reasons of tholr own they solootod ground In this Immediate vicinity In profor- oiico to all other locations , with the full Knowledge of tholr surroundings. The city council may Issue Its command * to the city attorney In dcllanco of his legal opinion nnil of law , but them Is something In tldscoinmuiilty higher and far tuoro power ful than a city council and that Is publla opinion , and publio opinion in Omahn today is ovorwholmlnglv In favor ot the protection of the dead as well as the living. Prospect Hill oomotory is the most beauti ful spot m Omahn , und very dear to the hearts of our pJopio. Around It nro clustered sacred momorlns ot early days nnd of these whoso names are conspicuously and Insep arably Identified with the growth and pros perity of our city. Our eldest , wealthiest nnd most highly ostooniod citizens are among tlio lot owners thuroln , any attumpt to ov"or- throwordeslroy It or to dlvost uny portion of It from tno sacred use or purpose for which ii has bjon dedicated and hold , wolud bo a blot upon civilization and n groas insult to the best element of this community. But that tlmo will never couu . Projpo'ot Hill cemetery will exist generations after these who are now living shall have pasted awav. A permanent fund has already boon estab lished for its future c.ira and milntnnnnna una sovor.il of our prominent citizens hnvl\ mails provisions In tliclr wills , bsqtiuathlnp * liberal sums to this fund , nnd otliorc will surely follow in their tniin. If nny parsons have auv doubts or foara in regard to Hbo future of Prospoot llill comotory. they can tllsmUs tUom forovcr with the utmost confi dence. It Is the Intention of the association to proceed - coed with the sala of lots as soon ns the nocossarv dlasrams and plats can bo nro- parou. These grounds are hiRh and beauti fully situated , overlooking the city ana sur- rouncliae country for iniloj in every direction , forming ono of the most nlctur'osquo and otiarmlng views nbout O.nahu , and the lots thoroln will bo union : ? the choicest and most desirables In the oomotory.

A chanol , sexton's ledge and retaining vault will follow as rapidly as the funds will permit. The sale of lots will bo duly announced. CIIAUI.BS F. UATM.V. Secretary. f RECOI1YED BUT DIDN'T KICK.
