The city ana exposition authorities are en tertaining today the handful of survi vors of Terrv's Texas rangers, who have taken advantage of Tennessee's big show to hold tneir thirtieth re union in this city. It was here that the rangers began their campaign in 1801. They fought the rt ar guard of Albert Sidney Johnson's retiring army when he fled before Thomas and, cro-s-ing the Cumberland, took refuge in Nashville. The Texans were compell ed to bear the brunt of the fighting on the retreat, and they made a record which is still one of the brilliant mem ories of those allied with the "lost cause."

Ruins in Ceylo: One of the most remarkable of the ruins in Ceylon is Mimintale, the mountain city. A rocky mass arises anruptly from the plain to a height of 1000 feet. The slopes are no v covered with dense forests from the base al most to the top, except on the space where a gigantic stairway of granite slabs leads up to the summit. This might well be taken for a part of the natural hill; in reality it is a huge ruin ed edifice, the remnant of a dagaba, in the construction of which millions of bricks have been employed. Near it are other dagabas of great '.e, and, besides these, rock-cut chambers and many other remains of the ancient monastery. The city Is associated with sacred memories in the history of Ceylon. Here it was that the nation, in the third century before Christ, adopted Buddhism, Gotama himself is said to have visited the is land, the inaabitants of which were then snake worshippers, and to have converted the king. On the second visit he left his footprint on the rock as he rose into the air from the summit of Adam's peak. But this sign is ap propriated, as is well known, Dy the followers of different creeds to divers personages. The Mahommedans at tribute it to Adam; the Portuguese Christians were divided in opinion as to whether it had been left by St Thomas or by the eunuch of Candance, queen of the Ethiopians. Indeed, some critics go s far as to doubt whether Buadda ever visited Ceylon at all, whatever may be the origin of the foot print. That's What She Dill. The Chicago Chronicle says that a delicate woman on the witness stand, being requested by a lawyer to please state to the court exactly what you did between 8 and 9 o'clock on Wed nesday morning," after a moment s reflection replied: "Well I washed my two children and got them ready for school, and sewed buttons on Johnny's coat, and mended a rent in Nellie's dress. Then 1 tidied up my sitting room and made two beds and watered my house plants, and glanced over the morning paper. men 1 dust ed my palor and et things right in it, and washed some lamp chimneys, and combed my baby's hair and sewed a button on one of her little shoes; and then I swept out my front entrance and brushed and put away my chil dren's Sunday clothes, and wrote a note to Johnny's teacher ask ing her to excuse him for not being at schoo: Friday. Then I fed my cana ry bird -and gave the groceryman an order, and swept up the back porch; and then I set down and rested for a few moments before the clock struck nine. That's all." "All. ' said the dazed lawyer ''Excuse me, judge; I must get my breath before I call the next witness." Accused of Wife Murder. Batavia. N. Y. June 21. Th'8 morning at 10 o'clock Howard.

The week to which the minds of English men and English women the world over have for a year or more been turned is ushered in with proverbial "quean's weather." The multitude of visitors has been largelv added to sinc Saturday, and careful estimates place the number of transients within corporate limits at a fuil million. Business of all kinds is about suspended and the thoroughfares between the Bank of England and Hyde Park were thronged with pedes trians this morning to such an extent that rapid movement was an impossi bility. By order of the local govern ment board, a second and special in spection of a number of stands on the line of tomorrow's parade is being made today, the authorities being de termined to use all the power of the department to the end that possible catastrophes may be averted. It is not improbable that a num ber of stands or seats for which high prices have been paid may be razed before morning under summary condemnation. The city proper, as-well as the surrounding resi dence districts, is gorgeous with flags, transparencies, decorations and jubilee mementoes of all kinds. The royal salute usually fired at the ports and military statiors in the kingdom on June 20th, the anniversary of the queen's accession, and which cereaoony should have taken place today out of respect to the Sabbath, has been de ferred until tomorrow, when it will be iueretst d to sixty guns. Lite this a'teruoon Queen Victoria will enter the city in stmi-state. The departure from Windsor will be made about three o'clock. From Padding lon station to Buckingham palace the streets will be lined with troops, and the journey will be impos.ng in the ex treme. Tonight there will be a banquet at Buckingham palace in honor of the royal guests, and later a reception of members of the dip'omatic corps and th - special representatives of foreign countries. To the great rel:ef of all today is warm, bright and promising. Business throughout the metropolis is practic ally at a stand still and everybody is tatting a holiday. Street traffic is con fined to the multitudes of pleasure parties, and sightseers. The queen ac companied by the.

Royal stan dard was hoisted over Buckingham palace. The popular ovation was unprece dented for enthusiasm. The stock exchange this morning presented a stirring scene, when 5000 voices sang in a chorus. Ladies were present for the first time in the history of the exchange. What Bntler Says. New York. June 21. A special dis patch from Washington quotes Sen ator Butler of North Carolina as say ing: 44 If we annex Hawaii, it will start on a policy which will lead to monar chy. The annexation of Hawaii would necessitate the building of an immense navy for holding the island and that would mean a tremendous outlay, more than the islands is worth." Was Made in Haste. Washington, June 21. A close ex amination of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by senators develops additional evidence of the haste with -which it was prepared, and renders certain the necessity for a more thorough conside ration of the provisions by the senate than was had in the state department before Sherman gave it his perfunctory signature.
