the shipment of Texas cattle.


The northward movement Of cattle
from Texas is variously estimated be-
tween 100000 and 100000 head annu-
ally. Chicago live stock reports men,
ton the fact that Texas cattle lose less
weight in dressing than Illinois cattle,
and their hides are also worth more,
and their yield of tallow is larger. No
doubt the immense. cattle movement
from the Southwest during the past FIVE
years has operated as disturbing ele-
ment in the live stock markets, and COM
PEELED the more intelligent cattle raisers
in the older States to supplant their
common stocks by improved breeds Of
cattle. Texas cattle will weigh on an
average 1900 pounds live weight Chi
cage has largely controlled this trade
since its Inauguration, Notwithstanding
that st. Louis has the advantage of short
er lines of communication with the cat
tie regions. The extension of railroad
facilities during the past two years has
removed many of the drawbacks to the
Texas cattle trade, and soon the long
drive of 700 or 500 miles will be aban-
domed. The rapid settlement of Texas,
too, is revolutionizing the trade there.
Widespread pastures will be restricted
by farming enclosures, and the pressure
of population. and the rise in the value
of land will soon demand greater econo-

The signal service is to be put to a
practical and advantageous use. In
other words, the surveys have been made
for the extension of lines of telegraph or
cable to the various life-saving stations
along our coast and from lofty flag
poles erected at these points, the signals
for dangerous weather and the direction
of the wind will be given. By shis
means it is thoug ht that vessels nearing
the coast can be warned in time SO that
they can stand to sea again should there
be signs of gale and should the dis
lance be great to the nearest port of
shelter. This is great advantage, and
had the service been in force last winter
would very likely have prevented the

A GREAT CATTLE COUNTRY.

Texas has been aptly designated the
great cattle country of North America.
In some regions of the State are found
cattle lands whose animated treasures
surpass, in numbers and value, even the
focks and herds of the great man of Uz.
Under remarkably favorable circum-
stances of climate and pasturage, foreign
breeds of cattle have been amalgamated
into common stock. They combine in
a large degree the better points of the
constituent breeds. The embarrassing
industry of Texas has reached wonderful
proportions, having taken fresh start
after the treaty of peace with Mexico,
twenty-f years ago. is noticeable,
too, that the cattle business of Texas in
its economical and productive conditions
has been gradually changing with the
growth of the resources of the United
States. For several years after the annex
alton of Texas, the domestic market rul-
ed very low. Stock cattle brought not
over 81 or So per head, while beeves
| fattened for market did not command
more than double these prices. These
rates, however, were remunerative under
the existing conditions of cheap produc-
ton.
/ The number of cattle in Texas at pres
emit is estimated at about four to one of
the population, whereas in several of the
other large States of the Union the pro-
portion is reversed Some of the ranches
are of immense proportions, embracing
from $4,000 to 10000 acres of land.
In 1870, one rancho, owned by Col
onel King was stocked with $4,000 cat
tie, 10000 horses, 1000 sheep and 5000
goats, and for the management of these
immense herds 800 Mexican herdsmen
and 1000 saddle horses were kept in
constant requisition. Therear at pres
ent equally large ranches. Turning his
animals loose to Craze at will over a
range of country often fly miles square,
covered with nutritious grasses. in gen.
ial climate, in which shelter is unneces
sary, the Texas stock raiser confines his
care to the Identification and marketing
of his animals. Since the opening Of
the so-ealled Texas cattle-trade, prices
have been constantly advancing. but the
hope that the Southwest would afford
cheap beef has net been realized Ne
are told that immense quantities of beef
are lost annually, like the waste wood o.
the forest for lack of means of preserv
ing it. and that hides rot on the ground
for lack of tanneries and because OF ths
: great cost of transportation to market

AARON BURR,S DAUGHTER.

1t was Theodosia, his daughter, SO
lovely, so pure, so intellectual, so haugh-
ty, and yet so soft and gentle, that OPEN
ed to Aaron Burr the brightest page in
this blotted volume of his life. "She
was nearly a complete realization of his
ideal of a woman" Upon her he law
ished theswealth of a. soul that over
flowed with secret tenderness. Long
after INSTALL from power, she was the
solitary star, shining in beautiful lustre
over the darkened and. rough pathway
of his life.
During his trial for high treason at
Richmond, in 1907, Theodosia, then the
brilliant leader of society in the most ar
istocratic city of the South-the wife of
Joseph Aston, distinguished imam of
South CaroIina-by her devotion, sagac-
ity and influence powerfully aided her
fathers defense. In the darkest hour of
that memorable legal drama she evinced
her deep affiiction in language as heroic
as it was beautiful Ny vanity" she
said, "would be greater if had not
been placed SO near you; and yet my
pride is our relationship. | had rather
not live than not to bel the daughter Of
such man"
A few years after. the Richmond trial
which resulted in victory for Burr
Theodosia met fate which is still en-
veloped in gloom and mystery.
At the close of the year 1912 she sail
ed from Charleston in vessel bound 70

father. Her husband was then Govern
or of South Carolina. Though he pro
vlded everything conducive to her saret
and comfort which wealth and infuenc

The Wawasset investigation is pro-
crossing in manner that is by no means
satisfactory. A good deal of time has
been wasted over unimportant details
that can have no real bearing upon the
case. and the affair drags its slow length
along with exasperating slowness. The
management of the boat was loose, and
the investigation is still more SO. A
tremendous responsibility rests some
where. Over eighty lives were lost, and
the public eagerly awaits some solution
of the causes which led to the disaster !;
but from the manner inswhlch the in
quiry is conducted they are likely to
wait for some time before their impa-
thence is allayed; and from present ap-
pearances there is every likelihood that
the disaster will be nearly forgotten in
the paltry side issues, to which so much
Importance is perslstently given. The
only point Of consequence that has at
present come out is that, at the moment
of the disaster, the engineer was attend
ing the bar, in the profits of which it
seems he had an interest 1t is to be
hoped that the committee of investiga.
ton will set more vigorously about their
work and come at once to the main points
in this terrible and apparently inexcus.
able disaster. The public has a right
to demand it, and there should be no de-
lay in bringing matters to speedy ter
minatlon.
