native of Virginia but was nearly forty years
a citizen of Texas. For several years he was
i'm the habit of gravitating between his home
and some one locality. When he lived near the
Menger Hotel he was in the habit of going to
the menger saloon, but after Turner
hall was built and he moved his residence,
went to Turner hall. Twice Il day, in the morn
ing and in the afternoon he would enter and
sit in u large cane chair at a table near the
door. There he would sip long tOddy, what
is known here as COlquhOun's tOddy, and listen
dom spoke, only when Mr.. George Hilgers
brought his favOrite drink. All the street car
drivers knew him and stopped without receiv-
ing orders at his home and at Hilgers He al
ways sat in one corner of the car and when he
entered the driver would have it vacated for
him. He and his wife were noted for their love
for each other. They lived all their lives as if
their honeymoon were just begun. Both were
very fond of children but they were childlrss

to early days in Texas, and was noted for his

Slble. There was only one plug to which hose
could be attached and the fire soon compelled

San Fernando Cathedral,

Yesterday was the first Sunday in Advent
and the high mass at San Fernando cathedral
was largely attended The bishop was present
at the celebration which was performed 10y the
pastor the Rev. Father GenOlin. The musical
portion of the service, Il repetition of that of
last sunday. was, if anything, better rendered:
the solos and concerted singing being of high
artistic character. Mr. De Buna's violin solos
and OblOgatOs, and the organ accompaniment
OF Professor Barbour were very pleasing.
Mr.. Barbour has a very fine choir at his COM
mand. The improvement since he has acted as
chOir-master il very creditable To both the pu-
pills and the teacher. When the new organ is
erected there is no doubt that the musical ser
vices of the cathedral will equal if il does not
excel, that of any church in the state.
