The BLUE FLOWER They tell that In Scot
land is battle field On which the natives Of
the soil and the Saxon once met in terrible
conflict. No monument marks the scene of
the bloody eight. All over the field grows
the beautiful Scotch heather except in one
spot. There little blue flower grows abun-
dantly. No flowers like them are to be
found for many league around. Why are
they there? The reason is this; just In
the spot where they grow the bodies of the
slain were bnried, and the earth was satura-
ted with the blood and the remains of the
unhappy victims. The seeds Of the foWer8
were there before AS soon as the blood
touched them they sprang up. They de.
veloped And every blue flower on Cullod-
ems field, as 1t bends TO the nounteln breeze
is memorial OF the brave warriors who
dyed that heathery sod with their crimson
gore. So 1t ia with character. The seeds of
action lie deep beneath the surfsce-the
seeds Of heroism and the seeds Of crime
Good and evil gems lie latent in the hearts.
For life time they may remain unknown
and unrecognized-perhaps never are de-
veloped in this lower world. The seeds Of
the blue flowers at Culloden would probably
have lain there undetected to this day, but
for the trickling about them OF human blood.
That called them forth.-Dr. T. L. Cuyler.

Attention, Properly Owners.

Protect your fences, fence post S
shingles, sheds, agricultural implements
and all wooden structures above or in the
ground against rot and decay by using
our patent paint "Carbolineum Avena-
rius," as it costs but very little. A pine
post properly painted with this compound
will last fifteen years.
The German and English governments
are using it on all public buildings, and
recommend it as the only actual, positive
wood or stone preserver in the world.
In several European countries it has
been used extensively for the last fifteen
years with the best result,1 and we shall
be pleased to show testimonials of the
best authorities to that effect. The Erie
Telephone and Telegraph company of
Austin have been using Carbolineum for
several years on their posts and CROSS
arms with such a satisfactory result that
they have recently given us an order for
200 gallons, and we take pleasure in re-
ferring to them and Mr.. VIM. f. Pillow,
superintendent of supplies of the above
named company, who has also expert
mented with Carbolineum with very sat
isfactory results as to the preserving
quality of this compound.

Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, concurred
with this view, which was oontroverted

FITTING OUT THE CRUISER.

The Charleston Will be In Fighting Trim
in Thirty Days.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 31.-The work
ing force of the steel cruiser Charleston
has been largely increased, but whether
owing to instructions from Washington
or not is not stated. There are at pres
emit 400 men employed on the vessel.
Her engines and machinery are all in
and her boilers are being cemented. Car
penters are busy fitting up the saloons
and state rooms. Painters are hard at
work giving her iron sides coat of dark
slate color, and blacksmlth5 and machin-
lists are to be seen crowding her decks.
When completed the Charleston will be
taken to Mare island to have her arma-
ment placed on board. This is much
heavier than that of any American YES
sci of war at present in Samoan waters.
1t was not expected the trial trip of the
Charleston would take place before the
middle of March, but the present activity
indicates she will be ready considerably
sooner.
Superintendent Dicket, of the Union
lrOu "Orhs, was d5heu uOW oOOu Jue YES
sci could go to see il fighting trim, if
necessary
"Well, she might get away in thirty
days, if it was absolutely necessary to
have her ready by that time"
The cruiser San Francisco, now build
ing at the Union Iron Works, will be COM
pleted in much shorter time than was
the calculation. The superintendent esti-
mates it will require eightmonths to COM
plete this vessel.

ADMITTING THE TERRITORIES.
Caucus of Republican Senators on the
Proposed New States.

Caucus of Republican Senators on the
Proposed New States.
WASHINGTON, January 31.-The republi-
can senators to-day in caucus resumed
consideration of territorial matters, and
it resulted in the adoption Of resolution
to insist upon the admission as states of
North and South Dakota, Montana and
Washington. While it was regarded as ex-
pedient that constitutional convention
should be called in the two Dakotas to
pass upon the new constitutions, the re-
publicans resolved that another vote
should not be required upon the question
of division. There was a lack of
unanimity, however, in regard to New
Mexico, which the house bill proposes to
admit on like terms with the other terri
tories, and senators we're not wanting who
advocated the adoption of a broad non
partisan policy which would include that
territory in the benefits to be accorded its
sisters.
1t was urged on the other hand land
the argument appeared to meet with the
approval of majority of the senators
presently that owing to the peculiarities of
the people of New Mexico the territory
was not yet fitted for ad-
mission. Statements contained in
the petition from Albuquerque
against admission recently presented to
congress were quoted with effect in this
convention. The final decision of the
caucus was that the committee on terri
tories should frame substitute for the
house bill that should be so broad in
policy and fair in terms that its rejection
by the house would saddle that body with
an unpleasant responsibility to the peo-
pie of the west.
When this bill is made up it will be
push ed through the senate with expedi-
tion, as it is the desire to reach the con-
ference stage at least this session.

FESTIVE TRClRINA.
Unwholesome Pork Sold in the
City Markets.


Some of the pork sold in this city is
from hogs fed solely for days and even
weeks on cast-off scraps of meat and offal
at the slaughter pens. Physicians and
scientists and experience pronounce such
pork absolutely unfit for food and posi-
lively dangerous to health and even life
1t is in such pork that the festive and
much dreaded trichina develop and reach
their most active and deadly vigor. There
is no law in this city to prevent the sale
of any kind of meat, and few years ago
The STATESMAN was actually called on to
expose the sale of dressed polecats pub
licly sold as mule-head rabbits. market
master and inspector should be appointed
to watch over and see that animals
slaughtered are in health. Above all the
inspector should see that cattle are not
starved and kept without water until on
the eve of perIshing and then killed to
proven their dying from the effects of
their bad treatment. But, what TIE
STATESMAN especially calls attention to is
the pork sold by some of the butchers. 1t
is positively dangerous. Let the CITY
council create the Office of market in
spector and let it be done at once.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TAYLOR, January 30.-Rev. M. Grant,
of New England, is delivering series of
lectures in the Christian church, and his
efforts in illustrating the history of the
Bible is spoken of in fattering terms on
all sides.
Some hoodlums stole several buggy
whips and broke eggs over saddles at the
church last night.
cooking main for $1,000 will soon
come off in Palestine.
The day trains on the International
and Great Northern are arriving on
time and prove q great convenience
to the travelling public. Beginning to-
morrow an accommodation train leaves
Taylor over the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, leaving at 5:45 in the morning and
arriving at 1926 at night, Running between
Taylor and Alvarado.
A delegation representing every part of
the proposed county of Willie, including
representative business men and heavy
tax payers from Williamson, Milan and
Bell counties, to the number of nearly
one hundred, left here last night
for Austin. The committee will
give the advocates and opponents a
nearing tomorrow, and it is safe to say
that if the legislature will give heed to
the facts and figures and urgent business
reasons advanced by the advocates of the
new county, they will be astonished to
find how much misrepresentation has
been used in an endeavor to defeat a
measure which is sought earnestly and
honestly by nearly 5000 voters and tax
payers, representing a property of ST.
100000.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON, January 31.-The ways
and means committee met to-day for the
purpose of beginning consideration of the
senate tariff bill, but adjourned to Satur-
day without progress. Treasury experts
have not yet submitted their estimates of
the probable effect on the revenues of
amendments made to the bill in the SEN
ate, and it is not likely that much will be
accomplished until these computations
are sent in.
