BIsHoP BREWER, of Montana, who has
been seeking missionary workers, thinks he
will have to get recruits from England.
sin the old country there IL surplus of
clergymen compared with the demand,
but in the eastern part of the United States
one findsa comparative scarcity, especially
among those who are willing to give up
tho social and intellectual attractions of
city llfe." Considering tho small wages
earned by the best men 1t might be argued
that there is surplus of clergymen COM
pared with the demand In this part of Penn
sylvania. Strange, though it may appear,
brains and education earn less money in
teaching, writing and preaching than
In any other fields, and this may
be because the service is above the
value of filthy but very desirable
lucre. The laborer Is worthy Of his hire
but in these lines he seems to be worthy Of
higher reward, and If he would only go
West and scramble for the latter, the brain
workers left I'm the East could command
higher wages, and the rewards OF labor be
pushed to a higher level all around. Bishop
Brewer is right; there are many strong
and active men ut for the rougher labor
who are tempted by the social and intel
lectual attractions of city life, where others
unable to rough IL might do their work
just as well.

DIR. RUsH SHIPPES HUIpEKoPER, Of
Philadelphia, has been In Washington this
week pushing his plans for the organization
Of competent veterinary service for the
United States army. He says thousands Of
horses died during the war which might
have been saved by little knowledge of
veterinary medicine and he now wants tho
government to establish veterinary corps
In the army, consisting OF chief, with tho
rank of major of cavalry, and twenty as
sistants, ranking as first and second lieu
tenants. Thcre are about twelve hundred
horses and mules in tho army worth over
two million dollars, and while many of the
officers are skilful amateurs In the care Of
horses, 1t would, no doubt, pay well TO
have small corps Of veterinarians gradu-
ated from first-class schools. DR.. Huide-
koper complains that America is far behind
European nations In this branch of medi.
cine, and the ease with which anyone may
become practitioner Is certainly astonish-

The Lancaster Inquirer very pertinently
says that "the Philadelphia Times has been
mad at the pardon board, and at everything
else that stands in the way Of judicial
murder, ever since II was unable to secure
the hanging of Samuel Johnson, alleged TO
have been guilty of murder in Delaware
county, but of which there was absolutely
no proof. No wonder that 1t feels kindly
toward Judge Patterson for his remarks
made to our grand jury on Monday. 1t is
our opinion, however, that tho community

law affords TO alleged criminals, rs 1t would

mitted TO run the legal machine without

THE TEXAS CENTRAL.
Judge Patterson's Decision In the ReOrganizal
ton Matter.

Judge PattersOn's Decision In the ReOrganizal
ton Matter.
New YORK, December 26.-Judge Patter-
son, of the supreme court, today handed
down decision in the suit of NJ Gernsheim
& Co., stockholders in the old Houston and
Texas Central railroad, continuing the in
junction restraining the Central Trust COM
pany as trustee, G. P. Huntington and others
from issuing stock of the reorganized Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railroad company.
The plan of reorganization pro-
vided that the stockholders might
have an. equal amount of stock in
the company, upon payment of
70 per cent. If they did not come in on
these terms the Southern Pacific Railroad
company was to have the privilege of TAX
ing the untaken shares on better terms
Justice Patterson says that it is apparent
that Mr.. Huntington and his associates
aspire to the ownership ofthe railroad in or
der to make it tributary to their own lines.
While the stockholders must pay proper
assessment, Justice Patterson says he does
not understand that the Central Trust COM
pany has arbitrary power in fixing the as
sessments. The stockholders have the
right to know the amount of the floating
debt and are entitled to fair and open ac-
count of the company's indebtedness.
1t is alleged the assessment was unneces-
sarily high and made in bad faith to bar
out the present stockholders, and enable
the Southern Pacific to acquire the prop
erty.
Judge Patterson says the assessment of
70 per cent, or 5,640, 1897, upon total issued
capital of $7.726,9O0, is heavy sum with
which the shoes are weighted at the
birth of the new corporation, and 1t
is clear the stockholders Of the old corpo-
ration alone are to share that burden and
that the Southern Pacific would get the
stock at about "a per cent.
Judge Patterson finds the old stockhold-
ers are entitled to details of indebtedness
and in order to make effective any judg-
ment the plaintiffs may obtain the right to
the distribution of the stock of the new cor
poration until the trial ofthe complaint,

"ANCIENT RACES AND THEIR ART"

Most certain it is that we are but
creatures of nature; STILL shall insist
that we are decided improvement on
the lizard or the tadpole, and 1 pro-
pose to have for the human race all
the credit that is due it, and not give
all the praise to people who died three
thousand years ago. / know we are
not smart. We cannot make light
ming, nor have we got a recipe for
making thunder; we couldn't manu-
facture decent cyclone or touch off
a volcano on Christmas, but we are a
great deal smarter than the ancients.
One of the great poets, Alexander
Pope, once wrote:
''He who through vast immensity can
pierce,
See worlds on worlds compose one uni
verse;
Observe how system into system runs,
What other planets circle other suns,
What varied beings people every star
May tell why God has made us what we
are."
Pope had evidently read up on the
subjects of thought and sense, but he
didn't mention the ancients as being
wiser then we are. Now, in olden
times, when kings and princes couldn't
read or write, and the philosophers
and possibly astronomers believed that
the stars were little holes bored in a.
sort of blue roof or tent; when they
thought that the world was fiat, and
the sun and moon after setting skip
ped around in the dark until break
fast time next morning; when men
were used to paddle their ships of war.

from shore; when the people threw
rocks at an eclipse of the sun to scare
away some mean spirit; l say, when
the smartest OF them didn't know as
much as one of our 12-year-old school
boys-boys who can place their fingers
on a map in the dark and locate any
country on the face of earth, or tell
the latitude and longitude, from a
given point, of any island in the great
oceans from the torrid to the frigid

very tedious process of development
the Constitution became what it now
is, one of the leading journals of the
South. When Mr.. Grady died he left
his wife one-third interest in the
paper, which is valued at $250,000.
The history of the Constitution has
been duplicated in almost every city
of Texas that is now supporting a
daily paper. The owners went hungry
that their employees might eat. They
paid their printers bills even though
their landlords looked on them with
eyes askant. In time they paid
everybody and are now the possess
ors of properties which are be-
coming more valuable every
year. He is very foolish fellow
who says that these men do not de-
serve their success, because they have
worked in anticipation of the time
when the night would fall and no
man could work. They have been, in
in a measure, unse1fish in their la
bors, for while building up their jour
mails they have built up the State as
well. There is many a real estate
agent in Texas today ridir g in chaises
who would be terribly poor, be Jases,
but for the daily press which has
brought him buyers. There is many
a merchant who will sleep tonight
upon a bed of down who would
be going broke splitting fence
rails for living but for the
morning papers which have brought
him customers. In fact, the more the
Express thinks about it this merry
Christmas the more strongly it be-
lieves that the press of Texas, matin,
vesper and hebdomadal, is four-ply
daisy and deserves something good at
the grand gift concert to be holden in
the hereafter; that in the future, as in
the past, it may continue to be stay
to the weak, an ally to the strong, a
menace to to the wicked, comfort to
the widow, shield to the fatherless, a
mentor to the politician, terror to
the officeholder and gold mine to it's

the only really religious morning pa

zones - then it becomes a chest
nut to call those old super
animated mossbacks smart. Now,
those people who lived then never had
a square meal, for the simple reason
that there was not much worth eating
in the way of luxuries. Now a gen.
tleman can sit down to banquet fit
for the gods, with oysters from a
southern ocean, game from the north
pole, coffee from the eastern hemis-
phere, and fruits from the western,
and, while enjoying luxurious and
fragrant cigar from Cuba, can hold
converse with the car of Russia.
Then, talk about ancient art. Where
is Nineveh? 1t is not there, it has
gone; but, as Mr.. and Mrs. Sardanapa-
las, Miss Semiramis and Queen Nito-
cris are all dead and have been for 5000
years and can't jaw back, we give it
the benefit of doubt and admit
Nineveh as fact. But we are tired
of having it Haunted in our faces that
those old fossils of buried centuries
had all the sense and we haven't any.
People in the nineteenth century live
better and see more in six months
than those people did in
lifetime. The originals of tie
mummy" system could not
read or write, couldn't chisel out a
decent piece of sculpture; they never
read a big daily paper, never rode
across the continent in a Pullman
sleeper, never sailed around the world
in million dollar steamship; they
would have been paralyzed at the
incandescent light; they never had a
telegraph wire or ocean cable. Talk
about sense They never knew
Thomas Edison or saw Booth play
"Hamlet." Wonder what the old
barbarians would think of modern
man-of-war, with hundred and ten
ton gun stuck on the pilot house?
Sense, eh? Why the East River
bridge, the Eifel tower at Paris, or our
statue of liberty is far superior to the
Chinese wall, the Sphynx, the Pyra-
mids or the COLOSSUS of Rhodes, and
our city of Chicago would make the
ancient city of Nineveh appear as a
country village. Don't tell us that
those old widowed and motheaten
mummies of secondhand past are
smarter than we are! JAY P. CRAIG.

A MAYNARD WOMAN
After Several Attempts Succeeds in Ending
Her Life.

After Several Attempts Succeeds in Ending
Her Life.
The woman who swallowed poison
Christmas evening died yesterday
morning in spite of all medical skill
could do for her.
Justice George Calhoun held an
inquest, at which several witnesses
were examined.
George Adams testified that she
knew the woman. Her name was
Rosa Wilson, but she was COM
monty called "Indian Rose" She
died at her room in build
ing on Fourth street, between
Colorado and the Avenue. About 4 80
p. m. on Wednesday: ~ noticed some
thing strange about her; the looks of
the deceased. She was nodding and
seemed drowsy and l called for help
and Aunt Sophie, a colored woman,
came and we picked her up and laid
her on bed and rubbed her with our
hands and sent for DR.. Lewright. He
came about dark and worked with her
until about l o'clock, when he left.
She died about A o'clock this morn
ing. When l first noticed her she
told me she had taken morphine. She
had been in her room all day. She
was not in the habit of taking NOR
mime that / know of. She had not
been despondent."s
Other witnesses testified to the
same effect.
The woman had made several at
tempts before to take her life, but her
condition was discovered in time for
the doctors to save her. Christmas
evening, howe yer, the poison got in
its work before doctor was called,
and she died as stated. She was
buried yesterday.
