= Texas Family.

An Askonishine Domestic Occurrence In
. Texas Family.
The State of Texas, which carries the
palm for large areas and other good
things, varies the monotony Of political
of years by increasing its population
in the most unexpected and surprising
ways. The little town of Ingersoll,
thirteen miles west Of Texarkana, on
the cotton-belt route, furnishes story
which for years to come will surely be
the cap shcaf. Tho story related by the
Kansas City Times special correspond
ent at Texarkana refutcs the gen.
eral theory that the negro race Is popu-
lating the South so much moro rapidly
than the whites.
1t also shows the great possibilities
Of the New South. Incidentally 1t Is
terrible warning to young men who
have married Texas widows. As mar
rated by the Times special correspond
ent the story reads this way:
On the morning of January 10 Mrs. e.
T. Page, OF Ingersoll, gave birth to q
girl baby Of six pounds weight. This
happened at nine O'Clock.
Tho father was much delighted with
the little youngster.
At 1880 companion girl arrived.
The second edition weighed four and o
half pounds. The fathers Joy was
doubled. Two girls had arrived to bless
the home circle.
At one o'clock another girl arrived
The third addition weighed four pounds.
The father, trembling and pale, re-
marked to the attendants that he was
much pleased.
At 1:l0 a fourth girl, Weighing Ave
pounds, arrived to complete the family.
The father tainted.
After recovering consciousness he
rushed to the telegraph Office. Taking
the operator aside, he whispered be-
tween his set teeth: "I can lick any man
in Texas to-day"
'What's tho matter?" gasped the as
tonished agent.
"My wife has just presented me with
four girl babies"
Without waiting to hear more the sta
tion agent, who was newly-married
man, escaped by y side door and has not
yet returned.
On January 10 the happy father visit
ed Texarkana and took out to his homo
at Ingersoll four cradles, a case Of sooth-
ing sirup, half q dozen bottles Of pare
goric, sixteen dozen safety pins, eight
nursing bottles and Jersey COW. Tho
mother Of the quartette Of Texas babies Is
q slight, pleasant-faced woman weigh
ing about 1875 pounds. She was former
ly Miss Atwood, and is q native of
Texas. About fifteen years ago she
married Mr.. Lupton. After his death
four years ago she was married to Mr..
%. T. Page, Of Ingersoll, Tex. Mr.. Page
Is small man. weighing about 10 or
115 pounds.
In their three years of married life
Mrs. Page has twice presented her hus-
band with twins, going that two better
with the quartette of girls, making eight
children in three years. The fond hus-
band and happy father expresses be-
lief that there will be six or more the
next time.

THREE TIMES DEAD.
A Soldier Who Read His Own Obituarie
and Still Lives.

A Soldier Who Read His Own Obituaries
and Still Lives.
"I don't look much like fellow who
has had his obituary written three sep
arate times, do II" said Colonel Albert
Barnitz, Of Cleveland, as he sat in his
parlor at tho Kimball, to an Atlanta
(Ga.) correspondent. II look hale and
hearty enough, / suppose, yet have
been mourned for dead. Once--and I
we'll remember tho time-General Gus
ter leaned over me and bade me good
bye, promising that my body should be
sent to Cleveland for decent burial. The
doctor had Just told me that couldn't
live twenty minutes; now poor Custer's
gone, that DOCTORS gone, and-well, I'm
here yet.
II served through the war in the
Second Ohio cavalry, one Of tho most
most noted regiments in the service. 1t
campaigned in 10 States and one Terri
tory, marching an aggregate distance
Of $1,000 miles. It served in flve
armies, and participated in 95 battles
and engagements, losing in killed and
disabled upward Of 1900 men. I had
the honor to command the regiment dur
ing the closing campaigns about Rich
mond. including the battles of Nnwid-
die Court House, Five Forks, Sailors
Creek and Appomsttox, and its achieve-
ments during that period are part Of tho
official history Of the war.
"After the war I was commissioned
in the Seventh Regiment United States
cavalry, and served with General Custer
in arduous Indian campaigns on tho
great plains, marching many thousand
miles and participating in numerous
engagements with the hostile tribes. I
have been supposed to be mortally
wounded on different oocasions-the
last being in an Indian engagement
known as the battle of Washita. The
ball passed through my body, entering
near the heart and passing out near the
spine, and the medical officers sorrow
fully assured me that I could not live
twenty minutes. The word went for
ward, as usual, that was dead again,
and SO my old friend, Murat Halstead,
Of the Cincinnati Commercial, wrote up
my obituary in good style, and for the
third time, reoounting how had writ
ten poetry in my youth and had COR
responded for his paper during the war,
and how had distinguished myself as
poet, journalist and warrior. He may
have even shed tear or two as parting
tribute.
"a few weeks later surprised him by
calling upon him to pay my respects as
I passed through Cincinnati on leave Of
absence. ] thought he appeared little
disgusted 10 be confronted by the appa-
rition OF ono whom he had so often glo-
riAed as dead. At all events, he said
on parting: 'Barnits, the next time you

The Senate will doubtless agree with the
Houses decision to postpone the worlds fair
at Chicago until May, 1898. The question of
the fair being disposed Of, it may be we'll to
recur to the matter of a memorial of Columbus
discovery of America at the national capital in
1892 Surely something will be done at the
capital of the great republic to testify the pub
lie appreciation Of the faith, genius and labors
of Columbus. III it shall be left to capitals of
other nations which he served to mark appro-
pristely the four hundredth anniversary of the
most imposing event in history, then will the
people Of the United States Of America have
cause to hang their eads in a common national
shame. But 1t cannot be SO. It must be that
the liberal vote of yesterday, which showed
what the peoples immediate representatives
thought was fitting and right in the matter of
the worlds exposition, foretells their action in
the more sentimental but no less historically
important commemoration at the capital of the
country. As to what form the celebration shall
take the people of the United States would
doubtless be satisfied with any signal and taste

The rejuvenance under brighter auspices Of
the southern states, the first settled of our
Union, is q matter of lively interest to all broad
minded citizena The burrows of war and the
traces OF the peculiar institution are fast disap-
pearing. But as rapid as has been the pro-
gress of that section in recent Years, there is a
determination on the part of the leaders there
Of the new industrial development to hasten
the day when il can be said that in manufac-
lures and other material things the south is
not behind any part of the nation. The expo
sitions at Boston, Atlanta and New Orleans
marked a new day with a white stone The
pioneers in those expositions are now promot-
ing scheme for holding in that city of the
north which shall manifest the greatest interest
IN the undertaking an exposition of the ma
terial elements Of southern prosperity. This
proposition is not alone business plan; in its
execution it will aid in diving what is termed
the sectional problem.

The restoration and improvement of Niagara
Falls, while primarily a matter for the state OF
New York, is Of much importance to the whole
American public, so large part OF whom visit
1t at least once in their lives. The commits
sioners Of the state reservation, in their sixth
annual report to the legislature, state that the
abrasion Of Goat Island by the great force of
the current accelerated at times by storms goes
on without check, and in the lack of funds no
measures OF a permanent character have been
adopted 1t would seem that a great state like
New York could afford to do more than appro-
pirate $4,000 year to so important labor as
that of the preservation of the greatest water
fall in all the world

very grave mistake will be made il the La

very grave mistake viii be made IL the La
nyette monument be placed, as now seems to
be seriously intended, in the south side Of La
fayeste sqaare, with the equestrian statue OF
jackson for . background looking northward;
and the effect will be quite as bad, and possibly
worse, looking southwark from Sixteenth treet,
when the outlines of the two groups will be
mixed in inextricable confusion. Not works
OF art, whether similar or unlike, should ever
be placed so near together that one will inter-
fere with the effect of the other, as must be the
case In the arrangement proposed. 1t is quite
certain that the distinguished sculptors of the
new group would protest against it if they IN
derstood its full import, and they cannot fail to
be disappointed should it be carried out That
We have been spared the blunder of placing the
lafayette group where the Peace monument
now stands b something to be profoundly
thankful for, but that escape is no excuse for
another mistake nearly as bad. As The STAR
has all along insisted, the true solution Of the
problem 10 10 place the Lafayette monument in
the center Of the square bearing his name,
where the Jackson statue now stands, and re-
move the latter to another suitable site, which
there will be no difficulty in finding. Dupont
Circle has been named in this connection, be-
cause the statue now there is too insignificant
in size and character for the large space as
signed to it; but should any other proper point
be chosen for it no objection would be urged
thereto. The main thing is to have the new
group properly placed, and the one site for it
ia the center Of Lafayette Square.
