EASTER LILIES.
BY MRS. A. GIDDINGs PARK.

Oh, Easter lilies, sweet and fair,
That deck the sacred altar where
Your anthers tremble at each note
That through the quivering air may float,
Woke as by skill of magic hand,-
The organs diapason grand
Your waxen petals, heart of gold,
interpretations sweet unfold
resurrection message bring
That life from out of death shall spring!
What joy to nations yet unborn
Streams from that first bright Easter morn
Whose radiant dawn lit up the Gross
With faith and hope, brought gain from loss,
And pierced athwart the silent gloom
That gathered DER the Savlor's tomb.
Breathe out your incense on the air,
Oh, Easter lilies, sweet and fair!
For as He rose triumphant DER
The grave no more to feel its power,
So we shall break Deaths prison bars
And soar away beyond the stars,
Sweeping the skies with treless wing
To hail with joy our Lord and King,
On that bright resurrection morn
Which dawns for us, or soon OF late,-
That Easter, which His loved await.

whom can the proper care and training of the
young be Of greater interest than to women, and
who,are better fitted to direct our educational
system than they?
FROM an exchange we clip the following inter
esting incident relative to the recent appointment
of Sophia Jex-Blake as lecturer to the Extra
Mural Society of Edinburg. This society
has numbered ON its faculty some of the most
gifted men, but never before has such an honor
been conferred upon woman. DR.. Jex-Blake
was one of the five women who several years ago,
in the Edinburg Medical School, were ridicued,
insulted and even mobbcd by the students, and
finally refused examination or graduation by the
very faculty that had admitted them to the school,
Charles Reade took up the episode, rich in drama
tic possibilities, and wove it into his story of GA
Woman Halter, where now it is read as strange
bit of history. Twenty years ago, the sturdy
Scotchmen set themselves to stop an inspired
woman; and today EdinbrTg beasts of hospital
for women and children under the direction of
recognized women physicians
SoRos1s met March 18th at New York in the
great banquetng hall at Delmonco's to celebrate
double event, the twenty-second anniversary of
the club and to place on the roll of honorary men,
bers the name of Miss Amelia B. Edwards. The
Woman's Cycle, in long and interesting report
of the occasion, says of Mrs. Ella Detz Cymer,
the reelected presidents "Mrs. Clymer wore
striking gown of dull heliotrope in satin and
velvet and looked beautiful and queenly woman
when she rose to make the annual address. After
the usual greeting to the club Mrs. Clymer said:
This AGE has shown itself to be the age of organi
cation, of combination and the harmonizng of
diversified interests, and nothing is more remarka-
BILE than the rapid development of genius in
women as skilled organizers of bodies of their
own SEX She spoke of the Kings Dauters' as
another example of the power of associated
effort, and said, All women seem suddenly to
have awakened to the fact that in union there is
strength.
Miss Edwards followed the president with grace
full praise of America and the women she has met
during her visit upon this side Of the Atlantic

protection to honest capital. Texas
wanted more railways, especially in
the west, but she wanted them built

fore them that embodied all the in

Timely Suggestions.

EDIToR FREE PREss:-The present
campaign is prssibly one of the most
interesting Texas has had for O
long time.
The issue is worked up to point
toward which it has been tending
for several years. For many years
the common people have shown
lack of confidence in the railroad COM
panies, and have believed these COM
panies would not manage their bust
ness according to the laws of COM
mon justice.
On the other hand the r. r. have
had some preconoeived notions about
the results Of legislation, if placed in
the hands of the laboring class. No
one can predict the final results OF
this issue. That there will be rail
road commission appointed at the
next session OF the Legislature no
one doubts who believes in the obi
cations of our Legislative depart
ment to the majority. But just what
effect such q commission will have
in settling these differences is yet to
be seen. Soon after the Grange
movement or Farmer was against
monopoly was thoroughly organized
in the south, Georgia and other
States appointed this commission.
Some leading men say it is working
we'll, others say it is not. Both sides
are represe nted in these opinions.
Both arc interested. Whatever has
been the results in the past 1t be-
hooves citizens OF great and grow
ing State to look carefully to the
future. Everything in Texas points
toward q future prosperity hereto
fore unknown in her history. To
keep this moving, we should be wise
in selecting our wisest and most con-
sentative men to fill our offices of
trust. Let no outside theory or cam
paign thunder of any professional
politician bias the minds OF our
voters. The issue has two sides.
Each can be made to look plausi-
BILE without looking into its dement's.
Hence the necessity of looking care
fully into both sides. Any man can
heorize, but it takes practical men to
put practical thought in operation
for the best interest of the people.
Look well to the policy Of the man
for whom you vote. This year will
perhaps be one of the most thorough
political organizations Hays county
has ever had. Our farmer friends
will be largely responsible for the
conduct of men who are put in office
this year. They are also going to
have the control OF the next Texas
Let them be careful at
every point Policies might be in
that would prove detri-
mental to their best interest Fellow
citizens Of the yeomanry il this is
placed in your hands we look to you
to guard the ship with asteady band.
Go 10 your precinct conventions and
see that everything that can be is
done for the general interest Of the
people.

The School Board met in the City

electing teachers for the ensuing
term. With one or two exceptions,
all of the old teachers were reappoint-
ed. Those contemplating taking in
the convention at Galveston can do
SO with greater degree of pleasure
from the fact that they are sure OF
their place for the next term.
The addition to the central High
School building will be ready for
occupancy the beginning of the fall
term. The other Few buildings will
not be completed before january.
The weather has been oppressively
warm for the past week. Every one
that can possibly do SO has either
left or will leave soon for some cool
or resort to spend the heated term.
The Oak Cliff summer theatre has

it happened was this; he was stand
ing on the platform with several
other gentlemen when he heard the
news boy coming. Wanting a Ga
zette, he reached in his pocket for q
nickel and pulled out the $40 gold
piece. The conductor saw it as it
glistened in tie sun and asked him
what it was, Nothing but q 800
gold piece" the man replied. The
kind conductor stopped the train
and they all searched for it ten
minutes or more, but without sue
cess, finally the conductor said he
'was sorry but he must pull out. "
The unfortunate man upon arriving
at home gave the dearly bought
paper to his wife with the request
that she frame it and hang it in
