DEEP WATER NEARER
Than Was Expected at Corpus
Christi and Ropes
Pass Texas

tuah was tNpeCteu at Corpus
Christi and Ropes
Pass, Texas.
Card to the Public:
The auction sale heretofore adver-
tised by US In these columns, will be
postponed n few weeks. This is in
consequence of the cheering progress
made by the contractors on the deep
water work at Ropes Pass, who now
assure us that instead of its being
few months before the Pass will be
formally opened, it will be but few
weeks. This being the case, we shall
postpone the great auction sale until
after the formal opening of the Pass.
Meantime all the properties hereto
fore advertised will be on private sale
and on easy terms, SO that those who
wish to enter into partnership with
us in the ownership of this very
choice property, can buy little or
much at ante boom prices. We be-
lieve the prices obtained after the
formal opening of the Pass will be
from 100 per cent to 2LL per cent
higher. We need money to keep the
work going vigorously, and will sell
at the present low prices until the
Pass is opened.
Remember our property is not low,
malarial and subject to overflow.
Corpus Christi is the bealthiest point
upon the entire Texas coast, and has
been endorsed in writing by 200 lead
ing physicians of Texas. IT. this re-
spect there Is o noted difference be-
tween Corpus Christi and some other
points On the coast.
Remem Der again, that Corpus Chris
ii is becoming q deep water port. 1t
will have 80 feet of water when our
works are completed. Sixteen or
eighteen feet of water Is not deep
water by any means and will not ad-
init heavy draft sea going vessels.
When you are paying deep water
prices be sure you are buying deep
water property.
Remember that the jetties at Ropes
Pass are being built of solid rock and
not brush and stone. All experience
shows that brush jetties are not per-
| manent and that the channels OBJ
| tanned by them are not permanent
| The government engineers have now
| entirely abandoned brush jetties on
| this coast.
| The following significant figures
| speak tor themselves:
| TOTAL LENGTH OF JETTIES REQUIRED
Galveston, 1000 feet to 30 feet depth.
VeaScO, 1O.SOO feet to I7$i feet depth.
| Ropes Pass, s 500 feet to 80 feet depth.
Before buying at any other poipt 8,
| those who are wise will make q per-
sonal inspection Of both. We will be
satisfied with your verdict.
The exact date of the great auction
| sale will be fixed shortly after New
Years day, and will be announced In
| these columns.
| But remember, that you can buy
prior to that date at private sale and
low prices.

THE RESERVOIR GANG.
The Man Who Did the Shooting Not
Known.

Five men were brought before Recorder
DCvine this morning charged with being
diSOrderly and each was fined S25. They
are all sporting men of this city and their
names are as follows: Lee Sapp, Adolph
Duff. Lee Cotton, VIM. Finley and j. b.
Finley. They were out driving and saw
Miss Morrison, a variety actress, with
Young man named Minzberger driving
out Austin avenue towards the reservoir.
The gang whipped up their horses and
started after the two in the front buggy.
On arriving in front of Mrs. Poole's resi-
dence two shots were fired. Mrs. Poole
stated before the judge about the'same as
appeared in the LIGHT few days ago.
She still says she saw only three car
riageS, while other witnesses say there
were four. She could not swear who did
the shooting.
On Thursday, after the occurrence, q
man, who seemed about middle aged,
came to the house and priced some lots;
while there a police officer also came up,
the stranger stepped into the hall and
waited until the officer had left, when he
came out and asked what it wCuld cost to
repair the place and was told at least 500.
He then said it would be worth more
than that sum to her if she would know
nothing about the shooting which Oc-

Those who were in the gang would
not say who had the gun, so the judge

Rev. Sam Jones appears to be at,
hieted with the dangerous malady
known as "slack jaw" Those who
suffer from this disease talk to fast
and ere often compelled to admit
that they have said to much. For
instance few nights ago Mr.. Jones
devoted large part OF his speech in
the tabernacle at Rome TO denuncia-
ton of the judge of the city court.
He was exceedingly severe and made
charg which, if true, would prove
that the Judge is utterly unworthy
OF this office. The very next day Mr..
Jones comes out in card and SAYS he
is convinced thai he had done IAN in
Justice to the judge whom he had
abused in the presence of a multitude
OF people. Mr.. Jones was convinced
that he had done the Judge a wrong
because the latter came to him en- a
kindly spirit" and assured him of the
fact. 1t is cieditable to Mr.. Jones 20
make public apology for an act Of
injustice to another which was com.
mitted in rublic. But it would have
been more creditable to Mr.. zones
had he taken care TO he sure OF his
facts before he heaped abuse upon a
man whom Mr.. jones now admits is
innocent Of what he charged against
him.
A slack jaw is a dangerous tool.

"HIS FELLOW MAN"

The world knows that Georgia's
great character, Alexander II. Steph.
ems, had life that was full Of disap.
pointments and regrets. Taking a
conspicuous part in a great drama, the
pail of gloom that fell over his people
tell with more force on him than on
most men, 1t was a common remark
with him that he had never known a
day that was not full of pain. He had
known as much Of the world as any
man of his day; had probed the great
depths of human nature and knew Its
toibles and failures.
Only few years before the end
came he said to friend that the hard,
est struggle of life had been to pre-.
serve his confidence in his iellowNmau
He had seen so much OF deception
and double dealing, OF so called di.
plomacy and downright depravity
had been 50 often the victim of APP,
peals made to his generosity by the
unworthy, that, il he had not been
blessed with more OF the faith that
makes the world better, than are most
men, he would have been ready to ex'
claim in his haste with one of old, all
men are liars.
it is, perhaps the strongest com,
pliment that could be paid to his
memory to say of him that, in spite
of all he had seen and suffered, he was
as ready to listen and believe during
the last years of his life as when he
faced the world a beardless and un
known boy.
A beautiful lesson can be learned
from his illustrious example in this
day of cheap cynicism and blatant
pessimism.
1t is not the men who are continu-
ally raving over the talseuess of the
world and the duplicity of man and
woman that add to the sum total OF
human happiness or that sootLe away
the rough places that prove great
stumbling b'ocks in the way of pro-
gress Of great enterprises.
1t is much easier to cast all mankind
into one general heap of falseness than
to believe that in spite of the Short
comings OF some, and in the face of the
fact that the beautiful flowers of Eden
have long since been trampled in the
dust, that there are good and true
men and woman, and flowers that
bloom by the way side in every mans
life, if he will only find them.
In spite Ct the mistakes the man
who believes in his fellow man may
make, he is angel light and mercy
beside the sour visaged doubters who
pluck only bitten fruits and VIII"
would prefer to be deceased in order
that he might sing his usual doleful
wall, 81 told you So
DO not, as you value your own hap>
piness. or that of those around you,
wear a frown as your breastplate and
a whisper of cynicism as your defense.
The men and women around you are
no worse, and no better, than your
self.
They are your fellow men, and res
member, with what measure of conf
dence you meet them you will be met.
The philosopher would sooner cherish
the pleasant delusion, even if it be a
delusion, to say that the world is full
Of brightness and beauty, than to find
in truth that all men were false, all
women moths that follow the paths
way left by the glare OF riches or fame.
