They will Send Miss Mary johnson to Har-
DIN a Companion to Miss Drake.
The open-handed generosity of the Fort
Worth and Denver boys was eXemplitied
yesterday by one of those acts which al
ways appeals to the big-heartcd rallrOaderS.
When assured that Miss Maydelle Drake
was the winner. they thought of Miss Mary
l.. johnson, the bright young daughter of a
widow. and what great advantage schOl-
arShip IN Hardin college would be TO her IN
preparing for the battle of life. Some one
started d subscription paper and in less than
two hours tn" sum Of 800 had been sub
scribed by the boys in the general office
alone. They propose that the railroad girl
shall have company at Hardin, and MISS
johnson will 90 there as tine protcge of the
railroad boys of Texas. They feel that she
will reflect great credit upon them,
and they propose to see that
she is well cared for while
she is acquiring an education. Not salts
fled with having won the victory for the
railroad queen, they deemed it incumbent
upon them to aid the fathcrless. TelegraIns
from the Union Pacific boys were 10 the eff
feet that the employees Of that system would
aid the Denver to the extent of $1,000 and
more if necessary. The boys are dead il
earnest and propose that none but men IN
the railroad service shall contribute. Fort
Worth has reason to feel proud Of the men
who man her great railroad systems. and
THE GAZETTE is only too glad to be able to
chronicle the fact that they are SO quick to
respond 10 the call for the benefit Of u
Young lady so thoroughly deserving of the
favor they propose to confer upon her.

Now Abdul Hamid finds himself unable
to cope with an insurreCtion that began
few weeks ago in the province of Yemen
and has already extended to the far inte-
rior OF Arabia. His treasury is empty, his
troops are few, and he can DO nothing but
accept to the fullest the belief of the fatal
ist and bow his head at THE will of God"
On every side the worn out empire of
which he is the nominal chief has been
shorn of wealth and territory. Since the
opening of the present century Turkey has
lost Greece, Montenegro, Moldavia, Walla-
CHA, Servia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria and
several other dependencies of less value.
Besides, its hold on Africa has so relaxed
as now scarcely to be felt.
Then there is a national debt of about
billion dollars. 1t had its beginning in
1854, when the reigning sultan was induced
to negotiate a small loan. BY additions,
interest, usury and the various methods
incident 10 financial operations" the
original sum of So, Cox, 900 has been swollen
to enormous proportions. So, penniless,
powerless and doomed the Turk sits in
active as there passes from him the even
nominal control of the country in which
are situated the two most holy cities OF
his religion-Mecca where Mohammed was
born, and Medina, the place at which he
died and where lie sleeps side by side with
his famous Successors, the caliphs Abu-
bekr and Omar
One prayer uttered at Medina, the proph-
ct asserted, is worth a thousand offered up.
at any other spot. The place was once a
seat of Arab learning, and although its
permanent population now is less than
10000, thirty schools flourish within its
walls. At Mecca rises the Caaba, or square
house" the hottest sanctuary of the Mos
lem, where reposes the black stone brought
by the angels from heaven. Not far from
this sacred relic are the graves of Ishmael
and Hagar, and the region thereabout is
redolent with memories and traditions OF
the heroic and fanatical days when Kha-
dijeh's epileptic husband declared, There
is but one God and l am his prophet" and

The revolted districts of Arabia include
the Sinaitic peninsula, the Hedjaz, or land
of pilgrimage, in which are located the
holy cities, and Yemen, which borders the
Red sea and extends back to the fertile in
terror. There the uprising began and there
flourishes Mocha, a city world famed as
center of the coffee trade. The other por
tions of the peninsula form the semidesert
domain of the wandering tribes of Bedouins
and Wahabees.
The faithful of Islam believe that signs
and portents, the crash of thunder and the
trembling of thrones, heralded the birth of
Mohammed. The palace of the Persian king
rocked on the bosom of an earthquake the
waters in the Lake of Sawa disappeared and
some occult power eXtinguished the sacred
s6ee of the Parsees, while the priests who
intellectually nursed the dying flame trem-
bled at the awful phenomenon. To these
miracles followed the military prodigies of
the caliphs; to the caliphs succeeded the
wonderful race of Gilman, which founded
the Turkish empire and in the Sixteenth
century assumed control of the holy cities.
Now there is only Abdul Hamid and
lettering realm. To them there is vouch-
safed neither supernatural nor earthly aid
as another province slips from the grasp
too weak to hold it.

KILLED ON A TRESTLE.
An Unknown Man Run Down by Il santa
Fe Train.
Special to the Gazette.

Spec!a! 10 the Gazette.
GALVESTON. TEx.. Aug. lS.-As the south
bound express on the Gulf. Colorado and
Santa Fe from Houston to Galveston, last
night was approaching the long trestle just
north of Alvin Junction under high speed,
the engineer noticed two men asleep on the
plank walk on the outside Of the trsck near
the north end of the treStle. He sounded
his whistle ana applied the air
brakes, but the speed of the
train was so great that it carried
it across the trestle. One of the sleeping
men became alarmed at the approaching
train and attempted to cross the track on
his hands and feet and was run over by the
engine, breaking both legs above the knees,
cutting off one arm and carrying away Il
piece of his skull He survived
but a few moments after the train
men reached him and groaned the
word Colorado" Whether this meant
that ne was from that state or what it was
intended to imply could not be aScertained.
His partner, who remained perfectly quiet,
escaped uniniured, but was so frightened
and excited that he could make no rational
statement beyond the fact that his name
was Henry Miller The remains of the
dead man and Miller were brought to Alvin.

Summer Devastation in Germany.

America has not been singular of late in
suffering from intense heat and severe
storms. Indeed. Germany has been far more
afflicted. Berlin and Hamburg experienced
the worst of the heat wave, fourteen cases of
sunstroke occurring at Berlin in single
day. All over the empire cloudbursts and
thunderstorms caused much damage and
loss of life, sweeping away houses, cattle
and crops At Ehrenbreitstein the fortress
and the lower parts OF the town were
flooded, people taking refuge on the house
tops. Many villages near Coblentz were
in such distress that the garrison went to
their help. The vineyards on the Rhine
and Moselle are much injured and the
mineral springs at Soden stopped up, while
railway traffic is impeded on several lines.
So, too, in the Bernese Overland, owing to
the severe storms.

1t is not of record in recent European
history that any monarch has received so
enthusiastic a welcome among strangers
as that lately accorded the young emperor
of Germany by the people of England.
From the time Of his landing until the
hour of his departure he was the object of
social attentions and popular applause. The
fear entertained previous to his visit that
the anarchists would make disagreeable
demonstration proved unfounded. Indeed
the only unpleasant episode that arose was
one for which a body Of his former subjects
was responsible.
A number of Germans resident in Eng
land presented the emperor with an address
of welcome, in which, by some remarkable
blunder, the name of the empress did not
appear. Naturally, William resented this
slight TO his well beloved consort by refus-
ing to make any reply. He figured ut gar
