TILE ALLEE CiSE.

A. Y. Alice has been declared not
guilty of the murder of w. G. Bowen
on June A, 1901. This verdict has been
rendered by twelve men who listened
to all the evidence in the case, the
arguments of counsel thereon and the
charge of the Judge upon the law as
affected and given tone by the evil
dence. These twelve men were the sole
arbiters of the case, and it has
been settled-"not guilty"-for the
defendant. If the jury believed all
the evidence in the case on both sides,
it must have been convinced that mu
tual threats had been made; and this
being so the whole case hung upon
the actions of the parties Immediately
at the time of the killing. 1t was the
object of the prosecution to show
that at the time Alice made
the first menacing action; of
the defense that Bowen or
his brother by some action put Alice
on his guard and warranted him in
defending himself. The evidence
upon this point was conflicting, and
evidently to the jury's mind unsatis-
factory. The defendant in the eyes of
the law was entitled to the benefit of
the doubt, if any there was in the
jury's mind. 1t seems from the YER
dict such:.doubt existed, and it was re-
solved in the acquittal of the defend
ant.
This whole affair has been most I'M
fortunate and disreputable to the
state. That such thing as killing
on public highway, railroad train,
should occur is infinitely to the dis
credit of any state. That it occur
red in a sparsely settled section of
Texas is the only redeeming feature of
the case. A bloody, CHASTITY lesson
has been taught that section of the
state and all Texas. May it redown
to good in all time to come

mingling with the darker shades of
her ragged hair, and still the pathetic
voice rang out; telling how the love
divine should follow all Gods people,
even down to old age, when hoary
hairs should adorn their temples, and
they should be borne in His bosoN1 be-
cause they are the sheep of II pas
ture.
Was it faith that looked out U. the
sightless eyes? Was it inefable love
and trust that thrilled through the
pathetic voice? Whatever it
might be, something touched
every heart, some sudden
moisture shone in every eye. Men
took off their hats as in some sacred
place and went by with softened step.
Coins ratified in the little cup. Craft
and greed and open vice were silenced
and whatever was best in any mans
heart made it's voice heard for little
space. But the blind women sung
her old time song, not knowing what
were the memories it called up In any
other life, only knowing that the
promise was going down with her
through the deep waters and the fiery
trials. JULIA TRUITT BISHOP,

not be withdrawn, because all deeds
are then surrendered and the register
of the deeds must be closed. There.
fore transfer by registered title takes
the place of the execution of deeds.
Would not the adoption Of this sys-
tenn in Texas be of incalculable value
to its people? Certainty as to titles
would take the place of existing un-
certainty, and the saving to the peo-
pie in fees and litigation would be
something enormous.
We suggest to the members of the
Grange and Farmers Alliance that
this is a subject worthy of their
serious and careful consideration.
The adoption of this system in Texas
would place our state in the forefront
of the states of the union in this re-
pect and would be a powerful attrac-
ton to the best class of immigrants.
The members of the legislature who
will enact such a law for Texas will
be entitled to the gratitude of its PEG
pie for all time to come.

The Wonderful Paradise Fish.

The oldest of all piscatorial rarities ia
the paradise fish of China. Like the Ger
man canary and one or two other species
of bird and fish, this little finny beauty is
the product of cultivation only, there be-
ing no place in the world where it is found
in wild state. In the land of the dragon
they are kept and cultivated in ornamental
aquariums, each succeeding generation of
the little oddities exhibiting more diversi-
fled colors. The male is the larger of the
two sexes, measuring, when full grown,
81 inches. The body is shaped very much
like that of common pumpkin seed sun
fish, its color surprising in brilliancy any
fish heretofore cultivated for the aqua
rum. The head of macropodus CHATS
his generic nance is ashy gray notified
with irregular dark spots The gills are
azurine blue bordered with brilliant Grim
son.
The eyes are yellow and red, with a
black pupil, The sides of the BODY and the
crescent shaped caudal fin are deep Grim
son, the former having from ten to twelve
vertical blue stripes, while the latter is
bordered with blue. The upper surface of
the body is continually changing color
sometimes it is white, at others gray, black
or blue. The dorsal and anal fins are re-
large, hence it's generic name
macro, large; podus, fin or foot. Both fins
are shaped alike, and arc striped with
brown and bordered with a bright blue.
The dull colored ventral fins are protected
by brilliant scarlet colored spine, ex.
tending three-fourths of an inch behind
the body of the fin. The pectoral fins are
well shaped, but transparent and colorless.

Royal Presents of Tea.

Tea was highly esteemed in nearly every
ancient Asiatic city near the sea and was
used as a royal gift from the Chinese mon
archs and great merchants to the poten-
tates of the east. To the rajahs Of Handy,
the sultans of Ceylon, the shoguns and dali
MICS of Japan carefully selected samples
of the leaves, packed in precious boxes,
were sent with great regularity. Some
must have been presents worthy of a
crown. One of them was thus recorded:
1T weighed forty catties-about fifty
pounds-and each leaf was perfect in color,
size and age. The leaves were divided into
parcels of five maces each "a little over half
an ounce and each parcel was wrapped in
pure silver foil. This was wrapped in turn
In thin white paper and put into little
bag of bright colored silk A hundred
bags were placed into porcelain jar whose
lid was securely fastened and sealed, and
each jar was protected by box of camphor
wood trimmed with silver hinges and or
naments. In the list of princes to whom
these presents were made are many whose
identity would be otherwise lost to histo-

THE EXTRA SESSION CALLED.

! THE EXTRA SESSION CALLED.
Governor Hogg has called an extra
session of the Legislature 10 convene
on March 14th next. In this ca.!i nj
teen subjects are specially mentioned
as matters of grave Importance at
once to be acted upon, and then is
added "such other subjects of
public Importance as the Ex-
ecutive may from time to
time during the session, submit by
message or otherwise" The length of
an extra session is limited to thirty
days, but there is nothing to prevent
the governor at the end Of thirty days
Immediately calling another extra
session. Now, THE STATESMAN may
be wrong about it, but it seems to it
enough work has in this call
been cut out to last two or
three extra sessions. Upon three
of the subjects at least The STATES
MAN anticipates the session will hang
fire to a very considerable extent.
The judiciary amendment is to be put
into effect; and this involves the To-
eating of three appellate courts. A
very excellent opportunity for log
rolling and fillibustering. A reappor-
tionment of the state is to be NADIA
still more laborious and intricate job,
with greater room for log roll
ing and tillibus tering. A United
States senator is to be elected-a
very delicate question. In addition
to the judiciary amendment four 9TH
ers are to be put into effect, involving
the enactment of most carefully to be
prepared laws. 1t strikes The
STATESMAN that all this will very
nearly fill out the limit of thirty days.
But if another thirty days are to be
added thereto, so be it. Not that The
STATESMAN, as it is loved to be
charged by the envious, wants Aus
tin to gobble up all the
good things of the state,
wants the Legislature always to be
with us, but in the interest of the best
welfare of the good laws of the state,
and in the interest of the legislators
who love Austin, and with their well
known admiration Of the true and the
beautiful, long always to be with us.
There is one subject, however, The
STATESMAN regrets to see mentioned
in the call; that is the alien land law.
We had hoped that law, or rather the
law as last enacted, had gone to its
long and final sleep. If it is now
again to be brought up, may the leg
islature speak only words of soundest
wisdom, and to the end that great
Texas may plant herself squarly on the
side of justice and of progress.

KING DAVID.

Thou shepherd king, not of the lotus land,
But, as flame the sacrifice along,

From Judah's woe. Thou mighty of soul and

Leaving the sheepfold's vigil to command
Thy flocks Of men and, in Jehovah strong.
To temples Of the ages by thy song
Marshaling singers from his heavenly band
We hail thee glorious, but we behold
With vassal joy n strife amid thy breast
Beyond the wars of kings, the manifold

Seeking the lovely with desire untold

A perfect animal.
A trained, clear. seeing, unbiased intel

A taste that sees and appreciates all
beauty.
A heart that loves all lovely things.
A sympathetic benefcence that would
have all men lifted to the highest,
A soul or spirit that recognizes kinship
with the Eternal Spirit and ever aspires to
ward fuller spiritual life.

A ssYrian Seals.

The ancient Assyrians nearly G,0O0 years
ago put in moist clay their seals, engraved
in intaglio upon precious stones, on chests
and doors, in order to prevent their being
opened. There were no locks or keys in
those days. If they wished to send a pri,
vate letter they would often seal it with a
hippogriff, which fabulous winged horse
was regarded as the emblem of secrecy.
Centuries later the Greeks and Romans
adopted similar devices for the same pur
pose.-Jeweler's Weekly
