Mrs. Kings Big Cattle Ranch
in Texas.

The largest ranch in the United States,
and probably in the world, owned by one
person is in Texas and belongs 10 Mrs
Richard King. 1t lies lorty-fiye miles
south Of Corpus Christi.
The ladies who come TO call on Mrs.
King drove from the front gate, over as
good road as any in Central Park, for
ten miles before they arrive at her front
door, and the butcher and baker and
iceman, if such existed, would have TO
drive thirty miles from the back gate be-
fore they reached her kitchen. This
ranch is bounded by the Corpus Christi
Bay for forty miles, and by barb wire for
800 miles more. II covers 100000 acres
in extent, and 10000 head Of cattle and
5000 brood mares wander over its
different pastures. This property is un-
der the ruling of Robert ]. kleberg, Mrs,
Kings son-in-law, ami he has under him
a superintendent, or as the Mexicans call
one who holds that Office, major demo,
which is an unusual position for major
domo, as this major domo has the charge
of 800 cowboys and l 200 ponies reserved
for their exclusive use.
The thing that the wise man from the
East cannot at lrst understand is how
the 100000 head of cattle wandering at
large over the range are ever collected
together. He sees dozen or more steers
here, 8 bunch of horses there, and single
steer mile or two of, and even as he
looks at them they disappear in the bush
and as far as his chance Of finding them
sgain would be, they might as well stand
forty miles away at the other end of the
ranch. But this is a very simple problem
to the ranchman.
Mr.. Kleberg, for instance, receives an
order from a firm in Chicago calling for
600 head Of cattle. The breed Of cattle
the firm wants is grazing in a corner of
the range fenced in by barb wire and
marked pale blue for convenience on
beautiful map blocked out in eolors like
patch work quilt which hangs IN Mr.
Klsberg's Office. When the order is
received he sends Mexican on 4 pony
to tell the men near that particular pale
blue pasture 70 round up 1000 head Of
cattle, and at the same time directs his
superintendent to send in few days as
many cowboys 20 that pasture as are
needed to hold 900 head Of cattle On
the way TO the railroad station. The
boys on the pasture, which We will
suppose is ten miles square, viii take ten
oftheir number and FIVE extra ponies
apiece, which one man leads, and from
one to another Of which the shift their
saddles as men do in polo, and go directly
to the water tanks in the ten square
miles Of land. A COW will not often
wander more than two and half miles
from water, and so, with the water tank
which on the King ranch may be either q
well with wind mill OF damned canon
full of rain water, as rendezvous, the
finding of the cattle is comparatively
easy, and ten men can round up 1000
head in a day or two. When they have
them all together the cowboys who are
TO dryie them to the station have arrived
and taken them of.

He Was WIsE.-There's at least one
lawyer who has his doubts about the
Immortality of human affairs, and he is
a serious man with a wife. 1t is his
custom to put on his Office door, when he
is going out temporarily, notices some
what of this character:
Gone to lunch back in halfan hour
"Gone to court back in three hours
"Gone out to see man; back in ten
minutes"
And so on, as the circumstances may
require, and as he is a prompt man
callers are generally successful in wait
Ing for him.
One day last week caller found this
on his door;
"Gone shopping with my wife; back
the Lord only knows when"
The caller. being a married man him
self didn't wait; neither did four ladies
who called in body, for they were go
ing shopping themselves.

A SUICIDE CLUE.
y. BARLOW Moorhead Kept his strange
Obligation.

NEW York, Oct. 81 Barlow
Moorhead q Young man reputed to be
worth half million dollars. and re-
Gently Kelley cure patient, commit
ed suicide Monday by shooting him
self through the heart at the board
inghouse, No. So West Thirty-fifth St.
In 4 letter to the coroner, Moor
head declared that he had committed
suicide, according to the club, and re-
quested the official to see that jury
find q verdict in accordance with
the fact expressed.
The coroner began probing into the
matter and learned that Weston Lem
non, an actor, could probably ex-
plain the curious epistls he had re-
ceived. Lennon was summoned, and
told the coroner that there was sui
eide club in this city.
Moorhead, he said, was member,
and he also belonged to it. He said
that was the reason Moorhead shot
himself, and added that the dead man
was compelled to do it.
In speaking Of the workings Of the
club, Lennon said. Each member
on joining is compelled to Ak the date
at which they are to take their own
life. Moorhead's hours had arrived.
By special rule Of the club he was
offered a ten-year parole but he
refused to accept it, being deter
mined to keep his agreement.
Mr.. Lennon refused to tell more Of
the suicide Club, or the circumstances
under which Mr.. Moorhead had joined.
The coroner viii thoroughly investi-
gate the case.

JUDGE GRESHAM.


WASHINGTON, D. c., October 5.
Nothing in the campaign so far has
Made Republicans here feel 50 sick IS
the declaration Of Judge Gresham that

It is stunning blow to the disci-
pies Of McKinleyism and monopolists
who are aware or Judge Gresham's in
fnence among the workingmen Of
Indiana and Illinois. They feel that
its'effects must be to make those two
States almost certain to cast their
electoral vote for Cleveland and they
practically say 50. That the Presi-
dent fully appreciates the danger Of
the situation is shown by the action
which he took. He sent for Commits
sioner Of immigration Owen, who is
an Indiana man and q close adherent
of Harrison, and informed him that he
must drop his work here at one and
hasten to Indiana to do all in his pow
or to neutralize the effect Of Gresham's
bolt. Owen has some regulations as i
political manipulation and II is UNDER
stood he will remain in Indiana until
the close Of the campaign devoting
himself especially to the work Of keep
ing il line the Republicans who arc
likely to follow Gresham.

SOCIALIST ADVOCATES
BROOKLYN METHODIST CLERGYMEN
ENDORSE IT.


THAT is NOBLE IN MAN.
NEW York, Sept. 5.-Methodist
preachers discussed Socialism In its
various phases yesterday at theirmeet-
ing in the lecture room Of Y. NJ. G. A.
Hall ia Brooklyn. The chairman was
Rev. James s. Chadwick, D, D., and
Rev. A. S. Kavanaugh acted as sec
rotary. Discussion was opened by
Rev. S. L. Beiler, Of the Sands street
Memorial Church. He said in sub
stance;
SOCIALISM is live question. It is
in our cities, our manufactures, and
is spreading over the country. News
papers print about it and pulpits are
beginning to speak Of it. It has rep
resentatives in European legislatures,
and in securing foothold in our own.
No great movement of this kind has
taken place without danger or blood
shed. We know that the era Of civil
liberty, which occurred in our coun-
try, was not without its danger"
Socialism appeals to all that IS
noble in man. It also appeals to all
that is ignoble. Men with untutored
minds give vent to their feelings in
deeds Of violence. They are Anarch-
lists. Anarchy is different from So
cialism. Christianity is responsible
for the Socialism Of this world.
Christianity takes part in politics.
| A desire for political equality brings
one for financial and social equality.
people cry, Put it down, crush out
Socialism You can't suppress Social
ism. You may as well try TO stop the
rush at Niagara. Men cry enforce the
law. They want 70 adopt the policy
| of the Russian Government and send
| linen to solitary eonfnament. Russia
to-day Has Nihilism beneath one corner
| Of its throne. This is thousand times
worse than Socialism, Mr.. Beller was
then called 10 order because his time
had expired.
Rev. G. s.. Williams Endorsed Mr..
Beller's views and contended that
God did not give man brains to, OPP
press his fellows and7gain money. At
one point in his remarks he created ex-
element by exclaiming
IF minister has a faculty for
saying souls and sells it to the highest
bidder he surely win go to hell, and
there ought to be one for him. / de-
clare to you before God that Andrew
Carnegie's company was responsible
for the outbreak at Homestead and
they ought to be punished. They pro-
yoked their worxmen by reducing
wages which were fair. Shall not

minister who wears broadcloth 7"
Mr.. Williams was followed by Rev.
George P. Mains, Rev. Mr.. Lightborn
and Presiding Elder Adams, of the
East Brooklyn District. The associa-
ton invited Mr.. Beller to continue his
talk at the next meeting.
