Together with the rest Of our delegation"
said Representative Long Of Texas" I notice
with pleasure The concurrent resolution OF the
Texas legislature indorsing my good friend
Mr.. kilgore for the appointment o. United
States minister TO Mexico
1--WE believe. and our sentiments reflect those
OF the PEOPLE OF our state. that Mr.. Kigors
should be appointed. The grounds OF opposi-
ton in some quarters that a Texan should not
be appointed are not 20 our mind good ON
the contrary. We consider n excellent reason
Tor his selection. Mr. kilcore Is eminently
qualified for the position and as Texas L. one

We would like to her recognized by Mr..
hilgore's appointment
''The main qualifications for q bell bow, " said
the clerk TO The STAR representative, lies in
his legs. In modern hotels a separate elevator
is provided, but in the older hotels the bell bow
still tramps up to the top story When Q bell
boy mounts up TO the sixth story ffty times q

distance covered in the halls, he gets over .

THE measure known as the car coupling bfll
now before Congress, said Maj E. b. stahI-
man, chairman of the executive board OF the
Southern Railroad and Steamboat Association.
Twill not. in my opinion. accomplish the object
intended. IL will, II passed, entail Q cost OF
$50 900 upon the railroads Of the south and
double this sum upon the railroads Of the
country.
The car coupler has not vet reached perfec-
ton. For this reason alone railroads should
not by legislative action be compelled TO adopt
il. 1t is designed. Of course, to prevent loss
of life. but the difference between freight cars
and passenger coaches is great that do NOT
believe that this end will be gained"

the position Of United States marshal Of Okla

sessing great deal OF power and patronage, and
. is worth from sIO,0 to els. 200 a year.
