PIONEER DAYS III TEXAS.


some Elsnr Laws tho
Braz"s Twenty Years Ago.
Alexander ". Terrell. (who WAS re-
Gently appointed United states minis
ter To Turkey in an address at Hous-
ton few days ago pad the following
tribute To the men who achieved Texas
independence: II speak not the lam
guaEc 81 undcservcd praise, but the
simple truth. when say that the pio-
neer immigrants of Texas from ls2l to
1910 were a. noble L race of men as
ever established empire" To those
who have always regarded the Texas
OF that time as nothing more than an
ASYLUM for outlaws these words Will
have the ring of cXtravagant eulogy,
hut according to the New York Even
ing Post. Mr.. Terrell spoke advisedly.
More than forty years ago he settled
among the survivors of the colony OF
Stephen +. Austin. who is known az
1.-THE Father of Texas" and for six
years Mr.. Terrell presided As a judge
in the courts set up by these men.
Au>tin'> advance guard reached the
Erazos river in 1s2l. and soon after
ward his colony was augmented by
two hundred and eighty-ive recruits,
oil of whom We're native Americans,
and chiefly from the southern states
They finally settled in the region
where are now the counties of
Travis, Ba>trop, Caldwell, Guada-
lupe and Hays, and drew up q
code of criminal laws which. it is
the testimony of survivors and their
children, We're rigidly enforced. In
cases or theft, murder or robbery any
person was authorized to use arms in
experimenting the guilty party and take
him or her before the alcalde. If the
guilty party tried to escape, anyone
could shoot him. When stolen proper
~ was recovered, it was returned to
the owner. Gambling was an indicta-
Die offense, and the fine for gambling
or keeping gambling house was not
less than twenty dollars or more than
two hundred dollars. All men and
women who attempted to live together
without being married were fined not
less than one hundred dollars or more
than five hundred dollars and con-
demned to hard labor on the public road
Any person buying stolen property was
condemned to pay three times its value
70 the owner and labor on the public
works. Any person guilty of assault,
of abusing. manning, or ill-treating
another willfully and maliciously, was
fined not exceeding one hundred dol
lars and imprisoned not exceeding
three months. Any person passing
counterfeit money knowing it to be
such was condemned to hard labor on
She public works. 1t was made the
duty of the justice of the peace, or the
'alcalde," to arrest all Migrants or
fugitives from justice and take them
before the superior court for final judg-
ment.

ExTORTION IN RUSSIA.
Taking Advantage of the Ignorant y
UncOmDlainfn1 Peasanta

Taking Advantage of the Ignorant and
l. Uncomplaining Peasants. -.
The innocence of Russian peasants;
their ignorance of law, their humble
submission to anybody claiming au-
thority with an official appearance Of
possessing it,are remarkably illustrated
by Mr.. Poultney Bigelow in a recent
account of some of his experiences in
Russia. 1t appears chat the peasants
readily imagine that anybody in the
uniform of an officer of police must
have SO much authority from the car
that they dare not complain of him. A
Russian gentleman, for whose honor
Mr.. Bigelow vouches, told him this
story:
One morning sleigh bells jingled in
our village. A police captain and lieu
tenant drove in with dead body COW
cred up on sleigh. They called for
the village elder.
Ivan IvanOvitch," said the captain,
eying the crowd of trembling peas
ants, "a terrible crime has been COM
mitted close to the land of your vii
lage."~~ ~.

'See for yourself" The captain
drew off the cover and exposed the
mutilated body. Your village is re-
sponsible for this murder. There must
be commission sent here to investi.
gate the matter"
"Anything but that" begged the
elder, stroking and kissing the cap
tain's coat. He knew that such q COM
mission meant ruinous fines, to say
nothing of 1oggings for every wit
ness.
The peasants with one voice Joined

dicial inquiry"
well, but the matter is serious. II
will cost me lot Of money to prevent
. commission coming" said the cap
tain.
After some haggling, the wretched
peasants, suffering for want of sufa-
cient food or good shelter, dubbed to.
gether and paid seventy-five roubles.
The captain and lieutenant climbed
into the sleigh once more, and drove
away with the corpse to the next vii
lage. Here they repeated the same
performance, and as long as the cold
weather lasted that corpse represented
At least fifty roubles extorted from
every village it visited.

An interesting announcement is
made in the French papers Of the dis
covery Of q process for metallizing tex.
tile fabrics, by which, it is claimed,
the latter are rendered proof against
the attacks of insects. The materials,
such as wool, flannel, calico, etc, are
for this purpose immersed in boiling
bath composed of two and one.half
pounds of sulphate of copper, one
pound Of sulphuric acid and sixty-two
gallons of water, the fabric being cal
endered and dried after its removal
from the fluid. The finish obtained by
this process will, it is said, bear two or
three washings before it is again nee.
sssary to subject the cloth to q repcti.
