While the battle of Long Island did
not result in victory for the Anne

HUNTINGTON IN TEXAS.

HUNTINGTON IN IEAAS-
The Manufacturers Record is
slightly mixed up in its geogra-
ply, but its intentions are all right.
1t says:
In connection with these projects
it is reported that he has been desir-
Gus of obtaining a suitable harbor
for seaboard terminus for this South
western system where large vessels
could be loaded without the use of
lighters. As Arkansas Pass when the
present Improvements are completed
is expected to become such g hsf6or.
not surprising that dispatch
announces that the representatives
of the railroad president are nego-
tiasing to secure several thousand
acres on Padre Island, which forms
one side of the channel leading to
Arkansas Pass. Geographically speak
ing it is an excellent location, as
Arkansas Pass is the terminus of the
San Antonio s. Pass Road, virtually
one of the Huntington lines, as its
bond interest is guaranteed by the
Southern Pacific Company. 1t is
comparatively near to the Hunting
ton railways in Mexico, and is one
of the largest natural harbors in the
world, having every advantage for
becoming a great seaport.
Padre Island has no connection
with Arkansas Pass and Is far to the
south of the proposed harbor, Must
ang Island intervening. The Record
has evidently caught the flying
rumor, originating, no one knows
where, that the Southern Pacific is
negotiating for the building of a
harbor on Padre Island. to be all its
own. AS Mr.. Huntington says that
he knows little of the proposed har-
bors west of Galveston as yet, it is
more than probable there is no
foundation for the yarn.
The Manufacturers Record is do
ing good work for the South and an
occasional geographical slipsis ex-
cusable on these grounds. A glance
at a map of the Texas coast would
have saved them this obvious mis-
take. Mr. Huntington's fears about
Texas vessels not being able to Sc
cure sufficient return tonnage are

fingers into the crack, he pulls it

Setting it down upon the ground,
with its great crimson heart bulging
upward, he plunges one hand down
inside the rind on either side and
lifts the entire heart out in one solid
lump as big as his head. Leaving
what remains in the rind for the
pigs or the piekauinnies, he seats
himself in the shade and bites from
the cool, crimson heart as a boy

INFIDEL TO THE END.
Under His awful Epitaphs Sleeps
jeremiah Hacker, Poet and Ag-
nostic Writer

vineland, n. j. Sept. 2.-The fun
eral of jeremiah Hacker, poet and
author, who died on Thursday, at
the age of ninety-four YVES held today
without rites of ceremonies of any
kind, and the body was conveyed to
the graveyard in an ordinary wagon.
He was born at Brunswick, Me-,
in 1902, and received only ca,..,s,757,s,
school education: w.. 80 worry
q he began teaching school
living. His attacks upon the
bible, however, soon gained him
wide notoriety, and he became edi-
tor of the Pleasure Boat, published
at Portland, Me. The paper had an
extensive circulation, but when on
the eve of the rebellion he advocat-
ed peace the circulation of the paper
quickly melted away.
He then came to Vineland, where
his attacks upon the church again
put him before the public. He COM
posed poems ridiculing the bible,
and followed by men and boys, walk
ed through the principal streets of
the town singing his poems and
preaching to the crowds. An an
nouncernent in the daily papers that
BE would appear in the public
square always attracted crowd. Mr.,
Hacker was firm in his belief that he
was doing good, and his large for
tune was spent in inculating hi;
ideas. He was liberal to the poor.
When his wife died, six years ago
Mr.. Hacker erected two tombstone:
on his lot at Sloan Cemetery. On
his wife's was inscribed underneath
the usual legend, the question
"Where Is God?" On his own tomb
stone was carved the following =
THE Angry, Wrathful Bible; God ii
aMyth.1
The tombstones, so close TO mon
uments piously inscribed, caused
much comment, and many person
visited the graveyard to see "thost
awful tombstones" Lot owners ap
pealed to the trustees to have til,
offensive slabs removed; but tn,
trustees became divided over tht
question; and the tombstones ar,
still standing.
Mr. Hacker was member of tn,

place, the rules OF which viii not al
