THE MINISTERS OF AUSTIN PRO
TESTING ONCE MORE
ABOUT THE SUNDAY NIGHT CIR.
Gus AND SHOWS.
They Withdraw Their Call for Mass
Meeting, August Twelfth on the Dali
las Prize Fight-Veterans Reso-
lutte Thereon Also.

The Austin Ministerial association had
a regular monthly meeting yesterday
morning in the Y. NJ. G. "A. hall and
adopted resolutions condemnatory of an
evil they claim is now gaining ground in
Austin. This evil, as set forth by their
resolutions, is nothing more nor less than
the free theatrical performances which
are being given on Sunday nights in this
city at the present time The ministers
hold that these entertainments are calcu-
lated to corrupt the morals of the youth
of the capital city as well as desecrate the
Holy Sabbath, and for that reason they
want the officers to stop such entertain
ments.
The ministers also resolved that mas
much as Governor Culberson had procla-
mated the Dallas prize fight out of exist
ence there was no need for their public
mass meeting called for August IL, and
they therefore called said meeting off.
The two resolutions read as follows
The Ministers association of Austin
does hereby enter its intense protest
against the new method of Sabbath break
ing only recently inaugurated among us
in free theatrical and operate exhibits
and free concerts ON Sabbath night; and
we do hereby urge the officials of the
City Electric railway and the Dam rail
road to give up these entertainments,
that there Dlay be quiet Sabbath night
for the people to attend divine worship.
Whereas, Since the call for mass
meeting, Governor Culberson has issued
a clear, decisive proclamation announc-
ing the law against prize fighting, as set
forth by the attorney general; and
Whereas, The governor has so instruct
ed all officials concerning their duty to
prevent / prize fight as to- make it appa-
rently impracticable for any such viola
ton of a law; therefore the call for a mass
meeting is revoked, to be renewed should
future developments of threatened law
lessness make it desirable for such
meeting to be held.

Two Big Cattle Ranges.

A special from Santa Fe to the Denver Republican says: W. H. Denton of Mark ham, l. T., has leased tho Petnca grant for ten years and will immediately ship his 27, 1000 head of cattle to Las Vegas, and from there he will drive them to the grant. He will bring 20 families with him, aside from his cowboys. There are 1S0, 900 acres in the Petaca grant.
 The property is owned by cx-Congrcss- man Farwell of Iowa. The grazing priv ilcge alone is covered by tho lease. MT. Denton has spent the past two weeks ex- amining the property, and he pronounces the range first class.
 It is probable also that ho will take Q lease for ten years on tho Vallccito grant, near this property, which contains IA, 900 acres. He says the rapid settlement of the Indian Territory and the policy of the gov ernment in subdividing the great grazing area and allotting it in scveralty to the in sdians arc going to work q decided change in the range cattle industry of that section, and his idea is that many cattlemen now there will soon seek grazing lands in New Mexico and bring their stock there, there by adding largely to the taxable values of this territory.

Adrian Diaconu of Hungary claims to have made remarkable discovery. Ac- cording to telegram from Vienna, he has found in the remains of tho old Roman camp of Bcrsovia, ut Bogcsau near Tc1nes- var, what he and certain learned men of Bucharest regard us irrcfIta5lo evidence that tho Conturions of the Fourth legion,
 who were stationed there at somo time during tho second century, wore acquaint- ed with tho use of movable types.

FORTUNES IN BOYS.
Chicago Training Schools on tho Hunt For
 "Dependent" Children.

"Dependent' Children.
 Boy farming has suddenly become q great industry in Chicago. Tho last legis- lature made some amendments to tho act concerning dependent children. As tho law now stands, every training school for boys is to get $10 month from tho county for every boy committed to its charge, and this whether tho county board has agreed to it or not
 Tho training schools have agents out hunting for boys who can Do brought un- der the wide definition the statute gives of "dcpcndent" boy, or parents who are willing to get rid of their children.
 Tho result is tenfold increase in tho number of alleged dependent" boys. Tho county board today resolved to fight tho steal in the courts.
 There is a profit of $5 Q month to tho school on each boy. If school can hunt up 10, GOO boys, it can make s60, 900 a year profit out of tho county. And, as boys arc committed until they are 2l years old, each becomes very profitable investment. New York Recorder.
