But, goodness, gracious! What's the use

If you haven't got throne to put

She might have painted purple COWS upon

BIG FIELDS IN TEXAS.
One of $4,000 Acres and Fences Over
Eighty Miles Long.
TChica 1o Times I

Very few people at a distance, in
thinking of Western Texas, understand
that nearly the whole of it is at pres
ent fenced up in mammoth pastures,
yet such is the case. Many of them are
larger than ordinary counties, and
some of them embrace large parts Of
three or four counties.
Just west of Belcherville, Texas,
come the Silverstein, the Heard and
the Worsham pastures. This latter
contains $4,000 acres, and has one line
of fence twenty-three miles long. Pas
lures of about this size continue in al
most unbroken succession until we
reach Armstrong county. There we
find what is known as the Goodnight
ranch, the southern boundary of which
is a little string of fence eighty-three
miles long. Charley Goodnight, as the
owner is familiarly known, is consider
ed one of the richest men in the Pan
Handle, but L really feel sorry for his
boys if he ever sends them out on a
hot afternoon to stop hog holes In that
line of fence. 1t is hardly likely that
this is the case, however, as all fences
in that country are built to turn cat
! tie, and without reference to hogs
| There is a little railway station called
Goodnight, which consists of the Good
night residence and the depot. Mr..
Goodnight lives in almost baronicaI
| style. His park contains deer, a drove
! of elk, and one Of the few herds of
| buffalo in the United States.
! Another fair-sized holding of land is
| that of the Espinella Cattle company.
This contains over 100000 acres, and
takes in parts Of Dickens, Crosby and
| Emma counties. If the land Were in
the form of a square it would be about
| fifty miles each way. The Matterdere
is smaller, but still includes rather
more than 100000 acres. These are
both owned by syndicates, with head
| quarters in London, and they are only
| two selected at random out of large
number. They have had their bearing
| on state politics. If it were not for
| the railroad commissioners, the uni
form text book bill and the alien land
holder question. Texas politics would
not be worth shucks.
The largest of these alien land-hold-
| ings belongs to what is called the
Capitol syndicate. A few years ago
| the old capitol at Austin burned down
and it was decided to build another on
a magnificent scale. An English syndi-
cate agreed to put it up and in pay
ment phere1Or pney received 5000, 000
acres of public lands. Does the reader
realize how big 100000 acres of land
is? Imagine a slice of land tWenty-fouT
miles wide and extending across the
state Of Missouri at its northern Dor
der. Such a strip would include the
whole northern tier of counties and
would be larger than several states OF
the Union.
This would be about the extent OF
the Capitol syndicate's pasture. Few
people have any idea that there is such
a thing as single pasture, in one body
and within one fence, larger than some
Estates of the Union, yet such is the
lfact. More than that, it is owned by

Several in st. Louis cutie Import
ant.
st. Louis, Jan 29.-In the United States
circuit court of appeals yesterday, sew
eral decisions were handed down.
John Burke sued the Little Rock juno
ton railway to establish his title to prop
erty in Little Rock, Ark, which he said
was his by inheritance. The railway COM
pany claimed this property by title from
S. H. Wells who bought it at tax sale
decreed by the Pulaski county court, and
1T defended on the ground that the notice
citing delinquents to appear was irregular
and consequently the chancery court had
no jurisdiction to order the sale. The
trial court sustained the bill and gave
judgment for the complainant .whereupon
the. railway company appealed. In the
decision yesterday by Juuge .Thayer,. the
court holds that the bills should have been
dismissed and it so orders ON the ground
that it is not the province of a federal
court to review the judgment of a state
court which is, as, was in the, present
case, obviously void when tested by the
records.

Chicago. Jan. 29.-The defense in the
Debs conspiracy trial received a heavy
blow today on the adverse ruling of
Judge Grosscup on an objection raised to
the admission of evidence as to overt
acts. unless it could be shown that they
were done by the knowledge and under
direction of the officers and directors of
the A. r. U. to obstruct the mails. Judge
Grosscup held that evidence could be in
troduced tending to show that a conspir-
acy existed to stop all trains, and this
would include, necessarily, conspiracy
to stop the United States mails. In
would include in it's natural, responsible
and inevitable result, the less.

Students Patriotic.

Guadalajara, State of Jalisco, Jan. 20.
To-day a large students demonstra-
ton was held, in which hundreds of
young men from the school of medicine,
law and other colleges of this city took
part, showing the patriotism of the
youth Of Jalisco on the GuatemaIan
matter. Today's demonstration was the
outgrowth of a smaller one held on
Saturday but which for lack of organ
ization did not reach to what was
deemed fit proportions. The company
marched to the governors palace, and
in the presence Of thousands of specta-
tors, addresses full of fire and we'll
applauded, were delivered by leading
students and in which the secretary
gave the word to the young men Of the
state to be on hand in case of an emer-
gency in which the general government
might need their services.

Gresham Gives Advice.

Washington. Jan. 29.-Late this after
noon Senior Romero, the Mexican min
lister, and Senior Arraigo, the Guate-
malan minister, called at the state de-
partment. They were admitted at once
to the diplomatic room and entered
upon a discussion of the troubles be-
tween their respective countries, with
Secretary Gresham. In such cases min
listers are generally charged with power
by their governments to offer and re-
ceive suggestions looking to a settle
ment of the dispute in question, sub
ject, Of course, to the approval Of the
home governments. But IN this case
both officials have denied that the mat
ter is in their hands, so the inference is
that Secretary Gresham is simply urg-
ing them to advise their governments
to show a spirit of mutual concession.

MANITOBA SCHOOL CASE.
a Long Contested Case Is Now at al
End,

End.
Winnipeg, Man, Jan. 29.-What is
known as the Manitoba school case,
recently settled, has been a long, te-
dious and expensive litigation. 1t has
been kept alive by much radical and
religious animosity. Its settlement was
much to be desired. The essential facts
Of the controversy are these:
In 1870, Manitoba was admitted to the
Canadian confederation. Its first Iegis-
lature passed a school law providing
for Protestant and Catholic schools, to
be supported by these respective relig-
ionists. But, in 1890, the Greenway
government passed an act appropriate
ing all school taxes to the support of
q, common school system. When under
this law. the city of Winnipeg sought
TO collect school taxes from Roman
Catholics, they resisted payment and
began action to contest the constitu-
tionahty of the act, contending that
under the Manitoba act comforting pro-
Vincial jurisdiction, the legislature had
no right to take away the rights of
separate denominatiozaaI schools held
by the Catholics prior to the fedora
ton.
