ONLY ONE LITTLE CHANCE.
Texas May Appeal to Congress HsT
 dreer County Case.

Texas May Appeal to Congress HsT
 areer County Case.
 WASHINGTON. March 18.-The main points in the Greer county onse, which was decided in favor of the United States by the supreme court and against Texas, depended upon the eonstrue- tion of the treaty between this country and Spain made in 1919, which defined the northern and eastern lines of the Spanish possessions which afterwards passed to Mexico and still later to the republic and then to the state of Texas. In this treaty map known as Melish's map, which had been made the year be. fore, was referred to and the lines fixed in accordance with the map. It was provided at the same time that commis. sioners and surveyors should be appoint ed to define the lines better. The Mel ish map did not correspond with the real facts as determined by astronomic- al observations in fixing the boundary lines and 1t was soon ascertained that while all the territory known as Greer county was placed west of the one hun dredth meridian. the map showed it was east of it.
 The court held that the fact that com missioners and surveyors were provided for in the treaty was evidence that 1t was not intended that the lines as laid down in the map should be considered binding, and, therefore, accepted the fact as determined by the surveyors in preference to the showing of the map.
 It was stated that Texas had in tho settlement of 1850 relinquished all claims to the lands outside of her boundary to the United States and TO. ceived $10, 0o0,0 900 on this settlement. The contentious of the state, that Greer county had been organized since 1860; that Its existence as q part of the state had been recognized by including it in the Northern district of the state for judicial purposes and by the establish ment of postoffioes as we'll as others, were brushed aside by Justice Harlan in his opinion and decree ordered en- tered declaring the county to be outside the boundaries of Texas and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States
 Justice Harlan intimated that Texas could appeal to congress for relief if not satisfied with the decision, but said the court must be controlled by the law and not by sentiment.

What Caused the Earthquakes.

VALPARAISO, March Professor Obsecht, director of the astronomical observatory at Santiago, states that the late seismic eommotion here was due to the conjunction of the sun and the moon, the latter having reached the same circle of longitude in verticle as- tension and being between the sun and the earth and the attraction of the lat ber on the moon caused strong vibra. tions in the atmosphere. The panic here IS subsiding slightly. Many fami- lies have gone to the country not to re- turn until after March go. Others still sleep in the squares and parks.

WELCOMED THEIR LEADER.
Socialists Give n Rousing Reception |

Sociatlsts GiWe Housing Reception e1
 De Felice at Rome.
 ROME, March 18.-The socialists of this city turned out in force yesterday to welcome back to Rome and liberty tho leader of their party, Giuseppe do Fe- lice. De Felioe was formally member of the chamber of deputies. Early in 1894 he was arrested on the charge of plotting with the exiled anarchist Cyp. riote and Signor Gasilli, another deputy, and planning revolution for the over throw of the monarchy. They succeeded in causing serious uprising in which considerable blood V he'd and much property destroyed. De relioe and 40 of his companions N fried and sent. enced to the penitentiary.
 When the socialist leaders reached the railroad after their release from prison, under She recent amnesty de- cree, they were met by about 5000 of their followers and admirers with flags and music, half wild with enthusiasm, and when the leaders left the depot and entered carriage the half frantic crowd unhitohed the horses and pulled the vehicle in triumph through the principal streets, with waving flags on both sides and one band behind and another in front of the procession.

During that time they slept in the din
ing room, and the magnificent silver
ware was exhibited in an apartment
obviously connected with daylight by
means of an air shaft.
The next fiat cost Jack SIS, and the
pieces of the bedstead lay in the hall
two weeks before an engineer could be
found to put them together. During
that time Jack tells me that he had
one ray of hope 1t shone upon him
whom he met in the hall when he
came home one night. He fell upon
his knees, so he says, and begged the
burglar to come up and steal that bed.
The burglar came up and looked at it:
and then lie shook his head and
walked slowly away, deaf to Jacks
representations that the thing was
worth more than $1,000.
BY slow degrees that bed. which the
young couple had received with such
gratitude. forced their rent up to 500
per month, and brought Jack to n
point where he was frequently obliged
to borrow car fare from his wife. For
myself, have always regarded that
as the deepest sub-cellar of humilia-
tion. Fate rescued him just in the
nick of time. He found landlord
who was willing to knock down parti-
tions. They are now living In $50
fat, which ls nearly all bed room, and
though the parlor is so small that Mrs
Barnes pug dog cannot turn around in
1t without putting his tail against the

Disease Germ. in Telephones.


In spite OF what alarmists say about
the danger of infection by the germs
of disease in telephone transmitters,
the mischief caused by this possible
source of contagion is probably COM
paratively inappreciable. That the
rush of the breath i'll speaking will
carry all sorts Of microbes on the sur
face of the diaphragm is beyond doubt,
but the number OF cases i'll which i'll
fection has been traced to this cause Is
not SO large as might have been eX-
pected. Still, the danger does exist to
u certain extent, and it has been said
that tonsiltis has been spread through
the staff of 4 large office by the use of
the telephone. The Germans have
sought to lessen this risk by the enl-
ployment of disks of absorbent paper,
which each user OF the instrument
would place into the transmitter, and
remove after the conversation was
ended. This, of course, was purely
mechanical makcshift. A chemist now
proposes more radical remedy, the
/ killing of the microbes on first contact
with the diaphragm. His appliance,
which can he attached to any tele-
phone, consists Of diaphragm which
has been treated with an antiseDtic
fluid which brings quick death to the
tiny disease germs. This fabric is cut
into disks of suitable size to fit over
the mouthpiece of the telephone. Over
the disk fits a cap, or holder, consisting
of a rim and n tiange for holding the
disk in it's proper position. 1t is claimed
that the invention does Lot interfere in
any way with the transmission Of the
voice sound, and by its use all danger
of infection from the germs of throat
or lung troubles is obyiated, and con-
| tagion from sore mouth is made ;!aXt

THANK SEWING.

Down from the North. with tresses white.
Old Winter comes with icy breath;
At his approach our birds take flight,
Aud sweet flowers close their eyes II
death.
But not until the lavish earth
Redecms the promise Of the Spring,
And harvest songs ring out their mtrth-
For this we thank God, our King.
Then let the iusty North wind roar;
Heap up the beard with richest cheer,
While with loved ones we think o'er
The blessings Of another year.
We will forget our toll and cure;
Life must grow sweeter while we Sing,
Gods providence is everywhere
For this we thank thee, God, our King.
No pesti!cncc has swept our land.
No wild storms wrecked our ships at sea
We have not felt wars bloody hand,
Onr pride is still in liberty.
Our happy homes their shrines Of lov,.
On cnrth's dark bosom glittering,
Must shine like stars to eyes above
For this we thank thee, God, our King.
But not alone do nations know
Gods ruling hand is over all;
He secth that the lilies grow,
And carcth when his sparrows fall;
Each life Is precious In his sight;
We should rejoice, remembering
Our Father guards us lay and night
For this We thank thee, God, our King
Each soul has cause for special praise,
Though some have felt their deepest loss
Treading these lonely Chrlst-like ways,
Beneath the shadow of the cross.
But joy or pain. God knoweth best.
Though tears have fallen, still we sing,
A child Of his is always blest-
For this we thank thee. God, our King.

American Apples for the English
Market


Market.
British fruit experts are lamenting
that. although no foreign apples can
compare for delicacy of flavor with the
better class Of the English fruit, such
as the pippin and russet, it is impossi-
bic to get away from the fact that the
country will have, pending radical
changes in fruit culture methods, to
depend upon external resources for its
apple supply. The Canadian and
American apple growers are now pre-
pairing to put large consignments into
the English markets. Last gear the
English apple crop was extremely
good, while those of America and Can
ada were more or less failures. This
state Of things is now reversed. Amer
lean apples are now pouring into Lon
markets in great quantities, one firm
of brokers alone having recently sold
in a few hours $4,000 barrels. 1t is
found impossible for the English farm
er to compete on a large scale with
the growers on this side of the Allan
tic. The English railway rates are
high anL fruit farming is not we'll
enough understood. Last season when
the crop was plentiful large portion
was allowed to rot OIL the ground In
cases where the farms were long dis
tance from the market. The English
farmer pays little attention to his or.
chard, and apples and pears are pre-
carious crop much affected by the
ever-changing weather. The lowest es
Inmates Of the exports Of American
and Canadian apples this year is 50,
