Degrees for Women.

From the Lady's Pictorial
There seems to be some probability that
the admission of women to degrees at Ok
ford and Cambridge is within measurable
distance. At least, movement in this direc-
ton has been made of late and is still being
made at Oxford, and if one university is
sensible enough to make this educational
advance, the other can scarcely fail to fol-
low suit. There is nothing, one would i'm
agine, to be said against such a step, for 1t
is manifestly absurd to permit women to
compete with men for prize, so to saw.
and then, when they win, deny it to them
because Of their sex.

TO WORK ON THE PASS.

Corpus Christi Caller.
The steam tug Seminole, Johnson,
master, came up from the pass last
evening with the big barge Velasco
after load of rock. Messrs. Crowl
and Hagland of the pass came up on
the tug also Messrs. Hardie and
Swenson, the quarry men. A CAL
Ter man met Capt. johnson last
night, who said he had just come
across the gulf from Pensacola on
the Seminole, bringing the Velasco
loaded down with 200 tons of coal
for use at the pass. They had good
weather coming across in about
three days and half, arriving at
the pass on Monday. As to the
amount of water ON Arkansas ba.
Capt. johnson said that lie was salts
fed that there were thirteen feet.
This is good deal more than has
been reported for some time. The
Caller hopes that the captain is cor
rect. The Seminole, which will
leave here this afternoon for the
pass, will take besides load of
rock. the steam holster which Cant.
johnson proposes using at the pass
in loading the Velasco with mahoga-
ny from the Crisis, the mahogany to
be taken to New Orleans. Mr.J. a.
Pegg, who has been in Corpus Chris
ii for some time, experimenting the
loading of barges, will leave on the
Seminole today for the pass. The
Caller hopes he may return soon.

RosENTHAL HAD NO CASE
Committee Report Swept Away
all His Ground.

patches last night in regard tC
the contested election case Of
Rosenthal vs.. Crowley was sub
stantiated this morning AS
soon as the house met Chair
man Mccall of the elections
committee No. 3 reported the
favorable verdict of the com
mittee on the contest for the
seat of Representative Culber
son, which failed to maTerialize.
The contestant for Mr. CnIber-
sons seat evidently gave up
the fight without bringing it to
Washington.
This was followed by a re
port unanimously in favor OF
Representative Crowley, with
the announcement that the de-
feated contestant (Rosenthal)
had asked permission to be-
heard by the house. The chair
man further stated that the
committee would ask unanIm
Gus consent to call the case to
morrow, and give Mr.. Rospnthal
a chance to be heard.
The report is very brief and
completely wipes away every
contention made by the contes-
tant. 1t seems that in the eyes
of the committee Mr. Rosenthal
made no case at all. His ap
pearance before the house, will
therefore, give him merely an
opportunity to console himself
with a defense and an explain
alton Of the inducement which
! led him to contest Mr.. Crew
ley's seat. The report states
hat she contestant asked an
impossible construction of the
law and further asked that it
be administered one way in one
county and another way in au-
other.
There was trouble in Calves
ton and Fort Bend COMMITTEES
over the vote cast, and in each
instance the contestant asked
that the vote be thrown out.
The report says, however, that
if the committee had thrown
out this vote in one instances it
would have been forced by the
same decision to have counted
it in the other, and vice versa.
Either decision would have re-
suited in the election of Mr..
Crowley by varying pluralilies
and no decision could be reacth
I'd by which the committee
could throw out the votes of
both countries.
Representative Crowley was
very generally congratulated on
this sweeping victory. which, it
mast be confessed, was almost
a surprise to him.
The contestant had his case
prepared by the very best law
yers in Texas and in Washing
ton. The Galveston democra
tic boilers against Representa-
tive Crowlry's election were
headed b. some of the best
lawyers in that city and these
were aided by Judge Jprp Will
son Of Washington. enc Of the
famous lawyers of the country

An effort is being made by the

tablish the fourth Sunday of Noyem
Der as annual temperance Sunday, to
be universally: obseyed. The move
ment originated in the London Sun
day School union and has been taken
up by leading temperance and Sun
day School workers of America, and
has the endorsement of bishops and
clergymen of nearly all denomina
tons.
Through the efforts of the Sunday
School workers Of the National Won
ans Christian Temperance union, the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church gave cordial endorsement to
the plan and changed the date of
their annual temperance Sunday
from the third Sunday of September
to the fourth Sunday of November,
also the general assembly of the
United Presbyterian church, the Ma

INTERESTING NEWSPAPER NOV
e1ty.-The Marriage Journal, of Portland,
Oregon, a large, prosperous and reliable
looking eight-page paper, seems to have
met popular demand. 1t is devoted to
bringing about introductions of marriage
able people by mail and contains over
five hundred descriptions of ladies and
gentlemen, some with means and some
without, who are seeking life partners.
The old idea that maid or widow, young
man or widower, should waste the best
years of their lives in waiting, WAITING,
WAITING for some suitable person to come
along and marry them has been exploded,
and now the best people in the land, lead
ers of society with manageable daugh-
ters, rich widows, shy and bashfu1 young
men, and old bachelors are finding court
ship made easy for them by correspond
ence with patrons of The Marriage Jour
nal. Correspondence can be conducted
secretly, as the papers are sent securely
wrapped, with nothing on fine wrapper ex-
cept the address, and all correspondence
is strictly confidential. All classes are
advertisers in The Journa1-lawyers, doc
tors, bankers, tradesmen, mechanics,
farmers-in fact almost every calling is
represented. If you are lonely, or want to
better your condition, and have the pick
of hundreds for life partner, send 10 cents
in silver for sample copy of The Marriage
Journal, of Portland, Or, and you will

urged its annual observance in all
! their churches. By action of the ex-
ecutiye committee of the Information
al Sunday School convention, the
Sunday School workers everywhere
are called upon for special observance
of the fourth Sunday of November of
each year as Temperance Sunday.
In view of the above facts and with
a desire to aid this movement, which
commends itself to Christian people
everywhere, we, the undersigned,
earnestly request the pastors of all
churches in our city to observe next
Sunday, Nov. %, as Temperance Sun
day. We recommend that temper
ance sermons he preached in the
morning and special attention be
given to the teaching of Bible tenn
perance lesson in the Sunday School,
with the introduction of such other
features as will make the Sunday
School hour significant for temper
ance. We would call the attention of
the Young Peoples Societies to the
subject of the Temperance Reform,
and ask that in their evening meet
ings it be made special subject of
prayer.
.. We would further suggest that in
the evening Union Temperance or
Christian Citizenship Meetings be
held in localities where it may be
practicable. The above call is made
to the end that Christian Temperance
sentiment be aroused and stimulated
in our city and that the Christian
churches take their rightful place as
leaders in this great reform move-
ment. Mrs. A. A. STONE, g
