OUR CONSULAR SERVICE.
IL should be a Powerful Agen-
ey In Extending Our
COmmerc.

"The consular service is the
practical and business side Of our
foreign intercourse" writes ex-
president Harrison in July Ladies'
Home Journal. There ale more
than twelve hundred persons in
the consular service Of the United
States. These are located in the
important commercial cities and
towns of the world, and are de-
scribed generally as Consuls Gen.
eral, Consuls, commercial agents,
interpreters, marshals and clerks.
The duties ola Consul are various
and multifarious. He is the pro-
teclOr and guardian of American
commerce; provides for destitute
American sailors and sends them
home; he takes charge Of the eff
fects Of American citizens dying in
his jurisdiction, having no legal
representative; he receives the
declarations or pre- tests Of our citi-
zens in any matter affecting their
rights; he keeps a record of the ar
rival and departure of American
ships and OF their oargoes, and
looks after vessels wrecked; he re-
ports any new inventions or inn
provements in manufacturing pro-
cesses that he may observe, and all
useful information relating 10 man
ufactures, population, scientific dis
coveries, or progress in the useful
arts, and all events or facts that
may affect the trade Of the United
States, and authenticates invoices
and statements Of the market val
ne Of merchandise TO be shipped to
the United States. Every Consu.
late is a commercial outpost; -
if the service could be given -
manence Of tenure, and a corps Of
men Of competent equipment, 1t
would become a powerful agency
in extending our commerce.

THAT MASONIC HOME.
Bryan should Use Every Means
to Secure 40.

As announced in the Eagle yesterday
morning q meeting Of citizens has been
called at the opera house Monday afler-
noon at $50 O'Clock for the purpose Of
taking steps towards securing the lOca-
ton Of the widows and Orphans Ma
sonic Home near Bryan. This Ia mat
ter OF great importance 10 Bryan and
We hope the meeting will be largely at
tended by our bost and most progressive
citizens. The committee whose duty It
will be TO select the location for the
proposed home will start ont soon to
perform that duty and Bryan shsuld be
ready to invite them here and present
such Inducements as will knock the
plum. it's desired 10 locate the insii-
tuition between Bryan and College, and
the natural advantages Of the situa-
ton cannot be excened in the state.
Coupled with this the proximity Of the
A. aud NJ. college Is an additional ad-
vantage which will not be overlooked
by the committee, on account Of the
educational advantages the college
would offer to the boys growing up in
the home. In this connection II may
also be- urged that when the time comes,
and IL must come soon, for an indus
trial school for girls in Texas, the pres
ence Of the college and the proposed
home, with the influence OF $4,000 Ma
IONS in Texas behind II, would be
strong leverage In the hands Of Bryan
for securing the girls industrial school
also. The peouniary advantages to To-
cal business interests which the home
would bring should also be duly weigh
ed by our people, and no stone should
be left unturned TO secure IL. Several
other places In the state are working 10
secure the prize, and like everything
else desirable, Il cannot be secured
without effort, There Is no doubt a
donation Of 200 acres OF land can be Sc
cured, and this should be supported as
much a. possible by additional induce.
menis. let everybody attend the
meeting. v

SALOON ~ TWO COUNTRIES.
An Ingenious Arrangement for the
Thirsty On the MeIicnn HOrdcr.

From the Louisville Commercial.
There Is an Ingenious saloonkeeper who
conducts a place in a little village on the
border between this country and Mexico:
The village u half in California and halt
10 his saloon one on the south and one
on the north side of a large room. The
dividing line between the TWO countries
blsects the house. and one bar Is located
In Mexico and the other is located in the
United States. The proprietor pays big
license to both countries, but still makes
a handsome living out of the business. He
has suspended all the way across the
street In front a unique sign. on the
United States side II reads in letters a
foot high, "Your first and last chance"
ON the other side. in Spanish. is express
ed the same idea.
The saloon is known by that name for
miles around, and many an Eastern tour
ist, who has quenehed his thirst there,
will remember II. u is a great resort for
Cow punchers" of both nations, who work
In that territory Hence many is the
bloody fight that takes place there. and
few are the ones brought to justice whose
crimes are committed there.
