TWO DAMAGE SUITS.
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE EDEL-
HUGHES AFFAIR.
Abe. EdcI Sues the Express for $780,
OoO--Mrs. Hughes Sues Frank
Dunn for $4,000.

There were two damage suits filed yes
,etday in the office Of the clerk of the civil
district court one by Abraham Edel
against the San Antonio Express for
Sol, 900 damages. the other by Mrs. FANNIE
b. Hughes against Frank Dunn for $le,oOo.
In the suit against the Express the
cause of action grows out OF the crcum-
stances that the Express, together with
several other papers of more or less I'M
portance both in and out OF Texas, pub
lished Abraham Edel, instead of Sol Edel,
as the man who was charged TO have been
IMPLICATED with Walter hughes in the al
legged attempt TO kidnap Frank Dunn's
child for $4,000 ransom.
Abraham Edel is brother of Sol Edol
and well known drummer He claims
that his good name and reputation has
been damaged TO the amount set forth in
his petition by the publication In the Ex
press duplicating HIM in the AFFAIR. Per-
rvman X Bullitt are counsel for the plain
till.
In the other case growing out of the
same affair Mrs. Fannie B. Hughes,
widow OF Walter b. Hughes, who was
killed while attempting to enter Frank
Duuu's house in this city on the night OF
March II, IS the paintin and she sues
Frank Dunn for $4,000 damages for de-
prving her OF her husband and mis- sup
port.
In this case Henry S. Williams is coun-
sci for plaintiff.

Life is Serious.

Every view we may take OF it, indi-
Gates that life is serious. 1t involves
immense interests. Its outlook is into
immortal ages. 1t is more than human;
it has divine side. We are not only
the children of men, but also the chill
dren of God. We are not only animals,
but also embryo angels. Our life in it's
essence is more OF spirit than of flesh
more for eternity than for time. The
seriousness, the overshadowing sense of
truth and right and holy and heavenly
things which made james the brother
of our Lord" the just and righteous
man he was, the pattern of deveut and
humane excellencies, is the spirit which
should have large place in US all. We
are in no danger of believing too much
in righteous works. All our dangers
lie in the fleshy and animal side Of our
lives. to which we ought to be able to
say, With our Master, when they tempt
US. "Get thee behind me. Satan. Req.
