The Texas legislature has had under
consideration the admission into the
sisterhood of counties several of the
unorganized ones now lying in the ex-.
treme northwestern part of that inn
mense state. Take the counties of Hale.
Cochran, Terry and several others lying
adjacent to them, near the New Mexico
border, the citizens do not have to COM
tribute anything toward the support of
the government. OF course there ara
but few of them, however. In one OF
these-Terry, l think-there is ranch
man herding something like 5000 head
of cattle on the wild lands. There ara
no assessors or sheriffs to assess or col-
lect taxes, nor officers to make arrests
when some of the boys fall out and
shoot each other. 1t was not many
years ago when Tom Green, the largest
county of any in the United States, had
no representative at Austin when the
legislature met. Pecos. county almost
as large, remained unorganized until =
few months ago. At one time less than,
a dozen years: ago there were more than
so counties in Texas in name only. il
requires population of 200 before =
county may be recognized. In several
instances the census has been swouenj
because some ambitious fellow wanted
to go to the states capitol as repre-;
senter. u. S. Evans, in Chicago Tmess

lnFs That Fade.

DR.. Persifor Frazer of Philadel-
phia who has considerable real es-
tate interests in this county being a
member of the Elgemero club and
the owner of a cottage near Milford
and who occasionally visits our
town, has an artle in recent issue
of the Legal Intelligencer entitled
Standard of Inks. In it he discusses
the characteristics necessary for a
durable and lasting ink, and strong
ly recommends that standard for
inks to be used in documents to be
preserved for long time be estab-
lished, so as to insure the safety of
valuable records.
He states that the in ks of the past
century were much better in quality
in respect to durability than many
of the writing fluids which began to
be introduced about twenty years
ago, when the anilines were forcing
their way into every industry which
dealt on color, and many of the
anilines of that day have completely
AIDED by this ii me.
We can heartily subscribe to the
sentiments he so well expresses.
Our inks seem to be in one respect
at least manufactured expressly tc
aid the sale of pens, whether the
ink makers and pen dealers are in
league we do not know, but it is a
fact that a pen is, in a very few days
eaten up with the fluid. Then too
the ink seems to be sticky and in an
ordin airy stand, soon becomes thicl
and unfit for use. Big money re.
mains for the geuius who invents
an ink which will stand the test of
time, and will not corrode the bot
tom of a glass stand

University of Michigan, as U. s.
minister. The stories to that effect
probably originated with those who
are interested in having that very
thing occur and who have been try
ing to fill the Turkish minister S
mind with distrust of Mr.. Angel, in
order to bring it about. 1t is stated
that DIR. Angel has engaged passage
on a steamer which sails from New
York June 18th and expects to start
for Constantinople ON that day.
Representative Lewis, James Ham
ilton Lewis he writes it, of the State
of Washington, the man who had
the temerity to attempt to help jerry
Simpson get periodically tumbled
over by Speaker Reed, is about as
near to being the talking ma
chine p" he is called as eIy man who
ever sat in either branch of Con
gress. Three hundred words a
minute is a about his gait. The
House stenographers dread to see
him start to talk.

IN HONOR OF THE DEAD.
Appropriate Exercises Over the
Graves Of the Brave.

The Veterans of Col John Nyce Post @.
A. r.. Met at the Court House and
After the Exercises Were over They
Went to Montague.-Notice of Thanks.
Inc day was wholly propitious for
the occasion and the veterans ac-
cOmpanied by a number of citizens
betook themselves to the cemetery at
the time appointed. Arriving at the
beautiful city of the dead the process
sion halted in front of the grave of
Col. John Nyce where the exercises
were begun by Commander John w.
Kilsby, who read impressively the
ritual of the g. A. r. This was fol-
lowed by singing the hymn Landing
of the Pilgrims, by a choir composed
of Mrs. Bensell Mrs. Thos. Arm
strong, Mrs. j. H. Van Etten, Mrs.
Savaidge, Mrs. Williamson, Miss De-
pew and f. B. Thrall. Prayer was
then offered by Post Chaplain D. V.
Drake, after which the choir rem
dered The Blue and the Grey"
The decorating of graves was then
done by Comrades Helms, Hotalen
and Dingman, when the song
" Gathering Home was sung and
Rev. Thomas Nichols made a brief
and appropriate address. The choir
then gave &" America" and the
benediction was pronounced by Rev.
w. r. Neff, The Post then pro-
ceeded to the cemetery at Montague,
New Jersey, where like services
were held except that the address
was made by Rev. w. r. Neff.
John West was color bearer. The
flowers were profuse and beautiful
and a wreath presented by Buist
the florist was especially notable for
its exquisite colors and tasty ar
rangement. Each year new mounds
are marked by the little flag and
covered with fresh flowers, and the
veterans march with depleted ranks.
Some comrale has ended his earthly
fight and answered the long roll
call, but the memory of his sacri-
flee for our country will remain
fresh in the hearts of those who re-
call these Memorial Day exercises.
The members of the Post desire
TO thank all those who aided in the
exercises especially the ladies of the
choir, the reverend gentlemen who
made addresses and those who gen.
erously furnished flowers, and as
well Messrs. Gregory, Horton and
Van Tassel for their kindness in
furnishing conveyances.

When abroad Mr.. and Mrs. Cahill
secured the exceptional privilege of
an audience with the Pope at what
wIlprobably be his last public re-
ception. The cardinals, ,prelates and
all high church dignataries were
present in their official robes, and
his Holiness was carried in sitting
in chair as his health is poor and
he very feeble. The scene was one
OF unusual pomp and circumstance
and was duly appreciated by our
friends accustomed to the more
Democratic American ways and
manners.

The Gramaphone enterta inment
at the Methodist Church May 31st
was well attended and altogether a
pleasant affair. The net proceeds
were over $21. If our people would
content themselves by patronizing
amusements gotten up in whole or
part for the benefit of home charity,
there is no reason why just as good
talent could not be secured and just
as satisfactory results in the way of
entertainment obtained as by pat
ronizing the shows of outsiders who
come here to scoop up all the cash
they can with the least outlay of eff
fort. Such affairs simply remove so
much money from the town without
any compensating gain either in
amusement or instruction.
