W0EFUL HISTORY OF AN AGED AT
TERNOON PAPER.
Some Splendid Posthumous Advice to
Writers With Large Self Esteem San
Antonio DETAINED by a Tramp.

Houston, Tex, Jan. ESPECIAL
COrrespOndence)-The suspension of
the Evening Age, as wired the Light
Wednesday, caused considerable Cos
sip on the streets when it had became
generally known, which was not until
late in the afternoon The cause of the
suspension is not fully known yet.
1t will be remembered by the reader
of the Light that the paper changed
hands very recently, about /: month
ago, when Mr.. c. ii. McMasters, the
secretary of the Galveston Board OF
Commerce, purchased n half interest
in the paper, he to have editorial
charge OF the same. Mr.. -, who
owned the other half, was to be the
business manager of the concern. MIR.
Tom Finty, Jr., one of the brightest
and most facile newspaper men in the
state. was sent here from the Calves
ton Tribune to take editorial man
agement. The paper was on its last
legs then. BY dint of perseverance
and excellent work on the part of Mr..
Finty and staff, which consisted Of
George Byrne and c. Arthur Will
liams, the paper was raised to Il level
of other leading afternoon papers in
the state and was rapidly gaining in
favor. Then the rush came.
When the new deal was made the
paper took on metropolitan airs and
its pages soon reflected the energies of
the business manager, but during the
past few days the work of the adj
solicitor has not appeared so potent.
The mares subsistence was taken
away, and the mare stopped.
1t is thought and hoped that Mr..
McMasters will make arrangements
Ito continue the paper. 1t is a paying
property if rightly managed.
The Age is the paper Of which Col.
Dan McGary started and who was the
editor thereof.
In the last issue of the paper
appeared the following editorial.
from the pen of Mr.. Finty, which
will no doubt interest newspaper men
in general and staff correspondence
especially:

INDIVIDUAL RECOGNITION.

INbl AL iOAN-
There are men who have spent the
best part of their life time in journal
ism. who use the first personal pro-
noun and sign their articles because
their individuality counts for some
thing. 1t is their individual opinions
and views that are given, untrammell-
by the policy of the paper for which
they may happen to be writing. and
il is the views of such men and not
the views of the paper which are
sought by the public. There is both
prOpriety and necessity for the mani
festatiOn of such writer's personality,
But there are OtherS-yOung in jour-
nalish, with laurels yet to win, who
might retire from the newSpaperdom
without serious shock to the sheets
from which they draw their salaries
or to the public; young men who may
in time attain to greatness and whose
individuality may assert itself. The
modest affiXing of their signatures to
their articles. in order that the public
may watch their meteoric rise and in
the years to come claim acquaintance
with their humber efforts, is all we'll
enough and is not Objectionable when
it ends there. But there is such
thing as going too far, and that is
what some of the ambitious young
men are doing A wonderful amount
of self-laudatiOn is creeping in over
their signatures, suggesting the
thought that a public, lacking in dis
cernment and appearance, must Deeds
be invited to specific inspection of

emhvrtic CreelmanS. "GathS" and
Curtises. The practice is calculated
to create a demand for sarsaparilla. if

waiiRa Probate.
In recent number of the Free
mans Journal, Dublin, received
at the BULLETIN Office, a curious

valued at $4,000, to his nephew,

law, Miss Ann Murphy. Should
he refuse to get married to Miss
Murphy and take some other per
son as his wife, he should cease to
have any claim or title to the
property described, which should
then belong to the wife of the tes-
tator. LIZ these directions were
carried out, the will provided that
certain cattle, ETC., were to go to
the testator's wife, and she was
to have a room in his house. After
the testator's death George Nc
Dermott entered into possession
of the farms. He was delicate
young man, and died on February
10, 1896, having married neither
Alice Murphy nor anyone else. 1t
was in the evidence in the suit re-
ported below that George had not
asked Alice to marry him, but on
being questioned as to whether he
would get married his reply was

death the testator's widow, Bridget
McDermott, entered into posses.
sion. Simon Cunningham obtained
probate of the will. These two last.
mentioned were made defendants
in suit for the property brought
by Francis McDermott, the father
and personal representative of the
dead nephew, George. The case
was argued by prominent counsel
before the Master of the Rolls,
who held that the Gift in the will
was subject to a condition which
was a condition subsequent. The
nephew had not refused to marry
the lady, nor had be married any
one else. The order of the court
was that on the plaintiff under
taking to carry out the directions
in the will as to the benefits to be
conferred on the widow in the
same manner as if the nephew
had married the lady, there should
be declaration that the plaintiff
was entitled to the rents and
profits.
The case will be interesting to |
lawyers in Hawaii, where the |
courts often have curious wills to |
with conditions based |
upon future contingencies that
cannot be foreseen.

the changes made we might
mention the increase of the

and the adoption of one inch

clamp, retaining otherwise the
same form of forging into
which the rear tubes are brazed.
The crank fastening is also i'm

key instead of clamp screw;
the matched conugations of
the shaft and crank are retained.

Laborers Are Worse OT Than Any
where Else In the world.
Ii it be the government dictated
by Spain, that makes possible the
conditions III Cuba depicted by
Mr.. j. Knapp Reeve, one can
easily understand the fighting
humor in which the Cubans are.
But if it be the home government
that is chargeable with all,or any
part of the horrors of rural life
on that sunny island we cannot
conceive a man insane enough to
raise his hand to save such a gov
eminent from going straight to
the devil. Mr.. Reeve says:
Between the condition of the
planter and that of all other agri-
culturists whatever in Cuba the
widest difference exists. The
laborer has nothing, never has
had anything, and is happy in the
knowledge that he never will
have anything. The small farm
er, the owner of few acres, is
the most abjectly poverty, stricken
son of the soil that L have ever
met. He lives in the poorest
habitation known to civilized
men, a hut made of the bark of
the palm tree. Beside it the
adobe dwelling of the Mexican is
a palace. 1t has one room, dirt
floor, neither window nor chin
ney. In this the family live like
cattle, subsisting upon the poorest
of food, as most that the soil pro-
duces must go to pay the taxes.
Children run about, guiltless of
the knowledge of clothes until six
or eight years old. Books, edu-
cation, the world, are things of
which they have never even
dreamed. Irrigation Age.

THE DECISION.


1t is safe to say that rarely il
ever has decision of the Supreme
Court been given which will be
more universally concurred in by
the people of this country than
that rendered by the Supreme
Court in the matter of the petition
Of large number of intending
japanese immigrants for writ Of
habeas corpus, under which they
might enter the Hawaiian
Islands and become part and
parcel of the population
thereof. The effect of this
deliycrauce of the highest judicial
authority of the country is not to
restrict japanese immigration of
lawful sort in any degree. Re-
striction of the introduction Of
japanese either free or under
contract for labor cannot be
effected excepting under the pro-
visions of the Alien Act while the
present treaty relations with
Japan continue. There is a strong
opinion held almost universally
by the citizens of this coun-
try, excepting a few plan.
tiers, that the lawful importation
of japanese is being conducted to
an excess. If, then, the slight
control over japanese immigra-
ton which is provided in our law
should have been found liable to
be smashed to pieces by interest
ed persons armed with bubbles
and technicalities wrenched from
legal forms and practises, there
would be occasion for the pro-
foundest Indignation on the part
of the public which might easily
be expected to result in an ire
pressible agitation for the abroga-
ton Of the treaty with Japan
and the total exclusion
of japanese immigration. The
decision of the Court will make
the public breathe easier, with the
assurance that japanese immi-
grants cannot be dumped into the
country, fraudulently, by the
shipload. They must either come
under contract to labor, with the
approval Of the Board OF lmmi-
grafton, or every mothers son of |
them have at least fifty dollars of
his own in pocket-not the mere |
holding of that amount sent from
shore, for the purpose of evad |
ing the law, for the few
minutes of his inspection by
the customs officials. The |
BULLETIN has not the least doubt |
did not have from the beginning |
that those responsible for the |
presence, at the gates Of this
country today, of the japanese
who have been refused admission,
coldly calculated upon getting
them into the Hawaiian Islands,
partly through the presumed COM
plsisancy of the Government and
for the rest by evasions of the law
or, if necessity arose, by degrade
tion Of that great boon of
liberty, the writ of habeas corpus,
TO a mercenary end. The game
has been foiled, however, once for
all. Now that the customs officials
have their authority of decision
