THE ISLAND OF CRETE.
It's History From the Time
Greece Was a Great Power.

The early history of Crete
is mixed with mythology and
fable. Ilemer's poems mention
The Cretans as a spafaring peo
pie. Ii is certain that at a very
early period the Cretan cities
were celebrated for their laws
and system of government,
though they had no bond of
union frequently engaged IN
civil war of great bitterness.

BROWNSVILLE A POINT
OF ATTRACTION.

OF ATTRACTION.
Brownsville seems to be the
point of attraction now for the
railroad projectors. The Elk
press knowing the value of
such an import feeder to San
Antonio. has for several years
persistently advocated the
building OF such a road, and
has devoted considerable space
in its columns to that interest.
Numerous schemes have been
devised by promoters to enlist
capital, but thus far their eff
forts have proven fruitless.
Late dispatches, however, an
nounce as a certainty the build
ing in the near future OF a road
from Brennan to Brownsville,
and that with the one now sEo
ken of from San Antonio, and
a rumor that the Southern Pa
ciic might take a hand with
the initial point at Alice, alto
gether looks as is the matter
would soon assume shape, and
put in a tangible form to insure
the building of a road. The
Southern Pacific hold the key
to the situation, having only
100 miles TO build, and has the
advantage of its admirable faciI
tiles for placing its material on
the ground at less expense
than its competitors. Yester
days advices announced that
the citizen of Cameron county
I
had held a meeting and ap
pointed a committee to make!
to the State Legis
lature to have a law enacted
authorizing counties where
are no railroads, TO issue bonds
for the purpose of building
same. While other sections
are making efforts looking to
their future prosperity Laredo
should awake to the fact that
she commands a position which |
would place her in the front |
rank of Texas cities, should a
road be built along the banks
Of the lower Rio Grande, the
fertile lands of which are now
ying a waste for want of com
with the CONNER
sial centers and the building of
such a road would bring devel
'pnent of the irngating posi-
oilities and convert this section
nto a paradise for the farmer
md fruit grower.-Laredo

changed its course, since Gree

the settlement shall be entitled to more of
the worlds goods than his neighbor. Con-
sequentiy about all the farms are OF the
same size and are stocked equally. Another
law says If one member of the settlement
meets with misfortune his neghbOrs must
go down IN their pockets, pay MS indebted
ness, and, IL necessary. buy him new
farm and stock IL. .The Amish originally
came from county in one Of the Eastern
states. There are few families still living
In the East. Whenever a scion of one Of
the Eastern families emigrates to the In
diana settlement he is Immediately pre-
Stnted with a farm equal in size to those
of his brethren The Anish do not believe
in courts. that is they never settle any of
their d4fnculties in the courts, All disputes
taken up for settlement by majority of
members of the settlement. 1t is. however.
a rare occurrence that the least trouble
arises among them. They are iaw-abidng.
honest and truthful. They do not deposit
their money in banks. but accumulate and
hoard 1t in their homes. They raise all the
farm products usually grown in this section
OF the country, and are said to be the most
successful poultry raisers in the United
States.
Their everyday life is their religion.
They speak the German language and no
other They are negligent about educating
thelr children, and start them, boys and
girls alike, 10 work in the fields when they
are scarcely able to walk without assist
ance. Long pants are put on the boys at
the age of two or three years.
The Amish, owning so much land, are
necessarily big taxpayers.
Several months ago a young Amishman
conceived an idee to discard the hooks and
eyes ON his clothing, to shave his beard
and 10 buy a suit of store clothes This
he did and returned to his neighbors in the
new garb. He was Immediately elected
from the community. His farm was taken
from him, as well as his stock and farming
machinery. He was given strict orders
never again to put his foot on property
owned by any member of the settlement.
After several weeks he allowed his beard
to grow 10 its former length discarded his
new clothes for the old and returned to his
people. They finally received him and re-
turned his property to him.
Another Amjshman, while doing his trad
ing in Washington became struck with the
idea of wheeling He purchased a bicycle
and rode geefully home to show the ma
chine to the members of his family. The
old Amishmen of the settlement looked
wise and called a mass meeting 10 decide
whether or not it was proper for one of
their number to ride upon such contriv-
ance as a bicycle. The verdict of the elder
heads was against the young Amishman,
and he was compelled to part with the BIZ
cycle.
The Amish are strict and will brook no
new departure whatever from their code or
laws. They seem to know no trouble, ana
lead happy and contented lives.

is believed to be the biggest cave and what
may turn out to lie one Of the greatest
natural wonders yet discovered has been
found near Logan, small town about
twelve miles east Of Sloan Springs, in
Benton county. The full extent of the dis
covery has not yet been determined, but

who claims to have been in the cave from
D. m. until midnight, from five to seven
miles were explored without finding the end.
The cave is traversed by a large stream,
and their trip was made in boats. Mr.. Cam
field has travelled extensively and has
visited many of the natural wonders of the
world. but he claims to have never seen
anything that beats the mammoth cave OF
Arkansas. The existence of this cave mas
been known by old settlers ever since the
war, but it had never been explored. At
many places along the underground river
no bottom could be found, although sound
ings We're made. There is cavern after
cavern, Mr.. Garfield says, the grandeur of
which by torchight cannot be portrayed
by pencil. At some places along the route

heard growing in the barnyards above, so
close did he come to the top of the earth,
but not a trace of daylight was visible from

BIG SLEEVES; LITTLE WOMAN
IncOn sistency That Led to Mrs. KanA-
piers Arrest for Smuggling.

NEW YORK, Sept. &--When slender
little woman declares every one of the tif-
teen silk waists found in her trunks belongs
to her and her only the customs officers
are apt to become suspicious. 1t was dec
laration of this sort that brought trouble
to Mr.. and Mrs. John Kampier of Philadel-
phia, who arrived Oh the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse yesterday morning. When the
inspector opened one of Mrs. HAMPERS
trunks on the pier in Hoboken he found it
filled with silk waists. He became suspi-
cious at once and notified Deputy Surveyor
Bowling. The latter questioned Mrs. Kam-
pier and she informed him that the waists
were for her personal use.
WHAT Such big sleeves for so small a
woman?' he asked in surprise.
Yes sir, she answered, they are the
latest style"
II guess so.' commented Downing. With
that he produced a pair of scissors and
ripped open the sleeves of one of the gar
ments. out on the pier rolled silks and laces
in plenty. A second garment disclosed
like supply. Deputy Dowling appraised the
smuggled goods at $500. Mr.. and Mrs. Kam-
pier were placed under arrest. They had no
explanation to make.
