The 61st Anniversary.

"Perhaps Texas might have remain
ed Mexican state, had the Mexicans
maintained a repu blican form OF gov
ernment. But the republic of Mexico
had disappeared, Santa Anna had
abandoned the liberal party and was
making rapid strides for absolute DOW
er; the constitution of 1924 had been
swept away" Thus wrote Historian
Thrall on the causes Of the Texas war
of independence and this cause result
ed in the call for a convention which
met at Washington, on the Brazos, and
on March 2. 1886, the declaration of
T xas independence was made public.
This led to q serious war with Mexico,
in which the Texans were victorious
and General Santa Anna was captured.
For ten years after the battle of San
Jacinto, Texas main tained it's independ-

FINE BRIDAL PRE- SENTS
James MagOffin and Bride Have Fine
Send off.

The number of wedding presents
given James Mag fin and his bride
nee Miss Annie Buford, practically fill
an entire room at the American consul
ate, and Mrs Buford is showing them
with just pride to friends. The pres
ents are entirely of sterling gold anu
silver ware and cut glass goods from
countless as one looks at them. Cards
accompany each of the numerous gifts,
but the cataloging would require over
| two hours work, and Mrs. Buford will
not undertake the task for few days,
| and then the receipt of the gifts will
be suitably acknowledged.
The table service is especially ele-
CANT, including solid gold small fruit
f. rks, and tray after tray of solid ware
brilliant in their brightness. One par
ticularly valuable case of solid service
coming from Collector Davis Another
of the more notable gifts is gloriously
painted punch howl, from Will Race
and wife, Mrs Race doing the decorat-
ing herself. 1t is an exquisite piece of
artistic effort. John and Pete Steffian
gave some lovely sterling wares of high
value, and groups of other friends pre-
sented hand decorated china ware for
table service Of fhe most delicate work.
manship and painted and colored with
the most exquisite designs. w. r.
Brown and Miss Moore gave very
handsome glass cabinet hich was fill
ed with costly bridal presents from
numerous friends. 1t was certainly, as
w. G. Walz remarked this morning,
the finest bridal collection ever seen in
the southwest, or in fact out of one of
the larger cities.
Iu addition to the able presents
retained here for the return of the
young couple who will be back in bout
three weeks, there are a number of
checks from relatives that will set
them up in good shape: and then, as
they will live with the groom's parents
in the Magotfin avenue hacienda, they
will be sure of pleasant home, until
such time as they may see fit to set up
housekeeping for themselves.
The departure last evening from the
Mexican Central depot was marked by
good time. The couples babbage
was got hold of in the baggage car by
friends and tied up with white
ribbons. Then white ribbon was
fastened on the Pullman. and while the
ton of the pair was called in an
other direction, their section in the
Pullman was all decorated with white
ribbon. At first the groom seemed to
dislike this decorating business, but
he could not help himself, and shortly
gave up protestation as bad job.
Friends by the score were there from
both sides of the river to
see the train off, and the shower
of rice that followed the departure was
some thing excruciating.

the Mexican people to leave his native

DIFFERENT WOMEN.


A man who has had long diplo.
matte career and knows whereof he
speaks has been making an interest
ing comparison of the different women
of Europe. He says that in England
the average accomplishments OF the
class known as gentlewomen are not
high. Every girl is supposed to learn
how to sketch and play the piano, but
her acquaintance with modern Ian
guages and history is nil. English
girls are exuberant in health, spirits
and vitality, due to their fondness for
outdoor life, but they do not shine in
any particular except riding and lawn
tennis. If conversation is preached
on any subject outside Of their imme'
diate interest they are dull and at sea-
''It would be difficult" says this man,
"to find in England a gentlewoman
who is acquainted with the identity
of the President of the United States
and who does not fancy New Orleans
is but a few hours from Boston"
In France there are daughters OF the
old aristocracy who have made point
of being graduated from the public
schools and obtaining diplomas, fitting
them to earn their living as govern
esses and teachers, but this is excep-
tional. What the French woman may
lack in knowledge, however, she makes
up in grace, chic and elegance.
Austrian and Hungarian women can
not be considered accomplished, and
an intellectual one would be as much
of an oddly as spirituelle French
woman. Dancing and riding are their
only plishments.
The German gentlewoman's accom-
plishments are of the domestic order ;
she is the reverse of intellectual and
possesses none of those graces OF mind
that are feminine accomplishments in
the strictest sense of the word.
Italian and Spanish women are dis
tinguished above all others of Europe
for their profound ignorance, due to
their ineurable Incidence. They dc
not possess even the art or elegance Of
dress, and while the Spaniard has hef
artful fan and mantilla to delude
people into believing she is artistic,
the Italian has nothing but her chance
beauty.
The most accomplished and brilliant
of European women Is the Russian
who, besides vivacious temperament.
has a marvellous facility for acquiring
foreign languages and power O
