Texas Horses In Cuba.

Same of the ranchers in Central
Texas estimate that 5000 horses have
been shipped from Texas to Cuba with
in the past six months, the demand
having been created by the war be-
tween the Spanish government and the
insurgents, says Dallas News. The
state Of Texas supplied horses to both
sides. An order was filed for the
Spanish government within the past
sixty days. Gen. Weyler, after study
ing the subject, gave the preference to
Texas bronchos. He is quoted by Mr..
W. P. Hall, who spent October in Ha-
vana, with saying that Texas horses
make superior cavalry mounts in a
rough country, where supplies were
not regularly provided, and were more
reliable in the Cuban climate than any
other stock. Mr.. Hall gave the News
reporter an account of the le2ding Of
a shipload Of horses at a Cub = port
for the use of the insurgenty~ HI
said: Il got my information fronf1
Texan who has been supplying tojs5N
Texas ponies for the insurgents ever
since the Cuban war commenced. The
horses were sent to the Atlantic sea-
board from an interior point and were
in gale two days. When the ship
ran into Cuban inlet Spanish cruis-
er was in the ofing, but fortunately
for the parties interested the Horse
ship went unobserved and made a safe
landing of the cargo. One fine horse
was sent as present from a Texan to
Gen. Maceo. The horses, my informant
stated, bore well known Texas brands.
Some of them were under fire within
twenty-four hours after touching Gu
ban soil. From all that learned from
the military authorities in Havana. and
from sympathizers with the insur-
gents, conclude that half OF the horses
in military use on the island were
raised in Texas"

Master Hobart did not plead his rela-

asked for the work. He pointed out to
President Mckinley the necessity of
having his house properly wired" and
his bid was so low that the president
closed with him at once. There are
other houses in Washington, and as
young Hobart is to remain in the cap
ital four years. it may be expected
Washington will soon be the most elab-
orately electrically equipped city in the

WOLCOTT MAY SERVE.
Hs Does Not Come within the Constita
tionRi Prohibition.

Washington, April 16.-The question
raised as TO the right of Senator VOL
colt TO serve as one of the international
monetary commissioners while at the
same time holding Office as United
States senator, occasioned much com
ment among senators. The law books
were examined and the precedents re-
called. As a result of the inquiry
started, the general conclusion was
that Mr.. Wolcott did not come within
the constitutional prohibition, as the
position to which he Is appointed is
not an ''office" in the strict legal sense,
but is an agency or commission.

Pruning Old Apple Trees.-AppIe
trees that have become unproductiye
may often be restored to usefulness nv
severe pruning, cutting out limbs that
have begun to decay, as these lessen
the vigor of the tree. If large limbs
are cut of the cut should be made
with a saw. and the cut surface quick
ly coated with a yarnish made of gum
shellac with rosin. With a new and
smaller top, yigor will return to the
old tree, and if supplied with mineral
fertilizers, especially, potash, it will
often be productive many years.
1t is good time to regraft these OLE
trees when pruning them, choosing
some extra vigorous variety that is

Northern Spy are both excellent kinds
to regraft on old and apparently worm

Good Prospects for the Hawaiian

The success of last years races has
given much encouragement to home
horsemen, so much so, in fact, that a
few of them here imported some new
horse blood to infuse into the sport If
this year. Heretofore the race pro-
grams have been good deal alike from
year to year, and only the advent of
the Billy Button horse seemed to start
a new era.
y Star reporter today accosted an
old horseman standing in the Pan

seen any new horses in the streets.
why, yes" he said, 81 have seen
them and I'm watching them. Tom
Hollnger has a new dark bay that has

Tom jogging along with his horse. !

be afraid of. / can count the sports
of this town on one hand, and Holling-

Billy Cunningham is handling is worth

it. There are more horses coming
down, and I may have something good
