opened the Fall Campaign at Cretin
Hall.

The Catholic total abstinence So
cieties of Ramsey county opened the
fall campaign4astl evening in Crusad-
ers' hall with a large and enthusiastic
public meeting.
County Organizer T. ]. Doyle pre-
sided. and, in his opening address,
urged the members of the various So
cieties affiliated with the county union
to continue during the coming season
the work of the previous years.
The spiritual director of the state
union, Rev. 7. il Gibbons, was the
speaker of the evening. He dwelt
particularly upon1' the necessity Of
young people joining the total absti-
nence societies. ~
He said: IF a young man is total
abstainer andy is industrious, he is
bound to rise,just as the sun rises in
the eastern sky every morning. But, if
he drinks, even moderately. his in
dustry and thrift feount for nothing,
for he is, day after day, drawing
himself down, a slave.
you will often find many. ambitious
boys and girls hampered, in their ca
reer, by the disgrace brought upon
them by a drunken father"
Mr.. McKennan, chairman of the
Burial Aid association, explained the
objects of the association, and urged
the total abstinence people to give
it their support. He announced a con-
yention to be held in October to per-
manently organize the association.

face of the globe. Not because they
believe in disorder, but because their
trust in the maintenance of order and
equal rights has been disturbed, are
they inclined to give ear to the advo-
Gates of violence.
AS We said at the outset. even the
death of these innocent men is not as
serious a thing as is the injury done to
liberty, the encoura cement given to
lawlessness and the stimulus to an
archy by Sheriff Martin and his dep
uty. 1t is lesson which the passion
ate and ignorant among our people
must not be allowed to learn if we are
to hope for political stability and public
order. A swift and final reversal Of
this system of government by injunc-
ton and a restoration Of the rights
guaranteed to every citizen by the con-
stitution as long as he keeps within the
law must come unless we are to find
the deadly and destructive anarchistic
spirit transplanted, like the germ Of
some hideous plague, to find a pernla-
nent home within our borders and to
spread its deadly blight over our gov
eminent and our people.

among the shipping There was no
less of life in the older or new Sabine
pass proper. The tugs Famine, Gui-
lote and John P. Smith were sunk, and
the Norwegian steamship Ceres, eight
hundred tons, was torn from her moor
ings at the wharf and blown five miles
north before she grounded in a few
feet of water. When she parted her
lines, the captain and crew escaped
and the vessel was left to the caprice
of the wind. The ship was chartered
to take cargo of lumber for a French
port. Only slight damage was done at
the old town of Sabine pass.
Two men who took refuge in a
freight car had their legs broken by it
being blown over. Others in the car
were slightly injured. Those were the
only two accidents at the new town.
Several residences were blown from
their foundations and all hastily con-
structed buildings were demolished.
No one in the town was seriously in
jured, the casualties being confined to
the shipping.
Eight miles of the Texas &, Sabine
railroad, north of Sabine pass, is
washed away. Twenty-Five hundred
feet of the export pier at Port Arthur
is damaged and the people of that
town were so terror-stricken that they
are now I6dNlDS II dS do ILCJ Oobh
get away No damage estimate of
property at Port Arthur and Sabine
pass has been obtained. The damage
in the country to the buildings and
crops is severe. The losses to farmers
in Jefferson county alone will approx
mate S15O,0O0, which they would have
had in hand within thirty days had
the storm been delayed that long, but
now the crops are completely ruined.
The Texas & Sabine Pass Railway
company is at work building their
lines to Sabine pass and rebuilding
and repairing is in progress at the
new town of Sabine and as soon as
the people of Port Arthur recover from
their fright rebuilding, will be resumed
there.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
railway will at some time in the near
future repair the damage inflicted to
their property at Port Arthur and push
their ship canal to an early compile
ton. The chief officials of the road are
now en- route to Port Arthur.

THE cAP1roL DECISION STANDS.

The opinion rendered to the governor
yesterday by the attorney general sus-
tains the capitol commission in its
choice of stone for the new building.
The question at issue was whether the
law of 1895, with its provision requir-
ing domestic stone to be used in the
construction of state buildings. was
binding in this case. Mr.. Childs holds
that it is not, for two reasons Inc
first of these is that it admits of two
constructions; one that home material
should be used in all cases unless the
same kind of stone that is produced
in Minnesota can be obtained elsewhere
at a. lower cost; the other that it means
that outside material may be used,
whether of the same kind or of diff
ferent kind from the Minnesota varl-
ETY., if it appears to be to the advantage
of the state to do So The attorney gen
eral holds to the latter view.
But it is scarcely necessary to discuss
this, on account Of the larger scope OF
the other reason ON which the decision
is based. This is that the law Of 1893,
providing for the erection Of state
capitol. expressly declared that the
commissioners should have full power
to determine what material should be
used. They are to adopt the home
product only when, in their judgment,
it is for the best interests of the state.
This act is not repealed by the later
statute in terms; and it is therefore de-
clared that no matter what may be
the Interpretation of the act of 1898, 1t
would not be binding upon the capitol
commiss on, acting under the larger and
unabridged act Of 1893 For this rea-
son the governor is Informed that the
capitol commission has not exceeded
its powers in contracting for the use
Of Georgia marble.
This disposes of the issue that has
been raised. 1t will be satisfactory to
the people to have the matter kept out
of the courts, no matter what may be
their belief as to the use OF outside ma
terial. We have never believed in that,
and have urged, first, last and all the
time, that Minnesota stone only should
be put into the Minnesota capitol. The
commission having decided otherwise
and the legal representative Of the state
having confirmed their act, the agita-
! ton may now cease.

GALVESTON, Tex. Sept 14.-Later
day from points in the storm belt show

We're all on vessels which were sunk

badly cut about the knees and wrists:
Mrs. Williams had her feet and hands
injured; Mrs. BARRIERS limbs were seri-
ously injured, and people in the vi
cinity of Winnie were generally injured,
but none killed.
Port Arthur suffered the brunt of the
blast. and half of the town is estimat-
ed to have been destroyed or badly in
jured The wind came UP about
o'clock and rapidly increased in veloc-
ity, blowing from the south and gradu-
ally working into the east. A large
number of people sought shelter from
the storm in the round house of the
railroad, and several were severely in
jured and two killed. Under a restau-
rant a small frame structure, three
more bodies were found. The wind
blew with hurricane force about two
hours. There were many miraculous
escapes, and those who were killed were
caught under the ruins of the round
house and TIE small restaurant

If it is true that the Morgans paid only
$4,000 duty on $4,000 worth of apparel import

ficers must have been very gracious to the
ladies, for the duty charged is but 63s per
cent of the value of their apparel. Diamonds
would have paid 10 per cent and jewelry
80 per cent, while clothing would have ranged
around 100 per cent. 1t will be interesting
