ISOLATION has been organized Just little
more than year. and II has secured the
passage Of the best game bill We have ever
had The law will prohibit the transporta-
ton OF birds out OF the State and will pre-
vent the extinction OF game. One of its
provisions ia protection to pheasants for
five years. Messrs. w. V. Fort. Joney
Jones. Turner Hubby and Bayliss Earle are
now raising pheasants. and under the dlrec-
tion Of their association they propose to
stock the State. They multiply very rap
idly. and when the five years limit has ex
pired there will be quite lot of them IN
Texas. The new game law is welcomed by
all Texas sportsmen. Heretofore we have
been at Ike mercy Of the market hunters OF
New York, and now we can run them back
TO the markets from whence they came.
Every sportsman in Texas is By honor
bound to see tina. the law is enforced. En-
list the cooperation OF officers In every
county, and when you see violation of
the game law prosecute the offender, even
IL he be your friend. This has ceased to be
a matter of sentiment. 1t is stern ne
cessity.

ROMANCE HAD CHARMS,
Charlotte Gruenhagen and John
Gwynn Married in San
Jose.
The Briie Returned to Her Parents
and the Young Husband Sailed
for Mexico.

San Jose has again witnessed a secret
marriage. In this case two of San Fran
cisco's popular young people sought the
quiet influences of the Santa Clara metro
polls to join hands and hearts.
Miss Charlotte Gruenhagen. well known
in musical and society circles Of this City,
daughter OF @. II. Gruenhagen, and John
Gwynn, q young man interested in
Mexicos mines, are the contracting
parties.
Mr.. Gwynn and his young wife met in
this City several years ago. They are
both ardent students of music, and their
mutual love of harmony was the means OF
bringing them together quite often. About
a year ago, according to the young wife,
they became engaged, but, without appar-
ent reason, decided to keep the betrothal
a secret. Mr.. Gwyun finally decided to
seek wealth IN the N mes of Mexico.
A few months ago, leaving his affairs in
the care of friends, he returned TO this
City. On February 6 he and his fiancee
went to San Jose. In the evening they
returned husband and wife. Mrs. Gwynn
returned to the home of her parents, 23l2
Cough street, and explained her absence
The young woman's husband sailed for
Mexico, lett his wife of day and went to
settle up his business. In q few months,
however, he will return, or his wife will go
to him; 1t depends upon conditions.

VARNEY GASKILL ACCUSED.


Bad Faith on His Part Alleged by the
Alliance Insurance Company.
The Alliance Assurance Company of
London has instituted a peculiar suit
against Varney w. GaskilI, John D.
Richards and Carl A. Henry. The COM
plant alleges that Gaskill was formerly
employed by the Alliance Assurance
Company, and while so employed made q
memoranda of all the outstanding risks or
policies for fire insurance of the
said company, and that after leaving
the company he associated himself
with Richards e. Henry, delivering TO
them the memoranda OF the assurance
company's business in order that Rich.
ards d Henry, together with Gaskill, nay
get the business for themselves.
1t is asserted that it is usual for persons
to renew their policies in the same COM
pany with which they have been doing
business, and that this would be the
natural course for the patrons of the as
surance company. but that the defend
ants will interfere with and injure the
company's business and patronage unless
they are compelled 10 surrender the
memoranda obtained by Ga askill, which it
is alleged ought TO be regarded as the Pc
culiar property OF the assurance company.
The plaintiff asks for decree to COM
pei the defendants, Gasklll, Richards and
Henry, to deliver up for cancellation the
said memoranda, and that the defendants
be forever enioined from using the same,
and for such other relief as may be equita-
bic. Vanness q Redman are attorneys for

the United States:

1t is the general sense of the committee
that mass-meeting ought to be called at
an early date to take action on the Gu ban
question, so as to put this coast on record
as in line with New York and as sincerely
in favor of any righteous movement for
liberty, particularly on this hemisphere.
I'VE have had promises OF many
speeches" said Secretary Mascherini yes
terday, land we expect 10 be able TO add
Samuel M. ShortridGe to the list as one of
the principal speakers. His voice has
been heard for liberty so often that it
would be good idea to have him as one
of the principal speakers at the mass
meeting"
"The mails bring new discussions of the
Cuban question each day." said President
Jones yesterday, "and some of our CORE.
spofdents run to poetry"
There is great diversity of opinion
among the various friends of Cuba as to
the best way TO aid her, but the prevailing
council in the ranks of adheren Is is that a
middle course ought to be pursued in the
deliberations of the meetings. Some are
for urging that this Government take
active measures. while others favor non
interference; but the platform on which
all can stand advocates that American
citizens extend to Cuba their sympathy
and give her citizens the full benefit OF
their moral support.
