THE VICTORIA THEATRE

The legislature of Tamuali
pas to encourage the compile
ton of the theatre about to be
erected at Ciudad Victoria, has
granted it permanent exemp
ton from state and municipal
taxes, on condition that the
theatre be loaned for prize dis
tributions and patriotic com

vided that convict labor may
be used in the erection Of the

a very small salary which will
be held for them until such

One of the most deplorable
incidents ever occurring in the
state of Tex.was the destruction
by fire of the boys binding at
the Buckner Orphans Home at
Dallas Saturday, in which sew
enteen innocent young lives
were lost. The Buckner. Home
represents one OF the noblest
charities ever organized in this
state. While nothing can com
peusate for the terrible loss of
life incurred. yet much can be
done to alleviate the condition
of the survivors aud TO repay
the loss Of the Home by the
burning of the building and
furniture. Voluntary contribu
tons are already being made
BY charitable Texans for this
purpose, and it is probable that
the entire loss will be covered
in this way, showing III nat
ural generosity and kindness
of our people.

HOMELESS SISTERS
OF CHARITY.

Chicago Times-Herald.
Twenty-four nuns, without a
convent and without a home
by distress from Ne
braska-found temporary shell
ter Thursday at Auburn Park
through the kindness of the
local Catholic pastor, Father
Egan.
The plight of the nuns when
they reached Chicago fromIthe
west was particularly pitiful.
They had no definite destina-
ton in view-no objective
point. Their purpose was to
get far away from Nebraska
and to get to Chicago. Their
resources were almost exhaust
ed and the outlook for them
was well nigh hopeless.
The nuns belong to the Wis
itation order. Their mission
is to teach, and there is nc
branch in which they are not
expert instructors.
The nuns remained in Ne
braska until they found them
solves on the verge of destina
ton.

-'IF all the country could sit

weston News. Col Sterrett's
long years of service in the
press galleries of congress have
given him such an insight into
the marrow Of our law makers,
that his opinion is doubtless
worthy of general considera

the corruption and vileness
which has crept into the very
citadel of the republic, through
The election of weak, unprin-
eipled creatures, many OF them
entirely devoid of the instincts
of gentlemen, that be has be

something aniiss in this great
republic, which. while blessed
with the God given right OF

TOLOCATE WRECKS.
Device to Notify the World of
Ocean Disaster.
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
The latest invention to locate
wrecks is credited to a Balti-
more man, who claims that by
its use it will be practically i'm
possible for a ship to be lost
without some record of the
disaster eventually reaching
land or being picked up at sea.
This device consists of a buoy,
which is to be always carried
on the deck of d steamer or
vessel. This buoy is a sealed
or alright cuneiform body,
made of iron, having a round
ed bottom, in order that the
waves may impart a rocking
motion to it as it rides upon
the surface.
Within the buoy is a gong,
supported by brackets. The
edoe or rim of this gong is
turned up into a cup, so that a
loose metal ball can rest in the
bottom of it when aboard ship,
but when the buoy is rolling
upon the waves the ball is
moved about in the metal cup
and a sound sufficiently loud
to attract the attention of pass
ling ships is produced.
To the lower or under side
of the buoy is a metal cage,
and within this cage is a reel,
around which is wound fathom
after fathom of line, the loose
end of which is attached to a
ring bolt in the deck of the
vessel. In order that the line
may not be cut by passing
ships or pieces of wreckage ii
has telescope metal casing
for about four fathoms. This
prevents the line being cut.
To the body of the buoy is
attached a box made of wood
or metal, in which can be plac
. ed the story of the catastrophe
which sent the craft to the BOZ
; tom. giving her approximate
latitude and longitude and any
: other particulars which there
may be time to record. The
box is Theoretically sealed and
water-tight. 1t is attached te
the side of the buoy by small
glass tube, which is easily brok
en- by pressure OF the water OF
by any piece of wreckage.
J As the ship sinks the buoy
is released from the deck and
floats toward the surface. The
line which attaches it to the
ship pays out automatically
and holds it in place over the
spot where the craft went
, down. Should the line be Of
insufficient length to allow the
buoy to be seen above the SUI
face the metal message box
: becomes detached by the pres
. sure of the water and rises tc
the surface, then to be picked
up and its contents of disaster
read by the crew of some pass
ing ship, or it may drift ashore
and then be picked up.

Report OF Operations Carried On
During April.
Col. Allen, the engineer officer in charge
of the Potomac river improvements. re-
ports that the clearing Of brush from the
reclaimed area opposite Washington was
continued during April with q small force
Of laborers, who have been engaged In the
work all winter. The brush is piled and
burned. About 800 acres have been al
ready cleared up. During extreme low
tides the force has been employed in taxi
ing down and relaying dry the lower part
Of the sea wall along the Washington
channel front of section Ill. About 800
linear feet have been relaid to a height Of
two feet above low tide: thus enabling the
resumption OF active operations as soon
as the necessary cement, now in transit,
arrives. The sea wall on the margin Of
the reclaimed area has been practically
let gates and along the bathing beach in
the tidal reservoir. The wall on the lower
part of the Washington channel front set
tied owing to the soft character Of the
river bed. 1t Is now being relaid and
raised to a height of feet above low tide.
The work required to complete the ap-
proved project is as follows: The dredging
Of the Virginia channel, the raising of the
remainder Of the reclaimed area to
the required height. the dredging of the
tidal reservoir, the completion of the sea
wall in the reservoir and along the Wash
ington channel, the construction of the
reservoir inlet and the completion of the
training dixie on the right of the Virginia
channel above the Long bridge.
Col. Allen says that arrangements will
soon be made for commencing the survey
for the construction of bridge across the
Eastern branch of the Potomac river in
line with Massachusetts, avenue extended
eastward. The act of February. II, 1897
appropriated 5000 for a survey, plan and
estimate of cost Of the bridge in question.
