COWBOY SOLDIERS.
Texas Rangers Hate Spaniards and Want

to Go to War.
There is in Texas and New Mexico an
intense hatred of Spaniards, and ranch
owners state that they may have to draw
upon the cities for men in case there should
be call for volunteers. The cowboys have
already in anticipation of conflict had
representatives visit all the ranches in that
country to canvass the situation thorough
~ and ascertain beyond possible doubt just
how many can be depended upon to re-
spond to the first demand. These CATTLE
men will not join any military organiza-
ton that is not made up of their own class.
They wish to be in the cavalry ranks. All
of them are already armed with the regu-
lation winchester and colts six shooter of
the latest approved model and the matter
of their arming will not cost the govern
ment penny. They go in the main for
the reckless love of the danger into which
they will be thrown and which they have
learned to regard as the very spice of life
through years of hardship.
It is the same throughout the great con-
trail section and, in fact, throughout the
state in general. With this rush of cattle
men will como also an exodus of the reck-

I regret to say that vegetarianism
is fighting diet. Ninety-nine per
cent of the world 'sfighting has been
done on farinaceoUs food. In Ira
falgar square found it impossible
to run away as fast as the meat eat
ers did. Panic is a carniverous spe-
cialty. If the army were fed on a
hardy, healthy, feshless diet, we
should hear no more of the disgust
of our colored troops and of the
Afridis and FUzzywuzzies at the
cowardice of Tommy Atkins. I am
myself congenitally timid, but as
vegetarian can generally conceal
my tremors; whereas in my unre-
generate days, when ate my fellow
creatures, l was as patent coward
as Peter the Great. The recent
spread of fire eating fiction and lingo
war worship-a sort of thing that
only interests the pusillanimous-is
due to the spread of meat eating.
Compare the Tipperary peasant of
the potatoes and buttermilk days
with the modern gentleman who
gorges himself with murdered COW.
The Tipperary man never read
bloody minded novels or oheered pa
triotio music hall tableaux, but he
fought reoklessly and wantonly.

ANOTHER FIGHT
is PROMISED
MAXWELL AND YOUNG PLUTO
MAY MIX THINGS.
Excelsior and Western Athletic Clubs
Both Bidding for the GO, and
Good Sport Is Probable.

Lovers of f1stics are to have another op-
portunity to lay their good money for or
against Sammy Maxwell If Gus Herget,
Maxweil's manager, accepts either of Lie
propositions that are now offering. Since
Maxwells clever defeat of Jimmy Lawlor
he has been good deal in the sporting
eye, and his manager and admirers have
been casting about for suitable contest.
Young Pluto, the Australian feather
weight who has recently returned from a
gold hunting expedition in the Klondike,
has been picked as the most likely man
for an even money go, and the prelim-
mary arrangements with him are practi-
cally completed. All that remains is the
acceptance of one of the two offers that
have been made by the Excelsior and
Western Athletic clubs. Both organiza-
tons have signified their desire to pull
off the fight, but as yet have stated no
definite terms. 1t is expected that in
day or so this will have been done, as
both clubs are in daily communication
with Herget and MaXwell's hackers.
Young Pluto is pretty well known In
San Francisco sporting circles a clever
man. He has in the past fought six draws
with young Critic, the last one being
75-round go, that was called on account
of daybreak or some other sufficient rea-
son. He further established his reputa-
ton by doing an eleven-round draw
with Jack MCGOWAN, the feather
weight champion of the Antipodes

dixie on hunt for quick money A def
mite announcement is looked for during

CHAPLAIN 7. K,
FREEMAN TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE
Suicided in Japanese
Waters.
WAS DESPONDENT AND ILL
HIS WIFE WAS TOO LATE TO
MEET HIM.
The Chaplain of the Baltimore,
Broken Down in Health, Jumps
Overheard From the
zealandia.
WAS DEsPoNDENT AND ILL
HIS WIFE WAS TOO LATE TO
MEET HIM.

The latest advices from Japan bring
the story of the sad ending of Thaddeus
Freeman. the chaplain of the Baltimore,
who committed suicide in the harbor Of
Nagasah
Just before the war broke out Freeman
was a chaplain at the Mare Island Navy
yard. He enlisted in the service without
q thought of the horrors of war, but was
assigned to active duty on the Baltimore.
Soon after the memorable engagement of
Manila Bay Freeman's health began to
fail and he grew steadily worse. About
a month ago he was condemned and was
taken on board the Zealandia to be sent
home.
The trip of the Zealandia was a stormy
one. In her course to Yokohama she met
with heavy typhoons that damaged her
so severely that 1t was necessary to put
in at Nagasah for repairs.
Freeman, though he seemed to recover
his physical health somewhat, gave way
TO a profound mental depression in Nag
asak4 He was suffering from nervous
prOstratiOn and at times was in most
serious condition. One morning the
passengers on the Zealandia were arOus-
ed by the cry of Man overheard, and
before assistance could be brought to the
drowning man he had sank from sight.
The crew say that Freeman deliberately
cast himself overheard and that 1t was
not accidental drowning. as was first re-
ported.
When the reports of the chaplain's i'll
health first reached this country MS Wl1e
left her home in the East to meet her
husband at Yokohama. She arrived
there just in time to hear of his demise,
but the news she received was that he
had met death by accidental drowning.
She was heart broken and desolate and
was about to set out for Nagasaki at
once when word from the Government Of
ficials reached her there. She was in
formed that the body nad been found and
that it would be sent to this country at
once. Mrs. Freeman was advised by
friends to return TO America immedi-
ately which she did, and the fact of
suicide was kept from her. Mrs
Freeman arrived in this city on the
Gaelic last Friday and left at once for
her home in the East.
Thaddeus S. K. Freeman received his
commission as chaplain in the navy on
June l. 1897, and was assigned to duty on
the Baltimore October 16 of the same
year. His remains will be brought over
on the next steamer. He was young
man and his wife is barely 20.

Victims Of the House Breakers Must

The enterprising frugal burglar is still

way In the same old fruitful preserves a.

streets.
A few days ago the attention of the
public was called to the fact that within
thirty days these flats had been robbed
five times; that on one occasion wagon
load of personal property had been re-
moved during a bright night, and the
guardian of the peace never knew that
the earnest thief was attending TO bust
ness. He was, and that is more than can
be said of the gentleman of helmet and
club.
While these housebreakers were de-
spelling the defenseless taxpayer pracu-
caIly within the shadow of the dome of

who order events in the Police Depart

onous raids that were going on and were

and a good field upon which to work.
The strange part of the proposition Is
that from the nrSI tne excuse VI INC 10

The occupants of this particular row Of

ton to employ private detective from
one of the responsible agencies to not
only protect their property but bring the
criminals to Justice. This idea was the
result of another descent of the thieves,
in which they cleaned out all the larders
