MORRO AS A FORTS NAME,
Used When the Fort Projects from
Height as Do Al Negroes Lips.
(NnW York Snr

'+Ntn lOIh Gull.)
The word MORO, as applied TO the forts
IN cuba, has confused many persons who
We're surprised TO learn Of the existence
OF several Of them with this name. The
word IS one little used by Cubans. It's use
on the island is confined almost exclusive
~ to the Spaniards. In the dictionary
moro is defined as anything that is
round, or "a prominent overhanging lip"
The Spaniards always describe a negro
mouth as MORO" from the projecting
lips. The word is also applied to a cat,
but in this sense It is taken to refer to
the purring of the animal.
When applied to the castles or for
tresses in Cuba the word IS to be taken
in the same significance it possesses when
applied to negro's mouth. These de-
fences are usually perched on heights,
over which they project just as protruding
lips do. The word IS always spelled with
two rs The word moro is said TO mean
moorish, belonging to the Moors." In
jocular style 1t is applied to wine not
mixed with water. II also means as a
noun a Moor or native OF Africa. It is
also used in Cuba to designate a particu-
lar kind Of horse collar.

SOME FLOWER NAMES.
Words That Serve to show the Haunt
or the Characteristic of the Plant.

In the June st. Nicholas there is an ar
icle on Flower Names" by Ella F. Mos
5y. The author says:
There is many a flowers name that
gives US a quaint bit of history or folk
lore, or flashes upon us a charming
glimpse of its haunts and associates.
SaMfrage. for instance, or stone-breaker,
brings up wildly picture OF the places
The gray clefts or crevices in the rocks
where we find its modest white flower.
Rosemary. named from the Latin words
meaning dew or spray of sea, tells US of
the salt sea marshes sprinkled with the
pale purple blooms. Most of our authori
ties derive the marigold from "Mary's
gold" and il Is so named in a herbal.
or book about plants, of the sixteenth
century.
Other names give some striking charac-
teristic of the plant itself, as phlox. signi-
flying fame, from its glowing mass of
color; and the anemone is the wind
flower, swaying, dancing, bending at

The directors of the cotton exchange al
called meeting passed the following reso-
LUTON, which was introduced by Acting
Mayor Skinner:
Resolver. That the Galveston cotton ex-
change looks forward with deep interest
to the building of the Galveston, Brazos
and Southwestern railroad. The territory
through which the railroad will pass is OF
great agricultural resources and ia, in our
judgment, the most promising and richest
section of the State now traversei by
transportation lines. The opportunities
for large local and through traffic are en-
cellent and the road should be one of the
most important feeders to the commerce
of Galveston and profitable property for
the investor.

ed by Vice Pres dent Robert Bornefeld ard

ternoon, when 1lllebach returned TO his
place from town, Tdllebach sent John A.
Hoeffle, an employee, 10 drive Filhol away
from what he considered his preserves, but
Hoeffle says he stopped on seeing Filhol
go to IL little island and get a revolver.
At this juncture TNllebach. approached
Filhol and shot him with a combination
shotgun- rifle. A charge OF bird shot took
effect in the left side OF the face and
body.
Tillebach surrendered to the officers and
