the town was burned to keep it
from falling into the hands of

teresting as it must be to the
lover of early Texas history, is
not the only point of historical
interest on Peach Point planta-
ton, for here in the little church
yard dedicated as the last resting
place - the Perry and Bryan
fam les, repose the remains of
Stel EN- +. Austin. This grave
is I. marked, save by modest
marble slab placed over it by the
hands of affectionate kinspeople.
Yet Stephen f. Austin died on
the 21ta day of December, 1886,
more than half a century ago. He
died as he had lived, in the SER
vice of Texas, and filling one of
the most important Offices of the
republic.
"Would it not be appropriate to
remove the ashes of Stephen F.
Austin to the capital of the state
and erect suitable monument
over them? 1t was his indomit-
able energy and his wise counsel
and material aid to the early set
tiers of Texas that made the VIC
tory of San Jacinto possible.
Then is it not Il pity that his
ashes should be allowed to rest in
an obscu country graveyard,
neglected by the great state which
owes its present proud existence
more to his influence, integrity
and energy than to that of any
man living or dead?"

Game Preserve.

A movement is now on foot
among the lovers of field sports
in Bexar county, as we'll as many
public spirited citizens who are
desirious of adding to the attrac-
tiveness Of San Antonio, to
acquire what is known as the
Mitchell Lake pr property, about
seven miles from San Antonio,
for the purpose of converting it
into game preserve. 1t may
not be generally known that with
in an hours drive of San Antonio
lies one of the finest shooting
grounds in the Uuited States. 1t
has been frequently said by
sportsmen, who have shot over
some of the most famous resorts
for water fowl in the United
States, that Mitchell's Lake sur
passes them all; that it seems to
possess a great attraction for
wild fowl; that whenever water
there is sufficient wild fowl are
abundant, and that more ducks
can be shot there in an hour than
any point on the coast in day.
The lake covers from 1900 to
2O0O acres and there is better
shooting on it with 100 men sta
toned about than with five. 1t
requires, when the lake is full,
anywhere from fifty to one hun
dred men to keep the shooting at
its best and to keep the biz $ on
. the wing.
Efforts have been made at diff

to Brazoria county. Conversing
with a newspaper man he said
"About seven miles above the
town of Velasco, on the west
bank of the Brazo5 river, in Bra
zoria county, is situated the old
Peach Point plantation.
This old plantation is an in
teresting relic of the colonial his
tory of Texas and was noted
place duling the days of the re-
public. Following the advice of
Stephen f. Austin, James F.
Perry, who had married Aujtin's
only sister, removed from Mis-
souri, to Texas, stopping fist on
Pleasant bayou, south of where
Alvin is now located, and in De-
cember, 1882, settled at Peach
Point.
The plantation derives its
name from the fact that there is
a ridge or slight elevation of land
running through it which was
originally almost entirely timber
ed by wild peach, which is a
growth of timber peculiar to the
best lands on the lower Brazos
bottoms.
"Austin, ever mindful of those
near and dear to him, an | believ-
ing that there would eventually
be large city built at the mouth
of the Brazos, selected this place
rs the one most advantageous in
his estimation of any known to
hirs in Texas, and induced his
brother-in-law to settle on it, that
the children of Mrs. Perry by a
former marriage, Moses A. Bryan,
Joel Bryan and Guy M. Bryan,
might have the best chance pos
sible for him to give them to adj
vance n life.
"lhe first house built by Mr.
Perry was constructed of hewr
puncheons, with clapboard ROOT
and "stick and dirt" chimney
The family was on the grouno
and waited while this crude domi
cile was being constructed. After
ward a hewn log house of gener
GUS dimensions was built, and i

when Adam was an Oakum boy in

that tonnage of ordinary ships runs up

very little more time and trouble TO

of this port divided amongst a few
men at the same old rate would be a
veritable bonanza. The suggestions I
offer today are IN the interests of the
shipping. and il may be said that the
salary offered the pilots is too low.

HOOP IRON.
Used in Hawaii in the Industrial

Inspector-Generalo of Schools, Town
send in his closing remarks at the
Summer School last evening alluded tc
the industrial school established for
native boys in Hilo by Rev. D. B. Ly-
man in 1886. He said that in looking
over the old books of accounts Of that
date, he noticed that charges were re-
peatedly made for the purchase OF
''hoop-iron," and he did not know what
use was made of it.
This is the explanation: 1t was used
by the native for AIDES, for cutting
wood, and in digging. Steel was scarce
and costly Hoop-iron took its place
A wooden adze was made, and piece
of iron hoop was fastened to it, with
cords, tightly wound. 1t was by no
means a sharp instrument, but was
useful The natives used it for this
purpose, since the visit of Capt. Cook
who had presented to the chiefs pieces
of iron, which were quickly substituted
for stone by the natives, and were
used in the remote districts up to a
recent date.

A ENGINEER.

Perhaps the youngest locomotive en-
gineer is Hugh Gibson Richards, aged
3 years, the grandson of the manager
of the Thornburgh hotel, and whose
father is F. II. Richards, travelling au-
ditor for the hotel company. The grand
father is an old railroad engineer and
is very proud Of the youngster, Buster
Richards as he calls him. This young
man can answer more questions cor
rectly in the catechism of a locomotive
and lines of railroads than the majority
of grown persons.
His mother took a picture OF hi last
summer in Brownie" overalls in the
act Of oiling around. This picture has
been sent for by papers all over the
United States, and has appeared in the
New York Herald, Chicago Journal,
Cincinnati Enquirer, Kansas City Star,
Locomotive Engineering Magazine and
Firemen Magazine and notices Of the
picture have been written in many 9TH
