legislation. I believe that if it was
adopted by all the states of the Amer!-
can union, and some federal jud Re
doesn't do some legislating on the
bench, that the days of the trusts in
this country are numbered.
81 have been talking today with some
local insurance people who claim that
the bill in its present shape would
have the effect of running all the in
surance companies out of the state, and
that the purpose of the bill, 80 far as it
relates to insurance companies and
protects the interests of the people of
Texas, could be as we'll subserved by
amending the affidavit in the bill to
read sin the state of Texas" the effect
of which would be that these compa-
mics are not in collision with any per-
son or corporation for the purpose of
maintaining rates in this state and
would leave them free, so far as other
states are concerned.
Il don't know what the views of the
gentlemen who introduced this bill
with me are on the subject of this
change in the law, but I have agreed
to consult them.
$50 far as 1 have heard it discussed
among the senators since It's introduce
ton, the first impression of the
majority of them seems to be very
much in favor of the bill, and there is
an overwhelming consensus of opinion
among all those that 1 have heard
from upon the subject that it is really
the only bill which Is an effective anti
trnat law .,

SENATOR MILLER'S STATEMENT.
A great many Texas people believe
the bill as introduced at Austin ia very
stringent, For this reason Ex-senator
Phil Barry Miller, one of the intro
ducers, has made this statement on the
subject.
Il joined senator DAVIDSON and Sem
ator Morris, who procured this bill
from Arkansas, in its Introduction, be-
cause l am in favor of any law that will
suppress the trusts. 1 made this the
principal feature of my campaign for
the state senate. 1 promised the pco-
pie then that 1 would vote for any law
that thought could pass the jinterven-
ton OF the federal courts, which would
tend to destroy trusts, as 1 believed, in
company 1 think with the vast major
lty OF the democratic party, that the
salvation OF the masses of the Amer
lean people depends upon the suppress
sion OF this modern iniquity. And
while recognize that, this bill is very
drastic, it was drawn by master hand,
and Is the only bill 1 ever saw upon the
subject that, in my judgment, will abb
solutely reach the purpose contem plat.

of April H. 1899, when the shooting
occurred. Wells was In the saloon also
and Carlton came in while he was
there. Wells asked both of US to
drink, which we did. and I then turned
my attention to some other customers.
"a dispute arose then about some
thing and Wells being the aggressor
Carlton walked down to where 1 was
standing at the bar and said he did not
want to have any trouble with that
man, referring to Wells. We stood
there talking for few minutes when
Wells walked to where we were and
told Carlton he was a sharp guy
and that he would kill him. Suiting
the actions to the words he Immediate
~ pulled his gun, cooked it, and placed
it against Cartoons breast. 1 knocked
the pistol to one side and Carlton pick

but missed him. Carlton then walked
back into my dining room and someone
took Wells out of the saloon. He scon
came back, however. and led him out
OF the saloon by the arm and told him
he was in no condition to have any
trouble and that he had better go away
quietly. Wells agreed with me and
said he would go away.
81 went back into the saloon and
began waiting on customers, and the
next thing 1 saw was Wells standing
at the bar disputing with Carlton.
II went down to prevent any trouble
and saw Wells make an attempt to pull
his gun. / went around the end of the
bar to try to get his gun away from
him but ne took it out and fired once
shooting at Carlton through the bar as
Carlton had lodged down behind it.
Carlton then raised up and Wells fir
ed again. 1 then saw Car lton had q
gun and ran from between them and
behind the bar. The two men then
began shooting at each other and
after these shots Wells went but
of the door and Carlton went back
through my dining room and bed
room 10 the front door. 1 then found
that Wells had been shot in the right
lung.
Carlton got the pistol he used from
off the bar after Wells had fred his
first and second shots. Wells had his
gun on his person and 1 saw it twice
during the evening, once when the
shooting was done and once before that
when 1 tried to take his pistol away
before.

easing Carlton entirely, but the latter

A FRENCH scientist, Gilbert by
name, has pronounced the doom of the
city Of Chicago. In five hundred
years, says he, the water OF Lake
Michigan will have submerged the
City of Destiny. NJ. Gilbert has been
investigating the question of water
levels in the lakes and he has made
the startling discovery that
the shores are sinking in some
places and rising in others.
The village of Ontario on Lake
Ontario is gradually sinking, while
Hamilton is rising higher and higher
above the level of the lake. Lakes
Ontario, Huron and Michigan are said
to be affected by this ominous earth
change. In the Georgian Bay the
water level is falling at a considerable
rate, while a5 Milwaukee and Chicago
1t Is rising. Chicago will at last have
a chance to flush the Chicago river.

FOREIGN scientists are indulging in
considerable speculation these days OF
a sort that in olden times might have
changed the course of the worlds his
tory by working OF the c~redulity OF
the multitude. Following upon the
Frenchman's prediction of Chicago's
doom comes the declaration of Rudolf
Falb, a Vienna astronomer that the
end of the world is due at 1903 p.
M. November Is, 1899. He has
made a strictly mathematical calculs-
tion and there can be no mistake. The
end of all will be caused by a new pla-
net breaking away from the sun and
creating ar explosion that will serious
ly damage the whole universe and GER
tainly put an end to all animal life On
the surface of this little earth of ours.
It will be an interesting week, with

THE value of Sunday as a day of rest
was expressed by Mscaulay thus: "We
are not poorer, but richer, because we
have for many ages, rested one day In
seven. That day is not lost. While
industry is suspended, while the ex-
change Is silent, while no smoke rises
from the factory, a process is going on
as in portant to the wealth of the ma
tion as any process which is performed
on more busy days. Man, the machine
of machines, is repairing and winding
up SO that he returns to his labors with
clearer intellect, with l~ivelier spirits
and with renewed corporal vigor."

1T vas a French philosopher who
said that "a multitude of laws in q
country is like a great number of
physicians, a sign of weakness and
malady." In u country both state and
nation shave constitutional provisions
against special legislation. Yet, a
large proportion of the laws passed
were lever e by their trainers
and enactors to be liter
ally and consistently enforced. No
law should be put on the statute books
that cannot be thus enforced, and those
uncomfortable laws already on
the statute books should be repealed.
If the laws on the statute books are
not enforced, the peace officers of the
com munity should be held responsible
and accountable. If these officers are
not held accountable, the citizens
have themselves alone to blame.

he was not guilty, nothing less should
be given him. He was dishonOred as
a soldier, and will probably never rest

Washington Post.
The audience at the Columbia theatel
last night was treated to a surprise, AND
the enthusiastic reception Of the sur.
prise was a matter OF qualification tC
the most widely talked of man in the
country. A few minutes after the cur
tain had gone up on the first act OF
three gentlemen entered the playhouse
and walked leisurely TO the lower box
on the left side of the proscenium arch
nearest the stage. They had been seat
ed for several minutes when
some one in the gallery began
to applaud and some one else
cried dewey" Then every one look
Mia, who looked 10 though he had
rather feared some one would recog-
nize him. At once a general hand
clapping ensued, and handkerchiefs
were waved by the women in the au-
dience. Between the first and second
act every opera glass in the audience
was turned upon the Admiral and his
party. He was accompanied by MI.
and Mrs. William Corcoran Hill and
several times to personal acquaint-
auces whom he recognized in the au-
dience.
In the second act Francis Wilson, as
Cyrano, sings a topical song which is a
feature of the evenings performance,
as in it the actor throws all of his man
nerisms that have popularized him up
on the comic opera stage. After half
a dozen o he sang the following:
A little nose will always mark the brain at
zero.
With little minds and deeds 1T always goes
And you will find that every naval hero
Is gifted with extensive wealth of nose.
And after winning distant battles cory,
And making round the world a glorious
way,
The first thing seen, as he returned in glory.
Was his Roman nose as he came up the bay
At the conclusion OF this little plea
santry- the audience almost went wild.
The Admiral ~applauded, and as the ap-
plause from the audience became more
deafening he arose and, looking toward
the singer, bowed slightly and clapped
his hands, laughingly. The entire
company on the stage returned the
compliment, and or q N it was
hard tt tell whether the most applause
came the body of the house or from be-
hind the footlights. At the conclusion
of the act Mr.. Wilson was called before
the curtain for a speech. He said he
was glad to know that nc one else YVES
in it with him that minute.
At the end of the play the admiral
and party went behind the scenes, by
invitation. Picking his way
over the cannon wheels and other prop
the admiral was greeted cordial
ly by the comedian.
''ls this the fret time you have yer
appeared on the stage, admiral?"
Mr.. Wilson.
SIT is,' said the admiral, 1.-THE very
frst, and it is quite a novel experience
for me. l tell you Mr.. Wilson, there
10 one gift you possess that L envy, and
hat is your art of making speeches."
MI. Wilson, la~ughingly, offered to
the admiral a book of them for
'uture use. After a short chat the ad-
shook hands with every member
Of the company and passed out through
he lobby to his carriage, where a
cheered him enthusiastically.

DREYFUS is getting better, and with
his supporters is now questioning
whether it would not be well to work
for his reinstatement in the army even
If he resigns the mex day. France has
pardoned him, but the pardon implies
his guilt, and he Is not content with
pardon but begs for rehabilitation as a
further proof of his innocence. The
pride of a soldier is great and stubborn.
If he be the right kind of a
soldier, nothing less than his former
