THE REMAINS IDENTIFIED.
Man Who WIS Run Into nnd Killed
NIondnN Might.

Nan Who Wns Run Into nnd Killed
Monday Night.
Justice Malsch returned at an early hour
yesterday morning from holding the In
quest over the body OF the man who was
run into and killed by a Southern Pacific
train Monday night while attempting TO
drive across the track near Stella mention
OF which was made in yesterdays Post.
The body was identified as that of John
Winter, young farmer, tenant Oh tho
land of w. ] Settegast, about twelve mics
from the city.
He came TO Houston Monday with load
Of potatoes, which he disposed of and was
returning in the evening with a supply
of groceries and s2475 In cash, which
money was found upon the body. He was
driving spike" team-two mules and a
horse in the lead. He left Houston about
p. IN. on his return home aud reached the
fatal railway crossing near Stella about
1880 y. m. The crossing is In the open and
trains can he seen for great distance
either way. The presumption is that young
Winter miscalculated the distance Of an
approaching train and thought he had
time to clear the crossing in safety.
The wagon was q total wreck. 1t and
The driver were hoisted upon the pilot of
the engine and the debris scattered along
the track distance of $50 yards. One
OF the mules was also killed, but the other
two animals escaped uninjured. The bv1y
OF Winter was badly mangled and death
must have been instantaneous.
Winter was known as a working,
industrious man and was not given to the
habit of drinking.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRADES.
Curious Specimens of Legislation In
Great Britain in the
Oiden Times.

There are many instances Of curious
acts passed in connection with r%estric-
tons on trades and professions, and in
some cases an element of humor enters
INFO them when judged by the stand
ards of to-day. The want of confidence
in lawyers. which rightly or wrongly
is somewhat commonly entertained, is
at least as old as the times of Henry
VI, for an act vas passed in 1461 to re-
duce the number of attorneys in the
eastern counties. The act shows that
there were upward of so such in Nor
folk and Suffolk. and their numbers
were mercilessly reduced to six in Nor
folk. six in Suffolk and two in Norwich.
y statute of Henry VII. N4S9) enacted
that no butcher should slaughter cat
tie in any walled town-a restriction
likewise extended to Cambridge. As
though the gambling of the South sea
bubble period had east its shadow be
fore. an act of 1897 StrOve to limit the
number and restrain the i'll practices
of brokers and stock jobbecs, and after
the disaster of that time another act,

y law, not of restriction but of relief,
was that of l112. eXempting apothe-
carries from serving the offices OF con-
stable. scavenger and other parish du-
ties and from liability of being called
upon TO act on ~juries. ! bill that passed
into law in 1928 provided against jour-
reymen shoemakers pawning boots,
shoes. leather and other materials, and
establishing rules for regulating them.
the matter OF servants certificates of
character is still a burning question,
and al act of 1892 sought to prevent the
fraud Of counterfeiting them. Several
laws passed in England and Scotland
had empowered justices of the peace to
fix the wages and piece work of arti-
ffcers and other workers. and this ar
bitrary power was withdrawn under

According TO statistics published in

among children in Prussia is alarming
~ prevalent. In the ten years between
1887 and 1897. 407 school children I'M

33l being boys and &c girls. Whether
or no; the stringent school system, the
necessity of constant application. and
an almost complete absence of outdoor
exercise has anything to do with this, is

BEFORE THE GATES.

At HeaveS's high gate each mortal told his
story.
And one came WI with gold, and one
with glory.
One said: Il built great temples that arise
With spires that point the pathway to the
skies"
And one: "I scattered gold before my
door
When rose the rage of all the Tablespoon"
And yet another: "On the heights Of
Fame,
Toiling obscure. 1 carved a deathless
name"
And then came one in meek and lowly
guise:
Nor TO the angel did he lift his eyes.
What hast thou done to gain the courts
aboye?"
Nothing" he said: "All tina / knew was
love;
THAT love which was-that love which
is TO be;
And love / gave. and love returned to me-"
Then said the angel: Lift thou up thine
eyes;
Enter the shining gates of Paradi5e,"
