the Immortality of animals who held a
contrary opinion until this English cler-
gyman commenced to expound his doc
trines so eloquently. That he should have
met with opposition is only natural, but
at the same time he has had no lack of
support, and one of his most emphatic
apostles is Rev. Charles j. Adams of
Staten Island, n. Y.
1t was only a few years ago that ami
mails were regarded as brutes incapable Of
feeling the joys and sorrows that went to
make up life for that superior animal.
man. Gradually. however, this opinion
has been changed. 1t has been found that
animals possess a remarkable memory. 1t

which we call the body is composed OF
atoms in perpetual fluX, constantly disin-
tegrating, constantly passing away: The
body of childhood is not the body of early
youth Once in a dozen years the whole
atOmical structure of the body is changed.
But the identity OF man remains the same
in spite of all. Memory, will. the inner
consciousness, are all there. We change
the material but mans true self remains.
Death is the final dissolution Of partner
ship between spirit and body. II this ar
gument is sound it applies equally TO man
and beast.
Take another view of life as merely
force. No force can he lost in the uni
verse. What is the relation Of animal
consciousness to the mighty life which
pulses through things temporal and eter-
nal? Why should it cease or come under
the exceptional law Of annihilatiOn?
Again, we believe in Just Cod. Surely
there is some compensation for our dumb
friends for what they suffer here, some
reward for their loyalty, their faithful

otherwise, criminal or honest and these
traits OF character are just as fully estab-
man. The monkey may be a criminal,
with hatred in his soul. To-day, therefore,
the man of practical mind has very diff
ferent opinion Of animals than that which
he held some years ago, and it is far from
impossible, in the light of past events,
that the belief in the Immortality of these
animals should yet become the general
opinion Of the thinking world.

Carefully collected figures show that the
proportion of cavalry to other arms has
been steadily diminishing for q. long pc

the cavalry diminished. Austria. Turkey

A SILKEN BANNER
With The Stars And Stripes
Will be Presented To
Governors Sayers
And Mount.

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 1.-THE cele-
bration of ''ex-Confederate Day" at the
Texas State Fair today was rendered
notable by the participation of Cover
nor Mount of Indiana and his staff and
the commander and Representatives of
the department of Indiana G. A. r.
The Indiana party arrived in the city
by special train late last night, bring
ing with them the flag of Terry's Texas
Rangers, which is to be returned to
the survivors of the troop from which
it was taken by the Seventeenth In
diana regiment of Wilder's Brigade.
The presentation, which will be the
feature Of "Indiana Day" at the state
fair tomorrow, will be accompanied by
interesting ceremonies in which pro-
minent Union and Confederate veter-
ans will have a part. The return of
the battle lag is in accordance with
resolution adopted by the last session
of the Indiana General Assembly.
AS memento of the occasion Gov
each be presented with handsome
silk banner with the Stars and Stripes
at the head. underneath which appears
the pictures of the governor of Texas
and the governor of Indiana, side by
side, with the coat of arms of the two
states and a suitable inscription be-
meath. Governor Mount and staff and
the other members of the party are be-
ing entertained by ex-Iudianians who
are residents Of Texas.

NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Assembling of Officers at the S. p
Depot PURELY CO-InCidental.

Chief of Police Lockart, Capt. Bendy
of the city police, Sheriff Boone and
Capt. Hughes of the rangers aid
three of his men all chanced to be e1
the S. P. depot at the same time this
afternoon, awaiting the belated train
from the west.
Loungers, loafers, ct. al, were agog
with curiosity ss to what it all meant
and several ridiculous rumors were
soon afloat.
Chief Lockart accounted for his pres
encs by explaining that he was going
to Houston on private business.
Capt. Bendy simply walked to the
station with the chief to conclude some
arrangements about business that
would be left in his charge during the
chiefs absence.
Capt. Hughes and his rangers were
going back to their homes, and
Sheriff Boone came to the depot to in
duce the rangers to remain in Ell Paso
another day as Jail guards, trouble be-
ing feared since the death of O'Connor.
So it happened that the assembling
of the officers was purely co-incidental
with no chance for a sensation forth
coming.
Chief Lock hart apoloeized for hav-
ing on his uniform, but exhibited the
fact that he had substituted other but
tons for tt e brass ones. He said it was
the only suit of clothes he had.

DEWEY TALKS ABOUT THE PHILIP
PINES.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Admiral
Dewey, escorted by Commodore Farqu-
har, walked into the navy department
at 10 o'clock without attracting the
slightest notice. He was in civilian
attire and no one recognized him.
He entered Longs Office, where the
secretary had been waiting for him for
half an hour, and the two entered into q
consultation over Philippine affairs,
preliminary to his visit to the White
House. where the president and men,
bers of the cabinet met him and listen
ed to his impressions concerning our
eastern acquisitions.

TRAGEDY RECALLED.
Turquoise Kings Assassin To Be
Tried At Las Cruces.

Jacobo Flores, the man under indict-
the turquoise king of the Jarillas, will
be tried at Las Cruces during the pre-
sent term of court.
The crime for which Flores is to an
swer was committed about eight
mouths ago st De Meules's camp north
of this city in New Mexico and the de-
tails of the shocking tragedy have not
yet been forgotten by citizens.
Flores had been in the employ of
De Meules as laborer for a long time
and it is alleged rendered him i'm
portant services during some Difficult
ties De Mueles had with parties who
laid claim to his property. Jacobo.
it is alleged, demanded some
money which he claimed was due him
in wages from De Mueles, who declined
to pay. A discussion ensued and De
Mueles started to rise from the table
where he was eating breakfast, when
Flores 9 drew pistol and fred,
kill ng him instantly.
The crime was committed in what
was then part of Dona Ana county, and
the prisoner mas been in Las Cruces
jail ever since. There is no provision
in the law for tran sferring such cases
to Alamogordo. and hence although
the alleged crime occurred in what is
now Otero county, the case must be
tried at Las Cruces.
The prisoner will be tried among
those who have known him from birth,
which may perhaps be in his favor.
