Former Governor Hogg has is

Texas relative to railroad consoli-

twelve reasons his opposition to
same. The ex-governor says it
Will violate the state constitution.
Violate the law forbidding rail
ways constructing or owning any
branch line at a less angle than
twenty-five degrees with general
direction of main line.
Will force short lines with light
debts to pay excessive debts of
absorbing trunk lines, enforcing
high traffic rates.
Will take from several points
headquarters, machine shops etc,
and concentrate them at main
line points or out of state.
Prevent competition for inter
state traffic at common as we'll as
other points.
win minimize, strike down and
practically destroy gulf ports.
Will make a truck patch out Of
Texas instead of building her up.
Will drive from state small fac
tories now growing and keep 9TH
ers out.
Will foster monopolies and also
trusts and destroy individual eff
fort.
Will build up a central corpor-
ate power which will become too
strong in commerce and politics
to be controlled by the state.
1t may fasten upon the people
the present fictitious Indebtedness
of the railways, which amounts
to more than 5000, 100000, that is
as dishonest and unjust as any
forged order for making which
any felon was ever sent to the

Robe of Gold.
New York Times. st. Peters Ro-
man Catholic church was crowded on
Sunday evening with members OF the
Syrian colony and Americans who had
been invited to witness the wedding
of Miss Shafika Lutfy to Elias Mack
soud, both of whom were born in the
Christian city of Zahle, Syria, which
was the scene of great fight during
the Christian massaeres in the COS.
Nearly all the members of the Lutfy
and Macksoud families are now in the
United States, preferring to live under
the stars and stripes to remaining I'M
der the banner and crescent. The
bride is the daughter of Abdow Lutfy,
the senior partner of the firm of Lutfy
& Macksoud, importers of oriental
goods, and the bridegroom is the jun
ior partner. They both belong to the
Greek Catholic church. While the
guests waited in the church the bride
was being arrayed for the wedding
ceremony at her fathers house, at Z
Battery place. She was dressed in a
white satin gown and wore long
white veil, with pearl necklace and
diamond pendant. The Rev. Father
Beshwaty, the priest of the Greek
catholic congregation, performed the
ceremony. He wore crown on his
head and long robe of gold cloth that
reached to the ankles, AS the bride
and her father walked up the aisle
they were preceded by little flower
girls and followed by the bridesmaids
and ushers, all carrying lighted can
dies. At the chancel the bridegroom
stepped forward, and the father handed
his daughter over to him. The bride
groom led the bride to the front of the
altar, and the priest began chanting
the marriage service in Arabic. He
asked them If they were willingly en-
tering into the marriage state, and
when they both answered in the af-
tirmative two of the ushers held golden
crowns over their heads, while the
priest took two gold rings from sill
yer tray held by an attendant and
placed them on the fourth fingers of
the left hands of the couple. The GER
emory over, many of the ssuesSts &C
companied the newly married couple
to their home, where feast had been
prepared. M. and Mrs. Macksoud went
to Washington on bridal trip.

M. Berthelot has lately interested
the French Academy of Sciences in
his researches concerning glass mir
rors which were used in ancient times
in Thrace and Egypt. They were
backed with highly polished metal,
the nature of which has been in ques-
ton. M. Berthelot has discovered
that the metal was almost pure lead,
and he believes that the method of
manufacture was to pour the molten
lead on the concave surface of disks
cut from balloons of blown glass. In
consequence of their shape the mir
rors minimized the images of objects
looked at in them

The monogrammed glove is the very
latest thing, and, of course 1t Is worn
only by the extremists of fashion. To
make the monogrammed gloves you
get pair of plain kid gloves, with as
little stitching upon the back as pos
sible. Black and white are the best
colors. Now mark upon the back of
the gloves your monogram, or get it
stamped there. With silk the color
of your walking dress you now en-
broider the monogram, making it
about the size of quarter. You will
find that 1t is very becoming to the
hand, and the custom of wearing the
embroidered glove will grow upon you
until you will want no other,
