THE TEXAS FEDERATION
OF Women's Clubs-Meeting at Dali
las October Is.

| The board of directors of the Texa
| Federation of WOmen's clubs met al
| Dallas October 18th and 10Th, Miss
Eleanor Breckenridge presiding. The
reports received from the chairmen o.
the committees were most interesting
and encouraging.
Mrs. Osburne, chairman of the COM
mittee on lectures, has the promise Of
several we'll known lecturers, whose
prices are usually beyond the reach OF
the small clubs, to appear under the
aus pices of the federation at rates go
low as to make it possible for every
club in the state to secure their SER
vices.
Mrs. Kimball, one of the few artists
Texas and chairman of the commit
tee on art, made helpful suggestions as
visit any club interested in the subject,
not as lecturer, but as a friend of all
who are working for the advancement,
or, as she puts 1t, the birth of an inter-
est in art in the state of Texas, and her
conversation is both delightful and in
spring.
The chairman of the library commit
tee reported, among other things,
that in many cities and villages in the
state, the dog-tax is given to the public
library, q suggestion which the ladies
of our library might follow up.
Miss Breckenridge had the pleasure
of attending the meeting of the club
presidents in Philadelphia last sum mer,
and said that Texas was twice cheered
at this meeting for the wonderful pro-
gress the state is making, especially in
the establishment Of libraries. She also
said that these women seemed to have
just discovered Texas.
The date set for the meeting of the
federation at San Antonio ia April Is.
10 and 20, of next year, and those who
attend will be more than repaid, as the
program promises to be excellent AS
the meeting will be held the week be-
fore the battle of flowers, those attend
ing may take advantage of the low
rates which the railroads will doubt
less grant.

Hger Wan Week of the G. 81. Wednes

noon in their private car hauled by en-
CINE No. 73O from Del Rio.
Heretofore" continued Mr.. Van
Week, .'the Limiteds have been put on
about Nov. but this year the qusran.
tine has kept US later than usual.
Neither Mr.. Kruttschnitt nor other Of
fcials have attempted to have this
raised, as we recognize the business OF
IL, even though it badly criDples our
passenger traffic ont of New Orleans.
In spite of these temporary disadvan-
tages the.Crescent City. will continue to
be our principal eastern terminus, and
not Galveston where it Is true immense
termiDsl and dock facilities are being
completed by G. P. Huntington.
As an instance of the strict quaran-
erai Manager Julius Kruttschnitt of
the S. p, who passed through here
some time since in his special car, tax
ing his mother and sister home, and
who intended coming back this way,
could not come across the state line
and has had to return to San Francisco
By way of Chicago.
ssWben we do put on our through
fast trains" continued Mr.. Van
Vlect, 1.-The roadbed will be in ex-
ceilent shape for making fast time. We
have had steel gangs at work all year
laying 75-pound rails replacing the old
5O-pound rails, and there are still 200
men At work laying to miles a week,
Who will work until the end of the
year.
s'The old SO pound rails taken up
are of steel and still in good shape, and
We are using then on some 250 miles of
branch lines we are building in east
efn Texas. 1t is peculiar fact. by
tho way, that railroad company with
iron rails on its hands has a good in
vessment, because this old scrap iron
brings more per ton than it cost them
new originally.
There is some hitch in the change
to Alpine as q division point just at
present, because of delay In getting the
land required. This is strip mile
long and a quarter of mile wide along
ths track, embracing about 120 acres.
Il 10 now state land, and the citizens
vhO agreed to give it to the company
have not yet acquired title. When
this is done, changes will begin to be
made, and terminals built. There Is
no Likelihood of the division superinten-|
dents Office being moved from Ell
Paso, though there will necessarily be
adispstcher at Alpine.
''My trip this time, although nomi-
nAIly one of inspection, is in measure
alec 3 vacation. The regular an
nuai inspection when prizes are award
ed the best divisions does not occur
until May. l am much pleased with
the general condition of the road.'

ed to buy the place. Mr.. Gates ap-
peared with a sheriff, and Jester was
placed under arrest. 1t was then that
Gates watch, q ring the father had
given him, bowie knife and an ante
lOpe skin waist-coat were found in the
possession of Jester.
ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
The prisoner was taken to this city,
but the indignation of the people was
so intense that the sheriff secretly
took him to Mexico, Mo-, to avoid q
lynching party. Jester remained in
Jail for six weeks, then dug tunnel
and escaped. Since then he has been
living under the shadow of an indict-
ment for murder which he is now about
to face in the courts.
The case and the man had been al
most forgotten except by the members
of the Gates family and by the guilty
man himself. His whereabouts was
disclosed in a letter sent to the sheriff
of Sedgwick county last June by Jes-
ter's half-sister, Cornelia Street, and
his arrest followed quickly. The let
ter reads:
II wish to make q statement to you
in regard to my brother, whose name
is Alexander Jester. who was arrested
near Valley Center, Kan, in the year
for his team, watch and clothing. The
murder was committed in Missouri,
near Warrensbure. My brother was
arrested for numbering this young
man and L know of my own personal
know edge that he is guilty of the
charge. He was given q preliminary
hearing in Wichita and was sent to
Missouri near where the crime was
committed and broke Jail.
"He is my own brother, but | want
him punished for that crime. hope
you can and will find on the dockets
his preliminary hearing and will noti-
fly the officers of the county where the
murder was committed. My brother
is living here in Shawnee, o T., and

THE JUAREZ JUDGE
Has rendered His Resignation

It has been given out at Juarez that
Francisco Dominguez, the judge of
letters, has rendered his resignation
and that the same has been accepted
and his successor will he appointed in
a short time.
1t Is not thought that the Rich case
had anything to do with the
resignation. sOn the contrary
it ia reported that Judge Dominguez
resigns simply to be able to give more
attention to his private affairs.

TO MAKE CONNECTIONS.
The Santa fe Has Finally De-
cided To Have Its Passenger
Edstbound Leave Here At
Night-ConneCt At La Juntd
NTH Through TrdinS-MexiCdn
Central To Change.

Is is learned that, after a series of
has finally decided on it's new time
out of Ell Paso. Toe desire of the Of
6ctal in making the proposed change 8
was both to make the train out OF Ell
Paso connect with the Chicsgo-Los
Angeles through trains at La Junta,
and also to make connection here with
the Mexican Central.
The fir-t proposition was that the
Mexican Cen should get ts incom-
ing tr sin Ia here as early as O'Clock
In s. afternoon, and.if this were done
the Santa Fe train leaving Ell Psso at
O'Clock would make La Hunta the
next mo ming In time to connect with
the t,-ough l. mited to Chicago from
trail rep ID that it would be impossi BILE
for tben to get in at O'Clock, but
offered to submit fo- the approval of
the Mexican government new time
card, and this, If approved, would put
them in here at o'clock.
The Santa Fe found this inexpedient
and unavoidable. and it was practical
~ decided to leave the time unchapg
ed until the first of the year, changing
only the time of the outgoing freight,
when new scheme was evolved, and
Il was decided That, by sending the
west bound out of mere at $50 p. NJ,
connection could be made with No.
through from Denver to Chicago at Is
Junta the next dav at noon.
The Mexican Central, it is under
stood, has signifed it's intention of sub
uniting to it's government a time-card
which brings them il here at 5:10 local
time, $40 their time, and which
schedules the outgoing train to leave at
u:40 q. m. This will undoubtedly be
approved by the Mexican government,
.od will, if finally decided on by the
railway, take effect on Nov. 10. This
agrees with the Southern Psci6c's
new time, with which it fits in nicely.
The Santa Fe time-card is being COM
pleted in Topeka today, and will be re-
eefved here probably on Saturday. The
Mexican Central and Southern Pacific
change on Sunday. On the Santa Fe
the time of 334. outgoing freight, will

The mortality among the Rrazilians who

The voyage of the Wilmington up the
Amazon attracted much more attention in
South America than Ii did at home When
the United States Government decided to
send that queer-looking cruiser into the
heart OF Brazil there were formalities to be
arranged different from those for the cruise
of the Nashville up the Mississippi. The
federal government of the United States
of Brazil was asked to permit the voyage,
and in due course acceded to the request.

the individual. People don't even know
the peculiarities of voice, gesture, and man
ner, by countless repititions until they be-
come fixed as unconscious habits.
The innumerable combinations of let
ters and strokes give such a variety that
duplication of any quantity OF one persons
writing by another is impossible, and the
comparison of handwriting has been re-
duced TO almost mathematical certainty.
If two pieces of writing are to be compar-
ed, the genuine piece is first closely ex-
amined by the expert for peculiarities or
characteristics. Every point is noted, size,
slant, speed, spacing, movement, relation
OF letters, parts of letters, and words. Then
the disputed handwriting is examined, and
if the same characteristics are noted, there
is no doubt that one person wrote both
pieces.
"A forger cannot avoid that of which he
has no knowledge-he does not step around
that which he does not see. There are four
things which are impossible to the forger-
to know all the characteristics of the hand
he wishes to simulate: to be able accurate
ly to reproduce them il he should see them;
TO know all the characteristics OF his own
hand, and TO sink his own individuality
and drop the characteristics of his own
hand at will. In spite of skill, conception,
and practice he will fail to see all OF the
characteristics or the. ndDQ ne is lInlJdllnSs
he will not reproduce all that he sees, and,
In addition, is sure to infuse some OF hH
own characteristics into the forgery. In
writing single name the forger often be-
trays himself.
Pictorial effect will deceive anybody. A
forgery is bound tc look like the original,
and those who judge writing by pictorial
effect cannot avoid being deceived. But
comparison on the lines | have mentioned
will reveal any forgery. Ii is infallible.
No stronger proof that handwriting is en-
tirely an unconscious product, produced
without any reflex action. can be given
than the fact that in cases of double con-
seriousness the writing retains its normal
character. I tested this once by having
man write a line, and later, while in a
hypnotic state, write the same line over
again The writing was precisely the same
down to the smallest characteristics.
In recent years the work of handwriting
experts has done so much to explode great
frauds and to bring swindlers TO halt that
l cannot understand why our deductions
are not more generally accepted as accu-
rate. However, it takes time to convince
people but l don't think 1t will be long be-
fore the public will believe that what a
complete expert says about specimens of
handwriting he has carefully examined is
true, no matter how much hangs on his de-
