THE AUSTIN CALAMITY.

The breaking of the Austin dam or

day, indicate that the dam has been
considered unsafe by observers, what
ever the engineers who had the great
structure continuously under their
eyes thought, but this fact, If fact it is.
should not prejudice the people of any
city against dams, for OF the hundreds
of dams that stand throughout the
world but very few breaks have
been reported during the century now
closing.
The loss OF life is more to be regret
ted than the mere money loss or the
consequent loss to farmers whose lands
have been flooded by the break at Aus

RUSSELL SAGE is quoted as having
said recently that the time is near
when America will take her place at
the head of the financial atoms of the
world. It's something new in 6nan-
ciering to float British bonds here, -
he continued, 'but we have so much
faith in the credit OF the mother ma
ton that there is almost 10 limit to
the money she could borrow In this
land. Next to our own bonds, in
which l am a great believer, 1 would
have no hesitancy in accepting those
issued by the British government.
All we could get OF the British bond
issue was per cent OF the $50, 600, 900
subscribed for. Now those bonds are
selling today at a premium of per
cent" The people will scarcely
change the administration this year of
grace.

THE Beers NOT INERT.

1t was settled fact some time ago
that Great Britain had no command
Ing officer except Lord Roberts who was
q match for the Boer leaders In cum
ming and strategy, and who could avoid
falling into the traps set by the alert
enemy, and now there is grave doubt
whether Roberts himself is a mate \
for them. The disaster to Col. Broad
wood is reminder of the earlier mis-
haps of Methuen. Gstacre and Butler
and the report that the Beers have
captured several companies who were
fighting right under the eyes of Rob-
erts Is further evidence in the case.
Methuen's achievements cut no figure
in the general proposition and the ques-
tion may well be asked If 1t is a sheer
impossibility for all the British officers
to learn anything from experience.
Incidents last week also show that
the Beers are by no means discouraged
aud inert. President Kruger's threat
TO close in on Bloem fontein and re-
capture it may be fulfilled, unless Gen.
Roberts puts forth his best endeavors
TO prevent it. AT any rate 1t seems
certain that be will not have anything
like a walk over to Pretoria. but will
have to fight for every foot of the
ground.
The Importance of these movements
and of the blow inflicted upon Col.
Broad woods forces lies in the demon
stratlon that the Beers have no idea
of giving up the fight. Their spirit is
not at all broken, and they have de-

AN Oklahoma man has filed suit
against 1.-THE grand lodge of the An
Client Order of United Workmen CT
Oklahoma and the local lodge of that
order for damages in the sum OF $40
600. He lately was initiated into the
lodge and alleges that. in undergoing
the ceremony, he was severely
bruised and battered and received at
the hands OF defendants such rough
and violent treatment that thereby th
bones of his spine, shoulder and neck
were fractured, crushed, bruised and
dislocated, whereby plaintiff was grest-
ly injured and caused to suffer ex-
circulating pains in both mind and
body, and because thereof was COM
PEELED for many weeks to lie helpless
upon his bed and was unable to turn
over, raise his head or move his body
In any way whatever" What ire
mendous amount OF fun there was in
the lodge room when this man was
initiated, How the ancients must have
rosred when the bones of the candi-
dates neck were dislocated. The
very goat must have smiled and
stroked his cotton whiskers when the
poor fellows shoulder was crushed.
The whole performance was undoubt-
ly intensely funny-to every body but
the candidate.

Abe MuIkey.

EDITOR HERALD. ABB Mulkey
the revivalest, has come and gene.
The week of his labors in Ell Paso has
produc more than ripple on the
calm sea of this religious community
Mr.. Mulkey is one of those magnetic
beings who would make himself f 1t
among his fellows in any field of action,
for nothing is more contagious than
sincerity, earnestness aud enthusiasm
three qualities which he possesses to
an eminent degree.
To call this man mere Gospel
howler", rs | heard one characterize
him, is as false as it is unjust; for few
men ever stood before q congregation,
to preach religion, with a broader ex-
perience of human life, q wider know
ledge OF human nature or keener
common sense than A be Mulkey: and
fewer, still, who have wit and dramatic
force enough, to apply these laten t
powers to the work OF moving re-
ligOus assembly, without irreverance
and without cant.
The Bishop OF London once aske d
Garrick why II was that actors, in
representing mere fiction, moved an
assembly even to tears, while minis
tiers of the Gospel, Ia representing the
most solemn realities, could scarcely
obtain hearing. The observaut
Garr.ck well replied: 1T is because we
represent fiction as reality, aLd you
present reality as felton,.
L don't pretend to know much about
these things which pass under the
general term OF religious work. not
being church mem Der, but since we
have schools to educate the mind, and
public sentiment and the home, to
the conscience, what is left
more important for the present-day-
preacher to do, than move his audience
to actions that are in accord with this
general culture and public conscience?

PLANTING FACTORY SEED.

| While in Galveston rece ntly C. P.
Hunting ton told story with point to
It. He Was discussing the matter OF
industrial enterprise and sugg esting
| that Texas should get away from the
| practice of shipping her raw products
to distant localities to be manufactur.
ed and sent back here to be sold in
their finished form.
Mr.. Huntington said he could see no
good reason why the raw material pro-
duced in Texas should not be man
ufactured in Texas. The gentlemen
with whom he was conversing could
offer no plausible excuse for the ab-
sence of industrial enterprise In q
state which can boast the greatest and
most varied resources, the finest
climate and the most attractive ma
tural advantages. There had been
some experiments and these had turn
ed out we'll, but the people general
ly, while recognizing the need for
factories, had made little effort to
secure them.
THAT reminds me of an incident in
LII
ington. as reported in the San Antonio
Express. 81 had occasion to stop In a
country town 10 Pennsylvania for some
weeks. There was no tavern, but in
stead there were several houses where
the traveller could find lodging and
board. These sll had gardens or farms
attached. At the time l mention Gu
clm bers were in season and the tables
OF all boarding houses save that at
which | stopped were abundantly sup
piled with vegetables. The boarders at
our house were possessed of fondness
for cueumb ers and made their wants
known TO the landlord. L am very
sorry said he, that" we have no Gu
cum bers. 1t seems strange that all
my neigh bors should have cucumber |
and that we should have none. l don't !
understand it, and I am very sorry |
He continued to make profuse apollo |
gies and to express wonder that no Gu
length his little son interrupted, saying, |
'Pa, L know why you don't raise any |
cucumbers. It's cause you don't plant
any cucumber seed"
Mr.. Hunting tons stay in the state
was not sufficiently prolonged, perhaps.
TO enable him to appreciate the extent
10 which factory seed are now being
planted in Texas. Like. the Penn
'ylvania man who wanted cucum bers,
out never thought of trying to grow
hem, Texas communities are begin
ng to realize that in order to have
actories all that is required for them
do is to put their heads together,
% down IN their pockets and set the 6
hing agoipg. Texas is beginning to t
rofit by the example of older cotton t
tates and to understand that II they {
an successfully grow cotton mills |
here Is no reason why she should not
D 60. And the idea is spreading with
reat rapidity. More than a dozen =
otton mill enterprises are now under
ay In different localities in the state
nd the prospects are that before the
nd OF the present year there will be
,veral cotton mills In operation in
exss.
The idea has been somewhat slow in Y
king root, but It is better late than
ever. r
