A SALT LAKE IN TEXAS
Philadelpiyia Record.

From Cne GHiltueipiHd iNeOofN'
 About 300 miles southwest of Houston, Tex, in Eida1go county, is now claimed 10 be one of the most remarkable salt lakes in the world. This lake, which contains 7SS acres ef pure sat- is. surrounded by a wild fringe of dense thiclkets. The salt is three to four feet deep in crystal form, and the water is a brine of unusual strength, crystallizing with great rapidity.
 But few people outside of the state know of the existence of this lake; in fact, near ly all Texas maps omit it, although 1t has been known to be a source of supply for local consumption over 200 years. Wagon trains moving Tn the southwest to and from Brownsville during the civil war handled the salt; in fact, it was the only supply that Texas had to draw from during that period.
 The property on which this lake is situ- ated consists of a tract of seventy-one leagues of land, originally known as La ,Nonia de San Salvador del Tule," and claimed to have been granted by the gov ernment of Spain about the year 17sS to one Juan Jose Balh.

entitled to three delegates in addition to the pastor and the supperintendent. He paid a high tribute to the Sunday school activity in Opeaika, and to the hospitality of the citizens of that town.
 It had been four years since the secretary of the international association had ad- dressed the Teachers of Birmingham pr. Hamiu Is mot only Sunday school worker of zeal and ability, but he is a man of at- tractive personality as well. The Sunday school superintendents and teachers in every community never fadl to give him cordial welcome. From Birmingham he goes to his home in Illinois, and from there he will visit Tennessee. He will be present at the Opelika convention.
 To an Age-Herald reporter Dr. Hamill said that he was highly gratified with the Sunday school conditions .here. The teach CTS, he said, had manifested great interest in the institute.
 When asked as to the extent of the n- ternational scheme Dr. Hamill replied that the work of the association which he repre- scented was not confined, as some persons might think, to certain denominations. Ie embraced forty separate church organiza- tions. Episcopalians as we'll as Methodlsts, Baptists, Presbyterfans and other bodies or Christians large and small, were connected with it. He said that the Catholics in many eties while they had a parochial Sunday school system peculiar to their own church. we're willing helpers in the general scheme of the international association. He spoke pecially of the assistance that Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia had rendered him, and also of the cooperative spirit of the Catholics of St. Paul and Memphis.
 "IIvery state has Sunday school asso- eiation at work in connection with the international body, except Nevada, where prize fights are permitted" said Dr. Hamia
 During the present year the international secretary expects to return ito Bfrming ham and hold four days institute. He is a very busy man, his territory inciud1ng all the United States, Canada and Mexico, ana Cuba Is soon to be added Yet notwath-' standing his extensive field he manages to get over 1t quite well.

ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE WAR rom the London News:

From the London News.
 A correspondent who is interested in an- thropology sends us the following notes: Looking to the mixed origin of the British people, 1t is interesting to note the types of distinguished Generals and others in the war. Lord Roberts has an Irish face not easy to analyze racially but with feat ures of the true Gauls, who were accounted the best soldiers of antiquity. Sir Redvers Butler has a Devonshire type of face, which, like that of General Kekewich, is rather Celtic than Saxon, though probably partaking of both characters General French has more of the Anglo-Saxon type, but his deep-set eyes are not charactenlst- ic of that type in it's purity. Lord Methuen and General Macdonald have Scotch faces, the latter typically Highland, with "dim- pie on his chin," and with traits of the Scandinavian type so common in the High lands. Sir George White might be either Scotch or Northern Irish, and seems to show both Cymrlan and Scandinavian traits. The bugler Dunn and his father have Irish types of face. like so many of the ManX people.

ASTRONOMERS PREPARING -
For Photographing and Observing the
 Eclipse of the Sun

Washington. March 25.-Extensivs prepar- ations are being made at the United States naval observatory for photographing and observing the total eclipse of the sun which occurs on May 2S. Astronomical Director &. J. Brown said today:
 'Wf the weather is favorable we expect to secure some fine observations of the phe- nomena."
 Two government stations will observe the eclipse. one in South Carolina and one in Georgia. There may be a branch station as far south as Union Springs, Ala, a place directly under the line of totality Professor Brown said that the observatory is asked many questions in regard to the eclipse, indicating the widespread interest manifested in scientific circles in the ap- preaching event.
 A party of eastern scientists will come to Washington some days prior to the 18th of May and will accompany the observa- tory corps south, some going to Georgia and others remaining in South Carolina.

 tion-Dr. HamiII.

The Rev. pr. IT. M. Hamill, secretary of the International Sunday School assocfa- ton, closed the teachers institute with an hour and a halfs session at the First Meth odist church yesterday afternoon. He be- gan Saturday afternoon at the First Pres byterian church, with a lecture on the mira cles. Saturday night at the same church he gave lecture on the parables; and yesterday his theme was the life of Christ. He devoted much of--the time allotted to -him in this concluding lecture to the last day before the crucifixion and the cruci- fixion itself. The charts which he used seemed to heighten the effect of his lec- lures.
 After his regular narrative discourse at the Sunday session, Dr Hamill made short talk the importance of the work in which the Sunday School association was engaged, and urged the Sunday schools of Birmingham to send full delegation to the state convention which Is to assem- ble at Opelika on April 4.

 It Is said that the actress wears men g cIothes about the house in order to aecus- tom herself to the attire.

HIGH RATES ON
 GERMAN MONEY Herr Koch Says Trade Demand
 Will Keep Them Up. nAA rEaa,&,r nnNTINIICC
COAL FAMINE CONTINUES
Zeitung Issues Warning to Manufac- turers, Declaring There Has Been an Unnatural Bull Movement
 in Coal and Iron

Berlin, March 25-The quarterly settle ment is making unusual demands upon the German money market, the high rates for a prolongation of money having been the most striking feature last week A partial cause was the fact that the banks were 1y dividends. The end of the week saw a slight improvement in the situation.
 Warnings to speculative. industry to go slow have multiplied of late. Herr Koch, president of the ReichSbank, announced in the reichstag that the high rates for money would continue, owing to the heavy trade demand.
 The Allgemein Zeitung has printed. a semi-official warning to manufacturers de- clartng that there has been an unnatural bull movement In coal and iron shares and in the prices for the commodities. It ad- vises producers against utilzins the pres ent situation to the utmost on the ground that such a course would lead to the re- striction of exports. and an ultimate crash. It counsels moderation in every department of business.
 Meanwhile the coal famine ontinues very acute. The factories have lost millions of marks, and many are now operating on short time or without profit.
 Numerous chambers of commerce have discussed the situation. The Solingen chamber declares that a continuance of the famine will mean the complete shut ting down of many factories and the dis charge of thousands of worSingmen. The barmen chamber has addressed a com munication to the coal syndicate threaten- ing to ask the government to prohibit coal exports. The syndicate has replied that 1t has reduced the exports to minimum, but cannot dispense with them altogether, inasmuch as the German market is unable to absorb the entire output now amounting to seven million tons annually. The February trade statistics show large increase In coal exports and a de- crease in imports in consequence of the Bohemian strike, but the latter is now broken down and this will tend to improve the situation.

 Stantly Killed. MULE DETAILED THE TRAIN Engine Went Down an Embankment, But Engineer1Will Pearce Stuck

 Without Injury
MULE DETAILED THE TRAIN

Demopolis March 25.-(Speclal)-This af- ternoon about o'clock, as west-bound special freight train on the Southern rail way, running as the seoond~section of No. 73, was entering this place, the engine struck mule, severing his head completely from his body and throwing the engine off the track down an embanl0ment, upsettlng the tender and deradling four flats loaded with coal.
 Engineer Will Pearce was at the throttle, and Win Russell white, of Selma, was 41r- ing. When the engine left the track and plunged down the embankment Fireman Russell jumped from the left side of the engine and was caught under the tender as it upset. He was killed instantly and without perceptible mutIation of the body. His remains were recovered within half an hour after the wreck, and are in charge of Undertaken W. E. Michael. Engineer Pearce stuck to his post and escaped without in plunged straight down the slope and now lies in1peded in the ground.
 The four flats are badly wrecked and the track Is terribly torn up. The mule ran on the trestle and fell. The engine struck him and knocked him off, and if 1t had left the track at this place both fireman and engineer would necessarily have been kill ed, but it tore along on the track until it had gone at least 25 yards before it went over. The train was in charge of Conduc- tor Wes Little.

Democratic Primaries.

At a meeting of the democratic cen tral committee of Cochise county, held in Benson on the 23d day of August, 1900, it was ordered that the 27th day of September, 1900, be and hereby is set as the day for holding the demo- cratic primary elections throughout the county, for the purpose of choosing delegates to the democratic county con- vention, to be held in Knights of Py- thias hall, in the town of Benson, Co., chise county. Arizona, on the 10th day of October, 1900, at II o'clock a. m.
 The democrats of the various pre- cincts in the county are invited to as- semble and elect their own boards of primary election officers and choose delegates to the county convention, eS- cept in the precincts of Bisbee and Tombstone, where the local members of the county central committee will appoint the boards of primary election officers and designate the polling places, giving the voters ample notice Chereof.
 The following is the number of dele- gates appointed to each precinct, based on the vote of 1898:
Cochise review., 1900-08-31

THE Enterprise says, in speaking of the probability of the nomina- tion of General Wilson, that Co chise county has spoken, and d. vided delegation probably eight for Smith and six for Wilson have been chosen" It is understood that the delegates from Cochise are for Smith. It is true that one or two of the delegates may see fiji to vote for Wilson. This change will upset the understanding of the Benson convention, that the dele gates, although uninstructed and free in every respect to vote as they might see fit, were supporters of Smith. This change of inten- tion may have been effected, that is if it exists, since the convention, but the division of the delegates as stated by the Enterprise is un- doubtedly erroneous.
