Henry Clews the we'll known bank
er and authority on Wall street affairs,
| brings out the fact in recent letter
that the abundance of capital seeking
investment is such as to settle the fu-
ture status of the trusts" He says that
the desire to invest in great manufac-
turing enterprises is SO great. the field
so apparently lnexhaustible. and mon
ey SO plentiful that the trusts will have
to abandon at once and for all any pre-
tensions they may have had to monop-
oily They will have to face fierce COM
petition. and the result will be a devel-
opment of our industrial enterprises
the like of which the country has new
er known. In the presence of such an
overwhelming force Of free capital,
says Mr.. Clews. monopolies are mere
toys. The whole aspect of the market
leads to the belief that the tendency is
toward closer organization and saving
of cost of production, while part of the
saving goes to the consumer. 1t must
be remembered always that when the
demand for all sorts of manufactured
goods is SO great as now. the price of
raw material inevitably increases, and
the first producer gets most of the ben |
eft. Hence high prices for manufac- !
tured goods in most cases indicate high |
prices for raw materials also, and con-
sequent prosperity of the great mass
of the people. The unstable trusts will
fall of their own weight. and the stable
industrial combinations will before
long adjust themselves to public re-
quirements and become active factors
in progress and recognized products of
legitimate industrial development. 1t
will be as foolish to inveigh against
the combinations of capital as it Is now
to cry out against type setting ma
.hines, shoe making machines, and 9TH
er modern inventions that have helped
o make the world great.

AN ORIGINAL LETTER SIGN
ED BY SAM HOUSTON
A Valuable Relic of Early Texas His
tory Now in the Possession of an
Ell Paso Man.

A P. Coles. president of the Ten
nessee society, has in his possession a
letter which he values beyond price. 1t
| was written by President Sam Houston
of the republic of Texas on the 30th
of April 1912, and is the letter appoint
ing Colonel Barry Gillespie general
agent for Texas at New Orleans, when
this young republic was in dire need of
assistance from the United States.
The letter was given him few days
ago by Captain Charles Davis, who
has had it since the death of his
brother, Major B. H. Davis, here sew
eral years ago. Major Davis once
roomed with Sam houston in Washing
ton when both men were officials there.
In. some way the letter went back to
Houston after Colonel Gillespie had re-
ceived it and Major Davis got it from
President Houston in Washington. 1t
is colored with age but the paper is
still in good condition and can be east
ly read.
Sam Houston first began the practice
of law in Mr.. Coles's old home, Leba-
non, Tennessee, in the twenties, and
being very much interested in Tonnes
see history Mr.. Coles prizes the letter
highly. He has other old letters and
articles Of a historical character that
make up a valuable lot.
The letter is as follows:
Executive Department. City of Calves
ton, April 80, 1912.
Colonel Barry Gillespie:
Sir.-Reposing special trust and con-
fidence in your discretion, wisdom. pa
triotism, capacity and integrity, do
hereby appoint you general agent for
this government to New Orleans.
You will be careful to appoint no one
to act with you, or under your orders
in whom you have not implicit conf
dence. To prevent imposition upon
our friends in the United States is all
important.
You will correct all or any abuse
which may exist by persons claiming to
be agents of Texas.
You will render all aid in forwarding
troops and aids to this republic, and
see that no cash Contributed to this
governmenD be expended, unless by
the special order of the president or
secretary of war. -.
You will keep the secretary of war
apprised of all important intelligence
which you may possess in relation to
the interests of Texas.
You will receive all instructions

| The following from the Mexican
Herald of Monday tells how Ell Paso
base ball players take care of them
selves and the clty's good name in a
foreign country.
The Ell Paso team won theopening
game in the series with Mexico City
yesterday afternoon on the Paseo dc la
Reforma grounds by the score of Is to
6. 1t was in many respects good ex-
| hibition of the sport and was thorough
ly enjoyed by the Dig crowd that was in
attendance. But the grounds were in
such bad condition that it made it i'm
possible to play anywhere near the
kind of ball both teams are capable of
putting up. The outfleld was at least
three inches in water in spots and
when the ball hit the mud it stuck
there. Considering how difficult it was
for the players to keep on their feet
the small numbers of errors made is
remarkable.
The Ell Paso's certainly had streak
of horseshoe luck or perhaps it is
better to state that the Mexicos had
a hoodoo put on them. At a number
OF times in the first part of the game
they had men on base with the heaviest
hitterS on the MeXicOS at the bat but
they could not hit the ball safely In
the NTH inning Lackey, the big catch
er. was hurt in the hand and Was COM
PEELED to retire from the game. He was
taken out just at time his services
were greatly needed both behind the
plate and at the bat and the result of
the game would perhaps have been
another story had he remained in it.
he was quite badly hurt but thinks
that it will be possible for him to get
in the game today. Gilbert took Lack
eyS place and caught a very acceptable
game. But he could not steady the
men like Lackey. Brownie Cham
berlain played the star game for the
home boys and won the admiration of |
every one. He gave one of the finest !
of the proper way to play |
first base that has ever been seen nere |
Big Chief" Tyler had the heavy part |
Of the work on his hands and it is q |
that he did as well as he did |
with the ball so wet that he could hot
get hold on it. After Lackey got |
out of the game he tossed the ball over
md let the Ell Pasos swing at it with
LII their might. Compared with
Ahorn. who was the opposing pitcher,
[ylers work was not at all bad, in fact
t was as good as could be expected
lnder the circumstances.
1t is hard to pick out any one mem
Ter of the Ell Paso outfit for special
lotice. They all played a steady good
anne and showed themselves to be
lard workers from the start Their
york on the field won for them the
dmiration of all the spectators as they
ut up such a snappy exhibition of the !,
port as to leave nothing to be desired.
Cahin umpired a very satisfactory
anne and there was less kicking than |
as ever been seen in a ball game here.
here was absolutely no rowdy ball
laying and it was something that was
ppreciated by the spectators.

Chronic Rheumatism.

This name should, according to all
medical Usage. represent n continue
ton of an acute rheumatism in u less
violent and painful form. and such
cases are actually found under the
name chronic rheumatism. Yet this
name. as ordinarily employed. desig-
mates several affections. all of which
are characterized by pains in the joints
or in the muscles. which have IL ten
dency to persist indefinitely. There is
q form Of chronic rheumatism which
affects the patient like the acute dis.
ease, except that the symptoms are less
marked; there may be no fever, the
pain and soreness are less intense, the
tenderness on pressure is comparatively
slight, and the swelling of the joints
may be scarcely noticeable. AS in the
acute variety, various joints are affect
ed successfully. The disease may final.
.ly become concentrated and remain
fixed in a single joint. In this disease
there is but little disturbance of the
general health, insufficient, indeed, IL
disturb, the patients avocation. Yet
there are instances in which move
ments Of the affected part cause con
/ siderable pain, and patients may b.
even confined to the bed. After Ion,

Joints may present irregular enlarge
ments and stiffenings. while the nus
cles Of these limbs become small from
lack of use.
In many cases of acute rheumatism
the severity of the pain varies extreme
ly with the weather; so that such indi-
viduals are usually able to foretell, by
few hours. the occurrence of cold and
moist weather. There is a variety of
rheumatism, so called, in which the
pain is felt chiefly along the leg bones,
the "shins,'' and occurs especially. at
night.
Treatment-One of the most import
ant features of treatment of chronic
rheumatism is care in wearing flannel
next to the skin throughout the year.
The administration of drugs is by no
mean certain to produce beneficial re-
suits. Some cases are materially benz
1iteed by the regular employment of the
hot air, or hot vapor bath, the Turkish
bath, etc. The fact is, that the treat
ment of each case of chronic rheuma-
tism is largely an experiment which
can be successfully accomplished at
ter considerable time has been spent in
trials of drugs and remedial measures.
Among the medicines which are most
frequently useful are the iodide of
potassium. guiac. and cod liver oil.
The following formula may be given:

Iincture OF guiac. Two ounces

In a small African village, some years
ago, there was IL scare about some leop-
ards which were said to have killed a
number of goats. Accordingly Two
white men, accompanied by several NIB
tives, set off to hunt them. Presently
they found u place in the long grass
where it was evident that one of the
brutes had recently lain, for the ground
was still warm.
The natives formed n ring round 1t,
and the hunters got their guns ready.
After a little while the leopard emerged
from the long grass and was fired at
and wounded, but not fatally. With D
great bound, lie sprang OH one of the
white and brought him to the
ground. Holding his victim. lie turned
and growled savagely at the others.
The natives gave a wild yell for fear,
and then, like a shot, the leopard
sprang away. He had not been fright.

him.
The wounded hunter was i'll for a
