Dangers Pointed Out.

When Mr.. Alschuier, on being in
troduced by the chairman, arose. it was
fully two minutes before he could
make himself heard owing to the
cheering. MIR. Alschuler impressed
upon his hearers the importance of
the questions before the American
people for settlement at the polls in
NOvem Der. 1t meant whether the
country would continue as our fore
fathers planned it should for all time,
republic. the home of liberty, or
whether the principles of the declara-
ton of Independence were to be sue
ceeded by the iron-handed, tyranni-
cal rule of empire. In this connection
the speaker produced a book written
8 few years ago BIZ Theodore RoJse-
welt, who is now posing as the candi
date of the repu blicans for vice presi-
dent. The book is a biography of
Thomas H. Benton" and proves that
no longer than two years ago Theodore
Roosevelt recorded bims elf in strong
terms again ST reaching out for remote
lands to conquer. He said in this
book that expansion was a ''piratical'
way of looking at territory Character f,
istic of the west; and was in favor
among men of easy commercial NOR
ais" I'VE want no unwilling citizens
to enter our union" declared Mr..
Roosevelt in THAI book.

trust influences. Mr.. Alsehuler felt
that it was but necessary TO refer to
the Porto Ricau tariff. The president
declared after the island had been in
vaded by the American troops aud
the Spanish yoke removed that it was
our plain duty to extend to the
people of that country the blessings
of the constitution, including free
trade. But the sugar and tobacco
trusts said free trade would never do,
and the result is the president caused
to be imposed a Is per cent tariff
That was but one of the many in
stances that could. be cited to show
the drift of things in our national
affairs.
Insult to American Intelligence.
Referring to the full dinner pail
bugabo Mr.. Alschuler declared lit
is an insult to the intelligence of every
liberty-loving man and woman in the
union. The full dinner pail in Hi
nois is not much different from the
'ull dinner pail in Pennsylvania, where
I30, 900 anthracite coal miners, whose
wages have been 80 cents a day. are
striking for liberation from the truck
store system and enough pay to shell
Ter and feed themselves and families.
II the condition of the laboriug men
in Illinois had been improved-and he
hoped it had-Mr. Alschuler said 1T
was not due to the republican admin
istration. but to the Increased efficacy
of the labor unions.
If the price of products had been in
creased, it was due more to the con-

other condition. Here Mr.. Alsch uler
told of a conversation he had with an
old farmer over near his home in
Aurora. The farmer said times were
good and he believed that it would be
better not to have a change in admin
stration. Mr.. Al-chuler pointed out
10 him that war always made better
times. That being the case, the
farmer said let the war go on Me.
Alschuler asked him to pause and
think of the sons that were being sac
rifced in order to carry on the war.
The farmer replied, but 1 have no

pursued by the present administra-

q clearness that left no doubt as to
what he meant and what the demo

The 1900 club held its reeu ar month
~ dance last mig ht in Chopin hall. and
over thirty couples tripped the light

far the most enjoyable dance yet given
by that popular club.
This club was organized early last
winter by several we'll known young
men and women and has been giving
dances and socials every two weeks
since that time.
One of the most prominent features
of the organization is the socials which
are given every month at the resi-

coupled with their dances, make 1t
one of the best social organizations in
the city at the present time.

THE GREAT
UNIVERSITY
Which Presbyterians Propose
To Establish In Texas
Ell PASO'S OPPORTUNITY
To Secure the Location Not Thought
To Be Good BY Rev. H. w. Moore,
Secretary Russell And Others.

\ The proposition to secure for f.
PasO the stat. Presbyterian University
has aroused some discussion. The gen
orally expressed opinion seems to be
that 1t would be splendid thi1g for
this city if 1t could be secured, but tina,
this city is too far west to get 1t. The
university if built would be very fine
one.
Rev. w. S. Clagett Is the originator
of the plan. His idea is to establish
the university as monument OF the
fiftieth anniversary of Texas independ-
ence, and he has bsen working persist
emily ON the scheme for several years.
According to his plan 1t was intended
to raise by subscription one million
dollars before beginning work. 1t Is to
be built by both the southern aud
northern branches of the Presbyterian
church, and both have expressed
themselves strongly in favor of it and
cor tributed to it.
Dallas and Fort Worth both have
their eyes on The university as a covet-
ed prize and are making strenuous
efforts to secure its location there.
The secretaries of the commercial
with Rev. Mr.. Clsgett on the subject
and one of the prominent business men
OF Fort Worth has written for full
. particu ars. The board of trustees, of
which Rev. Mr.. Clagett Is president,
has established it's headquarters at
Dallas, and is issuing ssmall bi-month-
ly paper In its interests.
DSeveral expressions OF opinion were
obtained by the HERALD represent
alive today some Of which are given
below.
1.-THE sche me in my opinion Is hard
ly practics BILE, "said E. e. Russell, sec
Rotary o. the chamber OF commerce.,
$50 far "a Ell Pa 90 is concerned. Being
9 state affair iS would be located some
where near the center of population.
FL Psso Is too far out to stand any
,show to get a state Institution of this
kind. An international college or some
thing of that kind may do here"
81 do not think Ell Paso stands much
show of getting ths University" said
Rev. Henry W. Moore, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in this city.
"When it Is established # IL ever is IL
will be somewhere in eastern or GEN.
trail Texas where several places are
suggested for it. 1t is a very large
scheme and one that Mr.. Clagett has
been working on for many years. FL
Paso is too far away from the center of
population to be chosen for IL if it is
built"
SIT will be fine thing for the city
If we can get it, said Prof G 2. Put |
nam. I'VE have had several col |
leges talked about. think we stand a |
better show of getting the Catholic col |
lege than any of the others. L. looss |
like this would be good place for one
of that kind"
''It would be great thing for Ell
Paso," remarked Thomas Evans, land
we ought to try for it Ell Paso needs
of that kind"

DIVORCE NOT GRANTED.
JUDGE WalthaIl Held That Mrs
Gaskey Had Failed To Make Out
A Case But Allowed Further

Yesterday afternoon Judge Walthsl
heard the case of Mrs. Kate M. Gas
KEY VS.. Louis Gsskey for divorce and
the habeas corpus proceedings instl'
tuted by the plaintiff for the posses-
sion of their minor child. Mrs. Gas
kew asked for the divorce on 'he
ground OF alleged uukenness and cruel
treatment and in the habeas corpus
apple alton she alleged that her bus
band had by force and fraud taken
possession OF the child and placed him
with his sister who was endeavoripg to
poison his mind against bis mother.
The suit WAS contested by Gaskey.
Evidence was introd uced by the plain
tiff to show that the defendant was ad-
dicted to drink at times. Mrs. G.s~ry
went on the stand in pe'-ou and testi-
eed that the defendant had struck her.
The latter took the stand and positive
ly denied this charge. Mrs. James
Magoffin testified to the good character
of Mrs Gaskey VINO was In her employ.
Mrs. Magoffiu said she was q faithful,
hard working woman of kind dispo-
sition and seemed to be very much at
tached to her child.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Walthall held that it was lnsuffic1ent
to justify granting the divorce asked
for. In regard to the habeas corpus
proceedings he was of th- 'D'n ~. that
nothing could be done In the absence
of q decree of divorce. There was
certain discretionary power vested'ln
the court in such matters but shA law
was not mandatory and fl he should
undertake to straighten all domestic
trouble the entire time of the court
wouldt be taken up in this.
Attorney G. Patterson for the
plaintiff urged that the grave charge
of striking woman was sufficient to
Gaskey's testimony. The court
however declined to see it that way
but was willing to allow the case to
be dismiss ed so that the plaintiff
might have the right to refile 1t II she
could secure further evidence.
Attorney Patterson however said
that he had some authorities OF law
and further facts to submit and Judge
Walthsll finally took the matter under
advisement and will render his de-
cision after hearing further from the
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-05-10
