Notes and Personals.

Austin. Texas, March about year
ago when the charter Of the Calvert, Waco
aud Brazos Valley railroad, providing for
the construction of line from Lewis
Switch to Waco was filed II was pre-
dicted in these dispatches that the initial
step in the invasion of Huntington terri
tory by the Goulds had bsen taken. and
that the projected line referred to would
ultimately develop into a road connecting
Houston and Fort Worth. In the mean
time that portion of the line connecting
Lewis Swith and Calvert was built and
little else was heard of the project. To-
day. however. Messrs. Price and Sted-
man of the International and Great
Northern filed an amendment to the char
ter of the Calvert. Waco and Brazos Val,
ley, which indicates that said project has
been anything but abandoned. This
amendment provides for an extension
twenty-five miles in length from Lewis
Switch to Bryan work on which Will
begin at once. From Bryan across to a
point on the main line of the International
and Great Northern to complete the cop-
nection with Houston is but a short dis
tance over territory to cover which no
sary. and 1t is more than probable that
another charter amendment calling for
this extension will be filed soon after
the completion OF the Bryan division. with
regard TO the northern extension of the
line. work on track from Calvert to Mar.
lin will soon begin, with view to uit-
mately reaching Waco. This latter point
once built into the extension to Fort
Worth will follow as a natural conse-
quence.
Marlin. Texas, March last night at
conference between committee of Mar
lin citizens and Colonel Trice, vice presi
dent of the International and Great North
ern, the contract that will place the Cal
vert. Waco and BRACES Valley railroad
into Marlin on or before the 18th Of Au-
gust next was signed. The movement has
been on foot for some time, and all of our
citizens have been working toward the
end attained last evening The commit
tee of right way leave this afternoon

over which the road will come.

A JUSTICE WHO SEES IT.

The fact that individual liberty is being illegally
infringed upon in our cities is evidenced by three
decisions Of Judge Bradley of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia in which within the week
he has liberated from Jail half-dozen suspected
criminals arrested and tried without due process of
law.
A local paper heads it's account of the affair
"paralyzes the police"-and it ought to paraly ze
them just about one-tenth. The way suspects are
grabbed up by the police and those sefconstituted
guardians of the peace, the sleuths, and raroaded
through the snapshot justice mills is criminal be-
yond any crime that comes within the jurisdiction
of the so-called police courts. And the pity of it
u.s. that that is only feature that goes to render
the proceedings of such courts shame upon human
ity and farce upon justice.
Justice Bradley is right. He is an upholder of
the constitution of the United States, and the
he curtails the personal vagaries Of the snug
bearers of the billy, the better it will be for cviza
ton. It is too bad there not enough Of the JUS
tice to put at least of him in every municipal
jurisdiction in the country. Washington Cd. O.

of their efforts is plainly in evidence wherever they
have taken up residence.

ONE Of the modern methods which criminolo-
gsts have seized upon in order to lessen crime, has
been that of the separate confinement" of prisoners
while awaiting trial Like many other theories the
results from such course have hardly come up to
expectations There is short cut toward eradicat-
ing crime. When the causes that are responsible
for criminal actions removed, then we can hope
for decrease in the annual output of criminals.
From poverty to crime is but step; and from re-
spectability to the courtroom, is but another. AS
the ranks of poverty are increased crime becomes
more accumulated and increases proportionally
Poverty is the Vesuvius that emts the greater por-
ton of chance criminals But to eradicate this eye
sore poverty is like trying to shift the earths axis.
As long as existing conditions remain they are
we can see no possible reason why there will be a
decrease in crime. Men may snip off twig here
and twig there; enforce the separate confinement
Of suspects with its attending hardships count the
bumps on our head and the moles on our body, but
as long that giant nursery, POVERTY, is adding
to it's numbers yearly, it will avail them naught.

THE VALUE OF A TRADE.

ANY young man who enters manhood without
good practical knowledge Of trade profession
that will enable him to earn livelihood begins life
lacking the fundamental requisite to success In
this age of specialization in which trained ability is
the recommendation to preference, a thorough mas
terry calling is absolutely indispensable
to attain the rewards of this busy world. The high
state of perfection to which modern producing agen
cies have been brought, and the sharp competitive
strife that marks the struggle for industrial suprem
acy, demands thorough skill to engage in their field
of labor Mediocrity, mere acquaintance with
the catch words of trade does not constitute first
class mechanic, have they any value to the prac-
teal business man seeking competent help.
There is altogether too much of the bookish and
theoretical in early education and not enough of the
natural and practical The useful is sacrificed to
the ornamental Storing the mind with mass of
useless information instead Of training the faculties
with knowledge of art or trade that will be of
value breadwinner, has been the of educa-
tional systems that are being recognized as
wrong in theory and vicious in practice. OF what
value is it to man to know how long it will take
hailstone to reach the earth? Of what value can
any one derive from knowing how many soldiers
William the Conqueror had with him when he landed
in England, or the precise depth reached by that
arrow which happened to pierce King Harolds eye?
Such knowledge may in handy occasionally,
but it has little value in securing position that calls
for familiarity with the needs of practical life
Mechanical skill is always in demand, but the
supply seldom meets it. With keen insight into
the needs Of trade no need long remain unem-
ployed in the industrial world Starting in life, ig
norant of it's realities their faculties undeveloped
and with power Of application, young face
the world with the elements of failure weighing
down the first maiden efforts of their career.
The rewards of this life are, in the very nature
of things intended for those whose abilities deserve
them Ability is the result of study and application
to the one line of labor chosen best adapted to
mental and physical capacity. Without well de-
fined purpose in life, and assiduous attention to
it's Details interest and advancement, there be
no success to crown old age.
