Seaport of the South.

It has long been evident that Ii.
rapidly increasing movement Of grain
and merchandise towards the south.
ern seaboard would demand an in.
crease of shipping facilities on the
Mexican Gulf. The most promising
seaport city is La Porte, at the head d
galveston Bay. Peculiar natural ad,
vantages surround IIaPorte, notably lH
being the fartherest inland seaport On
the Gulf, having high dry land with
perfect drainage and the purest arte.
sian water, a climate unsurpassed IN
the south and an attractive city site

coner and his cart, and the members on
horseback. There is plenty of dash
and excitement in the business. Some
times an old and keen falcon is flown
at a rook within easy reach, but she
does not want the prey so near at
hand, and so mounts to the very
clouds, till she spies another flock, into
which she darts like a shooting star.
Riders dash off across the down, their
eyes fixed upon the hawk, and the fall
coner shouts, "She has killed" when he
sees something fall from the flock. Off
dash the riders who have marked the
descent of the victim, and soon the
bird is taken up. Later in the year the
members will be flying their falcons at
grouse on the Scotch and Northum-
berland moors. Not few hawks and
falcons are now kept in and about Lon
don, and taken into the country by
train when they are wanted in the
field. The reason why the goshawk has
become a general favorite in France
is because of its superiority to the fall
con for hawking in a closed country
among hedges, trees, plantations and
gardens. 1t seizes its prey in the air,
on the ground, or even on a tree or
bush, without hesitation, and its
adroitness, speed, courage and quick
ness of eye are astonishing l. is no
exaggeration to say that the owner of
a property of five or six hunured acres
would take as much game on it with
the single goshawk as he could kill
with a gun.

REVIVAL OF FALCONRY.
This Long Neglected Form of Sport
Again Becoming Popular in Europe.

This Long Neglected Form OF Sport
Again Becoming Popular in Europe.
Few people have any idea OF tho
sport which the hunters of Europe de-
rived, two or three centuries ago, from
hunting with birds. 1t is not easy to
account for the long neglect of this
form of hunting. The only part of the
continent where it survived as a nor
NAL national sport was in Bosnia,
where the landowners have never
ceased to fly their falcons at partridges
that are found for them by pointers.
Now that falconry has begun to re-
vive, the Dutch hawk catchers are un-
able to take enough falcons to meet tha
orders of their English and French
patrons. These Dutch falcons, taken
when following the flights of all kinds
of birds, are the pick of the catch, but
far more are taken from nests when
very young. In France the goshawk Ii
much in favor and high-fying falcons
are less in demand than in England
and Scotland. Today the best estab-
lishments of hawks and the most en-.
thusiastic followers of the sport are
found in England and Scotland. The
Hawking club meets every spring on
Salisbury Plain to fly falcons at rocks
Everything is as we'll done as in thI
days of James I. There may be from
twelve to twenty falcons, with the fal'

Few actors have so warm place in
the hearts of their admirers as Sol
Smith Russell, whose portrayal of SIM
pie, quaint characters is an art in
which he has no rivals. The news of his
recent illness therefore was received
with sorrow everywhere. Mr.. Russell
is mentally exhausted and in such a
serious condition that it may be long
time before he returns to the stage.
He broke down in Chicago in the first
act of the play.
Russell was born in Brunswick, Mo-,
in 1S48. When the war broke out he
was 13 years old. He ran away from
home and shortly thereafter appeared
as a drummer boy in the camp at
Cairo, Ill. He clung to the army sew
eral years, making his first appearance
in a theatrical role on a canvas COW
cred stage which the soldiers had
erected for their own amusement.
After the war his talent as a singer
and low comedian gained him a place
in travelling companies. At one time
he gave slack wire performances. AS
he grew older he studied character
portrayal and soon was recognized by
managers as a man with a future. In
1So0 he starred in "Edgewood Folks"
and for five years reaped a rich har-
vest in this play. Then followed
Peaceful Valley" and "A Poor Rela-
tion," the latter being his master
piece. Latter:y he has attempted
more serious roles. He is one of the
richest of actors, a man of sound
morals and upright living. He mar

Yankee Enterprise in South Africa

Not necessarily the strangest, but
undoubtedly the most astonishing
revelation to an American travelling in
South Africa is the extent and nature
of American works and enterprises,
says a traveller. Everywhere the
hands of the Yankee-as all Ameri-
cans are called in that country-are
visible. On the farms American i'm
plements are used almost exclusively;
in the mines American machinery is
the best; American electric cars and
lights are in all the cities, and on the
railroads they have American loco
motives and palace cars. Americans
are at the head of all the gold and
diamond mines. and a regiment of
Yankees is assisting Kruger's army
in fighting for a cause which they be-
lieve is as just as that for which
their forefathers fought so valiantly
at Bunker Hill.

A QUAKER CONGRESSMAN.

There are two members of congress
whose installation into Office differs
in form from that of all others. These
are Marriott Brossius and Charles But
Ter, both Pennsylvanians and Quakers.
Instead of making an oath to do their
duty, viz, placing their hands upon
the Bible and making a solemn appeal
to God, as they promise to fulfill all
their obligations, which is the estab-
lished custom of congress, these men
in accordance with their religious
views merely arise in their seats and
affirm" That is, they make their
promise solemnly, but not in the form
of an oath. One of the men thus pc
culiarly distinguished occupies a COM
manding position in congress. Mar
riot Brosius has represented the Ian
caster district ten years, and by rea-
son of his ability and long service has
just been placed at the head OF the

A MINNESOTA FARMER
Does Well in Western Canada.
Virden Man. Nov. 1S 189

Virden, Man, Nov. IS, 1899.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister OF the
Interior, Ottawa, Canada-Sir: Think
ing that my experience in Manitoba
might be both useful and interesting
to my fellow-countrymen in the United
States who may be looking to Mani
toba and the northwest with the in
tention of settling there, l have much
pleasure in stating that through in
formation received from Mr.. w. F.
McCreary, immigration commissioner
at Winnipeg, l was induced to Visit
Manitoba in February, 1893. When L
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains to give me all the information,
etc, in his possession, the result or
which was that l came here with
letter of introduction from him to the
secretary of the Virden Board OF
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with a competent land guide, and,
although there was considerable snow
on the ground, had no difficulty in
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land office in
Brandon, 1 returned to my home in
Lyon county, Minnesota, and came back
here in May following, accompanied
by one Of my boys, bringing with us
two teams of horses, implements, etc.
Our first work was to erect a Temp
rary shanty and stable. after which
we broke and leveled seventy-five
acres and put up thirty tons of hay.
I went back to Minnesota about July
20, leaving my son here. returned
in October, bringing my family with
me. l found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality, being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoil.
Last spring l sowed 100 acres in wheat
and nifty acres in oats and barley.
(Seventy-five acres OF this grain was
sowed on 'go-back" plowed last
spring) My crop was thrashed in
October, the result being over 2,70O
bushels of grain in all. Wheat aver
aged fifteen bushels per acre and
graded No. hard, but that which was
Sown on land other than sod ego
back'O went twenty four and one-half
bushels per acre.
To say that l am we'll pleased with
the result of my first years farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade-
quately express my feelings, and
have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, If
they are willing to do fair amount
of work. l am ten miles from Virden,
which is good market town, and nine
miles from Hargrave, where there are
two elevators. This summer | erected
a dwelling house of native stone and
bought a half-section of land adjoin-
ing our homesteads, for which l paid
a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
from the Canadian Pacific Railway
company at $3.50 per acre on liberal
terms. Good water is generally found
at a depth of from fifteen to twenty
feet. have 175 acres ready for crop
next year.
The cost of living here is about the
same as in southern Minnesota. Some
commodities are higher and others
lower in price, but the average is
about the same. l remain, your obe-
dent servant. (Signed)

PRIVATE RIDING RING.
VIII De Erected In New York by
Frank Gould for Himself and
Friends.

Frank J. Gould is going to erect n
spacious riding ring for his own and
his friends use in Fifty-seventh street,
west of Fifth avenue, New York. Plans
for the building were filed with the
building department by York g. Saw
yer. who have prepared the drawings.
Alterations will be made in the rear
of the stable, so that it will really form
part of the riding ring, giving the
structure sweep from street to street.
There will be nothing elaborate about
the interior arrangements, the entire
surface being given over to the tan
bark. There will be n gallery from
which Mr.. Gould's friends can watch
the riders on the floor. The ring is to
be built early in the fall, and will be
ready for use by next winter.
While there will be no striking ar
chitectural efforts attempted, the ex-
terror will be made attractive in APP
pearance. The estimated cost of the
riding ring is $4,000. In addition to
this 81 900 will be devoted to the alter
atoms to the stables.
