Oil for Cooking.

Next in Importance to the dis
covery of oil in Texas is the per-
fecting of a mechanical device for
utilizing the heat and output from
the oil fields in order that the
greatest fuel discovery of any age
may be applied in practical
manner to the various needs of
mankind. Messrs. II. B. Davis
and G. II. Barton of 1905 and
1907 Main street are the invent
ors, patentees and manufacturers
of a crude oil burner, which, by
thorough test, has been proven a
success for using oil as fuel in
cooking and heating stoves.
The burner, which is an octa-
gon-shaped affair, and very simple
in construction, can be manufac-
tured with a margin Of profit for
81, and is adjustable to stoves of
all sizes and makes. 1t is esti-
mated that a quart of oil, costing
one-ffth of cent, will furnish
ample fuel for the preparation of
a meal. On this estimate the cost
of fuel for a year will be trihe
less than $2.-Houston Post.

Editor of the Clarlon:-I have read with sur
prise and some indignation your editorial crltl-
cising my course one of the attorneys for the
accused in State VS.. BLOWN on trial under
bill of Indictment for murder. I consider that
you have transcended the limits of your pre-
negatives as public journalist in undertaking
to-5ensure me for filing a technical plea i'll
court, based upon the Constitution of the
United States and the laws of the State Of
Louisiana, especially when it is admitted by the
District Attorney that the plea is well founded
and must be sustained
III undertaking to defend that accused party
whose life or liberty WAS at stake, my duty and
oath as an attorney at law obliged ne TO inter
p0sein his behalf every legal plea that would
aid in his defense, and no man with proper
appreciation Of right or the least knowledge of
professional ethics would condemn me for 80
doing. AS far as I, know. no one in this State
ever heretofore attempted to bring into ques-
ton the conduct of an attorney for filing that
plea in behalf of his client except yourself and
your anonymous correspondent who signs
b mself always White Man"
In fling the plea ill question. l am simply
following the example of no less eminent DEM
ocratic authority than Judge Story ard Hon.
z. s. PUgh of Acadia, of Judge Wilkinson
and Hon j: c. Eagan of Red River, of that
brilliant young advocate of the New Orleans
bar Thomas F. Maher, as you will see if you
take the trouble to refer to the following cases
reported i'll our State reports; State of La VS..
Joseph, 45 A.. sos; State of LA. vs, Murry At A,
Acadia, but not yet published, wherein Hon.
P. s. Pugh and Judge Hampton Story appeared
counsel for the accused.
The Supreme Court in the case of the State of
La vs. Murry abcve referred TO, i'll passing
upon this plea took occasion to compliment Mr..
Maher in the following words:
Having examined this ease with the care
required involving the lie of q human being,
We have reached the conclusion that there is
no error in any OF the rulings defendant has
comp aimed of. But We cannot refrain from
applauding the zeal and vi-or with which
counsel for the defendant has defended tile
accused s
l do not send you this explanation by way of
excuse or explanation, for I make neither.
Though did not originate or frame the plea
referred to, Joined IN it and assume my full
measure of responsibility for so doing. In the
pursuit of nay. profession l will continue
to be guided by my own sense of right and
duty to my client, undeterred by fear of such
criticism and appeals to prejudice as appears
in the editorial in question and the commune
cation of your correspondent above alluded to.
