Austin. Tex, May 3.-Out Of Dixie the
presidential party to-day Travelled into the
heart Of the great Southwest. After leaving
New Orleans yesterday. beautiful Bayou
Teche. the home of Acadians. and the wav-
ing rice fields Of Western Louisiana. were
passed during the night, and the new ell
fields Of Texas whirled by Just at the peep
OF day, too early to be seen by the Presi-
dent.
When the party arose this morning the
train was already flying over the plains OF
Texas. which stretched away to the hori-
zon In every direction, level as board.
Until 4:30 this afternoon, when Austin was
reached, the train passed in succession. the
cotton belt Of Texas. the rich agricultural
region beyond the Brazos River. known as
the Black Prairie. much wooded country
and fine grazing land. The President had
his first glimpse Of ng-horned Texas cat
tie and picturesque cowboys on Western
range horses.
Texas Shows Enthusiasm.
The Presidents reception in the Lone
Star State was continuation Of the ova-
tion he has received throughout the South.
Every honor was shown him and his party,
and there was much enthusiasm.
Governor Sayers and other prominent
State officials met the President at Hous-
ton. the first stopping place inside the State.
and accompanied him as far as Austin, the
capital. There was some interesting fea-
lures in the reception at Houston. and
picturesque scene at Prairie View, where
the President addressed the negro students
Of the State Normal School on q stand
erected on the open prairie at the side Of
the track. He advised the negro people to
learn to do one thing well.
stops Along the Route.
Minute stops were also made at Hemp
stead. where the Presiden. shook hands
with q number OF people; at Brennan, tho
home Of Colonel Goddings, one Of the Presi-
dents old colleagues in the House Of Rep
resentatives. and at Elgin, at each Of which
places he spoke few words. At every sta
tion along the route there were cheering
crowds.
The feature Of the day was the reception
accorded the party at Austin. which, like
New Orleans. had never before had tho
honor OF entertaining a chief magistrate Of
the nation. The city was profusely decorated,
and in the evening there was q brilliant L.

LUCAS HEIRS.

Most Of the Lucas heirs are probably
annoyed at the way in which their
names are being used In connection with
Missouri Park.
Some Of the organs Of the Exposition
company are, for example, predicting
that the Lucas heirs will object and
therefore prevent the use Of the park
for the Public Library.
It is not likely that the Lucas heirs
assume any right whatever to interfere,
They have absolutely nothing to do with
that part Of Missouri Park lying south
Of Locust street, which was bought out
right by the city. II there is remote
contingent interest 1t cannot arise by
any possibility as long as the ground is
used for park purposes. The city could
place q public library, a geological col
lection, music pavilion or any other
such institution there, and the Lucas
heirs would have no more right to pro-
test than has any other citizen.
The proposition always has been to
locate the Public Library south of the
Locust street south lire.
Even In that part OF Missouri Park
north Of Locust street the interest Of
the Lucas heirs IL remotely contingent.
The property was conveyed to the city
to be used for park purposes. The only
reason for securing I waiver from them
when the Exposition was built arose
from the doubt whether the park pur-
poses were being violated. II the Ex-
