ceeded.

ADVENTUROUS JAMES BOWIE.

Knife Made of Old File.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
There are men who seem especially Gre
eted to I'LL a certain place in the affairs
Of their time. This has been particularly
true in American history. The man that
in the storm and stress OF the period was
most needed has always come to the fore
at the supreme moment II ever this was
demonstrated by circumstances 1t was in
the early history OF the Texas republic
that storm-bo state evoked from the
local revolution OF 1896.
In hts remarks concerning the early his
tory of Texas that President Mckinley
made In his recent tour he referred most
felicitously, though briefly, to the four
men who, under Providence, had been
most prominent in the early days, when
the greatest state of the Union, in the
matter of territory. WAS a young and
struggling republic-Houston, Travis,
Crockett and Bowie. he spoke on classic
ground, too, for 1t was at the Alamo,
where he then stood, that three OF the
four crowned with their lives their devo-
tion to the young state, whose founda-
tions they had laid deep and wide and
sanctihed its cornerstone with the seal
OF their blood

A few words touching his ancestry may
not be out of place. He was not from
Maryland, as has been so often stated,
but was born in Burke county Georgia,
in 1880. In 1902 his father emigrated to
Louisiana.
Early Days in Louisiana,
That country was then still under
French dominion. There had been large
tracts of land granted by the French
Crown in the territory named for Louis
XIV, and one of these, in the parish OF
Catahoula, was acquired by the elder
Bowie. He was a man of substance,
owning nearly 100 slaves. He soon had
his estate we'll opened out and was grow
ing superb crops of cotton and corn.
His son James he sent first to a famous
private school at Natchez. Miss, aud
afterward to the Jesuit college then To-
Gated in New Orleans.
James Bowie, In 1897, was challenged to
a duel with Norris Wright. The pocket
pistols of that day were uncertain. 1t
was long before the percussion cap had
been brought into common use, and the
fiintlock arm was the only firearm
known. 1t was liable to miss fire Just
when 1t ought not to. Bowie determined
to rely upon a l0nife he had caused to be
made for just such a contingency. He
had taken a fourteen-inch long file, such
as was then used to sharpen oross-cut
saws and the upright saws used for turn
ing out planks from logs. He had the
file marks carefully ground off the file
and the smooth pieces of steel skillfully
reduced by the grindstone until It was
about the thickness and weight he desfr-
ed. Then he took It to a Spaniard in New
Orleans, known as Pedro the skilled
cutler" man who had learned his art In
Toledo, where the finest sword blades in
all Spain were forged. He tenn
pered and finished the knife, fitted
1t with a cross-piece and hsft.
When 1t was done James Bowie had
a weapon "flt to fight for a mans life
with" as he said to Gov. Wells. II was
beautifully balanced, and the artist had
hollow ground it like razor with a
double edge for three or four inches from

Fumigation of Mails.
Whether the fumigation of mails,
for protection aginst smallpox, should
be maintained was the next question.
DR.. Sloggett questioned if the meas
ure were of any great value. If Homo
lulu is going to have smallpox, it will
likely get in otherwise than through
the mails.
DR.. Garvin said the same condition
existed now as when the measure was
adopted If wise then it was wise
now.
Dr. Pratt, answering a question.
said the situation on the mainland
exhibited an increase of three thou
sand cases of smallpox every week
The latest report showed the first
time that the increase had not been
greater east than west. A total of SO
cases was reported in California. of
which Is were in Los Angeles and "a
in San Francisco.
President Cooper had been inform
ed by business man returned from
San Francisco that there were not less
than thousand cases of smallpox in
that city. They knew how the press
of San Francisco would not publish
anything detrimental to the city. This
was shown by it's dealing with the
plague. Still. the Federal officers
would have no object in concealing
the truth. The disease was certainly
