Activity in OH Field.

Beaumont, Texas. Nov. PA spirit
of greater activity is on in the oil
field again. and contracts for wells are
being made with much more frequency
than was the case ten days ago. The
sale of acre on Spindle Top, as men
toned yesterday, is the only big deal
actually closed for several days, but
there are several others on and some
of them give promise of being con-
summated.
The correspondent is .eliably in
formed mat two or three railroads are
now figuring with Beaumont oil COM
panies on large contracts for oil to be
used as fuel for locomotives, and it is
liekly that some of these contracts
will be closed up during the present
month.
Seventy-nine cars of oil were shipped
out of the field yesterday, making a
total of 1859 cars for the month. 1t Is
estimated that the shipments being
made now are not supplying one-half OF
the actual demand. and the situation
be secured The fact that fuel users
are writing the railroad commission
that they cannot get oil because of the
shortage of cars is evidence that not
enough oil is being shipped to supply
the demand.

Waco. Texas, Nov. 22,-J. w Har-
rison was given four years in the pen
itentiary in Judge SCOTS court yester-
day afternoon on charge of bigamy.
He was married in 1896 and quit his
wife. and last year he was married
the second time without securing a
divorce. When he was put on the
stand he stated his first marriage was
not legal from the fact that 1t was
not approved by God and this was
made known to him in a revelation,
and hence he married the second time.
Insanity was the plea offered by Har-
rison's attorneys. Both the former
and the present wife were present at
the trial Harrison has preached over
many parts Of the State.

Forcing Cuba Toward Annexation.

New York. November 22.--Lleuten-
ant Commander Lucen Young has ar
rived here from Havana on leave. He
is captain of the port at that city and
has charge of all marine matters in
Cuba. In discussing the relations be-
tween Cuba and the United States he
expressed himself in favor of annexa-
ton, saying: THE economic conditions
of Cuba at the present time are worse
than ever in its history, even worse
than at the close of the ten year war.
Its sugar is being sold at $313 IA for
100 pounds, when 1T costs S370 per 100
pounds to raise it; 10 per cent of tile
tobacco crop is unsold and sweating in
the barn.. There is not candidate
booked for office in the senate or in the
congress who could sign his name for
SIS check.
"All the successful industries of Gu
ba are dependent on the United States
and annexation is the only salvation of
Cuba, for annexation means free trade
with us"

New York, November 22,--The ques-
ton of general strike of the French
miners, says the Paris correspondent
of the London Times and the New York
Times, is causing anxiety. Since the
reopening of the chambers the premier,
the minister of commerce and the min
lister of public works have been kept
busy with audiences in which they for
INFLATED their opinions. The labor ex-
changes ring nightly with speeches by
stump orators. The miners three de-
mands-shorter hous, more pay and
pension-would, IL granted, says the
correspondent involve an annual ex-
pense to the State of SO000000 francs.
The dispatch says it is evident that
the leaders of the miners take no real
interest in a complete settlement. The
mems demands, II granted, would in
eyitably cause the ruin of the majority
OF mine proprietors and shareholders.

The People Pay the Last Tax.
New Berne Journal.

New Berne Journal
Legislatures and municipalities
may put an extra tax on railroads.
and make the license tax excessive on
the circus. theatre or anything else,
and the State revenues will show an
increase from such taxation, but the
people after all, haze to pay every
excessive tax, be it on corporation or
any amusement.
An illustration, locally, OF this is
the case of the circus which was here
last week.
1t is not specially i'm portant to dis
cuss whether the circus takes away
all the money along the line of coun-
try where it exhibits. but if the Legis-
lature thought to tax out of coming.
the circus, it has failed Of its pur-
pose.
Not only does the circu. come, but
it pays the largely Increased aud
really excessive tax, State. county
and municipal, but it is as largely
patronized, and while it pays the
extra tax, the people who throng its
tents are made to pay the excess, by
increased cost of securing seats.
While the world lasts, the people
are going to be amused regardless OF
cost, and to place an extra tax on the
circus or theatre is not going 10
close up the theatre Or keep away the
circus.
But the excessive tax is liable TO
both make the plays inferior and the
circus exhibit poorer, while those who
90 to the theatre or circus must make
good the increased tax by paying
more for the ir amusement.
Unwise taxation costs the people
dearly. They are the sufferers in the
end

POINTS ON POLITENESS.
Helpful Hints for Young People to
Consider.

The following from an exchange is
worthy of the consideration of grown
persons As well rs young ones:
True politeness is thoughtfulness Of
others, their feelings, their conven-
fences, their comforts; it requires sup
preston Of self.
Giggling or tittsring in school or
company disturbs others, because it
may be At their expense, and contrary
to their state of feeling. 1t shows
weakness because lack of self-control
is indicated.
Loud talking or laughing in school
or company disturbs others, because
it compels them to share you. They
may not. probably do not, wish to.
1t is appropriating not only the room
but every one in it to yourself. Peo-
pie do not like to be appropriated
against their will.
Kindness to strangers or new pupils
is always in place, because you, in
being familiar with your surround
ings, have great advantages over
them; they are, therefore, at disad-
vantage, and this is never agreeable.
Laughing at the mistakes or blum
ders of others is one Of the grossest
forms OF i'll breeding, because it is a
kind of cruelty. See what person
laughs at If you would read his heart
Whispering at lectures, or places OF
amusement, or in public, is not mere
lv impolits, but it is accounted vul-
gar, because it is downright thieving.
Those around you have come and are
trying to listen to the exercises, and
yolNin preventing are as actually
stealing their time and privileges as il
you were rifing their pockets for
money. Nay, the case is worse; il
you were stealing their money they
could punish you, but they are utterly
defenceless against your stealing their
time and privileges. You are acting
the sneak thief.
Disrs.pect to ones elders Or sups-
riors in position, in tone, look or
manner, not on y affects them, but it
brings upon yourself the imputation
OF ignorance and coarsensss, and SO
endangers your own title to respect.
To look persons in the eye when
they speak TO you or when you speak
to them not only shows them respect,
but indicates self-respect on your
part. Hold up your face full and free
to your friends. Furtivs glances look
SO much like stealing they are called
stolen glances.
No one can be polite who is not as
polite to his parents and his OWL
| brothers and sisters as to strangers.
