ing capacity. Rev. Fitzgerald Sc
lected for bis text the 18th verse
of the Goth chapter of the Acts,
and expressed his desire that the
congregation grasp the truth con-
tanned in this passage. He said
if people would only realize that
Christ is doing everything posi-
bic to save men, while the devil
was doing all in his power pres
ent to prevent it, there would be
no trouble.
He showed from scriptural quo
tations the tactics employed by
Satan to keep people away from
Christ. By closing their eyes
against their own danger.
He blinds the minds of those
that see not and keeps the light
of the gospel out.
Our understanding is darkened
that we may be alienated from
God.
He hardens the hearts of the
people.
Will lead q man until he will
absolutely take the life of a hui
man soul.
At last he gets such control of
men that they surrender their
will to him.
The speaker told of the dark
path of such life, and explained
how Christ had come to the res
cue of the world if men would
only accept Him before it was
too late; would but let the light
of the glorious gospel into his
heart.
Quite a number gave their hand
for prayer, and several profess
sions were made at the close of
the service.

ORIENT'S COMING.
All Doubts Becoming Gradually Ex-
tinct and Supplemented by Gem
erai Feeling of Confidence.

The Doubling Thomas plural
number) is condition, not a
theory, that confronts all great
undertakings. He has no conf
dence in anything, belonging to
that class who are always ready
to deluge any proposed enterprise
with water at low temperature.
He is never a booster, nor a root
er; sees nothing but the dark side,
has never word of encourage
ment, has no hope, but is compos-
ed and constituted of all the small,
minute atoms which enter into
the composition of the typical,
thoroughbred, registered, blown
in-the-bottle, and branded on the
hide "knocker.
Talk to him, argue with him,
attempt to reason, and it is a
mere waste of breath-he is not
open to conviction. His only re-
ply is you've got to Show me
first" and he is of the kind who
wont tumble unless brick house
or some other object of considef-
able avoirdupois is precipitated
upon him.
The latter must have recently
happened as to the coming of the
Orient, for he is no longer in evil
dence. He must have been buried
in some such fashion and, Let us
hope, will soon rise, Phoenix-like
from the debris of doubt and join
in the general and joyful acclaim
of happy and confident souls who,
are the salt of the earth-the es-
sence of all achievements.
The recent activity in San An
gelo real estate was, as The Press
has heretofore said, no doubt due
to the general confidence in the
early advent of the Orient to San
Angelo, Such it must have been.
for there was such large number
of purchasers that their invest.
ments could not possibly have,
been made in consequence of any
'private tips " ~".''.
An experienced and we'll known
railroad man, who knows the ms
and outs, the signs, and tokens in
railroad matters, and who can
put two and two together" and
arrive at logical conclusion with
absolute certainty, ventured the
opinion to a Press man that the
Orient would be doing business in
San Angelo next spring. The
comparative statement of bust
ness done by the Santa Fe at this
and other points, recently given
out, is in itself tempting induce
ment to the Orient company to
expedite construction and equip
ment to this point at the earliest
possible moment, and it is but
reasonable to assume thet such
will be done. In fact, The Press
learns that the company is at
present negotiating with a con-
tractor accustomed to handling
large jobs of railroad building,
for grading and track laying on
the entire stretch of its road from
Sweetwater, via San Angelo to
Preside, in Preside county, at
the mouth of the Mexican Concho
river where it empties into the
Rio Grande.
: There are other straws pointing
to the early arrival of the Orient
in San Angelo which can be dis
cerned by any whose mental Wis
ion extends beyond the circum-
scribed area of limited horizon,
but it is fruitless and unneces-
sary task to attempt ''to show
the blind.

SAN SABA IRRIGATION.

SAN SABA IRRIGATION.
Prof. Taylor, in addition to his
university duties, is residence
photographer of the United States
geological survey and has just re-
turned from San Saba county,
where he has been investigating
the water supply of the San Saba
river with reference to irrigation
and motive power. Prof. Taylor's
field of operations cover the
State of Texas from the Trinity
river to Ell Paso, and the San
Saba investigation is only a
small part of the immense work
before him. He said that the
consideration of the matter of
water supply for cities is out of
his line, though he is sometimes
consulted on this point
In connection with the San
Saba river investigation" said
prof Taylor, my line of work will
include the whole channel from
Fort McKavett to the junction
with the Colorado river, but my
regent operations were confined
to the valley in San Saba county,
which to my mind presents an
ideal location for a miniature re-
public, when the plans for the
irrigation of that section are con-
summated. This valley, III
which the town of San Saba is
situated, is broad and almost
level, and an area of over 10000
acres of land will be rendered
blooming and fertile by the sys-
tenn of projected canals"
Storage by Dams.
Seventeen miles above the
town the river energies from a
deep canyon and at this point
the construction of a series of
dams will be instituted, which
will store up an immense supply
of water in n natural reservoir
and be fed to the valley below by
the canals. The scheme is backed
almost entirely by home capital
and will require about $25, 900 to
bring it to perfection. The val
ley is beautiful and is about 25OO
feet above the sea level and only
requires the assistance of man to
aid nature in converting it into
the garden spot of Texas. Being
situated beyond the reach of mar
kets for many products the crops
will be confined principally to
feed stuffs which are necessary to
supply the cattle ranches of that
section. The corn crop will
possibly be the main staple; and
to make a comparison, saw irri-
gated land in the valley which
produced sixty-five bushels per
acre, while unirrigated land ad-
joining would hardly yield a
bushel per acre. !"

EVANGELIST FITZGERALD
Delivered a Sermon Sunday After
noon, Especially to Men.
An Able Discourse.

AS previously announced, Evan
gelist Fitzgerald preached espec-
iaily to the men Sunday alter
noon, but from the language used
the fact would not have been
recognized, as the subjects usual
ly injected into such discourses
we're conspicuously absent, and
nothing but refined sentiment
eminated from the lips of the
speaker. Those who attended
through the usual curiosity, in
spired by the announcement OF a
sermon to men only" were dis
appointed, and we would believe
agreeably SO.
The subject used as a basis for
the discourse was, u Contest Be-
tween the Demands of the Law
and the Gospel" He called at
tention to the conditions of the
requirements of the gospel as
compared with that of law, and
demonstrated that while the for
mer was more exacting III its ma
ture, yet It's fulfilment was rem
dered much easier by the aid of
that Divine Grace gwen to those
who obey, that grace which en-
abled the Christian to joyfully
overcome all things at all TIMES.
The law imposed conditions, but
provided no means to assist in
compliance Herewith The law
of nations provided tax levies,
but appropriated no means for
their payment. But, not { so
with the gospel. The penalty. of
the law has been paid. BY Grace
we are saved, and that grace is
the gift of God. The fultillment
of the conditions of the gospel is
made easy by this Divine provis-
ion. The speaker touchingiy re-
ferred TO the beauties of gospel
of mercy as compared with u Jaw
of demands. The gospel furnish
ed mercy to a sinful world, while
the law recognized only justice.
The gospel freely pardoned, the
law demanded penalty for DISC
bedience. The gospel would for
give, but under the law u man
must reap the reward of his way
wardness. Under the gospel,
man has but to repent and re-
nounce his sins, while the law
recognizes no reformation and re-
quires the punishment provided.
His remarks were strengthened
by apt illustrations, and he held
the undivided attention of his
hearers throughout the sermon.
He pleaded with those present
who were unsaved to renounce
their allegiance to the old law
and accept citizenship. in the
kingdom of Christ, where grace
and mercy abound, and where
pardon may be obtained. ~

Recital by Mrs. Sherwood's Pupils.

The event of the season, in the
yay of recitals, took place last
Wednesday night at the home OF
the instructress, Mrs. A. b.
Sherwood. The program, which
was an unusually interesting one,
was well carried out by the bright
little pupils, ably assisted by
Judge Joseph Spence with his fine
voice. When this debutant in
the musical world rose to favor
the audience with his first num-
Der, he calmly informed his hear
ers that he was prepared for a
encore" which he received to the
echo. The applause dying away,
he, with many becoming bushes,
gave his second number, which
was also received with great en-
thusiasm. When the program
was finished, Judge Spence, in u
neat little speech, presented, in
behalf of Mrs. Sherwood, a hand
some gold medal to Margaret
Wright for application and great
est progress.
This yearly presentation of n
medal has proven great stimu-
lus and, although but one could
win, yet all the pupils have been
diligent and worked faithfully,
as their playing Wednesday night
gave evidence.
Pleasant refreshments we're
passed by daintily attlred little
maids, after which, the spacious
floors and the music proving ire
sistible to the younger ones, they
enjoyed themselves to the fullest
in the dance until late hour.

Two Supreme Court Decisions Against Trusts

Court proceedings applying the
Sherman Antitrust law to railroad
combinations began with the famous
trans. Missouri case brought against a
railway pool known as the Trans.
Missouri Freight Association, which
through a central committee fixed and
enforced rates for all the railroads in
that section of the country. In 1892
and 1898 the lower courts decided in
favor OF the railroads.
These decisions were reversed on
March 90, 1897, by the United States
Supreme Court, which declared the
pool Illegal, ruling as follows:
The agreement on its face recites
that II is entered into for the purpose
OF mutual protection by establishing
and maintaining reasonable rates,
rules and regulations on all freight
traffic both through and local" To
that end the association is formed and
a body created which is to adopt rates,
which, when agreed to, are to he the
governing rates for all the companies,
and violation of which subjects the
defaulting company to the payment of
a penalty, and although the parties
have a right to withdraw from the
agreement on giving thirty days no
tice Of desire so to do, yet while in
force, and assuming It to be lived up
to, there can be no doubt that its di.
rect. immediate. and necessary effect
is to put a restraint upon trade or
commerce as described in the act. For
these reasons the suit OF the Govern.
ment can be maintained without proof
