HISTORY.


ganzed and incorporated under the laws
of Texas October 10, 1901, with capitali-
cation of 100000 simultaneously with
the incorporation it came into possession
of 81 Oi0 acres iluminant and lubricating
oil lands. located in Atascosa, Live Oak
and McMullen Counties, Texas.
A limited allotment of stock was offered
for public subscription in Boston October
2S 1901 This allotment was exhausted
November 22nd, and the second allotment
was exhausted December 30. and the third
allotment found ready purchasers among
the most conservative investors of New
England.
The great work of the corporation at
tracted SO much attention, and there was
such a general demand for its stock in all
financial centres, that branch offices were
opened in New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Pittsburg. January 1st, and these
are maintained in order to place the cor
poration in close touch with the great
financial centres of the country.
On March 18th last the stock was ad-
vanced to $1.25 per share, April 10Th it
goes TO So aud before the month Of May
is many days old it will reach three times
its par value.
Development work in our vast oil do
main has progressed to such an extent
that the fact is now conceded by the press
of Texas and well-posted people through
out the country generally, that this cor.
poration is in control of. if not the great
est at least one of the worlds greatest
treasury bonanzas.
This is history-the record to which we
point with commendable pride!

TOBACCO COUPONS.
Great Revival Of Plan to Induce Trade
for Particular Brands

From hundreds of letters received by the
tobacco division OF the internal revenue
bureau there are indications of a great re-
vival In the plan Of placing coupons, tick
cts, tags, etc, with manufactured tobacco
to induce trade for this or that brand.
The tobacco division has been having con-
siderable correspondence on the subject. A
circular was sent out last month telling
exactly what could and what could not be
used In the way of promises for prizes.
This circular has had the effect of causing
endless inquiry for details. Summed up,
the result of the instructions sent out in
the letters to tobacco manufactu is
that nothing can go in a statutory pac age
OF tobacco except advertising matter. cards,
tickets, coupons, tin tags. etc, and all of
these must bear the location, trade mark
name OF goods and registered number Of
factory.
There is no objection by the internal reve-
nue. bureau to gift enterprises by the man
ufacturers of cigars, cibarettes, chewing
ana smoking tobacco so long as there Is no
element of lottery contained in the enter
prise For instance, the internal revenue
does not consider that there is any lottery
IN coupons or tickets which call for re-
demption in certain article upon accumu-
lation Of SO many tickets or coupons. Two
things insisted upon by the bureau is that
there must be no indication of a lottery in
the business and that no merchandise or
The bureau is just winding up final pay
ments of rebates of tobacco taxes under
the act of March 2, 1901. when the taxes
imposed on account of the war with Spain
We're reduced. About 5000 claims have
been settled or will be settled within a few
days, and the payments in rebates amount
nearly to the total appropriated by Con-
greSs, S3,150,OO0. The bureau is now being
overwhelmed with claims arising under the
repeal of the war revenue act At the rate
of LOCO claims a day have been coming in
for a while to secure a rebate of 3 Clio
cents per pound on tobacco and snuff. This
rebate is necessary on goods on which the
taxes had been paid when the war revenue
act was repealed and at the close of the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1902. Congress
appropriated s.. 100000 to pay these refunds.
1t is expected that the total will be great
er than that. Mr.. Jones, the chief of the
tobacco revision, will soon begin settling
these claims and hopes to dispose of them
so as to have the last settled by February
!. If the appropriation made by Congress
is not sufficient to pay all the claims
deficiency appropriation will be asked by
the Secretary of the Treasury, on Mr.
Jones recommendation, to pay the balance.
1t is not believed that the appropriation is
sufficient to meet the claims, which promise
to aggregate more than $4,000, and will
possibly run to 5000.

Charles M. schwab Spends His Time
Visiting Friends,

NEW YORK, August 2O-Charles M
Schwab. president Of the United States
Steel Corporation, who arrived here last
night. took breakfast today at the Lor-
raine. where he has apartments. He said
he was feeling very well. and that he ex-
pected to visit his Office during the day.
1t is understood that Mr.. Schwab will sail
for Europe on Saturday.
Mr.. Schwab went to the office of the
United States steel corporation, where he
remained for time. and then went to the
banking house Of J. P. Morgan & Co.
where he had a conference with Mr.. Nor
gan. The conference lasted about an hour.
Nothing concerning it was made public
+. II. Gary, chairman of the executive
committee of the steel corporation, made
the following statement today:
President Schwab spent considerable
time in my office this morning and also in
his own office, and al the bank of ]. P
Morgan & Co. He is looking well and
hearty.
There seems to be no doubt that he will
soon be completely restored to health We
are all insisting that he take a much-needed
rest During the last fifteen months he
has had charge of more responsibility than
one person should assume. However he
has so systematized the business of the
company that 1t will not suffer during his
absence. He will probably sail within a
day or two, and will take with him the best
wishes of all his associates

NEW SEAL ROOKERY.
Discovery Made in the Aleutian Is
lands.

Captain Shoemaker of the revenue cutter
service has received report from Captain
Charles H Mcclellan. commanding the cut
ter Manning, recording the discovery of a
new fur seal rookery in the Aleutian Is
lands The Manning went TO the Aleutian
Islands in accordance with instructions
from Captain Shoemaker. who had received
information through the natives Of the ex-
istence of seal herd near the western end
of the long chain of islands. While cruis-
ing among the islands early In July. as the
executive officer of the Manning. Lieut.
Berthoff Went ashore with boats crew on
the Island of Bouldyer. There he found
rookery of fur seals similar to those found
on the Pribioff Islands. Bouldyer is be-
tween BerirG and the Pacific ocean,
fully $500 miles west Of San Francisco, but
still within American jurisdiction. Lieut..
Berthoff approached the herd closely enough
To observe that none Of the seals had been
branded and there was no sign that white
men in search of fur seals had erer been
near the island.
The Manning will continue scar hing to
discover if there are other rookerles in that
locality. The suggestion is made that these
islands may be one of the rendezv DIS of
the fur seal during their absence from the
Pribilnff Islands. The discovery is cOnsid-
cred important by the officials here in view
of the gradual decline of the fur seal on
the PribiIoff Islands.

STRIKERS KEPT AWAY

TAMAQUA, Pa, August 20.-The battal-
ION OF the 18th Regiment encamped at Ma
Mia Park. near here, spent quiet and I'M
eventful nigh. A heavy guard was thrown
around the camp in expectation that an at
tempt might be made to stone the sentries,
but the precaution was unnecessary, as
none of the strikers ventured near the
camp during the night.
Today the striking miners strung a cor
don of guards on the outside of the sentry
line of the camp. They say they have done
this to better protect the soldiers and to
Keep their own men out of the camp, as
the leaders say they have no business
there.
General Goblin will return to Shenandoah
tonight but it is probable he will come
here on Thursday, the day on which Sharp,
the strike leader, who was killed on Mon
day evening, will be buried.
Letter From President Baer.
WILkESBARRE, Pa, August GOV. F.
Clark. photographer Of this city, recently
addressed a letter to President Baer of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany appealing to him as a Christian to
settle the miners strike. The writer said
If Christ was taken more into our business
aHairs there would be less trouble in the
world. and that if Mr.. Baer granted the
strikers slight concession they would glad
ly return to work and the president of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany would have the blessing of God and
the respect of the nation.
President Baer replied as follows:
Il see you are evidently biased in your
religious views in favor Of the right of the
Workingman to control business in which
he has no other interest than to secure
falr wages for the work he does 1 beg
OF you not to be discouraged. The rights
and interests Of the laboring man will be
protected and cared for not by the labor
ag1tators, but by the Christian men to
whom God, In His infinite wisdom, has
given the control of the property interests
of the country.
Pray earnestly that the right may tri-
umph. always remembering that the Lord
God omnipotent still reigns. and that His
reign is one of law and order, and not Of
violence and crime"
WILkEsBARRE. Pa, August 20.-The
Warnke washery at Duryea resumed op-
erations this morning under strong
guard. The works are surrounded by dep
uty sheriffs and coal and iron police The
strikers have not gathered in any large

FRANCE ON EVE OF CRISIS
Another Conflict Between the Masses
and Glasses Feared.

The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Times says that the expulsions of the nuns
from France have been about completed
but the feeling which the governments ac-
tion aroused has been by no means allayed
On the contrary, it is feared that the riots
which attended the closing of the converts
may be followed by something more seri-
Gus. namely. a struggle Of the masses
against the classes.
In speech at Besancon. Trouillot, the
minister of commerce declared that Brit
tany was being turned into focus of roy-
alist insurrection by false rumors. Men
but half liberated from the aristocratic
yoke, he said, were being excited by these
reports. He accused the royalists of MAX
Ing false and incendiary speeches, while a
large number Of public officials, he said.
showed reactionary spirit.
He further declared that the middle class
which he asserted was formerly Voltairean
was becoming clerical under The influence
of the Jesuits.
The Times correspondent says there were
some home truths in this philippic, but the
warning may be premature. He points ont
that the essentially middle class bodies. the
departmental councils. sided with the gov
ernment In the controversy over the expul-
sion of the orders.

tor The estate included real property OF

the past year he has only paid her in small
sums of SlD and s12 at a tine.
