Beaumont, Texas, April l6.-Duriug the
mouth OF December beaumont began an
aggressive campaign for an appropriation
for the beginning of the deep water canal
to connect the Nechcs river with the
sabine Pass deep water to the gulf. The
fact that the appropriation was made nrst
for 5000 aud then raised through the eff
Iorts of Congressman Cooper and Senators
Bailey aud Culbcrson TO $4,000 as a
starter FOR the work has been noted from
time to time In the columns OF The Post
but the explanation Of just what 1t is has
been uncertain 10 good many people and
in connection with the copy Of tho dis
patch which comes later 1t may be well
10 state that the canal VIII he butt from
Tayior's bayou to the \echcs and sabine
rivers, distance to the Hrst river OF about
seven miles, This is covered by pro
vision, however, that the Port Arthur
Canal company agrees TO let commerce
pass unrestricted through It's canal and
II it does not agree to this then the canal
is to be started directly from deep water
at the Pass
In connection with this the following

Divorce Among the Rich.

''It is among the rich-or. at any rate,
in classes above the so5called working
c1asses-that divorces most frequently
take place.
Opponents of divorce laws not infre-
quently urge in support of their position
the manv marriages and divorces of GER
tain popular actresses. l think the mat
rimonial habits of actors and actresses
should not be permitted to complicate the
modern problem of divorce. The kaleido-
scopic alliances of Miss Blank give the
ordinary sober citizen moral vertigo. He
usually knows little about the men whose
very names the footlight lady disdains.
The whole transaction has an appearance
of unreality and Vulgarity that is dis
gushing" says Rev. Percy S. Grant in
AinSlee's
Children are guardians Of the home.
Where there are few or no children in
the family there are many lurking dan
gers. These dangers are more frequent
among the rich than the poor. A church
in New York attended by many people of
wealth undertook to have Sunday
school for the children of these persons,
because there was some objection made
to regular Sunday school on the ground
that it was filled with poor children from
the tenementS But 1t was discovered tina I
there were in the whole parish onIv twen-
tv-nine children of Sunday school age
from homes of wealth. and five of these
were in one family. Family life suffers
intellectually from limitation of its num-
bers. The maternal instinct. even in a
wife who believes she lacks it, f. a rest,
less force that leads to many dangerous
quests and is often responsible for conju-
gal alienation.
''But not only is the natural hunger Of
a woman's nature satisfied by children.
In taking care of them she has a soothing
and engrossing occupation If she will be
truly mother Moreover. when a strain
comes between husband and herself she
is strong in the strength Of her children.
Their companionship and their 1nspira-
ton help her to stand firm and to be pa
tent and without authority or love to dn
what she considers her duty.

The St Paul Choral club will COM
mence its third year of existence without
deficit and with all it's old officers, for
the latter were elsctal at the annua-G
meeting of the club held last night III
the guild house of Christ church. In
spite of the repeated refusals of Fred
erick Helm to serve another year as pres
ident, and in spite of a last refusal eX-
pressed in no uncertain terms last night
at the meeting the members of the club
decided that it was necessary for the well
fare of the club that its president be
retained and lie was unanimously re-
elected. Mr.. Helm submitted TO this ig-
noring Of his wishes with very good
grace, ana in a neat little speech thanke d
the club for the compliment paid him.
The other officers are: Vice president,
Mrs. Henry Downs; recording secretary
Miss Nellie A. Hope; treasurer, Charles
E. Soaring; corresponding secretary, Mr..
w A MerrilIi librarian, S. Perry; as
sistant librarian. Myron Mcmillan.
Mr.. Soaring. in his report as treas
urer, stated that the box office receipts
for the first concert given this season
by the club amounted to $344.75, for the
second 500 and for the third $26750. The
toal receipts when the report was made
out amounted to $271.O5, but not all
ticket holders have made returns so that
it is probable when all sums due the
club shall have been paid the receipts
shall not fall below the disbursements,
which amounted to $3.50 for the year
Miss Hope read the secretary's report.
1t pointed out the fact that the desire
to make the work of the club a distinct
and important feature of the mus cal
and educational growth of the city had
been greatly appreciated by the musical
and literary people. The club had made
reputation to be envied and now COM
manded the respect and recognition of
any and all clubs in the East and nearer
home. Miss Hope announced that the
associate members of the club numbered
202 and the active 175.
Next Years Plans.
In considering plans for next year
George H. bennington, the clubs mu~
steal director suggested that it might
be wise to limit the number of concerts
to two these two to be OratorioS. He
also suggested that some test should be
demanded of all future applicants for
active membership in order that the club
might be assured of good vocal material.
Those present were unanimously in favor
of adopting the latter suggestion. In re-
gard to limiting the number Of concerts
o two. the matter was taken under adj
might be extremely difficult to hold the
attention of the active members through
out the season should only two concerts
be given. Those present last night eX-
pressed themselves as beng UNANIMOUSLY
in favor of the club giving the Mes
sah'' next year.
Before adjourning a vote of thanks
was extended Secretary Grace, of the
Y NJ. c. A., for courteous assistance
rendered the club, and to the press.

Lieut.. Ewing had a secret service to
perform near his station. The job would
require two weeks of his time; but mas
much as the town was something of Il
watering place and, as he knew, fairly
filled with guests, he had no fear Of
dying from ennui. Girls were sure to be
there, and with the gentIer sex Ewing
generally held his own, and sometimes a
part belonging to someone else.
He was dashing fellow He had the
true military bearing, the soldiers walk,
the athletes carriage, eyes as blue as
the emerald sky, face that denied he
was Of plebeian birth, and a forehead
that denoted intelligence He needed no
one to tell him that he was good looking
At Attica. his point of destination, he
registered as Giovan Colbert. There
wasn't much of a purpose in conceaiing
his identity. Still his home village was
not Sc very far away, and at certain
times in his life he had said things to
young women of his community that led
them to believe he was very much in love
with them and really wanted to marry
when such thing was not true at ALL
Perhaps some Of his escapades were still
fresh in the minds of those about him.
News travels fast and bad reports linger
paln1ully long. PERHAPS SOLu0 OIL his lir-
tations were known to the guests of this
resort Therefore, to be on the safe side
he would conceal his identity for the
time being.
He had not been in the village more
than two days before he saw a dream of
a woman. She possessed all the graces
which belong to her sex. Certainly she
was beautiful of face and figure. She
dressed differently from the other won-
en- her laugh had mirth to it, her eyes
had the light of a June morning. Try
as he might, Ewing could not get an in
PRODUCTION to her. She seemed to have
few acquaintances. Her walks were made
alone, and when she rowed on the little
no one else in the boat with her. Her
greatest delight seemed to be in the
practice with bow and arrow, and in
this she was quite an expert.
Five days after Ewing's arrival one
OF her arrows pierced his coat as he
lay hidden behind a foliage Of honey
suckles Instantly he was on his feet,
and she, seeing what had happened,
seemed for the moment quite dismayed.
But the accident gave the soldier the
chance he had been looking for She
hastened an apology, and he in turn
made little of the incident. Indeed, the
arrow had done 20 further harm than
to make a hole In his coat. Ewing would
have been willing for it to have penetrat-
ed his skin-aye, to have taken off a
piece of flesh From that morning their
courses took shape rapidly enough. He
lost no time in placing his devotions at
her feet. He sang for her In glorious
