Phenomenal Watson Was Entirely Too
Much for the CaWthons.
Beaumont, Texas, August 1.-THE Hous-
ton Cawthons came over and were badly
defeated today, with Watson pitching per
haps the worst game he has ye, turned out
since he has been here. The game be-
came embarrassing after the second Inning,
for the reason that he had the Houston hit
tiers at his mercy and the bese they could
do altogether was a two-bagger by Nc
Donald and two scratches. 1he visitors
had considerably the best of It in the UNI
piring but thought they were being mis-
treated from the fact that they had never
been against the new curve balls used by
Watson and were unable TO IND MIN.
Their kicks were certainly not well found
ed, while on the other hand the umpire
gave Watson the worst OF It from the
opinion OF those In the grandstand directly
behind the home plate.
The features Of the game were the fast
work of Angus Mcdonald for Houston and
also the work of Hays in right. Hunt
made a favorable impression at short. Scar
borough did some fast work with the ex-
ception of his tumble, the only error for
Petit the popular catcher, did the best
work outside of Watson, though Speedy
Eldridge did some very fast, clean work at
second and laced out three clean hits Wat
son made two-bagger and Petit and
Bryant hit well. Petit received quite an
Denny Lyons was strong at first base.
Hunchie. the regular Beaumont catcher,
had a hand broken last sunday and could
not play today but umpired.

ROOSEVELT AND PARTY
Representative NewIands of Nevada
Says They Are Not 10 Harmony.

Not the Republican Platform"
Especial to The rost.l

Washington August 17.--Representative
Newlands OF Nevada Is the latest recruit
to the harmonizing influences at work IN
the democratic party,
II believe the prospect for democratic
harmony is good" writes Mir. Newands in
a personal letter just received here. Dur
ing 1896 aud 1900 the democratic party
was passing through an acute crisis 1t
was endeayoring TO throw on the control
of the men who really were more in sym.
patty with republican than democratic
policy, and who were disposed TO favor
lawless wealth rather than to protect law
abiding wealth and the eHdeaVurs OF the
masses TO secure prosperity aud bappi-
ness. That was period necessarily Of
much recrimlnation and dlsquietude.
II believe that what we require is har.
mony OF sentiment IN tho party rather
than the apparent harmony that Is pro.
duced by placating those who ll1er with
us In our views and thus attempting TO
secure both. Nothing can be accom-.
plished. by endeavoring to secure the sup.
policies TO our own"
In his letter Mr.. Newlands takes up
the subject Of the republican party and
dent Roosevelt and his party uro not In

Roosevelt In his message and his Pittsburg
speech as indication OF its antitrust pro,

Mr.. Roosevelt's views are but what the
views Of the republican party are on this
question; and. above all what the action
of the republican party has been during
its six years Of power just passed | re-
gard Mr.. Roosevelt as pre-eminent In the
republican party for sincerity, eArnestnass
and courage, but Mr.. Roosevelt Is not the
platform of the republican party. He was
never elected president OF the United
States
Mr., Newlands continues to say that
President Roosevelt was nominated for the
vice presidency at the instance OF New
York republicans who wanted to get rid
OF reform governor because ne had sought
TO impose reasonable taxes upon the great
wealth OF that State and that II was not
the nction OF the republican party that

Outside Of the radical question Of party

Corbctt lives In retirement on a small
farm In Bayside, and spends much OF his
time In his garden. Yesterday he was
coming from the further end of the farm.
and was driving along the road, clad IN
blue Jeans overalls and an old farmers hat
He noticed three soldiers coming toward
him, but paid no attendo 20 them. when
the soldiers came up to the supposed farmer
they made Insulting remarks about him.
Corbett overheard the remarks tied his
horse to a tree on the roadside and went
up the road after the soldiers. He over
took them before they had gone far, ana
asked them why they he'd used such IAN
guage 10 him.
For answer one OF the soldiers struck Cor

Of the Story"
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers OF America was unable to be pres
ent on account of the serious situation IN
the anthracite fields.
MIR. Gompers declared that the labor Of
young and innocent children is the great
evil that needs reformation
MANY States, particularly In the South,
have no law whatever to prevent the prac.
tice. Men get rich" he declared. From
the labor Of children, whose bones are
ground Into almighty dollars It Is sad
commentary. Men walk the streets IN
dleness in the textile districts while the
mills are filed with busy children. Instead
Of labor being crowned with honor and
dignity, its rightful heritage, 1t Is a Ques.
ton of how much labor can be squeezed
out Of the laborers and how little wages he
can be forced to accept In return"
Mr., Gompers discussed the question Ct
shorter hours at length declaring the coun
tries of long hours were decidedly back
ward and denied the allegation that the
movement to shorten hours meant the deca-
dencc of the United States a a great pro
duclng power.
Mr.. Gompers predicted the success of the
anthracite coal strike.

Louisiana State University,

The Iberian received this week
the annual catalogue of the Louis
lana State University and Agricul
turaI and Mechanical College with
the compliments of its president
Col Thos d. Boyd.
The session Of 19o2-3 will open
on Wednesday September p. with
faculty of thirty professors and
instructors, and bids fair to being
most successful in the his DRY of
the School. The attendance last
session, however, was remark
able Improvement over the pre-
yious one. The figures for last
session are as follows: There was
one post graduate i'll attendance,
81 seniors, ~ juniors, 50 sophom-
ores, 12G freshmen, 162 sub-fresh-
men and thee special student;
making total attendance of 42O
pupils.
A number Of improvements on
the grounds and in the buildings
have taken place III the past few
years, and this summer the Hill
Memorial Library is being built
it will be completed in December.
The University has also added an
Iexcellent sewerage system of its
own, by which all refuse matter
is emptied into the Mississippi
River. All the barracks buildings
are supplied with water from the
large artesian wells supplying the
city of Baton Rouge. The purity
of that water has been established
by chemical analysis and long use
and has never been questioned
The grounds are covered almos1
perpetually with rich green grass
and shaded by large oaks. Ger
| tainly no more beautiful campus
can be found in the South.
The school is a good one in evey
respect. The majority of promien
men in Louisiana are graduates o
the State University, and 1t vii

An Aid To Self Help.

Some Of the people Of the South
have feared that outside aid to
education would be offered as a
charity. Such is not the case.
The correct principles are clearly
stated in the Worlds Work, which
says, .The principles that have
been carefully worked out by ex.
perience and have been demon
strated as scientific in this whole
matter of educational aid are
these:
"a It is worth while to help
those who help themselves, and
only those.
(2) 1t is best worth while to
help the public that helps itself,
because by building up public
sentiment a permanent Investment
is made in democracy
These simple principles clear
the atmosphere and open the way
to work of lncalculable value. In
the first place there is no place
left for mendicancy.nor condescen.
sion. nor for missionary work.
The faint of charity is removed.
1t has been proved over and
over again that in such communi-
ties whatever be the cause Of
their back wardness, a great and
lasting service may be done by
helping the public that helps it.
