toot the legislature had passed the bill
consolidating the Houston. Beaumont and
New Orleaus railroad with the luterna-
tioual and Great Northern, was received
by the officials here yesterday and they Of
course were pleased TO learn ot the success.
MIR. Trice who is IN ar his home hcre,
was very much clated and says that work
On the road win begin at once and be
pushed MS rapidly as possible, and that the
International aud Great Northern would
get into Beaumont Just as soon as II pos
sibly could. The right Of way for the new
road has nearly all been secured ami the
right OF way agents Of the road are now
IN the field closing M the few Gaps that
remain. This means great deal TO Fal-
estine, as It will make the International
and Great Northern one OF the biggest
systems I'm the South and will, OF course,
stimulate the growth OF the city by reason
OF the fact that the headquarters Of the
road are here.

PRECEDENT SET ASIDE.
Yale College Takes Unusual Action to
Crafty a Dying Student.


New Haven, Conn.,, June 18.-Thos.
Henry Curran, a member of the senior
class in the academy department of
Yale, was buried from st. Mary's Cath
olic church yesterday after an impress
sive service. Curran died of tuberculo-
sis at the home Of his parents in Lake
place, this city.
Today it became known that the
corporation Of Yale took unprecedented
action in order to crafty the dying
wish of the young man, who until jan
uary last, when his health broke down,
had stood among the first scholars of
his class
When he was told short time ago
that he could hope to live but a few
weeks he expressed a hope that he
might live just long enough to receive
his degree from Yale. This wish he re-
peated to his family and his physician
and the latter went to see President
Hadley and told him Of the facts In the
case.
Mr. Curran,'' said President Had
ley, shall have his degree even though
Yale shall have to break all rules to
give it to him."
A meeting of the corporation waE
called and on Tuesday last a report OF
the university carried to the young
mar the sheepskin with the great seal
OF Yale upon it and cum laude at
tached The young man smiled and
said TO his mother and sisters:
Now am ready to CO..

ADMIRAL ADDS 90 TONS
Sold Lace and Other Frills lnereas'
Burden of BattIeship.

Washington, June 1s.-The navy de-
partnent statisticians have decided
that the presence Of an admiral on
board battle-ship adds fifty tons to
that crafts weight.
In addition to the added presence of
his gold-laced staff, who are generally
large, well-fed, ample wasted gentle
men, the admiral must have an extra
boat for his own personal use, two ex-
ira bath tubs, one for his own use and
one for the use of the guests he is sup
posed to entertain, and a large number
Of flags, books and instruments that
are inseparable from the dignity Of the
commander Of the fleet.
The heavy thinkers of the department.
are now engaged upon the problem of
reducing this weight as far as possible
by cutting out such articles az can be
spared by the admiral. Up 4, date they
have got no farther than the extra
bath tubs, which they are inclined to
regard as an unnecessary luxury. 1t is
not absolutely necessary, they believe,
that the admiral and his guest should
bathe at the same time and the guest
should be willing to use the adniraps
tub,

THE CROP BULLETIN.
Weather Bureaus Report Does Not
Make a Very Good Showing.

washington, June 18.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop report says:
'The week ending June Is was alb
normally cool in nearly all districts
east of the Rocky mountains, the min
imum temperatures from the 10th to
the 18th throughout the central val
leys and southern states being the lows
est on record for -he second decade of
June; and heavy frosts We're general
in the upper Missouri valley, with
light frosts as far south as Tennessee.
Under these conditions the growth Of
vegetation has been slow, but with the
very general absence OF rain, or light
local showers in the central valleys,
the much needed cultivation has made
favorable progress.
'The long continued and disastrous
drought in the New England and
northern portion Of the NTiddle-Atlan
tic states has been wholly relieved, be-
ing succeeded in some sections by
flood conditions; and the widespread
forest fires in these districts are ex-
tinguished. While the planting and
replanting and cultivation of corn in
the central valleys have been vigor-i
ously pushed, considerable planting
remains unfinished In the northern
district. Corn Is unusually late and
nag Made very slow growth uT.e,
past week. The winter wheat har-
vest is in progress as far north as
southern Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, In
diana and Virginia. While an improve
ment in the condition of the crop is
indicated in northern Illinois, Ohio, and
over the northern portion of the middls;l
Atlantic states, it has suffered deter
ioration over large part Of the winter
wheat belt as result Of insects and
increasing rust.
Spring wheat is in generally thrifty
condition, but needs rain in portions Of
| the Dakotas.
Oats have made favorable advance
ment in tho lower Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys, but need rain in
the Dakotas.

TURKS CENSOR BIBLE.

Various Pretexts Seized Upon to Stop
Distribution of the Book.
New York, June 1S.-The cable dispatch
to the effect that the Turkish censor at
Constantinople had objected to the word
Macedonia IN the seventh verse Of the
first chapter of l. Thessalonians was con-
6rmed today by letter received al the
headquarters Of the American Bible so
ciety in this city from the Rev Marcellus
Bowen, the chief agent Of the society in
the Levant. The Rev. Mr.. Bovine, whose
headquarters are in Contantinople, writes
in part as follows:
1--WE are having serious difficulty in
Turkey with the department of public m
struction. The censors have objected to
the word Macedonia in the New Testa-
ment. Our applications for permits to get
out new editions have been subjected to
longer and more unreasonable delays
than ever before
One edition has been held up by the CEN
sors on account Of the word "here'' in
the thirteenth chapter second verse of
the gospel according to MarlS-"There
shall not be left here one stone upon an
| other that shall not be thrown down. re-
ferring to the temple in Jerusalem. The
censor's alleged reason, for objecting to
the word is that it does not appear in that
verse in previous editions.
Another trtf1e sezed upon by the censors
as a pretext for stopping the distribution
Of the bibles is marginal opposite the
| thirty-eighth verse of the sixth chapter of
the gospel according to John-'tFor I
came down from heaven, not to do mine
on will but the will of him that sent
me-" The marginal note explains that
the word "him" stands for the Father.
The superintendent of public instruction
In Turkey is Djedel Bey, who is a mem
Der of the privy council. It is not known
| here whether he or a subordinate is re-
sponsible for the present trouble. The
| diplomatic representative of this country
and of England will probably be asked to
explain to the grand vizier that the safe
| ty of Turkey does not require any revision
of Paul'S epistles
