HE WALKED.

The editor Of the Corpus Christi
Caller considered it worth while to
note in his paper that President
Hudson, of the S. 4. & a. P. rail-
road, while in Corpus last week,
went all over town, even walked
up the dump and over the old
abandoned piece Of road which
at one time connected the Arkansas
Pass and Texas Mexican tracks on
the bluff" If our memory is not
treacherous, when Mr.. Hudson was
in Brownsville we saw him walking
in several places. He "even walked
10 the railroad office to take the
train for Point Isabel, and when he
got there we are informed that he
actually walked, and with
out holp-down to the pier and
walked on board ship. He walked
on the seashore and walked up to
the hotel, and then walked back to
the depot where he returned to
Brownsville. He walked to call on
his friends in Brownsville, and
there were other men walking with
him, large, strong, full grown men;
they all walked. Evidently they
seemed to believe their feet and legs
were intended for use in walking.
Strangest OF all, President Hudson,
''even walked" up stairs in the Mil
Ter hotel, where he engaged rooms,
and then walked down again. And
while walking he was always smil-
ing and sociable as though such ex-
ercise agreed with him. He walked
about like he was perfectly familiar
with the custom and enjoyed it,
which no doubt he did. President
Hudson has the appearance of a
gentleman of rational and demo-
cratic tastes. Because his business
is to provide modes of travel for
Others is no reason that he should
ride wherever he goes himself. 1t
was not remarkable that he walk
ed up an old dump, but it would
have been strange had he under
taken to ride up the embankment.

Of clergymen's rates in which all

ed to be engaged exclusively in

ton will be understood when it is
explained that Primitive Baptist

Woman, Past And Present.
ritter for TnE HELD:

Three young men were greatly
surprised last Sunday evening to
hear the pastor of the Episcopal
church, of this city, tell his con-
gregation that woman was a mere
plaything previous to Christianity,
and that the women of the present
do not show enough gratitude for
the benefits they have received from
the Christian church.
Such a gross error is only due to
a careless handling of the truth, or
astotal ignorance of many indisput-
able facts. We would like to know
if this pastor has ever heard of the
brick libraries of Assyria having
been uncarthed, or of the strange
Gums finding an interpreter? Even
Darkest Africa has been opened to
the light. But perhaps our reverend
sir does not read the papers. The
science of philology unfolds to US
the history of peoples so completely
lost that no other monument of
their past remains.
With a little careful study on
these lines the average man will
soon make himself acquainted with
conditions OF early peoples, their
laws, customs, habits, religion,
COMPRISING order and rank in the
state, the rules of descent, name,
property, the Circumstances of fam
lily life, the position of mother,
father, children, their temples and
priestIy orders. All this has been
investigated and a new historic
basis has been established by
modern thinkers.
Never has research been so
thorough, or long lost knowledge so
fully given to the world. And all
these records prove that woman
had acquired liberty under the old
civilizations. A form of society
existed at an early age known as
the "Matriarchate, or Mother Rule.
Under the Matriarchate woman was
first in all things, her son and
next and the husband
last. Mother and children were
first in each others esteem on ac-
count of their blood relationship.
Woman held all superior positions
and was the controlling power in
the government; and never was
justice more perfect.
The story of Moses will convince
Us that woman was more than a
mere playthiRg previous to Christi
anity. when the Egyptian princess
found baby Moses, she did not only |
preserve the infants life hut car

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-The Chron-

house Of Brown Brothers q Co. has
closed it's account with the under

capitalists which were organized last
year to facilitate the purchase and
consolidation of the several San Fran

dictate were delivered in New York on
Monday and local subscribers who
have asked that their bonds be sent

accounting and settlement by the syn

fairs of the underwriting syndicate
and is the closing transaction in the
big S27,0000 deal by which nearly
all the street railway properties in
San Francisco were acquired from
former owners and consolidated in the

Objection.

consideration of morning business in

bridge across the Allegheny river at

nothing in the act should be held to
apply to substances manufactured and
sold exclusively for use in the arts and
industries but only when manufactured
and sold as drugs or foods. Consider

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do

They cure biliousness, jaundice, con-
stipation and inactive livers, by
arousing the secretions, moving the
bowels gently, yet effectually, and
giving such tone and strength to
the glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble
is removed entirely. These famous
little pills exert decided tonic effect
upon the organs involved, and if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the
trouble. j. r. Kruger.

CONFERENCES CONTINUE.
Early Settlement of Venezuelan Trou.
BILE Expected.

Washington, Feb. Count Quadt,
first secretary, who, prior to the ar
rival of Baron Sternburg, had entire
charge of the German negotiations
here. had a long conference with Mr..
Bowen regarding details of the propo-
sition under consideration that the al
lies receive preferential treatment for
three months. Bowen assured the
count that he would make no distinc-
ton between the allies themselves, the
three to receive identical treatment.
This fact has been cabled to Berlin
and Rome. No answer has yet come
from any of the allies as to when they
will raise the blockade or as to what
their attitude is regarding the last
proposition of Mr. Bowen. Continued
confidence exists here that the activ-
ity displayed by Baron Sternburg and
his sincere desire to settle the dis
pute will in the end avail to secure
an agreement at Washington. The
president is we'll pleased with the at
titude of Baron Sternburg.
