General Miles and Secretary Root are

General Miles has never been on friendly

General Corbin from becoming a member

Paner and Pine shaylnns.

In Orange, Texas, they are not talk
mite time paper from pine shayings,
but they are actually making it from
pine shavings, and the article turned
out is said to be satisfactory to news
paper men. There is no complaint of
the resinous qualities of the pine of
this section. All troubles OF that sort
seem to have been overcome. How
the resin is extracted does not yet APP
pear, the process no doubt being Sc
cret, but the editors Of the Texas pa
pers are to see paper made from pine
shavings, although they may not be
able to see the plant extract the resin,
especially il they go to the mill i'm
mediately after dinner.
But the work is going on at Orange,
and a $4,000 mill is to be built at
Houston-a mill large enough to make
twenty tons of paper day from the
odds and ends of q lumber mill. The
Texas people have full faith in the pro-
cess whether it be visible or invisible.
Alabama is deeply i: crested in this
industry, for Alabama has not only
plenty of pine but plenty of water
powers and pure mountain streams
well adapted to paper making. The
Texas process should be watched, and
If it be all it is cracked up to be it
should be transplanted to Alabama
where 1t is much needed.

The people living in the counties that

1T is generally believed, however. that
the mountain country is becoming devel-

Fourth Sunday In Lent.

Speaking of the Fourth Sunday in
Lent. styled Laetare Sunday, here are
interesting extracts from oBriens his
tory of the mass" said a Catholic last
night.
Quoting from O'Brien, on the third
Sunday of Advent and the fourth Sunday
of Lent, called respectively 'Gaudete' and
,Laetare' Sundays, from the introit on
these days cardinals wear instead OF
their usual color, that of pale rose, and
this Is required to be the color also of
their outdoor dress on these occasions
'The fourth Sunday of Lent is what is
known as the Sunday of the Golden
Rose from a custom observed In Rome
of blessing a rose made of pure gold
mixed with musk and balsam. The cere-
mony is performed by the pope himself
and the rose thus blessed is carried in
solemn procession In the hand of the
pontin to and from his chapel on this
Sunday.
1.-THE rose, symbolic of the eternal
bloom and freshness of paradise, is after
wards bestowed, as a mark of special
favor. on some great potentate who has
done service to the Holy See. Pope
Plus * sent golden rose to Maria
Theresa, queen of Naples, for the kind
ness extended him by her when he was
obliged to flee to Gaeta in 1S4S. He sent
one also to the Empress Eugene, wife
of Napoleon Ill and to Elizabeth en-
press of Austria On this Sunday also the
University of Notre Dame, Indiana, be-
slows it's famous Laetare' medal on some
person especially prominent in church
matters. Bourke Cochrane, the famous
orator, was one who received it year
or two ago.
IF my memory serves me right Miss
Caldwell. who gave $S50,OOo to found the
Catholic university at Washington, was
the recipient of the Golden Rose An
other American woman was also honored
in a like manner.

Mr.. Carneule's unnonuIariiy

Mr.. Carnegie is not popular, and yet
he is conscientiously and intelligently
endeavoring to better the condition of
his feIlowmen. A writer in Golfers
Weekly thinks this is because there
is no appearance of sympathy, of pity,
of affection, of heart in Mr. Carnegie's
gifts. "They come out of his pocket,
not out of himself. He has confessed
to luxurious Indifference to the needs
of the poor and unfortunate. His
secretaries destroy the appeals of the
losers in the battle of life. And that
is the flaw that everyone unconscious
ly detects in his benefactions."
In other words, his gifts are too bus
iness-like. He insists that every town
that receives gift from him shall ex-
pend each year ten per cent of the
amount of his gift upon the library he

judgment of the experts IN favor of the
Panama route was reached only after
the incest and most complicate balancing
of pros and cons. They pronounced the
Nicaraguan route entirely feasible and,
in the end. changed the verdict to make
1t favor Panama only or condition that
the concessions Of the French company
could be bought for a certain sum of
money Undoubtedly Mr.. Morgan was
perfectly honest in believing that tho
Nicaraguan route should still be prefer
red; and he was probably Influenced in
holding this opinion by considerations
other than engineering or technical ones.
While 80 out of 100 must be guided in
such a matter by the judgment of such
snecialists as the Walker commission and
by such a lawyer as Attorney General
Knox, Mr.. Morgan's long Independent
study of the questions involved certainly
entitled him to an independent view; and
it can even be said by those who applaud
the choice of the Panama route, as the
Republican does, that the question Of

minating act of such peculiar and even
picturesque effect that persons who have
not followed his twenty years campaign
may be puzzled to reconcile 1t with the
senator's intense, almost passionate, ad-
vocacy of canal digging. 1t Is evident
that vote In favor of ratification was
proper and desirable on the part of those
who had been unable to remedy the de-
fects in the diplomatic work which the
treaty embodied, but probably this was
the easier view for those who had al
ready settled the issue of the routes in
favor Of Panama. Mr.. Morgan still held
strongly to his Nicaraguan prediction,
and on top of that came diplomatic flaws
in the Colombian treaty which made it
impossible for him as an honest man,
holding strong convictions, to vote for
final ratification of an unamended con-
vention.
The senator. whatever may be said of
the soundness OF his judgment main
tained his consistency and his honor to
the end, and, on thaS account, he merits
our respect for what he has done. When
his labors are summed up, 1t will be
found that the canal enterprise received
a great impetus from the energy of SEN
ator Morgan, and that his opposition to
the final course pursued in reaching the
goal, honorable in itself II not altogether
wise, bulks into nsigniioance compared
with his aggressive and untlring advocacy
of the canal in its earlier stages.

SECRETLY WED.

New York Letter In Chicago Tribune.
1t was learned today that Jose Estrada
Palma. a son of Thomas Estrada Palma.
Miss Mabel Jacobs, a student at the Nor
NAL college and daughter of David b.
Jacobs, a wealthy tobacco importer, were
privately married here February II.
Young Estrada Palma, who is a student
at Columbia university, went to Wash
lngton today to consult with Gonzales de
Quesada, the Cuban minister, and to re-
quest him to break the news of the mar
riage to his father
The young couple had been acquainted
about a year. On the afternoon of Feb
ruary IL, accompanied by Miss Jacobs
sister, they went to the parsonage of the
New York Presbyterian church In Harlem
where they were married by the Rev.
Duncan Mcmillan. After the ceremony
the bride returned to her fathers home.
Fear of parental opposition appears to
have been the cause of the secrecy of
the marriage.
Mr.. Jacobs said tonight that his daugh-
ter positively denied that she was mar
ried to young Estrada Palma.
A message from Washington tonight
says that Senior Quesada, the minister
from that country, had stated that young
Palma had been a guest at his (Quesa-
da's) home since last Saturday, but he
returned to New York today. The young
mans visit. Senior Quesada said was a
purely social one, made at the invitation
of the minister, who desired him to be
in Washington when the Cuban treaty
was ratified. The young man, the minis
ter understood, already had Informed his
father of his marriage to Miss Jacobs,
and in all probability would take his bride
with him when he went home In June

BUFFALO TRAGEDY AND
SOME OF ITS LESSONS

until some untoward event tells the
whole story.
The same may be said Of a woman
who is faithless as a wife or a mother.
Her sin will, inevitably, bring her to re-
pentance. God never intended that men
and women should live sinful lives, and
they cannot do SO with impunity.
Different temperaments are affected
differently by the knowledge of the de-
ception practiced upon them by the one
whom they have vowed to love and cher
ish. Some are heart-broken and crushed;
others make the mistake of paying back
in the same kind become desperate and
launch into the same immortality Thus
the gulf becomes SO wide that 1t can never
be bridged.
Perhaps we are so Indifferent to the vul-
gar that we do not notice the domestic
infecity of this class; but one feels that
there Is far too much of 1t among the
higher and weather. class OF society,
which is directly traceable to too much
leisure. Satan revels in idleness and 1t Is
certainly true that there Is always some
thing evil for idle hands to do.
Cocktails, late suppers and card parties
are among the incipient causes of
troubles. Flirtations, INDUCED in by young
women and matrons, generally lead to the
worst possible issues And until there is
more restraint In the intercourse OF men
and women and less weakness on both
sides, there will be greater instead of less
Generalization of domestic ties. Meeting
men at resorts to dine with them and
joining them In cocktails and champagne
lead to the most perncous influences that
can be exercised and should be so con-
demned that no good woman would ac-
cept such an invitation or consent to be
the chaperon of such parties.
Men who extend invitations of this kind
have generally rather too liberal ideas on
all subjects and are not inclined to con-
fine themselves to the strictest proprle-
ties Raise the social standard to that OF
the Puritans, and we shall hear less OF
such domestic disasters as that Of the
Burdicks.

Boil Neevli a.. =. es.

The chief agents of the agricultural
department, including DR.. Howard,
chief entomologist, are now convinced
that it will be impossible to extermi-
nate the Mexican cotton boil weeyil,
and that in the course of a few years
the pest will have spread itself over
the entire cotton belt The Texas
planters are of a like mind, and all
their efforts as to the pest relate to
a minimizing of its effects. They adj
NIT that 1t has come to stay, and they
will endeavor to grow cotton in spite
of its presence.
The winter season kills as a rule the
insects. But new lot of them comes
on in the spring, and it is a race be-
tween the cotton plant and the insects.
At first the latter are few in number
but they go on increasing in numbers
until in the fall they are numerous
enough to destroy the crop The early
maturity of the crop is therefore very
desirable, and this is possible in the
greater part of Texas.
The Texas planters now select the
early maturing varieties of cotton, and
they put the seed into the ground at
the earliest possible moment They
also plant the rows farther apart, Civ
ing the sun better chance to scorch
the pest. Thorough cultivation has
tens the maturity OF the crop, all ex-
pectations of top crop being aban-
doned. 1t Is proposed to ask or re-
quire all farmers to clear the plants
from the ground and burn them not
later than the first week of October.
The loss of top crop will thus be made
good by lessening of the insects in
the following year.
No doubt the habits of the pest and
of the methods of combating it will
be well studied before it reaches Ala
bama. II will be due here in about
five years, and as things look at pres
ent its coming cannot be prevented
even with the broad Mississippi to aid
