The WORLDS FAIR
As Seen BY Prof. r. G. T. Jacobs

To the Herald:-The Texas en-
hibit in the horticultural building
is not so good as the exhibits of
several other states in the same
building, and while some Texans
are embarrassed on this account
we are all quite sure that our state
will come to the front little la
ter.
The Texas exhibit in the palace
of forestry, fish and game, is very
beautiful now, though not nearly
complete. The PANELS in this
booth are made of Texas wood,
and of many different varieties.
A door made of knotted and sour
ly" pine is especially attractive.
Though this exhibit is not COM
plete, men are so fascinated with
the different varieties of wood and
the beauty of the workmanship
that they crowd into it any way
and get in the way of the men
who are fitting up the exhibit.
The Texas building is nearly
complete now, and the special ex-
hibits will all soon be in. One
point of the star is being arranged
as a museum by the ladies for the
benefit of the Alamo fund. There
are many things in this museum
already to interest all the world,
and every Texan who visits the
fair should surely see it.
The Texas people do not long
conceal the fact here that they are
from the "Lone Star State.
They are fond of talking about
their state and they find lnany
people who are glad to listen.
But occasionally we get a joke.
A man from Mississippi told this
one few days ago: He said that
a Texas man was selling tomb |
stone to a lady in Kentucky whose
husband had died in Texas. She
wanted the epitaph to be, ''Gone
to a better land,'' but the Texas
man said, "No, madam, | cannot
put that on, for l am under obi
cations to tell the truth" Presi-
dent Francis says that many visi-
tors to the fair have complained
that it is too big, but that he has
never heard a Texan make that
complaint, and that he does not
believe a Texan ever saw anything
too big for himself. r. G. T. j.

AS FoREToLD by astrologers who
study the stars, this year 1904 is
proving a year of fearful disasters
and bloody wars. The loss of the
General Slocum few days ago at
New York, in which the lives of
hundreds of children went out in
a hell of flames was more appall-
ing than the Iriquois fire at Chi
cago. No doubt some one blum
dered, and as in the case of the
lriquois fire, a feint at investiga-
ton will be made, and the matter
dismissed.

A kNockER.

The dodgers distributed this
morning advertising the lecture
for this evening and tonight stat
ed there would be "no admission"
Everybody wanted to hear it, and
the announcement that there
would be no admission was deeply
regretted. Yesterday Daily Wis
itor.
The man who inspired the above
had purpose, and that purpose
was to confuse and to knock the
mass meeting called for last night
at the tabernacle. Such malicious
meddling should be resented by
members of union labor, and by
union labor sympathizers. The
dodgers referred to were not
ambiguous by any means, and
any man, though he be a fool,
could and should have understood
the announcement when it said
"No admission and no collection;
everybody invited" There is a
vast difference in the meaning of
the word "admission," as used
here, and the word "admittance."

COLORADO reports of the min
ers' troubles are being censured
with a Winchester, and local Off
Gals who are sympathizers of un-
ion labor are being induced TO re-
sign in the face of a gun and with
a rope around their necks. And
all this under guise of martial law.
If organized labor was guilty of
one-tenth as much what anar-
chists they would be. 1t is now
charged those fearful outrages
were the acts of corporation min
ers, to create prejudice against
unionism. 1t is easier to believe
this is true than to believe a true
union man would be guilty of
such acts.

Sanitary Building.

Mexican Herald. --,--
The sanitary building, construct
ed in the southern part of the
Veracruz port works has been COM
pleted and Preparations are already
being made for its Inauguration.
The building has a complete de-
partment of baths with two in
dependent entrances, so that when
a passenger arrives from an infect
ed port, he is taken to the depart
ment of baths and while there his
clothes are disinfected, to be let
out by the other door. so that there
is absolutely no danger for the
population. i9 :
Ships land passengers on the
fiscal docks, whence they proceed
with their baggages to the custom
house. The sanitation building
has its own docks, so that pas
sengers on board ships from sus-
pected ports shall land there and,
after their distinction the custom
house.
AS yet no day has been fixed for
the inaugural ceremony, but it
seems that it will take place some
time during the coming month of
July.

DATE PALMS IN TEXAS.
Rio Grande Valley Suitable for Their
Growth-Should be Tested.

Only the extreme southwestern
part of Texas, bordering the Rio
Grande from the mouth of the Pc
COS river to near Brownsville, is
adapted to the culture of the date
palm. Throughout the eastern half
of the state and in strip along the
Gulf coast, down to the Mexican
boundary, the climate is too humid
and the summers are too cool to
permit the date palm to grow out
of doors without protection. In
the region lying south and west of
San Antonio. between the humid
Gulf coast and the Rio Grande, the
summers are hot enough to mature
even the medium or late varieties
of dates. The rainfall averages in
this region only about 10 inches,
and the late summer is usually dry
enough to permit dates to ripen;
irrigation would usually be neces-
sary. Ordinarily the winters are
not severe enough to injure the
date palm if protected when young.
The date should be tested in this
part of Texas wherever water can
be obtained for irrigation.
