Texas and Her Vast Area.

Some idea OF the state of Texas may
be formed with the aid of few statis-
tees. It's extreme length is 620 and
its breadth E65 miles, comprising an
area of 265, 78O square miles. 1t has
24S counties, 19.5OO,OOO acres of i'm
proved farming land and farm property
Of the value Of $969, 100000. The num-
ber of its farms is 352, 100.
It's population as shown by the last
census was 3,04S, 710: being in point of
numbers the sixth state IN the union.
Those which exceed il are New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and Illi-
nois, whose aggregate population is
$23, 656, 78O. Yet their total area is on
! ly 262, ,O1O square miles. This is less
py 3,770 miles than Texas, which would
not be equalized we're Connecticut and

ulation of Texas we're as great to the

area of conviction in what had become
long before the guns of Beauregard
opened fire upon Fort Sumter, little
other than two hostile camps. The
battlefield seemed the only court Of
last resort. Into that dread tribunal
each lit.gant brought the best that was
in him. All minor differences and all
doubts and fears were sunk in the sim
gle issue Of the Union on one side, the
Confederacy ON the other. The law
of Farce against Force alone was to de-,
eide. 1t did decide, and the decision,
which was equally complete and, left
nothing TO wish for by the North, moth
ing to hope for by the South.
Tennessee, more than auy other Of
the slave.holding states more even
than Virginia-was unprepared for the
crisis OF 1861. Her dearest aspirations
had been for half century poured out
as rich libltions upon the altar of the
Union, her fondest traditions radiating
from the Hermitage, inspired and sus-
tanned through conservatism of her
people. The 9th of February, 1861, by
an overwhelming majority, they voted
down proposition to assemble q State

by no means been abandoned, but thai

hackers of Cleveland. 1t is even said
the Cleveland emissaries haYe been ac-

have been held, energetically working
against instructions. 1t is added to
this that these Cleveland emisSaries are
high-class, influential citizens n d
prominent Democrats, who would not
be suspected Of favoring flour more

Of the dead Confederacy. We need not

that we fought for liberty. Millions

COOK COUNTY DEMOCRACY
New Charter is Issued by the Secre-
 tary of State.

Springfield, H., March 2.-Secretary or State Rose to-day issued license to incorporate the Cook County Democracy. The organization is not in for profit, and the incorporators and first board of di- rectors are: John J. Powers. William Roach. Michael J. Deyine. Thomas J.. Dawson. The new organization is effected be- cause the old organization charter has been cancelled by Secretary of State Rose for noncompliance with the law requiring the corporations to make an annual report to the Secretary of State. The incorporation of the new organiza- tion is the outgrowth of the fight between 2 factions of County Democracy led by Robert J. Burke and Mayor Harrison of Chicago.
 President John J. Powers and other off, fcers decided upon by Powers commit tee at a recent meeting of the County Democracy were enjoined from appearing at meetings. and taking their positions by Burke, who alleged that they were not elected, and produced minutes of the meeting of which he was secretary to uphold his contention.
 Later it was discovered that the or Ranizatioh had failed to make annual reports to the Secretary of State under the law of 1901, and at midnight last might was the latest they could do 90. Accordingly a number of Powers adher- ents met and organized a new associa- tion.sWhich was granted its license to- day. Rf
 Today's movements show that the con- kroi of the political auxiliary organiza- kion known as the Cook County Democ- racy was secured by the adherents of Mayor Harrison. The victory was achieved by a legal ruse Eagerly watch Ing for a chance, the followers of the Mayor caught their opponents mapping. With demand for incorporation as the Cook County Democracy. John Powers and other friends of the Mayor suddenly hppeared today before Secretary of State Rose. It was shown to the satisfaction pf Secretary Rose that the charter held by opponents of the Mayor had become invalid for noncompliance with the law requiring corporations to make annual 'eport to the Secretary of State.
 A license was issued to Powers, who hus regained control from which he had ecently been busted by a court decision lpholding the anti-Harrison faction led by Mayor Harrison's former chief lieu enant, Robert E. Burke. The decision bad enjoined officers of the Harrison fac ion from appearing at the meetings or therwise interfering with the Cook County Democracy. Subsequently, 1t ap- ears from the proceedings today, the Harrison faction found that the men who lad been shut out had failed to make an-
 ual reports to the Secretary of State
 nder law of 1901. and that midnight last
 ight was the latest time that such re- 'ort could be made.
 An amendment to the law passed by he Legislature of 193 exempted corpora ions not for profit taking from making
 nnual reports to the Secretary of State
 he amendment, however. applies only corporations organized after the
 mendment became law, and thus did
 ot apply to the anti-Harrison Cooh

The Anti-Bovcott Law.

For the first time in the history of the courts of this city, the anti-boycott law Is being enforced. Warrants have been sworn out in the Inferior Criminal Court before Acting Judge J. W. Tharp, for Louis Desmolne. Arthur Platt. Alex Mar tin, Walter Altman. John Martin and John Woods, the complainant being the Frochlichstein Cigar Manufacturing Com pany of this city The warrants charge the defendants with having interfered with the lawful business or occupation of others.
 Several months ago a strike was in- augurated by the cigar makers employed by the complainant. because of a refusal on the part of the company to dis charge a foreman. It was hard for the company to secure cigar makers. but fin ally it succeeded in getting a number from New Orleans to go to work Mon- day night last nine of the New Orleans men were induced, so it is alleged, to leave their job and return home. It is also stated that members of the local Cigar Makers Union have been working against the Frohlichstein Company among the business people of the city contrary to the provisions of the anti boycott law.
 The defendants named in the warrants are members of the union and are said to have been instrumental in causing the New Orleans men to quit their jobs and return home, also in circulating damaging reports against the factory. The sheriff was given the warrants and his deputies went in search of the men, and succeeded in placing all of them un- der arrest. except Altman. Wood is pres- ident of the local union. The cases are set for March 9th.

 Mobile, March 2.
 I. William Smith. a brickiayer, met death at 1O:30 o'colck this morning on the south side of Dauphin, between Royal and Water Streets, by being crushed under a mass of brick.
 MT. Smith was engaged in working on the six-story building being erected for Pollock and Bernheimer, and had gone down into a hole, below the edge of the front wall of the adjoining building to the westward, occupied by J. Felrath, to law brick on the foundation. As he stoop- ed to begin work, large mass of brick and mortar, portion of the front wall of the Felrath building, fell upon his head and body.
 The accident was seen by some Of the workmen and a rush was made to extri- cate the man from under the mass of stuff. The great block of brick ana mortar was finally lifted and the man carried to the sidewalk. One of the foremen on the work rushed to the office of the School Board of Mobile County. where several physicians, members of the Board were assembled for meeting and asked for one to go the man.
 One went immediately to the scene, but short distance away. On arriving he made hasty examination. found the mans skull crushed at the base of the brain and great. gash in the side or the head. After feeling the mans pulse and further examining him, the doctor stated that the man would die In few moments
 E News of the tragedy was telephoned to the police station and from there the ann bulancs was ordered. When 1t arrived, however, the man was dead. The re- mains were taken in charge by under takers, and prepared for tnterment.
 Mir. Smith leaves a wife and child at Plateau. He was a member Of the Bricklayers' Union of this city and was considered a most exemplary man.
 The contractors for the building had every employees life insured and the family of the dead man will be we'll pro- vided for.

To Improve Schools.

The Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County met in special session at 10:3O o'clock this morning with all the members, except Commissioner Frazer present. The purpose of the meeting was to hear a report from a special commit- tee of the Board which had been ap- pointed to investigate and report on need- ed repairs to Barton Academy, the prin- cipal public school building in the city. The report of the committee, which pro- vided for considerable improvement tn- cluding methods for ingress and egress of teachers and pupils in emergencies and for better sanitation of the building. was received and filed, and the recom- mendations as to improvements were con- cured in. The same motion relieved the committee from further duties.
 Commissioner Leinkauf, who is a mem- Der of the special committee, offered the following resolutions, which were adopt ed:
 Resolved, That the Executive Com mittee be charged to proceed at once in accordance with the report of the special committee as a basis.
 Resolved, That when the repairs and Improvements to the Barton Academy are completed and accepted this board pledges itself to take tip the question of erecting an additional building on Cont Street side. under plans to be selected at the time.
 Resolved, That this board commits it. self first to the improvements of the Barton Academy building and next to the additional building on Cont Street."
 After the meeting of the board had been concluded several of the members, speaking of the importance of the needed Improvements at Barton Academy, said that, realizing the urgent need they were more than pleased that the motion to proceed at once had passed. The con ditions at Barton Academy have been a source of considerable worry to the members of the School Board for some time, and the necessity for immediate remedies was spoken of at several prevl- ous meetings.
 The resolution which passed provides for another school building in the same square as Barton Academy. This is conceded to be much needed.
