men About Oil Trust.
 Austin, Texas. Feb. 23.-It developed today that the members of the Texas Legislature are in correspondence with members of Congress at Washington urging the Federal government to come to Texas and investigate the operations of the Standard Oil Company in this State. Senator Decker admitted on the floor of the Senate today that he had sent a telegram to Representative Campbell of Kansas. urging him to have the Federal authorities visit Tex as and he said he hoped his plea would not be in vain. inasmuch as he felt great good would come of such an in- vestigation on the part of the Federal government.
 It is understood other members are of like opinion and it is just possible that brfore the Legislature gets through with it's oil legislation some action may be taken with regard to the proposition of Senator Decker as made today.

CHOOSING
A WIFE

q IR HENRY Y>SILVERING'was man
y of immense purpose and little full
illment; indeed, his intention to do so
or to die and his inability ever to ac-
complish were so well known that he
was playfully called "Sir Headstrong," !"
not only by his intimate friends and ene-
mics, but by the servants in the houses
where he visited. Possibly no man had
ever, at his age-which was 26-com-
menced so many imposing undertakings
with an unmistakable not of determina-
ton in his manner and allowed them to
gently flicker out when he was satisfied
that there was q remote possibility of
their ultimate success.
At this moment Sir Henry Silvering
was sitting at dining table in his club,
opposite his downright and unmistaka-
bly, common-sensed friend, John Boil
ero. Sir Henry had just made one of
his sudden and wholly unexpected an
nouncements, and, with narrowed lids,
he was regarding the first development
of ash at the point of a cigar.
''The deuce you are!" exclaimed John
Boldero, bluntly.
"Yes-marry," repeated Sir Henry.
"And then shall go into parliament,
take up agriculture, revive the British
farmer, undersell the American market.
and knock the fiscal fizzle on the head"
"Who is she?" inquired Boldero, look
ing at him keenly. E.
"She is one of natures ladies'" pro-
nounced Sir Henry, with beautiful rev.
erence.
Boldero laid his cheek upon his arm
and groaned, for these were the very
words that Sir Henry had used three
years ago, when he had all but carried

through his purpose of robbing great
London terminus of one of it's most Or
namental barmaids.
"And where is her-her place of busi-
ness?" asked Boldero, with a broad
grin. ....

of wounded dignity.
Sorry, old chap-I meant, where did
you meet herr" corrected his friend.

'My dear Harry" broke in Boldero
bending forward, "Muriel Warrington!

admonishingly "Boldero, 4 do wish.
for heavens sake, you wouldn't jump
So" he said, pettishly Lady Muriel is
an excellent girl, but could never think
of marrying her. She is ready nodded;

* below is suitable for party
gown for the present end OF
the season and will be just as appropri-
ate for wear all the coming season. 1t
would make up exceptionally well in
light summer stuffs.
The design has all the features now
liked; the square effect, the hip-yoke,
full skirt, large sleeves ending in a deep
frill, and the pointed bodice. The ma
terial used for this particular model is
silk voile made over white silk slip;
red polka dots are woven in the wolfe,
the bodice is of soft red silk. Red is
coming to the fore with swift strides
now, although as rule it is not especial
ly popular as spring color. Passamen-
terie trims the yoke and sleeves, and
outlines the upper part Of the bodice.
The second illustration pictures the
first dancing frock for the young girl,
simple but picturesque; and seems to us
essentially youthful and attractive.
Those who prefer may, without spelling
the effect, make the skirt trifie short
er than the one pictured, but do not so
to an extreme and have as result golf
skirt doing duty as a ball gown. Almost
any material suitable for evening wear
can be employees forh this style of dress,
but whatever isselek kcted, remember the

The Worlds SILK.

The silk production of the world for
1903 is estimated at 39,897,00 pounds
avoirdupois, not including the home
consumption of China and Japan, tho
amount of which is difficult to estimate
China still leads in this industry. Its
exports of silk amounted to 100000
pounds, as against 10. 19S. 900 pounds ex-
ported by Japan. Persia, Turkestan and
India together exported 1865, 900
pounds. In Europe Italy is far in the
lead in silk production. the amount for
1903 being 7,757, 900 pounds. Turkey in
Asia and Cyprus together produced
2,990,0O0 pounds, France 1,043, 900
