Here is a total Of $50, 600 head Of
sheep and lambs shipped out of the
three counties by the larger operators.
To this number must be added the
purchases made by smaller dealers,
and the shipments made by numerous
owners on their " account. With
these additions it is believed the grand
total would reach, il not exceed, a
million head of sheep aud lambs ship

MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trade met last night in regu-
lar weekly meeting, with President
Hearne in the chair and all members
present except one.
The list of membership in the hands
of the secretary shows the board to
have membership of one hundred
and fifty, and the prospects good for
running the number up to two hun
dred active members.
The committee, composed of Messrs.
w. T. Graham, Tucker Royal and
Lucius Gooch, appointed to look into
the cotton situation and make recon-
mendations, reported as follows:
To the President and Members of the
Executive Committee, Palestine
Board of Trade.
GentIemen.-We, your committee
appointed at a previous meeting for
the purpose of devising measures for
the improvement of our local cotton
market, and make it as good or better
than any other market in this part of
Texas, beg leave to make the follow
ing recommendation, namely:
First. That the Executive Commit
tee secure cotton yard suitably To-
Gated, where cotton brought in on
wagons may be weighed and handled
free of charge to planters.
Second. The employment of COM
petent, reliable cotton weigher, who
shall have charge of this cotton yard,
and weigh free of cost to the farmers
all cotton brought to him, and shall is
sue certificate therefor, showing the
date, owners name, and weight of
each bale.
The weigher should be furnished
with scales and all necessary appli-
ances for weighing and handling said
cotton. The weigher should be re-
quired to furnish to the Executive
Committee good aud sufficient bond
for the faithful and correct perform
ance of his duties. He should be en-
pIoyed at a salary of $500 per month
for term of seven months, beginning |
Sept. 1, 1905.
Third. That an expert cotton class
er be employed with office and head
quarters at the cotton yard, with the
weigher, whose duty it shall be to

N5f15r sHccessf6f sptfstion
of this plan, however, we further rec
ommend that a considerable number
of our merchants, including the bank
ers, be urged to cooperate with the
Board Of Trade in this measure, by
announcing themselves as cotton buy
ers for the coming season.
Your committee also recommends
that bulletin board of suitable size be
placed in the Board of Trade rooms,
upon which shall be displayed the
cotton market quotations received
hourly by telegraph, for the free use
of farmers and buyers; the expense to
be borne by the Board of Trade.
We also recommend free wagon
yards and free ferryage to farmers
bringing cotton to Palestine.

A New York Custom.
From the Boston Globe.


Boston woman on a visit to Manhattan
speaks of "a custom the New York men
have of stretching out their legs to full
length and depositing their boots on the
seat opposite them in elevated trains. 1t
matters not whether their boots be freshly
blacked or muddy, the first woman that
occupies that seat carries away a reminder
of the fact that some boor couldn't keen
his feet where they belong in an elevated
train-on the floor.
Some of these seat hogs add insult to
injury by refusing to remove their feet
when they see a person wishes to occupy
the seat until that person starts to sit on
the shoes / have actually seen women
standing up in an elevated train while there
were seats unoccupied save for mems dirty
footwear. The average guard pays no at
tention to this vulgar conduct and displays
reluctance when he is asked to admonish
one thus blocking a seat | don't believe
there's another city of any size in the coun-
try where such practice is customary or
allowed. 1t isn't in Boston, anyway

toned on the sidewalks to rescue unfortu-
mates who fell overheard into the roadway
But the day. like its predecessor, passed
quietly and without casualties.
1t was with the first Grant inaugura ton
that the crowds had increased that it
was necessary to take them regularly in
hand and provide for the safety and com
fort of thousands of visitors at the Capitol
by regular committees whose work has be-
come more onerous, and whose expenditures
are larger with each succeeding year.
But the great procession is display on
which the public insists, and which it will
cross the continent to watch or participate
in. The bad weather usually ACCOMMODATING
the Inauguration early in March has become
almost traditional, and there have been
two proposals to change the date.

AS matter of fact he was stopping at
boarding house on New Jersey avenue. only
a little way from the Capitol, and he walked
over TO the Senate with few political
friends and with less sem5lancc of regu-
lar inaugural procession than had been the
custom up to that time The oath was
administered indoors in the presence of
about thousand persons. and the same
formula was observed on the Inauguration
of Madison in 1909, except that the crowd
had grown in the meantime and there was
a greater demand for tickets, so that the
ceremony was performed in the old House
of Representatives.
But that was one of the last Inaugural
tons held indoors. The demand for tickets
had increased that it was decided to
hold the inaugural ceremonies for Menroe
on the east front of the Capitol. There
was gathered in the square what the rec
ords of the day describe as "a vast con-
course of people, almost ten thousand The
President delivered his inaugural address
| in the open air, and though every one could
| see him, there were few who heard what
| he had TO say.
| The younger Adams returned to the Gus
| tom of an indoor inauguration. and the
| ceremony was in the Senate chamber. There
| was a strenuous fight for admission and
| the thousands of civic paraders who march,
| ed with him to the Capitol had almost a
| free fight with the squadron of cavalry
/ which was his personal escort.

the crowds in Washington began to be

PROFESSIONS Become Feature.
From this time on the inaugural process
sion began to be one, of the great features
of the day. though it was still much on the
order of circus parade. There were floats
of all sorts and trade organizations utilized
the occasion to advertise their wares and
callngs. In the Van Buren, procession there
was printing press on wheels, and inau-
gural programs were for the first time
printed and distributed gratis TO the crowd.
van Buren, was also accompanied by five
companies of soldiers which was conSd-
cred a great display of military at that
time, and in the Capitol the diplomatic
corps in brilliant uniforms was much in
evidence.
The crowds in Washington grew with
the increase of the population and the i'm
proVement Of roads and transportation facil-
tiles Eleven companies of soldiers accom-
panied James x. Polk to the Capitol, and
there was in the procession, too, a march
ing club which had come all the way from
New York, the first specific mention of
political club that had come to participate
In an inaugural paEade. 1t was estimated
that there We're 10000 people outside the
Capitol when Taylor took the OATH and this
had increased to 10000 on Buchanan's in
stallation. The need of a committee on
public comfort had then become much
felt but untitled want Crowds wandered
the streets all night and every pump and
public drinking fountain was utilized as
temporary lavatory in the morning. The
streets We're filed with motley, moving
crowd all day, and that prince of deadbeats
Beau Hickman, reaped a harvest from both
his regular and irregular patrons. There
was grand sbalI,held in q temporary build
ing in Judiciary Square. almost ON the site
of the pension office, where the ball Is now
held. The decorations were lavish, costing
about $780, exclusive of the chandeliers,
which were afterward taken down andAItil-
lied elsewhere. This may not seem much
compared with the $1Se00 which it now
costs to decorate the bah room,4 but it was
a considerable sum for those days The

fireworks were described magnificent,
though there is little detail remaining to
what they comprised But, it is an interest
ing fact that in later inaugurationS fireworks
seem TO be on the decline, and there has
been considerable falling off in this item
of expenditure since nearly $1,000 spent
in this way for the first Cleveland inaugu-
raj.
Lincoln's Inaugurations.
OF course, there is much interest in the
two Lincoln inaugurations. There was
great fear that he might be assassnated on
his first trip to the Capitol, in 1861, and ne
was surrounded by a strong bodyguard of
cavalry, there being altogether 900 soldiers
in line. Batteries of artillery were parked
in Judiciary Square and every preparation
was made to meet an emergency should it
arise. Companies of German sharpshooters
were posted on the tops of the buildings
along the line of march, wish orders to fire
if a hand was raised against the President
There was one false alarm, when the New
England delegation fell into line, as the
cracking of their dry peg boots resembled
the rattle of musketry, but the day passed
quietly The next week the chief of Lin
coins bodyguard, Capt. Magruder, Went
south to join the confederacy.
There was less both of display and pre-
caution on Lincoln's second inauguration
The war was on in full blast, and foes
were open and not merely suspected.
squadron of cavalry and two batteries of
artillery formed the military section of the
parade, and a denser crowd than ever us
tened to the beloved Presidents brief in
augural address. But it was not much of
a day for demonstration. The dry weather
of the previous inauguration, when as many
as hundred men had been employed over
night in sweeping the route from the Exec
utive Mansion to the Capitol. had been sue
ceeded by a gale of wind and rain. 1t was

their way The last guests were not out

shoes till after in the morning.
But these unpleasant attendants of inau-
gural festivities mostly belong to a later
date The first inaugurations We're more
Gignified and exclusive affairs, and the in
terest in their details was chiefly political.
Washingtons second Inauguration was in
Independence Hall, at Philadelphia, and
came nearer his ideas of a simple private
installation. The oath was administered in
the Senate chamber, and, although Wash
ington was accompanied by both military
and civic bodies from and to the hall. there
was less of display than with any other of
the numerous inaugurals with which his
tory deals.
more in the nature OF lament on the part
of the people for him personally than of a
welcome for the incoming President Adams,
while one of Washngton's warm friends
and stanch supporters, felt the situation
keenly. and showed it both at the time and
in subsequent letters. He declared in writ
ing to his wife that there were more tears
shed than ut q tragedy, and declared him
the regret of the people at losing much
loved President or sorrow at having 10
welcome an unpopular one.
Jeffersons installation was also at a time
of stress and strife. Through political
Vaccinations he came near losing the seat
altogether. and when the final vote of the
electors was given there was strong effort
to throw the vote 10 that courtly, polished
and altogether fascinating conspratoi
