Purches Of Osdiches Always Prsced-
Il BY a Race.

Chicago Chronicle.
"Have you ever seen an ostrich
farm?" the sailor asked
"No," said the druggist.
Then, of course, you've never
seen an ostrich sale. I'll tell you a
strange thing about that. When a
dealer comes to buy an ostrich he al
ways has Two or three birds he likes
best run a race.
''The ostriches are ranged in line.
A bunch OF figs is shown to them.
The man with the figs walks away
about quarter OF a mile. Then the
ostrichcs are let off.
Il tell YOU. the big birds run. Those
long, bong legs OF theirs put the
ground behind them in way that is
astoundin.' In the race | saw there
were three os;riches and one left the
Others far behind him. AS he ran ne
kept lookin' behind him like human
racer. and when he saw that there
was no chance for the others, he
economical his strength by slowin'
down and he reached the figs on
walk He, bein' the winner, was, of
course, the bird that the dealer
bought"
"Why are these birds always raced
and the fastest one purchased?" said
the druggist
Because" replied the sailor, 'the
fastest is always the strongest and
healthiest."

What Constitutes an Assault.

IF a man come into your house,
said the Liverpool stipendiary magls-
trate, "and picks up poker to strike
you, you are entitled to pick up the
tongs and fence with him, and if you
hit him with the tongs he cannot
complain of being assaulted, because
he would have struck you first if he
could. But if, on the other hand, you
take the poker out Of his hand and
strike him with it you are guilty of an
assault, because you struck an un-
armed man. That is as clmear dis
tinction as I can make"

When a duty IS done you are
done with it; it is never SO with a
duty undone.
One law of heredity is certain;
our deeds are our daddies.
To point out our faults to our
selves and our friends faults to
our friends is a duty as plain as it
is hard.
Men are of two classes; those
who are beaten by failure and those
who like Antaeus. rise up the
stronger for every overthrow.
Jobs comforters left whole tribes
of descendants.
When man or woman grows
irritable in some case the physical,
in all cases the spiritual machinery

GOOD md BID LAWS.

Governor Folk of Missouri says
Good citizens may make gooc
laws, but no law can make gooC
citizens. Good men will observ,
even bad laws, but bad men vii
break even good laws.
He might have added that ever
good men viii evade or only nom
inally observe bad laws which they
can neither approve nor hope tt
have repealed, and that attempts
to enforce bad laws only tend tc
decrease respect for good laws.
The laws which are intended to
make people good by regulating
their personal conduct and habits
in matters which concern only
themselves and their conscience,
viii only be observed by those who
are already good" according to
the conception of the trainers of
such laws. Those who are inclined
to be bad will continue to be bad,
just the same, under the impress
sion, from their viewpoint, that
they are not bad, at all. The stand
ard of morals differs, very often in
accordance with local customs and
Individual environment. The Sab
bafarian, for example, cannot be
persuaded that he is not a good
citizen because he refuses to OBJ
serve the law which would require
him to substitute the first day of
the week for the seventh as a day
of rest and worship any more than
would the conscientious observer of
the Lord day feel impelled to OBJ
serve another day of the week in
stead as a religious obligation in a
country III which there is no union
of Church and State.
Local sentiment and customs, as
well as individual tastes and incli-
nations govern in many things
which some Legislators would seek
to regulate by statutory enact
ment, and enforcement of such
laws is only possible in communi-
ties in which they are sustained by
local sentiment. Such laws are apt
to tend more to making bad men
of good ones by tempting them to
violations than to make bad men
good by revolutionizing their tastes
anc habits so as to conform with
the moral ideas and tastes and
habits of those who are. responsible
for the making of such laws. Per
haps this IS what Governor Folk
meant when he said that Good
citizens may make good laws, but
no law can make good citizens. .
There is the complaint in nearly
al of the States that moral Legis-
ators who do not comprehend con-
litions in the centers of population
to make laws to govern the
anger cities which are obnoxious
10 the urban citizenship which be-
ieves itself capable of looking after
is own morals, and which adopts
ocal laws or ordinances to fit local
and local sentiment
There are State statutes in full
operation in North and East Texas /
which have never been and prob I
IDLY never will be enforced in some
of South and West Texas,
where the standard of private and
public morals IS quite as high from

announcement was made toda
by General Passenger Agent Doher
ty that the Robstown-Sinton ex
tension of the Gulf Coast Line
which has just been completed
will be placed in regular operation
on Monday, the 10th inst, an
that effective the same day
through passenger service betweei
Brownsville and intermediate point
on the Gulf Coast Line and Hous
ton and San Antonio will be inaug
urated in connection with the S
A. & A. P. R'y at Sinton.
To meet the establishment of thi
new service, an entirely new SEIZED
ule will become effective on The
Gulf Coast Line next Monday, anc
the S. A. & A. P. will inaugurate al
additional daily train between Sin
ton and Kennedy, where connection
will be made with its main line
Davy Crockett night trains both
east and west bound for Houston
and San Antonio.
According to the new shedule,
the regular passenger of the Gulf
Coast Line will leave Brownsville
at $40 a. m, and arrive at Sinton
at 6:20 p. m. Immediately upon
its arrival at Sinton the new train
via the Sap will leave for Kennedy
connecting there with the Davy
Crockett which arrives at Hous-
ton at 7:45 a. M, and at San An
tonic at 7:25 a. IN.
Southbound the services will
operate in conjunction with the
Sap's Davy Crockett, " leaving
both Houston and San Antonio at
1915 p. m, passengers leaving the
two cities at the hour named will
find themselves aboard the Gulf
Coast Line passenger train which
will leave Sinton at 10 o'clock the
next morning, and arrive at
Brownsville at 7:25 the next even
ing.
An important change which the
new time card makes necessary at
fects Corpus Christi, which has
heretofore considered itself the
northern terminus of sthe Gulf
Coast Line. Hereafter the service
rom this city will be limited to a |
with main line trains at
zingsville, the morning train leav- |
ng here at $40 a. M, making con-
lection with main line passenger
outh bound and the evening train |

will not be impaired in the least by
he change.
Trains on the Hidalgo branch
will conform their schedule to meet
he change on the main line All
rains will be operated daily ex-
ept Sunday.
The establishment of this new
ervice will doubtless prove a great
'oon to southwest Texas, and may
e expected to have a most benef-
ial effect on its subsequent develop

ration is the material cut in the

In the five Japanese armies opposing General Lineyitch, exclusive of cavalry and artillery. it estimates that there are from 4sO,0OO to 45000o bayonets, which gives Field Marshal Oyama a de- cided numerical superiority over the strength usually allotted to Linevitch's s army.

"On the morning of June 20 our cav airy re-occupied points on the Mandarin road.

The fight ended in the evening, the enemy remaining some four miles south of this spot, It was found later that two regiments of Japanese infantry and two regiments of cavalry with machine, mountain and field guns had advanced along the Mandarin road. x:

but half as much? He really liked to indulge in kind actions, and had the charitable sentiment of the Good Samaritan, who, if a hyman, was 2 Jew.

 Alphonse de Rothschild went to England at the age of eighteen
 with a corps of engineers and other specialists, to study railways there. He caught an English air wholly free from laffectation, and accompanied with more refinement than one sees among city men north of the Channel. He be- came chairman of the board of direc- tors of the Northern line, and regent of the Bank of France at the age of ltwenty-six and went on filling these posts for over fifty years. He acted in them under a sense of his responsibili- ties, and in a rather religious spirit, but that of a cultured Jew who owed much to his family and his race, and who wished well to the rest of the world and to the country he had adopt ed. By birth he was a citizen of Frankfort
 As railroads increased in Europe the power of the house of Rothschild grew with them. Alphonse twenty years ago had servile packs of aristo- cratic guinea-pigs all over the Conti- nent ready to do his bidding. Not that he wanted their obeisance. It could have given him no pleasure, beyond assuring him that their race, creed, or aristocfatic prejudices would not stand I in his way He grew to believe too much in the power of obstacles. Not many months ago he and a director of | the Nord, a ClericalS were talking of the impending separation of Church
 and State, and weighing the pros and cons. Somebody present spoke of the
 great opposition the republic met with from the clergy. Said the baron: Why
 do not the republicans double. their
 salaries? The clergy would then be for

ALPHoNsE DE RoTHscHILD.

E Baron Alphonse de Rothschild was his fathers son, the nephew of the
 Rothschild banks in Frankfort, the parent house, London, Vienna, and
 Naples. The five Rothschild brothers
 seemed superficial lookers-on to be
 possessed of the fulcrum that Archi- ,medes needed to lift the world from
 it's foundations. The most powerful of the five was James, the father of Al
 phonse, who died last week, because he operated in the richest country in
 Europe in soil, geographical, and cli-
 matic conditions, and, above all, In
 the brains of it's ,splendidly gifted, |hard-working and thrifty people. The
 close financial concert of the five,
 when steam loeomotion and electric 'telegraphy were in their infancy, made in the forties the Paris bank as head,
 served by five powerful arms. They
 had negotiated most of the State loans that followed the Napoleonic wars.
 When Metternich wanted millions to
 build forts round Lo21bardy or to send
 troops into the States of the Church, | " de Rothschild took up the concession for the Northern Railroad, and gave
 his son Alphonse, when the later was twenty two, the managing position
 which he held on to to the hour of his death. The Rothschilds could know what was being done in every court in Europe. If events took them by sur priser as in 1S48, it was because of theil
 mental limitations; and yet I heard Michelet say that he rarely met a more perspieaeious of the tendencies of his time than Baron Anselm de Rothschild, of Frankfort to whom he had a letter of introduction E 50 long ago as 1S45. ,a:.

QUANTITIES OF ESCAPING GAS
Annoys Residents of Upper Section of of the Eighth Ward.

Annoys Residents of Upper Section of
 of the Eighth Ward.
 Yesterday morning the residents of the upper part of the Eighth ward, ir- cluding Edwards, Humphrey, Bishop, State, and Orange streets were greatly annoyed by a strong smell of gas es- caping in large quantities, and over a hundred of the residents examined the gas pipes in their houses but could find no leak. @
 Last night an inquiry at the gas con- pany's office elicited the information that the man in charge of the offices knew nothing about it, nor did he know any one who did.
 The escaping gas evidently proceeded from the big new main which is being laid in that section Last fall sixteen inch main was laid in Division street, and down Gamer as far as Orange street. This spring it has been carried through Orange street to Edwards, to State and through State to near Bish- op. From here it will be carried through State street to Hamilton, to the gas house on East street. The old mains are being torn up and the in creased Service will be much appre- ciated in the Eighth ward.

HER LAST BREATH.

I heard a story the other day which is probably as old as the hills, though I never had the luck to hear it before
 It was of a somewhat lengthy railway journey in very warm weather. A elderly lady. seated in one corner of | the carriage, was provided with an in
 dia rubber cushion for her greater comfort, but unfortunately owing to the heat and continued pressure the cushion suddenly exploded. The old Ilady was in despair, even to tears. over the misfortune to the wind bag,
 and again and again reverted to her
 misfortune. Tut, woman" said a
 commercial traveller in another corner
 of the carriage, it's not worth mak- in fuss about You will get it re- paired in town for about IS pence 2 "It,s no that I'm vexed aboot--it's no the price. That easy snorted.
