PLACE COFFIN WITH THREAT. EWING NOTE ON p. B,
 HENRY'S GATE.
Later the Mans Wife Died. Leavinu Him With Seven Motherless
 Children.

Locust Cottage, Dec. 13.-Threo weeks ago last Saturday night a lit tie black coffin was laid upon Mr. P. B. Henryss front gate post, and lit tie note, threatening Mr Henry's lfn, was tied on the top of the coffin.
 Last Saturday evening at 3 o'clock death entered his home and took away the life of the wife and mother Mrs. Henry was taken sick on Sun day night, December 3, and il was soon evident that her condition was vcry serious Relatives and few friends and the physicians cane in and did all they could to save life but to no avail.
 Seven children, ranging in age from two to sixteen, and the father, are left to endure persecution and islander itself, without the words of comfort and consolation of the best friend tbey had on earth
 But thanks be unto God, who doeth all things well, they will never forget that the kind of life she had lived Was reflected in the songs she sung as death was approaching and how sweetly she joined in singing: "We shall meet beyond the river.
 In that happy cline above,
 Where with all the blest forever,
 We shall sing redeeming love"
 And after singing the chorus she continued:
 There we'll meet our blessed Savior
 Who has bought us with his blood, There we,n sing his praise forever
 Round the shining throne of God"
 Mrs. Henry's mother died when Mittie was only sixteen and her two slder sisters married fifteen months leter leaving her to take the place of as she now leaves her oldest dalleh. ter, Mary. Il was during this time of responsibility that Mittio's hands were trained to work as few hands are trained, and her mind became ac- custoned to forgetting self and sca- ing after the needs of others aui these two traits of her character were maintained by her as long as she lived
 
 Sfch things as malice and preil dice were never allowed to take uD their abode in her mind and she could speak as gently 10 her enemies as to a friend or brother
 The evils n entioned above were often used against her, but she bore It all without a word of complaint.
 When the time came for her body to be carried from the house to the hearse her brothers and nephew act ed as pail bearers, in the absence of others. but at the graveyard the scene was changed, and host of friends were ready with hands and flowers to lay her away ill peace
 While it is very hard to give her up those nearest and dearest to her can take much consolation in the of how she sang Jesus. lover of my soul,
 Let me to thy bosom fly
 We know that dear sister and mother is "Where the wicked cease rom troubling and the weary are at rest -

THEATRICAL.

1t is a high compliment in itself to
say that MIR. Hanford did not disap-
point the high expectations, but on
the contrary, even surpassed them in
his excellent and finished performance
of the Shakespearesn comedy. More
than this it may be said in justice to
MIR. Banford that no other actor seen
in Washington has so thoroughly
realized the part of the adventurous
and commanding Petruchio. His con-
ception and Interpretation of the role
bore the impress of individuality. He
interpreted the character with refresh
ing spirit and dash, and entered into
full appreciation of its every mood
Much applause was aroused during the
performance, and at the close, in re-
Spouse to insistent hsndclapping, Mr..
Hantord appeared before the curtain
and told the audience in an appro-
pirate speech how highly he valued
their hearty expression OF approval.
Not only was Mr.. Hsnsford's work
of an excellent character, but that of
every prominent member of the cast
was thoroughly acceptable, and the
entire performance proceeded with
commendable spirit and vim. As the
shrewish Katherine, Miss Drofnah
shared the honors with Mr.. Hansford,
giving an intelligent delineation of the
part and evidencing proper spprecia-
ton of its requirements both in the
violent outbursts of temper and in her
display of gentle, womanly qualities

completed. Washington ID. % Even

THE city council has again fixed
the date for holding the election
to determine whether or not Pal
estine shall issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for a new
school building for the Fourth
Ward, and for improving the
other school buildings of the city.
The date designated is January
18th, 1906. This is a most inn
portant matter, and Palestine cit
liens owe it as a duty to them
selves and to the children of the
city to see that this measure car
ries. 1t will have some opposi-
ton: that is conceded. But this
opposition will not come from
the friends and patrons of the
schools.

THOSE GAS FRANCHISES.

From the number of parties
making application for gas fran
chises it would appear that Pal
estine is the most inviting field
in the State. A few days ago a
franchise was granted the Federal
Gas company, after that concern
had been working for about one
wear for it. This franchise was.
granted after a most thorough
investigation by a special COM
mittee appointed by the mayor
which went to TeXarkana, at the
expense of the gas company, and
made thorough examination OF
the plant there, owned and con-
trolled by this company. Assoon
as the franchise was granted the
report was circulated that Mr..
McGoldrick, the company's rep
resentative. had offered to sell to
the electric light plant. This the
gentleman vigorously denied to
the HERALD men, to the council
men, and again last night de-
clared such a report was utterly
untrue; that his company was an
independent concern, and would
build and operate a plant indie
pendently. Who started such a
report and for what purpose
Now, since the granting of this
franchise Mr.. Williams. claim
ing to come from Chicago, has
flied al application for fran
chise, offering as an inducement,
much cheaper gas than the Fed
eral Gas company promises. Still
another concern butts into the
field, the Texas Gas and Improve
ment company, represented by
people coming from Houston. In
cidentally it has been suggested
by more than one citizen that
Houston is the home of Col. Geo.
w. Burkiit, and that the Colonel
is the genius loci of the Palestine
Electric plant, or in other words
that he owns the controlling stock
and that the electric light plant
does not wish to see gas plant
installed in Palestine. Be that as
it may; the HERALD does moi
make the charge. 1t only eau
tions the council to proceed will
care, and before granting fran
chises to others weigh carefully
the facts, and do not do thing
that may defeat the movement tt
give the city gas plant. Aiuer
man Ozment submitted a list Of
questions to be propounded these
franchise seekers, at the council
meeting last night. Some of then
were quite pertinent. and SHOULD
be answered to the entire satisfac
ton of the council before grant
ing another gas franchise. While
the resolution was under discus
sion two of the three aldermen
composing the ordinance commit
tee opposed this resolution, an'
when submitted to vote tn
resolution was lost.
Competition is a good thin
when it does not destroy. Thes
matters demand the most careful
and searching consideration.
