FALL IMMIGRATION
General Freight Agent Sterley
Discusses Prospects for
Heavy Fall Business.

W. r SlSIlSy, SSHeIdl llSlSHt
agent of the Fort Worth & Denver
City railroad, is in receipt of let
ter from Mr.. Grundy OF Memphis,
Texas, wherein he announces that
the scholastic census has recently
been taken, which shows a scholas-
increase of 40 per cent in the coun-
ty and AZ per cent in the town.
This shows an increase over the
census of year ago.
Mr.. Sterley cites this to show the
rapid growth of the Panhandle, In
fact, Mr.. Sterley is very much en-
Unused over the immigration pros
pect in the section referred to just
at present. He asserts that the
tide of immigration into the Pan
handle is almost incredible and
says it will continue to grow.
He makes the assertion that the
principal immigration into that
section at present is from other and
more thickly populated sections of
Texas. The immigration from
the North" he said, lis settling
the more improved and civilized
sections of the state, and the older
Texans in the central, southern and
eastern portions of the state are
selling their farms to the newcom-
ers and are moving to the west,
where they can get five acres of
land for the price paid for one acre
of their former homesteads. Nor
therners coming into the state have
been raised in country where the
land is high and farmhouses are
found very close together. There
! fore when northeners come to Tex
as they think they will starve to
death on land which can be pur-
chased at such a low figure as the
quotations on Panhandle land
They desire to get into a thiCkly
settled section, where customs are
thoroughly established and neigh
bors are within hearing distance
Consequently they purchase land
in the older sections of the state
and the older farmers selling to the
new Corners fold their tents and be.
take themselves to the west.
Mr.. Sterley asserts that after the
present crops are harvested and
marketed the immigration to Texas
will be like a swarm of bees. The
great railroad systems are working
as they have never heretofore work
ed and the prospects are fair for a
larger western and southwestern
movement of immigration that has
ever been known.
Another reason which Mr.. Sterley
assigns for the scarcity of northern
ers in the Panhandle is the fact
that the large railroad systems such
as the Southern Pacific, the Katy,
the Frisco, the Rock Island, the
Santa Fe. the Cotton Belt, and all
others which operate similarly are
interested in populating the sec
tions along their lines For this
reason the advertising done in the
North and and East is calculated to
promote the advantages of eastern,
central, southern and southwestern
Texas, while the Panhandle is out
of the booklets and prospectuses.
He asserts, however, that the Fort
Worth & Denver and other Pan
handle lines, assisted by the people
of that section are gradually over
coming this drawback, and it is for
this reason that Mr.. Sterley pre-
diets a greater immigration into the
Panhandle during the fall than ever
before.

RICH WEDDING PRESENTS.
GIFTS TO PRESIDENTS DAUGH-
TER THE MOST M4GNLFICENT
EYER PRESENTED.

Valued at Hundreds of Thousands OF
Dollars-kare Tapestries, Silk,
Jewelry and other Ornaments from
Every Country.
No other American girl has received
wedding presents so numerous, valu-
able or interesting as those which
have been showered upon President
Roosevelts oldest daughter. Nelly
Grant who, next to Alice Roosevelt,
had the most brilliant White House
wedding received many costly gifts
from all parts of the world but her
trophies pale by comparison with those
of the first White House bride of the
present century. For one thing there
were only two hundred guests at the
marriage Of Nelly Grant and Algernon
Sartoris whereas nearly one thousand
persons were invited to the White
House wedding of 1906 and of course
the number of presents in the latter
case outnumbers those in the former
instance in the same proportion.
Recognized as Great World Power.
Then too, Uncle Sam was not near
ly so much of World Power in the
days OF President Grant as he has
been since the Spanish-American
War and consequently it is small won
der if the various rulers Of the world
have manifested greater interest in the
nuptials of the daughter of the pres
ent Chief Magistrate than they did
in the similar event quarter of Gen.
fury ago.
However, it should be explained
just here that President Roosevelt's
daughter has received very few pre-
sents from foreign governments-al-
most all Of the gifts having come from
the sovereigns or other rulers as in
dividuals. That the governments
should not send tokens was the express
wish of President and Mrs. Roosevelt
and was clearly indicated to the

AS to the little unfortunates who are
classed as ungovernable, who run
away from home, etc.--the fault lies
largely in the home. Indifference,
neglect and Ill treatment are the
causes Of juvenile crime. Third class
theatres and their flaming advertise
ments are frequently the incentive to
petty thieving in order to obtain the
price Of admission, while the gay
career Of the villain in the play fires
the imagination OF the slum children

him a crosSeyed view Of morality.

methods are most severely criticised.

MESSAGES UNDERGROUND.
Jesuit Of Pennsylvania the Invent
or OF New Wireless Telegraph
System.

Father Joseph Murgas of Wilkes
BARRE pennsylvania, expects, within
lhe next month or two to be able to
SEND wireless messages to Europe by
means or his new system which is
now In practical operation.
since the completion of the aerial
wireless system and its development
to its present stage of perfection
Father Murgas has been experiment.
ing with an underground service
winch he believes will be more valu-
able than the aerial system. His ex.
periments so far have been limited
to short distances with moderate cleo.
trical power and shallow holes. But
he is now completing underground
stations in Wilkes-Barre and Scran.
ton and will conduct the experiments
on a larger scale.
80 far as he has proceeded with
this work, so successfully. has his
theory OF underground wireless tel
egraph worked out that recently he
announced he had no doubt of his
ability to send an underground mess
age to Europe and that the expert
ment will shortly be made, despite
the fact that it is estimated it will
cost $4,000.
To accomplish this, he says, a shaft
5000 feet deep must be sunk in this
country, and one Of similar depth in
Europe. Each Of these will have to be
concerted to render Il impervious to
dampness, which would destroy the
efficiency Of the wires with which the
sending and receiving apparatus will
be connected with the surface. A
great deal of power will also be re-
quired.
The shafts at Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton are 300 feet deep and the
distance is eighteen miles The shaft

water Upon coming to the surface,
however, she was seized by the Newark
heroine who brought her safely to
shore.
For her act of heroism, Miss Titus,
who is only sixteen years old, was a
warded a Carnegie medal, although
at the time her name was under con-
sideration, hundreds of other persons
were brought forward as worthy of re-
ward.
Since receiving the medal Miss
Titus's father died leaving insufficient
money to send her to college as she
craved. Miss Reifsnyder, apprised the
Carnegie commission Of her friends
desire for an education and the com.
mission decided to grant her $4,000
Five hundred dollars of this is to be
paid upon her entrance to school
$500 annually in advance for three
years, and $500 at her graduation
This is the largest reward ever given
by the commission, the highest previ-
iouS being $1,000.

Miss Maud Titus Presented With
Medal and an Education.

When Miss Maud Titus of Newark,
N. j., rescued her friend Laura Reif-
snyder from drowning in a yachting
accident in Casco Bay, Nova Scotia,
July 80, 1904, she did not know that
her act placed her under the watchful
eye of Andrew Carnegie, the Steel
King. Miss Titus and her unfortunate
friend were out yachting on that fate
full day when a sudden squall upset
their yacht. Miss Titus is an expert

Father Murgas' wireless system diff

the Morse system and substituting
musical tones-each tone represent

of words, so that speed about ten
times as great as the fastest Morse
code can be attained.

designed as a gift either for royalty or
| for some distinguished son OF France
and even such honor has been paid
but rarely.
1t was the wish of the French people
and officials to present to the White
House bride the most exquisite and
precious thing that could be selected
and quite naturally they selected a
special product of their best workshop.
This Gobelin tapestry,-the only one
of the kind ever sent to this country,
has as its design a reproduction OF
a painting made by Ehrman of Stras-
burg, a famous Alsatian painter.
The tapestry is two feet wide and
four feet long and the predominating
colors are blue, green and yellow. 1t
was made fully fifty years ago and the
subject is allegorical in character, re-
presenting a woman of the Middle
Ages dressed in long flowing robes of
blue and yellow and standing before
lectern making Examinations upon
scroll. The figure is almost in pro-
file and the dark hair is curled about
the head in classic style. Around the
main picture is border wider at
each end and narrower on the sides
in which wreaths, leaves and medal
lions appear at intervals. This tap
estry, small as it is, is said to be worth
from $4,000 to $4,000
Jeweled Necklace from Cuba.
For the new Republics gift to the
daughter of President Roosevelt the
Cuban government appropriated the
sum of $4,000 and the Cuban Minis
ter at Paris was entrusted with the
task of purchasing the handsomest
jeweled necklace that could be obtain
ed with this sum. The White House
bride, by the way, has received sever
al pearls and diamond necklaces.
Most Of them have come, however,
from relatives Of the bride and
New York friends.
