A Description of Christ.

This was found in an ancient
manuscript, sent by Publius Len
tulus. president of Judea, to the
Roman senate:
There lives at this time in
Judea a man Of singular character,
whose name IS Jesus Christ. The
barbarians esteem him as prophet,
but his followers adore him as the
immediate offspring of God. He
is endowed with such unparalleled
virtues as to be able to call back
the dead from their graves, and to
heal every sort Of disease with a
word or touch. His Poison is tall
and elegantly shaped, his aspact
amiable and reverend. His hair
flows in those beautiful shades
which no united colors can match,
falling in graceful curls below the
ears, agreeably touching on his
shoulders and parting on the crown
of his head like the headdress of
the sect called NaZarites. His
forehead is smooth and his cheeks
without a spot, save that of a
lovely red. His nose and mouth
are formed with exquisite SYM
netrv: his beard is thick and
suited to the hair of his head, reach
ing little below his chin and
parted in the middle like fork.
His eyes are bright, clear and
serene. He rebukes with majesty
and counsels with persuasive Ian
guage, his whole address, whether
in word or deed, being elegant,
grave and strictly characteristic OF
so exalted a being. No man has
ever seen him laugh, but all Judea
has frequently beheld his weep,
and so persuasive are him tears that
the multitudes are unable to restrain
theirs from mingling with his. He
is modest, temperate and wise.
Whatever this phenomenon may
be in the end, he now seems to be
a man of strange beauty and divine
perfection, in every way surprising
the children of men. -

AN agricultural department eX-
pert who has been visiting the
Brownsville country wonders why
the people of that section have not
engaged extensively in the cult
vation of oranges and lemons long
ago. Probably the explanation IS
that thet were waiting for the inl-
tiative. Now a start has been made,
the attention of fruit farmers has
been directed to the country and
its extraordinary advantages and
it will not be long before south
west Texas will be shipping car
loads of oranges and lemons to the
markets of the country.-San An

The Ball Game.

For nine innings on the post
diamond Saturday morning, Cor
pus Christi and Fort Brown played
good ball. For FIVE innings neither
side scored, and it began to look
like there would be a large nest OF
goose eggs for dinner. In the
sixth inning, however, Fort Brown
came to the front and piled UP
four runs, while the Corpus boys
tried their best to stop the whirl
wind but there was nothing doing
for the boys from the city by the
sea. There were some mighty
rood playing on both sides. ano

Row at a Revival Meeting.

In a town in Maine where there
were frequent revival meetings at
one time Mr.. Cole was preacher.
There was a man named Winslow
who did not know as much as
some whole families, but was al
ways the first to get pious' at
these revival meetings. There was
also a man by the name of Voter,
a fine and pious man.
During one meeting Winslow
and Voter had a quarrel. WinsloW
said if Voter got up to speak he
should speak also. Voter got up
and Winslow jumped up, and FL
der Cole, to stop the rumpus, COM
menced to sing Tell Me the Old,
Old Story" Winslow shook his
fist in Elder Coles face and said;

mine. Boston Herald.

SECOND GAME

Sunday morning another game
was called at $50, and this time
the Soldier boys were called upon
to do some good playing in order
to win out. The spectators saw
some extremely good playing, and
Notwithstanding a strong wind was
blowing from the south, many
splendid plays were made on both
slider. The teams were very even
" matched and until fourteen
innings had been played no one
knew who the winner would be as
the score stood 5 to 5. At last the
soldier boys sent one more man
over the home plate, and the game
was done, the score standing g to
5 in favor of Fort Brown. The
lineup of the two teams in the
second game was the same with
one or two exceptions.
A series of three games has been
arranged between the two teams
on the 18th, on the Corpus Christi
diamond, and Fort Brown will be
called upon to sustain abroad the
reputation she has made at home.
The Corpus team will play for all
that's out to take from the soldiers
the games they won here and also
add a third, and it is well known
a team does better work on its own
grounds, so Fort Brown will better
look little out and do the neces-
sary practicing to guard against
the possibility of defeat.

Parry Nor TO RUN AGAIN
POs the Presidency ~ the National Asas-
citation Of Manufacturer

ID. ~. Parry. president OF the National
Association Of Manufacturers, announced
yesterday at the first session Of lie annual
meeting In the Waldorf Astoria that he
would refuse q nomination for the preI-
dency this year. This move, II IL said, Is
the result Of the ef1oTts Of q faction opposed
TO Mr. Perry. For some time there has been
friction between the Parry adherents and
those who favored bis resignation. AZ the
last meeting Of the association In Atlanta
he made the same announcement, but when
It came time for the election his supporters
wouldn't have IL and he vas again chosen ,
but by a narrow mar gin. His opponents
say he can't do 1t again this year and any
way thsy think hs means what he says this
time.
A report read at the meeting urged tho
passage Of resolutions ~fsvoring the adop-
ton Of pure food laws.
Our information, " says the report shows
that a national pure food law has become
necessary. We are Of the opinion. however.
that Congress ought to 60 slow in the enact
ment OF any legislation regarding this sub
ject. Before a law is enacted it is necessary
that the evils 1t Is proposed to legislate
a gainst be defined in an exact manner.
AS to adulteration, 1t must be ad-
mitted that the addition OF substances other
than those used for preventative purposes
may, in some instances, be absolutely
necessary. 1t 10 yet an open question,
however, where beneficial mixing ends n
adulteration commences. The preserva-
ton OF food is a still harder matter to legis-
late upon. It Ii utterly impossible for any
manufacturer to put up certain articles OF
food for the trade without a P~reservative.
these questions must be settled by
competent Judges before the enactment Of
a national pure food law 10 attempted.
To this end we believe in the erection OF a
national commission to be composed as
follows: One physiological chemist, one
baoteriologist, one pathologist. one toxi-
cologist, one pharmacologfst and two
manufacturers OF food articles. Such COM
mission should get hold Of all testimony
possible. This testimony, together with
the commissions recommendations, should
be submitted TO Congress TO guide it's action
on Federal food legislation
The convention will be in session for the
next three days. Three hundred delegates
are here from all parts Of the country.

r. C. Rickmers, the largest vessel Of her
kind In the world, arrived last night at
Sandy Hook on her maiden voyage from

With all her sails set her estimated speed
Is II knots, and with only her engines she
can go through the water at a five knot
gait. The fore, main, mizzen and jigger
masts are square rugged and she oarries
fore and aft sail on her aftermast. Her
crew numbers fifty all told,
The Rickmers left Bremen on April % and
is consigned to Theodore Kruger Il Co. She
will load here with oil for Japan. and will
carry $50 900 cases in her hold. On board
the vessel are A. Riokmers, senior member
of the firm that built her, and Harry Wuppe-
sahl, an insurance broker, who is a Bremen
Alderman.

REPLYING to a question about the D'Angely
case In the House Of Commons this evening,
the Government was fully alive to the i'm
portanoe Of the subject and had found
that there was a general desire for a full
inquiry as to the duties OF the police In deal
ing with drunkenness and solicitin and
the manner in which those dutie wer 9
discharged. The Government proposed to
appoint a royal commission for that purpose.
Sir Henry was asked whether compensa-
ton would be given Nine. d'Angely for
the injury she had suffered. He replied
that that would constitute an incident Of the
inquiry.
