Charles NJ. Schwab, the young mil
lionaire who was once the head of the
steel trust and Is now completing in
New York the costliest private resi-
dence in the world, has once again re
marked that education and culture unnt
young men for success in life. Per
haps this is largely true 50 far as
Schwab's observation extends But 1t
must be understood that the brain Of
Charles NJ Schwab has very limited
horizon. Great successes are being
achieved every day for the development
and betterment of humanity, which a
Schwab can no more appreciate and
comprehend than pig can understand
art. The pig-come to think Of it-has
tiny little brain. But every fraction
Of It's intellectual energy is devoted to
the welfare of It's stomach. You see
lot Of so-called human beings that
seem to be built on the same plan.
There Is a sort Of fatality leading them
to the accumulation Of money. They
have marvellous cunning In getting rich,
but If you touch their minds on any
other question you may find them blank.
The man who thinks Of nothing but
making money may not be capable OF
realizing that other people can think
of nobler purposes. Like the pig, with
its snout so deep In the trough that
its eyes are buried in the slop its hu-
man prototype may also be unable to
see or think Of anything In the world
but the one business Of getting all that's
to be got 1t is right and proper that
the pig should have no thought but for
its stomach-it is made that way. But
with man 1t is different; to have a
pigs mind he must acquire 1t by kill
ing the best there Is in him. BY will
he renounces manhood and debases
himself to the level of the animal. He
spills no blood, but he murders a man
to make q pig. 1t Is the basest Of
suicides, and perhaps the cOmmOnest
1t Is right and proper, too, that a
man should make all the money he can
get honestly and use wisely. The man
who makes money, as a means to an
end, is not to be despised. He Is doing
his part Of the worlds work, and the
part is no small or ignominious one.
But there are other duties in the world
DesIdes making money. There are
qualities In the human mind and soul
infinitely more important than those
which make large accumuladons Of
money possible

ORIGIN OF THE NAME TEXAS.
Data in Old Geography Leads to Be-

Data in Old Geography Leads to Be-
lief that 1t Came from "Tecas."
Edward w. Heusinger of San An
tonic has just added to his collection
Of old and rare books geography
which was published in 1747, says the
New York Tribune. The maps in this
book are remarkably well executed and
are interesting in that they show the
parts of the world as they were known
at that time. On one of the maps the
northwestern part Of North America Is
shown as parts undiscovered" Aus
tralia was also one partly undiscovered
and 1t is shown as the land Of New
Holland" with New Guinea and "Van
Dieman's Land" now called the island
of Tasmania, as one supposed continent
New Zealand, too, is shown as a partly
discovered new land. The Hawaiian
islands had not been heard of.
The Atlantic Ocean was at that time
called the western Ocean" What is
now the Pacific Ocean was called the
Great South Sea-" and the Caribbean
Sea was then known as the. North
Sea" Another important map in those
days was that of Mexico, known as
New Spain" and what Is now Texas
was then the Province of louisiana >
The French settlement Of "Natchi-
! koches" is shown and the countries Of
| the Natchez and Apache Indians are
indicated and it is interesting to note
/ the Rio de Norte," which, according
to this wonderful map, rises among
some mountains In land about where
South Dakota now Is.
Mr.. Heusinger says one important
factor in the text of this work Is the
description of certain Indian tribes ito
ward the North River" (Rio Grande)
known as the 'Tecas," was then the
name for the reformed Indians living
III the missions, for 1t speaks of them
as having embraced Christianity" and
being the more passionate lovers OF
the Spaniards," Texas was therefore
no doubt, derived from the word tie

Why should the American citizen or
cltizeness who pays $500 in good money

1eers Of an inconsiderate pOpulace?
How are we ever going to have an
American aristocracy If the crowds In

exalted ambitions by hooting at the
patient performers in the field? If we
are not to have 'Burke's Peerage"
edited by society writer's and sold on
subscription to people who want their
names mentioned, we are left with no
standards Of aristocracy whatever. 1t
is very evident that a permanent so
cial distinction can never be estab-
lished in the United States If grand
turies are to be forever prying into the
circumstances by which the title to
social standing is acquired.

The COMMITTEES has been advised that any bill

of the Commissioner.
Fearing such possible legislation, captains

the courts for a mandamus to compel General
