TEXAS WOMEN CLASH RESPECT.
ING MISSION ADJOINING ALAMO.
Daughters Of Republic In Wransle
About Use of Site-Park Project
Meets Opposition Of Those
Wishing Museum.

San Antonio, Tex.-Texas women
composing the organization known as
the Daughters of the Republic are In
a wrangle that promises to make all
their former troubles over the Alamo
look small. The present trouble grows
out of the desire of faction in the
organization to tear away the old
mission of San Antonio de Valero. 1t
is proposed to replace the present un-
slightly fortresslike structure with a
park.
The old mission walls adjoin the
Alamo and cover large area of land.
This land was purchased by the state
at the last session of the legislature
and custody of it given to the Daugh-
ters of the Republic. 1t is claimed
by one side that a part of the old
adobe walls in the present building
stood in the original mission walls, be-
hind which the Texas patriots fought
and from which not one escaped alive.
The other faction contends that no
vestige of the old walls remains and
that 1t is practically impossible to To-
cate the old site with sufficient accur-
acy to restore the walls.
The war is being fought in the press
of Texas and 1t is to be taken before
the legislature with view to secur-
ing law authorizing the destruction
of the old mission. This mission was
purchased by Miss Clara Driscoll, now
Mrs. Hal Sewer, Texas woman who
has reputation as a novelist and
dramatist. She made 1t possible for
the state to purchase the Alamo and
the Mission de Velaro property by in
vesting her own money and holding
the property until the appropriation
was made.
The opposing faction Of Daughters
of the Republic in this Alamo battle
is led by Miss Adina de Zavala, daugh-
ter of veteran of the Texas war OF
independence. The fight is exceed
ingly acrimonious and involves many

Glass in Eish,s Stomach.

Palm Beach, Fla.-While fishing on
the Ocean pier negro pulled in a
good-sized kingfish. On cleaning it he
felt something hard in the stomach,

glasses attached to a delicate gold
chain, evidently intended for e wom-
ans wear. The guasses were not
broken. Emerson d. Prescott of

covery and bought the glasses from

Find 200 acres OF good land almost

The same land within ten miles will
bring $35. within Ave miles its value

Thus that town has increased the

Not considering staple articles like
cattle, hogs and grain which can be

markets were so glutted no ordinary
fruit would pay the express. Around

trees. The 1000 inhabitants. bought
nearly every bushel in the vicinity at

To be sure, the town does not do

not built for the purpose of philan-

Friends" said the preacher. "thero
are three things suggested by this
scripture; First, the transgressor.
Second. his conversion. Third. his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given. but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
1t is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton in every transaction is whether
1t is right or wrong. Not will save
money. but is it justg Not is 1t more
convenient, but is it fair? Not
whether is it good business. but
whether 1t is good morals?
For you and | know, and all the
world is coming to krow. that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And man may be as dis
honest in saving money as in getting
It.
1t is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send 1t
away because we are under obliga-
tions to the home town. but not TO
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is un-
der financial obligations to the town.
OF course the town is also indebted
to the country. but the town cannot
help but pay its debt, its very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side Of the OBJ

And some day when you find the

Yes. the town is mighty good

the more you put into 1t the more you
get out Of 1t. For 1t grows according
to the trade 1t gets and the more II
grows the more 1t can buy and the
higher will go your land.
The Moral Obligation.
But the last and strongest reason
why 1t Is right that the country peo
pie spend their money at home is the
moral obligation.
The town is yours, yours to ruin oi

ton should prompt you to support 1t

city is the menace of our morals and

The city like the dragon swallows
the vast throngs of country boys and

Even II you could gave little by

little home town with those you know,
those whose prosperity and happiness
are in your hands?

Project for Electric Line to Top oi

Geneva. = A daring engineering
scheme is attracting attention here.
Two engineers well known for their
work in designing mountain railroads
have applied to the federal council
for a franchise to construct a railway
from Zermatt to the top of the Matter
horn.
The project includes a cog and
rachel track from the Viege-Zermatt
station to the Lac Noir (2,50S meters)
tunneling through the Hoernli peak,
and two funicularres from the refuge
station to the summit (3,052 meters)
the latter being constructed in a tun-
mel with a gradient of 85 to 80 per
cent The whole system is to be cleo
trical.
The promoters intend to construct
buildings at the summit Sufficient to
accommodate number OF visitors, in
cluding. II feasible, a compressed air
room for persons who suffer from
mountain sickness. 1t is estimated
that it will require four years to con
struct the railroad. and that 1t Will
cost 100000 francs. The journey
from Zermatt to the summit will re.
ouire one hour and so minutes and
will cost so francs. At present the
accent takes "a hours. and charges for
guides amount to $50 francs.
