CROWD ON BEACH
HUNGRY AND MAD.
Nearly Three Thousand People
Held at West Point Until
Early Morning.
WENT DOWN FOR GOOD TIME.

Nearly 5000 happy hearted excur-
sionists who went from Richmond to
Beach Park. via tho Southern Rail-
way. Thursday, expecting to be at
homo and safe in bed by midnight,
were forced, much to their inward and
outward discomfort, to spend tho
night at the resort, reaching home only
at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Hungry and tired and cross, tho
pleasure-seekers wandered aimlessly
about the beach. or else gathered in
groups, and tried to cheer themselves
with fires made on the sands from pal-
7ings torn from tho fences around.
Most of them had spent all the money
they had during the course OF the day,
and as the hours wore away patenca
went with them and hunger came,
Hunger but served as oil for the vials
Of their wrath. and when the first
pearl tints OF dawn came out in thu
east the motley crowd, all disheveled
and wearied out with the long night
and loss OF sleep, presented a pitiable
sight. Haggard women and men with
drawn faces and blood shot eyes vera
wondering If they had really had any
pleasure on their trip. and ready to
| believe that they had not. and that
fate had been more than usually un-;
kind to them.
At length tho train came, and tho
weary throng boarded it, arriving In
Richmond at o'clock yesterday morn.

Mrs. Carter reported at the one

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru. beaten
in her attempt TO climb the highest
of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself, but the worthlessness or
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
WINGED that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS it was she reached a height OF
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid or
the trip and especially as they APP
preached the top OF the mountain, OF
which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aoand'
oned.

A remarkable souvenir of the assas-
tination of Abraham Lincoln recently
came to light i'm New York. 1t is the
pocket diary of DR.. Charles s. Taft,
who formerly resided at No. 273 West
Twenty-second street In his time
DR.. Taft was an eminent physician
and attended many notables, among
them Governor o. p Morton of lndi-
ana. But no experience in his life
equaled the one he records in his note
book.
He was present at Fords Theatre
that fatal night and witnessed all of
the tragedy which ended in the death
of Lincoln. He was one of the first
physicians to reach the wounded pres
ident's side. was present at his death,
and helped to perform the autopsy.
DR.. Taft's personal account of these
occurrences is embodied in his notes,
which evidently were never intended
for publication.
The diary was found in a pile of
miscellaneous SCRAPS in the baling
room of the Salvation Army Industrial
Home. at No. 52S West Thirtieth
street.
The army home has fifteen wagons,
each having it's own territory. These
make daily trips throughout the city
collecting waste material of all kinds
which householders are glad to get
rid of. The wagons discharge their
,oads every evening at the warerooms
Of the Industrial Home.

he held in his right hand for about the
space of three seconds, then darted

A LAND PRODUCING
TWO CROPS PER YEAR
Marvelously Rich; Enormous Yield;
Farmers Flockng In.

Brownsville, Tex, Feb. 5.-Browns-
vile is the southern terminus of the
st. Louis. Brownsville & Mexico rail-
way. This line was completed in 1904,
and has opened up to development
section of the richest and most pro-
ductive land TO be found anywhere in
the United States-California not ex-
cepted.
There is no more fertile region In
all this broad land of ours than that be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande.
None will produce a.greater variety Oh
fruits and vegetables, or produce them
more abundantly; and what counts loi
more, the Gulf coast country will pro-
duce them at times when no other re-
gion can. Two crops per year OF the
staple vegetables is the regular pro-
gramme. And yet up to the fail OF
1904 comparatively little was known
of this marvellous fertility. The re-
gion has heretofore been given over
to cattle raising-ranches of thousands
of acres-thus tying up all this vast
natural Winter Vegetable Garden un-
der the merciless hoof of Texas beer
producers.
But this is all changing and chang
ing fast. Eastern and northern farm
ers and fruit growers are fiocking into
this country. Towns are springing up
ranches have been cut up into farms
ON every hand is the evidence OF a
new era OF prosperity and Of develop
ment along the line of extensive irri'
gated farming.
There is an underlying sheet oil
clear artesian water which has been
tapped by hundreds of wells. and more
are being sunk daily. This provides
a never-failing source of supply for the
one element needed to make this coun
try veritable garden, and there are
those who predict great things for this
Gulf coast of Texas. ] am advised
that 16 car loads OF people were
brought down from different points
along the st. Louis, Brownsville d
Mexico railway by the Rock lslan'
trains alone on January ID. which wa
the date of a low-rate excursion.
At this pace the country bids TAI
to be peopled in short order. And al
it needs is people.

The standard biographies of Lin
colin and the newspapers of 1865 make
brief mention of DIR. Taft as being
present at the presidents death and
the autopsy. There can be no doubt
of the genuineness of the notes. The
house on Twentytsecond street former
" occupied by DIR. Taft, is now
boarding house, and the doctors name
Is unknown TO the present occupant.
Some of the older residents in the
neighborhood. however, remember him,
but indistinctly.
DIR. Taft begins his memoranda OF
the great tragedy in these words
"Notes of the circumstances attend
ing the assassination of Abraham Lin
