LONDON PLANS
GRAND PAGEANT
To Depict Scenes of British
History.
Will Surpass All Previous Efforts Of Nod.
erd Psgcantry-lO.OOO Performers
VIII Portray Romantic Events
Of Early England.

MOST Americans VINO are tOOkluS
toward to visiting Europe next
summer will be interested in a
great show that is in preparation
in London. The success achieved
at the various great pageants of
1907 has suggested that a fitting
climax would be'the holding of a
grand pageant in London next
July, to be called the London His
torical Pageant of 1908, which will
undoubtedly produce result far
exceeding anything that has been
attempted before.
As far as one pageant itself is
concerned it is proposed that it
should cover all the most important
episodes in the history of London,
which practically is the history of
the nation, arranged by historical,
art and musical committees on the
successful lines which were carried
out at Oxford. Authoritative and
specialized subcommittee are be-
ing appointed, consisting of the
foremost men of the day, in order
to secure the best results in the
literary, musical and artistic sides
of the pageant.
From every point of view. the
proposed London pageant of 1908
promises practically to be the last
word i'll modern pageantry so sue
cessfully initiated by Louis N.
Parker
As regards the number of per
formers taking part, they will
consist of from 1000 to 10, 900 men
and women recruited from all the
municipal boroughs of London. In
the majority of instances the per-
formers will contribute their own
dresses, etc.
A magnificent site has been
selected in the heart of fashionable
London. to which the busy life of
the great city does not reach. where
no sound is heard to mar the
beauty of the sylvan scene. where
stately trees, a broad stretch of
water and turfs provide a fitting
scene for the pictures of London in
the days of old, which are being
arranged by committee, in cor
nection with which Oman Chi |
chiele. professor of modern history |
at Oxford, is taking a prominent |
part.
Some idea of the wide scope of
he London pageant may be gather
ID when it is stated that the first
scene under consideration will
lepict the great sacrifice to Diana
which took place on the site where
St. Paul's now stands, the pageant
.nding with scenes depicting the
laws of the powdered wig and
Genes of the Eighteenth Century.

DIRT will fly on the Brownsville
waterworks and electric plant to-
morrow. The great day, when
these utilities will be in every
day nse in Brownsville may
be said to be at hand, and it
will be of no use to try to hold
down the town now. You knockers
may as well go way back and sit
down, and you would better be
sure to see that you sit well to one
side of the road, else you will get
gun over by the car of progress.

One New Fact.

San Antonio, Tex.-Mayor Combe of
Brownsville continued his direct testi-
mony before the Penrose court-martial

were hitherto obscure. He testified

ing their guns in the presence of ofi-
GERS who witness supposed were Major

ing of August II. On the same morn
ing witness placed several empty car

thing, but how they got their arms, or
why they did it, don't know"
1t also developed that the inspection
of the arms the morning. following the
raid was made by a negro non-commis-
stoned officer and that Penrose had not
inspected the arms at the
time the committee called at the post.

WHISKY MEN NOW AT PEACE
After Bitter Fight Between Straight
Distillers and Blenders.

Louisville, Ky.-After a stormy ses-
sion, during which bitter fight ragged
between the straight and blended whis-
ky interests, peace settled over the
Kentucky distillers' association, which
began it's annual session here today.
An attempt was made by the straight
interests to have the association reor-
ganized, eliminating from membership
all manufacturers of blended articles,
but the blenders proposed that the con-
ventiOn forget its differences and call
national convention for the purpose of
legislating against the keepers of low
saloons. The suggestion was indorsed
and resolution was later adopted call
ing Tor national convention in Louis
vile to draft model license law to be
submitted to congress. The resolution
provides for the appointment of COM
mittee which will take up the work of
with the various liquor
dealers associations of the United
States

GALVESTON BREAKS RECORD
Receipts of Cotton Already Total
Over Three Million Bales.

Galveston, Texas - This port has
broken all records in cotton receipts
Since Sept. Galveston has received
1908, ,45S bales of cotton, and the staple
continues to arrive at an average of
10000 bales per day. A few years ago
such a figure even for an entire season
was never dreamed of, and less than
three years ago 100000 bales for q
full season was considered q record
breaking movement. The record for
the entire season of 1866 was 2,656, 900
bales at Galveston, or 1868 less than
the first five months o. Che present sea-
son, which will total about 5000. 900
bales at Galveston.
Thus far this season Galveston has
received 40 per cent. of all cotton sent
to the ports of the United States, hav-
ing received within 3,742 bales as much
as the combined receipts of New Or
leans and Savannah, and today this diff
ference will be wiped out, leaving Gal
weston a margin over both places.

MEMORY OF LEE AND LINCOLN
Eulogized in an Address by Ion.
Champ Clark.

Plttsburg, Pain a speech tonight
at the merchants and manufacturers
dinner Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri
said:
"Callous must be the soul that can
find nothing to admire in the career of
Abraham Lincoln, the anniversary of
whose birth is celebrated this day by a
powerful people, Or in that of Robt. E.
Lee, whose centenary was recently cele-
brated with great eclat throughout the
broad confines of the republic, East as
well as West, North as well as South.
The Union and Confederate soldiers
were American heroes, all fighting val
orously for the cause they loved. AS
such | honor them. AS such teach
my children to cherish them.
Despite the lugubrious howl of pes
simists which constantly vexes the ears
of men, our country's course is forever
onward and upward. When [ look into
the faces of my children my heart swells
with pride ineffable to know that they
are citizens of this mighty republic,
one and indivisible, built not for day,
but for all time, and destined under
God to be the dominating influence
through all the centuries yet to be.
For surely it must be that if 3,00O,-
900 of the backwoodsmen in the twi-
light of civilization in this Western
world possessed the wisdom, the forti-
tude, the courage, the skill and the
to achieve freedom, we,
So 100000 of their descendants, the
flower of the human race, with con-
tinent for our home, and the resources
of continent to command and with the
experience of the blessings of our free
institutions for 13l years possess the
wisdom, the fortitude, the courage, the
skill and the self-a bnegatiOn to pre-
serve it for ourselves and cur posterity
forever"

CONFIDENCE IN THE MARKET
New York Not Bidding for Gold, the
Metal Being Needed on the
Other Side.

New York, Feb. 12.-The receipt of
the news from Washington that the
treasury department would pay $685.
OOO,OO0 Of the nearly-matured per
cents Of 1907 at 101h was the signal
for animated buying on the stock ex-
change. The first impression given
by the news was relief from the anx-
iety over the coming withdrawal Fri
day of this week of the remaining half
of the deposits of government funds
made with the banFs in December.
which would call for $6,O00,00O. The
heavy loss Of cash reported in Satur-
days bank statement is attributed
largely to the withdrawal of the first
half of these deposits, and the small
margin of the bank surplus makes the
threatened withdrawal of $4,000. 900
look more formidable The treas
ury's offer is u per cent higher than
was made in December for $4,000. 900.
u that time only about S3OOO,OOO of
the bonds was turned in.
New York Not Bidding for Gold.
New York secured none of the gold
arrivals in London Monday although
an advance in the price indicated some
degree of competition for the supply.
The impression is conveyed in bank
ing circles that this result was due to
a compliance on the part of New York
bankers with the sensitive conditions
In the London market rather than to
ability to have secured the gold. Good
effect on foreign sentiment towards
the American financial situation is ex-
pected to result from this compliant
mood Of the New York market to-
wards foreign necessities. >,

Gently.

broken, his face and body were torn
and lacerated and his back apparently
broken. Some of the flesh was torn

pointed sergeant of detectives in rec
ognition of tne active work as a de-
tective in aiding the police in run
