EXPOSITION IN TEXAS.
Will Celebrate HistorlcmI Eventm
 International Imnor1aure.

VIII Celebrate Historical Events of International Importance.
 San Antonio. Texas. May 23.-CSpe- cial )--At the opening session of the convention of the T. P. A of Texas, | in this city. John B. Darlington. the Secretary of the Business Mems Club made public in his address of welcome the proposal of the club to organize a great International exposition to eel ebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Presidio of San An I tonio. the Mission San Antonio de Va. lero. and the pueblo of Bexar. the three- fold settlement military, ecclesiastical | and civil. which was the beginning of the city of San Antonio.
 This was the first permanent settle | ment in Texas or the Southwest, and hence occupies a place in history ana lagous to that of Jamestown Island The fact that most of the famous mis- sion of San Antonio de Valero, which even at that early day was called the Alamo, is still standing. and the fur- ther fact that this structure is conse- crated by the blood of Texas heroes who died in It's defense in 1886, and the additional fact that the other mis- sions, the San Fernando Cathedral, and numerous other relics of that historic first settlement. still survive here, will give especial interest to this pecen-
 
 The exposition as planned will not be a local or State affair. but as 1t com. memorates a great national movement that ultimately extended the bounda- ries of the United States to the Pacific Coast and interposed those natural bar riers to foreign aggression which has helped to insure peace to the United States, 1t celebrates an event worthy of national commemoration.
 The plans contemplate the setting on foot a movement to secure aid from the nation and the State in financing of the undertaking. It Is contemplated also to bring all of Latin America into the celebration and bring to this coun- try the peoples of both Central and South America. Since about that time 1t Is expected that the Panama Canal will be completed. it is intended also to make this exposition a glorifcation. of that event as well as 8 celebration of the anniversary of the birth and origin of San Antonio. of Texas and the Southwest.
 This proposed celebration was en- siastically received by the conven- ton and by the press and citizens of San Antonio. The plans of the Busi- ness Mems Club will be matured fur ther and in due season a permanent committee on organization will be ef- fected and the project actively pushed to success.

Forakex's Friends Make Trouble in Lone star State.
 San Antonio, Tex. May 23-(special.l ] Faction of . most uncivil kind has split the Republican Party in Texas.
 The attitude of Foraker in regard to the. negro soldiers who shot up Brownsville has enabled the opposition to Cecil Lyon and Roosevelt Republi- cans to soiidify the negro voters against the regular Republicans who are led by Cecil Lyon and are for Roosevelt first and Taft second.
 These bolters who were led out of the Republican Convention at Fort Worth call themselves recognized Republicans, and are for Foraker for President. and 1t Is understood that after Foraker. they will support Fair banks.
 The regular Republicans have adopt ed an attitude hostile to Senator Bal ley and apparently. hope to take ad- vantage of this party quarrel to make a split in the Democratic Party in Texas. It Is also announced that there will be shortly started a Republican newspaper in Texas.
 Efforts are being made to recruit that party into something besides the joke that 1t has hitherto been.

BREWERS AROUSED
THEY TAKE HAND IN ENFORCING .s~ THE LAWS.
Resolve to Prosecute Vicious Saloon. keepcrs-sworn in as Probation OHlcers In Several
 Cities,

Milwaukee, Wis, May 2s.--(speciai.) In line with the new policy of the United State Brewers Association to elevate the standard of the saloon busi- ness, a plan recently adopted in Cincin- nati Is to receive some attention at the national con rention to be held here June to 10.
 In the Ohio metropolis several of the leading brewers have been sworn in as probation officers of the juvenile court of Cincinnati, and they are talk ing an active part in the prosecuting of ever case of liquor selling to minors that comes to the attention of the criminal court, If 1t be q worthy case they lend the court all the assistance in their power to prosecute the offend ing saloon-keeper and to. revoke the leases of those who have violated the law.
 As the brewers own a large percent age of the property in which saloons . are held in that city, their power in this direction is considerable.
 To show that they are in earnest in this new movement. the brewers re- gently drew up a circular setting forth both the regular State statutes regard ing the sale of liquor to minors and the provisions ia the juvenile court re- lating to the same subject. A copy of this circular was sent to every sa- loonloon-keeper in the city and county and notice served that the brewers proposed to see the law enforced to the very letter. They also employ secret agents to make Investigations of their own account, and if they find any sn- looms that are not running in accord ance with the law, they put them out of business. .s
 Similar work is also being done by the State organization known aa the Brewers Board of Trade. In. New Jer- sey similar plan has been adopted, and there is now some talk fin Milwau- kee of having some of the larger brew CTS serve as probation officers. The plan is also under consideration in New Orleans. where 1t is to be put into ef- feet fin the near future.

very modest apartment on Boulevard Maillot practically a hermit. She has never been seen in society. and has spent most of her time studying social problems with the result that she now according to her own words. believes that her expulsion from her Kingdom was an act of justice.
 When I interviewed the Queen few days ago she said T have come to believe that absolute rulers are an an- achronism and that every people has . right to govern itself. The only true form of government is the re- public where every man and woman has right to vote. The principles of Socialism are founded on justice and nearer perfection than those of any other party.
 My conversion to Socialism is no whim, it did not come to me suddenly but as result of careful study of the books of Karl Marx. Ferdinand La- sal1e, Tolstoy and Krapotkin. A young Italian Socialist whom I met accident- ally and who has become a very dear friend to me. did much to convince me of my errors. He Is the most unseifish man know and am going to follow his example and devote the years have left to doing good among the poor and downtrodden.
 '1 can now say that I am glad was driven away from Naples and that I no longer occupy a throne and that the people of my former country have at least some freedom. though far from enough. .''
 Having become Socialist, the Queen has wasted no time in carrying her ideas into practice. She no longer hides herself in her apartments. but has opened a shop in Rue St Koch, near the Tuilleries, where she sells womens and children's clothes and the proceeds she donates to Socialistic soci- cites. -a .-t
 You may see the Queen working in her shop six days every week, a little frail, delicate looking woman of ss. always dressed in the plainest of black gowns. She is beloved by the poor and no one ever applied to her in vain for advice and assistance.

 The shipment of canteloupes will not be so heavy by nearly half. but that too, is a big industry.

 Curious Murder Mystery.
 A curious murder mystery Is baffling the police of the Surete.

Come at once! Bring all the family papers. I am deadl I kiss you and the children. Love to Andrew and our friend the Leblanos.' Jules Ramband."
 Friday morning his body was found in his house. Head, legs. arms had been cut off There were twenty deep stab wounds in the breast.
 The old bankers cook was arrested.
 She said: T came in this morning and found him dead on the floor. He had cut his throat and was dead. was afraid the police would charge me with his murder, so cut the body up and hoped to dispose of the pieces, but I was discovered too soon"
 The police do not know what to make of it. The letter in which the banker stated, T am dead" was not a forgery: anyway the servant cannot write.

MEETINGS CLOSE TONIGHT.
Baptist Revival Campaign Has Been
Brief But Profitable.

The revival services at the First
Baptist church will close with this
evenings service. The campaign has
been brief but most profitable one.
The interest which was manifested at
the first has grown as the meetings
progressed, and the results have been
very gratifying to all.
Last night Evangelist Hoag adj
dressed himself to those who, thru sim
pie neglect, have failed to identify
themselves with the Christian relig-
ion. He dwelt upon the danger of fail
ing to use the talent for religion, and
cited several incidents to illustrate the
manner in which the religious instinct
is lost. He argued that a complete
life demands that man should func-
ton religiously, and urged those who
feel the impulse that comes from God
to make an earnest and loving response
to it.
1--WE must look for those reforms in
community which all good men and
women approve of, to men and women
who have experienced the transform
ing power Of Jesus Christ. In any city
where unrighteous influences are at
work corrupting the morals Of the boys
and girls, there is sure to be found a
lack of response to the Supreme Be-
ing On the other hand, where men
and women who pray and serve are
open and pronounced in the faith, the
moral life of the community is high
and its boys and girls safe"
It was one of the strongest appeals

Much of Seasons Fruit Crop
Was Destroyed By Hard

TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO "a
Tho Cherries, Early PIums and Some
Varieties Of Early Apples Totally
Destroyed by Gold Wave-lce a
Quarter of an Inch Thick Frozen in
Some Places.

AS result of the extreme cold wave,
which developed killing frost We'd
nesday, 1t is estimated that much OF
the prospective fruit crop OF the sum-
mer has been destroyed. 1t Is believed
that the earlier varieties Of fruits will
prove a total loss. altho the exact
amount of the damage done can not be
determined until the sun shows up the
full effect Of the freeze.
The buds of the early cherries.
plums and some OF the earlier varieties
of apples, were badly frozen. and it is
probable that these kinds of fruits will
not yield a crop at all. The freeze
was general all over the county. no
sections escaping.
The temperature during the night
dropped to the lowest point since April
2. the minimum being "a above zero.
and degrees below freezing point At
o'clock this morning the tempera-
ture was still below freezing, the gov
eminent thermometer showing 81. The
maximum Wednesday was only As.
Some Fruit Escaped.
Some OF the fruit, including the later
varieties Of cherries, plums and ap-
pies, which had not yet developed fruit
buds, were not injured. But the late
varieties OF cherries form compare
lively small part Of the annual crop.
Most of the strawberries have not yet
come into blossom, and they were not
damaged.
The earlier varieties Of garden vege-
tables that were left unprotected had
their foliage frozen, but the earlier
varieties are hardy, and while there
will be some damage the loss will not
