Some of the most perfect pearls

a clamshell, in which was perfect
white pearl, said to be worth nearly
500. Hundreds of people take their

live along the Coon searching for
pearls, and this year they have been
more than ordinarily successful, and
not few have sent excellent gems to

1t was a game that had many in
teresting features when Dallas Elks
took from their brothers from Waxa
hachie the victory at CASTOR Park
yesterday afternoon. 1t was a score
of 6 to that told the tale. Runs in
the first, third and fifth innings
made a lead the visitors could not
overcome. They held the locals well
after that time and themselves made
in the sixth inning their two runs
The visitors were first at bat Two
struck out and the third was mana
ged by the pitcher and first base
man. Stanage for Dallas got hit.
On an overthrow from Sims to first
he made second, and on a similar
overthrow from right to third he
scored
Neither side scored in the second.
In the third Stanage hit safe to right
field. Erwin was safe on a fielder's
choice, Stanage going out at second.
Successive hits by McJunkin, Win
frey and Gillespie scored Erwin. Nc
Junkin and Winfrey.
The fourth was fruitless. In the
fifth McJunkin placed a Texas leag-
uer over second, Winfrey hit over
pitcher, Gillespie sacrificed and Gray
hit over center what looked like a
home run, scoring McJunkin and
Winfrey, both of whom had stolen
bases.
Only in the sixth did the visitors
score. 1t began with Whites hit and
hit by Hosford. White stole second
and a hit by Burks filled the bases.
Ray and Ferris popped up to center
and pitcher, respectively. Then it
was that Burleson got base on balls
and White walked in. With the bases
full, wild pitch let Hosford in, the

RAILROAD TIES IN HONDURAS.
Product From United States Finds
Favor in South America.


A railroad in Honduras which has
just been opened to traffic as far as
Cebia, 35 miles, was built with creo-
soted pine ties from the United
States
The increased value of wood thus
preserved is now well recognized by
railroad men. The life of a railroad
tie may be greatly heightened and
sometimes more than doubled by
preservative treatment. In a humid
climate like that of Honduras, pine
tie in its natural state would be
quickly destroyed by fungus.
Large railroads of the United
States treat with preservatives many,
or all, of the new ties put in. One
road is said to treat 10000 a day.
The increasing difficulty of procur-
Ing new ties, with the advancing
them last as long as possible 1t has
been estimated that the railroads of
the United States demand in a single
year the ties growing on a forest
strip one mile wide and three thous-
and miles long
1t is worthy of note that while
creosoted pine ties are being ship
ped from the United States to Hon
duras, hardwoods are coming to the
United States from that country.
Americans are doing the shipping
both ways A tract of 5000 acres in
Honduras has been secured by an
American company which will cut
the mahogany and other valuable
hardwoods and ship them to the
United States.

A MODERN EVIL.


A recent public utterance of Gov
ernor John A. Johnson of Minnesota,
that "a modern evil is the mistake
made by public officials that they
are elected to enforce public senti-
ment and not law is the express
sion of truth that finds abundant
law enforcement in many parts of
the country. That such a condition
should exist is the regret of every
one who, with Thomas jefferson,
holds to the theory that man can
safely be trusted with the govern
ment of himself says the Houston
Post.
Back of the condition complained
of lies the cause, which, stated in it's
briefest possible form, is a lax re-
gard for organic law on the part of
legislative bodies intent on the mat
ter of multiplying statutes to correct
imagined evils, or to alter conditions
that would right themselves in the
natural course of events. In other
words, to use the language of an
able thinker and eminent political
writer, such bodies are prone to
deal with things that are obvious
and passing, and, therefore, to treat
symptoms rather than causes
favor of their constituencies, legisla-
tors are prone to look on all con-
ditions locally Objectionable as cur
able by legislation, and durable
quickly, hence, either on account of
imperfect knowledge of the organic
law of the land or because of lax
regard for the same, in their zeal
to attain the ends so much desired,
they are careless about the means
and often forgetful, or
obvious, of the evil results that must
in time inevitably follow hasty and
i'll advised legislation
The results of this tendency to
multiply statutes is quickly found
in confusion OF the public mind,
and ultimately in a growing con-
tempt for all law because of the
needlessly vexatious characters of
some of the statutes in question, for
which there possibly was only local
demand, and the imperative charac-
Of fNfh ,tnt ~, -,
ture only. Chosen directly by the
people, public officials, influenced
by like sentiments to those which
animate those whose interests they
are expected to serve, naturally drift
into the habit of being diligent in
the things deemed most important
to the welfare of the whole com
munity and lax in their efforts at
enforcement of laws of minor i'm
portance as viewed from the stand
point of those to whom they owe
their official position. That such
should be the case is regretted by
all upholders of the majesty OF the
law in its completeness.
The remedy is plain, and as St.
Paul observes, The word is nigh
thee, even in they mouth, and in
thy heart that is, give us fewer
laws and better laws Thus will the
majesty of all law and the officials
chosen by them will diligently en-
force every act written upon the
statute book

The Senate last night held the first
night session il has had at this session
of Congress, and devoted most OF il TO
the consideration Of an omnibus bill deal

tories.
Senator Beveridge reported the bill from
his Committee on Territories. and Gov.
Hoggatt. Of Alaska. came on the floor OF
the Senate and took a seat near the Sena-
tor from Indiana. to prompt him.
In the afternoon Mr.. Beveridge left the
Senate with the impression that his bin
was TO be passed. He had passed around
among Senators, pouring oil on the
troubled waters, and thought the measure
would go through as a matter OF course.
Then he went for drive. When he came
10 the night session and learned that his
bill had come up. and after being hazed
for a time. had been laid over on an OBJ
lection. he was not at all pleased. and
voiced his displeasure In a manner that
called out one Of Senator Hales speeches
OF chastisement
That over, the bill was again taken up
for consideration. The Senate was look
ing for something to have fun with,
and II found great possibilities for humor
in Mr.. Beveridge's bill. judging by the
laughter that attended its consideration.
The Senator was kept busy until 1890
answering questions about the BILL and
then an amendment was offered. to which
there was opposition. and Senator Aldrich
moved an adjournment 10 avoid a long
debate. The bill went over until Monday.
