Meeting IN #. WORTH.
Texas Commercial Secretaries Gather
In the Panther City For Con-
ference This Week.

Special to the Herald.
Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 9.-The
men who lay awake nights devising
plans to "boost" the greatest South
west were all in Fort Worth today.
The occasion was the opening of the
big convention of the Texas CONNER
cial Secretaries. Oklahoma and LOU
isiana have sent representatives to
the gathering, as well as all the lead
ing cities of the Lone Star state. The
character of the gathering and the
large and representative attendance
are well calculated to give fresh inn
petus to the work of development of
the magnificent resources of this Sec
ton of the country
The initial session this morning
was given over to reports of officers,
appointment of committees and other
routine work. The regular program of
papers and discussions was taken up
this afternoon and will be continued
through the next two days. The top
les to receive attention cover a wide
range. First and foremost on the
agenda will be the organization of
commercial clubs and the conduct of
their work so as to achieve the best
results. The duties of the CONNER
cial club secretary will be discussed
from all points of view. Of wider in
terest will be the discussion on immi-
grafton, railroad construction, adver-
Using and other subjects having to
do with the general development Of
the country.

This Is An Advertisement

but it is a fact. Palestine, like all
other towns and communities, has
plenty of business chances for money
making. The average man who has
carefully saved up his money until he
has accumulated a few hundred dol
lars, is in a position to invest, but
usually he is so busy at his work each
day that he does not take the time to-
look up investments which will make
his earnings help him earn. Such a
man often reads in the local paper
transfers of property where he knows
the investment is safe and profitable.
This opportunity is gone. The read
er was busy at his own work. After
work hours he was too tired to go
out and look up bargain. The trade
was made before he knew it. That
man needs friend in the Real Estate
business who can help him at the
right time. Since l have been in the
Real Estate business I have handled
many trades for my patrons and .us-
toners, involving many thousands OF
dollars, and l have made money fol
the people who have entrusted Their
business to me. l wish to say that
there are fine oppor .dnities right in
this town and county for investments,

Illinois and Missouri were present to-
day at the opening in this city of the
annual convention of the Tri-State
Medical Society. At the special invi-
tation of the society several eminent
medical men are here from Chicago,
st. Louis and other cities to address
the meeting. The sessions will con-
tinue two days. A comparison of
medical and legal insanity, the cura-
tive treatment of pulmonary tubercu-
losis, and the prevalence, causes and
possible repression of the social evil
are the chief topics to be discussed.

the lay element. The leading Catho-
lies among the English nobility were
present, among them the Duke of
Norfolk, the premier duke of Eng
land; the Marquis of Ripon, leader
in the movement to have England re-
turn to the unity of the Catholic
faith; the Earl of Abingdon, the Earl
of Denbigh, Lord Herrie and Lord
Howard of Glossop.
The general sessions of the con-
gress are to begin in Albert hall to-
morrow. There also will be daily con-
ferences in Horticultural hall and
other auditoriums. There will be ses-
sions for both clergy and lay dele
gates The papers and discussions
will, for the most part, be doctrinal.
and the central theme will be-as the
name of the congress signifies
Holy Eucharist considered as sacra-
ment, and as a sacrifice in the cele-
bration of the mass.
The American colony in London is
much interested in the announcement
that Cardinal Gibbons is to celebrate
mass in the cathedral next Sunday.
The popularity of the Baltimore pre-
late is expected to have much influ-
ence in gaining for the United States
the next meeting of the Eucharist
Congress. Though the body has been
in existence now nearly a score of
years it has never met in America.
Of the previous eighteen congresses,
nine were held in France, five in Bel
GUM, one in Jerusalem, one in Rome
and the last one in Metz. The pro-
posal to meet in America next year
seems to be regarded with favor by
many of the prominent delegates here.

THE REALM OF BOOKS AND AUTHORS

Mr.. Howells has added "And Others"
to the title of his new volume Of essays,
Roman Holidays. The manifold i'm
rressons and warmth OF mood in the
new book are said to reflect the au-
thors previous essays, Venetian Life"
and italian Journeys" with spirit
even more ardent. 1t is to be remem-
bered that in the eyes of many of Mr.
Howells' readers he is at his best in
the essays, and therefore, one Of the
very few writer's of the present day
whose achievements in fiction do not
obscure all other forms in prose.
In The Weird of Sir Lancelot," in
the current North American Review,
Mary Child explains that the true
source of resentment against Tenny-
sons eXaltion of the marriage tie
against the instincts of love in his
"ldNls' is to be found less in the fact
that Tennyson's own marriage was
such an ideal union that he follows
Mallory in the perVerson of the old
story. The writer gives perhaps the
oldest version eNtant, '"rhe High His
tory of the Holy Grail" which pre-
sents in Guinevele an ideal wife and in
LancelOt a chivarous knight loyal to
his King in every way OF his
love for the Queen he says:
1T seemeth to me the fairesl
sin and the sweetest that ever I
committed. !" The affection see
meth me so good ana so high that
cannot let go thereof, for SO roo,cd is
il in my heart that thence may it never
more depart, and the best knighthood
that is i'll me cometh to me only ol
her affection.

Soon after the opening Of the after

began to rise and the audience was
Mortified to see the food creeping un-

tapping the ring embankment The
water rose inch by inch. The per
formance went on, the artists wading
through the water to the ring.
The audience was thrown into a
panic and the show was suspended,
the employees devoting their attention
to removing the women and children
to high ground Carts, horses and
boats were called into use for the
women and children, but the men
were compelled to wade.
