RAILROAD NEWS.
Agents Not Required to Notify Patrons
on Receipt Of Freight.

on Receipt Of Freight.
The Texas Demurrage and Storage
company advises agents that since
the railroad commission of Texas
made no provision for notification of
receipt of less than car shipments,
Article 1920 of the revised statutes
will govern. The only notification
provided by this article is that the
railroad agent shall post a notice on
the door of the depot or freight house
To the effect that shipment
for B has been received If, after
" hours the shipment is not re-
moved, then the railway company
must charge storage for same. or. the
railway company may have shipment
removed TO some warehouse where the
goods will become liable for their own
storage charges.
Ii has been the custom heretofore
for the agents to notify by postal card
the receipt of a shipment of goods,
II may be that the railway companies
figure they are spending too large a
sum on postage when there is no
necessity under the law for their do

Pasture Fire.

The Alexander pasture, east of the
A. and VI. College burned last night.
The reflection of the fire on the clouds
was plainly seen in this city Phone
inquiry gave the information that the
fire had been in progress since early
afternoon. The fire is considerable
distance from the college, over on the
Rock Prairie road, but some of the
cadets had volunteered to assist in
fighting the flames, and were striving
with others to subdue the FIRE, which
it was reported had done considerable
damage.

AN INTERESTING SALE.
"Skidoo %"


Mr. Eugene Edge is about to launch
another big skidoo sale. The success
attained last year by this mercha
prince in the skidoo sale was simr
marvellous, as several times during
the sale he was compelled to close
doors of his popular store, so that all
could get waited upon. This years
skidoo sale promises to eclipse any
previous sale held in this city as all
preparations have been made TO meet
the demands of the crowds.
Every detail is worked out so as TO
give every customer a chance at the
skidoo sale.
This year Mr.. Edge has used very
clever idea of advance advertising his
big skidoo sale. With a lucky pur-
chase of L. S. army rifles he has
used them to the very best advantage
lin advertising his approaching sale
His war bulletins have been read and
re-read all over the county and caused
no end of merriment While these
bulletins were amusing they gave in
formation as to the preparations of
the big skidoo sale This idea was
entirely original and certainly a very
clever one, which always marks the
progress of this very popular and
fashionable store, Eugene Edge on the
corner.

The Biggest Mining Suit.

An Arizona mining company has the distinction of being the bene- ficiary of the largest executions ever issued by the supreme court of Mas sachusetts. On Saturday last, two executions. totaling $2,1S2,S29, were issued against Albert :. Bigelow of Boston, and the estate of Leonard Lewissohn of New York. in favor. of the old Dominion Copper. company of Globe
 The executions are the result of the judgment recently rendered against the two defendants in favor of the copper company. The suit, as here tofore explained by the Associated Press. grew out of alleged secret profits obtained by Bigelow and Lewissohn at the time of the organ ization of the company.
 Eastern men alone were parties to the transaction, but the case will doubtless be cited by the eastern press as another horrible example of Arizona mining finance.

Wainwright Not Horseman.

Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright declines to be horse marine. He sees no reason why he should submit to a riding and walking test, and bluntly says he won't He modestly refers to his record in the navy, and says:
 If that is not good enough. the government may release me. The navy is composed Of over 900 officers and up to date a third of them have yet to do the stunt, while some of them will no doubt stick to the dis obedient attitude, owing to their avoirdupois and physical condition"
 Admiral Wainwrights countrymen have not forgotten his record, and they will look with considerable len iency upon his "disobedient attitude" They have not forgotten that it was Dick Wainwright, in the flimsy tor pcdo boat Gloucester" that pitched into Cervera's battleships at the bat tie of Santiago. just as if he had the deck of a battleship under his feet, and regardless of the more or less ludicrous aspect he cut in standing up to the fight with his little boat II was Wainwright, indeed, who was the most heroic figure in that battle He comes of good fighting stock. He is a son of the Richard Wainwright who died at New Orleans in 1862 while commanding Farraguts flag ship, the "Hartford." and the young man was executive officer of the Maine" when she was blown up in Havana harbor. Since the Spanish was he has won additional credit as superintendent of the United States naval academy, and in commanding ships of the line
 There was a very practical reason for President Roosevelt's order to all army officers to submit to d walking and riding test for army officers must be able to do hard stunts at both walking and riding. But from the lay standpoint it is not easy to understand why an officer of the navy may not be the most capable commander and yet unable to walk many miles at time. Of course,

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

Many others besides Mir Henry James haves remarked upon the ab- surd position held in American so- ciety by young women. The ruinous indulgence of children ought at least to be confined to the home circle and not be carried into world where age. intelligence and experience should have precedence and should form the standards. The reversal of values, SO as to make the debutante the point of interest in social season instead of the accomplished matror, is as though society should have foresworn it's functions. This would be true even were the manners of the debu- tante all that they should be in def- erence, suavity and tact The expe- rience of Washington. where society is fairly representative goes to show that much is still to be desired in these respects. in the general educa- ton of American girls-December Century Magazine.

Uncertain as to What May be Done to
 the Trusts and the Tariff.

New York, Nov. 29.-The struggl, against the forces of reaction was per ceptible in stock market speculation to. day, which was overshadowed, how ever. by the lowering prospect of the approaching session Of congress and fears of the legislative program as to the trust problem. Suggestions of d reopening Of the tariff revision ques- tion also had an effect. In the light of the Standard oil decision. further procedure in the direction of combina- tions is made a matter Of grave con sideration.

AN OLD STORY coNTRADIcTED.

The story of Pope Callixtus III. and Halleys comet of 1456 is an oft-told one. Few accounts, indeed, of this fa- nous comet appear without it, and it is chronicled in the works of the greater number of modern astrono- mers. It is related that this pope is- sued bull against the comet, and or dered the angelus to be rung to fright en it away. One of the few astrono- mers to pronounce the bull d myth was the late Professor simon New comb. And now writer in the Scien- tific American points out that careful historical investigation shows that there is no foundation for the story and that the pope did no such foolish thing. A careful search through the "Bullarum Romanarum," which con- tains all the papal bulls. shows that CalliXtus III issued no such docu- ment against the comet
 The story has been traced to Pla- tina, an author Of the fifteenth cen tury, who wrote Lives of the Popes" According to Platina's account, Cal lixtus issued no bull against the com ct But the mathematicians-t men of science of the day-having declared that some great calamity would follow the appearance of the comet, the pope ordered that if evils were impending for the human race, applications should be offered that God would avert them. He ordered the bells to be rung-not to frighten the comet, but to remind the faithful of the duty of prayer. Even this rests ,on the solo authority of Platina-London Globe.

The Curse of Militarism.

Developments this week in the British parliament and in the Ger man reichstag will make it clear to the people of both the United King dom and the German empire that each country is facing a distressing situation on. account of war taxes
 The bitter controversy between the house of commons and the house of lords is not over the question of in creasing the taxes, but over the pro- posed distribution of the new taxes the lords insisting that the liberal government has gone to an unbear- able extreme in taxing the rich" The lords will vote on the budget within a day or two. and that they will reject it and that the govern ment will thereupon dissolve parlia- ment and appeal to the country in new election. is taken for granted.
 The reiehstag meets today. and the grave problem of increasing the rev enue confronts the government. Chancellor von Buelow, before he re- tired from office last summer. ap- parently had resorted to every prac- ticable method of imposing new taxes. and he has left to his successor the unwelcome legacy of facing the ne- cessity of raising still more money. The German national debt has reached the enormous sum of bil- lion and a quarter. and the revenue laws enacted only last year have all ready proved inadequate. That there is a growing unwillingness to submit to further taxation is evident from the results of the several by-elections of the past few weeks, in which the socialists have been almost uniformly successful in electing their candidates to the reichstag
 Meanwhile, both the German and the British governments are running a neck-and-neck race in laying out added expenditures for military pur- poses.
 The burden is growing to be so great in both countries that some British statesmen are bitterly saying that it would be better for the two countries to go to war at once, rather than to proceed with endless prepara- tions which are bound to end in bankruptcy, anyhow

Lawyers of public spirit in many states are giving attention to the problem of lessening the laws de- lays. Some practical suggestions in this line have been made by a com mittee of the New York bar associa- tion, which recommends such changes in the civil and criminal procedure of that state as will expedite results in certain cases. at least. The com- mittee suggests that when two or more defendants are jointly indicted for felony, the court should have dis cretion to order joint or separate trials It recommends the abolition of. exceptions to rulings in the ex- animation of jurors. In a civil trial before d jury the court should direct a verdict, according to the commit tee, when the evidence is so strongly in favor of one side that a verdict contrary to it would be set aside

there was an additional reason for the presidential order as to the army, and that was the necessity of devis- ing a method of getting rid of elderly officers whose usefulness in war would not be equal to that of younger officers, but who could not be re- tired for age. The navy also is top heavy with elderly officers. and pos sibly the physical tests to which Ad- miral Wainwright objects were for mulated for the purpose of making places for younger men.
 In any event. the navy department will please the country by waiving the test so far as it applies to Vain wright.
