Rice GROWING In Texas.

The Japanese are the most thrifty
rice growers in Texas. There are
several colonies Of these planters in
the gulf coast segion of the State.
One of the largest is at Webster.
Another colony is at Deepwater, about
six miles from Webster. These Jap
anese give much more attention to
the crop than the average American
planter and as result they obtain
twice the yield. Many Of the Japan.
csc rice planters in the gulf coast
region obtained from twenty to TWEEN
ty-hve barrels of rice an acre this
season. The quality is better than
the ordinary run of rice and top prices

FIRST DOUBLE EAGLE.

Has Just Reappeared.
A Philadelphia coin collector has
just come into possession OF the first
double eagle struck from the dies
engraved by James B. Longacre at
the Philadelphia Mint in 1S49.
The recently discovered coin is
composed of silver and at one time
was in the collection of Mr.. Long

struck is indicated by the fact that
It bears no date, although both OBJ

Owing to the curious circumstances
that resulted In only one piece being
struck in gold from the 1S49 dies
the first gold double eagle of Long
acre now is regarded as the rarest
and most interesting OF all the Amer
lean gold coins.
Another specimen, in copper, was
made from the 1S49 dies. These three
coins represent the only known speci-
mems that were made from the first
dies.

episcopal duties almost Immediately.
He said yesterday upon his arrival
that he was here TO await the instruc
ton of the archbishop. He comes as
an auxiliary bishop, not a coadjutor.
He has not the right of succession to
the dignity of the present archbishop
in case of his death or retirement. An
auxiliary is generally appointed at the
request of the head of the diocese, and
so a priest said yesterday 1t is to be
presumed that Bishop O'Connell is
Archbishop Riordan's personal choice
for an assistant or auxiliary bishop.
Rome acquiescing in the choice and
making the appointment.
MAY BECOME COADJUTOR
Many clergymen have expressed the
hope and the belief that Bishop O'Con-
nell will one day become coadjutor to
Archbishop Riordan, even as Arch
bishop Montgomery was. In case of
this elevation the usual procedure, that
of calling together the permanent rec
tors and the council TO the diocese to
vote on the candidate, will be fol-
lowed The minutes Of this quasi sem
ate are sent to the holy see and TO
each of the bishops sof the province.
The bishops of the provinces then meet
and vote for the candidates. II they
reject the men proposed by the priests
they must send their reasons to Rome
against them.
This procedure would be followed
were Bishop O'ConneiFs name, with
two others, proposed for coadjutor-
ship, after Archbishop Riordan had
signified 10 Rome that he desired a
coadjutor.
Archbishop Riordan has issued an In
yitation to all the clergy TO meet the
new hjshoD Friday afternoon. The
clergy from the inland towns and the
colleges are expected to be present
and congratulate the prelate and wish
him many blessings.
Bishop O'Connell will reside tempo
rarily at the residence of the arch
bishop. Later he will occupy the Of
