TO FINISH CONCRETING
ENGINE HOUSE FLOOR.
Large Door May Also Be Cut in Rear
Of Building.

City Engineer Stallings is arranging
to complete the concreting of the floor
of the engine house. This will be an
improvement that the fire department
will appreciate. The front part of the
quarters was concerted some time ago,
bue the rear has been left with a
wooden flooring.
The city engineer also has another
improvement in view that will prob
ably be made and that will add con-
siderably- to the handling of the APP
paratus. This is the cutting of a
large door in the rear of the quarters
so that the apparatus can be driven
in from the rear instead of being
backed in from the front. This will
probably be ordered done by Council

PECAN TREES ARE
COMING INTO BEARING.
Each Year win Find Mr.. Smithwick's
Crop Getting Larger.

The pecan trees out on the Smith
wick place are beginning to bear year
after year, and give promise of devel-
oping into magnificent producers of
that succulent and profitable nut in
the course of the next few years.
Yesterday from a three-year-old
tree Mr.. Smithwick took crop of one
nut, the harbinger of the many bushels
that the coming seasons will bring
forth. This nut was oven an inch in
length, beautifully rounded and a fine
specimen of what may be expected
when the tree has grown older and its
crop has reached marketable proper
tons
On four-year-o tree last year
there were four nuts. This year the
same tree turned out five pounds.
Next season it may give a couple OF
pecks.
There is no limit to the age at which
a tree will produce and the quantity
that may be derived from tree is
said to be astonishingly large after
the ninth or tenth year. At the tenth
year they are profit producing to q
fine degree.
Mr.. Smithwick is highly interested
in nut culture His grating of the
pecan on the hickory has attracted
much attention and the fact that these
grated trees are doing finely is likely
to draw considerable attention to then
hereafter from other nut growers.

WOMEN ARE ENTITLED
TO FULL RIGHTS
Should Speak and Vote as
Well as Work.
Rev. Anthony Syrnpa-
thizes With Women i'm
Their Appeal,

Yes, favor the women having all
the privileges of the men when they
are doing the same work that the men
do-and more of it."
That was the reply of Rev. Bascom
Anthony, of the Americas Methodist
church, when asked yesterday for his
views on the memorial of the Women's
Board of Home Missions, to the next
general conference of the church, re-
questing that women be admitted to
the privileges of all of the church
gatherings, with the same franchise
rights conferred now upon the male
members of the church.

Would Not Weaken Church

When | was presiding elder in a
certain district" continued Dr. Antho-
NY in a reminiscential vein,' | found
several churches where there wasn't a
man qualified to act as superintendent
Iof the Sunday School and I got wo-
men to act in that capacity. Now if
these women were able to fill this
position, and did fill it satisfactorily
and with good results, pray why
should they not be eligible to seats in
the quarterly conference and to a
voice and vote in its affairs, and
likewise to the district and other con-
fefences? ] have never been able to
furnish a plausible reason myself as
to why they should be denied these
rights, if they want them. [ believe
the women selected for such honors

men even more than now, and if it
shamed the men perhaps a little
shaming would do them good If the
women are carrying on so great a
portion of the church work to-day it
is no credit to the men that it is so.
And it comes with poor grace, as /
view it, for the men to lie back, let
the women do the work, and then tell
them to go away off in a corner. sit
down, and keep quiet when the affairs
OF the church are to be discussed and
acted upon in it's various conferences.
Let them talk and vote as well as
work. That is where | stand.n

Justice All They Ask For.

Il am not in the slightest degree an
tagonistic to the request that the wo-
men have made" continued Mr.. An
thony 1T is but justice that they ask
for. | have seen the trend in church
affairs for many years and have rec
ognized that by the evolutionary pro-
cess, under which women are taking a
more and more active and influential
part in all church work, full rights
must eventually be conferred upon
them, covering the same privileges
that the men now enjoy. 1 seen moth
ing improper in it, and | regard it as
nothing but a matter of concrete JUS
tice that they should enjoy the privil-
eyes if they are to do the work.
THE part women play in our church
work, of all classes, is more and more
important every year" continued Dr.
Anthony. 1T is a recognized fact
that they frequently make up the
greater part of congregation. In the
Sunday School they form the great
body of teachers. In the various mis-
sionary societies they are the main
stay. They are a vast and growing
power in providing the finances for the
operation of the various departments
of church activity. They are Jealous,
consecrated, progressive. Why, then,
doing all this, should they be denied
voice and a vote in all our gather
ings?"
You favor, then, the women having
| representation in the various confer
ences?" was asked DR.. Anthony.
Should Be Admitted to Conferences
Il certainly do was his reply Il
believe it is but just that they should
be admitted to the quarterly confer
ence, to the district conference, to the
annual conference and to the general
conference. Through their work they
are well acquainted with what the
churches are doing, They could fire.

beyond all this, coming down to the
! actual basis of their request, they
should not be asked to do the work if
] they are not to be allowed the
privileges. Our forefathers' claim
was No representation, no taxation
Our women have not said, and l do
not believe they ever would say, mo

too Jealous in their religious work to

REYES NO LONGER IS CANDIDATE
DIAZ HAS BLOCKED HIS WAY TO
VICE PRESIDENCY.
Will Resign From State Legislature
and Retire From Contest
for National Honor.

GALVESTON, Tex, September 1s.-Ad-
vices from Monterey say that Gen. Ber-
nado Reyes. governor of the state Of
Nevo Leon will present his resignation to
the legislature Of the state and that he
will also retire from the candidacy for tho
vice presidency of Mexico.
The governor is an extremely popular
man in northern Mexico, and would be u
strong candidate against the administra-
ton aspirant, but he realized early In the
campaign that the Diaz administration
had cleverly blocked the political move
ment.
Feeling that his presence in Monterey.
the northern metropolis. would bring
about revolution and bloodshed. and not
wishing to offend the army of friends who
were announcing him as a vice presiden-
tial candidate by declining to run. Gen.
Reyes sought refuge at his country es-
tate at Galenna. The report says the
floods came and devastated portions Of
Neuva Leon. and Gen. Reyes was cut of
and could not reach Monterey.
President Diaz dispatched Gen. Frevino.
Commissioner Lorenzo and other higher
officials to assume charge Of the state Of
Leon. to distribute food and funds and de-
wise relief measures. This move by the
administration was made to reflect upon
Gov. Reyes. and he will retire.
