done. And we hope that the ministers
of the city will join with us in this
matter in the proper manner, as it
may appear to them.
We find that the Sunday laws are
openly violated by some of the mer-
chants of this county every Sunday
We understand that the merchants
were notified by the district attorney
to close their places of business and
to observe this law some time ago, and
that the local peace officers were no
titled and instructed that this law
must be enforced. For a short time
following these instructions the law
was enforced in this city, and then
openly violated again, and that there
has not been a single arrest made for
a violation of this law, although the
peace officers knew this law was be-
ing violated. We believe the local
peace officers should have carried out
the instructions to enforce this law.
and we hereby notify all the local
peace officers that they are expected
and it is their duty, to enforce this
Sunday law, and to arrest all persons
who shall violate the law in the future,
and in case the officers or any of
them shall fail to carry out these in
structions, we respectfully refer the
matter to the next grand jury, that
the officers may be forced to perform
their sworn duty We have the prom
Use of the local peace officers that in
the future this law will be diligently
enforced, and relying upon this prom
Use, we have returned no bills of in
dictment against the merchants who
have violated this law, as it seems
to have become a custom in this city.
Our thanks are due the court, and
other officers for courtesies extended
us. We have had the district and
county attorneys with us, and extend
to them our thanks for their assist
ance.
Having finished our duties, we re-
quest that we be discharged.

FoRTY-TWo TRUE BILLS RETURN.
ED-oWNERs OF BOWLING AL
LEYs INDIcTED-sUNDAY LAW
MUST BE OBSERVED.

State of Texas, County of Anderson.
In the District Court of Anderson
county, May Term, A. D. 1910.
To the Hon. B. H. Gardner, District
Judge of said county:
We, the grand jury empaneled,
charged and sworn, to inquire into and
true presentment make of all offenses
against the penal laws of this state
committed within the county of An
derson, respectfully report that We
have been in session ten days and
have had large number of witnesses
before us from every part of the coun-
ty, and have returned 16 (sixteen)
true bills of Indictment of the grade
of felony, and 26 (twenty-siX) bills of
Indictment for misdemeanors.
We have examined the jail and
court house and find them in good san
itary condition.
We are pleased to report that we
have not learned of a single case of
homicide in this county since the
meeting of the last grand jury, which
speaks well for our county.
We find that there has been estab-
1ished in the city of Palestine several
bowling alleys, or box ball alleys,
where men and boys congregate for
the purpose-of gaming. We believe
these alleys are conducted openly in
violation of the penal laws of the
state. and from our investigation we
have returned several true bills of
Indictment against the persons con-
Quoting these alleys, and hope and
trust that the prosecution of these
cases win result in abating these evils.
In this connection we are informed
that there is bowling alley establish
ed in the building owned and occupied
by the Young Mems Christian ,Associ-
alton. The officers of this association
claim this alley is conducted under
their supervision, and that betting or
gaming Of any kind is not permitted
upon the alley We believe the off |

| think shell is excellent material
to use for street paving in resident
sections where the traffic is not too
heavy, but it is not at all suitable
where the traffic is heavy, for the
reason that it pulveriZes and becomes
dusty. This may be overcome to some
extent by occasional sprinkling with
oil, but l do not think it is suitable
in any case for heavy traffic.
Will be glad to furnish any further
information if you desire.
Very truly yours,
H. Booth.
There are 1900 square yards in a
mile of street 80 feet wide According
10 Mr.. Booths letter shell can BE had
on the cars at Houston at say 60 cents
per cubic yard and the freight to Pal
estine will be say 95 cents per cubic
yard or a total of $l55 per cubic
yard. delivered on cars at Palestine.
\ cubic yard of shell will cover four
square yards of street nine inches
leep from which it will be seen that
shell for mile of 80 foot street, Q
inches deep, can be had for about
$500. Our street supervisors esti-
mate that nine inches of dirt can be
moved and replaced with shell at Is
to 20 cents per square yard. At the
latter figure a mile of 80 foot street
would be $3.50, making the total cost
$l0,340 which would be very cheap for
a mile of good road that would prove
satisfactory. The above, of course.
does not cover cost of necessary grad
ing and guttering. One serious ques
ton is, where would the shell on a
good steep hill be the next morning
after a right hard rain The dust
nuisance raised by Mr.. Booth is a
very serious one.
When it comes to paving residence
streets | take it most of our citizens
would say let the property owners on
the street to be paved pay for it, the
city paying for street intersections,

| To the Herald
At the request of some of our citi,
zens who frequently visit Houston
and ride over their shell streets and
roads, of which they speak very ia
vorably, | took the matter ur with
Mr. Horace Booth, assistant general
freight agent of the International and
Great Northern railroad, and beg to
call attention to his reply, as follows:
Houston, Texas, May 4th, 1910
Mr.. G. H Turner,
Palestine, Texas.
My Dear Mr.. Turner:-Referring to
your letter 9th ult in regard to shell
paving. | enclose herewith a copy of
specifications, ETC., used by Harris
county. They have just let contract
for seventeen miles of this kind of
road parallel with the G., H. & H. be-
tween Houston and Galveston at
SCI, 10000, which is about $500 per
mile, which includes the shell, exca-
walton, drainage, etc. This is for a
roadway fourteen feet wide and COW
cred with eight inches of she'll You
can estimate from this the cost of a
street using the width you wish to
make it.
The city is not doing their shell
paving by contract, but are doing the
work themselves, and advise me that
the cost is about as follows:
16 feet wide, $4,5OOOO per mile.
IS feet wide, $4,000 per mile.
20 feet wide, s6,0OOOO per mile.
They use to 4 inch shell and 1OI
inch on the crown. These figures do
not include the cost of curbing, which
is furnished voluntarily by owners of
abutting property
The county does not use curbing,
but you will note from specifications
that they use dirt shoulder.

The New Jerusalem

The first memorial which strikes the
eyes of a traveller when he arrives at
Jerusalem, says French visitor who
has recently returned to Paris, is the
new church Of the Germans. on Mount
zion 1t is built on land given by
Abdul Hamid to the German emperor.
Its architecture and vast proportions
are admired by all who see the build
ing.
The church will be served by German
benedictines. and it is to be conse-
Grated next year, it is said, in the
presence of Prince Eitel, representing
the kaiser Afterward the prince will
take part in the opening of the sana
torium, also German, which is near by.
At the other extremity OF the town
near the Damascus gate. German build
ings are increasing. The hospice and
hostelry are finished. An orphanage,
with chapel, are in contemplation. This
will be under the charge of the Lazar-
lists of Cologne, whose funds have con-
tributed millions of marks for char
liable purposes in the holy land. In
short. says the Paris contemporary. to
which we are indebted for the fore
going, it is Germany which holds the
supremacy in Jerusalem, and that SUI
premacy is not hidden.-London Globe.

Lord Curzon's Position

Lord Curzon of Kedleston, who
opened the resumed debate in the
house of lords on the finance bill. oc-
cupies a unique position in the peer
age, says the London Globe. He is
the holder of an Irish peerage which
he selected in preference to a United
Kingdom peerage with an hereditary
seat in the house of lords to enable
him on his return from India to be a
member of the house of commons.
This object of ambition he was un-
able to crafty. and accordingly he was
elected an Irish representative peer.
He is the only Irish representative
peer ever elected to that position with
out connection with Ireland by family
or property. He is, moreover. the only
Irish representative peer since the
union who was elected to that position
when heir apparent to a British peer
age.
Lord Curzon is the eldest son of Lord
Scarsdale. who, like the marquis of
Normandy, is a clergyman, and will, on
succeeding to that peerage, be unable
to divest himself or the Irish repre-
sentative peerage, which is an Office
for life and not vacated even by per-
manent mental incapacity.

Remarkable Peer of England

one of the most remarkable members
OF the peerage is Lord Halsbury, who
has just celebrated his eighty fourth
birthday. In spite of his great age,
says M. A. p, he is wonderfully Wig
orous, and he still indulges in long
walks, while his mind is as keenly
active as ever. His career at the bar
was one of the most brilliant in the
history of British law, and he took
part in some of the most famous cases
of his time
BY the way. it is not generally known
to the present generation that Lord
Halsbury once narrowly escaped death
from pistol shot fired by madman
while the famous lawyer was defend
ing a prisoner.
There is good story told of the
days when Lord Halsbury was bar
rister He was arguing case on be-
half OF Welshman and showed great
knowledge of the principality and its
people.
