CLUB HOUSE LOOTED.
Tent, Silverwnre. Dishes and Some
Mineral Water % Stolen.

The club house of the Thirteen club.
which Is situated on the shores Of Eagle
bay. was broken into a few nights ago
ard goods amounting to several hundreds
Of dollars in value were STOLEN by parties
who are yet unknown.
Tho club Is of n Bohemian nature and
has in Its history of a good many years
entertained many distinguished people.
1t Is situated in a. part of the lake shore
which is difficult Of access and therefore
has not gained much publicity This
ract leads to the belief the robbers are
not from this vicinity but are members
Of the gang which has been looting
camps along the shore of Grand Isle.
Among the articles which were taken
away are a 20 by 20 wall tent, a few
dozens OF silver knives. forks and spoons,
n quantity of dishes, two cases of min
eral water, cot. and other articles. one
feature of the theft resembles that of the
workers on Grand Isle, and that is the
craving for canvas. The tent was am
ply supplied with ropes, poles and other
raraphernalia, but nothing but the can
vas was taken.
The burglary was plainly not the work
Of one man but of several, and the con-
clusion drawn by some is that 1t is the
work of boatmen. Bushes on the bank
Of the lake show that some heavy OBJ
ject was dragged that way. and 1t is not
improbable that boatmen are using the
canvas for sails The slverware is all
marked with the figure 49, and the
other articles would be easily identified.
Entrance to the club house was easily
effected. Sliding doors connect 1t with
the veranda and the cleats of these were
torn out. No damage, outside of what
was stolen. was done the premises.

A pretty young woman who gave her
name as Miss n. W. Glazier of New York
discovered yesterday morning Mt the rail-
road station that she had lost a purse
conta lining 1890 and a railroad ticket She
became distracted. walked hurriedly up
and down the station platform and in
side the waiting room. The flyer was
due in a few minutes and, of course,
she couldn't travel without money or
ticket.
In desperation she applied to the ticket
agent, Thomas w Lee, asking him what
she WAS to do. Although two phone bells
were ringing and a row of people were
waiting to secure tickets and Pullman
car chairs. Mr.. Lee, who had found the
purse lying beneath the iron wicket that
encloses the little window. found time
to ascertain that the money and ticket
really belonged to the woman.
I'm so glad" she said please take
this" and she pushed under the wicket
a crisp five dollar note.
Thanks" was the reply. but l can't
take it. The railroad company pays me
for looking after such things"

LITTLE MARGUERITE
EUGENIA H|GGs

The death angel has visited the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Higgs and
claimed their little two-year-old daugh-
ter, Marguerite Eugenia. She was
taken i'll only three days ago with
diphtheria and died early last night.
1t was all so sudden and so swift that
the fond parents were dazed with the
awfulness OF their overwhelming sor.
row. Before they could come to "A
realization of the situation death had
Invaded their happy home and stolen
away from them the light, the joy, the
sunshine of their lives.
Like a ray of light from some far
away star, she came for a few brief
days to brighten and bless their home,
and now she has returned to the
Father of Light, from whom cometh
every good and perfect gift, and with
whom there Is neither variableness
nor the shadow Of turning. To Him
The Eagle would point the grief
stricken parents for comfort and con-
ISOLATION.
She was borne from the home at
o'clock this afternoon and tenderly
laid to rest in the city cemetery, Dr..
NJ. E. Weaver conducting the funeral

Mere size is no sin against the

Much is said of the repeal Of this
statute and of constructive legislation
intended to accomplish the purpose

chants and business men TO follow. 1t
may be that such plan will be
evolved, but | submit that the discus.
sions which have been brought in re-
cent days by the fear Of continued ex-
ecution OF the anti-trsut law have pro-
duced nothing but glittering general
tiles.

man law becomes better understood
and the committing Of it partakes
more of studied and deliberate de-
fance of the law, we can be confident
that juries will convict individuals

The attempt to find line within
which monopolies and illgal combna.
tons might exercise moderate power
and be supported by the courts, Mr.
Taft pointed out, has failed.
Theorists and others engaged in
business violating the statute" he
said, have hoped that some such line
would be drawn by the courts; but no
court of authority has ever attempted
it.
1T is not the purpose of the statute
to confiscate the property and capital

GREAT DAY At ALLEN ACADEMY
A Distinguished Visitor Delivered an
Interesting Address to the Fac
ulty and Students.

DR.. w. ID. Weatherford, general sec
rotary for college Y. NJ. G.. AS Of
America, and Mr.. j. l.. Hunter, secre-
tary for the state OF Texas, visited
Allen Academy last evening and
brought with them great uplift for
the school. DR.. Weatherford visited
the school year ago, and Mr.. Hunter
has made it several visits; but on no
former visit have these men brought
quite so great blessing.
The distinguished visitors, together
with Rev. Glenn Finn, were guests
at supper in the dining hall.
At o'clock the school assembled
in the chapel. After song by the
school and a short prayer by Mr..
Baker, Tom Conway, president of the
Academy Y. M. C. A., in few earnest
and well chosen words, introduced DR..
Weatherford.
Like one who has great message
and knows how to tell 1t, DR.. Weather
ford spoke with wonderful directness
and force. His theme was The
Power of a Clean Life" He said there
is power in clean life for three rea-
sons First, because it makes one be-
lieve in himself, and that is half the
battle: no man ever did great work
who did not believe in himself. Sec
ond, clean life gives others conf
dence in us, and we can do no great
thing unless others believe in us.
Third, there is power in a clean life
because one who has lived such life
has always at his command the cumu-
lstive force of right habits and the
moral effect of former victories Ey-
cry victory leaves us stronger, nerves
Us for the next battle; every surren-
der leaves us weaker, an easier prey
to the next temptation.
For forty minutes the speaker held
his audience with hooks Of STEEL A
profound impression was made on all
present, and at the conclusion scores,
both teachers and students, went for
ward TO pledge themselves to clean
and noble living.
State. Secretary Hunter was then in
troduced He made an appeal in be-
half of the student conference to be
held during the holidays at Ruston,
La. lie complmented the academy on
the representative it sent last sum
mer TO Montreal, n. c.. and expressed
the hope that the academy would send
two or three men to Ruston. The boys
were ready to act on the suggestion,
and in a few minutes time subscribed
sS5 for the purpose. This will enable
tie academy to send three or four
ren, and put Allen Academy in the
front ranks of preparatory schools Of
Texas in this great movement.
All honor TO such men as Weather
ford, Hunter, Mercer, Bonn and Steger
who are getting hold of the choice
young men Of our schools and helping
them to make their lives count for the
most

DEATH Of A STRANGER
Came Here in Dying Condition and
Died at Fountain santarium.

One day last week an old man came
into the city and was in a very serious
condition when he arrived The Of
fcers found him on the street uncon-
scious and carried him to the police
station, where he was given medical
attention and cared for one night. The
next day he was removed to Boriskie's
boarding house and on Saturday was
carried to the Fountain sanitarium.
Re was given every attention at the
sanitarium, but his condition was so
serious that but little could be done
for him, and he died on Sunday night,
He had quite a sum of money with
him, about $3.50, which was sufficient
to pay all his expenses of every kind.
On his person was found bank pass
book from Waco, bearing the name of
James Mccormick, Sheriff Conlee tel
ephoned to the chief of police at Waco
but very little information could be
secured in regard to him. 1t was found
that he had 500 on deposit in a bank
there, and his boarding house was
also found Neither place, however,
could give any information in regard
to him.
This being all the information that
could be secured, the officials buried
him in the city cemetery late yester-
day afternoon.

very difficult to get prompt shipments
