THAT NEW YORK HORROR.

Saturday afternoon about 6 o'clock,
after The Eagle was printed and dis
tributed, the following Associated
Press dispatch was received:
Fully one hundred persons were
burned to death or killed in a fire in
an eight-story factory building in the
wholesale district late this afternoon,
the victims being mostly shirtwaist-
making girls. Several life nets broke
and many persons were crushed to
death on the pavement by jumping
from the upper floors"
Later reports estimate the number
who lost their lives at about two hun
dred. There were no fire escapes and
the frantic inmates who could reach
the windows leaped from them only to
be crushed on the pavements of the
street, while those in the rear were
smothered by the smoke or cremated
alive. 1t was one of the most horrify-
ing spectacles that ever occurred. The
owners of the building should be, and
doubtless will be, held responsible for
failing to provide fire escapes.

A JAG PRODUCER.

Tom Morgan, editor of the San An
tonic press bureau, was probably re-
covering from Tag produced by i'm
bibing too much mescal when he wrote
this story:
For some time well known farmer
recognized as one of the leading 'drys'
of the state, had noticed that num-
Der of the hands on his place ap-
peared unusually hilarious. He was
quite sure that none of the popular
beverages of the day were being con-
sumed by them and began an investi-
CATION. He went where his men were
engaged in removing green feed from
silo. Af-er working about this for
time and breathing the fumes from
it, he discovered that he wanted to
dance, play tag with his men, and go
through all those unusual capers char
acteristic Of those who took on board
too much of the principal product of
Kentucky. Realizing that the entire
force of men were quite as intoxicated
as himself, he stopped the work for a
time and all were soon in their normal
condition. A second attempt to take
the contents from the silo brought on
another jagged condition of the entire
crowd, thus convincing the farmer that
as a modern and cheap boozatorium a
silo Is the latest thing out"

stances very unfavorable for observa-
tion and who probably never was more
than a mile from the railroad, is writ
ing for his paper as an authority on
conditions on the border. Speaking of
the raid of Mexican marauders last
week, he assumes that it was an ad-
vertising scheme of the Alpine Com
mercial Club to get that town ION the
map" He also assumes that there is
nobody in the southern part of Brew
ster county but vagrant Mexicans
whose only property Is goats. IL Mr..
Perry had taken the trouble to go
down into that country he would have
learned that there are in the district
invaded by the marauders five smelt-
ers and other mining property repre-
senting an investment of over five
million good American dollars, and
that there are some good farms in val
leys of Teslingua creek and the Rio
Grande, some of which are owned by
The Alpine Commercial
Club had no more to do with calling
for troops than had Mr.. Perry. The
request was sent out by James Lafa-
relle, a perfectly reliable man, who is
of one of the largest mining
plants and deputy sheriff of Brewster
county.

We have been asked repeatedly, If
Senator Bailey resigned in good faith,
why did he withdraw his resignation?
He did so because the big business in
terests demanded it of him. No better
evidence of this is needed than the
class of public men who sent kilograms
to Governor Colquitt and begged
Bailey to withdraw the resignation.
The majority of them were. standpat
republicans. Bailey wants to go to
New York to practice law, but he
would depend for clients upon the big
business interests and they will not
consent for him to resign because he
can serve them better in the senate.
This is one of the most striking illus
trations in all history Of the truth of
the declaration of Jesus that mo man
can serve two masters. II

The prophet Isaiah said the time
would come when every man would
gather the fruit of his own vine and
fig tree, and DR.. Hollander, professor
of economics in Johns Hopkins univer-
sityC says the time is coming when
poverty will be as obsolete as slavery.
All that is at present lacking to the
fulfillment of these prophesies is for
all those who profess to be the follow
ers of Jesus to obey the emancipation
proclamation issued by Him nineteen
hundred years ago.

Politics can no more be standard
lied than education or religion. While
it is true that fundamental principles
are a part of the body of eternal truth
and can never be changed, policies
must change with the times. The Ell
forts of Senator Bailey and his organs
to bark back to a past and well nigh
forgotten era of policies is as unrea-
sonable and as hopeless as would be
an attempt to induce the churches and
the schools to return to the crude
methods of that day.

In a recent interview Champ Clark

a decline of religion, but to a change

The women of the Civic League are
too easily discouraged. The farmer can
not reap the harvest Immediately after
planting the seed. Cleanliness is large
ly a matter of habit, and habits of
communities as well as those of indi-
viduals are not easily changed. No re-
form can be permanent unless desire
for better things is implanted, and
this can be done only by education. If
the grownups are incorrigible, work on
the children. The next generation will
reap the harvest.

Captain Ludlam, of Cape May, n. j.,
is establishign large fishing plant on
Steadman Island, two miles from the
mainland of the Arkansas Pass coast,
and will engage in deep sea fishing. A
number of large fishing boats have al
ready arrived and others are on the
way from the Atlantic coast The fish
will be packed in cars at Arkansas Pass
wharf and will be shipped to North
ern markets. The plant will have
packing and shipping capacity of 49,
900 pounds of fish per week. Captain
Ludlam predicts that this will be one
of the greatest fish markets in the
United States, as fishermen can work
the entire year on the Texas coast,
compared with only half the time on
the Atlantic, coast. Texas has 1887
acres of oyster beds, yielding 102,327
barrels per annum, and 100000
pounds of fish were taken from Texas
output approXimates half million dol
lars per annum.
The Texas farmers have learned
well the LESSONS of diversification. Our
corn crop is making rapid gains on
cotton we are raising our own wheat,
oats and hay, and our vegetables sup
ply the Northern and Eastern market
We are not only diversifying our prod
ucts, but we are feeding it on the
farm fattening stock and using it in
raising another crop. The March Fed
eral Crop Reporter shows 81 ,635 600
bushels of corn in the grainaries Of
the Texas farmers on March |, which
Is 81 per cent of the total output; we
have 1856, 900 bushels of oats on hand,
which is 20 per cent of the total out
put and we have 2,629,000 bushels OF
wheat, which is IA per cent OF the
total yield. Our supply of cereals is
sufficient to carry us through until the
next crop, which adds to the ndepend-
ence of the Texas farmers. The proper
disposition of crop IS as important
as raising it, and the above figures
show that the Texas farmers are close
students of practical farming and are
financially able to manage their az
fairs.
The railroads have put on an "onion

Late Millinery Fads.

Two-colored effects are liked in mil
linery. The dark facing on the white
hats and the coiored facings on many
other hats are signs OF this.
An unusual hat Is Of white broadcloth
applied SO smoothly over a blocked shape
as to look like white felt at little dis
tance. On a high-crowned model there is
IA wee bit Of brim faced with black vel
vet, and a band of black velvet. drawn
rather loosely, reaches to within a few
inches of the top of the crown. Two
"ears'' of the velvet are faced with the
white broadcloth.
While taffeta or ribbon fringed out at
sides or ends Is seen on some hats,
newer kind of fringing is appearing on
others. This is row of fringe in a con-
trasting color applied along the edge Of
silk or ribbon or velvet. White fringe
may be used on a dark bow and black
or a color on white bow.
A draped turban of taffeta has the
edges of the silk which forms the crown
fringed out, so that the line of fringe
extends spirally to the top.
More unusual is a hat of White SILK
with turned down brim of black vel
vet. This is in the style which has so
often been likened to lan1pshade, and
the resemblance in this case Is greatly
