THE SUNDAY
QUESTION,

II believe ina decOrous OBJ
servance of Sunday, but I do not
think that Puritanical Sabbath
is the best in a large city" said
a lavmau, who is regular IN his
church attendance.
Il am now quite an old man,
and can remember when Sunday
Was kept very strictly in our
family. No ice was delivered on
Sunday at our house The Sun

Monday (the base ball fever not
high them. We had cold dinner
on Sunday. We children were
not allowed to buy fruit or soda
water, and not even allowed to
take a street ear ride. Sunday
afternoon was spent partly IN
memorizing Scripture and partly
in reading a Sunday school
book.
"The larger of the children at
tended services at night, as we'll

logical from a Puritan point OF
view we should cut out the hot
Sunday dinners and street Car
rides as we did in former years.
But we will not do it. l have
come gradually to believe that
a certain amountof innocent a.
musement on Sunday afternoon
is not bad. but l have no criti

"In a city, however, the masses,
even though many of them be
church goers do not believe IN
keeping Sunday as strictly as il

LOAN SHARKS.

Greenville, Miss. July 25.- .-Sena-
tor Van B. Boddie made what is
declared to be the fatal blow a.
gainst vhe loan offices of the city,
who deal strictly in small loans,
in a speech at the courthouse
yard last night, when he spoke
to 1000 people on ''The Evils of
the Loan Shark" There are
now ten loan offices in the city,
making small loans on personal
property at rate of 25 per cent,
per month. MIR. Beddie in his
speech, declared that the loan
offices we're a menace 10 the
community and were keeping
penniless and hungry the great
er part of the colored population
of Greenville. He rendered his
services and that of Attorney A.
J. Rose, FL. @. Bass, Eugene
Bogen and Judge Percy Bell to
defend free Of cast ANY victim
who had been caught in the
clutches of the loan shark"
The speaker assailed the loan
men calling them thieves, who
were as heartless as the wolf
who devoured the most helpless
lamb in the flock. .-Ex.

der Solved.

The wanton murder OF Her.
man Rosenthal, who was shot
down by assassins in front of a
noted hotel in New York City a
few days ago has been solved by
the Indictment of Police iLteuten
ant G. A. Becker for murder in
the hrst degree. Becker was
arraigned on the charge of hav-
ing ordered and planned the
ASSASSINATION. The indictment
came as a result of confessions
made late Monday night by three
men under arrest named "Bridgy
Webber, Jack Rose and Harry
WALTON. Each witness swore
separately and without qualifca-
tion that Becker bounded them
for weeks to '.get Rosenthal. >
1t was even bought out that
Becker expected Rose to bring a
bout the killing of Rosenthal
many days before the crime was
committed. The witness admit
ed that Becker had been cole C =
ing graft from gamblers for a
long time. Rose SAID he had
been the collector. The other
two men corroborated his state
ment. they having paid Rose for
police protection. The confess
ions were the result of the most
exciting series of events that
have taken place in New York
county for many years.

FARM CLUBS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS
Fourteen Thousand Membership in
Texas-Prizes Offered to Amount
of $4,000 This Year.

College Station, Tex, Oct. IL
There are 14.500 members enrolled
in the boys and girls clubs in Texas.
This work is conducted in connection
with the farmers cooperative demon
stration work and extends over all
sections Of the state. All grades OF
crops and several species of farm ami
mails are treated under scientific
methods. and the results obtained by
following government instructions
proved this branch of work to be very
beneficial.
In many case where land and crops
are properly treated. the yield has
increased more than so per cent. For
instance, Laura Cameron OF Clares-
vile, Bee county, raised 1859
pounds of cotton on one acre of land,
while the yield on the same area, OF
adjacent land, under ordinary meth
DDS was 190 pounds. In Lampasas
county a boy planted one acre OF
corn and produced So bushels, while
a girl in the anne section OF the state
canned 1900 two-pound cans of to-
matoes off one-eighth acre OF land.
Many more instances could be cited
where the increase in production has
been enormous, which proves that
with proper care and attention, that
crops can be grown successfully un.
der adverse conditions.
Prizes amounting to over $4,000
have been offered this year for the
best specimens of all crops and
great interest has been shown by the
younger farmers, over $500 partici
'pating in the contests. The expense
of conducting the boys and girl:
clubs department Is borne by the
general board of education, New
York city. in cooperation with the
state. 1t is expected that the de.
partment will be largely increased
next season.

GARRISON
STILL UNDER MADERO
Rumor Garrison There Had Been
Taken by Followers of dag Proves
Unfounded.

Probably caused by the quiet TAX
ing of Vera Crux by Felixe Diaz and
his followers Wednesday. a rumor
came out of San Antonio yesterday
that the garrison al Matamoros had
also been taken by followers of the
new Diaz movement in Mexico.
Careful inquiry at Matamoros last
night proved that there was abso-
lutely no foundation to the rumor.
Various officials there were inter
viewed, and laughed the rumor down.
Both soldiers and rurales rambled the
streets as they usually do on music
night, and there was not the least
indication that anything was amiss.
Matamoros has been singularly
free from the warfare that has been
waged through various portions of
the country on the other side Of the
Rio Grande during the past two or
three years. The outlook is that
these peaceful conditions are likely
to continue for some time.
General Estrada, in command OF
the Matamoros garrison, leaves this
morning on an unofficial trip TO
Monterrey. During his absence he
will be replaced by an equally high
lofieial to arrive today.
