A whirlwind campaign was carried

on both OF which they have options.
The money for the lot is already In

it will be bought at once. An archi-

to Indianapolis to study the new COL
ored Y. NJ. c. A. that has recently

When Alonxo Steele died in Texas
4 year or two ago the last white man
who fought In the battle OF San ia
cinto passed away. writes Frank Put
nam.
A few days ago W. p. Zuber, who,
a 4 boy OF sixteen, was with the
Texas army at San Jacinto. but did
not bear arms in the fight. died at his
Texas home. He was on hospital
duty during the fighting. He was the
last survivor of all the white men
present on that occasion, but 1t Is
not wholly clear that he was the last
survivor. IT.
1t is likely that honor belongs to
an ancient darkey, believed to have
been Sam Houston's body servant,
who still lives In or near Houston.
The old mans story is accepted by
the oldest residents, sons. some OF
them, of men who fought at San ia
cinto, and more familiar than any
one else with the history Of that at
fair.
The passing of the last white sur
vivor Of San Jacinto directs attention
to one OF the. most extraordinary pages
OF all history. San Jacinto ranks next
after the. battle OF Saratoga and Get
tysburg among the decisive battles
fought on this continent. &c..
Saratoga proved the British could
not subdue their revolving American
colonists; Gettysburg determined the
fate of the Confederacy; San Jacinto
pushed the American rule southwark
from q vast region on the Pacific
coast and from an inland region In
GLIDING all of Texas, with parts OF
New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and
wyoming. 49,.
The battle of San Jacinto was In
character unique. It was won with
the bowie knife against odds Of three
to one; won by undisciplined plains
men opposing Santa Annals best
drilled and best equipped regiments.
1t was the only battle in which the
lesser army lured the greater into a
position from which there was no es-
cape for either except by death or
victory. Houston. retreating before
Santa Anna, led him into a region
bounded by swamps and marshes on
two sides. with a wide, deep bayou
on another and a narrow bayou, branch
Of the first, on the fourth side. =
Houston backed into his position
and Santa Anna followed. Then Hous-
ton burned the bridge across the mar
row bayou, the only entrance or exit
OF the theater of battle.

meeting was when Marion Jackson,
delivering an address on the future
Of the Men and Religion Forward

Gentlemen, our agitation against

beginning.
THE liquor traffic is the backbone
Of the social evil; and we are going

school suffragists, not only firmly be-

ballot, but they can express their
views and opinions so eloquently and
Friends predicted Monday they would
be notable leaders in the cause
when school days were over.
This was demonstrated when they
championed the affirmative side of a
spirited debate on the question of
whether women should be permitted
equal rights in the matter of suffrage,
and won hands down, as it were, over
their two male opponents, Cecil Miles
and Roland Butler, of the Tech High
School. The debate was held in the
Luckie street school, under auspices
of the LuclIie Street School Debating
Society, recently organized by Mrs.
NJ. C. Thomas, the principal, for the
instruction and literary uplift Of the
younger folks Of the community.
Both young women in showing why
women are entitled to the ballot,
praised the chain Of Hearst newspa-
pers and magazines, and based much
of their argument on points and in
formation stressed by those publica-
tons.
/ IF it is possible at all to obtain
equal rights for women-and it is
the women and the Hearst papers
will get it," said Miss Warren
