DEATH OF MRS. E. M. sALLEY.
A Sweet Christian Wife and Mother
Has Entered in Rest and Peace.

Some writer with blessed vision
reaching beyond the borders of this
earthly tabernacle has said:
There is 10 DEATH the stars go down
To rise on some Fairer Shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore"
If this be true-and it is one of the
sweet hopes of every trusting, Chris
tian soul that death Is but a transition
from earth with its trials to Heven
with its ioys-then Mrs. Salley is to-
day at home with that Saviour she
loved and trusted.
After long and weary illness, run
ming through many months. Mrs.
Matilda Norman Salley. the beloved
wife of Mr.. f. NJ. Salley. sank sweetly
and peacefully to rest this morning at
2:15 o'clock at the home of her
mother Mrs. w. S. Stuart. Her ILL.,
ness was long and trying, accompanied
by an unbearable WEAKNESS and much
suffering, yet through II all she dis
played a patience and fortitude that
come only to those who have an abid-
ing faith in God. No sufferer was ever
blest, however. with more tender So
licitude and loving care by those near
and dear to them than she. Not one
thing was left undone. Patient hands
never grew weary and the long and
sleepless vigils never ended. And

She was united in marriage to Mr..

JUDGE MALoNEY ANNOUNCES.
Seeks Reelection as County Judge Of
Brazos County for Another Term.

Tell the people of-tfie county l am
candidate for reelection" said
County Judge ]. T. Maloney to The
Eagle editor, "and that my candidacy
is subject to the action OF the July
Democratic primary" the judge con-
tinued.
When asked as to what he wished
to have said concerning himself, he
replied, Just say what you can hon
estly and truthfully find in your heart
to say. You know me, know my record,
what ! have done, what ! am trying
to do, what ] want to do. Tell 1t just
like it is" AS one said OF old, write
me as am" We thought this a
straightforward, manly declaration
and well worthy of being made part
of his announcement. When a man
wants to be written just as he is, moth
ing covered up, no lodging, nothing
enlarged or magnified, 1t is mighty
good evidence that he is not only sure
OF himself, but that he has a record
upon which he is not afraid to stand.
Judge Maloney is serving his first
term as county Judge and has done re-
markedly well. taking into considera-
ton the short time he has been in Of
fee. II must be remembered there
are many duties connected with the
county judges office, and they cannot
be mastered in day. Many policies
must not only be studied out, but test
ed out, so that the bes things to be
done for the county may be done, and
done in such a way that the interests
of the people may be best served, and
the resources of the county conserved.
Judge Maloney has thoroughly anal
yzed the financial affairs of the county,
one of the hardest things to do, and
one of the most important. With this
knowledge he is in a position TO intel
ligently deal with every proposition
that comes up, knowing just what can
be done and what cannot
The paupers and the unfortunates
of the county have been humanely
treated and well cared for during
Judge Maloney's administration, and
a New Jail has been erected. This to
our mind is the greatest act of his
administration. II has long been need
ed and humanity and justice cried out
for It,
The roads and bridges of the county
have been kept in as good condition as
il is possible to keep them under the
present system and with the present
resources. The December flood was
disaster in so far as the roads and
bridges of the county were concerned,
but Judge Maloney and the county
commissioners took firm grip on the
situation. went to work without a
days delay, and conditions are almost
normal again.
Judge Maloney favors a system of
first class highways for the entire
county. Permanent roads that will
last, and when once CONSTRUCTED, will
require no further expense except the
necessary repairs and upkeep. To get
such roads Judge Maloney looks to
the people to take the initiative by pc
tition to the court for what they want.
Personally he favors a special road

The greatest war stake. commercially

the kaiser, as an inducement for England
to remain neutral, had offered to give
guarantees against annexation of French
territory on the continent. But no such
guarantees were offered as to French
colonial possessions. In fact. the parti-
tion of the colonies as Spoils of war was
intimated.
There can be no question as to the
value of the French colonies as terri
torial possessions of any European power
and their Importance. also, in world
trade. If the kaiser were able to annex
a few hundred thousand square miles of
French colonial territory, he would be

Neutrality Treaties.

of results when treaties of neutrality

protest of the civilized world against

In 1895 Napoleon Bonaparte. anxious

marched them over a strip of the Prus-
sian dependency of Anspach against
Prussian protest, much as the Germans
of today disregarded the Belgian pro-
test against the violation of their ter
ritory. So the outraged Prussians
armed and went to war to ayenge the
insult, although Napoleon pleaded the
ground of military necessity, just -
Germany did last month.

ested in the labor of tracing words to
their source, or near their source

These people did not always dwell
in the cold and cheerless regions Of
far northeastern and mountainous
southeastern Europe. They were chill
dren of western Europe and neighbors
to the Gauls. The Wend, a branch Of
the Slav family, dwelt in what Is now
Prussia, and / have read in some good
authority that the city of Berlin stands
over the site of very early COM
munity of Wends. OF course, they
came into the more genial climate OF
central or western Europe from the
far east. and, as a matter of fact, every
great race movement has followed the
sun from east to west. That glowing

Teutonic knights were prominent in
this expulsion. Thousands of the Slavs
whom the Germans and Goths con-
Quered were, in conformity with the
practices of the period, reduced TO
slavery, and in this way the word Slav
came to mean In the German tongue

There is no connection between the
words Serb and serf or servant. The

whether some of these vessels shall
pass through the Panama canal with
view to getting coast traffic. 1t is not
unlikely that the French steamers will
use the canal for the port Of Tahiti In
the Society Islands.
American transoceanic travellers are
apt to look on the French merchant
marine as composed chiefly of fast pas
senger vessels with splendid cuisine.
They overlook the fact that the inter
change of traffic between the United
states and French ports Is heavy. Much
Of this traffic is carried in French bot
toms.
The British navy, in keeping the ocean
lanes open, is protecting the French
merchant marine as well as the British
in obtaining food supplies. Argentine
wheat, for example, might still be
bought by France; but the trouble. so
far as the merchant marine is concerned.
is that, with French industries par
aIyzed, there can be no return traffic.
The most that can be looked for is that
the French shipping lines will come
out of the war without actual loss of

large sums of French money were loaned
in Germany. These loans. however. were
of temporary nature, and it is not like
ly that large sums of French money were
invested in Germany at the outbreak OF
hostilities.
French investments in the United
States have not been large. and the ex-
perience with one railway company
whose bonds were listed on the Paris
bourse did not encourage further invest
ments. Yet France undoubtedly now
would be much better Off If some of her
surplus millions had gone into American
securities. for there would be the GER
tainty of realizing on them. French trade

imports in normal years something like

already feeling the inability of the
French textile industries to work their
product into finished material.
The western wheat fields and -four mills
will feel it. unless contracts made before
the war broke out can be fulfilled.
France however. depends more on Ar
gentina and on Roumania and other
parts of continental Europe for her
cereal food supply than on the United

the Krupp works in their immensely,

countries they have obtained orders in

The basis of the French iron and steel

coal deposits to supply the bulk of the

poses. Discoveries within the last few
years have increased the value Of the
Meurthe deposits. The historical old
