prominent Texans in a general way
the matter of purchasing a New York

were largely interested in business
matters in New York and it is unnec-

matter was discussed informally with
the Texas gentlemen referred to and

ANNA HELD STILL ALIVE
Noted Actress Puts Up Great Fight for
Life.

New York. Aug. 12-Anna Held,
the noted actress, who contracted
pneumonia after a five months battle
for life against a rare bone disease,
still has a fighting chance, it is stated
by her physician, DR.. Edward M.
Overton.
DIR. Overton said:
Miss Held's condition today seems
a trifIe more encouraging. Her condf-
ton of stupor the last ten days has
been associated with delirium- Her
temperature is now gradually going
down. At best she has a long. hard
pull ahead of her, but I will not say
that her remarkable spirit and vitality
will not bring her back. She still has
a fighting chance"
The physician said he considered it
a marvel of medical science that Miss
Held had thus far won thru in her
battle against death.

Loved His Fat Wife
But Affection Died

Bellingf1am, Wash, Aug. 12.-Har-
riet j. Slovenian was fat. In fact,
according to a letter written by her
husband, c. Hiram Showerman, of
Walla Walla, her stoutness was her
chief charm and it was because of
that that Hiram married her.
But, according to C. Hiram's letter.
after he welded his wife she con-
stantly "railed against the way God
Almighty had formed her" and finally
killed his affection.
This letter was the last straw says
Mrs. Slovenian in her complaint for
a divorce. She was granted a decree
and $40 a month alimony.

Bruce Evans Appeal
to Young People

According to Bruce Evans, the evan
gelist, man can attend church, go
forward, shake the hand of the evan
gelist, join church and yet not be a
Christian Mr.. Evans took the life Of
the rich young ruler as the subject Of
his discourse last night. 1t was a strong,
stirring appeal to the young people Of
the churches to live whole hearted Chris
tian lives.
Nothing satisfies like the realization
of a life well spent or work well done
said Mr.. Evans. Christ met a fig tree
that bore no fruit. He cursed it and it
withered and died. In the Bible men
are not condemned so much for SHINING
as fer doing nothing. Enthusiasm in
the things of the church will solve fifty
percent of our difficulties in the esti-
nation of Bruce. To quote from him:
q prefer sensation to stagnation for
stagnation is the next station to dam
nation.'
''Any one would rather ride on a
band-wagon than hearse," he said
and his congregation seemed to agree
with him.
There were several who went forward
at the invitation Of the evangelist. He
speaks tonight.

Hluh Kind Of Art.

An incident cited In 'The Westmin-
ster Gazette" illustrates the kind of
miosis that Is a high kind of art. At
sitting of the Parnell commission a
witness for the prosecution made sew
eral damaging remarks. Thereupon
Mr.. Biggar, a Parnell follower stood
up from his seat in the well and har-
angued the judges and the audience
for three crowded minutes. He de-
nounced "The Times" the evidence,
the government and the judges in pic
turesque language. When he was
quite finished, Mr.. Justice Day slowly
opened his eyes and, leaning forward,
said: THANK you. Mr.. Biggar-you
have not assisted U.S." Our own Mr..
Choate might have eQualled this; yet
even his satire was usually Of more
frank and unrestrained character. The
truth seems to be that, for better or
for worse we are q candid and burt
ing nation, with no liking or knack for
the subtle business Of restrained
speech.-Exchange.
