Austin, Tosas, Jen. 14.—Gov.
Geo. Pendleton. Helton, Texas-
Dear Governor: Alter a full con-
sideration of the titnens of all the
men of my acquaintance* for the
Presidency of tne A. aud M. Col
lege, I huve reached the oonciu-
ttion that (ion. W. H. Mabry is by
all odds the beat m*in for the plaee.
My reasons for this opinion are ae
follows:
1. He ha* always been n friend
and admirer of General H tss, and
will, therefore, not disturb his ex-
cellent policy in managing the in
stitution.
2. He is a graduate from the
Yirginia Institute us a civil en-
gineer, and in other branches, a
well educated man.
8. He íb a first class disciplina
rian, and a splendid diplomat.
4. He possesses the greatest tact
and taste for farming of any pro
Incisional man that 1 know of, and
ts not ashamed to plow himself.
6. He is honest, sober, moral,
reliable, industrious, aud is inca
paule of deserting or slighting a
trust.
6. He is a native Texan and is
proud of his state, faithful to her
cnaiitutiou, laws, understands her
ni.«lory, and would «lit in her de-
feuse.
7. He is young, 45 years old,
beitithy, vigorous, active, am hi
tious, proud and exemplary.
8. He is a gentleman. In ali
res|tects one of whom every mem
her of the board will feel proud,
in less than a year, if they shall
appoint him.
If you knew him as well as 1 do,
you would stand by bim with as
much loyalty and pleasure, as you
once did b, the railroad com mis
sion at a serious crisis, which you
and 1 well remember.
1 trust you will work to get Ma-
bry appointed, and hold me re-
sponsible for ali mistakes that may
be made by it. Your friend,
J. b. Hogg.

The fallowing ottoial report of
the aetion of the joint oommittoe
on federation appointed by the
General Conferenoee of the two
£pisoopai Method isms which met
at Baltimore recently has been
given to the press by the secretary,
Dr. H. J. Cooke, editor of the
Methodist Advocate.
Afier an elaborate discussion
covertng several day* conference
the joint oommittee finally agreed
on the following resolutions, the
exact language of which and par-
ticulars explanatory will be given
hereafter as provided for by the
joint committee.
1. That the General Conferenoee
of the two ohurches be reooin*
mended to order tue preparation
of a commission catecnism, hymn
000k and order of pubiio worship
for both churches.
2. While recognising the value
ami growth of the Epworth Leazne
of the respective ohurches and re-
joicing in the spirit of fraternity
manifested iu their biennial inter-
national conference in the absenon
of any legal provision for it, it is
suggested to the General Confer*
ence? the propriety of recognising
and regulating it by legal provis-
ions.
3. That the General Conferenoee
of the respective churches be ree-
ommended to adopt measures for
the joint administration of tbeir
publishing interests in Japan and
Chinese.
4. That while appreciating fully
the Christian comit/ prevailing
in our missions in foreign lamia
and having given careful conside-
ration to the principle and desire*
bility of co operative administra*
tion as a means of lessening the
expenditure* of funds in the prose*
cution of the work, the committee,
without attempting to formulate
any plan of such co-operation,
commends the subject to tbe con-
sideration of the two General Con-
ference*.
5. It was further agreed for the
prevention of hurtful competition
that in places where either ohuroh
is established and supplying the
needs of tbe people, new work
shall not be obtained by the other
church without the consent of the
bishop having jurisdiction.
♦>. The following with reference
to Christian education was adopted:
Kesolvéd, 1. This expression is
of such practical form as will in-
ciense tho efficiency of higher in-
stitutions of learning.
2. That the yaars 19(K) an I 1901
should be t íe patio I for tho pre-
sentation of the subject of higher
duration to all our people and
their gifts to the cause.
8. That it, is the imperative
duty of the Protestant Church to
provide in tne oity of Washington
a university, Chrissiun, Catholic,
tolerant and American, having for
its sole aim post graduate and pro-
fessional study und original re-
search, and th it the American uni-
versity is worthy of the confidence
ami benefits of the people in all
our churches; we therefore rojo u.
mend that tho claims of this insti-
tution be comuioudo 1 to both
churches for special contributions
during tho closing year of the
present ami tho opening year of
tito coming century. Wo also
agree to rocoiu uond to the Gon-
dii! C inferences of the two
churches provision for tho recep-
tion of ministers from ouo church
lo the other wit.iout loss of orders
iu ministerial standing.
The story is told of a 16 year old
boy raisid io Bell county, who
upon boiug told that there was no
cotton grower in the northern
states, oxclai ned. "I don't be-
lieve a wort I of it! What in the
world di the people have to sell to
buy sometuiug to eat with if they
don't rai.-e cottou?"—Belton Re-
porter:
Tho S in Angelo Enterprise sug-
gests establishing a factory to
make soap from the fat of prairie
uogs.
An eastern company will build a
now compress at Brown wood, with
a capacity of 1SU oules un hour.
There may be nothing new un-
der the suu. but the imitations fre-
quently surpass the original.
