The Dallas Commercial Club Trade excursionist* arrived In 'Dallas lale
Saturday afternoon after a trip of a Week's duration In the Indian and Okla-
homa Territories and North Texas In the Interest of the commercial welfare
of Dallas. The special train had traveled 1,057 miles according to the calcu-
lations of Colonel John G. Hunter, and visited approximately seventy-five
stations where stops were made. The special truin arrived llftem mlnutoa
ahead of time and the Whltecappers plied out with their luggage and mads
a rush for street cars and carriages which wero to convey them to their
homes. The members of the party were tired, It niust bo admitted, but their
enthusiasm over results accomplished for Dallas by the trip buoyed them up
and they bid cach other happy farewells until they could meet again Mon-
day morning in their usual business vocations.
The fifth annual trade excursion whs not a hurrah event. This does not
mean that the members lacked enthusiasm, but It does mean that the under-
taking of visiting a large number of merchants of the two territories and
North Texas was undertaken in a moat systematic and careful manner. The
results to be obtained from the trip will be learned In the near future
through the regular channels of trade to Dallas and the Dallas business
men who made the trip are confident that they have won hundreds of new
customers for Dallas and thousands of friends, besides giving tlio metropolis
of Texas the best kind of advertising. It would have been hard to collect a
more representative crowd of Dallas business men than those who made tho
six day trip. The crowd was evenly balanced, too. There were tho older
business men who lent dignity to the crowd and were the restraining Influ-
ence, and the young and ambitious who furnished the enthusiasm.
Dallas invaded the territory of several rivals on the trip through (lie ter-
ritories. It is realized by the business men that Dallas, Kansas City, St. Jo-
seph, St. Louis and Oklahoma City will, in the very near future, light for
supremacy in one of the richest, but as yet undeveloped agricultural sections
of the country, rivaling even tho black waxy belt of Texus. The Dallas bus-
iness men will be placed on an equal footing with the other cities so far as
low rates are concerned, when the work of making tho Trinity river navigable
is completed. The Dallasltes had a story to tell to the residents of the terri-
tories. They made their story brief and to the point. "Wo only ask your
patronage on condition that wo make low prices and as good terms as the
other fellow." While the visit, to the Territories was for the purpose of mak-
ing new acquaintances, the dash through North Texas was to keep in toui-h
with the people who have done so much to assist Dallas to Its present posi-
tion In the world of commerce. North of the Red river the greeting glv.n
the Invaders was warm, Indeed, hut the reception accorded the Dallasltes In
North Texas could be called nothing less than enthusiastic. The Commer-
cial club and the 150,000 club's enterprise to build a great city, the excursion-
ists were told time and time again, was on Inspiration to other Texas and
Territory towns. The residents of the latter section had heard of Dallas
pluck and unsubdued ambition, and they were glad to see what kind of men
were behind the movement.
The demonstration car was o distinct novelty and a distinct success. 'Prof.
Johnson, who was in charge of the corn culture demonstrations, estimates
that he addressed over 1,000 farmers during the trip. These agriculturalists
are scattered from Commanche to Piano and from McKluney to Texarkana.
Tho addresses were made at close range and Prof. Johnson was able to
answer the questions of .every farmer whg.took an Interest In the demon-
strations. Fred Jones, who is an enthusiast on the culture of wheat, was al-
most as active as Prof. Johnson In the movement to start the Texas farm-
ers in the right direction to more proflitably cultivate their land. Mr. Jones
delivered his last talk ut Garland, and retired to his seat In the Pullman to
enjoy awell-earned rest.
Henry Dorse.v, whose enterprise made possible the publication of n. dally
paper on board the train, deserves "much credit for his untiring energy in pro-
moting the inetrests of Dallas through such on advertising medium, t'ol-
onel John G. Hunter and others who deserve credit, for making the club's fifth
annual excursion a complete success are mentioned In the set of resolutions
adopted by the Cmmerclnl club at a meeting held on the train near Garland.
Another benefit resulting from the excursion, which Is probably noticed
only locally, Is the closer relations and the better understanding among the
Dallas business men who made the trip.
THE TRIP HOMEWARD.
The Dash From Paris to Dallas by the
Special Train.
Farmersville, Tex., May 27. -Tho
Dallas Commercial club's special is
now in the care of the Santa Fe. From
Paris to Roxton It was a ride in the
rain. The country In this vicinity looks
flooded with excessive rains and the
Inhabitants needed the cle erful words
of encouragement given them by th"
Evangelists. The members of the par-
ty appeared as fresh as daisies this
morning when they were called for
breakfast.
Flowers at Farmersville.
The train arrived promptly on time
nt Farmersville. There was a large
delegation of citizens on hand to greet
the Dallasltes. About twenty-five lit
tie girls dressed In white nnd carrying-
bouquets of flowers welcomed the ex-
cursionists. They shared their flow-
ers with the visitors. Mayor H. M. Rol-
lins mounted tho stop of one of the cars
and formally presented the key of the
city to the Dallasltes. J. 15. Farnsworth
made the response.
Tribute to the Ladies.
A crowd of pretty young ladles as-
sembled on the square to hear tho mil •
t>ic and the specclimaklng. J. W. Blake
was called upon for a speech and he
responded with a tribute to the ladles
which excelled any previous oratorical
effort that ho had made on the trip
Mounted on a common form wagon the
tall and dignified Dallasltc held tho
attention of hla audience until the last
word of his speech had been uttered,
and then he was enthusiastically
cheered. His speech follows:
"While I think it is always appro-
priate and right that upon these occa-
sions we should not only remember
the ladies, but that a special tribute
should be paid by some one to those
who weave nnd twine the roses of
heaven Into the life of man, and who
sometimes unite us In the fascinating
bonds of love, I am somewhat in doubt
as to the reason that prompted the
committee to select me as the victim
to-pay this tribute and discharge this
pleasant duty I fear that It Is a mis-
take. with an ulterior design, and hope
that I might 'talk too much,' as all
men will sometimes do, and thus hs
would destroy me as a competitor for
the smiles and favors of the ladles,
which he so much loves. An old bach-
elor In one of the meditative spells Is
■aid to have given this analysis of
woman: 'She is a perpetual paradox,
a chronic conundrum without an an-
swer, and unknown quantity possess*
ed with unexpected possibilities.' She
i la man's greatest earthly blessing, and
' the cause of moat of his misery. She
Is his chief Inspiration to the achieve-
ment of all that la good, grand and
Jtlorious in this world, and at the same
time a labor aavlng device to help him
a fool of himself. She soothes

"The man who has not some wo-
man somewhere. 'whose voice to him
Is sweet inuslc. whose smiles are his
brightest day, whose kiss Is the guar-
dian of his Innocence, whose arms are

most faithful counselors, and whose
bosom Is the softest pillow of his care,
has missed the sweetest and best part
of his life, arid has utterly failed In
the purpose of hla eruption.
"The old saying. 'The hand that
rocks tho cradle rules the world' is
more true than fanciful. If you will
take the trouble to investigate tho
character of the mothers of the great
men of the world you will almost,
without exception, find them spoken
of as rare and wonderful women. If
I were asked to say what it is that
gives to modern life Its vast superi-
ority over ancient. Its great sweetness,
its unlimited sympathy, not only with
humanity, but also vlth every form
of nature, Its greater power. Its
grander sweep; In fact, Its nearlng ap-
proach to complete living, I would say
the ever increasing influence of
woman.
PHILADELPHIA GANG
HAS SURRENDERED
last word in every controversy with
him. and. incidentally, about N7 per
cent of the preceding conversation.
She brings him into this world and a
few years la tor talks him to death.
Most of man's troubles are caused by
women, but so deftly does she pile
the load on him that when his burden
of trouble Is lifted he wonders uneas-
ily about hunt insr for more. Otherwise
there would be very few second wives.
She will cheerfully go to the stake
for truth's sake and tell a huge story
about her age. Khe will break her
heart because a man does what she
don't want him to do, and love him all
tlie better for so doing. She scorns all
advice In the selection of a husband,
but takes two other women along to
help her pick out a new hat. At six-
teen she Is a vawng woman: nt twen-
ty-live. If still unmarried, she Is a
girl. She will face the grim specter
of death without a tremor, and swoon
at the sight of a. mouse. The only
time she does what vou expect her to
do is when you expect her to do Just
what you don't expect her to do. She
is tho dearest thing In all the world,
and the most aggravating. The man
who fully understands a woman Is tho
man who understands that he don't
understand her. and lias sense enough
to let It go at that." A man who en-
tertains such an opinion of woman
would naturally indorse the sentiment
or the poet when he sang:
"Women since Eve have been the dev-
il's tools:
Men since Adam have been women's
fools.
Heaven might have spared us one tor-
ment when we fell.
Not given us women, or not promised
llMI.
"Far be it from me, my friends, to
indorse such sentiments. Rather l t
me say with the happy married man:
" ,xvol l(l "farce worth living,

" 'There is not a place in earth or
heaven.
There is not a task to mankind given.
There's not o. blessing or a woe.
There's not a whispered yea or no.
There's not a life, or death, or birth
That has a feather's weight of worth,
Without a woman In It.'
"The beginning of civilisation was
when some savage woman, under the
divine guidance of gentle instinct, and
yearning for something purer and no-
bler. ceased to wander wild In the for-
est. and made somewhere In a hollow
tree, or beneath the ledge of hanging
rock, the rude beginnings of a human
home. And human civilization will
endure strong and splendid until wo-
man. recreant to her great duty, suf-
fers to be polluted and destroyed that
great fountain of human happiness—
human virtue and human power, tho
home. As the mission of the Teuton-
ic woman who wandered 2000 years
ago half clad and savagia In the forest
of Germany was to teach her husband
love of liberty, of family, honor and
of truth, so her daughters of tho
twentieth century fulfills the grea^r
mission, 'not only to keen down the
base in man. but teach high thought
and amiable words, and courtliness and
desire of fame, and love of truth and
all that make man.'
"A woman's nature Is rich In ten-
derost and strongest sentiments. Tho
occasional specimen of the unsenti-
mental femal" who prides herself on
her coM blood and looks with disdain
on the warmer emotions of life is but
a travesty on womanhood. The de-
cadence of sentiment among our men
Is a source of regret and alarm, fur
the greatness of a people depends as
has been Irulv said by some one, 'not
so much on Its military achievements,
its commercial progress or Its intel-
lectual culture an upon the purity
and strength or Its higher sentiments.'
Thank heaven, these pure emotions
nnd diviner sentiments that glorify
humanity, abide untarnished and un-
diminished In the heart of our Anglo-'
Saxon women. 'O. woman, what won-
drous powers are locked in vour life!
Rvervthing you do will bear upon it
til" stamp or your character. You
^bouhl ever keep your hearts filled
with tffe sweet Kunshlno of love—love
of humanity, love of home and love
or God. Be good, sweet maid, and let
who will, be clever. Do noble things,
not dream them all day long, and so
make life, death and (he vast forever
one grand, sweet song.'"

FOUR TO HANG
IN TENNESSEE
Sheriff Has a Big Job on Hi
Hands.
Jackson, Tenn„ May 27.—Unless
Gov. John I. Cox Intervenes, Sheriff
Monteverde of Shelby county, will
have four men to hang on July IS.
Three more men had their cases af-
firmed in the supreme court to-day,
ind the date for their execution was
fixed. Last week the court named
July IS as the date for the hanging
of Toots Taylor, and to-day James
Norileet, Major Milils nnd A. M. Miles
were sentenced to die on that day.
All three of tho men given the ex-
treme penally of the law to-day, nre
negroes, nnd all three have been con-
victed or wife murder. It Is regarded
as one of tlie strangest coinlcidences
the court has dealt with In many
years.
It was expected that tho court would
decide other murder cases in which the
defendants are under the death sen-
tence. but all except the three referred
to went over until next week.
The splendid work of the criminal
court at Memphis and or tho officials
with It, In their methods of dealing
with murder cases, was the subject of
much favorable comment here to-day.
Philadelphia, May 27.—Philadelphia
has won her fight against the United
Gas Improvement company. The i->ro-
posed extension of the lease of tho Mu-
nicipal Gas plant to the United Gas
Improvement company la dead—killed
by the promoters of the "steal," the
gas company officials. The present
lease will not be changed In any form
at this time and probably no attempt
will be made to reopen the question of
extending the lease until after another
municipal election, when the proposi-
tion will probably be put right up to
the voters.
But while Philadelphia has won, and
tho economic question of gas manage-
ment Is settled, it Is extremely doubt-
ful whether the political victory of
Mayor Weaver, who led the citizens
who demanded tho killing of the ex-
tension, is as great as would appear
to be the case at first glance. To-night
the mayor Is hailed as a victor and Is
the popular hero of the city. Whether
the victory may not In the end prove
costly to the mayor In Ills political as-
pirations, Is a question.
Some of the politicians are very
doubtful of the nature of the mayor's
success. These men take the stand
that In the end by defeating the gas
ordinance, the mayor will bring him-
self Into difficulties which may result
disastrously to himself.
But just at present the people gen-
erally are not worrying about such
matters and Indeed this subject they
have given no thought. They only
know that tho gas lease Is dead; that
is enough Joy for one day.
The death knell of the lease was
that hour President Dolan of the U.
G. I. made public a letter addressed to
the president of the select and common
councils, announcing that in view of
the public agitation ugalnst the lease,
of the price of gas from 11 to 80 cents
the council had amended the lease as
proposed, to provide for the reduction
sounded at 2 o'clock this afternoon. At
per thousand feet after a period of
twenty years. The company would not
consent under any circumstances to
accept such ordinance in ease it should
become a law.
It was a backdown, pure and sim-
ple, on the port of the U. G. I. It was
an acknowledgement of defeat on tho
part of Israel Durham's organization,
which has boasted I hat It would pass
the measure over the mayor's veto.
Without waiting to test their power
before the councils, the gas company
and the machine surrendered. During
the last two days the machine had
fifteen of the councllmen on whom they
relied to pass the measure over tho
veto, driven by the influence of popular
clamor, to pledge themselves to sup-
port the mayor.
With five desertions from the ranks
of their former supporters announced
this morning, the gang know the end
had come and it surrendered rather
than make the flght openly and lose.
The surrender of the machine had
been decided upon before all these an-
nouncements of pledges were made.
The outpouring of the people at the
mass meetings last night and the spon-
taneous uprising of the people who
called in committees numbering Into
the hundreds last night at the homes
of many of the councllmen, to demand
pledges against the lease, had shown
Durham and his advisers that the
people were aroused on tho question
of the leases as they were never be-
fore.
A conference of the ring was held
the first thing it: is morning In the of-
fice of Durham. The boss announced*
his determination to give up the fight.
Together with Senator McNlchol, Se-
lect Councilman Seger, Senator Scott,
Chairman Dehaven of the finance
committee of the councils, and A. S.
Shields, his legal adviser, Durham
went to the office of Senator Penrose.
There the plan to have the ordinance
withdrawn was fully ugreed to.
The politicians then filed over to the
office of the gas company, where they
were admitted to President Dolan's
room. The gas company directors were
summoned and there for two hours the
question was threshed out. At first
the directors were opposed to yielding.
Durham himself advised the move and
declared that the councllmen should
not be placed uselessly In the Embar-
rassing position In which the fight
over the lease found them. Dolan and
the other men gave up the fight then.
The letter to the councils, notifying
them that the company would never
accept the lease, was then written. At
2 o'clock it was given to the public.
The letter recites the story of the
passing of the gas lease- ordinance.
