Thursday, t/une,8 1905.
In b page write-up headed “Texan Offi-
ce™ in the Uncle Sum’s Navy,” the Houh-
tou Poet coutaius the following regarding
two well known young men, one of Corpus
Christi and the other from 8au Diego: The
ciack uaval branch is the construction corps.
To this only the very brightest graduates
from Annapolis are assigued, and about two
from each class as a general rule reach it.
It is the duty of this corps to design and
construct the mighty warships. Its mem-
bwrs are compelled to keep thoroughly
‘ilireast of all progress iu ship and armament
construction and likewise to be possessed of
the initiative in a marked degree. It is to
this corps that the country is largely indebt
ed for its wonderful naval progress. Among
the scientists to constitute it is oue Texan,
iu the person of George C. Westervelt, of
Corpus Christi. He made a, remarkable re-
cord at Aunapolis and easily lauded iu this,
the most desirable branch in thn service.
He is at present stationed at the Bostou
navy yard, where all construction matters
come under his direct observation. While
he only graduated from Annapolis in 1903,
he has thus early received the stamp, the
due of oue possessed of remarkable ability.
He is as familiar with all matters pertaining
to the creation of the greatest ship in the
world as it is possible for mau to be. That
he is destiued to take the highest rank
among the American naval scientists is al-
ready evident. The second rankiug officer
ou the gunboat Scorpion, attached to the
great North Atlantic fleet, is Lieutenant
Johu McC. Luby, whose home is in San Die
go, Texas, his father being the well-known
attorney and Republican politician by that
name. Since entering the navy in 1890, all
manner of trying service has fallen to his
lot, and no other officer has proven more
efficient in the discharge of his duties.. He
was ever with the foremost command in the
Spanish war and smelt his share of hostile
powder in the severe bombardments. Near-
ly ten years of the fifteen he has been in the
naval service have been spent at sea, and
his knowledge of the harbors of the world
is exceeded by that of no officer of his rank
in the service.
Thbbb of the Russian cruisers have taken
refnge in Manilla Bay, and they may not be
permitted to emerge from there till the war
doses. The majority of the vessels that for*
merly carried the Russian flag will sail beneath
that of Japan in future. The present war has
been almoet as one-sided as that between the
United States and Spain.
The congressional convention at Conroe
laat week nominated Hon. John M. Moore, of
Austin county, on the 222d ballot, to succeed
the late Congressman Pinckney. Gillaspi. of
Houston, was within two votes of the nomina-
tion at one time. So near and yet so far.
THE 8PIN8TER8’ RETURN.
Despite the threatening weather Saturday
avening, a good audience greeted The 8pias-
ters’ Return at the K*. of P. hall, and to say
that the audience was delighted but feebly ex-
presses it.
The entertainment was given by the Rath-
bone Sisters, for the benefit of their Tern,
pie and some of the lames have made quite
a reputation for histrionic ability. Where all
did so well, it would be invidious to particular-
ize, suffice it to say that there was oue continu-
ous roar of laughter and applause from the ris-
ing of the curtain till it went dowu ou the last
act.
The entertainment netted quite a hand-
some sum for Sisters, though the exact amount
we did not learn, and the public hopes it will
not very loug before the ladies favor us with
another entertainment.
Tbk London Times says John Paul Jones,
the American naval hero whose grave was re-
cently found in a Paris cemetery, was a pirate.
But, then, it is quite easy to understand why
an Englishman should not like Jobu Paul
Jones. The English also spoke ot Gen. George
Washington and his companions as rebels at
one time. The great Christopher Columbus
has also been termed a pirate, but that did not
make him one.
Callaghan, of Sau Antonio, has been
without political pie so long that when he diet
get up to the couuter he is gormaudiziug.
Callaghan’s usurpatiou of power puts him
in the Roosevelt class.
Thk trouble m Chicago appears as far as
ever from a settlement. Iu fact, the strike ap-
pears to be spreading.
It is reported that the citizens of Milwau-
kee have to boil their drinkiug water.—Atlanta
Constitution.
We did not suppose the citizens of Mil-
waukee used dnnkiug water, but that they con-
fined themselves to Scbliti beer, “the beer that
made Milwaukee tamons.”
Tex fortunes of war have made Admiral
RojestveDsky a wounded captive, but he is re-
ceiving every attention from bis captors, the
Japanese Minister of War has sent him flowers
and a letter assuring him of his highest respect
and consideration, and it is probable that Ro-
jestvensky stands higher in the estimation of
the world now than he ever did before.
It is rather a singular coincidence that the
nominee selected to succeed the late Congress-
man Pinckney should bear the same given
name and initials as the lamented Pinckney.
El Sol, a Mexican paper published here,
in its issue of last week, speaking of the recent
fining of several citizens in the corporation
court because their outhouses were not iu a con-
dition to conform to the ordinance in such
cases made and provided, condemned the ac-
tion of the court, ou the ground that the citi-
zaufe were ignorant of the provisions of the or-
dinance, and argues that *.he parties should
have been notified to fix their outhouses before
they were prosecuted. One of the first princi-
ples of law is that ignorance of a statute is no
excuse for its violation. Besides, if the citi-
zens were ignorant of the ordinance it was no
one’s fault but their own. The ordinances
were published at the time of their adoption,
and our people should have posted themselves.
It is true they were published in the Sun a pa-
per that has since died, which had a very limit-
ed circulation, and which was even then strug-
gling in the throes of dissolution, but obscure
as the paper was, the people interested might
have found a copy. When a law is being vio-
lated it is no part of the officers’ duty to noti-
fy the violators that if they do not desist they
will be punished, and El Sol displays its igno-
rance by putting up such a talk.
At last accounts it eeems that Judge Camp
baa decided to interfere with Bryan Callaghan’s
plans to become Emperor of Sen Antonio.
