Prof. Willcox, in his
book, “The Pastor and His Flock,” de-
scribes conditions a century ago as fol-
lows: “There were no young Christians
in any considerable numbers. When a
young man joined the church of Dr. Ly-
man Beecher, in Litchfield, Conn., early
in the century, so strange an event
tonished all the western section of
state.”
Church Economist.
In 1800 only 7 per cent of the total popu^
lation of the United States were church
members, whereas today the ratio
per cent, the members increasing
364,000 to 29,000,000. Not only has
been this great gain in numbers, but
has also been a great increase in activity,
as indicated by the rise of foreign mis-
sions, the modern Sunday school, young
people’s societies, brotherhoods, Young
Men’s Christian Associations, and kindred
movements.
Investigations show, however, that the
large majority of young men, or 9,059,000
out of 14,250,000, are outside of church mem-
bership. Even after allowing a large mar-
gin for those who are not members but
attend religious services, at least occasion-
ally, it is safe to say
are wholly outside of
or direct influence.
It may be a comfort
is no new problem.

AMONG THE COURTSInquiry at the office of the clerk of the
court of civil appeals today developed
information that will not prove over joyful
to litigants and lawyers who desire
speedy adjudications.
The recent transfer of some 33 cases
from the docket of the court of this dis-
trict to the court at San Antonio was
almost offset by the filings of one month,
and that month the shortest of the year,
February, during which 30 cases were
filed. While the filings were heavy dur-
ing that month the number of cases dis-
posed of was not up to the average. That
is accounted for by the fact that many
eases of great magnitude and voluminous
record have recently been considered and
are being considered by the court. Nota-
ble among the big cases that required
much time in its decision is that of J. M.
Guffey Petroleum company vs. T. J.
Oliver, decided last Thursday and noted
in The Tribune the same day. In this
case there were nearly 600 pages of printed
brief and argument.
Up to and including the last day of
February the cases filed in the appellate
court have numbered on an average of
one a day. No one county is unusually
represented in the filings, which come
from all parts of the district. Harris
county, however, leads with seven cases.
In the present condition of the docket
a case filed now in the court of appeals
can not be reached for submission under
four months.
JURY FOR THE WEEK.
The following is the jury for this week
in the Fifty-sixth district court. The
case set for jury trial today was disposed
of on demurrer, that of the Galveston
Boring and Drilling company vs. Gus
Lewy, Judge R. G. Street in this case
giving a judgment for $2500 debt. Plain-
tiff will appeal:
Henry Reybaud, Geo. V. Wichlep, H.

A CHANGE IN FEDERAL OFFICIALS.
Mr. James. A. McEnery, who has been
in charge of the tenth special agency dis-
trict of the United States treasury de-
partment, with headquarters at Galves-
ton, for the last six years, has been as-
signed to duty as a special treasury a#ent
at Cincinnati, O., and departed for his
new post.
Mr. J. C. Cummings of New York city
is his successor and has arrived and taken
charge of the office.
The duties of special agent of the United
States treasury are to detect frauds on
the customs revenue, to examine collectors’
offices and to make any and all special
examinations assigned by the secretary
of the treasury. There are 28 in all in the
United States.
To a Tribune reporter Mr. Cummings,
the new incumbent, expressed himself this
afternoon as pleased with Galveston a,nd
those whom he met here.
“From a climatic standpoint, the change
is great indeed. A few days ago I was
indulging in sleigh rides, in heaviest
wraps, and now it is impossible to keep
cool.”
LAND CASE IN U. S. COURT.
The transcript of the record in case of
L. Ducros vs. Connecticut Mutual Invest-
ment Co. et al. has just been received in
the office of the clerk of the federal court,
from Brazoria county.
The defendant Connecticut Mutual Life
Investment Co. had the case removed to
the federal court on the ground of diver-
sity of citizenship.
The case involves the title to 930 acres
of land situated on-the east bank of Cedar
lake in Brazoria county.
The petition alleges that the defendant
claims title to the land in question through
a deed • alleged to have been made by
‘Wharton Bates.
The Middlesex Banking Co., named as
a co-defendant with the Connecticut Mu-
tual Investment Co., is’ also a foreign cor-
poration under the laws of Connecticut.
TAX SALES.
Quite a number of real estate men, at-
torneys and other interested parties at-
tended the sale of real estate for payment
of delinquent taxes at the west front of
the court house today.
The sale was conducted by Deputy Sher-
iff C. J. Allen.
The real estate sold’ today, according to
real estate men conversant with the situa-
tion, brought the highest prices obtained
at similar sales for years. ' c ■ •

Custom Among Indians, Who Pay Men
to Eat Big Meals.
One of the most striking customs of the
past that are preserved by the Indians of
today, says the Hygienic Gazette, is found
among the tribes on the Devil’s Lake res-
ervation in North Dakota. Supervisor
Wright, of the Indian service, gives the
following account of this peculiar prac-
tice:
“From time immemorial the Devil’s Lake
Sioux have adhered to an old custom in
regard to the treatment of a guest. Ac-
cording to their etiquette it is the bounden
duty of the host to supply his’ guest with
all ttig food he may desire, and as a rule,
the apportionment set before the visiting
Indian is much in excess of the capacity
of a single man.
“But by the same custom the guest
is obliged to eat all that is placed before
him, else he grossly insults his entertainer.
It was found that this practice would
work a hardship, but instead of dispensing
with the custom the Indian method of
reasoning was applied, and what is known
as the professional eater was brought to
the front.
“While the guest is supposed to eat all
that is placed before him, it serves the
same purpose if his neighbor assists in de-
vouring the bountiful repast, the main
object being to have the plate clean when
the meal is finished.
“It is not always practicable to depend,
upon a neighbor at table to assist in
getting away with a large dinner,.and in
order to insure the final consumption of
the allotted portion, visiting Indians call
upon these professional eaters, whose duty
it is to sit beside them through a meal
and eat what the guest leaves. The pro-
fessional eaters are never looked upon in
the light of guests, but more as traveling
companions with a particular duty to per-
form.
“These eaters receive from $1 to $2, and
even $3, for each meal where they assist.
It is stated by the agent at the Devil’s
Lake reservation that one of the profes-
sional eaters has been known to dispose
of 17 pounds of beef at a sitting. That
they are capable of eating an almost fab-
ulous amount I myself can testify.”
NIGHT ON THE YALU.
New York Sun.
The Japanese and Russian armies were
facing each other for the first time. With
daybreak would come, a decisive battle.
The stillness of night was suddenly shat-
tered by a post astounding -.series of
crashes, explosions and rumblings from
the Russian ^amp. The outburst threw
consternation among the Japanese. The
mikado’s field commander-leaped from his
quarters.
“Colonel,” he commanded his aide,
“have a squad of the best scouts sent out
at once to find out whence comes this
portentous ncise.”
“Ha, ha,” laughed a Russian prisoner,
and they asked him why.
“Why?” said he, “my erstwhile com-
panions are merely, answering roll call.”

NEW YORK MARKET.
By Associated Press.
New York, March 1.—The cotton market
opened steady at a decline of 6@25 points,
but in spite of cables warranting still low-
er prices it ruled fairly steady on small
estimates for today’s port receipts and for
tomorrow’s receipts at Houston.
At first there was little sign of bull sup-
port and the room showed a disposition to
take the short side for a turn on the the-
ory that a reaction would not be distaste-
ful to the bull leaders as bettering the
technical position of the market and mak-
ing attractive levels for fresh purchases.
This selling, combined with realizing,
brought about further slight declines after
some early irregularity, but towards the
end of the first hour the bull leaders be-
came more aggressive buyers and prices
readily responded, advancing to a little
over last night’s closing figures on active
positions.
