of football playing in America. They

troduced as a substitute.

The oldest umbrella in the continuous
service of one man in Kansas City is the
claim made by C. W. Wilson of No. 930
McGee street for the weather stick which
he has carried continuously since 1868.
“Two $10 gold pieces could not tempt me
to part with that umbrella,” said Mr.
Wilson, “for it is certainly a relic. I have
never lent it, but have lost it dozens of
times. But I kept my eyes peeled and
always regained the old umbrella. It has
been recovered many times, but the ribs
are the same that were put in it 37 years
ago. It has the same stick, too, and it is
made of maple. I dropped it, breaking
part of the ivory handle, three years ago,
and had a piece of gold attached to re-
place the part broken off.
“In 1868 thirty-eight members of the
Pawnee Library association of Philadel-
phia bought umbrellas like this for $5
apiece, the wholesale factory price. No-
tice that it has eight ribs. Umbrellas
nowadays have seven. The Paw’nee club
marched in the Garfield inauguration pa-
rade of 1881. I carried this umbrella then.
If there is another one that has been car-
ried continuously by one man since 1868
I’ll wager it belongs to another member
of the old Pawnee club of Philadelphia.

Justice of the Peace Sidney T. Fon-
taine was not at all pleased with the
statement of County Auditor Murch at the
meeting of the county commissioners’
court yesterday afternoon, relative th the
holding of inquests. To a Tribune repre-
resentative Judge Fontaine said that
Auditor Murch got away beyond his limit
and is evidently not posted on the law
as regards the holding of inquests.
“The statement of Auditor Murch uses
this language,” said the judge: “ ‘As you
are aware these claims are presented
with monthly regularity.’ How «lse could
they be presented for the commissioners’
court to act upon them. ‘And principally
for deaths occurring from well-known
accidental causes, stillborn infants and
other causes, all without the slightest
criminal connection.’

Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 12.—Capt. Samuel

ator and well known horseman, died yes-

this city. Capt. Brown’s death had been
expected for several weeks and was due
to stomach trouble, from which he had
suffered for some years.

The theft of a plant is often reported,
but the robbery of an entire bed of plants
is somewhat new. Mrs. Waters S. Davis,
jr., had on the east side of her residence
a fern bed consisting of some 50 varieties
of ferns. Monday morning the bed was
destitute of even skjoot. The plants had
been stolen Sunday night and in this
wholesale manner were lifted from their
beds, earth, roots and all carefully dug
up. The bed, situated in a sheltered cor-
ner of the garden, was in a most flourish-
ing condition and was the source of much
pride to the owner, who now feels that
one plant might have been left her as u
souvenir.
REAR ADMIRAL LILLIE.
By Associated Press.
New York, N. Y., Dec. 12.—Rear
mlral Abraham Hasbrouck Lillie, U. S.
N.. retired, died at his home here yester-
day. He was born in this city and having
been graduated from the naval academy
was assigned to the North Atlantic sta-
tion, where he served until 1867. He was.
promoted to captain March 3, 1901, and
served as commandant of the United
States naval station at Key West until
1902. On March 8, 1903, he was retired
with the rank of rear admiral.
The Thirty-Third Degree Conferred Upon
Several Scottish Rites.
The ceremonies of conferring the 33d
degree upon the Scottish Rite brethren
of Texas recently elected by the supreme
council to that degree took place at the
Scottish Rite cathedral last night. The
degree work was commenced at 7.30 and
ended at 10 o’clock. The ceremonies were
conducted by Brother A. B. Chamberlin
of Washington, D. C., sovereign inspector
general of Texas, assisted by J. J. Davis,
deputy, and other distinguished 33d de-
gree Masons of Texas.
The degree was conferred upon the fol-
lowing gentlemen: E. W. S. Neff of El
Paso, R. H. Charles Hammond of Trinity,
Edward McCauley Plartrick of Galveston
and William Hugh McCullough of Hous-
ton.
The 33d degree Masons present at the
ceremonies were: Dr. Saunders of Orange,
E. C. Pew of El Paso, H. L. Carleton of
Austin, Charles Kahn of Dallas, Charles
G. Glifford, Frank Miller, C. W. Gill,
Charles R. Brown, J. J. Davis, E.w C.
Pitkin, William Scrimgeour, Frank B.
'Hudson, Fred M. Gilbough, all of the Gal-
veston commandery. It will be observed
that the visiting sir knights hail from
all sections of Texas. Dr Saunders is
frcm East Texas, E. C. Pew from the ex-
treme West Texas, H. L. Carleton repre-
sents Middle Texas, while Charles Kahn
represents North Texas.
For the occasion there were a number
of 32d degree Masons present, among
them being the following: F. I. Booth
of Booth, Frank Jones of Houston, Andral
Vann of Houston, F. G. Edmiston of
Crockett, G. A. Gibbons of Houston, D.
W. Kidd of Beaumont, Phillip Haag of
Houston, Thomas Waties of Carmona,
John Bonner of Houston and Charles L.
Wallis of Beaumont. Of these the fol-
lowing are 32d degree K. C. C. H.: D.
W. Kidd, F. I Booth and G. A. Gibbons.
Following the ceremonies a banquet was
served in honor of the visiting knights
in the banquet hall on the first floor of
the cathedral. The banquet table, in
charge of the ladies of the Eastern Star,
was arranged in the form of a double
cross, the signia of the 33d degree. Potted
plants and streamers of red crepe paper
carried from the pillars to the tables
were the decorations.
While waiting for the close of the cere-
monies the Shriners’ Orchestra, directed
by Mr. Conway Shaw, rendered several
selections, among them being the “Bridal
March,” and overture, a like rendition of
which would have done credit to an ag-
gregation of professional musicians.

Two Women Who Have Been Frequent
Visitors to Galveston Stores Recently.
It is reported that two very stylishly-
dressed women are engaged in shoplifting
in the Galveston stores and are conduct- -
ing a successful campaign. It is said
these women, who sometimes travel to-
gether and sometimes divide their labors,
do not attract unusual attention but are
evidently well {trained in (the (art of
catching on to things not their own, which
affliction is sometimes termed klepto-
mania. Just how much their depreda-
tions have netted them can not be learned
if it is known. It may be great or it
may be small, butthings have been
missed from some of the stores and in
several instances the disappearance of
the goods have been credited to the slip-
pery hands of the two women who have
attracted some attention and no little
suspicion.
It seems, however, that there is not
enough evidence to warrant the arrest of
the women or, in other words, they have
not been caught in the act and for that
reason have not been detained. It is
charged that on more than one occasion
articles have been missed from depart-
ments where these women had been seen
shortly before, apparntly deeply engrossed
“looking” at goods displayed on the coun-
ter. They are described as most energetic
shoppers but their purchasers are very
few. It may be that the mysterious
couple have finished their labors, or,
having aroused suspicion, have left for
the interior. For the past two days they
have not been seen and if they are still
in town it may be that they will be in-
vited to explain matters to the police.

Washington D. C., Dec. 12.—Minor
Meriwether, jr., who was tried by court-
martial for causing the death of Mid-
shipman Branch, has been sentenced to
confinement to the limits of the naval
academy for a period of one year and to
be publicly reprimanded by the secretary
of the navy.
Secretary Bonaparte has ordered that
the sentence be carried out, but that so
much penalty as would d.ebar the accused
from serving on any practice snip at-
tached to the academy be remitted. The
full text of the findings will be made pub-
lic later.
Representative Broussard of Louisiana,
who had a conference -with the secretary
this morning regarding the case, after
reading the findings announ,ced that he
was entirely satisfied with them.
Midshipman Meriwether was acquitted
of the charge of manslaughter ■ and was
found guilty of the other two charges,
namely: Violation of the third clause of
the eighth article for the government of
the navy, which prohibits midshipmen
from engaging in fisticuffs, and conduct
to the prejudice of good order and
cipline.

2220 Market StraaL
By Associated Press.
New York, N. Y., Dec. 12.—The cotton
market opened at a decline of 8 to 14
points and sold generally 10 to 14 points
net lower during the first few minutes
under continued bear pressure. There was
a renewal of bull support and prices
steadied up toward the middle and ruled
about 3 to 4 points net low-er. Trading
was fairly active.
“These
the part of the learned auditor, and, in
fact, are not borne out in truth,
is the object of holding an inquest?
it not to discover if there has been any
crime committed, and hence .it is abso-
lutely necessary to have a death certifi-
cate from a physician or coroner before
a human body can be buried. The in-
terment of human remains, even a still-
born child, without a death certificate
from a licensed attending physician or a
coroner is forbidden by law under severe
penalties. Now, according to the auditor,
death certificates are not necessary ex-
cept to discover crime.
“The auditor also says: ‘As I under-
stand it the contemplation of the law on
inquests is the ascertaining by a coroner
if there is any criminality in connection
with the death of any person by violent
means or otherwise under suspicious cir-
cumstances,’ and he quotes the statute
as he understands it to support his theory.
“Then again he makes an attack upon
me in the Birkmeyer case, when I viewed
the body and it was taken to Houston,
and I continued to examine into the cause
of death. He no doubt in his wisdom ex-
pected the coroner to ‘sit on the body’
and not let it go out of his sight until
the examination was over. This inquest
was held regularly and in accordance,
with law and the fee was earned.
“Now, in regard to the Louis Lopez
inquest. The health office reports the
death certificate issued by me Nov. 24,
1905, the certificate of burial Nov. 24, 1905,
by James Daley, sexton..
“Now, the law expressly ordains that
where a death occurs a physician or
coroner must issue a certificate before the
body can be interred. Now. if there is
no doctor in attendance no certificate can
be issued by a doctor and an inquest
must be held. The fee in all inquests is
well earned by the coroner and in many
cases it is worth ten times the amount
allowed to conduct an inquest.”
