lined and assigned was carried out ex-
cept a few general papers and dlscus-

member. No teacher came unprepared,
but in most cases had been studying
for weeks in advance. Having put
much into the institute, the teachers
naturally got much out of it.
“By far the most important work of
the Institute was the construction of
the course of study. Each grad and
each subject was thoroughly diseased
in the light of the teachers' experience.
This work was an eye-opener to the

can not be overestimated.

"The general attitude of the Institute
was enthusiastic and enterprising, and
the heerfulness with which tho
teachers sacrificed comfort for work
was a most positive evidence of the

tarly and with punctuality. There were
not more than five tardy marks and
only three cases of absence, and those
occurred on account of sickness or
the specific object of making It so
profitable for lines to make such re-
pairs to foreign cars that each line
would not only undertake such repairs,
but would endeavor to avoid foreign
bills on- its own equipment by main-
taining its own equipment in such con-

recent Increase in the per diem rate
has, however, nullified the effects of
this provision and, as stdted, the result
claimed by tho speakers mentioned is
a tendency the reverse of an Improve-

owners defect brake repairs, or some

London,' Sept. 21— Walter Burns, J.
Pierpont Morgan’s nephew, has just
been inspecting the designs for theset
qulsite miniature palace he proposes to
build on the Riviera for his bride. I
am told he has not quite mode up his
mind about the site, but is considering
one near Monte Carlo. He intends that
it shall be the most, perfect house of
its size on the Mediterranean. It seems
as though he can never give enough to
his wife. This beautiful southern man-
sion is to become her personal property
when complete. His handsome London
'house he has already made over to her.
The lavishness of his gifts to Mrs.
Burns is suggestive ef the typical
American husband we see here on the
stage. Her wedding presents were a
revelation. He sent a great connois-
seur in furs to St. Petersburg to pro-
cure a set of sables identtcal with

Captain Wilson T. Davidson, who
died in Belton several days ago, was
one of the' pioneers of Texas, coming
bo the state in 1833 when but 2 years
old with a party of thirty stalwart set-
tlers frpin Illinois, in the party being
his father, Rbert Davidson, Jasper
Crouch, Captain Goldsby, the Childers
and the Parkers, George and Hernan
Chapman, Empson Thompson, Joe Fer-
guson, Ezekil Robinson, Joe Ferguson
and Mr. Rhodes.
His parents first settled in Burleson
county. His father was killed by the
Indians in 1836 and in 1845 th* family
moved to Austin, where he became a
printer and in 1852 he funned a part-
nership with Colonel Jphn 8. (Rip)
Ford and founded the Texas State
Tinies, which was published for three
years. Later he was connected with
John Marshall in Austin and then went
to San Antonio for a period. In 1856
he married Miss Caroline Smith, the
daughter of Harvey Smith, an honored
citizen of this county. In 1856 he set-
tled in Bell county on hl* fathers head-
right near the present town of Little
Hiver. Later he bought a large farm
on the Lampasas river near the Three
Forks/ In 1859 he became a deputy
United States marshal, and when the
war broke out he united his fortunes
with the Confederacy and fought
through that conflict. He served with
distinction as a member of the Seven-
teenth legislature in 1880. Since 1888
he has been a resident 9 the city of
Belton.
Captain Davidson was one of the
oldest Masons in Texas, having re-
ceived all the degrees of the lodge,
chapter an commandery at Austin in
the early fifties, and was a charter
member of Colorado Commandery No.
4 at Austin in 1886. Since his residence
it 'Bell county, covering a consecutive
period of fifty years, he has been a
regular participant in the lahors of the
craft and was a charter member of
Belton chapter and Belton' Com-
mandery, Knights Templar. No mem-
ber was more punctual in attendance
or more faithful in the discharge of
Masonic and knightly duties.
As a citizen he was a man of pro-
nounced convictions, uncompromising
for what he believed right and his in-
fluence was always on the side of good
morals, honest government and pure
administration.
His first wife died in 1870 and he
was married several years later to Miss
Alice Thacker, ft great granddaughter
of Daniel Boone of Kentucky. He raised
a large family of children who grew to
honorable manhood and womanhood.

It cost* >134 more to ship a carload
of lumber rom Seattle to Camden, .N.
J., a distance of 8148 miles, than it
does to ship a carload of automobiles
from Syracuse. N. Y.. to Beattie, a
distance of 3011 miles. The Seattle-
Camden haul 1* only 137 iles more
than the Syracuse-beat tie haul. The
carload of lumber does not involve as
great a risk as tho carload of auto-
mobiles. In case of a wreck the 'dam-
age to the automobiles would in all
probability be very great. K the cargo
of lumber were wrecked, 96 per cent
of it could probably be saved.
This and many other interesting
facts involving the alleged dt*crlinl-
nation by the railroads against lum-
ber and shingles have been brought
to light by the information bureau of
the lumbermen, and hero are some of
them:
The distance from Cleveland, Ohio,
to brattle is 2683 miles; from Beattie
to Mattoon. III., 2616 milts. It costs
1358.98 to ship a carload of pipe from
Cleveland to Heattle, and $404.15 to
ship a carload of shingles from Seattie
to Mattoon. The distance in favor of
the Beattie-Mattoon route is 123 miles,
but the freight charge on the ahingles
is >45.17 more. A carload of canned
corn may be shipped from Red Oaks,
Iowa, to Seattle for >98.54 less than it
costs to ship a carload at lumher from
deattte to Carttee, H. D. The lumber
haul is less by 190 miles. A merchant
