of its most loved and honored resi-
dents. Since her experience of Texas
■history and Texas affairs dated back
to the days of the Reptblie, Mrs. Ray-
mond’s career may almost be said to
have mirrored the annals of both Re-
public and State. Her husband was a
high official of both the Texas Re-
public and the State—having been the
last treasurer of the Republic and the
first of the State—so that she was
really close to the personalities and
events that made the history of the
time.
She was an observant. highly" in-
telligent woman of much goodness of
heart, and as she kept a remarkab!y
clear mind and retentive memory to
the last, those who were privileged to
converse with her found her more in-
teresting. Her reminiscences of the
figures of another day—Sam Houston.
Albert Sidney Johnston, and most of
the men high in official life two gen-
erations ago—were as fresh and en-
gaging as if the occurrences dated no
further back than yesterday.
Margaret Johnston, who afterward
became Mrs. Raymond, wks born near
Cleveland, Ohio, July 11, 1824. Her
parents died Ln her childhood and she
camo to Texas with a brother. In
Old Washington, where the capital wis
temporarily located, she met and was
married to James H. Raymond in 1843.
Her funeral Thursday will take plac
cn the 74th anniversary of her mar-
riage.
The couple soon removed to Aus-
tin, where the capital was re-estab-
lished. and witnessed the events which
led up to the annexation of Texas to

Clerk County Court, Travis County,
- - Texas.
About 450 men from Pflugerville. Ma-
nor, Hutto and Dessau appeared be-
fore the County Commissioners’ Court
this morning in the interest of good
road bonds now under consideration of
being issued. Those from Pflugerville
and Manor favored the acceptance of
bids for building the roads from Aus-
tin to Pflugerville and from Austin to
Manor. The delegates from Hutto and
Dessau opposed this route.
Provision was made some time ago
for the building of a gravel and tarvia
road from Austin to Pflugerville at a
coat of approximately $59,000, also a
road from Austin to Manor similar to
the other to cost something over $50,-
000. Today was the date set for going
over the bids offered by contractors
for building the roads, but there will
probably be a delay owing to the oppo-
sition.
The proposed roads from Austin to
Pflugerville and from Austin to Manor
were to be built by county funds, and
they were to be kept tarviated for five
years. Each of these roads would be
about ten miles long.
The Commissioners’ Court adjourned
at 19 o’clock until 2 o’clock this after-
noon, when further questions will be
brought up.
The high school literary and debat-
ing clubs will begin Friday a series

each of the five boys’ clubs being rep-
resented in each of the boys’ contests
and each of the five girls’ clubs in the
other.
In athletics. Coach R. L. Snyder has
about thirty candidates for track hon-
ors. Elimination contests between the
junior and senior schools will be held,
and the several ward schools will hold
junior meets to determine their dis-
trict representatives. Finals for the
citv will be held probably the first
week in April. The High School will
be represented this year in indoor
baseball. *

Thursday, Austin people will find that
the building at the northwest corner
of Congress and Seventh has been
transformed into one of th© handsom-
est and best appointed amusement
houses in the city. Having already
gained a good impression of it from
its white stuccoed exterior walls and
white marble and tile entrance, the
visitor will be no less pleased with
ths interior. It is both roomy and ar-
tistic in treatment.
1 he ceiling is high, the walls are
given a paneled effect by large pilast-
ers at intervals of several feet, and
between the light green pilasters the
heavy paper, in variegated but subdued
tints, makes a very pleasing effect.
There are opera chairs for about 600.
400 of them on the main floor and 200
in the balcony. J. J. Hegman, the
lessee and manager, says that the
curtain is the most modern thing of
its kind in the State. A fine pipe
organ has been installed and is an
ornament. to the front part of the
theatre.
This treat re will be an exclusive
feature photoplay house, running the
high class output of ths best film pro-
ducers. Theer will be no vaudeville.
The initial program will be Anita Ste-
wart in “A Girl Philippa,” a Vitagraph
play in eight parts. Prices will be 20
cents for the main floor. 10 cents in
the balcony, children 5 cents anywhere ’
in the house.
Mr. Hegman has a theatre in Tem-
ple run on similar lines to this, and

WASHINGTON, March 7—Prospectg-
of an extra session of Congress soon
seemed strong today. Members of
Congress generally now look for an
extra session to be called to meet not
later than June as a result of hints
said to have been thrown out by offi-
cials close to President Wilson.
Aside from action on the armed ship
bill, the need of an extra session to
pass the big supply measures, which
failed at the last session, is regarded
by officials as imperative. Nearly all
the executive departments of the Gov-
ernment Will suffer, particularly ths
army's defense plans, unless Congress
supplies the necessary, funds.
In addition there are other measures
that the administration regards as al-
most imperative which failed to pass.
They inelude amendments to the ship-
ping and Federal reserve laws, amend,
ments to strengthen the Adamson law,
conservation, foreign selling combina-
tions and enlargement of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The President himself has not defi-
nitely indicated whether he has given
up hee that an extra session will be
avoided, but many Senators insist he
will call Congress together as soon as
he decides he lacks authority to arm
merchant ships.

over nineteen years ago. -
The Raymonds dispensed hospitality
in the old Southern style, it being the
common thing to have a house full of
congenial guests: . For some time .the
military post, now Fort Sam Houston,
was located near the Raymond home,
and th© young people of the post and
city found an ideal meeting place at the
Raymond mansion. In later years Mri
Raymond’s home was the center and
meeting place for her relatives and
many old-time friends.
Mrs. Raymond had no children but
.reared the two children of a sister,
Mrs. Johnson.
Eight years ago she sustained a fall
which -dislocated her hip, but net with-
standing this disability, which confined
her to. her chair the greater part of the
time, her friends declare she never lost
patience but was always cheerful and
sweet-spirited. She enjoyed good health
always, even during the last years of
her life, taking ill only a week before
her death.
A number of nieces, nephews and
other relatives survive. These include
Miss Mollie Johnson and Mrs. W. 8.
