Beaumont, Tex., Jan. 29.—A deal of

source, is now pending in New Orleans
and will be consummated or called off,

negotiations concern an effort made by

Cobush interests, to purchase the in-

the street car company left last night
to assist in the negotiations.
An important feature of the negoti-
ation to the proposal made by the St.
Louis people to Colonel I. D. Polk. In.
the event the New Orleans deal is car-
rted through, to consolidate the Beau-
mont Water company with the street
car company, and to put Mr. Polk at
the head ofthe consolidated interests

resolution provding that photographs

Cushman appears to be well aware of
the large part illustrations play in
making otherwise dull reading mat-
ter interesting- It might be inferred
that he has introduced this resolution
because he is himself a person whose
picture would make a fine showing
among those of members of the house
and senate, but the fact is that Mr.
Cushman is widely reputed to be “the
homeliest man in the house.” Possi-
bly this report does him injustice, and
it may be that one motive of his reso-
lution is to furnish ocular demonstra-
tion to the country thatother men in
congress have no better title than
himself to be deemed Apollos of phy-
sical perfection. The illustrated con-

objection to it that members would
be so constantly busy mailing it to
their constituents that the public busi-

Beaumont, Tex., Jan. 29.—Captain
W. C. Tyrrell, president of the Hey-
wood company, in speaking of the
present depression existing in the
market for Beaumont and Sour Lake
crude oil. says that he attributes this
depression solely to tlie discovery of
the Batson oil field and to the enor-
mous gushers developed there. The
depression was inevitable and was in
no sense due to the machnatio- of
the "trust," which, to the contrary,
was one of the best customers and
consumers of the Texas oil. If any-
thing the Standard, in Captain Tyr-
rell’s opinion, is a bull factor in the
market by taking such enormous
quantities of the oil.
•Oil in Beaumont is now worth
about 26 cents,” said he, and it is only
a case of history repeating itself. In
one year, when the Beaumont wells
were gushing, the Heywood No. a
actually produced 18,900.009 barrels. It
flowed almost without interruption for
a year. At that time, as everyone
knows, our oil was worth very little.
As long as the Batson wells continue
to gash as they do now, I see no e*

This portion of the .rfiroad, com-

view to securing the highest -possible

are to be used by the Central man-

The roadbed is to be improved ma-
terially. ao that it will be possible,
according to the experts of the Gen-
eral Electric company, to equal, and
even beat the speed record made at
Zossen, Germany, some months ago,
when one hundred and twenty miles
an hour was made.
It was declared that if a suitable
roadbed is provided it will be possible
to make a similar showing in this
country, and that the Central probably
would endeavor to maintain an ex-
ceedingly high rate of speed on its
lines in the vicinity of New York
city. At the test made gome months *
ago on the private tracks of the Gen-
eral 'Electric company, near her, it
was found to be easy to make a speed
of sixty-five miles an hour. A hard
roadbed will make it possible to bring
this up to double that figure, it is
stated by electrical experts.

The scene of “La Sorciere” is laid
in Toledo during the Inquisition, just
after the defeat of the Moors. The
story concerns the loves of Zoraya, a
Moorish maiden, whose father, a great
physician, has bequeathed her his for-
tune and his medical lore, and Don
Enrique, a Spanish captain.
Because of her knowledge of hyp-
notism, Zoraya is regarded as a sor-
ceress. She cures the young daughter
of the goverpor of Toledo of somnam-
bulism, only to learn that she is the
betrothed of Enrique. Enraged at the
perfidy of her lover, she rushes to
the palace just after the marriage and
throws the bride into hypnotic sleep.
Her arrest for sorcery follows, but
before it is accomplished Enrique kills
the emissary of Cardinal Ximines, and
both are dragged before the inquisi-
tors. Zoraya tries to shield her lover
by confessing the murder, but he re-
fuses the sacrifice, and they die of
poison in each other’s arms.
Bernhardt has just accepted an his-
torical play entitled "Varennes," deal-
Ing with the flight to Varennes of

great pain.
The suffering woman threw up the
carbolic acid on her, and she was se-
verely burned.
Dr. Mullennix, the physician attend-
ing the sufferer, stated to The Record

"Never put your name to a certi-
ficate of a piece of work, unless you
know it is worthy," said Senator
George F. Hoar, in an address to stu-
dents; "throw up your job first. Let
no employer’s command move you to

The city of Lowell was built on the
Merrimac river. Dams and canals
were constructed to converse the wa-
ter power. There was no competent
engineer for such work in America at
that time. A youmg Englishman nam-
ed Francis came over and was em-
ployed. He looked over the work al-
ready done. He learned that sixty
years before- there had been a great
flood in the valley. He went to the
directors of the company. 'Gentle-
men,' he said, ‘you must rebuild Low-
ell and the works.’
“ ‘We can't do that,’ was the ans-
wer: 'we have spent large sums and
must take a risk."
" ‘Then, gentlemen,’ said Francis,
‘here to my resignation.’
“The directors reconsidered, and re-
built under Francis’ direction. In a
year a flood came, and the town and
the works stood the test. Under the
former conditions they woul have
been swept off the face of the earth.
There is a lesson. Learn it”
