the i einciiibranees of tho Colquitt ap- !
pointees in this city wer-* unusually beau-
tiful. it consisted of a magnificent gold
watch. i hain and < harm for himself and ■
then a large cabinet filled with solid
silver tableware, knives, forks and
spoon".
A committee went to the mansion this
morning and surprised his excellency and
wife, it was composed of S, Wallace
Inglish of the State Insurance Board,
John L. Worthwi of the Railroad Com-
mission, Adjt Gen. Henry Hutehings,
Private Secretary Tibault Bowman.
Judge O. C. Kit veil and ('apt. Louis von
IVigen of tlie Pardon Board. All of the
party expressed appreciation of the \
Governor and his help in the discharge j
of the public work. A feeling and fitting j
response was made. Governor and Mrs.
Colquitt were f|uite overcome by the evi-
dent a of regard.
The watch is a solid gold closed-face
23-jewclori Howard movement. It has
the Governor's monogram beautifully en-
graved on the outer case, with this in-
scription: "Presented to Governor «>, p.
Colquitt by bis appointees, Christmas,
Kll." The charm is also a work of ait.
It Is a design of tie State seal, which
is pretty in itself, with a diamond set-
ting. The State seal is made very
artistic when fashioned in jewels. Tho
| chain accompanying the watch is 2a
j massive solid gold affair.
j The occasion was made quite a love
j feast and will be long remembered by
i those who participator!. The enthusiasm
1 of the givers and the grateful acknowl-
edgements of the recipients made it a
! touching affair. After the moist -"'yes
were dried there was much merry-
making and all had a delightful morn

WILL NAME NEW ASSISTANT
Walter C. Woodward Will lietiro I'rom
Attorney General's Department.
The Kxpress Austin Huronn.
A 1ST IN. Tex.. Dec. L'H. Attorney Gen-
era! Lightfoot is scheduled to make an
appointment this week "f an assistant in
his department, as Walter C. Woodward
retires on the first of the year to re-
sume the practice of law in his old home
in Coleman. Mr. Lightfoot may make the
announcement within the next day or
two. though it is probable he will wait,
until ihe last minute l<» give the name
of his new appointee to the public.
Inasmuch as the courts have held that
tho Governor vetoed the appropriation for
the Attorney General's department for I he
second year, the new assistant, whoever he
proves to be. stands to tie without salary
from September 1 until in .January or
February, when the Legislature can make
an appropriation to pay hack salaries. But
this would not deter many who would
patriotically serve the State as an assist-
ant in thr> Attorney General's department.
The experience Is worth a great deal to
a lawyer, besides the opportunity to make
a reputation with the bench and bar of
I he Stale.
No speculation has been had as to the
probable successor of Mr. Woodward and
the names being considered hy Mr. Light-
foot have not leaked to the public.

NKW YORK, Dec. 2T» Andrew M-
Conel, magazine writer and lecturer, -vas
arrested at a reporter's desk in the
Times office tonight while, it is alleged,
ho was writing a confession of shooting
and wounding his divorced wife, Mrs.
.Marion I», MeConol, at Ocean Grove,
N .1. The shooting is alleged to have
ot i uried iate Saturday night. The paper
in the typewriter bore these words:
"I was forced to shoot tho woman who
was 111v wife. Absolute divorce was ob-
tained last spring. Not one word was 1
sairi regarding the divorce during the
night. 1 shot her. She had tried to villify
an innocent woman."
Beside i he typewriter the detective
tounri a paper upon which was written
in an almost illegible hand:
"Kvory person who has helped to build
mv work has been vilified by a worn m
who is either hopelessly insane or a de-
signing fiend. When | made discovery in
the electrical basis of life, which (three
illegible words) years later."
The doctective said McConel had ampli-
fied his alleged confession by declaring
lie shot his wife because "she was al-
ways making me believe I was insane.
She villi fieri me to different people and
has run my character down.''
McConel was locked up on a charge

orate in the Catholic and Episcopal
places of worship. There was much
charity given this Christmas and the
poor hereabouts suffered but little.
Tho rain is needed in the country and
it caused no inconvenience to tho mer-
chants, as the holiday trade Is over,
hence ;t was not so bad after all.
Because of the restrictions on fire-
works there was little tjrouble from that
source. The statutes forbid the shoot-
ing of cannon firecrackers and the city
ordinances prohibit any kind of fireworks
within certain limits. This tended to
materially reduce the explosions in tho
city proper.
The small boy was happy with his
small sounders and kept up a bom-
bardment most of tho day.
The Salvation Army gave its usual
dinner to the poor and made a distribu-
tion. The St. Vincent do Paul Society
also followed its annual Christmas pro-
gramme by dispensing charity in large
quantities, money, clothing and supplies
The distribution occurred at Seton In-
firmary. Many poor children were marie
glad and their hearts throbbed with un-
expected pleasure as a result of the
generosity of the people of this com-
munity.
It is understood that the amount of
private charity dofte in Austin this
Christmas is larger than usual. It all
brought happiness and good cheer at
Yuletide.
There was a prodigious amount of
oggnog made for the old soldiers at the
Confederate Home on this Christmas
morn. Nearly all of the old veterans,
and there are approximately 450 in the
home now, had the time-honored re-
freshment on Christinas morning. Ther*
were a very few who did not indulgo
even a little bit.
Later in the day the soldiers were
given a great dinner, with all of the
delicacies of the season on the table.
They enjoyed it hugely. Colonel Wynne
says they were like a lot of schoolboys.
Bountiful dinners were served to all
of the State's wards in this city. The
number of turkeys consumed in State
institutions today was very large, be-
sides oysters, fish, celery, ' and all the
choice table bits of the season. Even
the insane at the State Lunatic Asylum
feasted as they never have before.
There are 1525 unfortunates in that In-
stitution and they were given everything
good the market afforded.
Then there was the Deaf and Dumb
School, with four hundred odd boys an 1
girls to be fed and marie happy. They
got their fill and enjoyed the tin v to tho
utmost.
Over the State Blind Institute, where
over two hundred boys and girls are nt
school. Christmas revely ran high
and the table, groaned with the good
things, that soon disappeared.
And tlie thirty odd old women at the
Confederal*- Women's Home were made
happy bv the ministering of Miss Katie
Da flan, the superintendent, who saw
thai an excellent dinner was prepared
and served.
The one other State institution in this
vicinity was where the feast was en-
joyed to the very limit, and that was at
the school for the negro deaf, dumb and
blind, Those unfortunates were given
all they could eat and supplied with the
best that could be gotten It is safe to
give assurance that none of the State's
children or dependents suffered.

MANILA. Dec. 2i'».---The Mortis, who
several days ago retired t<» Buriajo Peak,
in the Island of .folo, which they had
fortified, capitulated today to the Ameri-

The Moros numbered Han, and defied an
ultimatum issued bv Brigadier General
Pershing, ordering the disarmament of
natives in the district. Their supplies
were cut off and thc> were surrounded
in their stronghold by American Infantry.
Finally they were forced to yield through
hunger, and marchcd out and laid down
their arms.
Prior to the surrender a desperate ban I
of twenty tried to force an outpost, but
were repulsed. Several Moros were
kllleri. but there were no American cas-

SURRENDER OF HIS FATHER \F-
FEtTS SON DEEPLY, WHO IS
EN ROUTE TO THIS CITY.
ST. Lo| IS. Mo., Hoc 25. Rodolffl
l»e>es, son of ({en. Bernardo Reyes, socmen
deeply affected tonight when informed bj
I lie Associated Press of Ills father's sur-
render.
The son is at a hotel here on his waj
to San Antonio. lie said unless he re
oelveri a message from the general lu
would not depart for Texas until tumor
row night.
"The Federal authorities in Texas art
enforcing the neutrality law as has novel
Lceurred within the history of the two
countries, and I may be arrested when
I get back to San Antonio," he was quoted
as saying. "I expect to go to Washing-
ton and talk over the matter with th*
authorities there.
"The pt.'pie of tho I'nited States do not
fully understand the conditions in Mex-
ico. Two years ago. when Diaz resigned
the presidencv of Mexico, he declared In:
wished to retire to private life. The peo-
ple of Mexico selected my father as Biriz'p
sueecssor as governor of Nueva Leon and
us a candidate to succeed Blaz as presi-
dent ol' the republi*.
"Then Diaz changed his mind and sain
he wished to be re-elected. In the last
days of l he struggle Diaz appealed to
my father for support. My father an-
swered from Paris that he would starl
for Mexico at once.
"When he arrived iu Havana lie was
detained on orders from Mariero. I visitt <i
my father in Tiavana and then returned to
Mexico to talk with He la Barra. the pro-
visional president, about my father's sup
pressit.n. In a few days orders were is-
sued permitting my father to return t<
Mexico. When he arrived Mariero offcrct,
him tie office of minister of war, which
he accepted, with the idea that M idem
was sincere, but. this belief was qtiickiy
dispelled by criticisms that soon appeared
In He newspapers which .Mariero had in-
spire d.
"Mariero had control of I lie army of Hip
repuhlh and a fair election was pi ,inly
impossible. My father lirori of being
| erst-cut ed, and two months ago I he revo-
luth n was started by my father's folhvv-
ers."
