AI STIN, June 10.—The annual com-
mencement sermon of the -University of
T< xas was delivered today before a large
and representative audience, gathered
from nil parts of the State. The speaker
was the Rev. Dr. Charles R. Hemphill
of the Southern Theological Seminary at
Louisville, Ky. The sermon was able
and scholarly, and made a profound im-
pression upon the large congregation
gathered to hear it. The music was an
excellent feature, and was admirably
rendered.
Dr. Hemphill's text was found in the
Gospel by St. John, 18th chapter and 38th
verse, "Pilate saith unto him, what is
truth?" then in chapter 10, verse 5,
"Pilate .saith unto them, behold the
man."
Jesting, Pilate asked, "What is the
truth,' and turned away waiting not for
an answer. But troubled Pilate uncon-
sciously answered his own question when
he brought forth Jesus wearing the
crown of thorns and purple robes, and
said to the multitude "Behold the man."
1 propose to show that in beholding
Jesus we discover the truth of most con-
sequence for us to know: First, the truth
concerning God. in the time of Pilate,
after a long search after God skepticism
was widely prevalent and the most culti-
vated and philosophic nation, the Greeks,
had erected in the capital of culture un
altar to the unknown God. The world
by wisdom knew not God. Jesus came
to bring home to men the reality of the
existence of God. He not only delivered
the teaching concerning God. but he in-
carnated God in himself. The word was
God. And He dwelt among men. The
idea God conveyed in the teaching of
Jesus and in his personality is no mere
necessity of human thought nor abstrac-
tion of human speculation, but His is
a warm, genial, winning idea of a great
companion and friend and helper.
This idea of the Divine Being has
never been surpassed nor can it ever be
surpassed, and we may be sure that man
will not willingly let it pass from their
faith. Temporary eclipses of this idea
of God may come to the individual or to
a generation, but when men in despair-
ing are asking "What is truth;" when
men are crying out "My soul thirsteth
for the living God." "Oh! that 1 knew
where 1 might find Him!" they will look
again upon Jesus and discover afresh in
him the revelation of God that satisfies
their need and certifies to it as true
to their deepest consciousness.
In beholding Jesus we see the truth
concerning man.
(a) We discover the true nature and
dignity of man. . It is not simply as a
patient sufferer crowned with thorns
and mocked with purple robes that we
behold Jesus, but as the one perfect
man wiio passed "these sinless years be-
neath the Syrian blue." "1 find no
fault in this man," said Pilate. So say
we all. Jesus entered most deeply into
the experience of men and he was tried
in all points like as we are. Hut one
experience common to all mankind was
never His. He had no consciousness of
sin. He was holy, harmless, undefiled.
And this sinless consciousness of his ex-
pressing itself hi word and deed has
been attested by the verdict of history.
Subjected as he has been to centuries of
study, and exhaustive critical investiga-
tion of his moral and spiritual character,
remains today one singular and umblem-
ished character among men.
(b> The deflection of man from the
true ideal. In beholding Jesus we come
to an appreciation of how far short we
are of being what we ought to be. In
the flashing of Sinai's lightnings the
depths of man's iniquities are lit up to
his terrified gaze. In the blazing holi-
ness the throne is smitten with shame
in the discovery of his sin. But it is m
Jesus that we have the deeper and
steadier revealings of our sinful nature.
It is in the discovery of tlie holiness of
Jesus that Peter discovers his own sin,
and there is pressed out of his heart the
strange prayer "Depart from me for I
am a sinful man." A painter enables us
to appreciate the height of the pyramids
by placing at its foot the figure of a
man, and it is in comparing ourselves
with Jesus that we learn at once his
greatness of moral character and our
litt leness.
(e) Source of inspiration for character.
The sight of Jesus while it humbles yet
wonderfully and exhausts. Its singular
effect in the contemplation of the per-
fect character of Jesus that while it
presents an ideal impossible in this life
of attainment, and while it brings home
to us the distance between us and Him,
i' yet doe- not depress nor dishearten.
In all walks of life men are incited to
high endeavor by shining examples. This
is true in the realm of faith and moral
striving as in the vocations of life. Jesus
is offered to us not only as an incident
of what man may be but what every
man may hope to become. To stand in
His presence is to have an impulse and
a. wish toward something higher and
better.

IMPORTANT ORGANIZATION.
Texas Corn Growers' Association to
Meet in July at College Station.
Editor Express: Nearly all the large
corn-growing States have corn growers'
and corn breeders' or corn improvers'
associations. They have done much good.
In Illinois, I am assured that the good
work they have done has resulted in a
general increase of between five and six
bushels per acre. Good reports of the
work of such associations come from
other States.
I want to again remind our farmers
that Texas now has a Corn Growers'
Association, and those in charge are
using all practicable efforts to make our
association as useful as possible. Some
good results are already assured. At the
suggestion of the committee on exhibits
and premiums, the San Antonio Interna-
tional Fair and the Dallas State Fair
will give ten times as much for pre-
miums on corn as heretofore. Each fair
will offer $160 in premiums cor corn
alone. This will make it worth while
for farmers to make exhibits of corn.
The State lias been divided into three
divisions, so that all sections have ad
equal chance at the premiums. I would
advise all persons who contemplate mak-
ing an exhibit of corn at either of the
fairs to send for the premium lists. It
shows much information that dan not
here be repeated.
Texas has never made a "showing" of
corn that was fair to herself, but now.
with such liberal premiums, I am sure
that there will be some eye-opener dis-
plays this fall. The program for our
next meeting at College Station, July 10,
11 and 12, is now being prepared and will
soon be given to the press. There will
be some valuable reports — something
with more than ordinary value—from the
several standing committees. These com-
mittees have some

"I think Gus Mauermann nimlit to re-
sign as City Marshal," said s.Ivh Hr>i-
•mann, member of the Police and Fire
Commission, yesterday. "The board has
made a ruling that policemen und fire-
men must stay out of politics, and in
this case I think the rule is applicable
to the Chief of Police.
"I do not see how a man can run for
Sheriff and keep out of politics. A can-
didate must certainly try to do sonn-
work in his own interests, and that is
taking an active part in politics."
This is the opinion of Mr. Heimann,
which, he says, is In accordance with
the ruling of the Commission, made re-
cently, in regard to placing the Police
and Fire departments on a civil service
basis, lie believes it is a bad example
for the Chief of Police to se t fur the
men under him.
The Committee
Was in Earnest.
''I want to say," said Mr. Heimann,
that the Commission meant every word
?£ or^er' and it is the intention of
the board to enforce it. If evidence is
brought to tile members of tint Commis-
sion that any members of the police
force or Fire Department are taking part
in politics, the members will be called
before the board, and if the evidence
shows they have violated the order thev
will be dismissed."
( hief of Police Mauermann'h announce-
ment as a candidate for Sheriff has
caused some cxcitement about the City
Hall It has been questioned whether
the Commission would go so far as to
make an attempt to remove the City
Marshal for violating tile civil service
order.
Mayor Callaghan will stand by Mauer-
mann, am' it Is declared will be one of
his strongest supporters. Chief Mauer-
mann and Mayor Callaghan had a long
conference just before Mauermann's an-
nouncement. There i.s some question
among the Councilmen whether the Po-
lice and Fire Commission would have
a right to dismiss Mr. Mauermann as
Chief of Police. The indications are,
however, that his resignation will he
asked for by the board. This contin-
gency has been expected by the Mayor
who has intimated that he will "stand
pat."

COLLEGE STATION, Tex., June 10.—
Bishop H. C. Morrison of New Orleany,
this morning preached an impressive
baccalaureate sermon to the largest
graduating class in the thirty-years' life
of the A. & M. College of Texas. He took
tor his subject "The Man in Demand,"
founding his remarks on the passage of
Scripture wherein a strong brass bound
pillar is described, the top of which is
carved. He compared this pillar to the
ideal human life, such a life be declared,
should be housed in a strong, clean and
healthy body crowned with a mind and
spirit disciplined until their activities arc
in harmony with God's will.
The entire sermon was an earnest plea
for Christian living in reality and not
the shallow pretense, common in the
churches.
The morning service was under the
immediate direction of the college chap-
lain. Hon. T. S. Henderson, chairman of
the board of regents of the University of

They will, as a result of their personal
inspection, institute much needed re-
forms.
Cattle are coming here from distant
points, often by rail from Chihuahua,
tour days' journey, by freight trains,
without being fed, and are killed when
in that condition. Sometimes even five
days "lapse before the wretched animals i
are fed, and then are killed In that con- j
dition of suffering. The governor of tlie
Federal District is determined to effect I
a reform in these matters.
Work will soon begin on the new rail- ,
vay terminals at Vera Cruz, which will
be the linest terminals in the country j
and make transfer of goods and pas- '
sengers from steamers to railways and \
vice versa easy and economical. The cost
of the terminals is estimated at JMOO.OOO
geld.
A large custom house will be built on
the railway pier with tracks connecting
with the railway yards. The new ter-
minals will be used by four railways.

John J. Adams, who has been selling
American hats in Mexico for the past ten
years, said yesterday that he is going to
sell Mexican hats to the Americans. He
also said: "I think there is more money
in the hats 1 am taking with me to the
States than there is in the hats I brought
down here, as the fashion in the States
for wearing the broad-brimmed Mexican
hat is quite a fad, and the fad is not
contined to the. fashionables only. The
farmers In the South are beginning to
wear them at work in the fields. Ladies
also use them when they ride horsezack
and for golfing." Mr. Adams said he
was going from here to San Antonio.
Material for the construction of the
National's belt line from San Lazaro to
Indianilla has been delivered to this
company in this city. The rails and
ties are now being distributed along the
company's right of way. A large force

tension. The construction of the line
will cost very little, the main cost being
the purchase of right of way. In four
months the work will be completed and
the line in operation.

The street railway line to the Fair
Ground may be double tracked, notwith-
standing the arrangement with the San
Antonio & Aransas Pass Railway to
transfer the passengers from the depot
of that road to the Fair Ground. H. M.
Littell, general manager of the Traction
Company, is now considering a proposi-
tion from the board of directors of the
fair association which may lead to double
tracking the Hot Wells line.
The ooard of directors believes the
attendance at the fair would be nearly
doubled if a means of transportation,
more adequate than that afforded by
the round-about-way over the "Sap," can
be given. As this would necessarily in-
crease the gate receipts the board of
directors propose to pay to the Traction
Company a bonus sufficient to pay in-
terest on the amount of capital neces-
sary to build the line.
Mr. Littell has been asked to furnish
an estimate of the probable cost of the
construction. The cost has been roughly
estimated at $60,000. If building the line
would result in 50,000 more persons at-
tending the fair, it is argued, the Fair
Association could well afford to lend as-
sistance in building the double track.
The increased attendance of 50,000 per-
sons would mean $35,750 additional Kate
rece'pts and the Fair Association feels it
would be able to pay to the Traction
Company £{.500 or $5,000, or some such
sum. to pay interest on the investment.
feilva Heimann, a member of the board
of directors of the association, has nrQ-
pared this proposition and will be able
to give it more in detail as soon as tho
estimate is furnished by Mr. Littell.

DALLAS, Tex.. June 10.—State Chair-
man Cecil A. Lyon and a number of
members of the Republican Executive
Committee of Texas are in Dallas to-
night preparatory to holding a committee
meeting: tomorrow to name a place for
holding the State Republican convention
on the second Tuesday in August next.
The committee at San Antonio, May 11.
selected El Paso as the place, but in
view of the injunction proceedings
brought in the courts by W. M. McDon-
ald (negro) and other members of the
anti-Lyon faction of the party, the
meeting called for tomorrow is a pre-
cautionary one. to overcome any tech-
nical error that may possibly have been
made at the San Antonio meeting. It is
almost certain the action taken there
will be ratified in Dallas tomorrow, and
the State convention be ordered held at
El Paso, as originally called. El Paso
has a delegation here tonight. The Mc-
Donald faction is threatening to call a
State convention at Mineral Wells and
put out a second Republican ticket.
Chairman Lyon said tonight: "If this
is done the convention will have to se-
lect a new name for its ticket. Under
the State election law they can't use
the name Republican party; that belongs
to us."
Among those who are In Dallas with
Mr. Lyon tonight are'the 'lowing Stat«
committeemen: C. A. Sm of El Paso.
T. L. Wren of Austin. C v. Knight of
Nocona. J. J. Cypert of Hillsboro and
C. A. Dickson of Cleburne.
Accompanying Committeeman Smith
of El Paso are: C. B. Stevens and O. C.
Bosbyshell. who are here to pee that
their town does not lose the conven-
tion.
