father Brannan to Give Mission ni
Lampasas.
What is the difference between
Catholics and Protestants?
Rev. Father P. F. Brannan, the
eloquent and well known Texas
missionary, will explain this sub-
ject in a mission opening here on
Sunday evening, 7:30 o’clock,
April 14, at the Witcher opera
house, to last for at least one
week.
It is intended for the non-Cath-
olic, and also for the Catholics.
The Catholic religion is evidently
unknown and frequently misrep-
resented in her true teaching and
doctrine. Father Brannan proves'
by his broad and forceful expla-
nation. the dogmatical tenets,
quoting from the Bible, either
Protestant or Catholic, as one
chooses.
It will then be fmade known
why and how Catholics jjiling so
fast to their belief and practice.
A large attendance is expected
from the opening to the closing.
d-w Father V. Bouchard.
An item comes from San An-
tonio that preparations are bping
made for accommodation of a
large number of troops. Simul-
taneously comes a reassurance
from Washington that the Philip-
pine troops ordered to Texas are
just a “happen-so” and that
their coming has no significance
as the Mexican situation is in-
volved. The administration fail-
ed to take the public into its con-
fidence once before in the mobil-
ization of troops at San Antonio,
and it gave out that there was no
connection between Mexican af-
fairs and the sending of'the army
to the border. Later, the wise
men confessed that they had at-
tempted to deceive in the first
statement. With one misstate-
ment confessed, the public will be
its own judge of what the intents
are in the present movement.—

Why Cummins Rebelled.
Cummins was attorney for
John W. Gates in the formation
of the American Steel & Wire
Company, the combination which
opened the way for the organiza-
tion of the United States Steel
Corporation. He accompanied
Gates to New York to meet the
men who had agreed to finance
the enterprise and were to decide
upon the capitalization. The
meeting took place at a dinner
given by one of the bankers, and
all the details of the deal were
agreed upon around the dining
table. The properties to be con-
solidated had an estimated value
of 332,000,000. The capitaliza-
tion decided upon was 390,000,-
000. Cummins was astonished
and shocked. He saw how a few
men had decided to sell securi-
ties amounting to nearly
three timekthe value of the prop-
erty upon which they were based,
creating for themselves wealth
which had no actual foundation,
amounting to 358,000,000. The
guaranteed profits to the under-
writers was 36,000,000. It actu-
ally exceeded that figure. The
securities when issued were gob-
bled up by the public, giving
those who formed the combina-
tion more money than the entire
property was worth, yet leaving^
them in undisputed possesion of
the property.
From the standpoint of a pro-
fessional lawyer the whole thing
was a tremendous success. But
Cummins did not take to it. It
looked very much to him like a
criminal conspiracy against the
public. When his professional
prominence caused his selection
as attorney for the new consoli-
dation and showed him just what
was being done in | big business
for the tremendous profit of the
insiders, but to the tremendous
disadvantage of the public, he
rebelled against the whole sys-
tem.—Angus McSween in the
Metropolitan Magazine.
To Destroy Sugar Ants.
The small ants which are a
nuisance in the house can be got-
ten rid of according to Wiimon
Newell, State Etomologist at the
A. & M. College of Texas, by the
following method. Have the
druggist prepare a mixture as
follows. White arsenic (poison)
2-2 gram, cane sugar 20 grams,
water 100§6e. This will make
about three ounces of “ant poi-
son.” It is well to have the drug-
gist ttdd to it a little red confec-
tioner’s sugar so that its color
will give warning to its poison-
ous nature. A small dish of this
liquid should be placed under
tables, refrigerators, etc., where
the ants are in a habit of travel-
ing. They will eat of it greedily
for awhile and then desert the
neighborhood entirely. The so-
lution should be kept in a safe
place, away from children and
pets and the usual precautions
should be taken as in the hand-
ling and use of other poisons.—
A. & M. Press Bulletin. 1
The spring rains are here, and
with them will come rank vege-
tation, mosquitos, flies, etc., per-
veyors of all kinds of disease
germs. Suppose we keep these
things in mind and do every-
thing possible to ward off con-
tagious and infectious disease,
usually prevalent at this season
of the year. In other words^—
let’s keep our town clean, boil
your drinking water, screen the
water barrels against mosquitos
and the houses against flies, and
the chances are that you will
save the expense of a doctor’s
bill. Cleanliness is the first law
of nature, therefore we should
closely observe it.—Marble Falls
Messenger.
