ORDER HUNDRED THOUSAND
SATSUMA ORANGE TREES
This Fall There Will Be Not
Less Than 75,000 Acres De
voted to Orange Growing.
An item of importance to this sec- ।
♦ ion of th'e country, was the placing j
of an order Tuesday for 100,000 Satsu '
ma orange trees with the Al^ r n r>
aery. The order was the Al
lison-Richey Land of San
Antonio ayL ILSMton and the trees
anted on the land of the com
pany in southwest Texas. Practically
•11 of the 40,000 acres of citrus fruit
land has been disposed of and the trees
will be planted within the next year.
The growin gof oranges in Texas is no
longer an experiment and this fall
♦ here will be not Jess than "5.000 acres
of land growing oranges and those who
have studied the situation say the Tex
as fruit compares favorably with that
grown in California.
John Richey, a member of the Al
lison-Richey firm, speaking of the or
der placed Tuesday said:
“This company has sold between SO,- I
o<*o and 40,000 acres in southwest Tex ,
as to actual settlers. Many of these '
are putting out orange orchards, and j
much of the tract will be planted in
these trees. The order was placed by '
the company, but for the settlers to
whom we have sold the land. The
100,000 trees will all be out by this
fall, and in the aggregate will repre
sent one of the largest orange orchards
In the world.’’

It and Not Drunkenness Should
Be the Object of Church At
tack Says Bishop.
Portland, Me., May 18. —Impurity,
anti not drunkenness, should be regard
ed as the chief object of church at
tacks. according to Bishop Robert Cod
man. of the Episcopal diocese of Maine.
In a report on diocesan work, Bishop
I'odman says that since he came to
Maine he lias often been invited to
speak on the temperance question, but
his answer was that, dreadful as drunk
enness was, there jvas a far more ini
portart fight to be made in the state
of Maine, and that was the fight
against impurity.
“The Anglo-Saxons have always
been addicted to drink more or less,’’
he continued, “hut drink has not kill
ed the Anglo-Saxon race. Impurity,
however, will destroy the nation.’’

Austin, Tex., May 18.—A great howl

amount to about 15 per cent, while an
increase of 60 to 80 per cent has been
made on wholesale houses.
Insurance men fear a loss of business

sisting of W. H. Stacy, O. H. XiniJtA

SOLE OBJECT OF OUR
EXISTENCE ON THE EARTH
Father Nolan Preaches Elo
quent Sermon to Congrega
tion on Subject of Prayer.
A large attendance was present at
the children’s mission yesterday after
noon, held in connecting with Ute ji’ig*
sion being. by the Very Rev.
Father George 1. Nolan of Lowell,
Mass., at St. Mary ’s church. .
The order of exercises consist of
masses at 5:30, 6, 7 and 8 o clock;
short instruction after 6 o’clock miss;
sermon after 8 o’clock mass; stations
of the cross at 3p. m.; children’2 mis
sion at 4 p. m. Evening sermon at
7:45 o’clock.
In order to accommodate those who
; work, an extra mass at 5:30 a. in. will
Ibe said cm Wednesday, Thursday, Fri-
Iday and Saturday mornings during tne
mission and confessions will be heard
I beginning at 5:15 o’clock every moru
ing.
This’week closes the Easter duty sea
son. Gentlemen unable to wait long for
confession may apply at the rectory
and their confession will be heard.
At the service yesterday evening at
7:45 o’clock. Reverend Father Nolan
preached an eloquent sermon to n large
congregation on the subject of * f Pray
er, ” from the text, Matthew viii, -5,
“Lord, save us, we perish.’’
Ho said, in part:
“Faith tells ua that the sole object of our
existence upon earth is so to live that w*
may bo happy with God for all eternity.
“Left to ourselves, thin etrenity of bliss
is absolutely impossible of attainment: for
since the fall of Adan) man's condition on
earth ia the most pitiful that can well be
imagined.
“Prayer is. if not the greatest, at least
one of the greatest means of man's salva
tion. and therefore it was our divine Sa
vior'a first word and his last; his first teach
ing and hit last; his first precept and his
last injunction, because of its absolute neces
sity.
“Prayer is necessary al all times, accord
ing to the words of our Savior; ‘Pray al
ways;’ but there are certain moments when
it is a question of life and death to pray or
to neglect prayer. These are the moments
of temptation, when corrupt nature rises up
in deciance of God; moments when the temp
tations of pride, anger, revenge, incontinency
present themselves before our eyes; moments
when the senses speak to the soul and say:
‘Now is the moment of pleasure, of enjoy
ment; forget God.’
“Prayer is not only necessary for the man
who is on the waves in sight of his Master,
or who is treading th* dangerous path of
Christian morality, walking and trampling
upon his own passions, hut it is necessary
and the last and only privilege for the one
who is sunk beneath the wave. ‘Out of the
depths have I cried to thee. O Lord: Lord,
hear my voice.’ Here ia a cry recorded in
scripture and it ia for our consolation. Over
David s head hid closed the angry, deadly
sea of impurity and injustice: upon David's
■•ul ahd fallen the warm drops of Uriah's
blood unjustly shed; down deep into God's
anger went he and there was nothing left
to him but the last and only privilege of the
sinner.
“With holy Job he might have cried out
in one brna'th: ‘O God. thr-re is nothing
left fnr me but the lips that are above my
teeth.’ and in the next exclaimed with the
great St. Gregory: ‘Much ia left to me. for
there is the power to use those lips in pray
er.’ And so. out of the depths of his ain
and shame and degradation arose the voice
of David, and it reached the ear of God:*
If thou, O Lord.' hr cried out, *obs«rveth
iniquity, whi shall sustain me?’ And that
same voice who thus spoke afterward com
same voice in joyful accents th? answer of
that prayer; “Blessed be God who did not
remove my prayer nor his mercy from me.’’
“Let u« admire the admirable wisdom of
God and his great mercy in establishing for
man's aa’vation a means so easy and infa!
lible as that of prayer. Let us ever bear in
mind the promise of him whotF words ahaH
never pasg away: ‘Amen. amen. 1 say 1o
yon. Whatever yon ask th? Father in my
name, He will give it to you.’ “

RATHER PAY FINE THAN

Cigar Salesman Leaves Horse
and Buggy Standing on Hous
ton Street During Shower.
“It Ts- aivfaTf most quiet just before
a storm,” was the manner in whißh
the police accounted for the reign of
peace and quiet that hovered over the
city last night. But two arrests were
made, outside of five arrests yesterday
afternoon for traffic ordinance viola
tions. The peace authorities are con
fident that tonight will witness a mark
ed change and they anticipate “some
thing doing.”
Jose Trevenio. reputed to have once
been a famous matador and circus
clown, was the sole diaturber of the
peace. The police testified he began
yelling in a West Bide saloon and when
thrown out by the bartender was taker,
into custody. The defendant was fined
$5. The other arrest was that of a
young white man on a charge of vag
rancy. His case was continued until
tomorrow.
Because he did not want to get
caught in the rain, C. A. Gengler, a
cigar drummer, left his horse and bug
gy standing on Houston street for long
er than twenty minutes during the
shower yesterday morning. He was
placed under arrest for violating the
traffic ordinance.
“It was just a question of getting
out in the rain and ruining my stock
of goods, valned at about $4O. or leav
ing the horse and buggy on the street
for more than twenty minute*,” Geng
ler told the court. “ I did the next best
thing under the circumstances, and that
was to keep out of the rain and take
proper care of my goods. J do not
plead ignorance of the law, but 1 either
had to technically violate the law or
drive in the rain.”
Judge Buckley announced that he
could see no reason why a fine should
not be imposed in the ease. The law.
he said, had been violated, and he
thought other methods may have been

resorted to so that the traffic measure
would not have been broken. He sail
that the people regarded the law as a
good one and that while he regretted
to impose the fines, yet he considered
it his duty to do so. The minimum
fine of $5 was entered.
Tracy Moore, a negro, paid five dol
lars for tying his horse to a fire plug.
Andrew Branch, a negro, paid the same
amount for leaving his vehicle' on the
sidewalk. Adolfo Ruiz was arrested bv
Patrolman Cook on the complaint of C.
