BREAK AWAY FROM
INTERNATIONAL LESSONS
Action to Be Taken at Baptist
Convention to Get Away
From Studies Now Used.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 28.—Loading
men of Baptist denominations from
practically every southern state, met
here this morning to decide matters
which will interest the entire religious
world. These men constitute a lesson
committee appointed at the Southern
Baptist convention, recently in session
at Baltimore, and their action will
doubtless mean the first breaking away
from the international Sunday school
lessons, in use by practically all the
leading denominations since 1872.
It has been known for some time
that Baptists are not entirely in ac
cord with the other denominations on
the question of these lessons. Thts
dissatisfaction reached a climax recent
ly when a Baptist member was re
moved from the international lesson
committee.

MESIS BOY FOR
IHBESHINE PICK
First Case of Annual Busy Sea
son for Police Is Postponed
for a Day.
“You was.’’
“I wasn’t.”
This was the substance of the testi
mony offered at the hearing of a white
boy named Charley Wagner, arrested
on' an affidavit filed against him by
Captain Karber, custodian of Bracken
ridge park, when the ease was called
for trial before Judge Buckley in the
police court, the lad being charged
with having unlawfully threshed pe
cans in Brackenridge park. The case
is the first of the pecan threshing sea
son.
Captain Karber testified that he
found the defendant in the park at 7
o’clock Tuesday morning, threshing pe
cans. He produced a flour sack well
filled with the fresh nuts, which he said
he had found at the bottom of the tree,
when the defendant and two compan
ions ran and got away. He positively
identified the lad. The boy, however,
testified that he had never been at
Brackenridge park that morning, had
not been there for a long time, and at
7. o’clock Tuesday morning was in the
city, on Houston street, looking for a
job.
Judge Buckley postponed the case to
permit the lad to produce witnesses to
prove he was in the city at that time.
MURDER CASE RECALLED
BY MORRISON PAROLE
Woman Released From Kansas
Penitentiary Killed Suc
cessful Rival.
Special Dispatch.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 28. —Miss
Jesse Morrison, released on parole from
the penitentiary at Lansing, Kan., yes
terday passed through here this morn
ing en route to the home of her sister
in Excelsior Springs, where she expects
to make her home for the present. She
had served eight years of her sentence
for murder and was paroled by Gover
nor Stubbs.
Governor Stubbs said regarding his
action:
“In the first trial of Jesse Morrison
the jury disagreed, nine voting for ac
quittal and three for conviction of
manslaughter. In the second trial she
was convicted of manslaughter with a
five-year sentence. I am convinced the
first trial was the fairest she had, and
taking into consideration the fact that
at the second trial she was awarded a
sentence of five years 1 believe the
sentence of twenty-five years which she
received at the third trial is excessive
punishment. ’’
No criminal case in Kansas ever at
tracted more attention than the Jesse
Morrison case. At the time it was
on the boards the people were wrought
up everywhere. Sentiment was divided
about equally. Since then it has gone
toward the prisoner. _
The murder occurred on June 2_,
1900. Mrs. Castle was the bride of Oliu
Castle of Eldorado. At one time Olin
and Jesse Morrison were engaged. Miss
Morrison was desperately in love with
him. When he jilted her and married
Clara Wiley it drove her frantic.
On the morning of Juno 22, Miss
Morrison went to the Castle home. Mrs.
Castle was alone. The two women en
gaged in a death struggle. When it was
over Mrs. Castle was found ou the flow
with her throat ent from eur to ear. She
lived for a couple of days. She could
not speak on account of the injuries
and was conscious only a brief time.
During that time she picked up a
pencil and wrote: “Jesse Morrison
killed me.”
“I bear, Mrs. Farvenue, that your
son is a grekt student aud passes most
of his time over the midnight oil.’
i “There isn’t a word of truth about
that oil, ma’am; we have gas all over
the house, and Alfred has a whole cnan
tieleer in his room. Oil, indeed!” Aud
the haughty dame tossed her head.

Chichiquilote.
No, it’s not the name of a wild
nor a patent medicine. It’s merely the
name of a bird, and a rather small bird
at that.
Tn English they would call it the
“fly eater,” for the chichiquilote is
sure death to these pests. It is a Met
ican species of snipe, and probably the
first half dozen ever seen in San An
tonio were brought back by Andres
Coy, district elerk. when he returned
from his visit to Mexico City.
The chichiquilote has a bill compar
able only to that of an expert tailor.
Ft is nearly three inches long and when
it conies down on a fly the fly immedi
ately takes a journey. The bird ,s
guaranteed to keep an ordinary house
clear of flies, and a pair of them will
clean up a mansion. Beyond flies an 1
water, the birds want little other nour
ishment.
In the swamps of Lakes Chaleo and
Texcoeo. out from Mexico City, the
chichiquilote flourishes in millions.
They take their name from the sound
they make while feeding or flitting
from place to place. They can beat
the carrier pigeon flying, but are o*ilv
tamed and have little fear for man.
Literally millions are eaten every year
iu the Mexican restaurants, they beiug
served like jaeksnipe.
Mr. Coy heard of the chichiquilo’e
while in Mexico City and determined
to have some. Negotiations with in
old Mexican woman resulted in his ac
quiring ten, it not being the season
for them. These ten started with him
to San Antonio, but on the way foul

THE TRAMP SCORED.
Of the two men standing at a street
corner, one was one of those smart fel
lows who are always aching tp display
their smartness.
“Watch nic take a rise out of him!”
he muttered to bis companion, as a
ragged old tramp hove in sight and
started to recite the usual tale of
pathos.
“Why, that’s not the same story you
told me last time you accosted me,”
said the brainy one, when the vagrant
had run down.
The latter looked at him In sorrow

said?
“Mbbbe not —mebbe not? But 1
don’t remember speaking to you. When
was it?”
“Last week.”
“That explains it. I’d forgotten

retort. “I was in prison all last
week.”

HEARST WOULD NOT TAKE
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
Axoriated Press.
New York, Sept. 28.—1 n a cable dis
patch received in this city from Paris
today, Wm. Randolph Hearst
that he would not be willing to accept
a minor nomination on the republican
ticket. Mr. Hearst, in the dispatch,
says that when asked if the statement
that he recently made on the New York
political situation could be interpreted
to mean that he would accept such a
nomination, replied:
Certainly not.” I am an independ
ence leaguer. 1 would do anything to
help the league, but I would not accept
any nomination, large or small, on the
republican ticket.”
TEAR OUT WALL TO
GET MACHINERY IN
The San Antonio Gas and Electne
company is making improvements at
its plant on the corner of South Presa
and VilJita streets, in the resetting ot
its many boilers and the installing of
a new thirty-foot fly wheel to take the
place of an old one that was worn out.
In order to take out the old machinery
and install the new wheel, it was nec
essary to tear a large hole in the west
side of the structure on South Presa
street. The last section of the old fly
wheel was taken through the opening
today at noon and the new wheel,
which is already in the city, will be
hauled to the plant and placed in posi
tion this afternoon.
A FAILURE.
The vaudeville manager was testing

“Your songs won't do for me. 1

atre,” said he.
“But I don’t use profanity,” was
the reply.
“No.” said the manager, “but the
audience would.”
