A Noted Figure in West Texas ano Subject of Many Ancedotes aid Niwapaper Sketches—Proprietor of "The Jersey Lily” nd Peac e Justice. El Paso. Tex., March 17. —News teaches here of the death cf Roy Bean, known as “the law west of the Pecos," at his home in Langtry, Texas. •Squire” Bean was one of the most noted characters in the Untted States, and for years has been the* subject of innumerable anecdotes and newspapei sketches. Biographical Sketch. A quaint and original character of West Texas has gone to hie last rest in the pass.ng cf Judge Roy Bean, generally knewn as dispenser of jus tice • West of the Pecos.” who died at I.angtry yesterday. Judge Bean figured more or loss as a national ccaracter on account of his eccentric nature and has been made an inter esting subject in song and story. There is even now a play under con structlch in which the character of Judge Bean is said to figure. During the Fitzsimmons Maher fight at i.ang try Judge Bean's saloon, "The Jersey Lily,” proved a popular resort for the spectators at the contest, which added to the fame of Judge Bean. Judge Bean was about 68 years old at the time of his death and was bom in Kentucky. He came to Texas a young man, after taking a trip to Call fornia. He was married about forty years ago in San Antonio to a Miss Chavez, the daughter cf a Spanish set tler, who survives him. Judge Bean is survived by four chil dren, Roy, Jr., who is married and lives at present in New Mexico; Mrs. Isaura Mellor, of Algiers. La.: Mrs. Zulema Voss, of Richmond, Tex., and Sam. who lives with his father Judge Roy Bean located at in 1883 and ran a beer saloon ever since. He was also Justice of the peace of Precinct No. 5. of Valverde county since I*B4 and with the excep tion of four years, when he was de feated by J. P. Torres, he held the office until the time of his death. MORTUARY. Harrv Henderson, aged 58, died at the Santa Rosa Infirmary at 3 o'clock yesterday after a long illness. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon under the auspices of Anchor Lodge of the Masons. Deceased had been in the city but five days when his illness terminated fatally.

The Texas Liquor Dealer says: "A gentleman engaged in the liquor business in the town of Denison, just prior to the recent local option election in Grayson county, visited San Anto nio and in speaking of the approach ing contest expressed great confidence in the result, because the antis had raised a good campaign fund, and had invested at least $lO,OOO in poll tax receipts, besides having several thou sand dollars in reserve. The result should teach the liquor men as well as all liberal citizens who believe that prohibition would be blighting upon the prosperity of the state, that money will not defeat It. There has been too much reliance plac ed In corrupt methods. The majority of the voters are not purchasable and the use of money Is resented by good citizens Organization and intelligent use of the press is one way to meet the issue. The raw use of money in purchasing poll tax receipts end buy ing voters outright must be stopped. It Is not too l»*e yet to save Texas but it must be done by a different method than through the use of money to corrupt the ballot box.” There is sound logic In this argu ment that should commend itself to the trade.

Rtil Homs Grown Shamrock a Feat ure thia Year —Religious Services, Fecial Observance and Historical Information. St Patrick's Day in San Antonio was ushered in this morning with balmy spring weather and all nature hurrying to P«t on its mautle of green in order to pleas* the patron saint of the emerald Isle, one of the most fer tile in the world and which has contri buted more in prose, poetry, history and romance, than probably any popu lation of its size in Christendom. Everybody today is wearing the green, Ireland's patriotic emblem, many of the favors being seen on coat lapels and ladies' shoulders showing various designs; seme baring the real shamrock or four-leaf clover, Imported frem the old country, others with pret ty imitations given as souvenirs by our merchants, and again others with green ribbons, from the length of half an Inch to two yards. The real thing, the only genuine shamrock it rooms, ever grown in San Antonio, Is to be seen at Burnett It Co’s, office, Locoya and East Crockett street. Hitherto It was a popular belief that the shamrock (bo tanical oxilas Hlbemica) would not thrive outside of Ireland, but Mr. Geo. Harper, receiving a sprig of it direct from the Emerald Isle last autumn tried the experiment of propagating It and through the past winter has nursed the little plant as a young mother would her first born sick child, with the result that today he is giv ing away hundreds of the leaves and the pretty pink blossom to all bls friends. Services tn honor of the day were held In St. Mary's church this morning and the church was crowded to stand ing room. Tonight an entertainment will be given with the following cast of characters for the "Irish Corporals," at Casino hall. Corporal O'Hooligan. "The Irish Cor- poral'*. ’.

Historical —St. Patrick. Inseparable in the mental horoscopa is Ireland and its famous patron »aint, St. Patrick. Ireland'* earliest history is enveloped in fable: history so varied in the legen dary and actual that its annals and gen ealogies, its tale". both mythological and imaginary; its prose and poetry and songs, as well as the lives of its saints, form but a mystic h»ze wherein the con jecture of the students of the race tnar run riot. In literalut<- there is no evidence that the Irish had use of letters until the middle of the Fifth century. when ( arts tianity and Christian literature were in troduced by Saint Patrick, anti as the oldest specimens of the language have been preserved in the monasteries, one of the earliest historic pieces is a metri cul life of that apostle whose memory every son and .laughter of Ireland eon tintrotisly reveres and annually and ap propriatclv celebrate, on the appointed 17th day of March. This eventful life began about 31M1. in flip British Roman province of Valentis, probably on th- < Ude river where DuM imrton Scotland- is now situated. Hi* tather, having retired from active ser vice in the Roman army, lived on a fann, from Whence Patrick, at the age of Six teen vear.. was «rml away by a band of marauder* and sold as a slave to th. later b \ ,na % h resolved to prepare himself for the priesthood and convert Ireland. In due time h? succeeded in being ordained a bishop and having received the papa benediction from Celestine I. he returned tn Ireland about the year 332 to begin th.- work he had consecrated himself io aeeomp.i’li- . He is said to have founded over th’ee hundred churdies and baptised with h:s own hands more than twelve thousand persons. Hi< death took place in 469. Ri, “confessions’ and a letter addressed to a Welsh chief constitute the only au thentic litcrarv remains of the patron saint of the Irish people. A mu SUNNY JIM / K is coming next week K in person. He will call * ■ at your house and present ■ you with a Large package of V F O R C E” Give it a fair trial, and you will learn why he became Sunny Jim Dowie Does It. The El Paso News says: "By encouraging people to trust in Zion, Rev. Dowie has succeeded in ac culminating a fortune of fifteen mil .tons in ten years. It is a case where faith and works go together. The people had the faith and Dowie had the works." Tuat’a a trust that pays—Dowie. When we see these things wo are con strained to respeat: "What fools these mortals be.” But it Don’t. The Gainesville Signal says: “My subscription having run out, please expire until further notice.” wrote a subscriber to an editor. The editor, though usually accommodat ing, is still alive. • here may have been much truth in this. Some subscribers are con ceited enough to suppose that the stepping of their subscription will kill the paper and are surprised to find the paper lives when they have with drawn their patronage. There are some of that kind right here. RAILWAY TIME TABLE. Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio. Train No. 7, from Houston and New Orleans, arrives at 6:00 p. m.; for El Paso.

The Monterey News gives the fol lowing account of an innovation in that city: < •“It will soon be impossible for per sons to thrust a portion of their faces into the transmitters of the telephones when talking in Monterey. The Tele phone company has commenced stretching pieces of antiseptic gauze across the mouthpieces. A few of the ’phones were equipped with the strips pf gauze last week, and as soon as pos sible they will be placed on all tele phones in use in Monterey, especially those located in public places. "It is expected that the coverings will serve the double purpose of pre venting impatient patrons from Injur ing the transmitters and the introduc tion of disease germs. No better ar ranzement could be designed for a fres exchange of germs than the telephone transmitter and It is held by physi cians that a large percentage of dis eases are contracted through the use of the telephone. The antiseptic gauze strips, which are being fitted across the transmitters, are supposed to be conductive to the death of all germs.” In both these ways Monterey is ap parently ahead. As It Really Is. The Dallas News saya: “It the present rate the British gov ernment soon will cease to be British. , It will be composed of Scotsmen and Irishmen. The present prime minis ter is a Scot; so is the leader of the opposition, the chancellor of the ex chequer, the attorney general and the secretary of the board of trade. The lord chancellor, the solicitor general, (he secretary for India, the foreign sec retary, the war secretary and the chief secretary for Ireland —all are Irish men." This is deceptive. The parties named are not "Scotch" or "Irish," except by the accident of birth, and their senti ments and action proves this. There’s no Doubt of It. The following from the New Orleans GRAIN?)
