tion of their Ideal young man. and

at the services tomorrow night. While

vice. On Sunday afternoon at 4

Last night a remarkable sceSrva*
1 witnessed In the great Lutcher A
Moore milt. After the mldnlght-mnr
vice Prof. Waugh asked the seventy
' men who had been listening to him,
with wrapt and intelligent attention.
If they wanted him to continue com-
ing. If so. to indicate the wish by
standing, and the seventy men rose in
i a body, and stood there under the elec-
tric light the very spirit of the re-
deeming power and strength of Amer-
[ lean manhood.
I Does Prof. Waugh work for the
! money there is In it?
Let us see. , ' ,'
He Is one of the most powerful,
scholarly and magnetic orators in this
country. He could command a salary
of live thousand dollars per year on
the lecture platform. Next Monday
Light he will deliver a lecture at the
Christian church lu-thia-cKy. which
will be well worth a dollar to hear,
but there wUl be no charge, except a
voluntary contribution. This house
will be crowded so that standing room
will be at a premium, and only the
early comers will get seats, because
the building Ijamall. At a dollar a
ticket the hodee would be filled just
{ the same, because many of you know
! Prof. Waugh. and you who are read-
ing this will go out to show your ap-
preciation of the man and your rever-
1 ence for the work he Is doing. But he
' has refueed the request that has been
selfishly made by those who are anx-
ious for exclusive privileges, and the
lectured as we' have said, is free to all.
Prof. Waugh will speak on Monday
night on the condition of the Jews In
Russia, a live subject of today. .He
will tell of some of the persecutions
the Jews are suffering, describe the
Russian church, and its Influences «ip
on Bastera civilisation, especially the
people of China and Japan, briefly out-
line the history of the fast and draw
lessons for the future therefrom. We
cannot tell you half of what Prof.
Waugh Is doing (or the city of Orange.
Go hear him and help him.
! On Mbnday afternoon at 3 o'clock
there will be a special service to wo-
men in the Christian church. Every
woman in the city should make an
effort to be present.

THE RICE MARKET.
Planting la Being Pushed Forward
Rapidly Under Fine Conditions.
Dan Talmage's Sons' Co., New York,
report:
Market rules steady with fair de-
mand from local and out-of-town trade.
8tocks are gradually lessening and as-
sortments are being broken up, in-
creasing the difficulty of matching
previous deliveries: hence the buy-
ers are carefully looking over all of-
ferings to select substitutes.
Advlcee from the South note con-
tinuance of firm conditions. On the
Atlantic, coast stocks of cleaned are
barely sufficient to supply home wants
balance of season. At New Orleans
demand Is in excess of dally offerings,
thus reducing the holdings In the
hands of dealers. In the interior—
Southwest Louisiana and Texas—the
few mills yet in commission are mak-
ing their final "exhibits," which are
limited as to quantity and bare in as-
sortment. The total supply for the
next four months is less than the
amount carried over at the close of
last season's business. Hence thé
outlook Is. for a strong and advancing
market; In fact the normal demand at
primary centers, from local or nearby
points, will require more than is in
sight, long before the new fcrop .is
available.
Planting is being pushed forward
rapidly; that which has already been
seeded is progressing finely, and the
prospects are for a bountiful crop, al-
though a late harvest will naturally
follow the greatly retarded planting.
Cables and correspondence from
abroad not enlarged demand for car-
goes of uncleaned to arrive. Good de-
mand for spot cleaned and a greatly
Improved Inquiry tor cleaned against
future delivery with advancing pric-
es. In Burmah, conditions are more
than uaually favorable for a strong
market, as the remainder crop Is no
more than can be handled and control-
led by and through native channels.

C. H. Markham. executive head of
the Harrlman lines in Texas, and A.
V. Kellogg, engineer of the mainten-
ance of way, of the Central-East and
West tines, returned' to the city yes-
terday after a two-weeks' outing de-
voted to a trip over the proposed route
of the extension of the San Antonio
and<Aranaaa PasB to some point on the
Rio Graride. The Journey from Alice,
.on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass,
over tKeTOfveyed route to Browns-
ville. was made In the usual roughing
fashion, and the gentlemen, from all
appearances, evidently thoroughly en-
Joyed the little touch of camp life.
The purpose of the trip, while it
has hever been made public, has been
subjected to much speculation and dis-
cussion. It is known that several sur-
veys have beeü made by the San An-
tonio and Aransas Pass preliminary
to the extension of the lines to the
Rio Grande. It Is also generally con-
ceded that such an extension was con-
sidered by the San Antonió authori-
ties before the present proceedings
against the road came up before the
railroad commission, and also that it
is still contemplated.
It IS generally believed that the vis-
It of the two officials to the route of
the proposed road means that some-
thing will come of the matter in a very
short time. Ae the matter now stands
nothing, of course, can be done until
the proceedings are disposed of. Just
as soon aa the difficulty is rectified, It
may be sure that immediate steps will
be taken to caory into effect the above
stated intention.
Mr. Markham declined to make a
direct statement as to the plans of the
owners of the Aransas Pass with re-
spect to the possibility of an exten-
sion into the Brownsville. country,
but he seemed to be quite enthusiastic
over the agricultural development
which will follow the construction of a
railroad Into that country. And it
seems to be the accepted opinion that
if matters now pending before the
commission relative to the forfeiture
proceedings against the Aransas Pass
are dlspos«d of that the line will be
extended to some point on the Rio
Grande river.
Mr. Markham, while refusing to dis-
cuss the railroad proposition, admitted
that at least three surveys have been
made from the southern branch of thé
San Antonio and Aransas Pass to
points on the Rio Grande, and that
the trip from Alice to the Rio Grande
was made over the route of one of
these surveys. Mr. Markham, in dis-
cussing the agricultural possibilities of
the country between Alioe and Browns-
ville, said that the future' of the
country depends upon railroads and
^transportation facilities. The soil is
rich and fertile, but there are at pres-
ent no facilities for marketing tbe
products.
It niay, therefore, be Justly assumed
that the visit of these officials to the
locality at this particular time is of
profound significance, as far as rail-
road matters are concerned, and that
as soon as some decisión is made in
regard to the future disposition of the
San Antonio and Aransas Paae, some
definite steps may be taken to carry
into Immediate effect the present plan
of the promoters.
