eteries in and around Houston and placed
suitable floral :nemorluls on the graves
of those sons of the Confederacy who
sleep there.
The services at the chapel were at-

posed of the Uiiughters of the Confed-
eracy, locul Confederate veterans and

dear. Adjutant L. L. Cohen of Dick

JUDGE STREET S ADDRESS.
The address of Judge Street was the
featuie of the service. He discoursed as
an old veteran on the South and its lost
cause, and introduced into Ills addres.;
many phases .Hid expressions Which car-
ried the several old Confederates present
back to the days around the camp fire
and on the battlefield. After a brief in-
troduction as 10 his invitation and what
led him to accspt it ana be present on
tills occasion, ludge Street entered Into
a discussion of the meaning and signifi-
cance of the occasion.
"We come not here ns conquerors, as
the victors .'rom a field of conflict. Those
whose memory we commemorate by this
service lost Uie cause which they thought
was right, though we, their descendants,
enjoy all the advantages and ufcnefits ot
a liee repuolic. And neither do we meet
as ex-Conted?rates who have discovered
that perhaps we were all wrong; nor to
tell again ihe story with regard to the
constiiuional right of secession.
"We meet here simply to communicate
with our dead, reverentially an,1 in a
spirit of hallowed appreciation for the
valor with which they strove and the
legacy they have left to us. We will
share the glories and we will bear our
part of the burdens of the republic, but,
O heaven, our dead are our own. We are
jealous of them, jealous or their memory,
and we will share it with none. And
we invoke their presence now. as we are
met as sorrowing soldiers, daughters and
ltiends to commemorate the lives of those
who have passed before.
"How united were the Southern people
In that great -ontest which involved ail
that they possessed! Whatever dissen-
tions and divisions there were existing In
the South before the beginning of the
conflict, throughout the war these peo-
ple were united with an enthusiasm sel-
dom witnessed before in the history of
ally nation. It showed itself in ihe earn-
est and unflinching patriotism of the me.i
on the field and in the self-sicrifice and
devotion of the women at home.
"Daughters of the Confederacy. T poln;
you to the women of the old South. If
you have set them as your standard it is
a high one 'ndecd. I can not tell the
story of their matchless virtues. I di-
rect you to that first among us. the
greatest, our martyred president, Jeffer-
son Davis, who, in the dedication of his
history of the Confederacy, speaks in
such truthful words of tiie daughters of
the South.
"The temperament of the Southern peo-
ple before the war was subjective rather
than objective; ideal rather than mate-
rial; spiritual rather than utilitarian.
They were linn believers in the inalien-
able rights vouchsafed to all by the con-
stitution. This temperament and these
political ideas combined to make their
political philosophy — a philosophy whicu
was so closely related to the religion of
the peojile that the one was virtually
rooted in the other.
"Sometimes we ask. is it possible that
all we fought for has passed away for-
ever. remembering the earnestness of
that struggle which involved our very
lives and which resulted, so sadly? There
Is no more Universal belief than this; All
that is true, that is noble, that is beauti-
ful and good belongs to the eternal years
of God. Whatever there was of true vir-
tue in what we fought for survives and
will survive forever. We ought each to
get this conviction, thai wnatever was
best and noblest and most beautiful in
the cause for which we contend, all of
this still lives and will survive forever.
"Let us, then, live these virtues. Wat-
cver there was nf nobleness in that which
has now passed into history, let us live
it now In our lives, in our daily conduct. '
The memorial service concluded, a num-
ber of those present -.vent with the
Daughters and the veterans to the vari-
ous cemeteries, where wreathes and
floral offerings were placed on the
graves of the Confederate dead in Hous-
ton. The decoration of the various ceme-

AT HIGHLAND PARK.
Daring Castellane Was Slightly
Kurt But Will Try Again.
Everyone in Houston did not go to Gal-
veston yesterday; there were several
thousand people out at the opening of
Highland park r.bd to witness the little
Dare Devil Castellane, the wizard of the
wheel, endeavor to break his neck, and
he came very near being successful in
that effort twice in his attempt to loop
the gap. In his performance in the after-
noon he leaped the first gap successfully
and made the ttirnover in the loop, but
Instead of going on Into the lake he un-
expectedly fell off the incline on to the
ground, the tire of his wheel becoming
punctured in the loop. With invincible
determination to succeed he substituted a
npw tire and tried it again and in reach-
ing the same place In the loop fell off to
the ground and was so severely shaken
up that he was obliged to lay up for re-
pairs. His accident prevented him from
attempting the performance at night, but
he says he will be all ri"ht toiiight and
will make a successful performance from
start to finish If it kills bim. Oilt of 103

ways of breaking one's neck this looping
the gap by Mr. Castellane seems to be the
act .coming nearer to accomplishing that
result than any other. Provided he does
not kill himself tonight he will repeat the
performance every night this week. The
incline and loop is brilliantly Illuminated
with incandescent lamps and, with the
great flames of fires through which he
dives, make a very startling effect.
The great roller coaster, which Is the
first and only one in Texas, began opera-
tions abovt 2 o'clock, and its capacity was
strained to the utmost all the afternoon
and trvenlng to take care of those de-
siring to enjoy this delightful amusement

attraction. v.,is also will bo running
every night from now on.

attractions will be ,-unning. including
Dare Devil Csstellane, dancing and the

Brenon Stock company will occupy the
pavilion with the great melodrama
"Northern Lights." and will present two
new plays each week.
LINGLE DECLINED
THE CALL OF FIRST PRES-
BYTERIAN CHURCH.
South Carolina Divine Feels that
His Duty Is in Rock
Hill.
Rev. Walter L. Lingle of Rock Hill,
S. C„ recently called to the pastorate of
the First Presbyterian church of Hous-
ton, has declined the call and will remain
in his present location. The congrega-
tion and session of the Houston church
have taken no further steps in the matter
of securing a minister, Mr. Lingle's an-
swer being officially received olily yes-
terday.
The news that he could not accept the
call was received with general regret by
the congregation yesterday. Mr. C. W.
Sedgwick, clerk of the session, received
the communication Saturday, but its con-
tents were divulged to no one but the
ether members of the session until at the
morning service yesterday, when its full
text was read from the pulpit. The church
had confidently expected that the call
would be favorably acted on, for the min-
ister appeared so altogether pleased whon
he was here week before last and showed
so hearty a liking to the congregation and
this community.
CONSIDERS DUTY THERE.
Mr. Lingle, however, considers that his
duty lies in his present location and has
decided to that effect. Ill his letter ne
speaks very sincerely of his impressions
of Houston and the Houston church, ad-
mits that it is a splendid opportunity, and
expresses himself as well pleased with the
people and the courtesies they extended
him. But he says: "It was a question ns
to which call I should accept; the call to
Houston or the call to Rock Hill. -A.n.1
1 aycept the call to Rock Hill."
There he has laoorea many years. He
liat; naturally ueveloped an affection, close
and intimate, for tue cliurcn which ne
has built up, and tins, coupled witn the
united wish of tlie people tuat lie remain
with them, has influenced him largely to
take the action tuat ne d.d. However, as
Jjf. 1 heron Jtvice of Atlanta wrote a mem-
ber ot' tiie session rectnuy. " the uecisio.i
is Lingle's own decision.' He made it in
lull Knowledge of the tavorabie, conditions
existing here, the spleiidid eiilirch equip-
ment, the excellent organ.zation; for tiie
minister personally visited the church and
examined into ail the details relating to
its life and wcrk. But lie eonsiUereu, m
tne light i the conviction wilicli he be-
lieved to be of God, that niS uuty lies at
l.ock Hill and not ill Houston. And hav-
ing this conviction and believing thus, ne
acted as he did,
i'he session of the church has as yet
taken no action in the matter of select-
ing a minister. In fact, it nas liad no
time for this yet, the decision of Mr.
I.ingle not being known until Saturday
afternoon. The session will take the mat-
ter up immediately, however, and it is
hoped that tlie situation will be settled
witain a very short time.
YESTERDAY AT CHL'RCH.
Rev. J. L. Hendry officiated and
preached at the services of the First Pres-
byterian church yesterday morning. In
the evening Rev. W. H. Jacobs of Nash-
ville, Tenn., preached an effective ser-

BUTLER HYPNOTISTS
Will Appear at Houston Theater
Tonight.
Manager Michael says that, starting
tonight and the balance of the week, Dr.
and Mrs. S. L. Butler, the world's famous
hypnotists, will be the great attraction at
the Houston theater tiiat will be of much
interest to everyone. At an enormous
expense of both time and money the
Butlers have gathered material which
has made their performances famous
throughout the land. No source which
could possibly furnish anything new or
novel has been left untouched. Each
country on the face of the globe which
knows anything of hypnotism has its
latest discoveries represented in these en-
tertainments. The entertainment is com-
posed of an endless variety of things se-
lected from the every day wilks of life
Tiie drama, opera and extravaganza have
each furnished their best parts. Quaint
characters from various professions and
trades, many of which show the most lu-
dicrous Instantaneous transformations in
plain view of the audience, are all blend-
ed together with such nicety that the be-
holder has constantly before him a won-
derful evanescent panorama of life, which
makes a most enjoyable entertainment
from a purely theatrical standpoint, but
when we consider ihe materia) for the
performance, the results obtained and the
mighty working of the seemingly strange
and Incomprehensible influence which for
want of a better name we call hypnotism,
we pause in the midst of our musings and
sit as if spellbound, while our thoughts
seem lost in the dreamiest drapery of
eternal mystery. Ladies will be admitted
free under usual conditions on opening
night.

BRILLIANT MUSICIANSHIP
Miss Wehrmann's Artistic Re-
cital Last Night.
The whole suite of drawing rooms in
the Rice hotel was crowded by a con-
course of musically appreciative people
who listened entranced to the brilliant
performance by Miss Wehrmann of the
fallowing fine list of piano compositions.
Prelude Rachmaninoff
Etude No. 3. op. 10, No. 1J of 25 Chupin
Pi-elude No. 21—3 Chopin
Impromptu F sharp Chopin
Baiiade G minor Chopm
Intermezzo Schumann
Novelletten D major Schumann
M inuctto Grieg
Serenade to the Moon PugiiLi
Etude MoskowdM
La Jongleuse MoskowslU
caprice Espagnol Moskowski
Miss Wehrmann's execution is technical
perfection, and, for a girl of her age, she
shows a remttrKable insight into tlie coin-
oSsers' meanings.
He;; shading in the first number was
exquisitely fine, and, even thus early, one
noted that her pedaling Is one of the spe-
cial points of ez ceiknce in her work. The
over-tone effects hero in tho Chopin group
were markedly good,
laj|
ere markedly good,
This Chopin prelude .No. 21 and th«j Bal-
de. specially., were given wl.th . fitieisitig-
lng tones; and, another point, found par-
ticularly satisfying all along, was the
way she takes double notes—attacks are
so even—making their sounding together
so perfectly exact. This may seem a
very small and simple matter, but it
isn't.
The Grieg, Pugno and Schumann com-
positions were thoroughly appreciated,
too; and Miss Wehrmann's playing of
Moskowski is absolutely flawless. It waa
a thrillingly delicious experience to hear
the Caprice Espagnol as she played.
Miss Wehrmann's delighted hearers re-
peatedly begged for more—and more, and
even more, and out of her goodness she
continued to give until she must have
been exhausted were she of less wonder-
fully trained physique.

George Thayer's class of violin pupils,

KRUPP &TUFFLY,
302-04 Main St. - Hoviston, Tex.
IN GRIMES COUNTY
There Is a Renewal of Interest
in Oil.
(Houston Post Special..)
Navasota, Texas, April 29.—Interest in
the oil propositions in the Griiiies county
field seems to be working up to fever
heat; locally for sure, and the marked
increase of strangers talking land and
travel by livery rigs indicates that if
there be "anything doing," home people
will not be sole beneticlaries.
The interest now is accentuated by cap-
pers and promised developments lrom the
well now being sunk by Dr. Piatt and
associates. The hole has now been drilled
into tiie earth ib27 f;-et. Wrork is stopped
or slacked pending arrival of some more
casing, bailers, elc.. and to permit sub-
stituting a standard drilling rig for the
rotary so far used.
Mr. John L. Frattcklow. who is doubt-
less the best posted man here oil field
doings, wili give or vouch for no further
information than herein stated, and that
nearby land he had on the market up to
three or four days ago is now off.
That the showings should be sufficient
to prompt these men to a further en-
ergetic outlay of cash and brains is sig-
nificant. There is not a great deal of
local trading, but expectation is on tip-
toe.
JENNINGS PIPE LINE
Is Completed Nearly to the At-
chafalaya.
(Houston Post Special.)
Crowley, La., April 30.—The Bass &
Benckenstein pipe line from the Jennings
oil field to Butte La Rose, on the Ateh-
afalaya river, has been completed to
within a little over a mile of its des-
tination, and the next ten days will wit-
ness the completion of the line to the
river. It is expected that the lihe will
be In operation about May 10. The line
has a capacity of 10,000 barrels of oil a
day. It has tour relay pumping stations
along the route, which is about sixtv
miles. Alongside the line is an inde-
pendent telephone line belonging to the
company. There are two steel storage
tanks at Butte La Rose, with an aggre-
gate storage capacity of 110,000 gallons.
The line will be a common carrier, al-
though the company has a larg!' amount
of oil in storage at the field and is pro-
ducing 14.0C0 barrels a days, more than
the capacity of the line.
AT BIG HILL
Move" on Foot to Sink Three
More Deep Wells.
(Houston Post Special.)
Matagorda. Texas, April 28.—After
reaching a depth of 875 feet in the Bryan-
Dansier well, the casing was set Thurs-
day and they bailed all that night, but the
well failed to jiroduce the coveted oil.
However, they drew the casing and will
go deeper.
A move is on foot to sink three more
deep wells, work to begin at once, as it
has been decided the real vein of oil is
much farther down than was thought at
first.
Messrs. Cash, Sutherland and De Voe
have been in the field the most of the
week. There are several pumpers at
work.
Involuntary Bankruptcy.
(Houston Post Special.)
.fwilene, Texas, April 30.—Involuntary

ably Impressed with it, and so reported
at the time. I have not my old notes
with me—rthey are in Virginia—but after
a recent visit in.the same locality I see
llo reason to change my opinion,
"The character of the gas is the same
as that at Humble. I made analysis of
the gas at both places and find them
identical.
"Judging from the conditions, a strong
gas pressure should be encountered in
the present well between 700 and N00 .feet.
This, however, is reasoning from analogy,
as there is :ib point absolutely fixed for
the appearance of extraordinary pres-
sure."
NACOGDOCHES FIELD.
Third Well Is to Be Started
Soon.
(Houston Post Special.)
Nacogdoches, Texas, April 30.—The Na-
cogdoches Oil and Development com-
pany, dornposed of T. J. Wiiliams, pres-
ident; D. J. Wiliams, vice president; J.
L. Williams, second vice president, and
G. W. Brown, secretary, ali of whom
are local capitalists and tire now engaged
in the development of the Nacogdoches
oil field, will start their third well this
week. Their second well, which was
started five months ago, was the one
giving them so much trouble by break-
downs. The casing is now being taken
from the well to a point on the log of
the well which produced 500 barrels of oil
per day. In this well at 1200 feet a sul-
phur bed was struck that twisted off the
pipe. This part of the casing they failed
to fish out. They then started the drill
down by the side of this abandoned cas-
ing, and at 1260 feet the casing twisted
off again, hence the steps taken to save
the product of the well at 40 feet. The
new well will be started fifty feet from
No. 2, as the management of the com-
pany are so sanguine of success at that
point that they are determined to go
down and find oil. Well No. 1 is a shal-
low well about 4C0 feet deep, and is a good
producer. In all of the wells the gas
pressure is very strong.
Prospectors are now in the field daily
and some property is changing hands.
The Nacogdoches Southeastern railroad
will be completed to Woden in two weeks.
The rails are now being placed in position
from the end of the track, seven miles
out. The grade is completed to within
one mile from the center of the field,
and in the next month both freight and
passenger trains will be in operation to
the end of this track. Then something
will be heard to drop that will make the
Nacogdoches oil field famous throughout
the civilize land.
