WE QUARANTINE I
Tuesday a party of ladies and
gentlemen arrived here from Hous-
ton and candidly admitted that
they were afraid yellow fever exist
«d in their town and that they
were, refugees. The council and
few of our citizens took a yellow
fever panic and discussed matters
variously and otherwise. Mayor
Hardy called a meeting at 2 p. m.
which decided to quarantine the
town against all infected points.
Quarantine officers under Marshal
Laughliu meet all trains, and those
from infected points are told to
move on. Notice was given to the
Houstonians to evacuate the city
by the next train. In the mean-
time they bad found friends who
took them to the country.
All this may seem to some the
proper thing to do, but in our opin-
ion we should never attempt to
cross a stream before we reach it.
The Texas Democrat does not
believe that, under our climatic
conditions, fever could exist here,
and would like to see the bars
thrown flat on the grouud, and offer
an asylum for refugees from all
sections. Financially it would be
equal to one pension crop.
A WELL-SPENT LIFE.
Beautiful Tribute Paid to the
Memory of the Late Judge
Cook by His Life-long
Friend, Maj. Walton.
A beautiful tribute was that paid
to the memory of the late Judge
Gustave Cook by his life-long ‘
friend, Maj. W. M. Walton, of
Austin, Monday night, in response
to resolutions adopted by the Dis-
trict Court expressive of the esteem
and veneration in which his mem-
ory is held by the court and bar.
In beautiful and eloquent lang-
uage Maj. Walton told the story of
a life that was well spent, the life
of a man who, whether in social or
business relations, whether on the
field of battle or on the bench, did
his duty nobly and fearlessly,
stiiving not for the plaudits of
man, but for the approval of his
own conscience and of his Maker.
Judge Cook was not an ordinary
man, but was great in every sense
of the word. Endowed by nature
with a brilliant intellect, profoundly
learned in the mysteries of the law,
eloquent, and possessed of that
broad charity which the Apostle
Paul declared to be the greatest of
all virtues, he sought not to use his
gifts to his own advantage, but to
the up-lifting and ennobling of his
fellow men.

Citizens of Tennessee are raising
funds with a view to removing the
remains of the late General Sam
Houston to that state. The state
proposes to erect a flDe monument
over the great chieftain. We do
mot believe that the people of Texas
will sit tamely by and witness the
removal without any objection.
Houston and his history belong to
Texas, aud his relatives will hare
but little to say when it comes to
shangiug burying places.
Two Kansas City Judges arbitrate
matters with their fists. They fell
out over taxes being raised by the
board of equalization. Some of our
prominent cilizens were warm
■enough to use tne same kind of
arbitration recently, but cooler
considerations prevailed. It is
often the ease that when you hit a
man’s pocket book you hit his
heart.
Sam CoWan of the Lockhart
Phonograph takes a very gloomy
view of things. He is predicting a
great scourge for the people of
Texas during the next few weelrs.
He thinks yellow fever will invade
and darken in sorrow many Texas
homes. Sam your last night’s

factured of very bad spirits.

have risen above the ordinary run
of men ? His ancestors were good
old revolutionary stock, his mother
being of the Hampton and Herbert
families of South Caroliua. His
lather, Nathaniel Cook, was judge
of the District or Circuit Court of
Alabama for 25 years, having been
appointed to that position without
any solicitation on his own part,
and resigning of his own free will.
His ancestors fc«B£MNHKcr'can
liberty at K.in|^^TO(Hmffiin, con-
tended with the marauder Tarleton,
and were terrors to the Tories.
As a boy Judge Cook was not
studious or fond of books, preferr-
ing out-door amusements, and
filled with the spirit of adventure.
Thus at the age of 15 years he had
the merest rudiments of an educa-
tion. It was at this time that,
attracted by the romantic history of
au uncle, who was a grand aud
glorious patriot in the Texas
revolutionary war, and was killed
while in the service of the Republic
at the battle of the Alamo, the 15-
year-old boy resolved to try his
fortunes in the West Arriving in
Texas he found himself without
money and without friends, with-
out even an acquaintance west of
the Mississippi rtyer. But boy
though he was he was not long in
making the acquaintance of some
of the leading men and families of
that period of Texas history—the
Willies, McCullochs, Burlesons,
Bell, Burnet, Sherman, Lamar,
Gen. Houston and others, all being
numbered among his acquaintances
and friends, and from whom he re-
ceived much practical and valuable
advice.
It was his desire at this time to
go to Mexico and take part in some
of the many revoluions constantly I J*' ^1Cf1ae
occurring there, but wiser counsels found theR
prevailed, and he concluded to anJ
devote himself to the arts and vir- a"d m fat
portant field. There he came in
contact with the strongest bar in
the state, but to his credit be it
said, he was abreast with any of
them.
Ih 1872 he was elected to the
Legislature, and did valuable ser-
vice in that body. In 1874 he was
appointed by Gbv. Coke Judge of
the Criminal Court for the counties
of Harris and Galveston. In this
position he serired about 14 years,
and while he tried over 2,500 cases,
over 1,300 of which were appealed,
he was only reversed on three
occasions. What a wonderful
record was this!
In 1888 he resigned his position
as judge and recommenced the
practice of law, again meeting with
exceptionable success, but his
health gradually gave way, and he
sought a retreat at San Marcos,
where his latter days were spent,
beloved and honored by all who
knew him.
Upon the conclusion of Maj.
Walton’s address, Judge Teich-
mueller stated that he heartily sub-
scribed to everything that had been
said of Judge Cook, and stated that
while in conversation with Judge
Cook at one time, the latter
informed him that never had
he taken his seat on the bench
without having prayed for divine
guidance to enable him to arrive at
a just decision.
