goras, which are reared for their
wonderful fleeces, were first
brought to this country from
Asia Minor. Within recent years
nearly all of those imported have
been from South Africa.
The. Angora goat is a very
beautiful creature—milk-white,
with spirally twisted horns and
silvery wool arranged in long
ringlets over the whole of its
body, so as to look as if curled
on a curling stick. It seems to
have been originally a wild Per-
sian species, but was first reared
for its fleece -in the Angora dis-
trict among the Taurus • moun-
tains. Its wool was spun by the
Israelites in the time of Moses,

board are expected to be in fav-
or of the proposition, and it is
hoped to have the ground broken
for the actual building early in
the calendar year.
The first big. building of the
sanitarium, or the group of build-
ings; if a cottage plan shajl be
determined, is to cost from $300, -
000 to $500,000. The million-dol-

Houston, Tex., Feb. 3.—That
the United States navy has its
full complement of men, and that
^ncle San-Ts big battlers, of the

that Louis Frommer, the; local

received a telegram from the de-,

him that no more, recruits be ac-

will be for adding to the endow-

Steamboats at Victoria.
- Big river steamers will ply the
Guadalupe river from Victoria to
the gulf and this inland city will j
have direct waterway connection j
with all seaports within the next
eight or ten months, according to
Thomas A. Shaffer of Victoria.
‘‘The river is now being dredg-
ed and deepened by government
barges, ” said Mr. Shaffer at the
Gunter hotel last night, “and
deep water will be had at Vic-
toria in the near future.”
“The; deepening of the Guada-
