Houston, May 1.—Officers are at-
tempting to identify the body of a
woman found tost night' beside a
street car line in Magnolia Park, a
suburb. It is believed the woman was
sitting beside the tracks and fell 'un-
der a car. She way apparently about
40 years old.
Mrs. Rogers, the only woman
member yet to delve into the compli-
cations of this legislation, contended
also that the cotton industry will suf-
fer further because the* equalization
fee, operating like the tariff, will
greatly increase the price of Egypt-
ian, Chinese and Peruvian cotton,
which is necessary in making certain
types of goods.

effects of this wonderful meeting.
Eternity alone can measure the re-
sults of the revival. Dr. Coale’s ser-
mons were clear, - foreeful and to the
point. Like the apostle Paul he was
“determined to know nothing among
you, save Jesus Christ, and Him cru-
cified.” Jesus was held up as “the
way, the truth and the life” in every
senpon, and results cannot help but
follow.
I>r Coale and his messages will be
remembered for ,a long time in Bren-
hajn. Surely a man of God has been
aniong us, and his labors will be last-
ing—not to all of course as that is
never the case.
Mr. Cohen’s work as choir director,
soloist as well as personal worker
and worker with the children was
very satisfactory, and will be as abid-
ing as that of the evangelist. He en-
deared himself to all those who came
to know and appreciate him and his
great work. Truly these men of God
have wought a great work among
us and Brlnham should feel under
everlasting obligations to them.
