and for the entertainment of the dis-
tinguished guest are not as yet com-
plete, but will be announce later. It is
known, however, that one of his lec-
tures, possibly some time during the
day on the 21st, will be for men only.
While Gov. Glenn comes to Galveston
under the auspices of the home missjon
work of the Presbyterian church, the
lectures will be public and every citi-
zen of Galveston is cordially invited
to attend and hear the noted orator
and to take a part in the work for the
uplifting of mankind.
creates the condition now existing,
every light in the harbor being out,
and the condition is considered a very
serious one for this harbor.
Maritime men say that Galveston is
now of sufficient importance to have a
boat devoted exclusively to the work
of this harbor; that it could be kept
busy all of the time and that the serv-
ice that it would render would mean
much for the port. It is estimated that
$75,000 would provide such a boat and
a movement is now on foot to ask for
an appropriation for such. •
With the harbor lights burning it
would be possible for a vessel to leave
at any time, day or night, the same as
they do in New York, but with them
out a vessel is compelled to lay over
for 12 unnecessary hours, or anchor
out in the roads, which is said to have
been done on two or three occasions.
The attention to these lights is much
needed and is necessary in connection
with the other work now being done
on the channel. One of the pilots who
came in this morning with an arriving
ship reported that there was now a full
*0 feet of water over the Galveston
bar, and that the work of the dredges
Galveston and Comstock was such that
In a very short time this depth woITld
be attained for all time, except on the
occasion of an unusual low tide.
Galveston and her growing import-
ance as one of the leading ports of t*ie
United States i^ at present seriously
handicapped by a lack of attention to
the light bouys which guard the en-
trance to the harbor. There are lo-
cated in Galveston harbor 12 of these
lights, and, according to the word' of a
well-known pilot this morning, the
lights in every one of these has been
out now for over a week.
This is a serious condition of affairs,
according to the informant, and it
means that the making of the channel
is at night a hazardous undertaking,
and were it not for the fact that the
pilots have by long experience become
so accustomed to the channel that they
could steer a boat -through it with their
eyes shut there would be a big possi-
bility of grounding a vessel.
These buoys, which are lighted by
gas, have to be taken up once in every
three or four months, and as there' is
no place in this city to charge them
they are shipped away, charged and
then brought back, and replanted. The
buoy boat which attends to this rrAt-
ter is located at New Orleans and it
has the coast of three states to at-
tend to, making it impossible for her
to come here as often as she should.
The arrival of the buoy boat is ex-
pected every day, but there is no cer-
tainty as to when it will come and
until it does the present condition must
continue. The boat upon arrival will
pick up the dead bouys and, owing to
the necessity of shipping them to the
filling point, still another delay will re-
sult before they can be filled, shipped
back and replanted. .
It is this lack of facilities which

onded by Mr. Sealy and his election
made unanimous.
President Lovenberg was authorized
to arrange for the taking of the school
census in May and to pay five cents
per name to the enumerators—the state
allows only three cents but the board
always has to pay out more money to
have the work done properly.
President Lovenberg announced th«
appointment of Mr. League on the com-
mittee on school property to succeed
Cant. Alvey.
The board informally discussed the
shelling of grounds of the Alamo, San
Jacinto and the East End District
schools and the committee will report
on this matter at the regular meeting;
bids having been invited by the com-
mittee.
