JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
U. S. Supreme Court Sajs Railroad
Must Pay for Burned Cotton.
Washington D. C May 4. The
Supreme Court today affirmed with
costs the findings of the Federal
Court for the Eastern District of
Texas in the case of Samuel E.
Watson against the Texas & Pacific
Railroad.
Watson owned sixty-four bales of
cotton which were destroyed by fire
at Clarksville Tex. The cotton had
been stored in a warehouse near the
tracks and Watson claimed the fire
had been started by sparks from a
railroad engine. The company
contended that Watson assumed
the risk when he stored the cotton
so close to the tracks. The lower
courts gave Watson a judgment for
$2007.
DIET OF WORMS.
'Delicacy Sold On Streets of Mexico
City Now.
Maguey worms are for sale upon
the streets at two messes for a quar
ter. These resemble large "grub"
worms as well as anything else and
are considered an excellent relish
by those who like them. Frfed in
butter or served a la ranchera
there is nothing daintier at least
so .think those who are fond of
them. Eaten alive they form as
daintv a meal as could be wished J
One can then be certain that he
eats likcTa bird. This has no con-
nection lynvever with the historic
"Diet" gf ' Worms." Tlie maguey
worm is gathered off the plant of
that name and brought to town
wrapped in the skinny portion of
the leaf of the same plant. If a pos-
sible purchaser shows signs of be-
ing skeptical as to the edibility of
the unsightly things the vendor
will select a large lucious looking
larva from the squirming mass and
eat it with a great show of gusto.

not happened since the bloody
davs of the French revolution.
Fortunately this last massacre was
bloodless. The heraldic office of the
kingdom of Italy has been over-
hauling the rolls of the nobility
and every claim to hereditary rank
has been scrutinized .by experts
historians genealogists and jurists
with the result that a large number
of marquises counts and even
princes have received notice that
they are merely commoners- The
entire "Blanck" nobility (those
which owe their rank to the popes)
have been struck off the list; like-
wise the great (meaning numerous)
nobility created by the kings of
Naples. Another large class which
has suffered is that which owes its
rank to the numerous deposed and
fugitive sovereigns of the Bdurbon
family whose titles are now legally
extinct'. Is seems that the king of
the Two Sicilies the grand duke of
Tuscan- the four sovereign dukes
of Parma Modena Calabria and
Este the prince ofjBenevento and
others- have thought that they
could at least create nobles. Hence-
forth it will be all the more neces-
sary to examine carefully the titles
of our distinguished Italian visi-i
tors. Mexican. Herald

INTEREST IN
OYSTER CULTURE.
It is noted with pleasure that tb
subject of oyster culm is now-
attracting more attention than any-
time within the pa.-t five years. Sir
or seven years ago shortly after
the fish and oyster law became
effective there were two or three
companies formed and some ex-
tensive beds were planted. But the
promoters of the industry made s.
serious mistake in selecting thelc
grounds. In some places they
located on natural reefs which Is
contrary to the letter and spirit of
the law although it has never been
quite clearly understood what
constitutes a natural reef. At any
rate the fishermen paid little at-
tention to the threats and warnings
of the owners and locators of sucfc
beds and the planted oysters were
taken up as public property. Con-
sequently the planters realize no
profit from their enterprise but
suffered loss of their work an
investment. Since that time nofc
much attention has been given to
the actual work of oyster planting.
Some claims have been located eada.
year but little has been done toward
development in the waters of
Calhoun county.
In this respect the people here
are "sleeping on their rights" and
it wil) 00 necessary for newcomers
to take the initiative in oystec
industry the same as in other
enterprises. Right now there are
four gentlemen in Port Lavaca who
came from other parts of the state
only a few weeks ago and -who are
now preparing to locate claims and
plant oysters in Chocolate bay.
Their enthusiasm on the subject
has aroused new interest among the
old settlers and it is ljkely there -will
be brisk work when the plant- -ing
season opens.
Chocolate bay offers exceptional
advantages as oyster planting
grounu. It is within from two to
three miles of Port Lavaca and
contains a vast area of bottom
suitable for the growth of good
oysters. The reefs of Sand Point
and Old Town only seven miles
distant afford abundance of young
cost is
are often idle so that the
comparatively light.
Extreme caution will doubtless
be used hereafter in selecting ground
Tor oyster claims in order to avoid
natural reefs. It has been suggest-
ed that the oysterraen should ap-
point a committee from among
themselves who will co-operate
with the fish and oyster commis-
sioner and furnish definite infor-
mation concerning the exact loca-
tion of the natural reefs. Thon the
men who earn their Jiving from the
open waters will feel as though
their rights have been respected and
will deal honestly with the'plant-
ers. Instead of violating the laws
they will probably lend their aid
toward its enforcement. Port ' La-

Hix "What's the answer?'
Dix "In buying clothes on the
installment plan he knows (her
