HIS FATHER'S SON.
The Younger |rving in Every Way
Worthy of the Name.
The younger Irving is not seeking
to trade upon his father’s name —he
even announces himself as ”H. B.
Irving"—and there is no reason why
he should for his own achievements
place him in the front rank of his con-
temporaries. He has the big way
with him. the air of authority so
difficult to define so easily recog-
nized that distinguishes the really
great players from the mediocre ones.
He Impresses one as having Intellect-
ual force and powerful emotions; he
reads blank verse with beautiful skill
and his carriage has that superb dig-
nity so characteristic of his father.
He' does not loot unlike the cider
Irving; he has the same clear-cut
classical features the scholarly brow
the fine eyes His voice is fine; but
he uses it less effectively than did
the elder his weak voice. Plainly he
has schooled himself to avoid Henry
Irving’s mannerisms and in the main
he succeeds admirably yet there are
little likenesses that creep in unaware
to call up pleasant memories of the
master who is gone.—Every bodys.

NOVEL PLEA MADE BY MAN AC-
CUSED OF NOT PAYING
HACK HIRE.
SMALL POLICE COURT
Only 8 Offenders Before Judge Buck-
ley This Morning and He Imposed
Fines to Amount of Only $23.
Twenty three dollars in fines and
eight cases disposed of. was the record
ot the corporation court this morning.
W. R. Doocey C. L. Decelies and
Louis Christoph all fell off the waler
wagon where they had been riding
up next to the driver and landed In
the arms of a blue coat. They each
plead guilty to being drunk in a quiet
way and got the regulation of one
plunk each for their tun.
Louisa White and Lula Jackson two
"Darktown" belles were up on a
charge of vagrancy. They were taken
In by on Ki man. Each plead
guilty to the charge and got two pack-
ages valued at five bucks per.
William Henry whom the police call
’’Castor Oil Bill" came next charged
with refusing to pay a hack bill and
the strange part of It was that "Castor
Oil Bill” claimed that he did not know
that he had been riding in a hack;
that he had a small ‘‘Jag" on and he
did not know whether he was riding
or walking. Tie said he supposed that
he had been riding in something last
night for he felt queer this morning
and his feet were slightly sore and
this was new with him.
The Judge asked him if he wanted
to pay the hack bill and he said he
had no objections to coming across
w“h the dough to the cabby if he had
the pi ice but at this special time he
was somewhat troubled with the shorts
and could no( make good.
The hack driver who preferred the
charge against him last night did not
appear this morning and "Castor Oil
Bill" was told to go his way. which
he did with a smile on his face as long
as a Michigan search warrant
THE RAILROAD SUITS
Further Arguments Made Before
Judge Maxey by Companies
Attorneys.
Siieclal to The Light.
Austin. Tex. Nov. 28.-Arguments
were resumed this morning in the
railroad injunction suits before Fed-
eral Judge Maxey.
Judge Freeman of the Texas Ar r a-
cific railroad opened the case today.
He argued that there should be no
limitations on earnings so long as
they are not extortionate; value of
services rendered should be fully re-
ceived. He defined a reasonable rate
as being one that would permit free
movement of traffic so that the com-
pany may receive compensation for
service performed.
Judge J. W. Terry of the Santa Fe
followed along the same lines.
This will ilkely end the railroad ar-
gument and the state will reply this
afternoon. The court announced that
there will be no session tomorrow.

The Carriage.
Out In the street this afternoon
I saw a carriage pass
Quite different from the other ones.
With sides all made of glass:
And it was long and not so wide.
And white instead of black.
With lots and lots of common ones
All riding at its back.
But this one was much prettier
With tassels on the ends;
And all inside were flowers like
The ones that uncle sends;
And so my mamma could see too
I tried to hurry fast
But then she wouldn't let me out
Until they all had passed.

pleton's Magazine.

TO MAKE CLEAN SWEEP?
Belief Grows at Waco That Campbell
Will Clean Out All State Offices.
Special to The Light.
Waco Tex. Nov. 27.—The belief Is
growing here that Governor T. M.
Campbel) really intends to make a
clean sweep in The departments at
Austin and there is praise or criticism
of the act Just according to the mo-
tive which Is conceived to be at tho
bottom. Those who think that the
governor wants to put in men who
arlll be certain to discharge all the
duties devolving on them in their re-
spective departments and upon whom
he can rely compliment the governor
on the proposed policy. On the other
hand those who think that he merely
aims to put in his friends for friend-
ship's sake of because they helped
him to secure the governorship are
censuring him sharply saying that
these places were never Intended to
be simply prize poles for getting into
office and sources of power for thoso
who might seek the high office of gov-
ernor; they say it is all right to look
after one's friends to a certain extent
but this should not be carried too far
and the supremo object of the gover-
nor should be to secure efficiency
therefore some of the old department
heads should Ofrely be left undls-
Whlle there is a considerable school
of those who say “Look after your
friends." there is also a good show n?
of those who believe that ‘ something
is due the state" In the matter of
these political favors and distribution
of positions.

TURKEYS RUSH
TO THEIR DOOM
MANY HUNDREDS HAVE PASSED
THROUGH CITY TO MARKETS
IN THE NORTH.
THE RAILROAD NEWS
Number of Knights of the Rall Visit-
ing In San Antonio Today.—Prof.
Attwater Pleased With Fair.
Hundreds of turkejs the national
Thanksgiving birds have been pass-
ing through this city on their way to
eastern and western markets and to
their final doom upon the table ol th e
epicure. During the last few da? s
the d
been crowded with turkeys in a rusn
to reach their destination before to-
morrow's celebration is pulled oh.
Many of these turkeys came from
the surrounding country some from
the southeast districts of the state and
some from as tar west as El Paso. It
seems that of recent years the north
has had a tendency to bring Texas
turkeys to their country owing proi>-
ably to the delicacy as advanced some
time ago by tha Farmers' Institute of
this city.
Texas has a reputation for the deli-
cacy of the meat ol its turkeys whlSh
has become ihe envy of the less for-
tunate states. The reason of this is
attributed to the fact that Texas tur-
keys are fed in the open the year
round while the turkeys of the north
owing to the cold weather are requir
ed to be kept indoors causing It is
contended the meat to become tough
and less toothsome than the Texas
fowl.

SLEEPING CAR RATES.
Railroad Commission Take* Up th*
Proposition to Reduce Them.
Special to The Light.
Austin Tex. Nov. 28.—The proposi-
tion to reduce sleeping car rates on
Pullman sleepers was taken up this
morning before the railroad commis-
sion. A letter was read from E. 8.
Peters Calvert of the Farmers union
I favoring the proposed reduction. Gen-
eral Attorney Miller of the Katy de-
clared the railroads would insist upon
। their points that the commission has
no authority or law to compel rail-
roads to transport sleeping cars; that
the higher courts of Texas have de-
cided that the-contract* between the
railroads and the Pullman company
j by the ierms of which the contracts
I are exclusive and by which the Pull-
' man company has the right to fix Its
I rales are valid. Judge Miller con-
' tended ihar the railroads have nothing
I to do with the transportation of pas-
sengers so far as sleeping car accom-
modations are concerned.
W. G. Crush general passenger
agent of the Katy was the first wit-
ness. He contended that no railroad
if it operated its own sleepers could
permit its cars to go off of its own
line. He had never heard of alleged
excesaivencss of sleeping car charges
There are no important differences
in rates in Texas and In other states
he said.
At this point the commission took a
recess.
