ST. PETERSBURG, December Sl.-The

emn ban on the new Catholic sect known as

is regarded by her followers as being the
reincarnation of the Virgin Mary; a priest.
Father Kovolska, and other Marvlte clergy.
The pontiff also threatens to excommuni-
cate all members of the sect unless they re-
cant within twenty days. The encyclical,

AFTER BUILDING AT MARLIN
Congressman Henry Will Ask for an
Appropriation of $100,000—Foraker
Will Urge Early Consideration
of the Brownsville Affair.
(Houston Post Washington Bureau.)
WASHINGTON, December 31.—Representa-
tive Gregg will introduce a bill as soon as
congress reconvenes, appropriating $925,000
for building a sea wall in front of Fort
San Jacinto, on the east end of Galveston
Island, and filling up with sand and other-
wise improving the 120 acres of government
ground there as a military park. Mr. Gregg's
bill will also ask for $35,000 to be expended
in a similar manner at Fort Travis, on Boli-
var Point. This work has been recommend-
ed by General Murray, chief of artillery.
Similar work is already in progress at Fort
Crockett, west of Galveston, under an ap-
propriation of $75,000 heretofore made.
Representative Henry will also introduce
a bill asking for $100,0o0 for a public building
at Marlin.
There is a general desire to rush the ap-
propriation bills before the wheels of legis-
lation get clogged, but as they are not yet
ready it will be necessary to take up another
matter Thursday, or adjourn over until
Monday.
Senator Foraker is anxious to get early
conspiration 0f his resolution for a fur-
therTTrtiuiry into the Brownsville affair. He
may conclude, however, not to bring the
matter up immediately after the recess, In
view of the probable light attendance.
The Rayner resolution regarding the con-
stitutional limitations of the power of the
executive is also pending. It la 'involved with
the Japanese question and is likely to lead
to a long constitutional debate.
THE PURE FOOD LAW LAID OUT.
Failure of Congress to Make Appropria-
tion Delays Its Operation.
<Houston i'oxt Washington Bureau.)
WASHINGTON, December 31.—"Failure
on the part of congress to make an appro-
priation to carry Into effect the pure food
and drugs act," said Dr. W. H. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the depart-
ment of agriculture, today, "will delay put-
ting into operation the machinery for
making the law effective. It will be a month
or six weeks, perhaps two months, before
our force can be organized on a working
basis. Just before congress adjourned for
the holidays, an appropriation of $250,000 was
made to be used for the enforcement of the
law up to July 1 next. I have asked the
civil service commission for seventy-five ad-
ditional employes to assist in the work. As
soon as they are certified and appointed we
will get to work vigorously.
"Thfc employes requested will be chemists
and inspectors. They will be used not only
in Washington, but in various parts of the
country. The list of ellgibles will not be
ready, perhaps, before the middle of Janu-
ary or the first of February. Utoder the
provisions of the civil service law, a tem-
porary force of employes might have been
appointed by the secretary of agriculture,
but it was deemed inexpedient to put tem-
porary employes in places of this kind, as
they scarcely would be able to learn their
duties before the civil service commission
presented a list for permanent appointment.
"It is expected that one or more of the
Inspectors will be stationed in each State.
They will be charged with the "f!uty of dis-
covering violations of the law and bringing
them to the attention of the secretary of
agriculture. The chemists will be employed
In various government laboratories to ex-
amine such food products as may be sub-
mitted to them.
"It is my desire," continued Dr. Wiley, "to
work. fO far as may be possible, in conjunc-
tion with the authorities of the various
Sta^s, many of which now have pure food
departments. In some instance's, perhaps,
we may be able to employ the State chem-
ists In our work, for the "work of both the
State and National authorities is toward a
common result. When if^se chemists dis-
cover impurities in, or adulterations of. food
products they will turn their analyses over
to us under the act of congress.
"While the pure food law is not in actus!
operation yet, it has been in force in an
important "way for several months. Manu-
facturers all over the country have been
adjusting their business to it and I am glad
to be able to say that the great majority
of them have shown a disposition to meet
the requirements of the law with as little
objection as could have been expected.'

BANNER BUGGY KINGS
BIG CHRISTMAS GIFT.
Russell E. Gardner, of St. Louis, Makes
Present of $15,000 in Gold to
His Employes.
Russell E. Gardner, the Banner Buggy
King, of St. Louis, always noted for doing
the unusual thing—both in the manufacturing
world and in private life—has said "Merry
Christmas" and "Happy New Year" to his
employes with a cash gift of $15,000.00.
Every one of the 500 people at Gardner's
Banner Buggy Works got from $5.00 up, ac-
cording to length and character of service—
and in gold.
"There's a time for giving money away as
well as for making It," said Mr. Gardner
wlit-n asked about the gift, "and this is my
time to give. This has been a banner, year
in the Banner Buggy business and I want
every employe to know that I feel grateful
for the service given, antl I didn't kuow
any better way to impress it on them than
by the little gift I have made. It isn't much
where there are so many, and it may not be
the best way to add to the holiday cheer, but
it's iny way."
Then Mr. Gardner chatted about his Ideas
of business and philanthropy, finance, poli-
tics. shipping rates, deep water from St.
Louis to the Gulf—he believes in a ship's
channel, believes It will be constructed and
bring the world's markets to the doors of
the great producing Middle West, help solve
the troublesome question of transportation
and be one of the greatest factors in the
promotion of the happiness and prosperity
of the country.
But of himself (except as his experiences
may help another man) Mr. Gardner talks
reluctantly.
He is a man of positive ideas, in his busi-
ness with ono idea—to turn out the best
buggy in the world for the least money—not
the least cost to himself, but to the con-
sumer.
"I don't believe in piling up a lot of money
that you can't use in a right sort of way,"
said lie once to a friend. "When you do that
you only make a target for some fellow to
shoot at—that is to squander the money after
you are gone, or take away before you die.
Af#er a man ijas got all the money he can
reasonably spend I think he's foolish to go
on piling up more just to make a big pile."
And Mr. Gardner is a rich man. He has
made his money himself in less than twenty
years, making Banner Buggies, after coming
to 8t. Louis a green country boy from a
farm In Tennessee.
Coming from the hickory timber country of
that State, he knew good buggy timber,
found It paid to know it, made a study of It
and began acquiring hickory timber land.
Today he Is the largest individual holder of
hickory timber lands in the United States—
and it is from hickory that the finest buggy
wheels and other parts are made.
Mr. Gardner is a genial man, likes his fel-
low man, likes to give him a good time. He
entertains much, keeps his yacht "Annie
Russell" under steam at his dock on the
Mississippi river all the time, and frequent-
ly takes large parties for trips of several
days duration.
He has one pet aversion—buggy drummers.
He won't have traveling salesmen—says they
are an unnecessary burden on the cost of
production—so cuts them off and relies on
the mails to reach his customers, and make
his sales at a cost of a few cents for postage
and gives the buyer the benefit of this
saving—in a reduced price on his Banner
Buggies.
convict farms
Details of Operation Will Be Treated
in Agent's Report.
PLACE FOR CONSUMPTIVES
Prisoners Thus Afflicted Are Used on
the Wynne Farm—Harlem Place Is
the Best Paying Proposition
of the System.
CHouston Post Special.')
AUSTIN, Texas, December 31.—The bien-
nial report on the State penitentiary sys-
tem, which will soon be issued from the
printers, will contain an interesting account
of the operation of the State convict farms
prepared by John L. Wortham, financial
agent.
1 he report says that the Wynne farm is
used as a home for consumptive convicts.
1 hey are given employment in the open air
2 ,..?re not brought into contact with the
healthy convicts. The farm consists of about
-000 acres, of which about 500 fferes are in
cultivation. The farm is devoted principal-
ly to raising vegetables, fruits, melons and
forage crops for the use of the Huntsville
prison.
In reference to the William Clemens con-
vict farm, Mr. Wortham says that the poor
crop yields of former years was largely due
to lack of drainage. This condition has been
Improved and the yield this year was good.
He urges that a line of railroad should be
built from the farm to connect with the St.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico.
The Harlem convict farm, he says, is one
of the best paying propositions of the peni-
tentiary system. It is well adapted to grow-
ing of sugar cane and is directly on the rail-
road, thus entailing less expense in handling
the crop. The year 1903 was one of the
smallest crops the farm ever produced. The
crops of 1904 and 1905 were excellent and the
outlook for 1906 is good. He compliments the
wisdom of the legislature in making appro-
priation for a sugar mill for this farm. The
mill also does customs grinding for adjacent
plantations, the revenue for ly05 from that
source amounting to $15,000, and for 1906 it
will be equally as much.
He says that the women's convict farm,
under the management of Captain J. G. Bow-
den, is moving along in a smooth and sat-
isfactory manner.
Mr. Wortham urges the abandonment of
the convict lease system. He says that as
revenue producers the contract convict forces
have been satisfactory, about 1700 having
been so employed during the two years. He
suggests that the legislature make an ap-
propriation to provide for the < ^^blishment
of manufacturing industries and u,e purchase
of additional lands to provide for the em-
ployment of the convicts that are now let
out by contract. He urges the erection of a
cotton and bagging factory at Huntsville as
early as possible.
THE NEW AND OLD GOVERNORS.
Campbell Preparing to Take Charge
and Lanham Ready to Retire.
(Houston Post Special.)
AUSTIN, Texas, December 31.—The delay
(►f Governor-elect Campbell In announcing
the remainder of his appointments is not
understood here. It is believed by many
that if he contemplated making any further
changes he would have certainly notified the
present office holders by this time In order
that they might be given opportunity to ar-
range their affairs for Uirning over their re-
spective offices and to secure other employ-
ment.
Colonel Campbell is said to be working on
his inaugural address and message. While
his fiscal policy is already known In a gen-
eral way, it is expected that he will mak«
many recommendations for legislation as to
minor matters not contained in the platform
cf the party or discussed in his campaign
feeeches. These recommendations may not
be embraced in his first message, but they
can be supplemented by special messages
from time to time.
Governor Lanham is looking forward with
pleasurable anticipation to his relief from
official cares. His health is greatly im-
proved and he promises to have many years
of usefulness before him after he retires
from the office of chief executive. He has
large business interests to which he will de-
vote Ills attention when he retires to private
life. He and Mrs. Lanham will go direct
from Austin to their old home at Weather-
ford, where they will reside among their old
time friends. The marriage of their son,
Frank, and daughter, Miss Grace, and the
departure of their other and only unmarried
son, Fritz, for 131 Paso and other WTestern
points, will leave the family depleted to Gov-
ernor and Mrs. Lanham.
