Rev. Mother Mary Joseph, assistant-
general of the Ursullnes, arrived in San
Antonio last night fiom Laredo, where
she visited the convent of the order of
that place. The reverend mother comes
to this country from Home and is mak-
ing a visitation of the I'rsulinc communi-
ties in this province. She arrived in this
city last Thursday night from Dallas,
after having visited the houses of the
order from Illinois, and from here pro-
ceeded to Laredo. She leaves this morn-
ing for Galveston and will remain there
until she leaves for New York in time
to sail from that port for Naples on the
steamship Europa on Aug. 14, on her re-
turn journey to Rome.
Mother Joseph is well known in all
parts ^ot Texas a net has many friends
anion®* ell crecds and classes in tlie Lone
Star State. She passed her girlhood in
Galveston and many of the most
prominent ladies of the Island City were
her classmates at school. For many
years she was superior of the Ursuline
community at that p'ace.
During the terrible storm which de-
stroyed Galveston on that never to be
forgotten date, Sept. o, 1900, Mother
Joseph endeared herself to the citizens
of the Island City in a way which will
never lv; forgotten. Those who were in
Galveston en the night of the terrible
storm, when the Ursuline Convent be-
came a haven of refuge for all who were
swept in its direction by the tidal wave,
will always revere the strength and
courage displayed by the reveretd
mother. Not only by her deeds of mercy
to the S'ck and maimed did she endear
herself, however, biu Galvestonians will
always remember how, when ruffians,
driven to desperation by the horrors of
the night, sought to carry the spirit of
riot and despair in the convents, this
gentle l'ttle nun faced the horror-mad-
dened crowd, finding inspiration in the
tolling of the chapel bell. The clang of
the bell sounding al r,v.> fho roar of th-
elements had a nuiotlng effect mil
Mother Joseph, pulling at the cord, cre-
ated a calm where chaos had existed.

FLORAL OFFERINGS
MANY AND BEALT1FLL
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning funeral
services were conducted at the Gunter
home, 305 West Mistletoe Avenue, and
within the same hour the body of Jot
Gunter was laid to rest in City Cemetery
No. 6.
The gathering of friends included the
Governor of Texas, Senator J. W. Bailey,
members of the Railroad Commission,
Congressman Slayden, judges, legisla-
tors, county and city officials and many
others notable in the affairs of the South-
west. It was an assemblage such as has
probably never been seen in this city on
a previous occasion for a like service. It
was an acknowledgement of the high
character and sterling virtues in life of
the man then dead. Around, the bier were
men who had known the kindness of their
dead friend and who came thus to place
their small offering upon the grave of
the departed.
Rev. K. 1). Mouzon, pastor of the Travis
Park Methodist Church, preached the fu-
neral oration, which was an unwavering
tribute to the dead. H" commended the
sterling qualities of Mr. Gunter, spoke of
his faith in Divine Providence and the
fortitude of the departed in the face of
the inevitable. He spoke also of the
never-failing loyalty of the man to his
friends throughout his life.
At the close of the funeral oration the
honorary pallbearers, led by Governor
Campbell and Mayor Callaghan, took
their station on either side of the steps,
while the Confederate Camp, under com-
mand of F. F. Collins, lined up along the
walk leading to the gate. The active
pallbearers, consisting <>f \\\ B. Munson,
Senator J. \V. Bailey, John Summerfield,
T. B. Jones, J. B. Armstrong, Dr. Amos
Graves Jr. and L. M. Tuck, tenderly lifted
the heavy casket, buried beneath a per-
fect wilderness of flowers, and carried it
through the line of the guard to the wait-
ing hearse.
An escort of four mounted policemen
led the funeral procession. Following
these were the carriages bearing the
members of the City Council; next came
a carriage bearing the honorary pallbear-
ers. Many relatives and friends were In
the line and the procession was of great
length. '
The services at the grave were very
brief, and despite the heat of the morning
sun the crowds stood with bared heads
while the remains of the distinguished
citizen were lowered to rest. Great num-
bers of floral offerings of infinitely beau-
tiful designs were banked upon the grave.
Among the offerings was one from the
Daughters of the Confederacy, typical of
the dead man's service through the war
of 1861-65.
Practically all of those who came from
a distance to attend the funeral departed
from the city last night, bearing with
them a distinct sense of personal and
community loss. They bore with them
a realization of the certainty of fate, but
a sense of rebellion over that fate which
snaps the thread of life and closes the
careers of great men like Jot Gunter.

HEARNE. Tex., July 19.—In conversa-
tion with several of Robertson County's
most prominent planters this week it is j
A.^L. Matlock <>f this city, in speaking
of a proposed railroad from San Antonio
to the Southwest, said yesterday after-
noon :
"The people of San Antonio should not
tie themselves up on ;i proposition to
build a railroad unless that proposition
names a definite place to which the line J
will run, a definite time for the inception I
of operations, and a definite date for the
completion of the work. Such a proposi-
tion will be put up to the citizens of San
Antonio within a very short time, with
sutficient money and guarante« a behind
it to insure its success."
Further than this Mr. Matlock could
make no statement at this time as the
present state of the matter would not
warrant it. However, it is known con-
clusively that such a proposition will be
made and that the sum of $300,000 is
waiting to finance the road when the
hour is ripe.
This is the bonus offered by the Sim-
mons ranch interests in Live Oak and
Atascosa Counties.
It is proposed to run thip road through
Atascosa County, hating Pleasanton,
thence south to Kingsville or Browns-
ville or southwest to Eagle Pass. The
projectors of the road state that the
point to be reached in the Southwest
portion of the State is of secondary con-
sideration and that the main idea is to
build the road. This is the line in which
Jordan Campbell is interested. The < iti-
zcijs of Atascosa County are particularly
interested in the route and state that
they intend to have the road if it is an
interurban.
It is stated that this road will be built
whether Mr. Lott's proposition goes
through or not. It is understood that Mr.
Lott does not plan a road through Atas-
cosa County, which Is the route wanted
by the other builders. It is understood
that the proposition will be ripe in two
weeks. The transportation committee of
the Business Men's Club held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and discussed the
matter, but no decision was arrived at.
COMPETITION FOR PULLMAN.
Texas Central Railroad Co. Buys
Three Sleeping Cars From a Com-
pany Located at St. Charles, Mo.
That the Pullman Company will have
opposition in the manufacture of sleep-
ing cars is now certain, since it is
learned through a traveling representa-
tive that a St. Charles, Mo., company is
now manufacturing sleeping cars of a
very excellent pattern, said to be superior
to the Pullman coaches. The representa-
tive referred to, who was at the Menger
Hotel yesterday, exhibited diagrams of
the interior of the car. The upper berths
are so arranged that they connect with
the open air by screen just as do the
lower berths on Pullmans. They do not
show the bulky effect in the region of
the upper berths as do the Pullmans.
The Texas Central Railway has pur-
chased three of the cars for use on that
road. The berths will sell at the rate of
$1.50 for the lowers and $1.00 for the up-
pers. Tii«» representative of the company
is of the opinion that he will sell a great
number of the cars to Texas railroads.
It is the general opinion that the only
thing standing in the way of open and
active competition with the Pullman
Company is the fact that the systems
and large trunk lines will find i> impos-
sible to use the cars for l'ear of a boy-
cott bv the Pullman Company and a re-
fusal to exchange traffic or to supply
Pullmans for throu^n runs. However,
on the smaller roads the competition is
certain, anu it is said that some of the
roads in the Southwest will buy some of
this rolling stock.

SAN ANQELO WOOL.
J. R. Hamilton Talks of Sheep-Rais-
ing as It Is Practiced Today in
The Concho Country. %
J. R. Hamilton, one of the largest wool
producers in th? San Angelo district,
is at the Southern. He said last night
that San Angelo is now growing at an
extruriely rapid rate and that the out-
look for the wool industry is unusually
satisfactory.
"In rc und numbers San Angelo pro-
duces 3,C00,000 poi nds of wool annually,"
said Mr. Hamilton, "and this year's crop
will he a good one. Of course this wool
is not }.ll raised near sAn Angelo, for
many of the ranches are 200 miles away,
but practically all of It is brought to
San Angelo as a shipping point.
"Priccs tor wool are now better than
they hr.ve been in many years. This is
because the supply is Just a little less
than tho demand, anrLas it takes an ex-
perienced man to ran?o sheep and get
wool the business is not overcrowded. I
believe that we will continue to get tho
best of prices on wool for many years.
"Few people have any idea of the care
that must be exercised in raising sheep.
They cannot be turned upon the ranga
free like cattle, but they must be watched
and .veil cared lor.
"One of the main reasons that tho
sheep ranges are so far from the town
of San Angelo is because the sotol plant
is only found in those parts. This plant
has a head something like cabbage ari l
is fed to the sheep. They thrive, on it
and uia n a person has a good sotol
range, it he knows anything about rais-
ing shet p. his fortune is assured."
in speaking of San Angelo as a city
Mr. Hamilton said that when he went
there tcr. years ago the town onlv ho.l
•iOOO peop'e, but that it now has 11.000. Ho
also says tha' it is still growing and
that Ji"W industries are coming In every
tiny, lh believes that San Angelo will
som^ day be the Ban Antonio of th*
Concno country.
