lowber last nltfht preicheil on "Thfi Trembling: Governor," taking his text from the twenty-rlfth Averse ol Acts, xxlv: "Paul reasoned of riKhteousnese, temperance aad judgment to come. Felix trembled, and said: At a more convenient season 1 will call for thee." In his Introductory remarks Dr. Ixwber gaid that he had announced his subject a week -ago, and before the governor of Texas had trembled in the waters of the gulf. The doctor said in substance: "Governors do not usually go to hear preaching. It was by strange providence Cim Paul was brouRht before Felix, and that Felix was brought before Paul.

Preachers do not usually go to (rovernors and rulers, because they, as a rule, do not listen, and the preacher does not want his message rejected. Spurgeon was the greatest preacher in England, and even Queen Victors never heard him. It is said that none of tho royal family ever entered the Kntit -tabernacle. FeJix -would not have heard Paul 11' Paul had not have been brought before him as a. prisoner." Dr.

then explained the terms righteousness, temperance and judgment to come. "Temperance in this said he, "does not mean abstinence from Intoxicating drinks. It means self control. Felix and DruslUa certainly lacked self control. Felix had been a slave, and had lioen elevated by the young emperor to the position of the governor of Judea.

Drusllla belonged to the Herodian family, had Inherited all the vices of thai I family. A sorcerer by the name of Simon, possibly Simon Magnus, had persuaded her to leave her ldwfu.1 husband and live with Felix thft governor.

Her maiden name was Anna Eliza Outtesede. She was married to Mr. Wootl when she 16 years of awe and he hardly of age. In October, 1839, tho young couple left the vast for GaU veston, but the vessel upon which they sailed went to old Velasco by mistake. Jlr.

wood started a tlu shop, but soon gave it up and came overland to Qalves- ton the following year. Here -he established himself as a tinner on Tremont, between Mechanic and Market. Gradually he put in retail hardware, until hif main business was re-tailing hardware. In time he built up a big Wholesale business, and at the time of his death he was estimated to' be worth a half million. The result of his marriage was eleven children.

Those who are living are Mrs. H. Naylor of Golveston, Frank P. Wood of San Antonio. Henry R.

About 3000 people Kathered on the (Beach laivn yesterday afternoon to witness the dive of Speedy from the top of the -Beach hotel into the big artificial pool below. While Speedy stqod attired in all the glory of gorgeous tights on the board from which he was to make his dive, his partner mounted one corner of the artificial pool and complained bitteKy about the size of the collection.

The dive was made safely, as usual, and caused little thrills to chase one another up and down hundreds of spinal cords. He will dive again Tuesday. hive to preach before a few'persons. Pau preached to Felix a-nd not convert either. in conclusion Lowber presented the following points: The Laocoon, one of the greatest worktt of Grecian nrt, shows how the serpents luul their victims completely bound.

The doctor is ao pleased with he new country in which he has located that hlfl enthusiasm has bubbled over in lommunicatfons to newspapers of national mportance.

Dorothy Morton was by far the chief attraction of 'the She presented the leading soprano character, Francesca, the fencing master.

This Is her Hrst season In this part. Last year she sang In De Koven's Miss Morton Is a beautiful, shapely and sprightly little woman. Her figure is as graceful and trim in outline as a Venetian vase. She possesses In full degree all the personal charms required for success in this character. Beyond this, she Is an accomplished singer nnd a careful artist.

Her voice is clear, full, flexible, of great rantre unu ijerieutly under control, it has a thrilling and sympathetic quality. It comes forth with delightful ease, but It fills all the house with melody. Her 'Rose' aria was a triumph nnd her encores of the evening were a 'dozen in number. To every demand she yielded with amiable readiness. Harry Brocket and David Torrence shared with Miss Morton the evening's honors.

Both are sweet singers and fnmlllnr with the demnnds of Htnf" The chorus is well trained and the costumes are very pretty. The music of this opera Is deservedly popular. It melodi- out all through, with many strains almost sadly sweet, and has that rhythmic swing which delights all classes of people." PERSONAL. James T. Cole of Dallas Is at the Tremont.
