BROWNSVILLE
7 TO HOUSTON
Passenger Service Is Delayed
- Until June
Road Not In Condition for Regular Ser
vice to Houston and Brazos. Bridge
Not Built To Bridge Rio Grande
At Browruyiller
According to an interview with
General Manager Jeff N. Miller of
the Brownsville road published in
the Galveston News it is not ex-
pected that passenger train service
between Brownsville and Houston
will be inaugurated until Juue.
As Mr. Miller informed the
News there still remain some
ninety-four miles of the road to
ballast and put in first-class condi-
tion and the big bridge across the
Brazos at Brazoria still remains to
be built. Until those improvements
are practically completed Mr.
Miller says there will be no an-
nouncement of passenger traffic.
Construction trains are now run-
ning the entire distance he says
but the road is in no condition to
withstand regular freight or pas-
senger traffic.
BFTDGK- AT BROWNSVILLE.
With respect to the bridge which
the Brownsville road and National
lines oftMexico are to build jointly
across the Rio Grande Manager
Miller informed the News that
there have been two surveys made
and the one across at Brownsyille
appears the better of the two. It
will necessitate somewhat more
expense and time he says but the
facilities acquired by it will be
much more beneficial to the roads
than the projected one at San
Miguel. . These arrangements are
also in a tentative situation he
declares and no definite statement
can be made as to when the com
pany will begin the construction
of the steel spau over the separat
ing river.
New Laboratory Flame.
A handy laboratory flame giving
an intense heat and adaptable to
many uses is obtained by G.
Meeker through an improvement
of the Bunsen burner for the
ordinary gas'jet. The new burner
insures complete combustion by a
double row of opening to admit the
air. Above tms tne pipe is
widened thus diminishing the rate
of escape of gas and air and
producing a perfectly homogene-
ous mixture. The burner tube has
on its top a perforated nickel cap.
dividing the openings into small
quadrants. This device breaks up
the large blue cone of the. ordinary
Bunsen burner and its place is
taken by the numerous small flames
from the openings in the cap
which unite to form a large
homogeneous flame of even heat
throughout. It is claimed that the
same amount of gas yields a
temperature at least 100 degrees
Centigrade higher than in the or-
dinary Bunsen burner.

AMATEUR BULL FIGHT.
Afforded Much Amusement For Both
Spectators and Bulls.
A fairly good crowd was out at
the bull ring in Matamoros yester-
day afternoon to witness the fight
by the amateur company from
Monterey. The fight (?) was
something oat of the usual order
of bull fights in that while it
afforded the spectators no end of
amusement it also served to amuse
the bulls likewise as the animals
had all the fun they wanted toss-
ing and tumbling the valiant ban-
delleros about while others of the
company showed considerably.
more agility and skill in getting
over the wall as the bulls turned
their attention to them than they
showed in attacking the animals.
Meanwhile the audience nearly
split its sides laughing. There
was no bloodshed not one of the
three bulls brought into the ring
being even wounded but if their
horns had not been sawed off
there would doubtless have been
considerable gore spilled by which
the fighters (?) would have been
the losers.
The Wounded Dove.
From the Brownwood Bulletin.
While the writer was walking
across a farm a day or two ago he
was attracted by a fluttering noise
in some leaves nearby and stopped
to see what caused it. A dove
with a broken wing was strug-
gling to get out of the way of harm
Its every movement showed that
it was thoroughly frightened and
that it was suffering from the
wounded wing. With the thought
of seeing if anything could be done
to relieve it the dove was caught
and examined. The wing had
been broken by some hunter who
had failed to find it and had left it
to suffer. As the bird was held
firmly in the hand for examina
tion and its feathers softly stroked
to allay its fear it looked ap
pealingly and pitifully as if beg
ging aid. The wound was such
that nothing could be done for it
furthe. than to let it take its
course and in time it will probab-
ly heal if the dove is not caught by
some dog But before it heals
there willbe days of suffering which
was caused solely by a desire to
kill something. You may say it
is a little thing to arouse the sym
pathies and perhaps it is but to
the writer it looks cruel to shoot
birds and wound them just for the
sake of killing something. The
dove especially which is noted for
being harmless and which does
less than anvother bird to protect
itself seems to be the special pre'
of man who is its only enemy. It
is the only bird that will not fight
other birds and a bird which no
other bird ever harms. The eggs
of all other birds are colored to
protect them from marauding
birds but those of the dove are
spotlessly white are laid in the
open and left uncovered and no
bird ever molests them. It is the
bird of peace the bird that served
as man's messenger to save the
race the bird which the Creator
selected to serve as His messenger
and the bird which only man will
molest. Call it sentiment if you
will but the influence of this
writer will always be for the
protection of the birds and especial
ly the cooing gentle harmless
dove.

A disastrous explosion in a steel
furn2ceat Pittsburg Pa. killed
thirtyfive laborers.
On Friday night last a pas-
senger arriving on the train froscs.
Lyford was Juan Rios a respect-
able old Mexican man who hasre
sided in Brownsville many years
who was coming to secure soma?
laborers to take back with him to--Lyford
where Rios has been work
ing. As he was leaving the sta-
tion with his bundle of clothes he-
was accosted by a Mexican whoss
he did not recognize who fonnd
what he was coming for and prob-
ably also discovered that Rios har&.
some money with him. This msns
told Rios he was going the wrong:
way to town and led the unsuspect-
ing victim down back of the sta-
tion into Riverside park where
knocked the old man. senseless
with a stick and robbed him of all
his money which was about $14.
Mexican coin and then threw hinr
and his bundle into a pond anc
fled. The cold water had the-
effect of reviving Rios who crawl-
ed out of the pond and made his-
way to town where he notified tBe
officers of the crime. To prove Ids
assertions there were the worrrjds
on his head inflicted with a heavy
stick apparently and his clothing
all wet from the .pond waiters
There is no clue to the perpetratosr
of this bold crime but it is to bet
hoped the officers may spare nvf
efforts to catch him and put him
where he belongs in the peniten-
tiary. The Man Who Laughs-
The man whose "ha!" BaF'

The man who spreads his laughtezr

and both of the twins come dowz
with the measles at the same that
he's the man that's needed. He
never tells his neighbor to have
faith. Somehow he puts no faitb
into him; he delivers no homilies:
the sight of his beaming face tit
sound of his happy voice and the
sight of his blessed daily life carry
couviction that words have so
power to give. The blues flee be-
fore him as the fog before the Yres
wind. He comes into his envnr

aud his wife and children blossom
in his presence like June noses.
