and the case will doubtless be close

in the outcome.

It is understood that the
Brownsville Land and Improve-

ned the lots has given money to
various families who are thus
to move their humble
Odes. There are about eighteen
ai.ies living on the ground and
homes are chiefly jacals

will be presented and will-no doubt
be very thoroughly appreciated.
The price of admission will be 25
cents U. S. reserved seats 10 cents
additional. Tickets will be on sale
at Putegnat's drugstore. Ice cream
and cake will be served at the con-
clusion of the performance for 25
cents Mexican money. Further an-
nouncement as to the program will
be published later.
. An auction sale was held yester-
day afternoon at four o'clock at the
Baptist Mission at which the
remainder of the household goods
of Rev. Ueid Hale were closed out.
An object of interest in Browns-
ville at present is a century plant
that is blooming in' the yard of
Capt. R. Dalzell. This plant which
is a species of the maguey of Mexico
does not bloom but once and not
until it is man' years old though
something less than a century and
after it has borne its blossom the
plant dies. The flower stalk on the
plant now blooming at Captain
Dalzell's is about thirty feet tall
with the bud at the top of it. The
flower is not particularly hand-
some but its rarity makes if quite
a curiosity. A beautiful date palm
that is bearing fruit this year is
another evidence of the adaptability
of this climate for the growth semi-
tropical plants and especially
fruits which adorns the grounds of
the Dalzell residence. '

luncheons served by the Catholic
Ladies' Aid Society. The Opera-
House was transformed into "Ye
Teacnp Inne" for the day the fete
being under the patronage of the
glorious American flag whose red
white and and blue folds were
draped gracefully over the balcony
stage and windows fluttered in
miniature on the tables and clung
to the chandeliers. Palms ferns
and clinging vines also adorned the
stage and walls. The inscription
"Ye Teacup Inne" over the stage
was surmounted by the American
eagle vis-a-vis to the portrait of
the "Father of his Country."
The waitresses were exceedingly
fetching in various costumes il
lustrating Colonial fashions
other early American types. "Lovely
Minnehaha loveliest of Dakota
women" was bewitching! imper-
sonated by Misses Octavia Scanlan
and Etta Kowalski each wearing
crimson set on by a prolusion ol
bright necklaces and bracelets. The
"moccasins of magic" encased their
dainty feet. Miss Anita Fernandez
wore white with a handsome silk
American flag suspended from the
shoulder. Mrs. Wells in steel
satin flowing'skirt cream kerchief
painted in pansies ivory comb
and other Colonial reminders
rCvivified the days of "Stately Mar-
tha." Miss Annie Kelly in black
with white kerchief apron and cap
recalled the dainty and demure
Puritan maiden.
One of the most pleasant features
of the fete was the arrival at noon
of a levy of handsome Colonial
dames appropriately gowned im-
personated by Misses M. C. Butler
H. Case M. Duffy H.Hune and L.
Rousset Mesdames Egan and
Clearwater.
The menu comprised all of the
best features of Colonial cookery
such as chicken pie roast turkey
Boston baked beans potatoes with
cream sauce olives pickles pump-
kin and mince pie crullers
doughnnts various kinds of cake
etc. etb. all most : tempting and
delicious. '
The band played the beautiful
national airs of America throughout
the feast.
The crowd was the largest of any
da' and all were unanimous in
pronouncing the entire function a
delightful success.
In the afternoon from 4 to G the
ladies served ice cream to an im-
mense crowd who enjoyed the de-
corations and pretty costumes of
the ladies as much as"the'ices serv-
ed. In conclusion it should be said
in justice to the ladies who conceiv
ed and carried out this series of
entertainments that they are
entitled to unlimited praise for
their ingenuity and tireless efforts
in devising and executing the
various features which characterized
the four fetes which must have
been a most arduous undertaking.
