Died at Victoria Mexico.
News has been received here of
the death of Teofilo Z. Garza a
leading young lawyer of Victoria
Tamaulipas Mexico who died at
that place on March 11 aged 29
years.
The deceased was the son-in-law
of Mrs. Mary Turner Snider of
Victoria formerly Mrs. Strother of
Matamoros and daughter of Josiah
Turner the well known owner of
the Galveston ranch of this cour-
ty. The deceased was a brightyoung
man and is spoken of as a rising
man in the practice of -his profes-
sion in Tamaulipas. His young
-wife and other relatives have the
sympathy of many friends in their
bereavement.
The Bull Fight
The bull ring in Matamoros yes-
terday afternoon was the center of
attraction and drew a very large
crowd of spectators including a
large number of Americans.chiefly
of the Homeseekers contingent.
The fight was bloody enough to sat-
isfy the most sanguinary spectator.
Three bulls were slaughtered out-
right in the arena and one was
dragged out not quite dead while
eight or nine horses were killed by
the bulls. Considerable excite-
ment was caused .by two of the
bull-fighters being tossed by the
bulls. - Neither however appeared
to be much iujured. Two of the
bulls that were brought into the
ring appeared too tame to fight and
so had to be replaced by others.
The music by the ' Matamoros
band was excellent and was greatly
enjoyed by the spectators.
Even the fellow who feels that he
has nothing to live for soon dis
covers that he can't live for noth
POLICE DOGS IN HOLLAND.
Intelligent Animals -Asiist In Detection
and Capture of Evil Doers.
That a policeman on night duty
in a great city would be more re-1
spected by criminals if accompa-
nied by a powerful and sagacious
.dog is a reasonable supposition;
yet it remained for little Belgiutn
to carry out this innovation in An-
twerp Ghent Mons Bruges and
Ostend an innovation which has
now spread .to .'other parts" of
Europe. .
As time went on and the num-
ber of dogs was increased it be-
came apparent that night crimes
even in the worst quarters of
Ghent almost disappeared. Cun-
ning ruffians had often contrived
to outwit the soldiery patrol but
these big swift silent-footed and
sagacious dogs inspired terror in
the most desperate evil-doers.
The night service of the city is
now made by about one hundred
and twenty guards assisted by
fifty or sixty perfectly trained dog
police. The city is divided into a
hundred and' twenty sections so
arranged that man and dog can
always count on their neighbors'
support if occasion should arise.
Careful cbecj is kept upon the
men that they visit every yard of
their ueat; but even if the men are
inclined to shirk their- work the
dogs will keep them up to it. If
the night-guards are used by day
they get extra pay and a corres-
ponding number of hours is taken
from their next night-watch.
Relating the achievements of his
dogs M. Van Wesemeal told of an
arrest by one of them named Beer.
One night Beer came upon five
drunken fellows wrecking a saloon
on the outskirts of the city. The
men were making a great uproar
and a resolute' resistance to the
law was feared. The fine animal
sprang forward without a sound.
When the patrol reached the spot
four of the men had fled.j and Beer
was clutching the fifth by the leg.
The moment the officer appeared
Beer gave up his prisoner and was
off like the wind on the trail of
the fugitives. - The patrol follow-
ed with his prisoner guided by a
series of short sharp barks. Pre-
sently he came upon the other
four who had turned at bay and
were trying to keep the dauntless
Beer from tearing them to pieces.
Thoroughly frightened sobered
even the men offered to give
themselves up if Beer were con-
trolled. This was promptly done
and the procession started for the
central police bureau with the
victorious Beer now at liberty to
give vent to his joy barking and
racing round his prisoners exactly
as if they had been a flock of
sheep. Our Dumb Animals.
Mother.
The first word a child utters is
apt to be "Mother" and the old
man ar his dying dreams-calls
"Mother! Mother!" It matters
not whether she was brought up in
the surroundings of a city and an
affluent home and was dressed ap-
propriately with reference to the
demands of modern life or whether
she wore the old-time cap 'and
great round spectacles an apron of
her own make and knit your socks
with her own needles seated by
the broad fireplace with great
backlogs ablaze on a winter night.
It matters not how many wrinkles
crossed and recrossed her face or
how much her shoulders stooped
with the burden of a long life3 if
you painted a Madonna hers would
be the face. What a gentle hand
she had when we were sick and
what a voice to soothe pain and
was there any one who could so fill
up a room with peace and purity
a"nd light? And what a sad day
that was when we came home and
she could greet us notr for. her lips
were forever still. Weimar Mer
cury.
It is said that it would take a
snail exactly 14 days to travel -a
mile.
