CINCO DE MAYO
A National Holiday of Mexico Cele-
brated Today.
The Mexican colony of the city is
today celebrating Cinco de Mayo the
great national holiday of the country
of the Montezumas. It is in commem-
oration of the defeat of the French
troops by the National army in 1862.
It is being celebrated throughout the
republic of Mexico In grand style and
the Mexican colony of this city is al-
so commemorating the event in an ap-
propriate manner.
This morning at 10 o'clock a delega-
tion of ladies and gentlemen appoint-
ed by the colony called on the Mexi-
can consul. Dr. Ornelas at the consul-
ate in the Wickes building accompa-
nied by a band and presented cohgrat-
ulations to the country through the
doctor.
Several patriotic and appropriate ad-
dresses were made by the members of
the delegation to which Dr. Ornelas
responded in a neat speech after wrhich
he served the visitors with a cham-
pagne luncheon continuing until 12
o’clock when the delegation departed
well pleased with their visit to their
country’s representative.
During the reception the band play-
ed various national airs and anthems
which were very beautiful.
The handsome silk flag of the consul
was floating proudly over the consulate
all day.
The Mexican Benevolent society con-
tinued their celebration at San Pedro
park this afternoon.
RELIABILITY VS. CHANCE.
When buying a piano or an organ
it would be well for the purchaser to
consider carefully the reliability of the
party or house he purcnases from.
If you buy from a reliable house you
are protected and if the instrument
they sell youdoes not £ive satisfaction
you’ll And no trouble in adjusting the
matter. If on the othtr hand you
buy from traveling commission agents
who are here today and away tomor-
row you may find it difficult to find
such persons should the piano they
sell you prove defective.
DON’T GIVE LIEN NOTES WHEN
BUYING PIANOS OR ORGANS.
Commission agents demand them to
satisfy the manufacturer as they are
used as collateral and must be met at
maturity. After the lien notes are
given the title to the piano reverts
back to the manufacturer or holder
of the notes unless they are paid.
Another point well worthy of consid-
eration is the bill of lading. Demand
this before you receive the piano in
your house and you can see by it
whether the piano comes direct from
the factory and WHEN.
We do not demand NOTES when sel-
ling pianos or organs; we have been
doing business in Texas for upwards of
THIRTY-ONE years and are to be
found always ready and willing to
grant extensions when a reasonable
exchse is offered and to protect you
against any defects that may arise in
any instrument that we sill you. there-
fore giving you the foregoing benefits
as well as your choice in T EN different
makes of pianos in different woods and
on easy payments we claim your PA-
TRONAGE. 24-tf

MAYOR CALLAGHAN’S OPPOSI-
TION.
The hearing of the mandamus case
before Judge Camp which was set to
be heard this morning at 10 o’clock has
been continued until Monday morning
at 10 o'clock. This is a very important
case involving a change of the admin-
istration of our public schools; besides
as Mayor Callaghan contends will in-
volve the city in an expense which at
the present time should be postponed
if possible.
Mayor Callaghan is represented by
Major John A. Green and the petition-
ers by Mr. Keller; two of the most
thorough lawyers at our bar. There
is no doubt about Mayor Calaghan’s
' determined opposition to the movement
at present and that he will use all the
means in his power to at least post-
pone an election on the school board
question.
The public is catching on to the fact
that this controversy has largely or-
iginated by reason of the dismissal of
Prof. Smith.

THE LITTLE REPUBLICS.
New York May s.—The Herald’s
correspondent in Punta Arenas Costa
Rica telegraphs that the steamer New-
port has arrived there bearing the
news that the strong Nicaraguan army
commanded by Gen. Suling is march-
ing toward the Costa Rican frontier.
The Nicaraguan government I am ad-
vised is recruiting men from all over
the republic to reinforce the army.
Nicaragua has also sent troops to
Honduras to help suppress the revolu-
tion there.
From all reports from Costa Rica
and Nicaragua it seems that the trou-
ble between the two governments is
assuming threatening proportions.

THE AIR SHIP.
Did Not Come Last Night—The One
Seen Here Last Week.
The air ship did not make its appear-
ance in the city last night as promised
In the message found last week on
Main plaza which was supposed to
have dropped from that wonderful
newspaper creation and thus proves
that there exists no such an invention
in this part of the country anyway.
Notwithstanding this there were
hundreds of persons in the city who
kept their eyes directed in the vicinity
of the Sunset depot fpr several hours
after dusk last night in the expecta-
tion of seeing the aerial wonder but
all were disappointed.
The origin of the story of the’ air
ship being over our city several days
ago is said to have been caused by a
dummy constructed of small colored
baloons and allowed to drift over the
city from Laurel Heights.
It was arranged by a w'ell-known
citizen of that suburb and was com-
posed of several small baloons such
as street fakirs sell on the street cor-
ners attached to which was a ligfit
pasteboard box containing several
small candles which gave the appear-
ance of colored lights when reflected
on the baloon in mid-air.
The gentleman’s name who sent up
the affair can be given.
