Grand preparations are being made in
Pieirss Negras for an extensive celebra-
ton OF September 16. There will be FEES
tas on the plaza, but it is not yet known
whether they will have bull fights. In
Eagle Pass there will also be a proper eel
ebration of the day By the Mexican popu-
lation, headed by the Sociedad Mutual
isti. San Juan's plaza has been chosen as
the place at which the celebration will
take place. Then at the Hartez coal
mines there will also be general jollifca-
tiOn and a bale at night. 1t is strange
that September 10 receives more notics at
the hands of those citizens than does
July 4, perhaps because this is election
year, when the Mexican is always more
plentiful and more populor than in of
yea :. The Me1icans out-yote ths Amer
