What Col. Pennant of Wichita Falls
Thinks OF the Deep-ITater Port.

THINKS OF the Deep-Water PORT.
Col. o. II. Pennant of Wichita Falls was
in the city yesterday. The colonel is one Of
the many who believe in the future OF
velasco. a GAZETTE reporter saw him
yesterday at the Pickwick and engaged him
in conversation regarding what was being
done at Velaseo at the present time While
speaking of the city at the mouth of the
Brazos, he waxed eloquent and enthusi-
astc. He said: There are scores of rea-
sons to lead one TO think that Velasco will
be the most important place on the gulf
coast OF course the paramount reason Is
the fact that she has deep water, but aside
from this there are many other
reasons. One of these reasons is
that the country tributary to
Velasco is as fertile and rich in natural re-
sources as the valley of the Nile. In fact,
the quality OF the land from both places
was tested at the Paris exposition, and the
black loan that was taken from the valley
of the Brazos near Velasco was declared
more fertile than that brought from
the Nile. 1t is specially adapted to
the raising Of garden truck and
this business can be engaged in
for twelve months of the year and could be
class. The richness of the soil around We
laseo Is one of the most important features,
and ono that is recognized by all.
I'm very few years Velasco, like all
towns and cities, will need o public park
In this she is peculiarly blessed. Two and
half miles from the courthouse
lies the most beautiful natural
park l ever saw. / have seen Central
park, Lincoln park, Washington park
Tower Grove park, and nearly all of the
parks of this country that are noted for
their beauty, and l must say that nature
has done more for the park contiguous to Ve-
lasco, and has beautified it far more than the
landscape gardener with all his art has done
for the parks have mentioned. 1t contains
about one thousand acres, is luxuriant
with vegetation and filed with the state
lest live oaks With small expense it
could be made a paradise in which the peo-
pie of Felasco and her visitors could luxu-
riate.
GLOW is the town gowing2 Like it al
ways has since first the people be-
gan to appreciate the natural
advantages of Velasco. But the growth
has been particularly rapid since the public
sale. Buildings have been erected very
fast, and are nearly all of brick l tell you,
Velasco will before long be the
Mecca of thousands. She sits smiling
at the mouth of the Brazos
river, inviting all who come up
the bay TO partake of her hospitality, drink
of her pure artesian water, battle in the
gulf and bask in her pure sunlight of never
ending spring"
Col Pennant will in all probability be
the Democratic nominee for mayor Of Wich-
tia Falls.

An Infant Cyclone.

at half past IL yesterday heavy wind
storm visited the city. 1t came from the
and blew down chimneys,
fences, and in some cases parts of houses,
roofs, etc. The clouds were black and angry
looking, and were very low. 1t looked for
while as if cyclone of the
regulation order were about to strike the
city, and people watched the approaching
clouds anxiously. It turned out, however,
to be only an embryo hurricane, but an ex-
ceedingly brisk one. The wind was strong
est in the southern part of the city. The
smoke-stack of Camerou's mill was
blown down, the side of Mrs.
Moore's secondhand store on Houston
street was blown in, a portion of the
sheds of the Central wagon yards were
blown down and Deputy Sheriff Bell came
near coming to grief. He was riding on
lower Houston street aud the force of the
wind blew both him and his horse clear
across the street. The blow was quickly
over and no one was hurt,

The Pu1se OF New York.

Yesterday the melo drama, ''The Pulse
of New York" was produced for the first
time in this city. It has a number of real
istically effective scenes, and for this class
of play is an acceptable one. The company
is well balanced, the principal roles, of
course, being taken by Miss Oracle En-
NETT and Steve Cory. It gives Miss EN-
NETT abundant opportunities to show her
versatility as Polly Morton, a rolliclking
young heiress: Maggie Mcguire, an Irish
washwomau; Samantha Perkins, a down
East Yankee widow; Lowena, green Ger
man girl; Dinkey Dan, live newsboy, and
Mrs. Haggerty, No. 2. All Of these differ
ent roles she sustains very cleTerly, her
Irish songs, as Mrs. Haggerty, No 2, being
full of rollicking humor Steve Cory as
Samuel Snapper has the low comedy role
and he makes it strong feature of the per-
Torrance. The play itself is a succession
of rather startling incidents, hair-breadth
escapes, ETC.. the climaxes Of which are all
well drawn and sustained.

AOuestIon of Race.

An amusing incident occurred st The Jail
yesterday afternoon. Officers Sebe Maddox
and Charley Scott brought in couple of
youths, apparently about eigh teen years of
age, on charges of vagrancy. One was as
black as stack Of black cats, and answered
to the name of Scotty Conley. The other,
CharheiWood, was IS width as any one in
the crowd, but had told the officers he was
niger" To this declaration Scotty re-
torted, when the officers seemed to doubt
Charles word, Yes, he's o Niger;
lnowed BIN two years" After searching
the boys, Jailer Elliott appeared in the
office and ordered the prisoners placed in
Charlie to the white department. To this
Charlie objected, saying, sinister, Use a
Niger" which assertion knocked the jailer
of the Christmas tree. Then the fun COM
menced-how to determine whether he was
in reality negro or a white boy.
All the various modes of testing
known TO the lookers-on were resortsd
TO, but no decision other than that he was
OF the white race could be arrived at At
this iuncture Lou Davis, the negro woman
sentenced to the penitentiary for theft. who
had been q spectator, stuck her head from
her cell and called out, Bring him over
here, III tell you whether he is niger
or not" The boy was marched over
TO LOUIS window, and she pulled him up

back of his neck and exclaimed '.Whew,

ion Charley was marched or to the

with the verdict Wood claims to hail
from Decatur. Tex. The officers think they
are two of the gang of three recently
run in for various thefts, and upon one Of

ration on the head of man named Pet err
son. Peterson was hit on the head about
three years ago with a piece OF iron He
was laid up several days for repairs, his

months later he began to suffer excrutiat-
ingly from pains IN the head. Various
remedies were resorted to, which only gave
temporary relief Several days ago Peter
son was sent to the hospital and DR.. West

away large portion OF the mans skull, the
bone being fractured and dead, and the re-
