l thought when l last wrote You
about the weather that we had
seen the worst Of it, but last
night was worse. 1t began to
snow in the night and continued
until about 10 o'clock this
morning. 1t was freezing cold
all the time, with the wind
strong from the north, drifting
the snow and piling it up in
places until the drifted snow
was deeper than l care to say,
as it might be doubted that il
ever showed that much as far
south as this. Taken all in all,
it is the greatest snow storm l
ever saw in South Texas.

AN AMENDMENT.

Brownsville, Feb. 10, 1895
EDIToR HERALD:--I read with
surprise, in your issue of Che
10Th inst, a communication
signed by my worthy friend,
Maj. Hammer, In which he adj
vocates the distribution, among
the city poor, of the funds be-
ing raised for the purpose of
celebrating Washingtcn's birth
day.
The major has a perfect right
to his opinion and l certainly
would have been the last one to
tina fault with it, provided he
had kept it to himself. But he
has chosen to make it public
through your columns, and |
claim the privilege Of amending
it through the same channel. by
suggesting that he (the maior)
start a subscription in aid of the
poor, and l venture to say that
nine out Of every ten persons
he will see have already sub
scribed and are daily subscrib
ing to some charitable society
or other, and that therefore they
should be left free to subscribe
Tor any other purpose, especial
~ so when it has for an object.
besides the diversion of a dance.

ing the birth of The Father of

ball - and the sweet echo of
feminine voices answers-amen!

ANOTHER SUGGESTION.
Fort Brown, Feb. II.
EDIToR BROWNSVILLE HrRA1D

EDITOR BROWNSVILLE Herald.
SIR:-I read with much sat.
isfaction in your issue Of yes
terday Major Hammers letter
suggesting that the funds sub
scribed for the celebration Of
Washington's birthday be used
for the relief of the suffering
poor Of the town l heartily
agree With the suggestion.
There is a great amount of
AFFECT poverty in the town,
which is probably not equalled
by any place of its size in the
country. They are almost max
ed and their quaint faces show
how they suffer for food, and
how severely they must have
suffered when we know that
during the past ten days the
thermometer has been almost
constantly below freezing point,
and with a strong norther blow
ing.
Think Of celebrating Wash
ington's birthday in a brilliant
ly lighted hall, with cheerful
music, etc, and Il bountiful re-
past, while outside helpless
fathers and mothers have TO
watch their little ones slowly
dying Of cold and hunger! l.,
for one, could not enjoy such
a celebration.
l respectfully suggest, as
Major Hammer did, that meet
ing of the subscribers to that
fund be called; that the major
ity of all those who attend the
have authority to dis
pose of the funds, and that they
decide whether to use the finds
for the original purpose, or
honor Washington by giving
the funds for the relief of the
poor, as very probably Wash
ington would DO could he be
heard from.
Very respectfully,

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM
According TO The best authorities,
originate in a morbid eundition Of
the blood. Tactic acid. caused by
the decomposition Of the geIatihous
aud slhuminous tissues, circulates
with the blood aud attacks the
fibroas tissues, particularly in the
joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The
bac!, and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism, and
the joints st the knees, ankles, hips;
and wrists are also sometimes at
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilia posi-
tive and permanent cure FIR rheuma
tisu. 1t has mad remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret Of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the
cause Of the disease by nentralizing
he tactic acid and purifying the
hood,as we'll az strengthening every
function OF the body.

Travellers coming in from up

They say the cause is
these animals were woked
