GOOD ADVICE.

THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD wants
q little of McKinley's renewed pros
perity sent to the Rio Grande in the
shape of capital to build a railroad
There is an abundance OF capital on
the Rio Grande; enough in Browns
vile to build railroad from Alice
where you could intersect the Texas
Mexican and the Arkansas Pass thus
at a single stroke get railroad COM
municatioh with the outside world.
The old men at Bro wnsville will all
be dead and the Young men gray be-
fore they get railroad il they wait
for Mckinley prosperity to build
the road. The surest way and the
speediest to get railroad is to Or
ganize home company and build
it. The people Of Brownsville have
cried long enough for road now
let then build it themselves God
helps those who try to helps them
selves.-Alice Echo.

THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.

The ola newspaper saying, "now

more true than at present. The times

portant national and State affairs are

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If In the enjoyment of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

.CATARRH MEANS DAN
GER,

Because II unchecked it may lead
directly to consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood. This fact is
fully established Therefore, it is
useless to try to cure catarrh by out
ward applications or inhalants. The
true way to cure catarrh is to purify
the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the
great blood purifier, cures catarrh by
its power to drive out all impurities
from the blood. Thousands OF people
testify that they have been perfectly
and permanently cured Of catarrh
Hoods Sarsaparila.

Protect the Foolish,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the tTilt0r or The Evening Star:
While the District authorities are making
regulations to prevent "scorching' by a
certain class of bicyclers, wouldn't it be
well for them to extend their protection
over another class who seem incapable Of
self-protection? l refer to those who make
practice of endangering their own lives
by persistently riding on the car tracks. a
large proportion of our bicycle riders, unde.
the mistaken idea that a pound of weight
makes an appreciate difference in the run
of a machine, now discard the mud guards
The result is that on occasions when the
streets are wet, the slightly elevated and
better drained PORTION of the street occu-
pied by cable car tracks is a favorite path
way with this class of riders. The fact
that a rainfall makes the pavements es-
pecially slippery and increases enormously
the chances of accident, does not seem to
deter these reckless riders, who are the
more persistent the danger increases
sticking close to the car tracks, riding lust
alongside passing trains and even between
them, when a slight obstruction or sudden
mishap might cause the wheel to slip on
the wet pavement and throw them under
the car wheels. This very morning In rid.
irg nine consecutive blocks, / saw ten con-
secutve idiots riding calmly along the Penn
sylvania avenue tracks, lodging the cars as
they came from front or rear and smiingiv
rushing back on to the tracks to court
danger Only two days ago 4 young bicycle
rider in Philadelphia, who was hurrying
home to tell his loved ones that he had OBJ
tained employment, dashed between a cable
car and an obstruction near the track lost
his balance, arc fell, with his neck under
the wheels, being instantly killed. If a GER
tain class of people will not reasonably pro-
tect their own lives 1T is probably the
duty Of the authorities to extend some pro-
lection over them. l speak with some feel
ing on this subject, having been constant

rider off his balance, especially in a crowd

Lone Star Beneficial AssOci0tfOn.

yesterday to beautiful River View. In spite
of the bad and rainy weather, nearly 1,5OO
people paid visit to the View during the
day in the three trips made by the steamer

the visitors was the new Chute" which

AN OFFICER FINED.
He Could Not Control His Temper In
Court.

William J. Barbee a member OF the
police force, who does duty in the eighth
precinct, WAS unable to hold his tongue in
the Police Court when he felt that Lawyer
Holland had offended him, and the result
was that Judge Miller fined him for con-
tempt. 1t appears that the policeman was
on duty about l o'clcck yesterday morn
ing when his attention was attracted 10
Cedar street. There he found number or
colored men on the street engaged IN q
quarrel, and there was an audience Oh
more than two dozen men, women and
children as spectators. young colored
man named Alfred Reed seemed to be the
principal in the affair, and he was arrested
on a charge of disorderly conduct
Then the crowd volunteered to hold court
and try the case there on the street, but
Judge Kimball was at home In bed, ana
the case could not be properly tried. For
this reason the policeman insisted on pro-
ceeding IN the proper way, while the crowd
il sisted on releasing the prisoner. Some
hard substance, possibly a bottle, was
thrown, and one woman said she heard
somebody in the crowd say: XIII the po-
liceman" There was something of a strug-
gle, and then Reed walked away free
man. But his fttedom was of short dura-
ticn, for when the police man discharged
his revolver to brighten the crowd, he did
not do so i'll vain, and soon afterward Reed
was again in custody. The crowd had fol-
lowed the officer and his prisoner, and sew
eral stones were thrown. Percy Brock was
taken to the station with Reed and charg-
ed with dsorderly conduct, while James
Freeman and Charlotte Scott were charged
with an assault on the officer. The assault
case was heard in Judge Miller's court.
Nearly a dozen witnesses were heard in
the case and Lawyer Holland proceeded
with the argument. He referred to a case
Policeman Barbee had had in court, and
in order to reflect on the officer, he said
that the court threw out the case.
This reference to him offended the Off
Ger, who addressing his remarks to coun-
sci, remarked: IF you're a liar, I'm not"
What's that you said?" Lawyer Holland
asked.
The officer repeated the remark twice,
and when Judge Miller understood what
he said, fined him $40 for contempt.
We've had enough Of this business in
court" said the judge, land I'll either
break it up, or somebody will go to Jail UNI
til his hair is gray
Then the court directed that the officer
be made to pay the fine or be put in the
dock. The fine, which was reduced to 50,
was paid, and he was released. The two
defendants mentioned were fined $50 or
sixty days each.
Brock and Reed were tried before Judge
Kimball on a charge Of disorderly conduct.
Brock was dismissed and Reeds personal
bonds were taken.
