A MEXICAN BAND.
The Fourth Cavalry Bard in
Galveston, En- Route to
Tyler.

Mexican military bands make
the sweetest music on earth.
The harmonious blending OF
their instruments is exquisite.
There are no loud sounding
brasses, no shrill piccolos, no
Wagnerian crashes. The News
wishes to acknowledge a most
delightful serenade yesterday
afternoon from the Fourth cav
airy band of Mexico, stationed
at Reynosa. Forty coffee col
ored men with music in their
souls and spurs on their boots,
picturesque in blue jackets with
red and yellow trimmings, white
caps aud linen trousers that
matched their compilations,
gathered in the area between
the News building and the cot
ton exchange, and led by Senior
Lopez, played three pieces. The
first was a march movement
that would have caught Sousa,
called 'The Zacatecas March,
by Codina; the second was
"Acuerdate de Hic," both twp
ical of sunny Mexico. And the
last? What more appropriate,
what more complimentary than
"DiXiep When the band start
ed the familiar strains the
crowd which had collected vel
led and threw their hats in the
air. The forty coffee colored
boys smiled, but kept on play
ing.
Senior Lopez and his band
are no strangers in Galveston
They played one hight at the
Beach a year ago to crowded
lawn and galleries. And he is
en- route TO the same place,
Tyler, to play during the sea
son of the fruit palace until the
22d of this month. The band
is contributed by the govern
ment as a compliment to and
mark of appreciation of the
Lone Star state, notwithstand-
IhS the little unpleasantness
some sixty years ago.

FOURTH or July hop.


The hop given by our leading SO
ciety people at the opera house last
Saturday evening was in every sense
a success. The hall was most taste
fully decorated with American flags;
large and small, in recognition of
the national holiday. a band of 10
musicians furnished excellent mus
ic, and, though somewhat warm,
all present thoroughly enjoyed the
dancing. At eleven o'clock, deli
cious ice cream and cake were serv-
ed. Many of the dancers left at mid
night, though many others remained
later to enjoy Gust one more turn"
Owing to the fact that many of cur
society people are out of town for
Abe summer, the attendance was not
sc large as usual, but there were
enough present to keep the floor COW
cred with dancers the entire even
ing. Many of the ladies present
wore very handsome and stylish
gowns, but THE HERALD reporter did
not obtain description of the cos
tunes. Those who participated in
this delightful occasion were
and Mrs. Norman Kendall, Mr.. and
Mrs. C. A. Forsyth, Mr.. and Mrs. II

WattersOn's Interview,

On MS own concession Henry
Watterson went away, purposely,
to Europe to be absent through the
late campaign, az he looked upon
his own party as utterly democrat
lied and helpless to meet the
shocks of presidential struggle
Now his interview at long range
discusses affairs in his own coun-
try. Tie is always interesting.--
There is no trouble about his talk
ing at any time, but there is moth
ing in his Interview which reveals
any profound thought or solid judg-
ment except his reference to the
situation of the rich men oi The
east. He rightly says that they
are in danger. They have framed
the laws so that they draw to them
the profits Of the country. They
control the government. They
make )stcntatiCus and offensive dis
plays of their wealth, and they are
not paying any assessments as an
insurance that their vast property
will descend safely to their Chit
dren. Had they been wise, they
would lever have contested the
income tax. They, rather would
have said, Why certainly, let the
tax come. 1T at best will he but a
small assessment on u gathered
wealth, and the country is poor and
needs money" They did not know
the truth, but really their fight up
en- that tax incensed tho poor tax
payers Of this country more than
any other n thing they ever did.
In the late campaign they have
added insult TO injury by not only
insisting that the present spo!iatiOn
Shall go on, but they hold within
their grasp all the honor, all the
integrity and all the patriotism Of
this country. And so saturated
with sycephancy aDd so perverted
in judgment Is the press Of New
York city, that it became this yeaI
the voice of the particular crowd
who live end exist as birds Of prey.
And while it was clear that the
producing hosts Of the country
were making nothing, that press
insisted that there was nothing
else in honor TO do but to continue
tho present state of things, and
with this were accompanying
sneers either that the producers
were thriftless and did not take
care Of what they had, or that they
had fooIishly produced so much
that what they had was worthless.
Watterson Is right when he says
those men are in danger, because
as wealth continues to grivitate
the same way, after awhile
through much suffering, the eyes
Of the people will become clear,
and then justice will have to be
done.-Salt Lake Tribune.

RUNAWAY NEGRO, ACTING THE
DEVIL.

l read Col. Sawyer's runaway negro
ghost story in your last issue. 1t re-
minds me of one l heard on Captain
Cunningham in the fifties. Cunning
ham was over seer for John Camel
Martin, on Little River, in Abbeville
county. He was very fond of fishing
at night. His ~favorite place was on a
high rock that extended out into the
mill pond above the old mill. Above
this rock was a sharp bend in the river.
Martin had a negro man that had runa-
way. He was as black as the ace of
spades with a bushy head and eyes as
red as n t%arrapin. He watched Gun
ningham pull out the cats and place
them on a string by a l~ight-wood fire
back Of him. The negro pulled off his
clothes and slid gently into the water
and worked his way down the bank and
under the rock was sitting He then
dived out and came up right amongst
the lines and fishing poles. AS the
head came out of the water he shock
his head and exclaimed: 81 have come
after you" The sight was too much
for Cunningham, He fed, leaving
poles and fish and believing old Nick
was after him. The negro took posses
sion of the fish Of couPse. And when
he came told how badly he had scared
the Overseer.
