A light mist was falling last night
about the time OF closing the High
school exercises, just enough tc
dampen the toiIettes OF the ladies on
their way home from the entertain-
inent. Another shower fell this
morning after len, bat not enough
TO do any good.
THE HERALD is informed by Post-
master Russ. that arrangements
have been effected whereby the
through mail will be received here
after on Tuesdays stage, instead Of
being DELAYED until "wednesday as
is now the case. The present in
convenient arrangement, by which
our citizens are deprived OF the priv
lege Of mail communication from
the outside world every Tuesday
night, and obliged on Wednesday TO
wade through two days accumula-
tion of newspapers, is due to the
fact that the Arkansas Pass road does
not run a Sunday train to Alice, the
mail Tor Brownsville lying over
Sundays at Skidmore. Under the
new plan, however, which goes into
operation OH July lst., the Browns
vile mail, instead of stopping at
Skidmore on Sunday, will be car
ried ID Corpus Christi and from
there to Alice over the Texas exi-
can railroad. This train reaches
Alice at 10 a. M, and the stage leav-
ing that place for Brownsville will
on SUNDAYS await the arrival of the
Texas-Mexican train, which Will
make il four hours later than usual
in starting. Thus the through mail
will reach here on Tuesday evening
though it will come late. Still;
even though little behind the reg
hlar maX it will be gladly vel
coined.

After a farewell song by the
pupils, Capt. VIM. Kelly, president
of the school board, presented the
graduating class with their we'll
earned diplomas. An interesting
address, congratuIating the students
upon their achievement of so great
az honor and their teachers upon
the success Of their pupils and also
congratulating Brownsville upon its
possession of so excellent an institu-
ton for the free education of her
children, was delivered by Capt.
Kelly previous TO the presentation.
Capt. Cummings then made few
remarks, biding farewell the class
of 81 and expressing his pride in
their success. Capt. Cummings dwell
upon the fact that this was the
first graduating class of the High
school that comprised pupils Of
Mexican parentage, and he heartily
congratulated the two young men
upon their victory. in gaining di-
ploma. While it is always an honor
to gain such a distinction it is "a
much greater honor for these two
bows, who are brothers, by the way,
to have completed successfully the
course required by the state in Eng
fish, when their mother tongue is
Spanish; and the latter is used
constantly in their home and by
their playmates. Their work must
have been doubly hard and their
victory is gloubly great.
At the conclusion Of the exercises,
the band was retained by number
of the young men and the floor of
the assembly hall cleared for dane
ing, which was enjoyed by the young
people for several happy hours.

THIRD COMMENCEMENT
OF the Brownsville High school:
Three Graduates Receive
Diplomas.

place last evening in the presence
of large assemblage OF interested
spectators. The hail was most
tastefully trimmed with palms and
/ flags. OFer the front of the stage
were d.ooped in harmonious union
the flags OF Mexico and the United
States, sn appropriate recognition
of the fact that OF the three men,
beEs composing the graduating
class, two were of Mexican paren-
tage. Dainty programs were distri-
buied among the audience. These
pretty souvenirs of an auspicions oc-
casion bore, besides the usual order
of exercises, the names Of the class
of 81. and the appropriate motto,
"Step by STEP"
a selected orchestra from the Mata
moros military band PLAYED the
overture and also rendered choice
selections at intervals. Several
songs by pupils of the High school
and grammar grades were very
much enjoyed by the audience. A
recitation by Miss Alice Raphael,
vacation Time," was delivered
with much expression and grace by
the little lady. Miss PAMELA Bel
den, who isan accomplished pianist,
rendered a selection from William
Tell in very good style. At the con-
clusion of the piece, Miss Belden
was presented with a certificate
on behalf of her instructress, Mrs. j.
z. Putegnat.
Essays by the graduating class
we're read at different intervals.
The first, by Frank Alcedo, was a
very interesting article on The pro-
gress of Mexico under President
Diaz. Queen Bess," was the sub
ject OF Miss Eleonor RusseFs essay,
the character of that famous lady
being described in an entertaining
manner. The third graduation es-
say by Joseph J. Alcedo, dealt with
the life of another of history's
great characters, "Charlemague,"
the salient features Of his remark
able carer being faithfully por-
trayed. All Of the graduates read
their essays in a clear tone and
with good expression.
"Cnurch Reyeries of a School
Girl" was recited in pleasing style
by Miss Helen kensdy.
Master augus Raphael, and Miss
Mielke rendered q pretty duet on
violin and piano. Master Angus
displays great proficiency on the
violin for so youthful performer.
A sweet little song by sweet lit
tie pair was "Playing Tag with
Baby," by little Gertrudeand IIar-
old Cowen. "Baby" Parks; cute
little todller added much to the
rendition by climbing upon the
platform in the midst Of the song
"The spirit Of IndeI endence" was
history play which was rendered
with unusual excellence for q school
performance. All of the partici-
pants were very we'll drilled and
acted all their parts in a natural
manner. There was enough uncon-
rentlonality about the play to make
it extremely entertaining as we'll as
instructive. Tie costuming was
very good. Following are the dra-
