Good News About Street Sprlnkling.

The people OF Ell Paso, from now on,
will have more street sprinkling than
they have been blessed with for some
time. The city has not bought any
new wagons, but the first of three
stand pipe hydrants will be erected to
day at the corner of Myrtle
and Noble streets, and this
will give the wagon in that part of the
city better chance Ito do sprinkling
as it will enable the wagon to fill
nearer to the place where the sprink-
time in hauling the empty tank back
forth over long distance as it had to
and do heretofore.
Commissioner Wales said to
HERALD representative this morning:
1--WE are going to push the matter of
erection of the other hydrapts so
the people will have more
sprinkling through the residence
part ,of the town. These three
new hydrants that the council
gave us on Chairman Robinson's re-
commendation at the last meeting will
possibly give US twenty more tanks of
water on the streets than before,
because they will be placed
so as to save the time CT
hauling the empty tanks such a dis
lance" And Mr.. Wales said further,
''These twenty tanks extra will help
US out a great deal more than you have
any idea. We can cover the ground
each way along each haul

MOOre-BrOWn.

One of the prettiest weddings of the
year took place at IL O'Clock today in
the Myrtle street Methodist church.
Miss Kate Moore, one of the most pop
ular and best beloved of all the lovely
daughters of Ell Paso, was married to
VIM. r. Brown, of the Santa Fe, who
is also we'll known and we'll liked.
The church was very prettily decor
ated. All around the church, above
the wainscOting, was q broad frieze OF
green boughs relieved by hundreds OF
morning glories of varied hue, pink
and blue predominating. There was
green over the windows and green
over the doors. Living vines
hung between the windows
and the chandeliers were festooned
with smilax and morning glories. At
the front of the church were pretty
draperies of green and natural flowers.
The ceiling was draped in pink and
blue cheesecloth, and the organ was
similarly decorated.
After the minister, Rev. j. G. Hall,
with the groom and his best man, Mr..
Morehouse, had entered the church,
Mrs. Roberts, who was assisted by Miss
Mabel Falvey, began the wedding
march. Messrs. James Magofin and
followed by Miss Leila Trumbull
and Mrs. w. D. Howe, the brides
maids. Miss Florence Besll, maid Of
honor, came next, Immediately pre-
ceding the bride, who walked alone.
The unique feature of the pretty
wedding was the costumes of the
BRIDES attendants. They all wore col
onial gowns, composed of taffeta petit
coats with figured organdie overdress.
They wore odd little poke bonnets,
with strings tied under the chin, and
carried bouquets of sweet peas. The
two maids were attired in blue, and
carried purple flowers tied with blue
ribbons, while the maid of honor wore
pink, and carried pink flowers.
The bride looked extremely hand
some in a gown of cream colored satin.
with long veil and train, trimmed
with orange blossmos. She carried q
bouquet of white flowers.
After the wedding the bridal party
were entertained at q wedding break
fast at the residence of Mrs. Magoff1n.

The New City Bonds.

Those new city bonds arrived by ex-
press yesterday, and last AFTERNOON
City Clerk Catlin got them from the
express company and Judge Magoffin
began to sign them. Today thew will
60 to Austin to have the attorney gen
eral compare them, and the secretary
of state will register them.
The lithographing is pretty piece
o: work and was done by the George
D. Bernard Lithographing company of
st. Louis, Mo.
The city hall bonds, amounting to
S3O, 600, are n yellow, and the sewer ex-
tension bonds have been done in green,
and are certainly q credit to the litho-
graphers.
Even at the best possible time the
city will be unable to get the bonds
back from Austin before the arrival of
the q: H. train at $50 p. m. on Friday.
The time to open the sealed bids for
the sale OF the bonds was set on Frid ay
at 10 o'clock in the morning, but NV.
Harris q Co., of Chicago, who appear
anxious to secure these bonds, and
will send representatives here for that
purpose, state it will be impossible for
their agents to arrive before the T. P.
on Friday, so the request has been con-
sldered and the time for the opening
OF the bids will be about three in the
afternoon.

The Chorus.

Last night the first rehearsal of the
chorus who will sing patriotic songs
during the flag raising ceremonies on
Independence Day took place at Cho-
pin hall. The members were late in
arriving, but about thirty-five young
men and women took part.
The rehearsal was thoroughly sue
cessful. Considerable enthusiasm was
shown at times in the singing of the
songs, and all seemed to take interest
in the work. Prof. Smith said after
the rehearsal that for the first trial the
voice held together we'll, and he felt
sure that with faithful attendance by
the members success was assured.
The flag raising ceremony will be
beautiful and impressive. But it ab-
solutely requires the presence of q
large chorus to make the program as
planned most effective.
The chorus that met at Chopin hall
last night was good one. The voices
were strong, and when they were sing
ing together they made q God volume
of sound. But more voices are need
ed.
Let every one come tonight and
bring friend. 1t ought not to be hard
to get together one or two hundred
voices in this city for such an
occasion. And it should be remem-
bered that it is for no other
purpose than periodically to celebrate
the great national holiday. 1t seems
likely now that we shall have the fall
of Santiago to celebrate as we'll.
Sergeant Douglass of Fort Bliss will
have charge of raising the flag. The
ceremony as outlined last night. &C.
companied by the chorus singing Star
Spangled Banner, will be most i'm.
pressive.
Come to Chopin Hall, tonight, at 8
o'clock: words and music will be fur
uished.

ENCHANTED GROVE OF BEES.
Peculiarly of Two Trees, the Cause q
which Cannot Br Expiain.d.

Peculiarly of Two Trees, the Cause OF
which Cannot lie Explained.
On the site Of an old Shawnee vii.
lage Is spot which seems to have
been the thickeSt settled part OF the
town. Is n grove of black oak trees.
In this grove are two very large post
oak trees, one In the south and ont
in the north end of the grove. In the
grove can be heard most any day the
buZZiEy of Il swarm OF bees so
plainly that the noise has fooled MANY
old bee hunters. but all their search
has never revealed a single bee.
Now comes the most peculiar part
of this most peculiar tale. The large
postoak tree standing at the north
end of the grove is the curiosity Of
the bunch. for not long ago II young
man hearing of the bees went to the
spot and proceeded TO look carefully
up each tree in the grove until he
came 10 the north tree. He WAS with
in two feet of this tree, loking IN.
when he heard Il noise Just like n
carpenter ut work mailing on boards,
and tho noise sGTmed to come from
the tree. He went around it several
times. trying to locate the hammerng
but 1t still seemed to come from the
tree. The hammcring continued until
he happened to touch the tree with
his hand. when it suddenly stopped.
The man lhrn went away amazed
y day or 50 aftcrward this man had
occasion again to pass that way. He
slipped up ID the tree and listened for
the hammering, and sure enough, II
was rs plain as ever. He touched the
tree with the end of his finger, and
as before The noise stopped at once.
This man and several others have
tried touching the tree several times
since. with the same result.
They say that the hamming of bees
and the curious hammering can be
heard any day. but no one has been
able to explain tn" mysteries Of this
enchanted grove.-tialveston News.
