population of nearly 1000, sur
rounded by lands fully equal in

most salubrious climate, this
place lacks only a railroad

most important cities in Texas

a railroad should be construct

CLIMATE.
Though so near ire tropics
yet the climate of this county
is comparatively cool in sum
mer. It's entire eastern front
of about one hundred miles, be-
ing laEed by the cool waters of
the Gulf of Mexico, which great
ly tempers the heat natural to
southern ATTITUDES. The pre-
vaiIing wind throughout the
greater portion of the year is
from the Southeast and comes
directly across the Gulf. The
winters are also extremely nild,
and make this an ideal place
for any who seek escape from
TIE rigors of a northern winter.
Indeed, no place in the United
States enjoys more solubrious
climate during the winter sea
son that Brownsville, the coun-
ty seat of Cameron county.
Here the average temperature
for thirfy-nine years was 70 de-
gress.
The land lies nearly level the
altitude at Brownsville being
only AZ feet. The soil is rich
with the alIuvial deposits OF
endless years, aud its treasures
Of fertility are az yet almost
untouched only a limited por
tion of its surface ever having
been disturbed by the pillow.
In many places the soil lies
from six to twenty feet deep,
being practically inexhaustible,
and this of ihe finist and richest
soil known, ranging from a rich
dark alla7ial TO a sandy loom.
The county is watered by the
Rio Grande, which skirts lis
entire southern boundary, q
distance of seventy-fiVe miles.
Besides this there are numerous
small streams. called "resacas

county.

FRANCIS WILSON
And His New Opera. CyrNnO de Ber-
gernc,

And His New Opera. CyrNnO de Bcr-
gernc.
The ever popular Francis Wilson pre-
sented his latest opera "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac' last night to very large and
appreciative audience, and from
scenic point Of view, 1t was a great sue
cess. Compared with Half a King"
and 1.-THE Merry Monarch his previous
two successes, this attraction is not
likely to run as brilliantly. The seen.
cry is especially fine, the most notice
able being in the first and last acts.
The appointments are all gorgeous and
especially is 1t true of the costumes.
Among the principal musical numbers
are Mr.. Wilson's topical song in the
first act, and the duet Those Were the
Good Old Times You Know between
Mr.. Wilson and Miss Lulu Glasier.
Abundant opportunity Is given Mr.. Will
son to display his versatility, and he
does 1t in his accustomed rarely artistic
manner. AT the close of the second act
after repeated calls for a speech he re-
sponded in his usual happy style. He
is always a welcome visitor to this city
and this year, as in the past, was no
exception to the rule. The opera is in
three acts and follows the story Of the
original Cyrano very closely. 1t is
hardly necessary to speak of the music
as 1t is written in Victor Herberts best
vein. AS in the past season Mr.. Wilson
is ably supported by Miss Lulu Glasier
The impression has gone out that she
was not member of the cast this sea-
son. Such Is not the case, for she was
in the play and was accorded a most
tiattering reception last evening, which
as usual was well merited. While her
part was not suited to her, she made
the most of 1T, and shared with Mr..
Wilson the honors of the performance.
Miss josephine Knapp, another old
New Haven favorite, was also warmly
received. Peter Lang, who has been
with Mr.. Wilson a number of years,
has most excellent part to which he
did justice. Others deserving of spec
ial mention were Charles III. Bowers
and Miss Bessie Howard. Mr. Wilson
will appear again this evening present
ing this beautiful OPERA and he also
is assured by large audience. Miss
Glasier will also appear.
