Of Mrs. NJ. G. Reed, that of Mrs. Mary
NJ. Clark and that Of German Gillian.
The only criminal ease IN court was
that against Willie Vaughan and Bur

last week stole a beef from a farmer
and sold it to w. II. Burger Of Farm

A Sad Providence.

A sad Providence has visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. r. n. Foster
during the past two weeks, i'm which
time two of their little children have
died. An account of the death Of their
son, Clarence, was recorded in the
HERALD Of last week. On Friday last
Cathaline, aged two years and one
week, also died, and was buried on the
following morning.
The sadly bereaved parents haye the
sympathy Of all our people.
One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished
Brighten but TO pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter,
AS We near the shining shore,
For we Frow across the river
Wait tine loved ones gone before.

When Max Nordau issued his book
on Degeneration, proving to his OWL
satisfaction that most men are fools ol
worse, the sweeping way in which he
wrote it carried with it certain
amount of conviction and many a good
man and true began examining him.

the lunacy that Nordau seemed to see
everywhere Those with good sound
sense in them soon came To see that
Nordau was simply making problem
and very large one-out of COM

reminds one of the gentleman farmer
who gave much study To the subject Of
potato bugs and finally decided that
potato bug was not TO be found on any
other than a potato plant. Couse-
quently when he crossed a ferry one
day and saw "a potato bug crawling on
a mans coat, he made big problem
out of this little matter because it re-
futed his theory. Happy was he, how
ever, that after all the mans name
was Murphy.
We are all occasionally apt to take
some little fact aud so magnify it that
for the time being it shuts out all the
rest of tine world with its truths and
its falsehoods, its problems and It's so-

mon0maniacs such as Nordau delights
to discover, but if given little time

does not make a disease and that one

Speaking of Mr. >Greenwall's retirement,
the Times Democrat says:
Mr. Greenwall's withdrawal will excite
the greatest Interest in theatrical circles
all over the country. For some years
past as most play-g oers are aware, Bit
ter warfare has been waged between the
important circuit which he controlled
and managed and the rival organization
headed by Slaw G. Erlanger. AL Hayman
and other managerial magnates. The
strategic key to the situation, as far as
the South was concerned, has been New
Orleans, this city forming a connecting
bond between the Northeast and South
west. Il constituted an all-importsnt link
in the chain OF theaters from New York.
through Texas and thence to California,
and the struggle resulted eventually in
the erection of the two new play hoNses,
the Crescent and the Tulane, owned and
operated by Klaw Erlanger & CO.
Mr. Greenwali assigns as his reason for
giving up the Grand that he had lost so
much money on II OF late years, paying
$4,000 a year for the lease that he an
tlcipated in the renewal that the company
controlling fho house would make him
scme concessions In order that he might
recoup his losses but falling to secure the
concession asked for, he simply surrend-
cred the lease.
Mr. Greenwall does not contemplate Civ
ing up his Texas houses but on the con-
trary he will likely devote more Of his
personal time and attention to their man
agement

No Excitement Now.

The excitement caused by the an
nouncement Tuesday that one case of yell
low fever had appeared in New Orleans
has almost subsidized. and many people in
Houston are now inclined to doubt the
geluineness of this case. Others believe
that it was merely a sporadic case and are
hopeful that no further cases will develop.
Some of the Houston doctors express the
belief that a State quarantine was unneces-
sary under the circumstances, While others
believe that the State health officer was
fully justified in taking this precautionary
step
Dr. D. F. Stuart in speaking of the mat
ter yesterday, said 10 in his opinion a
State quarantine was altogether unwar-
ranted on the report of this one case at
New Orleans. He regretted very much that
such hasty action had been taken
II is understood that there will be a
conference of physicians held here this
morning to arrive at a consensus oil
opinion upon the subject
