a SOCIAL SUCCESS.
Elegant Farewell Ball Tenders d
Departing OEicers.


Cavalry, last evening at the opera
house; was most delightful affair,
aud IN every way success. The
opera house was very tastefully
and effectively adorned. The decor
ations were designed in deferencs
to the military guests of honor
The national colors were represent
ed by strips of cambria which were
suspended from the walls and
drawn gracefully together under
the center of the ceiling. Huge
American and Mexican flags were
draped over the stage curtain,
which was down, and the troop
flags Of Troop L, 9th. Cav, and
Troop e, 10th. Cav. were crossed
in the center of the curtain, with
crossed swords under them. Cav
airy swords and flags also adorned
the wall over the entrance to the
hall, while over the wall lamps
bayonetS were crossed. a gatling
gun draped with flags stood in
front of the stage, and muSketS
were stacked in the corners Of the
hall. OF more peaceful aspect
were two immense japanese UNI
brellaS suspended between the chan
deliers. The Brownsville opera
house never presented a more at
tractive appearance. The popular
Anzaldua band was engaged for
the evening.
Dancing began about half past
eight, the program, which compris-
ed waltzes, poikas, redovas, danza:
aud an occasional lancers, conUinu-
ing until the "wee sma' hours OF

cool enough to make dancing a
pleasure, the floor was good, the |
music excellent, and it is 10 ex-
aggeratiOn to say that the partici-
pants all had "lovely time"
Supper was served at midnight
in the "little opera house," the

steps from the ball room. 4 long
table which accommodated fifty
guests at time was spread with
tempting array OF delicious ham,
0iehes, chicken and potato salad,
olives, cheese, crackers, with cake

THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Latin or Greek.

70 the Editor OF he Times:
In the Evening Times OF March y is an
Item from the Cleveland Leader contain
ing the following statement;
The Vatican library has the only known
copy Of the New Testament written before
the end Of the fourth century
The Vatican library was founded by SiA-
rus ~. whose pontiGcate was from l4Ii to
1854. Its Greek codex OF the New Tesla
msnt was first cataiogued in li15. Whence
fl was acquired is not known. Nicholas
V r447-1455l began to collect manuscripts
for his library. which may have been the
beginning Of the Vatican collection.
The Codez Bczae is said to have been
procured by Beza from the Benedictine
monastery az Lyons in 1862 and presented
in 1881 to the Cambridge Library. It has
the Greek and Latin in parallel columns.
OF this codeN the judgment OF Dr. Marsh
l-57-lS3ei is as follows,
with respect TO Jhe comparative anti
guilty of Codey Bezae with that Of other
MSS. We may safely say that no one can
be put In competition with it except the
Codex Vaticanus. II il be ask

] answer. To the Codex Bezae, for the
Codex Vatieanus has accents and marks Of
aspiration. which were added by the per
son who wrote the Ms itself"
In 1922 the Rev. John Black. of Scot
land published a work Of extensive re-
search. entitled "Palaeoromaies, or His
torical and Philosophical Dispositions, -
etc. in which he maintained that the re-
ceived text OF the Greek Testament is

translation Of an earlier Greek version,

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG.
Prevents Many People From Trying
q lnnd Medicine.


stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases SO obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure FOR dyspepsia and indigestion Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged. especially in
medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged can be
carried too FAR. So far. In fact. that many
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally
used as S,uart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now. S,u3rts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect

Advances in the Pacifcs. the grangers,
the soft coalers. the Southern, and the
trunk line securities will probably con-
tinue this week. The doubtful portions OF
the market are the anthracite coalers, the
steel and iron industrials. aud the traction
securities. As to the coal stocks, it is not
doubted that an advance will soon begin,
but there is no particular evidence OF an
immediate movement The outlook Tor
these securities, however. is especially fine.
The enhanced rates OF freight will cause
comparisons OF earnings az the end Of each
month to show increases which will startle
capitalists. The entire management of the
coal trade bids fair to be brought under
careful and intelligent business direction
instead Of being carried on IN the slipshod
manner which has heretofore enabled
friends to make enormous profits out OF

probable that sales agents in the anthracite
