Written for THE HERALD.

Written for THE HERALD.
A genuine and deep sorrow came
to the Catholic population of
Brownsville this morning with the
intelligence of the death of the
Rev. Father Etienne VignOlle,
whose demise took place at one
o'clock last night at the residence
of the Oblate Fathers Of this place.
Death brought forth a full realiza-
ton of what his life had meant
and the 81 years of his priesthood
stood out in beautiful reIief-a
seml-centennary of labor for God,
of devotion to souls. Father Wig
nolle had for some time previous
to his. death been Incapacitated by
physical suffering for the tangible
administration of his oacerdOtal
office, but his mind and heart held
constant and affectiOnate remem
brance Of the flock he could no
longer tend, in special manner
of those obscure ones whom the
world calls poor.
Father VignOIle was born at Pau,
Basse Pyrenees, in the year 1917.
He entered the ObIate order IN
1850 and was two years subsequent
Iy ordained priest by Monseign-
eur Mazenod, Bishop of MarseilIes
and founder of the Congregation of
OblateS of Mary immaculate.
In the year of his ordination, he
came to Galveston with the Rever
end Fathers Gage, Olivier, Parisot,
Verdit, aud Kerularn There re
manned in Galveston Fathers Par
isot and Viguolle for the purpose
of funding St JoSpph'S College,
which was afterwards transferred
to the Jesuit Fathers. Both of
the abOve-named priest were re-
moved to Brownsville IN 1857, /
where they rejoined the Faith
ers Olivier, Verdict and Keru-
lam, who had constructed a
small frame building as church
and residence here. After a brief
stay in Brownsville, Father Wig |
uOlle was placed in charge of a !
pastOrate in Victoria, TamauIipas. |
He was subsequently assigned to
MatamorOs, and in 1867 be was re-
turned to Brownsville. Thence he
was placed in charge of the Point
Isabel mission, which he admins
tered for twenty years. Failing
health finally forced him TO give
up active work, and, as already |
stated, he lived, in Seclusion dur /
ing the last few years of his life
a life replete with the charity which |
fired the Zeal of the AugustIneS, /!
the Benedicts, the BernardS, the
Francis the Terpsas-of the zeal /
that has gwen rise to the many
ilIuStriouS orders IN ihe Church F.
Militant, all united in the profes-
sion of the one same divine faith. "

EDWARD FLYNN IS
 FINED IN SELMA
PAYS $40 ON ACCOUNT OF HIS SHOOTING SCRAPE WITH JIM LEATH-6ASEBAL ALL THE TALK IN SPORTING CIRCLES.

Selma, May 7.-(Special. )-This morning when the Mayors Court was called to or der MT Edward Flynn was seated within the railing, having reached the city on the midnight train last night. When his case was called MT. Flynn stated that the reason he did not appear yesterday was that he misunderstood the agreement supposed to have been reached with the city attorney Saturday last. MT. Flynn thought that having agreed to plead guilty to the charge of assault with a weapon and having left with the city attorney S35, the amount agreed upon as fine, his presence would not be re- quired here yesterday. Mayor Mcleod at first started to go Into the case, but final ly accepted the agreement of the city at torney and MT. Flynn was permitted to plead guilty of an assault with weapon instead of assault with intent to murder and was accordingly fined $35.
 In the matter of the forfeiture of S100 taken against the bondsmen of MT Flynn for his non-appearance yesterday the same was dismissed upon $5 being paid. The shooting scrape at the pavilion dur ing the meeting of the Federation Of La bor cost MT. Flynn $40, to say nothing or the expenses of two trips to Selma.
 In the two games of baseball between the Central University of Kentucky and the Young Mems Christian Association team of this city, the locals lost both. In the last game played yesterday the Young Mems Christian Association boys had the visitors shut out up to the seventh in- ming and were five scores to the good The Kentucky team then made one In the seventh, one in the eighth and four in the ninth, winning the game.
 Claude Grayson. Jr., of this city is seaman aboard the battleship Massachu- sets now off Fortress Monroe. In a let ter to his father he states that he is en- toying the sweets of life on the rolling sea, all on account of his proficiency in ball playing. It seems that while aboard the Buffalo some months ago at Trinidad he caught a game of ball for the ships crew against the soldiers there and it was through is good playing that the Buffalos team was the winner So elated was the lieutenant commanding and the crew at the good playing of Grayson that they carried him back to ship on their shoulders and made hero of him. That night at a banquet given he was the guest of honor, the United States consul being seated at one end of the table and Grayson at the other. When the Buffalo went to Manila he was transferred to the Massachusetts and recommended to the good graces of the officers. This he has enjoyed and for the first time since his enlistment over a year ago he is having an easy time.
 Pensacola paper has stirred up the Young Mems Christian Association base ball team to some extent by stating that a series of games will be opened in that city by the team from Selma, the first game to be played Sunday. Now Selma does not stand for Sunday ball, even with a league team, and of course the Young Mems Christian Association team would not think of playing on Sunday; hence the wrath.

to be considered in the location of cotton manufacturing plants, is the question of healthfulness. Huntsville, since Its earl lest history, has been noted in this re- gard. We are in the midst of cotton fields on competing railroads and near the Tennessee river, insuring low freight rates A very large area of country is closely settled with native Americans, who have not found farming during the past few years very profitable, and who have been drifting to the mills. These people are easily taught and make the yer! hest class of labor in the world
 'rhe people of Alabama all know of the wonderful supply of water within the im- mediate vicinity of this city The Mer- rimac mills, 0 large corporation with headquarters at Lowell, Mass, have here plant rdnnins about 3O,OOO spindles, and have az d te histall here 100000 spin dies, together with print works and a bleacher for the handling of their cloth They have spring second only to the noted spring of Huntsville, which sup plies them with about 2O.000.O0O gallons Jf water daily, and, with about 700 acres of land and a magnificent charter grant ed by the state of Alabama, they are lay ing plans for building here the largest plant of its kind In the United States
 Huntsville now has nine cotton mills and will soon have eleven, as arrange ments have been made for two more mills to be built here this season. The mills of Huntsville are today manufacturing great varities of cotton goods from the coarse to the finest grade of yarns, 25, GOO bales of cotton being consumed here an- nually. The Merrimac mills are manufac- turing print cloth; the Dallas mills with 50000 spindes, are manufactur-

ing shirtings and sheetings; the Rowe Knitting Company are making high grade underwear-shirts and draw CTS of all sizes; the Eastern Manufactur- ing Company are making the highest grade of goods in the South. namely, shirtings, stripes chambrles and ging- hams; the Lowe Manufacturing Company, using the long staple cotton, are making yarns as fine as number fifty, which few years ago our Northern friends said could not be made in the South; the West Huntsville cotton mills are manufactur- ing twines, hosiery yarns carpet yarns and large variety of yarns for the man. ufacture of carpets and other coarse tex tiles. All the mills are prosperous. Even during seasons of general depression in the cotton industry, the mills of Hunts vile have always shown good earnings.
 Besides the wonderful advantages we have for the manufacture of cotton, continued MT. Pratt, the manufacture of cotton mill supplies, especially such

This is done because of the fact were they kept here the leaves would be bud ding before the time to plant them in the northwest.
 MT. Chase told me this afternoon that the annual sales from his nursery would amount to from s70,0OO to $S0,000 He, how ever, tells me that he has labor .ac- count of something like S25,0OO annually.
 An acre of ground on this farm produces about 12,000 fruit trees, and in carload lots they sell all the way from s25 to $76 per thousand. Elberta fruit trees have been selling recently as high as $50 thou sand. Of course, the Elberta peach Is grafted on a hardy seeding. The seed which produces the stem in the nursery, as a rule, comes from the mountains of North Carolina, where the trees are very hardy.
 Perhaps the nursery industry, all told of this county brings into 1t nearly half a million dollars of foreign money an- nuaHy.
 Of course, Huntsville has a number of old and prominent families and many men of energy and enterprise, some of whom conspicuous in affairs of the present day Artist Blackman caught with his pencil while on the streets this morning. They are reproduced herewith.
 And, by the way Huntsville has the distinction of being alone In one respect among Alabama towns. It has, besides a great industrial school for negroes, b. cated some three miles in the country a large negro population in the city and two negroes on It's Board of Aldermen. They come from two wards in the city inhabited almost exclusively by negroes. Of course, next year, under the new con- stitution, this feature of Huntsvilles city government will be changed. Only fifty-one negroes have been registered in Madison county and these will not count for much in local elections Thus, after this year, the negro element of Huntsville's council will be done away with.

EX-CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Capt. A. G. Reynaud, Who Served Un-
 der the Gallant Forrest.

Chattanooga. May 7.-(Specia1.)-Capt A c. Reynaud is dead at his home in Chickamauga, Ga, aged 6S years. He was born on the island of Martinique, and his father owned an adjoining plan tation to the En press Josephine His parents moved to Cuba when he was quite small and then to Paris. He was educated in the finest military schools at Toulouse, which place he left at the age of IS years, corning to America just before the civil war.
 He went into the Confederate army from Mempt's as captain of scouts under Gen. 3. Forrest, with whom he was personally acquainted and a great favorite. When there was a dangerous piece of work to be done he was always picked as the leader to execute 1t. He was wounded several times, was taken prisoner and kept at Little Rock for eight months. He was wounded once near the ear, causing a loss of hearing in one ear.

nace or iron mines or coal mines. There Is a little coal mine out on Monte Sano mountain, but 1t has never been operated to any extent. The coal used here is shipped from the Warrior district above Birmingham.
 The principal business of Huntsville, and the business from which 1t has made and Is making its wealth, Is cotton and cotton products. It receives 4O,00O bales of cotton annually, brought In here for sale and manufactures 2500O bales of this product into cotton goods. By next wear 1t will probably manufacture it's full receipts of cotton. Contracts have already been made to increase the ca- pacity of one of the largest mills here by adding 100000 spindles and the necessary looms to consume the product. It Is said that this extension will add at least 5000 \people to the town within year. Indeed Tracy w. Pratt, who has perhaps done more than any other man in Huntsville to develop 1t as @ cotton manufacturing point. tells me that in two years Hunts vile will be the largest cotton manufac- turing center, not only in the South but in the United States All the mills here now are paving; the labor is healthy and contented and everything is favorable for great development.
 MT. T, w Pratt, who has done more than any other man here toward the es- tablishment of the many textile plants at this point and who is a most sanguine believer in Huntsville's future growth and prosperity. spoke in this strain today: After a residence = eleven years in Huntsville, the banrsr town ot North Alabama and the commercial center of the northern part of the state, the largest

LOSS OF FLESH.
What Medical Authorities Say as to the
 Danger Line.

What Medical Authorities Say to the
 Danger Line.
 Some of the best medical authorities say that if a person loses one-third of his weight, that the system will not have power enough left to ever recuper- ate. That is to say, if a man or woman who weighs 150 pounds in health should, for any cause, be reduced to 100 pounds, they could not recover, but would shortly die. This fixes the danger line at 8SH per cent. Some say the per cent. is little higher, and some say 1t is little lower. But this estimate Is probably nearly correct.
 Are you losing flesh? If so, do you not know that it is not only foolish but dangerous? You need not continue to lose flesh another day if you will use the proper remedies.
 Peruna is 8 great flesh producer. It is through the mucous membranes of the body that all the nutrition must be absorbed. If the mucous membranes are healthy, the loss of flesh is rapidly re- stored.
 Peruna produces healthy membranes. Unhealthy mucous embranes is known as catarrh. Catarrh may be slight or severe. Peruna always cures. catarrh wherever located.
 Catarrh of any of the vital organs leads to loss of flesh. The catarrh may be so slight as to give no other warning save the loss of flesh. Any one who is losing flesh for no apparent reason, can be sure that catarrh is at the bottom of it.
 Peruna Is sure to cure such cases.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Perunn, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ads vice gratis.

 Huntsville is a cattle market of large proportions. It also produces some of the finest horse flesh in America. w. F. Garth has his Piedmont Stock Farm two miles from the city, where he raises some of the best trotting horses produced in this country. He has nearly 1bO head at prcsert, some of which have records un- der 2.10. He made a shipment on Saturday Of IT heaC of two-year-old colts to Cleve- land, O., where they will be sold next week. MT. Garth realizes anywhere from S200 to S25OO for his trotters as two-yeTi'- olds. He sells from 2C to 40 young trot- tcrs annually, end Is said to be making a hardscme profit out of the business. Of course he has his own track for train- ing purposes, ard indeed one of the most complete stock farms in the country. He owns 4OOC acres of land nearly all of which is under cultivation or in pastur- age.

 Huntsville likewise has a furniture fac tory making bedroom suites exclusively; it has two oil mills; a fertilizer factory; a factory making coverings for cotton mill rollers a number of saw mills and blaming mills, and indeed all the other adjuncts of a modern city, including a bottling works, which has capacity of 800 dozen bottles of mineral and soda wa ter daily.
