FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1903.
THIS is THE QUESTION.

The question is squarely up to
Brownsville: VIII she have the rail-
road or not? VIII she take sure
thing, OF will she cast it aside for
an uncertainty?
The Southern Pacific may con-
template the extension OF the Sap
from Alice to Brownsville, and,
again it may not. There is no IN
certainty in regard to Uriah Lofts
intentions. The Southern Pacific
may come through all right in its
present difficulty with the railway
commission and then it may build
the road to this place. However, 1t
has made US no definite proposition,
although it bad ample opportunity
to do so long before the commission
began proceeding to forfeit the
charter of the Sap. There are those
who believe that Mr.. Markham's
recent hurried trip to Brownsville
was made for the purpose which he
avowed. And there are those who
believe that it was made merely for
the purpose of blocking Mr.. Lofts
plans now so nearly accomplished.
We may all believe as we please on
that score. Yet it does appear most
probable that Mr.. Markham would
not have made his visit just at this
iuncture, if it had not been for
Uriah Lott and the splendid sue
cess which he has so far achieved in
securing a subsidy for his proposed
railroad to Brownsville. The South
ern Pacific has long considered
this lower Rio Grande valley as its
own territory, but it has neglected
to do anything for its own all these
wears. and who knows when 1t will
do anything If it succeeds in
ihwarting our present opportunity,
THE HERALD is not opposed to the
? Southern Pacific, and if at any
time within the existence of this
paper, that corporation had made
any definite proposition to build
road to Brownsville, THE HERALD
would have done what il could in
behalf of the enterprise. But, now
that Mr.. Lott comes to us with a
bona fide proposition from
reliable firm to build a railroad to
Brownsville within the short period
of a year and a half, and has
already secured by far the greater
pant of the bonus required for It's
construction, this paper can see no
reason why our people should not
accept it and do their best to comply
with Mr.. Lofts terms. 1t would be
height of folly to refuse this offer
which is to be materialized within
thirty days after the bonus is
pledged, for glittering uncertain
BY held out by the corporation which
has thwarted our plans and disap-
pointed our hopes more than once
In the past.
Our people cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with the actual Importance
Of the question now before them.
Mr.. Lott will submit his final
proposition to Cameron county and
Brownsville tomorrow. Every
person owning either property or
business interests in this county
should attend thiss meeting and
give Mr.. Lott fair hearing, and
then do his best to insnre this
great opportunity for securing a
railroad for Brownsville.

is particularly true of riding, which has
been even more generally adopted since the

The President rides every day, rain or

duties will permit 1t, Mrs Roosevelt accom-
panies him. Mrs Roosevelt never looks bet

riding habit sufting most admirably her
style, and to see her mounted on her beau
tiful dark bay horse ambling along at the
side Of the President, no one would for a
moment Judge her to be the mother of five
children, 50 youthful and girlish does she
appear.

long popular actress.
1t Is generally believed to be the clearest
indication that she Is practically at an end
OF her resources and is obliged to make

and affection she has always shown for her

There is one thing. however. which Miss
Rehan Will not sell. and this Is the scenery

self to part with this. for 1t was not only
her favorite play, but the one in which
she scored her greatest success.

Of the play. but at any rate she means to
keep all its belongings in her possession

Path Breaker For Lightning,

In the "Annalen der Physik" there is
paper by Herr Walter on the genesis
of lightning in which he shows that
lightning flashes are preceded by minor
flashes, which, as it were, feel the way
and mark the course for the major
fash or flashes. Something of the kind
is also observed in electric sparks. The
path, once marked, is utilized for fur
Their discharges; hence photographs of
lightning taken with moving camera
may show more than one flash One
picture shows three main flashes at in
tervals of OFT and .04S9 parts of
second between. OF course to the eye
they seemed one fash. Another pic
ture showed five flashes lasting alto
gether a quarter of a second. Although
signs of an alternating discharge were
seen on one picture, it may be taken
for granted that as a rule lightning is a
series of continuous discharges from
cloud to earth

TIE SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM.

1t is admitted that the servant girl
problem is one of the greatest of the
problems of the present day.
And the difficulty of getting compe-
tent and in every respect satisfactory
servant girls appears to be increasing.
Why this is so 1t is not easy to under
S and Perhaps it is because really
desirable servant girls are finding no
difficulty in getting husbands who are
in position to give them good homes.
A Chicago man, millionaire, has
undertaken to get servant girl to his
liking by offering to leave her 81, 0C0, =
900 IN his will. That is prize that IS
well worth working for The name of
this millionaire is John Farson. He is
the head of the banking firm of Far
son, Leach & Co. There is no doubt
about his purpose to adhere to the
terms of his offer. His residence is one
of the finest in Chicago, and it is re-
ported that the rooms set apart for his
servants are richly furnished, the
floors being covered with expensive
rugs and the wall adorned with costly
paintings.
The servant girl that comes up to
the standard, says Mr. Farson, must
be physically strong and capable, and
must also be a diplomat. She must be-
an efficient cook, nurse and dress
maker, and above all she must not be-
tattler. Mr.. Farson will look Ions
while before he finds such paragon
of girl. It would seem as if he were
quite safe in offering to leave such
girl 81 ,OOO,OOO
It is stated that he has had grea
many applications. There are no
lacking those who think they can fiji
the bill. He may, in the plan he hal
adopted, succeed in getting one O.
more first class servants. He is doubt
full if he succeeds in getting the cir
he describes in his offer.
