TINT EXTENSION FROM
ALICE.

While disclaiming any DISPOSE
ton to "knock" the proffers of the
Southern Pacific, The HERALD can't
refrain from saying that years ago,
and often and often. the opportuni-
fy has been presented to that rail
road company to extend the Aran-
sas Pass from Alice to Brownsville,
but all our efforts were useless.
They pooh-poohed the idea, laugh
ed in our faces, spit on the prop
osition and told US to go away
back on the desolate rivers rim
and sit down and await their
pleasure. In other words, this sec
fion was regarded as their exclusive
property; its resources were theirs
70 exploit at will; its people simply
their servants, and we would have
TO abide their time before getting
railway connection with the out
side world.
But lately, behold, change has
come over the spirit of their dreams;
they have discovered that they held
not the monopoly-the mortgage
an tbis section-that they thought
they possessed; their interests are
threatened by the independent
movements of Mr.. Yoakum, Col.
Lott and others. Now they are will
: ing to entertain propositions; they
are full of Establishments and eaiol-
ING and make-belief to this people
chat our wishes have all along
Been earnestly and anxiously
entertained by the Southern Pacific
management, but owing to certain
gegal complications they have been
unable to grant our prayers as
speedily as they had hoped to do
But everything is settled now, the
legal Instructions are removed, the
vay is clear and we are asked to be
Iieve that just as soon as men ano
money can do the work the ex
tension from Alice will be made.
That is all very nice. 1t makes
an interesting story, and woul(
read we'll in a boat of moon ligh
night floating on the placid bosom
of the Rio Grande. But here on tn
busy streets OF Brownsville, in tn
dav time and engaged in the at
fairs of trade the story appear
different; it seems like romance
pure and simple.
Still. we shall not knock"

GENERAL LEONARD WOOD.

The conclusion has been arrived
at by persons and papers that may
be considered impartial, that the
attacks upon General Leonard
Wood, including charges OF corrupt
practices on his part while governor
general in Cuba, and insinuations
20 the effect that the praise which
has been bestowed upon him was
due to inspired articles by I'M
worthy tools, was nothing less than
persecution. General Woods
friends make the counter charge
that the accusation and insinua-
tions against him are pure calum-
MES and base inventions by his
enemies. Be that as it may, the
burden of proof surely rests upon
his accusers. Americans are not
wont 20 convict a man OF. crime
without fair trial, and before the
! law he is considered innocent until
his accusers prove him guilty by
unimpeachable evidence. 1t is to
be regreatty, however, that the
really great and useful work
accomplished by General Wood, in
bringing order out of chaos in the
war-swept island of Cuba, should
be dimmed by such accusations,
whether false or true. 1t was
inevitable perhaps that one who
. forged forward as Leonard Wood
, has done, from comparatively
unknown physician to the rank Of
, brigadier general, with prospects Of
being the commanding general Of
the army in the not far distant
future, should have aroused envy
and thus have made enemies, II
may be true even that his conduct
has given some foundation for tht
: charges against him. Without al
open investigation, the average
E observer cannot possibly decide
, upon his case. Still, even his wors
t enemies cannot deny the triumph
2 which Wood achieved in Cuba dur
e ing the brief American occupation
e OF the island, and all Americans
must feel gratiied at the evidence

ECZEMA The Worlds Greatest
 Skin Torture Many Infants are Bern
 with Eczema It's the Only Thing Some Folks Have Left When They Die
THE ONLY INVALUABLE
 CURE IS CUTICURA

It is in the treatment of this most dis dressing of torturing and dis6guring skin and scalp hnmOurs, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Origi- nal in composition, scientifically con- pounded, absolutely pure, unchangeablc in any climate, always ready, and agree able to the most delicate, they presentto those suffering from Eczema the most successful curativeo of modern times. We know that this will be considered strong language by those acquainted with the character and obstinacy of the disease under consideration, but it is justified by innumcrable successes where all the remedies and methods in vogue have failed to cure, and, in many cases, to relieve. even.
 The first step in the treatment of the chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap The sSalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet will require frequently thorough soaking iD order to penetrate the thickened slTin and cruss with which these parts are often covered. Dry carefully, and ep- ply Cuticnra Ointment, lightly at first. and where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvcnt, pills or liquid, in medium doses. Do not use cold water in bath ing, and avoid cold, raw winds

spoke of one of them as a very nice young fellow, and then wished that he could get another of them in a room by himself and give him a good beating. Bl5B HAS AN
 INNOCENT FACE.
 Bibb was dressed nicely. He wore a straw hat, high turned-down collar and small bow tie. He had on rather loud stripped shirt and no vest. His trousers are of light stripe and seemed not to have been pressed for several days. His hair Is light and was parted in the center. He makes a good appear ance and has an innocent face.
 He appeared somewhat nervous and would start as soon as any one entered the room. He looked straight at any one and then would shift his eyes in a ner- vous manner. He never looked long at any one. and his actions were those of a man under great nervous strain and hiding his real feelings under a veneer ing of jest
 On the train coming to Birmingham Bibb did not sleep at all. He was rest less and nervous, and talked freely. It seemed impossible for him to close his eyes.
 Soon after he arrived at the office of 1Tltl WitT It CdilG luce tO LdCe WlIn w. s. George, who told the police all that led to Bibbs arrest. He looked at George a second and then said:
 Now you have played hell, haven't you?''
 George did not answer. and shortly af- forwards there was conference held in which George and Bibb took part. The result of it has not been made known.
 Yesterday afternoon Bibb gave the of ficers a combination to the Union ticket office safe. It was shown Captain Jack w. Johnson and it Is stated it was true. The combination was the one secured through the engineers glass by Bibb.
 Detectives Saunders and Barthell re- turned last night to Nashville on the 9:12 train. The former had receipt in his pocket for the delivery of his prisoner and the promise of the $500 reward as soon as the money was recovered.
