Encarnacion CARA, who was re-
ported yesterday as having been
perhaps fatally wounded by officers
of the law in attempting his arrest,
died yesterday and was buried to-
day out the ranch near Muerto
where he was staying. There being
no coroner obtainable his body was
buried without inquest. The exam
lining trial of the parties connected
with the killings reported yesterday
is being held this afternoon in JUS
tice Gavito's court in the city.
The attention of The Herald's
Brownsville readers is called to the
ordinance relating to the cleaning
of the city, which is copied in-this
issue. 1t is good ordinance, and,
if enforced, should result in as clean
a city as may be found anywhere.
Perhaps if the city officers should
make a few arrests and impose a
few fines under this law, it might
have a salutary effect. Meanwhile
let our people read the ordinance
and let each one see that he does
not transgress it. provisions.
Doctor Layton says for the citiz-
ems to let up in their criticisms OF
the city fathers concerning the
unsanitary condition of the city.
What he meant to say was, that
filth is not the cause OF yellow fever,
but solely mosquitoes, which thrive
as we'll in clean town as IN a dirty
one. But there are other diseases,
which surely come right out OF the
dirt and trash and waste m. tier OF
the city. To prevent these we are
sure DR.. Layton will agree that the
city should be cleaned thoroughly
at once.

WESTERN FARM LABOR PROBLEM.

When the crops in the West are ready to harvest it is hard to get men to do the work. Last year there were tales of despairing farmers taking men off the railroad trains and putting them at work in the fields. Tramps were well come and got big pay for doing as little work as possible, and even the women had to help. Now there is talk in the West of allying farming and small the farm labor problem by offering em- ployment to men in those seasons of the year when farm work is not pressing. The St. Paul Pioneer-Press thinks that the cheap transmission of electric pow CT and, in less marked degree, the use of gasolene engines, indicate way in which small manufacturing businesses may be profitably carried on in neigh borhoods or even in farmhouses, such work as the finer branches of weaving, certain branches of wood working, or- namental wood working, etc. It asserts 1 that the demand for handmade articles | which bear the individual impress of the workman is increasing, and that in the finer branches of weaving certain 1 manufacturers are encouraging work
 men to operate looms in their own : houses, sometimes in way that affords
 employment to several members of a { family.
 This plan might not work extensively
 and it probably wouldn't, but the west
 erners want farm help so badly that l they will accept almost any suggestion hopefully.

NEST SUFFER OR PAY.

The anti-vaccinationist of Massachu- setts don't feel as badly as they would if they had the smallpox, but they are pretty sore. They carried test case to the Supreme court of the State, and the full bench sustained the decision of the lower court sustaining the order of local board of health for general vac cination. On the subject of the evidence offered, the court says that, while there may have been individual cases of in- jury from vaccination, general results have proved beneficial, and that not only have the medical profession and the people generally so regarded them, but legislatures and courts have acted upon them with general unanimity. As to vaccinating a person against his will, the court says: "If a person should deem it important that vaccination should not be performed in his case, and the authorities should think other wise, it is not in their power to vaccin- ate him by force, and the worst that could happen to him under the statute would be the payment of $5. The con- tention that the statute works unequal Iy in making an exception of minors and persons under guardianship is not well founGcd It only limits the liability to penalty for neglect of the require ments to persons who have a right to control their own conduct"
 Of course an anti-vaccinationist does
 mt want to pay $5 for the privilege oi
 not being vaccinated, but it is probably l worth that to him.

health; and yet there is a substratum of truth in the words, for there are both men and women to whom it appears to be an actual pleasure to talk about their ailments, real CT imaginary.
 A great many of our old sayings and quaint expressions have come down to us from past centuries, and are to be found more or less in the writings of our old authors, as, for example, "I don't care a f1g." or. as ii used more of ten to be, "a figo," which means fil- lip or snap of the fingers. are both to be found in Shakespeare. "A fig for Peter" '"The fgo for thy friendship" he says. There are many words now looked upon as slang which are in re- ality old words that were once in com- mon usage among our forefathers, and which have been revived again, as, for instance. jolly" Many persons pro- fess to dislike this word. and speak Of it contemptuously as modern slang. while in reality it is simply a devival, and used to mean ''very," and was in this sense used in commentary of the Bible in the seventeenth century in the following passage, "All was jolly quiet at Ephesus before St. Paul came thith- er."-The Lady.

THE NOmfNITIONS.

If anybody was looking for any lack of harmony in the Republican city and town conventions held Saturday evening he didn't seeit. It wasn't there, but there was exhibited spirit of harmony and confidence that was calculated to hurt the feelings of the Democrats who have had hope of the success of their ticket. The ticket made by the Republicans was we'll and unanimously made, and gives the voters an opportunity to do a safe thing by voting for it. The Re publican workers are enthusiastic, and though the time is short they are con- fdent that they will be able to 'get out the vote" Their organization is good and their efficiency has been often shown. They mean to elect their ticket this time, and they are sure that they have a good ticlEe: to work for and elect.

RAD IUM.

NJ. Curie, the distinguished French physicist, has just announced to the Academy of Sciences the marvellous fact that radium continuously emits heat without combustion, without chemical change of any kind and with out change in it's molecular structure, which remains spectroscopically identi- cal after many months of this appar- ently uncompensated emission of ener- gy. What is equally remarkable. ra- dium maintains it's own temperature at a point 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above its surroundings. The quantity of heat evolved is such that a pure radium salt evolves every hour heat enough to melt more than it's own weight of ice. To put it differently. half a pound of the radium salt would evolve as much heat as would be produced by the burning of one-third of cubic foot of hydrogen And this output of heat goes on contin- uously for an indefinite period, leaving the salt at the end of months of the same weight and power as at the be- ginning.
 It used to be believed that the sinner could burn forever without being burn
 ed up, and if radium can heat forever without losing weight and power it is truly wonderful. When it can be cheap
 ly produced it will be good thing tt

TRUE BLUE AND JOLLY QUIET.
 There are all sorts of quaint sayings and curious forms of expression in common and even daily use among us which we are all so accustomed to hear that they scarcely even strike us as being strange, and from whence they have been derived, or from what arisen. very few people have the least idea.
 The expression "true blue," which we hear so often, has not even an English parentage, but is said to have been Spanish saying, which meant that the blood that filled the veins of the aris- tocracy of Spain was blue in color, while that of inferior mortals was more or less black, and the provero that "true blue will never stain," in stead of meaning, as it is generally supposed, that "a noble heart will neV- CT disgrace itself" actually refers to the blue aprons worn by butchers on account of their not showing blood stains-a far jump this from the blue blood of the naughty Spanish aristo' crat to the humble apron of the butch- CTS boy. A quaint saying that country folk, especially, often make use ot when speaking of person who is not very we'll or strong, "Oh! he Cor she) enjoys very poor health" This sounds to most people a decidedly contradic-
 tory statement, for it is difficult tc think that any one can readily enjoy Ill

PORTABLE scHooLHoUsEs.


 A remedy has been found for the re- lief of crowded schools in large cities. This is known as the portable school bpilding Few of the larger towns Of the United States have as yet inausu- rated them, but before many years have passed the idea brought to this country from Paris will have become familiar to school-goers as we'll as school teachers, says Harper's Weekly.
 The school on wheels sounds like western idea, where houses are ire uuentty builder upon wagons, that the owners may move about to suit their convenience. So, instead of going 10 their home, they have their home brought to them. In St. Louis, where yhe schools have become crowded until good teaching was almost impossible, these portable buildings have done much toward the relief of the situation.
 The idea of portable school buildings first came from Paris. Then the idea reached the United States, about five years ago, and Milwaukee was first to adopt it. In St. Louis, which next adopted the portable schoolhouse, the plan was a great success. Several large eastern cities have within the last year or so commenced on small scale to have portable schoolhouses as part of the educational facilities,
 In St. Louis there has been great influx of people on account or the Worlds Fair When the city schools opened a few weeks ago the increase was enormous, but the schools were we'll able to care fer them. The porta- ble school building, however, is all that saves them, and when in any neighbor- hood there is a likelihood of an over- crowdlng, a portable school building is at once moved in. At present there are twenty-seven schoolhouses of this kind in the Worlds Fair city, and all of them are in use.
 These portable school buildings are so constructed as to enable the school board to order them sent anywhere at any time. They are easily taken apart and moved from one schoolhouse to an- other. They are set up in the regular district school yard. In St. Louis where the portable school plan has reached perfection from actual use, the portables are made of frame, are twen- 1 ty-six by thirty-six feet inside meas urement, with a clear-story height oi twelve feet. The floor is constructed in eight sections, the sides in six sec tions, the ends in four sections and tho pitched roof in sixteen sections. Each section is built upon frames which arc readily bolted together in such a man ner as to make a perfectly tight anc secure room; all joints between the sec tions are covered, both inside and out by movable pieces secured with screws The rooms are heated and ventilated by an indirect furnace with double ca-' ing. The fresh tie is taken directly from the outside, which supply canno be cut off by the teacher. The building costs about eight hundred and fifty dol
 lars. .~a
 The valuable point is the readiness
 with which portable school can b
 sent into a neighborhood that becomes
 suddenly over-crowded, and where tn
 studies of those who have been in regu lar attendance are interferred with.
