IT Is to be regretted that our
citizens did not take hold OF the
enterprise to celebrate the Glorious
Fourth which vas set on foot by
the fire company. and help to make
it more of a success. The failure to
do so was due doubtless in a large
measure to the fact that the matter
was given so little publicity. 1t was
not generally known until the pre-
ceding day that such a thing as a
parade was contemplated. However,
the firemen themselves turned out
and made a fine display. They
deserve great credit for their enter
prise in getting up the celebration.
Next year, should they again un-
dertake it all of the people OF
Brownsville should cooperate with
them and all do their best to make
tbs celebration grand success.
That of Saturday constituted
rather sad commentary upon the
patriotism of the American citizens
of this place, as the entire program
was organized and carried out by
our Mexican-American population.
Next time it is to be hoped We
Americans may make a better
showing for ourselves.

A delightful time was enjoyed Sa-
turday afternoon at St Joseph's
College by the children of the Ca
tholic Sunday Schools of Browns
vile and Point Isabel, the latter
coming up on the Saturday NOR
ming train. The children assembled
at the church about o'clock and
marched to the college, with a band
of music, making quite long and
pretty procession. At the college
games and sports of many kinds
were devised by the teachers apd
friends of the young people to en-
terrain them, and the time passed
very happily. Ice cream and cake,
candies and other dainties were
served to all, adding much to the
delight of the children. vt late
hour they dispersed, carrying with
them pleasant memories of happy
afternoon, and filled with gratitude
to the kind teachers who provided
such a treat for them,

Brief Romance Of Little Woman.
ll.. No. Wells. Rri

MANY OF our readers will remember
the sketch published in these columns,
several months ago, of Chiquita, the
smallest normally developed woman
in the world, and how she escaped
from her manager under whom she
had executed a contract for years
exhibition to marry her boy lover.
Toney Woeckner, aged II, cornetist
in the band which played for the show
in which she was the chief attraction.
They simply eloped, it will be recalled.
and after they were married, walked
the streets hand-in-hand nearly the
whole night, because no hotel would
receive them, all the clerks replying:
1--WE don't take children" They
were finally found by clown of the
company, who seized the midget and
carried her to Bostwick, her manager.
Her husband had much trouble in re-
covering his wife and finally kidnapped
her, by aid OF some friends, the little
lady being let down from an upper
window in a coal-scuttle.
1t seems that after this wave OF
trouble the current has ran smooth,
and now an interesting episode in the
family history is afforded by the fact
that the midget is about to become a
mother, and is spending her time in
making the oldest little doll-clothes.
She is fairly bubbling with delight over
the new experience and the husband
seems 10 be equally pleased. Cha
quita, who is no bigger than large
sized doll, being only 26 inches tall, is
so glad that her doctor is said to find
it difficult to keep her from standing
on her head, feat she performed in
her stage-life.
The little woman was born in Ma.
tanzas, Cuba, in 1870, and is the eldest
of five children, all the others being
of usual size. She is admirably pro-
portioned. Her hand is three inches
long and her foot half an inch longer.
A three-eighths ring easily slips over
her thumb. Her head is shapely and
covered with glossy black hair reach
ing below her waist.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.
The Census Shows a Steady Growth in Num-
Der of Pupils.

They are apportioned in the several
wards as follows: First-girls la,

It's, boys $50, and Sixth-girls lis
and boys 10l.
The increase from year to year is
shown by the following figures: In

THE MILLENNIUM IN SIGHT.-An
Eastern exchange says that the Con-
gregational, the Methodist and the
United Brethren churches have taken
the first active steps for effecting
union of interest and harmony of ef-
fort in the cause OF religion. Plans
were formulated for submission to
three respective societies, and within
the next two years it is thought these
congregations will be amalgamated or
operating under joint control. 1t is
proposed to unite the foreign mission.
AIRY bodies, so that the three churches
will have practically one set of mis-.
sions, reducing the expense and. in.
cressing their efficiency. The move:
ment is one OF the most importance to
the religious world and it is thought
may lead to union OF all Protestant
churches. They have found that,
however far their pathways may di.
verge from the straight and narrow
road they cross 80 often in their at
times incorporate zeal, to reach COM
mon goal, that they all end, if con-
science is the guide, at the pearly gate.

THE CATTLMEN HAVE No GROUND
FOR CONTEsT.-U. S. Judge Raymond
for the Western District OF Indian
Territory has made decision which
will invalidate leases on two million
acres of Greek Indian lands. He
holds that parent of an Indian has
no authority to lease the lands of his
minor children unless he has by legal
procedure been made guardian. Such
cases are rare, hence many thousands
OF acres, allotted to minors have been
irregularly leased by their parents to
aud others, and these con-
tracts will not stand. The Greek ma
ton have an area of 3,O72,S13 acres OF
land. and fully 100000 of it has been
leased to outsiders. Probably 100000
have been leased legally, and the
remainder is held subject to will Of
their owners. The cattlemen have
restricted settlement so much by fenc.
ing in large tracts for grazing, that
the government is determined to put
stop to a monopoly that rebounds 70
strongly against public policy.
