Some time ago, so General Man
ager Jeff n. Miller. of the Gulf
Coast Line, tells a HERALD repre-
sentative. he made a proposition TO
the city council Of Brownsville to
furnish as much as one thousand
cars of gravel at actual cost, for the
grading of two or three principal
streets of this city. 1t is calculat-
ed that this amount of gravel would
put at least three of the streets III
first class shape, and Elizabeth
street and one or two others lead
ing into the city should be treated
to a coat of this gravel, which was
used at the passenger depot and

As an evidence of the superior
merits of Brownsville watermelons
THE HERALD mentions the fact
that few days ago J. w. Thomas
shipped a car of melons to FL Paso
and some of them were sent to
President Diaz, of Mexico. His
honor, el Presidente, was so pleased
with the superior quality and favor
of the melons that he sent at once
an order for number to be sent
him daily by express until further
notice. Unfortunately the melon
crop is about harvested and Mr.
Thomas was compelled to notify
President Diaz that no more could
be obtained. This IS but another
proof of the oft repeated assertion
that the best of everything could be
grown in the Brownsville country
earlier than anywhere else.
Some time ago it was reported
by the press generally that Don
Jaime Mono, composer of the Mex
lean national air, was dead, but
later the gentleman was found to
be il Boston, enjoying good health.
He returned to Mexico and receiv-
ed a grand ovation in Mexico City
in honor Of his acknowledged abil-
ity as a composer, and also III cele-
bration Of his safe return TO the
country of his adoption. Senior
Mono is at present in Matamoros,
stopping at the Mataroros hotel,
and it is rumored he will give
series of concerts in that city.
Many composers have come forward
as claimants fer the honor OF the
Mexican air, but none have been
able to wrest from Senior Mono his
well earned laurels as the composer
of this we'll known and popular
music.

THE HERALD learns there will
bea very attractive program arrang-
ed at Matamoros for the celebra-
ton of July 4. Among the attrac-
tons will be a bull fight, with
famous bulls from the state of
Durango, which are well known
fighters, and this feature promises
to be great drawing card. A ball
game between Brownsville and Fl.
Brown mines will probably be one
of the attractions, and otheri features
will be arranged to make the day
an interesting one. Celestino
Garay tells us the entire program
will be announced in ample time.
