As yet THE HERALD has heard
of no special effort being made for
the proper celebration of the glo-
rious 4th. !" Almost every town in
the state has already entered into
active preparation for the obser-
vance of this day. Shall Browns
vile be behind and let the day go
by without some form of celebra-
ton. There is always a spirit of
putting off what should be attend
ed to at once, and it is time to cast
old customs and manner of doing
things aside, bring to bear up to
date methods, and keep pace with
Our neighbors. It is poor policy to
put off till mafiana what should be
done today.
Judge Forto is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. R. d. Bowen, who
accompanied Baron des Planches,
Italian Ambassador in the U. S.
IN his recent visit to the twin cities
of the border. The letter was writ
ten at the request of the Anbas-
sador who desires to thank the peo-
pie of Brownsville and Matamoros
and the officers OF both cities for
the many cOurtesies extended to
him during the short stay with us.
The Ambassador promises to write
to Judge Forto in the near future
but in the meantime requests Mr..
Bowen to convey his appreciation
for the kindly treatment he receiv-
ed at the hands of the officers and
citizens of both Brownsville and
Matamoros.
The project of the Sunshine So
ciety to raise funds for the purpose
of building a hospital in Browns
vile has been revived, and an ear
nest effort will be made by the
members of the society to add
sufficient to the small fund already
accumulated to enable them to
carry out their long cherished de-
sign as soon as possible. 1t IS
planned to give a series of lawn
fetes during the summer for this
purpose, the first being held Thurs
day evening at the Administration
building at Fort Brown, which has
been kindly offered to the society
by Major Cooke. Announcement
of the program for the fete appears
elsewhere in this evenings HER
AID. The benevolent object of the
Sunshine Society is one IN which
all Brownsville should be deeply
iuterested-for all must realize the
Importance of having a hospital
built here-and all are urged to
lend the most liberal aid to the
society. The lawn fetes should be
made a success.

Russia a very serious matter to attend
TO nearer home than Manchuria. 1t is
different from Petersburg, Moscow
and other Russian cities. different from
the political revolutions in Poland and
Finland. 1t appears to be fomented
by the Turkish ruler, who may think
he has discovered in Russia's weakness
an opportunity to regain some lost
territory. The Mussulmans who are
engaged in the present warlike
demonstration have no love for the
Christians of Russia or of Armenia.
A half dozen elements enter into the
disturbance, one. not the least, the
famine existing among the working
people, who will be melted from dire
need to engage in the work of pillage.
Baku is the chief seaport and the
seat of administration of Russian
Trans-Caucasia and is dominated by
the foregn element. The Tartars pre-
vail, this race constituting the bulk of
the laboring and small trading class of
the community; the Russians are next
in number and fill the official positions
as well as some of the commercial and
financial posts: the Armenians are the
most influential class, controlling the
business of the city. A week or two
ago the Tartars and Armenians COM
menced assassinating one another.
Malcontents and strikers have joined
the predatory ranks until Raku'S
streets have been running blood. The
Russian garrison is being reinforced
and hopes soon to have the situation
well in hand but at present is power

portion of Russia's possessions. sit
uated On the west coast of the Caspian
sea, almost down to the Asia Minor
line. 1t is OF great importance to
Russia as n naval station, and is
known especially for the rich petro-
leum wells in the neighborhood. these
same wells which the dispatches state
are being fired by the insurrectionists.
Baku owes its prosperity to its petro-
leum, the output having grown from
10000 tons in 1860 to more than 9,oo0,-
200 tons at the beginning of this CEN
tury. In addition to oil refneries
there are a number of mills, tobacco
factories and chemical works, giving
empl oyment to many thousand labor
ers. Baku'S population has increased
steadily. until today it is a city of

Baku's history is replete with strife.
1t has been known under its present
name since the seventh century,
though founded ut an earlier date.
In the eighth century, it, together
with the surrounding country, was
held by the Arabs; then it fell under
the rule Of the Khans of Shirvan, and
from the sixteenth till the nineteenth
century was in the possession of the
Persians: 1t finally passed to Russia
in 1906. and was made the chief town
of the district. becoming the seat of
administration for the entire Trans
Caucasian territory in 1859.
