BoNAPARTE is NOT FRENCH.
His Mother Was a Woman of Great
Force of Character.

Numerous references have been
madeeof late to the alleged French
ancestry of the new secretary of the
navy and comment is made on his
famous name, the Gallo quality of his
wit, the shrug of his shoulders and
the abundance of his gestures. AS a
matter of fact, there is not drop of
French blood in Charles ]. Bona
parties veins. His grandfather, Je-
rome Bonaparte, who married and
deserted Elizabeth Patterson before
he became King of Westphalia, was
a Corsican of Italian descent, while
the Pattersons were Scotch-Irish. The
new secretary's mother was down
east Yankee, a woman of great force
of character. During the civil war
she was aggressively for the Union,
in the midst of southern sympathizers,
and her influence was doubtless more
effective in molding this rigid moral
lists character and guiding his po-
litical preferences than the quarter
strain of foreign kings in his blood.

The Duke of the Abruzzi, who is
now preparing for an exploring expe-
dition in Central Africa, is undoubt-
eddy the most adventurous prince in
Europe. He seems to be perpetually
devising new means to crafty his de-
sire for physical and mental exhilara-

world from the clouds in his balloon,

Alps which no other mans foot has
been known to tread.

An AVERAGE EnqIishman.

Anthony Hope, the British novelist
and playwright, was educated for the
law, but says himself in his droll way
that he failed to make a living at
his profession and had to turn to
writing in self-defense. He declares
that in all his life of forty-one years
there has not come one incident that
is worth telling-he has just lived
"the average life of an English gen.
tleman."

Hidalgo last Tuesday night. The

death. THE HERALD extends SYM

Mrs. Vela.
Only twenty-eight cars of onions
have been shipped from Browns
vile so far this season, ten of
which went out this week. Forty
cars have been ordered for next
week and then the crop will move
right. A slight car famine has
had a tendency to retard shipments
to a certain extend, but this will
be remedied next week. Of course
many more cars have gone from
other stations along the line.
A letter from L. B. ShultZ, who
was with P. J. Campbell here for
several months last year in the
sewing machine business, announ-
ces the death of the young mans
mother in San Antonio a few days
ago. He is we'll known to many

thize with him in the loss of his
mother. Mr.. Shultz and wife left
San Antonio yesterday for Los
Angeles, CAL, where they will
make their home.
When the passenger train pulled
out from the depot this morning
there was apparently nothing the
matter, but after going couple of
blocks or so she stopped short.
The cause was a dead engine, and
it was necessary to take an engine
off the branch line before the train
could be taken out. This caused
delay of about three hours, the
train leaving at 11:45. Those who
have engines to deal with can ap-
preciate the situation. Even gas
oline engines fail to go sometimes
when most needed.
A HERALD reporter met today
Y. NJ. Donigan, R. ManaSian and
T. Anastas who have been here
the past few days on a prospecting
tour. They are committee from
an Armenian colony now located
in Waller county and were sent
down to the Brownsville country
to report upon the lands in this
section which are adapted to grape
culture. The gentlemen looked
over the section carefully and are
prepared to report on conditions
here for the culture of the wine
producing grape. In conversation
today they expressed themselves
as being thoroughly satisfied with
what they had seen and will say to
their fellow colonists in Waller
county that the Brownsville coun--
try is one of the most promising
they have ever seen for the indus
try in which they expect to engage.
In fact the gentlemen say if grape
vines were treated in Armenia as
they are treated here, they would
die the second year. These gen.
tlemen also visited the vineyards
near Matamoros on the other side
of the river and were very much
surprised and altogether delighted
with what they found in the way
of grape culture, though they say
no apparent attention had been
paid to the matter of pruning the
vines They saw Dri1niuP is an
