Congressman Adams, q man of

himself because, I. He cannot pay

What did he gain by killing

Committing suicide did not help
his creditors any. Had he lived

to pay his debts. In the grave
where he is gone there IS nothing

and made nothing right. He lost
everything and gained ignominy.
His second reason is no better.
No doubt he was tired Of tife-

Oh hLNf-N ron GOV OALOo-
Apropos of the splendid and
continuous work of Hon. Jno.
Garner, congressman from the Fiji
keenth district, the following edi-
torial from the Laredo Times will
be approved by the people of the
Brownsville country generally, who
recognize in Mr.. Garner, man who
does things, and a man whose vo-
cabulary contains no such word as
fail. His last achievement for
this section was the securing of
favorable report on the establish
ment OF a plant laboratory at or
near Brownsville, which Is recog-
nized as one of the most important
matters affecting this locality.
What Is true of this section is also
true of every section comprising
she Fifteenth congressional district,
aud THE HERALD joins the Times
IN wishing that Hon. Jno. \. Gar

sent the district. The Times says:

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
THE HERALD is authorized to announce
John n. Garner,

As a candidate for reelection to Congress
from the Fifteenth Congressional District
subject to the action of the Democratic
party.
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1906-06-14

uents had been such that this pa
per felt that he was entitled to be
returned and without opposition
from his own party. The balance
of the Fifteenth Congressional dis
trict appeared 10 believe as the
Times did and no one in the ranks
of democracy contested his IN
doubted right to be returned.
The Times IS pleased beyond
measure to take exactly the same
position it took two years ago. If
tireless energy, sleepless vigilance,
intelligent effort in behalf of his
entire district is ever to be reward
ed, Judge Garner claim IS equal if
not superior to that of any states
man who ever represented the Rio
Rio Grande district.
The Uvalde statesman, at the
very beginning of his career in
Congress, appears TO have adopted
the rule that no business of any
constituent, however small that
business or however obscure that
constituent, was too small or the
constituent too humble for his
prompt and energetic attention.
The universal verdict Of the Fiji
teenth is, that Garner invariably
has his eye on the gun; that moth
ing ever escapes him, and when
anything good is being handed
around his district IS pretty sure
to get its share.
Judge Garner fills the bill for
Congressman from the Fifteenth.
He is exactly the kind of man the
district had long needed. When he
went to Washington he INDUCED in
no dreams nor excursions of fancy.
He went at realities and with vim
and enthusiasm that achieved re-
suits.
Laredo has cause to remember
how long she had labored and
waited for a Federal Building.
Former congressman had had the
matter in hand time and again.
Delegations had visited the Ma
tional Capital to urge the appro-
priation. But somehow the matter
hung FIRE. Nothing, practically,
was accomplished until the rust
ling, hustling Garner took hold of
the matter when, presto the ap-
preparation was allowed and that
magnificent structure is now rapid
ly going up. It will be a monu-
ment to the hustling qualities of
the Congressman from the Fiji
teenth district.
Other sections of the district have
been equally benefited. When any
portion of the Fifteenth wants
anything all it has to do is to pull
the string and Garner does the rest.
If he don succeed, and really right
now we can't recall q single failure,
so strenuously does he work that
his constituents are always more
than satisfied and convinced that
it is not within the power of mortal
man to accomplish it.
The Fifteenth knows a good
thing when it sees it and this dis
trict is not likely to make change
in its representative at any time in
the near or even remote future.
Garner deserves to be returned.
He deserves it by the divine right
of superiority and hustling ability.
He deserves it because he gets
there, because he IS invariably the
first man on the ground, because
he is the embodiment of energy,
persistence and that superb quality
that never lays down.
The Times takes pleasure in re-
iteratiug its statement of two years
ago, that Garner is his own logical
successor. Here's to the Uvalde
statesman. May he live many,
many years to represent the Fif-
tenth district in the Congress of
Il.

Odd Fad of Collector,

M. Gustave Schlumburger, a Paris
ian collector, has one of the strangest
hobbies of the world and interest in
the work is doubled by the variety of
the objects he seeks. His hobby,
which he has pursued for over thirty
years has been the bringing together
of the seals formerly attached to the
correspondence of the princes and
prelates settled in Syria in conse-
quence of the crusades. In all he has
secured fifty specimens, which he in
tends to bequeath to the French ma
don.
Some of the seals are of great in
terest as, for example, that of King
Amaury II. of Jerusalem, showing on
its reverse the three chief buildings
of the city; that of Balian dIberlin,
seigneur of Naplouse, who defended
Jerusalem against Saladin in 1887;
and that of a seigneur of the strong
hold of Maracleus, on the seacoast of
Syria, which shows the formidable
keep of the fortress.

With sudden cry, his hand press

lips of what seemed the almost dying
man.
Mr.. Ferrers, apparently revived by
the draught he had swallowed, partial

Lock the door!" he said to his
old friends son. He obeyed, and the
two were left alone face to face.
They confronted each other in silence,

looking down upon him,

asked the former, in feeble broken
voice.

Mr. Ferrers rose from his seat as
the infamous title was hurled at him.

and evident weakness, there was a
natural dignity about him now as he
faced the furious and menacing coun-
tenance opposed to him.

Mechanical Aids to Rapid READING

At the meeting of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, held recently, M.
Andre Broca and M. Sulzer commu-
nicated paper on the subject of rapid
reading. They showed that the diff
ferent letters of the alphabet are not
all apprehended with the same quick
ness. For instance, the time taken
to recognize an Esis nearly one-third
longer than thai taken to recognize a
7. They consider that the alphabet
is badly designed from a physiological
point of view 1t should be composed
of very simply designed letters as T
or L. Rapidly of reading would thus
be increased and brain fag' would be
notably diminished. 1t would also be
better to have the letters printed in
white on black ground than the sys-
tenn which obtains at present. The
time taken to recognize letter print
ed in black on white ground was
nearly ten times longer than white on
black ground.

Ferrers, with sudden passion. Have
| not declared to you that | am not
your fathers murderer? Am | not

pearances may be against me?

young man put his hand to his head,
bewildered.
DO you deny that you are the man
who wrote the letter which summon
ed my father to Dover?-or that you
are the other passenger who travelled
~ the 4:30 train and occupied a com
partment in the fourth carriage from
the engine?'

and you deny that the bullet that
was discovered in the padding of the
same compartment, which the fire
only partially consumed was dis
charged from the one empty chamber
OF the revolver which lies yonder?"
81 do not deny it, was the same
monotonous answer.
Then tell me" cried the young
man, in frenzy, tell me- whose
was the hand that fired that shot?"
Mr. Ferrers raised his head and
answered clearly, and without hesita-
ton, "Mine!"
The effect of the answer was cleo
trical.
What! I'm tone that thrilled
through the hearer-"you admit all
this, and yet, in the same breath

was the calm reply of the elder man,
as his eye encountered that of his
inquisitor without flinehing, and he
seemed to have cast aside for the
moment all agitation and alarm.

next question and failed. His lips
