are recent arrivals at the Riverside
hotel.
In reporting the departures for
Point Isabel the other day, THE
HERALD noted that of George
Stowe, as returning to his post of
duty on Padre Island. It appears
that the new man" on TIE HER
AID overlooked the fact that Mr..
Stowe had resigned his position at
the lighthouse some time ago,
having accepted place with the
Frontier Lumber Company of
Brownsville instead. He says he
had gotten enough of the water to
do him. His trip to the Point
Sunday was merely to enjoy a
days hunting in that vicinity.
The light on Padre Island is now
in charge of Wm. Egly of Point
Isabel. who was formerly Mr..
Stoves assistant.
Two fac mules were killed on
Lon c, HIS place at Harlingen
recently by jack-hunters, who mis-
took the mules, eyes for those of
a deer, while indulging in that
unlawful and wholly reprehensible
practice of hunting deer with jack
lights. A colt belonging to 7. L.
| Jones of Harrington IS also reported
to have been sacrificed by the same
methods recently. Is it not about
time for the leading ranch owners
and stockmen, as we'll as ali other
l1aw-abiding citizens, to join in a
vigorous effort to check the de-
predations of the deer hunters in
this section?
A hunting party that left today
for the Arroyo district. carrying
heavy ammunition and camping
supplies galore, comprised Col
lector of Customs Vann, H. H.
} Weller Conductor Jacobs, c. w.
Cook and Joe Hollis. They will
doubtless do great execution among
the deer and other game in that
, vicinity.
The dramatic company that ar
rived Saturday night left today,
having given only one performance
while here, which took place Sun
, day night. The company stretched
! its tent in Washington Park, and
doubtless intended to play the full
engagement for three nights. but
the rain and mud proved too much
for them.
A suggestion has been made BY
, Rev. DR.. L. R. Burress, of the
. Baptist Church that unlor
Thanksgiving service be held BY
the local churches, for which h'
: says the Baptist Church will bt
: gladly opened. The idea is gooC
o one, and no doubt will be adopted
by the various churches.
Fine rains have fallen in Hidal
go county recently, so TIL
HERALD learns from Peter S
Champion, the we'll known ranch
man of that county, who was her

Temple, Texas, April 29.-James
Todd and Charles Jones, we'll known
young men of this county, were ar
dent suffers of Mrs. Mary Reed, a
pretty young widow. Mrs. Reed
chose Todd. Their marriage took
place two weeks ago, and four days
later Todd died suddenly, The coro-

that death was due to natural causes.
Jones called on the widow and
offered his sympathy. She discov-
cred that her love for Jones was
greater than her sorrow for Todd
and when the surviving rival pro-
posed an immediate marriage she
accepted. The couple were married

MISS WALSH AT NATIONAL
IN TWO POWERFUL PLAYS

A week Of dramatic repertoire, the
quality of which merits more than pass
ing notice, is scheduled for this week
at the New National. Miss Blanche
Walsh comes to this theater in two
plays, both of which have for their
motives the tragedy that follows domes-
tic strife.
The Straight Road which Miss
Walsh will use Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday nights and at the Wednes-
day matinee. tells the story of tears and
sorrow in the life struggles of Mol
O'Hara, a girl OF the East Side slums
Of New York New York gave splendid
patronage to THE Straight Road" at
the Astor Theater
THE Kreutzer Sonata" is by Jacob
Gordin, known to many playgoers as
'fthe Shakespeare of the Ghetto" The
play is a tragedy OF Russian domestic
life and has created a sensation wher-
ever presented. Miss Walsh viii be seen
as Hattie Friedlander, the elder daugh-
ter OF a Russian merchant, who has
moved from Russia to America. The
last three acts take place in this coun-
try. The story is grim and terrible, vet
the tension is relieved by the introduc-
ton Of quaint comedy at the hands of
several amusing types Of Russian char
acter Miss Walsh will be seen in THE
Kreutzer Sonata" during the last half
OF the week, including the SATURDAY
matinee.

'cBen Hur's" Appeal.

NOW that the spectacular glamOr has
become more subdued the public looks
more critically at the Interpretation
given Ben EIur." When the stipend
GUS biblical play was originally pro
duCed 1t was viewed IN the light OF a
kind OF stage mOnstTOsity which at
tracted the multitude The fact that its
appeal seems not TO have diminished
IS proof in itself that the play has
merits aside from its spectacular fea-
lures. While the play cannot be viewed
I'm the light of a polished or well
rounded dramatic effort. il assuredly has
qualities which commend it to the heart
ard mind, to a certain extent, as well
as to the eye.
There were many among last week s
audiences who had seen Ben Hur''
early in its career, but who sat through
the performance with equal interest
when Witnessing it for the second or
third time.
Aside from the elaborate mounting
given the play this season, the manage
ment is TO be commended for having
selected a weH-rounded and on the
whole capable cast.
In the opening act Thurston Hall
gave promise Of a thoroughly ar
His somewhat awkward stride and
lack Of ease seemed a splendid bit
of realism in the development of the
character OF the Jewish youth who had
grown up as the companion of mother
and sister estranged from the moving,
throbbing world. Great was the dis
appointment when 1t was seen in the
succeeding acts that this lack of grace
was not art, but an actual shortening
of the actor. Mr.. Han has a pleasing
stage presence and could appear as a
commanding figure if he would take ad-
vantage OF his natural gifts. He gives
promise Of better things. Miss Helen
Singers Iras was less satisfactory than
Mr. Halls Ben Hun. The role requires
a dangerous. mystical. subtle inter-
probation Of much hnesse and artful-
ness. Miss Singers impersOnatiOn was
characterized by its undisguised SEN
suality rather than its sensuOUsness.
such banaI charms as this Iras en-
pIoyed would scarcely have enamoured
a man of the princely attributes of a
descendant OF the House of Hur.
Miss Gertrude Dalton, on the other
hand, seemed to grasp the significance
and spirit of the role of Esther. There
was a clinging. womanly frailty about
her conception that gave the character q
genuine appeal Miss Margaret Dills'
mother of Hur was fOrceful and con-
vsncing. and the TIrzah of Miss Meta
Greene Was sympathetic. Wilmer l.
