Mean of Sister.

A young fellow had called upon a
girl with whose charms he was some
what smitten and was waiting in the
parlor when her small brother came
in, weeping bitterly. From either a
sense of polite precaution or natu-
raj kindness of heart the young man
had been kind to the little fellow on
several occasions and now took him
on his lap and asked the cause of the
trouble.
"Sis-sister is mean to me-" the lit
tie fellow sobbed.
ooh, 1 guess she didn't intend to
be. Maybe you worried her when
she was busy" the youth said con-
solingly. ''What was she doing?"
"She was playin' an wouldn't let
me play, too" Bobby said.
playing what-the piano? I
guess she thought you didn't know
how"
"Oh, yes, 1 know how better'n she
Does" Bobby asserted. "She was
playin' Indian an wasn't putin

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inharned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inaam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A well known carpenter from
Brownsville. named Nicolas Hino-
iosa, died suddenly yesterday
morning about FIVE O'Clock, at
Mercedes, where he was employed
by Contractor NJ. Hanson. Death
is supposed to have resulted from
heart trouble as he was apparently
quite as we'll as usual the night be-
fore. Other occupants of the same
place heard the man groan about
the time noted and, on going TO
his bed, found that he was dead.
The deceased was a respectable
Mexican resident of Brownsville,
where he leaves a wife and two
children. He was here Sunday
last to see them. having returned
to his work at Mercedes Monday.
The body was brought to Browns
vile last night for interment, and
the funeral took place this morn
ing at half past ten o clock.

The Janiza.ies.

The ianizaries are unique in the
history of the world. Nothing ike
them has ever been known in the
constitution of any state. We think
Of them somehow in association
with the mamelukes of Egypt, but,
though there were some points in
common between them, they differ
ed widely in their character and
aim. The mamelukes, though orig
inally a race of slaves, founded a
sovereign dynasty in Egypt, but the
janizaries, even at the height of
their power, never ceased to be SOL
diers, and they maintained through
out all their history the proofs and
symbols of their lowly origin. They
made and unmade soyereigns, but
they never aspired to the high posi-
tions of state and were content to
fill their original posts. Not one
of their number ever occupied the
throne of Turkey, and the whole
corps acted ostensibly only as its
guardians.-St. James Gazette.

OF INTEREST TO VETER
Ans.

A copy of the late act granting
increased pensions to veteran
United States soldiers of both the
Mexican and the Civil War has
been received by THE HERALD
from Congressman Garner, with
she suggestion that attention be
called to its provisions so that ben
efciaries under the new law may
take immediate steps to secure the
increased pay allowed them. The
act is copied in today's HERALD
and all of the old soldiers should
read it and adopt Mr.. Gamers
suggestion. If there is anything
coming to the old soldiers, THE
HERALD wants to see them get it
without loss of time.

BROWNSVILLE, THE G44R-
DEN CITY.

Old Fort Brown no longer bris
cling with arms, never again men
ace to the town of Brownsville
Sut transformed into a. beautiful,
smiling garden, where the federal
government will still preside, it is
true, but in a guise that will make
Uncle Sam Q the most delightful
neighbor ever a town possessed
This is the bright prospect which
the news wired by our good friend
Congressman Garner holds out for
the near future. Work is to be-
gin at once on Uncle Sam S garden,
and in the course of a few months
Brownsville will without doubt
have a clear title to be called The
Garden City of Texas. Never again
will surly, undisciplined and dan
zerous hends camp within the
walls of the old post, to sally forth
at dead of night and attempt to
murder the helpless, sleeping citi-
zens of Brownsville. Where a
short time ago brooded hostile
Zoe. cherishing a malignant hatred
against the town, and plotting the
murder of our people, will soon be
growing rare and beautiful plants.
Orange groves will fill the air with
their sweet perfume, while stately
palm groves will add their beauty,
vines will climb in graceful profu-
sion, and beautiful flowers will
lend their glorious colors and fra
GRANGE, all helping to obliterate
the evil memories that now cling
10 the old post. Brownsville will
forgive and even forget the wrong
that came to her people from the
historic old fort, in the enjoyment
of the beauty which will soon be
created there under the skillful
touch of Uncle Sans scientific
gardeners.

pills relating TO the opening or extension

opening of Mills avenue northeast from
Rhode Island avenue to Twenty-fourth
street. Another authorizes the extern
sion of Albemarle street, northwest. A
third authorizes the extension of Mon
roe street northeast.
a large number of Interested citizens
attended the hearing. Opposition to the
opening of Mills avenue proceeded chief
~ from Miss NJ. G. King. and Miss
Mary b. Brown. J. w. Butterfield was
also opposed to the opening. They are
the owners of property on the west side
of that part of the street which will
be widened. Misses King and Brown

did not speak.
On the Monroe street extension Father
ID. Il. Duffy. of St. Mary's Seminary,
was the only speaker. He asked for an
amendment of the bill that would ex-
einpI the seminary from assessment on

of the District may use such portion OF
reservation Il as may be necessary 10
accomplish this purpose. The commit
tee recommends this route in preference
to the one IN the Senate act as being
more direct, and. therefore. more con-
Venient to the public: as involving no
greater joint occupation OF trackage
than me Senate route and a much less
installation of new track; besides which
the committee has received a large num-
Der OF protests from the residents Of the
seven blocks OF X street, largely resi-
Dental In character. along which the
Senate act proposes a franchise.
Relative to the general problem OF
the approach to the new Union Station
from the northwest section, the COM
mittee believes that the plan proposed
in the substitute bill Is the best that
can be devised. having consideration of
all circumstances. II eliminates several
bad surves embodied in the routes de-
scribed In the Senate act and places the
points Of connection between the two
systems all on Massachusetts avenue,
which is a wide avenue. rather than at
points on narrower streets. where con-
gestiOn OF traffic Is liable to give much
greater difficulty.
Avoiding Congestion.
Section Of the substitute bill also
provides for the following extensions Of
the Capital Traction line. namely. from
Pennsylvania avenue and Eighth street
southeast to Florida avenue and Seventh
street northwest. by way Of Eighth
street east and Florida avenue. and also
from said extension at Eighth and f
streets northeast westwardly along +
street to the Union station. The com
mittee believes this TO be necessary to
give access to the new station although
1t involves a considerable extension Of
tracks. The residents Of that section Of
the District north OF d street have no
access to the station excepting by the
II street line, which requires them to
pass west of the station, thence down
North Capitol street and back east along
Massachusetts avenue 10 the station. or
to alight at Second street and walk
south nearly three blocks.
The extension is petitiOned for by all
residents OF that section OF the city
lying north OF Pennsylvania avenue and
recommended by the Commissioners OF
tai Traction Company Is willing to con-
struct it. The committee nas cited
here only the reasons for granting this
extension in so far as they relate to
access to the Union Station. There
are many other reasons which have
been brought TO the committees at
tenupn, but which are not here enum-
Grated for that reason. In view OF
these facts the committee believes that
this extension should be authorized by
the present Congress. as IL Will take
eighteen months to construct the line,
and the wisdom Of the action will be
evident before he expiration OF that
period.

derful cures that have been made right
here In Washington within the last ten
days are having telling effect Drug
gists are busy handing out these Hr,Ie
