THE PASSING OFZHE OLD.

We are glad to have them-these
are lights and water works but
there is much that will pass away
with their advent which even the
most up-to-date and enterprising
of us will miss, perhaps. after the
novelty of the new acquisitions
wears off. The picturesqueness
that ever marks ancient institutions
will pass away with the things that
modern inventions always Danish.
To the pioneers of the the city
the old Brownsville will seem to
have passed away forever with the
passing of the water carrier and
his barrel cart and burro, and the
eternal extinction of the corner oil
lamps. While they are waiting for
the lamp lighter to come along with
his ladder and torch, the carbons
will sputter and twilight will be
turned into day again, and the
corner lamp-post will remain dark
and desolate. They will perhaps,
for many day after the pipes are
ready, await the familiar visit of
the bibeyu with his water barrel,
even with the ever ready, never
falling faucet within reach of their
hand.
But the light of the oil lamp is
as darkness in the bright glare of
the arc light; and the resources OF
the barrel cart as nothing in COM
parisou with the flood which flows
through the water mains.
And by just that degree that the
arc light surpasses the kerosene
corner lamp, and the water main
the barrel wagon, will the new
Brownsville surpass the old. 1t
has been a good place in which to
live in the past; but it will be bet
ter in the future, and every new
public utility will increase its
desireability in every respect. Some
may sigh for the passing of the old
Brownsville, but all must welcome
the new town that is coming in its
place.

We have the water; we have the

which flower and shrub and grass

What a delight it is to walk

E5ushy green hedges; tall shrubs.
ornamental plants and velvet
lawnsl This it is that makes the
charm which draws so many thou

20 the minor towns of England,
sxzaere ornamental gardening is re-
s<ognized as an art. Thousands of
<oEus South and North, East and

attraction and charm as residential
cities, to carefully arranged lawns;
beautiful green parks and the sky
effects of their trees.
Z Brownsville's citizens who have

much that city is indebted for its

lawns and exquisite parks and

of these instances in there such
rich soil aud favorable climate for
gardening as at Brownsville.
BY utilizing the handsome palms
which grow wild in this region,
aud supplementing them with
s8thers which may be imported at
small cost, and also cuitivating the
banana, and other broad leaved
giants of a semi-tropic nature, a
distinctive and peculiarly rich
character may be given the adorn-

It quite unique in its beauty.
It should be a labor of love for
every citizen of Brownsville to see
- It that the ground around his
home is made as beautiful as pos

shrubs. grass and flowers.
If everyone will take the little
required trouble to utilize the wa

Washington, D. c., May s.
One of the greatest medical dis
coveries of modern times is claimed
to have been made by a United
States naval surgeon, who asserts
that he has found a cure for
tuberculosis. Naval surgeons and
the medical profession in general
are watching with intense interest
the development of the treatment
which seems to hold out hope for
the victims of the dread white
plague.
The cure was accidentally dis
covered by a naval surgeon. Barton
Isle Wright, while administering
mercury for another aliment. There
are now IS cases under treatment
at the naval hospital at New Fort
Lyon, Las Animas, Colorado, and
according to an account of the dis
covery just published by DR..
Wright in the Naval Medical Bull
letin. extraordinary improvement
is being shown in all of them.
The mercury is administered by
hypodermic injection which is said
to be followed almost Immediately
by marked improvement in the
patients condition.
"Of the IS cases" says DR..
Wright, 80 are showing improve
ment, as evidenced by the reduced
pulse rate and a gain in weight,
The remaining FIVE are holdi. G
their own.
I'VE have conclusively demons
trated that it will cure extremely
advanced tuberculosis of the larvnx
and pharynx in remar kably short
period of time.
I'VE have shown that it produ
ces marked improvement in advan-
ced pulmonary LESSONS. and that it
also has a decided beneficial action
on tubercular glands.

TWO RICH GOLD
STRIKES IN ALASKA.

STRIKES IN ALASKA.
A recent dispatch from Seattle
says:
Lack of food is driving hundreds
OF miners from what Is declared TO
be one OF the richest prospects in
Alaska, according to the statement
OF w. II. Merritt, who has Just come
out OF the Susitna country. The To-
cation is 300 miles from Valdez and
$50 miles from Fairbanks. The
presence OF gold was discovered last
fall.
Merritt says that men are geeting
out from $40 to $50 pan and there
is gold In nnlimlted quantities. He
is here for the purpose of buying
machinery and food. Laborers are
paid s12 to SIS a day. but there is
no use of any one going in without
a supply Of food suficient to last sew
eral months, for when Merritt left
there was not foed enough at Valdez
creek 20 last FIVE men all summer.
Merritt says that by next fall there
will be from 10000 TO $1,000 men
in the country. The pay streak runs
for seven miles
Another dispatch says:
A cable from Nome says that the
richest pay ever struck in Alaska so
far as known, has just been found
on Lakeview claim, on the tundra
near Port Davis. IL is richer than
the famous Bessie bench. Gold taken
from the ground on Lakeview aver
ages $40 TO the pan. with exceptional
pans that yield enormous pay. Lake
view is operated by Niebhur a Com
pany The pay streak Is fifty fee,
wide.
The strike has caused lively inter-
est TO be taken I'm the development;

Indications are that the prophecy
made by geologists that pay would
be found many miles east OF Nome,
and az a considerable distance from
the ocean beach. will be fulflled.
The strike Is located a mile and
half east OF Nome and a mile from
the beach. No pay streak had pre-
vlously been discovered there. Two
previous ancient beach lines have
been found near Nome and worked
out. II the present striks IL the third
beach, Ps seems certain. IL will prob
ably produce siO.OOO.OOO to $780,
0OO. 900 In gold.
In thesbest places on the Bessie
claim more than $1,000 a pan was
realized.
