SATURDAY. FEBRUARY s. 1908.
CANSEE FOR THEMSEL YES.

/. The so-called 'homeseekers'
from the frozen north who are il
the city today and who will arrive
in Brownsville for several days to
come have probably read all kinds
of literature on Brownsville and
the lower Rio Grrnde valley. They
have read of the marvellous crops
raised two or three times a year.
They have read of the great irriga-
ton projects. They have come to
Brownsville to see for themselves.
And they can see the wonderful
value of the land for themselves
by taking a short walk to South
Texas Garden. the government
experimental station.
In the north at present winter
has the land in its grasp. Snow
covers the ground and cold, icy
winds howl through the country
districts. There is no sign of a
crop in any section and the work
of the farmers and tillers of the
soil is confined to milking the cows
morning and night, hauling wood
or coal, and doing winter chores. -
In the Brownsville district things
are different. Garden truck is
being shipped in great
quantities. Planting is being done
on all sides. Visitors to the gov
ernment station in Fort Brown can
see this.
In the gardens in question seven
pound cabbages are ready for the
table. Giant caulihowers are ripe.
are fast reaching
maturity. Beets. carrots and rad
shes are far out of the ground.
Watermelon plants are growing ]
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1908-02-08

rapidly. Tomatoes. and in fact all
sorts of garden truck" is virtually
jumping toward maturity.
A visit to these gardens by visit
ors will give a better idea of the
fertility of the country and the
fitness of the climate than a ton of
literature or million words of
praise.
1t will pay the homeseekers to
take the short walk and see what
the government experts are doing.

ONE of the visiting homeseekers

settle. Don't go any farther, ,"

ther cigarette.

GRIEF LED TO SUICIDE.
John Lyons Mourned for Late City
Councilman Howser.

BALTIMORE. January AFTER asking
his sister-n-law to iron his shirt. John
Lyons, fifty-eight years old, father of
Patrolnan John H. Lyons. went down into
the cellar and nearly blew off the top of
his head with .44-caliber revolver short

He died just as the southern patrol
wagon arrived at the University Hos
pital.
Grief over the recent death of City
Councilman George w. Howser, with
whom as foreman he had worked for
twenty-t three years. is said to have been
the cause of Mr.. Lyons act.
1t was about 9 am when Mr.. Lyons
left his home $40 Burgundy alley, and
went to the home of his brother. Mr.
Henry Lyons, 1011 Russell street. There
he, ate very little of the familys New

to his brother, 81 was working with
George Howser. Now he is gone, and
am about gone"
His brother tried to cheer him up, and
for time he was apparently successful.
The position in which he was found
showed that Mr.. Lyons wanted darkness
and solitude. Way back in the cellar
where light seldom penetrated and seated
in small chair he placed the revolver in
his right ear and pulled the trigger.
AS soon as the report of the explosion
was heard Mrs. Lyons ran for Patrolman

FUNERAL OF MISS KEALEY.
Services to Be Held at St. Peters
Church Saturday Morning.

Arrangements have been made for the
funeral Of Miss Mary E. Kealey, the
school principal whose death was noted
in The Star yesterday. to take place Sat
urday morning from her late home. 623
East Capitol street. Services will be held
at st. Peters Church at 9 o'clock. Rev.
James NJ. O'Brien. pastor of the church,
will officiate at high mass, and the inter-
ment will be at Mount Olivet cemetery.
The death of Miss kealey, principal of
the Maury School, creates a vacancy in
that school division. Miss Kealey was
regarded as one Of the most progressive
teachers in the city, her knowledge Of
school affairs and Of the children having
been such as to At her for any position
in the gift of the board of education. She
was a woman with disposition which
fitted her for her profession, and gathered
about her a wide circle of warm friends.
Miss Keaiey graduated from the Nor
NAL School in this city a number Of years
ago. and was one Of the representative
teachers of the earlier period, always
seeking progressive methods and the bet
torment OF the schools. She was a
leader among those who had care of the
children. She was greatly disturbed, 1t
is stated, by some of the more recent
methods introduced. realizing that the
schools were not what they were formerly.
and believing that both teachers and
pupils were injuriously affected. Some OF
the most progressive business and pro-
fessional men of the city owe their early
schools SO conscientiously during the past
quarter century, many of whom have
sent messages of coincidence to relatives
of the deceased.

EDUCATION IN CHINA.
Interest Taken by American Col
leges in Certain Districts.

Extract From a Tientsn Newspaper.
In this time of the educational advance
in China 1t is striking as we'll as an in
teresting fact to learn of the remarkabl
interest shown in the new movements in
China by the American college world
American college men have had a great
part in the missionary enterprise in
China, and it is only necessary to recall
the names of Martin. Tenney Mateer
Allen. Sheffield Wisner, Anderson and
half a score of others to see that Ameri-
can college men have had and still have
large share in establishing and carry
ing on vigorous educational work in
China
But there is a distinct and more formal
interest in China showing itself in Ameri-
can college men in recent years. Several
leading institutions have undertaken def
mite work in. some particular field In
China. For example. Oberlin College I'M
dertook a special mission work in Chansi
some years ago. 1t is now revived in the
form of esta bliShing college in Taiku
with foreign staff of Oberlin graduates
Yale University has established a high
grade institution in Oh 'angsha Human.
with only Yale men on the foreign staff
The University of Pennsylvania has as
sumed responsibility for the medical COL
lege of the Canton Christian College and
has two highly qualified men on the field
Other colleges have taken the support OF
some one or more of their graduates
working in China or elsewhere. while
Princeton University has assumed the re-
sponsibility of furnishing the men and
some of their special equipment for the
Young Mems Christian Association in
Picking.

Is Almost Well

RICHMOND. Va, January John T.
Tyree. the young man who shot himself
two weeks ago and who has since been
a patient at Memorial Hospital, Is now
on the road to recovery. He is in full
possession of all his faculties, his eye
sight is not in the least impaired and he
talks intelligently of everything that is
going on. The case is puzzlng to scien-
tific men. The bullet passed through
the mans brain, a portion of the brain
ooZing from the wound in the head. The
wound has about healed, and the patient
is suffering little or no pain. The case has
attracted attention from medical men all
over the country.
The physicians who have the case in
hand have been besieged with requests
from the leading medical publications for
full description of the case. the meth
cd of treatment and all pertaining to the
case from a medical standpoint. The
patient will be removed from the hospital
to the home of his wife today. His con-
dition is such that 1t is now only a mat
ter of short time before he will be fully
recovered.
