A novel plan is being experimental
with in Australia with view to rid
ding it of the rabbit plague. A news
paper is placed at the mouth of the

be so frightened by the rustling of
the paper that they will not approach

The available coal yet stored in the
earth in Germany is estimated by
Professor Ferdinand Fischer, of Cot
tingen, at 160, 100000 tons; in
England only 100000, 1000 tons;
in Belgium, Austria-Hungary and
France about ,000,000,000 tons
each. The store of Russia is but i'm
perfectly known. North America can
produce 6S4, 1000 tons, and
Baron Won Richthofen has stated that
China has supply nearly as great.
Japan, Borneo and New South Wales
have considerable coal; Africa, an un-
known quantity. Germany's coal
should last another thousand years,
but England's supply will begin to
show exhaustion within fifty years.
In the United Statcs the production
has increased from about 100000
tons in 1891 to nearly 100000 in
1901.

crammed to the uttermost limits of

AQUIET WEDDING.

The ceremony which united Otis
Young and Miss Sarah Lightbourn in
the holy bonds of matrimony took
place in the parlor of the Presbyte-
rian manse in this city Wednesday,
August 5. at four p. m. Rev. W. C. C.
Foster, pastor of the Presbyterian
church officiating.
The bride was attired in a becom-
ing white costume. The attendants
were Nathan Lightbourn of Point
Isabel, brother of the bride, and Miss
Howell, also of Point Isabel.
Only a few friends witnessed the
ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young left on the
evening train for Point Isabel and
will spend a week there before re-
turning to Brownsville, where they
Will reside.
The bride is the daughter of one of
the oldest and best known families of
Point Isabel and the groom is the
well known pharmacist at the Pute-
gnat drug store in Brownsville, hav-
ing come here about a year and a
half ago from Kansas City. He stands
high here, and both have many
friends who wish them a long and
happy welded life.

Already the ribbon counters are
besieged for blue and white ribbon
by the rooters, who will cheer the
home team Saturday and Sunday.
When that motor car is put in
operation between Brownsville and
Point Isabel, there will be no more
complaints about trains being de-
layed.
The Baseball Park management
will compliment the ladies of Browns
vile by rendering them free admis-
sion to the game between the local
team and the Cuero aggregation on
Sunday morning. Special reservation
will be made in the grand stand for
the accommodation of the ladies and
their escorts at this game.
The report. that the railroad COM
pany had agreed to establish the sta
ton asked for by the people at Mis-
sion seems to have been premature,
as the company has not made any
such agreement. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that it may be convenient
for the company to do so, as the
Mission people are having hard
time getting their freight.
The Cuero team will arrive here to-
morrow night for the three games
with the Brownsville team, the first
of which will be played Saturday af-
ternoon and the other two on Sun
day morning and afternoon at the
usual hours. The Cuero team has
the reputation of being the strongest
team south of San Antonio and west
of Houston, and the locals will have
to work hard, if they exepct to gain
the victory.
The water-cartman of Brownsville
makes about the largest profit on his
business of any person in the city.
He pays just three cents, Mexican, to
the city for water, which he sells to
consumers at from twenty to twenty
five cents, Mexican, a barrel. This
is rather hard nthe poor Mexicans,
who thought that when the city was
provided with water-works, they
would get water at a reasonable price
The water-carts are making cleanli-
ness a costly item for their custom
ers.
1t is understood that the en-
tire railroad commission will
come down Saturday on a general
inspection tour of the Brownsville
road. The Rio Grande road will prob
ably also come in for its share of
attention, since the local patrons
have made complaints about it. The
fact that the company has made an
appropriation for the purchase of a
large motor car to run between the
Point and Brownsville, however, may
justify the company in not buying
new engines or other expensive
equipment for this road.
