1t is the opinion of those who
have observed the crowds arriving
each year since the opening of the
railroad to witness the May fest
ivities in Matamoros, the crowds
this year that came from distant
points were not so large as usual.
The larger number of the particip-
ants this year evidently came
largely from the ranches and i'm

did not bring as large number Of
passengers as usual.

The methods of the Teuton in win

which has been very popular in the
United States during the last few

Lincke, who at the present time has
four different operas running in France
and Germany. 'The Glowworm'' song
has been given 1000 times in the

theater. Berlin. The song has an odd
theme. The glowworm's light Is In
voked to lead the lovers on their dark
way, and the little insect is beseeched
to guide them with its twinkling
candles" A peculiar characteristic
Of the ballads needy Is boldly de-
yeloped obligato running through the.
