INCIDENT OF JOSEPH LEE

Few perhaps of the present resi-

was the camping ground of General
Taylor's army at the beginning of the
war with Mexico in 1876. and after
wards conducted a coffee house in
Matamoros, Mexico. across the Rio
Grande from Brownsville. Jefferson
tells of the incident in his Memoirs. :"
Jefferson was connected with a
troop of barn stormers. who were
playing the tanks" of louisiana
when the Mexican war began. When
the American army came to Browns
vile on the eve of the invasion OF
Mexico, the troop with which JEFF
ferson was playing followed Taylors
army as far as Brownsville. and for
some time gave performances here.
After the American army had gone in
to the interior of Mexico the troop
left Brownsville. but Jefferson and
one other actor. who concluded that

Iy enough, determined to remain and
try their fortune in Matamoros- At
the time Matamoros was full OF the
usual rabble. gamblers. and villains
that usually follow a great army. JEFF

Finally, however. the 'wanderlust"
again seized Jefferson. and he re-
turned to ''the states to resume his
stage career, in which he afterwards
won fame and fortune.

LONG RANGE POLITICAL
PROGNOSTCdT0R.

The Galveston News should require
more accuracy of its political forecas-
tiers than that displayed in the COM
munication OF Tom Finty, jr., in the
News of the 5th. in which he assumes
to tell News readers a lot of things
about political conditions in some
parts of Texas. While The Herald
does not know anything about the POI
litical situation in other parts of the
state, it does know that Mr.. Finty has
altogether misled readers OF the News
in regard to the Cameron county stu
alton, and that. IL his information as
to other sections is not any more ac-
curate than what he has stated re-
garding this county, the News has
served its readers a lot OF garbied
stuff that is not worth ordinary space
rates. With an Introductory statement
that there is a first class row for To-
cal Offices" in Cameron county, Mr..
Finty, jr.. cheerfully proceeds 10 show

cal Offices already beaten, and by

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
