EXCURSION TRAINS
viii be Operated On Saturday Nights
Between This City and Point Isabel
for Week.Enders.

While the officials of the St.
Louis Brownsville and Mexico rail.
road were at Mercedes yesterday
F. E. Scobey. S. P. Silver and
several other prominent residents
of that place brought up the matter
of operating Saturday night train
between Brownsville and Point
Isabel, SO as to give the people
living along the branch an op-
portunity to spend the week end
on the bay and gulf. 1t was sug-
gested that the train leave this
city a short time after the arrival
of the evening branch train, and
return in time to connect with the
morning train out of here for
points on the branch.
General manager Jeff N. Miller
said that the company would GER
tainly comply with the request of
the Mercedes people, but did not
state when the service would be
inaugurated. However it is ex-
pected that it will commence
within the near future. Large
crowds of people from the branch,
as we'll as from this city. are sure
to take the opportunity to visit the
coast every Saturday, to enjoy the
early morning fishing and bathing,
and the cool gulf breezes.
1t was the usual custom of the
former management of the Rio
Grande road to change the sched-
ule every summer, running the
train from here to the Point in the
evening and returning in the
morning. thus enabling the bus
mess men here to spend the nights
with their families, who summered
on the coast.

of the black desperadoes, should
there be any more trouble, while
the men remained to protect their
property.
Even the thinking people OF
Connecticut, with all the love for
the negro which may exist there,
must certainly wonder at the utter
ances of their senator and ask
the question, Why?'
The gentleman from OHIO has a
purpose in his defense of the negro
ruffians, though even he has not
gone so far as the gentleman from
Connecticut. What is the object OF
Mr.. Bulkely's asinine assertions?
Perhaps time will tell, but there
are few people who could do so
just now, with any certainty of
correct guess.

THE latest arrival in the list OF
publications which claim Browns
vile as their home, is the Tarpon
Beach Monthly, published by
George Sims of the Padre Island
Development Company. The first
issue for the month of May is
breezy as a paper devoted to a
seaside resort should be, and is
filled with interesting matter. 1t
reflects credit upon the publisher
and his editors.

During the dance an unexpect-

were enchanted with the song.

CONNECTICUT SPEAKS.

When a man in the United States
senate, deliberately, and with a
purpose arises in that august as
sembly, and in the face of all the
evidence which the government has
spent thousands of dollars to ac-
cumulate, states with all the as
surance of an oracle and aprophet,
that it was not the negro soldiers,
of the 25th Infantry, but band OF
'lawless Mexicans from outside
the town aided by the lawless ele-
ment of the city ITSELF" that made
the raid on Brownsville on the
night of Aug. Is, 1906, the ques-
ton should be asked: why does
he say it, What is his object?"
Foraker has a purpose which is
palpable to every one in the Unit
ed States, except the ignorant
negro voters of the country but
even he has not come forth with
such preposterous statement as
that made by Senator Bulkely of
Connecticut in the Senate the other
Nday.
Far what nurDose would the
'lawless Mexican" and the law
less element of the town. have
done the shooting and killing3
There was no footing nor burglariz-
ing done. No 'lawless element"
had expressed any desire for re-
veuge upon the residents of that
part of the city which suffered
most. And where would they have
obtained the United States army
uniforms, army rifles. and negro
faces9 And where is the lawless ele
Inent here?
But the evidence before the CON-
rnittee on military affairs brought |
out. beyond the vestige of a doubt,
that the negro soldiers made the
raid and did the killing; the only
question was, who were the in
1,v;1.,o1e s,,voiuad2
Despite all that has been discov-
cred by an impartial. painstaking,
and thorough governmental in
quiry, there arises a Scion from
Connecticut who has never seen
Brownsville. and who has evident
ly been content to allow his pre-
prejudices in favor of the negro to
stand instead of careful reading
of the evidence of the case, as a
preparation for an address on the
subject of the Brownsville Raid"
who declares you did it your
selves" I.awless Mexicans" and
the lawless element of the town"
could have gone to Point Isabel
and other outlying districts for
several days, after that bloody mid
night of terror, and completed their
work of revenge and murder. But
around the barracks of the negro
soldiers was stretched Gordon of
determined citizens of this city,
which prevented any further out
break on the part of the real per-
petrators of the crime, the negroes
who wore the uniform of the Unit
ed States army. They couldn't get
out to do any more shooting, nor
any more killing and manning. +
Residents within several blocks
in the neighborhood of the negroes

children to Point Isabel and Mata-
uloros. to get them out of the reach

JUNEAU APPLlUDS SRAGHAY

There is evidence at hand to prove him tn erro, who said thsre was uoth- lug new under the sun.

Both the Record aud Trau,crrps refer at length, both locally aud ediroriaIly, t1 the doings here un- der way and proposed.

Oh, some there are with beauty bright And they are lust of eyes, And some who blind us with the mind Our spirit dejdes. But genius Is the great white light Nor mind DOT beauty buys, And some will play a warton air To catch the vagrant soul; Some find it sweet with dancing feet To foot it towsrd the goal; But be who hears the whirllng spheres Can ne'er again be whole.

gratulsted on it, move. It stands, aud will likely ever stand, as the gateway to the great interior of Alaska. Pecu- llarly, 1t has an attraction for the tour lst, not only ou account of the scenery ln It's immediate vicinity, and the hts- soric rssollectious which cluster about 1t, but also as the starting point for one of the most beautiful and inspiring railroad trips that can be made. The tourist travel is one that is pound to in- crease, and for that reason, If for no other, the LyDu canal town should put is best foot forward. First impressions are strong, sud the visitor to Alaska who is met by nea, and compact little city win retain an agreeable impres. sion that be might not otherwise gain.
 But whether Skagway is 'spruciug up for the effect such a move may have on others, or for the towns own sake, matters little. The main point Is that the residents of that city have faith in the future of the town and intend to stay by 1t, which are strong enough to impel them to go down into their pock- cts and cheeriuly pay the cost of the improvements in contemplation. It is going to be DO matter or light expense, either.

THE PRESIDENTS CHRISTMAS
How the Big and Little RoOsovelts
 Celebrated Last Year.

How the Big and Little RooseveIts
 Celebrated Last Year.
 President and Mrs. Roosevelt had only the immediate members of their family to celebrate Christmas. Just before going to bed on Christmas eve the children hung their stockings in the presidents room, and bright and early the next morning they were up to claim their prizes. Everything that was ever designed for a Christmas stocking found a place in the line that hung from the mantel, and when the boys awakened there was merry scramble to see just what was inside.
 After breakfast the president Mrs. Roosevelt and the children went to the library to exchange presents too big for the stocking,
 Each member of the family had a special corner for his or her gifts, and there were any number of mysterious little parcels to be opened. This very pleasant little ceremony took the en' tire morning.
 After this the president walked to his church, Grace Reformed, and the rest of the family went to st. Johns Episcopal church.
 In the afternoon the president Mrs Roosevelt and the children went over to the home of Captain and Mrs. Will liam Sheffield CowIes, where they al | ways spend Christmas afternoon and i where there is always d tree for the ! Roosevelt and Cowles children They were joined there hy Representative
