while engaged IN special service in Pal

service TO this city and country.
Many Italians gathered early yester-
day in la Fayette street, near the home

ing in state. Admirers and eompatriots
of Petrosino found time to pause and
with bowed head utter silent prayer
before passing on to work.
Twenty-Five policemen were station
ed in front of the Petrosino home and
so detectives were on duty in the yards
and on roofs nearby. Four hundred and
fifty policemen, including many dressed
in plain clothes, were assigned to guard
the funeral procession to the old St.

to Calvary cemetery on Long Island.
Ten thousand persons were congre-
gated in the streets leading from the
PetTosino home when the body was re-
moved to the cathedral for the funeral
services The funeral procession was
headed by the police band. A line Of po-
lieemen two deep stood for blocks with
batons presented as the hearse passed
and heads were barred by the immense
throng which silently watched the
march.
While the services were in progress

baseball league to be called the
Southwest Texas Baseball League,

eluding those from Corpus Christi,
Beeyille, Victoria, Yoakum, Lock

The omission from the list of the
Brownsville team, which has done
such excellent work throughout the
season and won distinction in almost
every contest, seems strange, to say
the least of it, The Herald would
better think again and see if it has
not. by some oversight, made an err

hardly likely that the promoters of
the proposed league will make the
same mistake. A Southwest Texas

attention should be given the subject, as
800 people are killed. twice as many in

Enough galvanized iron telegraph wire
to serve for the rod, a pound Of galvan-
lied iron staples to hold the wire in place,
a few connecting tees and a pound of
aluminium paint. -,
while iron is not so good "a conductor
