BROWNSVILLE DRY AND SAFE.
Thanks to Energetic Efforts of Al
derman Tucker LeveeS Hold.

To a Herald representative this
morning Alderman Tucker of the
street and bridge commission, who
has had complete charge of the work
on the levees TO keep the water out
of the city. stated that the levees
are now in excellent condition and
could easily protect tho city even
from an additional rise of four in
ches Since the first day of the
rise, a force of men have been con-
stantly at work repairing and build
ing additional levees to protect the
city, and also guarding the embank-
ment to prevent its being injured
either maliciously or carelessly
This work has been under the per-
sonal supervision of Alderman Tuck
er. who has devoted almost his en-
tire time to it, being ably assisted
by d. Deenman, Sanitary Inspector
Floyd Layton and Fred Balh
Yesterday about thirty men work
ed throughout the entire day
Strengthening the one weak place in
the levee, a portion about one hun

freight depot, and succeeded in get
ting it in good shape to withstand
the water
1t is safe to say now that. I'M
less there should be a very great
additional rise, there is very little,
if any, danger that any water at all
will reach any portion of the city.
Not that there was ever any dan
ger of the main part of the town
being invaded by the water. No
flood has ever inundated the town,
and the low ground which is pro-
tected by the embankment referred
to is really the bed of an old re-
SAGA, which has always been subject
to overflow when the river was high
Mayor COmbe has been tireless in
attending to this matter and it is
due to him and the energetic eff
forts of Alderman Tucker that there
has not been repetition of the July
experience, when the fiat between
the city and West Brownsville was
covered with water from the flood,
on account of the levee being cut.

Of triumphs which fulfilled it.
Another instance Of quickly fulfilled
prophecy was furnished by Pope Plus

A Lexington special says the trou-
bic between Clarence Lebus and the
Burley Society, az far as there was
trouble. arose over the matter Of
salary. Lebus led the fight of the
society against the American Tobac.
co Company and brought it to sue
cessful termination. When the So
ciety at its January meeting fixed
the Presidents salary at $1,000 a
year Mr.. Lebus took the floor and
denounced the compensation as Mig
gardly. He said that the American
Tobacco Company paid its chief
agent in Kentucky $4,000 year
for expressing the farmer and that
the Burley Society ought to pay as
much to the head Of it for protect
ing the farmers. He said the salary
fixed was wholly inadequate to the
dignity and responsibility of the po-
sition and wound up with an en-
phatic resignation.

having come to report the advance of

The archduke. who spoke Romany

Our outposts have not reported any

THAT, your highness, is because the
enemy is still some way Off"

been but little explored though the
manners and customs OF the inhab.

one another in the singularity OF

old hats they can acquire during theii

One OF the most brilliant operators
Of Wall street 10 the early sixties Of
the last century was Walter Wellman
Morse, though be was by comparison
with some Of the gray haired market
veterans only a mere boy. being just
thirty years Of age. The public con-
fdence he enjoyed made It possible for
him to realize profits IN any stock.
Such was the influence his indorse-
ment would carry that after he had
accumulated stock at his prices he
could tell bis daily callers that the
stock was due to go up. and immedi-
ately there would be enough profes-
sional and public buying Of the stock
to send it up. thus enabling Morse to
unload at profit
An example Of Morse's popularity
was illustrated In a scene accompany
ing the opening Of subscriptions for
stock in a coal mining company or
ganized by him. The day the subscrip-
ton book was opened people fiocked to
the Office and fought with each other
in their efforts to enter and get their
names recorded. One man who had
subscribed for a large amount Of this
stock, after getting away from the
