not having the money, is now regis

Insane Alien DepOrted.-The Next
can, TiburciO Gonzales Cara. who
several weeks ago was lodged in Jail
here by Immigrant Inspector L. c.
Floyd of Harrington upon a charge of
having illegally entered this country,

by the local immigration authorities.
To Celebrate the FOurth.-A move
is on foot on the part of the Browns
vile Rifles to celebrate the Fourth
of July this year on a grand scaleA
So far the idea is being received very
favOrably. Many of the business men
have agreed to subscribe literally.
and also to close their place of bust
ness for the day. 1t is proposed to
have something like a picnic outing,
probably at Point Isabel number
of prize contests of an athletic ma
ture will probably be a feature of
the day. The plan is being received
with hearty approval and will be
pushed energetically.
The Brownsville Rifles will meet
Friday night, for the purpose of MAX.
ing various arrangements relative to
the attendance of the Rifles at the
state encampment at Camp Mabry in
July. A full attendance at this meet
ing is urged, as it is important for
the company to get into good shape
for the encampment. A circular let
ter issued by Adjutant-General New
ton states that no recruits enlisted
after June l will be permitted to at
tend the encampment. and the Rifles
are especially anxious to get in all
who wish to join the company before
that date. All who wish to enlist
should attend this meeting, and lose
no time in identifying themselves
with the local military organization.
Up to the Business Men.-Man-
ager CUmmins of the Brownsville
baseball team states that he will be
able to secure a picked team from
San Antonio for a series of games
here to be played Saturday and Sun
day, provided the business men will
agree to close their places of business
from four to six o'clock on Saturday
afternoon to witness the game Other
wise he does not believe it good pol
icy to bring the team here paying
their travelling expenses, hotel bills,
etc, as he fears the gate receipts will
not pay the expenses. 1t is asking
very little of the business men to
close their places of business for
couple Of hours to give their clerks
and themselves an opportunity to see
a good game of ball. As has been
said before there is no way for
town 10 obtain better advertising as
a hustling up-tO-date place, than by
having a first class baseball team In
other South Texas towns. the citizens
take the greatest pride in the local
team. boost it on all occasions and
subscribe literally to its support, and
the leading business houses close
whenever game is on for Saturday
afternoon. Brownsville undoubtedly
has one of the best teams in the state
and the business men here should be
proud of it and do all they can to
encourage the boys.
