of By-Gone Years.

The congregation of the Second
Presbyterian Church held services IN
the old First Presbyterian Church on
south Fairfax street yesterday morn
ing and last night. Large congrega-
tons attended each service. A new
carpet is being laid in the Second
church.
Rev. DR.. ]. L. Alluson occupied the
pulpit. At the morning services ne
called attention to the hallowed men,
cries connected with this historic
structure and from prominent men,
bers of the church all of whom have
become a part of that great cloud OF
witnesses who now encompass their
Successors. In the congregations were
some who remembered the ministers
of by-gone years who proclaimed the
gospel in the old church, as we'll as
their coadjutors, the elders. Condltl-
ons yesterday were of a nature to
cause all present to appreciate their
surroundings. The mercury in the
thermometer had forged into the nine

SLOW GAME SATURDAY
Cardinals Are No Match for Alexan-
drians and Lose by Score
of "a to ii.

In spite of urgent requests from the
stands to call the game on account
of hunger, Saturdays farce was drag
ced out to the regulation length. Inc
length was about the only regulation
thing about the performance. 1t was
not even poor base ball, for the Car
dinals were no match for the Alex
andria Club. Seaton, Hicks, of strike
out fame. and Williams, did the pitch
ing for the losers, and the last named
was the only one to escape annlhila-
ton. The winners accumulated %
hits. Miller had the range of the
fences down fine, for in six trips to
the plate he sent four fair hits over
the walls, three doubles and home
run. The other hits were gathered
in as follows: Scrivener, four; Ire
nary and Astryke, three; Downey,
Patterson, Snowden and Walker, two
each: and Pitts one. Burrell held the
Cardinals scoreless for four innings
and retired on account of injury.
Pitts assembled the mound and was
warmly welcomed. After putting
two down, seven runs followed on d
few choice misplays and six hits.
In the next inning three runs were
over and none out when Trenary
went into the box and stopped the
fun. The last out was roundly ap'
plauded by the few remaining spec
| tators.
One of the prize plays of the game
was made when Cardinal sacrlhecc
with none out and his team clever
runs in the rear.
A suggestion may be made to thu
local team which if followed, vii
please the fans. 1t is this: Hurry w
the batters. The men seem to thlnE
they should loaf on the way to the
plate. Such tactics are tiresome II
the extreme. Have the next hlttel
( ready and hustle him to the bat. These
delays have marked every game thu'
far played, and the fault can be cas-
| lily remedied.

TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF CAMERON COUNTY

I have been appointed chairman
of the Woodrow Wilson forces OF
Comeron county and have accepted.
j earnestly urge all democrats who
are DESTROYS of having Governor VIII
son of New Jersey as their candi-
date for the president of the United
States to meet in their precinct con-
v~entions which are fixed by the Ter
rell election law between 10 o'clock

4th, 1912, and there express your
preference for president and endeav-
or to send Wilson delegates to the
county convention at Brownsville OF
Tuesday the 18th day of May, which
convention If not already called no
doubt will be by the chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee.
Governor Wilson appeals to me as
the most advisable man to lead the
democracy in the coming presidential
election. / have so announced my
self heretofore. and have had no oc-
casion whatever 10 change my mind.
Governor Wilson is the best type Of
progressive democrat Of which this
country can boast, in my opinion.
He is broad-minded, scholarly, indie
pendent, dignified and possesses all
the qualifications for an ideal chief
executive. He would receive more
than any other man mentioned for
the White House. In saying this |
don't mean to speak disparagingly Of

aspirants. The Honorable Champ

HOW TO GET RID OF
THE DANGEROUS FLY
The Way They Swat Them in Other
Tbwhs-Boy Scouts Ordered Out.

Frank Parker in The World Work
for April gives some startling facts
concerning the danger Of the com
mon house fly and the war on il.
In view of the Inauguration Of the
fly killing campaign in Brownsville,
the following extracts from the ar
ticIe should be read by every reader
OF The Herald in this city:
The war on the house fly will
share with the presidential cam
paign the interest and activities of
the American people for the next
few months.
Somewhere in the neighborhood
OF a billion flies were killed in var
ious campaigns of 1911 and filthy
breeding places were cleaned up
that, if left alone. would have in
sured the propagation of additional
uncounted billions. The summer OF
1912 will not see the determination
OF the species. But III the plans Of
national, state and local civic or
CARNATIONS and health departments
are only half carried out, the out
look for the fly crop of 1919 will be
very much les encouraging to the
fly.
II has taken a Surprismgiy short
time for the public 70 grasp the idea
that the fly is the nos dangerous
wild animal OF the North American
continent. Ii has taken n still
shorter time for this conception Of
the fly as an important factor in the
national death rate TO translate IL
self into effective action. A dozen
years ago only a few scientists rec
ogniEed the fly as a disease carrier.
Its habits and life history Were al
most unknown. The question,
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-04-27

their breeding places Is the best
way to get rid of them.
All houses and stores where
food is exposed for sale should
be thoroughly protected by
screens. and any stray flies
should be caught upon sticky
fly paper, TRAPPED or poisoned.
The careless and dirty store
keeper must be controlled by
public opinion: otherwise he
will allow flies to infect the
food he sells and continue TO
distribute disease germs
amongst his customers"
