First Actress In London.

1t was a warm reception that was
given to the FIRST French players to
appear In London In 1929. Their visit
was an utter failure. 1t was notable
however, for the important innovation
which was the chief cause of their
unpopularity.
The luckjess troupe introduced &C.
tresses for the first time on the Eng
lish stage" thereby giving Just offence
to all vertuous and well-disposed per.
sons in this town." wrote Thomas
Brande. rejecting the spirit Of the
playgoer Of that time who was used
to seeing boys take the female char
acters.
These French women. or monsters
rather" were "hissed. booted and pip
pin pelted from the stage" The first
move against this prejudice was not
long delayed, however. Five years
later another French company came to
London with women players. under
royal patronage. and were received
with good appreciation" at the Cock,

DR.. H. H. Harrington, Agricultural Di

Mr.. Sanders made a trip through the

vile, having a pass over the line, and
enjoyed 1t very much. also ventured
across the Rio Grande into Mexico,
visiting Matamoros, which they tell
me was little dangerous, just at this
time, and do not care to repeat it
soon unless they should have anoth-
err battle there, which they will very
likely do, as the Federals want that
port.
The irrigated district, that is, the
Valley, from Harlengen on down to
the border, is a thriving section, hav-
ing good crops and producing them
twice a year. At San Benito they
have one of their main irrigation dit
ches from the Rio Grande, which is a
good sized river itself; from this,
laterals run out parallel to each 9TH
er, and irrigate the fertilt fields. At
this season of the year about all that
they attempt to grow is the general
crops such as corn, cotton, and sugar
cane; there is quite large section
around Harlingen devoted to cane, and
it looks fine. The truck crops have
been harvested long ago, and within
a month or so they will begin plant
ing the other crops. One is Impress
ed at the rapid progress made in the
valley; there being acres and acres
in cultivation, all under irrigation.

Judge. Has large depot and ex-
press office and does a large bust
ness.
Brownsville is a quaint old town;
built much on the old Spanish style;
narrow streets, poorly kept, the most
of them. OF course the main streets
are paved, but the others are not.
There are good many Spanish de-
scents there, and of course the town is
full of Mexicans. The river is slug

something like 40 or so yards across

Is centavos each way. When you get
across the river there is little troll
lily car waiting for you, drawn by two
small mules. (who have learned to
take their time.) Matamoros is about
a mile from the river. The car line
is double tracked, making looop
around or rather through the city,
and back to the ferry. They charge
you 6 centavos to carry you one way
Matamoros hardly impresses you
as being a town, at present, at least,
but more like fortress or garrison,
as about all one can see is soldiers,
carrying an enormously large six
shooter, or mounted on fiery stetd.
While in Matamoros, visited as many
of the different places as could, with
the limited time | had. l first went
to the City Market, market built
something on the order of the one at
Houston, but of course, not so large
consisting of roofing and supports
and partitions inside. Here in the
Market, Immediately after the battle at
Matamoros, they executed 10 Federal
soldiers; was told they were soldiers
who had hoisted the flag OF truce,
but as the Rebels approached, they

could put your thumb in.

where they used to have their amuse-
ment, watching some courageous UNI

About all that remained of the once
famous bull ring, was the ashes, and

be something like 60 feet in diameter,
a good deal smaller than / had ca
pected it.
The next place l visited was the
Cemetery. You wonder what there
would be to see at such a place, !
suppose. The cemetery had large
brick or stone wall enclosing 1t, en-
closing possibly one acre. Inside this
cemetery are large and beautiful
tombs-burying above the ground, as
is the old Spanish style. The tombs'
most of them we're large enough for
a whole family. This is the place
where only the rich are buried; the
poor having a separate cemetery. In
the southwest corner of the cemetery
is what is called the "bone-yard,"
square enclosure of about II feet. II

relatives do not pay IS a pear, land
