DISTRICT PHYSICIANS
TO ATTEND CONVENTION
Southern Medical Association Dele
gates Elected for Lexington
XVI Meeting.

Officers of the Southern Medical As
sociation, whose meeting will be held at
Lexington, KY, on November II, Is, 10.
and 20, claim that the convention will
be the most remarkable gathering OF
physicians ever assembled in the South.
The program, announced yesterday,
shows that each Of the sixteen Southern
States will be represented. The sub
jects to be discussed cover the whole
field of medicine and surgery. but topics
OF interest particularly to Southern
physicians predominate.
The District of Columbia will be rep
resented by A R. Stands, Cressy l.
Wilbur, ]. A. Ferrell, Capt Charles F.
Craig, c. w. Stiles, Tom A Williams,
Matthew J. Shields, and H. H. Hazen.
Any association that doubles its mem
bership each year must, the officers
claim, have good reasons for its
existence. The association has doubled
until at present there are nearly 400
members. There were 800 in 1870 800 in
1911, LOO in 1912, and from indications,
the 200 mark will be reached before
the meeting convenes.
The organization, 1t is urged, Is devoid
Of financial. political. or social induce
ments to join its ranks. 1t is a scientific
body. The result is that the papers con-
tributed are of high order.

Much Is said for and against the pre-

that appears may trace its origin to
some necessity or special occurrence
which the alert fashion dictators have
turned to advantage as a basis for a
new style. For years women were ex-

of colors- Black, gray. pink, and blues
were the proper colors for evening wear
To verge from this path on to the more
striking shades, and, above all, to wear
combinations of unusual colors would at

wore the most striking combinations of

who seemed to need a touch of color.

Americas consul considered himself IN
danger Of attack. He 50 informed Cen
Banks. who prepared to protect the
consul by training the artillery OF MS
force on Matamoras and holding mis-
troops in readiness to cross the river IN
the event of the consufs house being at
tackled.
Happily the situation did not result
In violence. Matamoras became calm
Within two days Cen Banks re-
garded Gen. Cortinas as a friend OF
TIE United States. He presented Gen
Banks with three steamers that had
been in the Rio Grande at Brownsyllle
at the time OF its occupation by the Fed
erals One of these, the Matamoras, was
the only boat In the river that coulf
cross the bar at its mouth at that stage
of the tide.
Everything now is as favorable as
could be desired" reported Gen. Banks
to Washington.
In this agreeable state of affairs Gen.
Banks left Brownsville for fresh
fields OF action. leaving Gen. N. J. I.
Dana with a garrison TO hold the town
The Federal garrison experienced no fur-
ther trouble from the Mexicans. An ex-
pedition was dispatched up the river to
Rio Grande city. and displayed the flag
there. Other expeditions secuted the sur
rounding country, but as 1t was desert
1t afforded no protection to an enemy.
The collection Of cotton to be sent North
was part Of the duty Of the Federals at
Brownsville. and this went on briskly
through tie winter. Gen. Banks
was recalled to New Orleans in January.
The Confederates made no immediate
efforts to reoccupy Brownsville, and it
remained in Federal hands until July
1864, when the garrison was Withdrawn.

himself or by the 400 troops under his
command.
Gen Banks, in short, had no sooner
arrived in Brownsville than he had found
himself an unwilling but important fac
tor in a Mexican revolution, having for
its object, he believed. the seizure of
the government of the State of Temauli-
pas, in the interests of the French.
As this State bordered the river, its
control by the French would present a
situation undesirable to the United
States. One Of Its principal towns. Mat
amoras, on the river opposite Browns
vile, had long been used as a shipping
point for Confederate cotton and a port
Of entry for European goods for the use
of the Confederate army.
The element of revolution, mingled with
the interests of the people engaged in
smuggling, made Matamoras, peculiarly
susceptible to excitement over the change
Of authority which took place in Browns
vile on November 6.
Ruler of n Day Shot.
Mexico, had been a Mexican General,
Jose Maria Cobos
During rioting resulting from the
withdrawal of the Confederates, who
had held Brownsville, Gen. Cobos had
received permission from the Browns
Vile civil authorities TO organize the
people to resist pillaging by the troops
and sub6ue fires that had been started
In cotton warehouses and had spread
to the business part of the town.
Gen. CObos had acted promptly but
not unselfshly. He formed an excel
lent and compact command, in which
were many Mexicans. On learning, on
the evening Of November 5. that the
Federals were near the town, he took
his command across the river, occupied
Matamoras, imprisoned the Governor of
Temaulipas, Don Manuel Ruiz, and
his staff, and issued a proclamation
calling on the garrison to support him
and strike a blow for liberty.
Gen. Banks on his arrival on Novem-
Der 6, assumed that Cobos was acting in
the interest of the French. He thought
the situation worthy Of a long report to
Washington. This and subsequent re-
ports reveal a typical drama of Mexico,
IN which bloody scenes moved quietly

Long trains and yoluminous folds were

Skirts became narrower and narrower

part in the designing Of the hoppie

leader of a day, was captured. and
