humor and originality contained
in the Glass Prophecy" which

Vincent, Charlotte Ferguson and
Nellie Dyksterhuis. eliciting well
merited applause from the large
audience.

talk will ever be remembered by
all who were fortunate enough to

ceived direct information concerning
the recent death of Gen. Maclovio Her
rera, who was killed in the same man
ner as Gen. Stonewan Jackson. the
famous Confederate leader in the civil
war. The telegram from Laredo, Tex.
follows:
1T is true that yesterday the gal
liant Gen. Maclovio Herrera met
tragic death through a lamentable err
ror of our own forces. General Her
rera had sailed early to meet the en-
emy who was coming from Piedras
Negras and was nearing Laredo. 1t
was about 10 a. m. when he observed
that a secret military train he had
sent out ahead was returning to Lar
edo. General Herrera tried to ap-
proach the train in order to obtain
some news about the enemy. when the
escort of the train fired at the general
and his staff. taking them for en-

his aides were killed. 1t has been
