PROCLAMATION.

Matagorda is ours. The extensive and healthy province of Texas is freed; it's inhabitants filled with en- thusiasm, flies the standard of Inde- pendence. The constitution of the Mexican Republic has superseded the despotism of the Spanish monarch. The oppressors fly before us. There is no obstacle to retard our march into the interior of the other prov inces. A commodious and safe har- Dor "a respectable land and naval force; magazines well supplied with arms and ammunition; soil fertile in all the necessaries of life-we want nothing but to exterminate our ene- mics, and drive the miserable remnant into the ocean. The troops of the Republic advance in every direction; the bands of the Tyrant, which infest the provinces of Vera Cruz and Oaxa- tal will soon be defeated and driven out. Tn a short time the flag of Spain will float no longer on the Gulf of Mexico.
 Inhabitants of Texas: Be proud that you have been taken under the protection of a constitution of the Republic. Show yourselves worthy of the rank to which you have been elevated. Fan the sacred flame of liberty, just kindled in the bosoms of our hitherto unfortunate brethren. just emancipated from the chains of despotisrn. Such conduct will be crowned with the blessing of Heaven. Cultivate with the utmost care a. brotherly intercourse and friendship with the Republic of the North; ab- stain from all illegal commerce, es-, pecially within the United States.
 Every violation of the law shall be punished with infiexible severity. Smugglers and pirates shall suffer death. The friends of Liberty the oppressed and the brave, shall a1- ways find a home and country among the people of Mexico. We will re- ceive with open arms all who respect our laws and independence

SEARCHLICHTS AID
 NEW HAVEN POLICE
 TO PREVENT THEFTS

A new method is being utilized by New Haven policemen for the detec- tion of crime at night. Police motor cycles are kept in motion during the dark hours. each equipped with swiv- elled searchlight of strong penetrating power for the observation of alley ways, staircases, and residence lawns The light is said. to be manufactured by the Hawthorne Manufacturing Go. of Bridgeport.
 Tests made by the New Haven po-, lice indicate that with motorcycles travelling the residential streets at good speed and flashing rays of light into dark places the would-be burglar meets with new interference which has greatly diminished crime.

CARRIAGES UPSET.

MT. Nathan I. Bennett and his lady were out carriage riding last evening and while passing the Douglass house down Main street a couple of hilari- ous persons from the picnic with a horse and buggy backed out from the hitching-post in front of the Douglass and coming in contact with the hind wheels of the carriage upset 1t. MT. and Mrs. B. were thrown out into the gutter but fortunately were not per- ceptibly injured. Had their horse been young and spirited the results must have been painfully serious if not fatal to both.

At the other, while the draw was opening a small boy jumped on the bridge, slipped and fell but by mere luck did not fall into the river. As it was one arm was body 'bruised.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
lex CHOOSES RESPEcTABILITY AND NE

After we were married, Eleanor, in
that mysterious way that women
have, continued to let me know that
she was not pining for love of me.
Perhaps was a little surprised and
piqued at that, because, my dear, we
are all more or less egotistical "a
man likes to think he is more or less
in many women's ives), but nothing
was said until that unlucky night on
the train" For once Dick was telling
the truth with vengeance.
you remember that pretty woman
who set out to blackmail me. Well,
she, of course, got me to drink more
than was good for me that night at
dinner. l did not know that Eleanor
was on the train until later and our
Irritation much advanced.
you will remember that the
woman was provocative and she GER
tainly gave me a lot of encourage
ment and perhaps would have fall
en- into her net if Eleanor had not
seen how things were going and sent
for me to come to her stateroom.
up to this time l am sure Flea
nor only had desire to keep me
from making fool of myself, for she
certainly told me that 1 was an idiot
to make up to that other woman.
l was influenced with wine and the
previous flirtation-the tempetation
came to find out if Eleanor had any
of the old-time feeling left for me.
you know the rest Eleanor,
poor girl, in trying to rescue me from
the other woman, contrived to dig a
pit for herself.
81 swear to you, Margie, that
was the most repentant and re-
morseful man you ever saw, for l
found that to Eleanor Fairlaw l was
the one and only man and I acted
like a scoundreL

CONFESSIONS
DICK CHOOSES RESPE'
looked at Dick searchingly.
''Are you sure that you want me
more than all the rest-instead of all
the rest?"
There never has been a moment,
my dear, when l would not take you
if all the women in the world might
be the alternative"
But, Dick"
There are no butts about it, Mar
gle. have tried to tell you often
that no woman understands the
ways of man any more than man
understands the ways of woman.
We start from different premises and
usually reach different conclusions.
ut is not always the woman that
a man desires most that he loves
most. A man may desire hundred,
yes, a thousand women, and forget
them in a moment, but the woman
he loves is always within his heart.
wish could explain Eleanor to you,
Margie. She is not bad woman.
Her only fault is in loving worth
less me.
81 know it sounds like a cad to
make the assertion, but after that
letter think you will agree that its
only explanation is, as she says, "a
great love- on her part. have no
excuse except that 1 am man and
she is a very pretty woman.
1.-THE poor girl" he said, regret
fully. 81 do not even have that ex-
cuse of loving her. You see, Margie,"
he went on in rather hesitating
manner, 81 am the only sweetheart
Eleanor Fairlow ever had, and while

words to be my wife, yet it was pref
