HUMANE SUNDAY IS
OBSERVED In CITY
Fair Sized Crowd Attends Union
Service at Methodist Church
Mrs. G. L. Jessup Heard.

fairly good crowd attended the HUI
name Society program at the Methodist
church last night in observance of Humane
Sunday The program announced Satur-
day was carried out with great success. Mrs.
w. NJ patterson and Mrs. Carroll offered
some beautiful solos Members of the sew
eral churches were in attendance
The sermon of the evening was by Mrs.
c. L Jessup, chairman Of the Humane So
ciety Of Brownsville. She said in her lee
ture that the time was ripe in Brownsville
to fight for the cause.
1.-TWO books read by the people are the
Bible and the book of the times. The Lord
set aside this day for humane interests and
Humane Sunday The book of the times
set aside the day for bull fight" said
Mrs. Jessup. 1T Il surprising that the pec-
pie brought up under the the influence Of
these times would resort to amusement Of
the dark ages for pleasure, and bullfight
could be called nothing more than prehis-
toric fun"
Mrs. Jessup spoke of the good work ac-
compIished through the past year aided by
the pastors and other members OF the
churches, She said that the commQp belief
was THAI the Humane Society was Instituted
to arrest ignorant and cruel drivers, but
this was in reality a mere side line of the
work undertaken She explained that the
chief work was to educate the children and
raise them under conditions that would
make them true American citizens, with
thoughts Of deeds and kindness instead Of
cruelty She gave several anecdotes of the
great men of the country who had stood be-
hind the work and several striking instances
where the men went out of their way to be
kind to dumb animals
In conclusion she said that the present
war was the only one in which the animals
were taken care of after being wounded in
battle She read the prophecy of the Bible
saying that the time would come when
the Welt, the lion and the lamb should eat
and sleep together and little children and
men could walk among them without fear
to man or beast She stated that TO this
end was the Humane Society working.
Judge W. S. West Of Brownsville spoke
on the legal side of humane treatment to
animals and urged the Importance Of the
education of people to treatment of ami
mails. He spoke Of his experiences in
Alaska, where he formerly lived, where men
relied absolutely on dogs in transportation.
He gave many touching and interesting in
stances on animal and human relations in
the froden north. and he read the Texas
laws on cruelty to animals

The greatest crowd that has ever visited
Brownsville, excepting the time when the
national guard troops were stationed here
spent Sunday in the city. 1t is estimated
that fully five thousand people, from points
as far north as Houston and as far west rs

by automobile and by train, but mostly by
automobile. for the greater proportion OF
visitors were from the cities of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.
The majority of the crowd came for the
bullfirht Most Of them had never seen
one and they were here solely for that
event. But there was large portion OF
the crowd that hesitatcd at the cantinas OF
Matamoros, and there were other attrac-
tions, to Judge from the large numbers
gathered about the little tables that were
stationed all about Matamoros plaza
Such expressions as "casa chica, casa
qrande.v "bueno." "I'm through" and
"I've had enough" ''never again." and so
forth and so on were quite common. Checks
were cashed at premium in some cases.
But despite all this. the Brownsville fo-
lice department said today that the crowd,
or 20 much of il as was in Brownsville
was quite orderly. Only three arrests were
made during the day and night, and these
were for minor acts of rowdyism. The
men were released today and left for their
homes, sadder, but considerably wiser.
Ii N estimated that the receipts at the
bullfight were around $l4, 1000, and further
estimates are that Americans alone left
nearly $4,000 in Matamoros during the
