Right Rev.Father Constantineau,
Provincial of the Oblates pi Mary
Immaculate, is at present a guest
of the Oblate Fathers in Browns
ville, having arrived Monday night
from a visit to up-river points in
the interest of the mission work of
his order on the lower Rio Grande.
The Reverend Provincial this
morning, accompanied by Rev.
Father Levoyer, Superior at
Brownsville, paid The Herald
office an appreciated call this morn
ing. Father Constantineau is a
very pleasant gentleman and a pro
gressive representative of his
hurch. His present visit to this
section is in the interest of the ex
tension of the Oblate mission work
here.
As reported in Monday's Her
ald, one part ot the errand ot
Father Constantineau at this time
was to visit the Lomita mission
ranch in Hidalgo county, which
was lately sold by the Oblate Fath
ers to Messrs. uonway cc xioit.
The final transfer of all stock on
the ranch and a bill of .sale of the
same to tue purchasers was exe
cuted by Father Constantineau on
this visit, the amount realized
therefor being $9,688.50.
This money and other proceeds
of the sale of the ranch will be
used by the Oblates for the erection
of chapels and schools throughout
this section, whose present rapid
development will create a need for
greater school and church facilities
than those now in existence.
Father Constantineau visited
Mercedes Monday, as reported in
The Herald, in the interest of
the establishment of a Catholic
church there, but reports that
nothing has been decided definitely
in the matter. He also visited
Santa Maria and inspected the oldj
chapel there, which he found mucn:
in need of repair. Efforts will be
made to have this chapel repaired,
and generally improved.
The Reverend Provincial wil
remain in Brownsville a day or so
longer, and while here probably
will take some steps to push the;
work of raising the fund for the
erection of the proposed Sacred
Heart church which the American;
Catholics will build here. i
This morning at nine o'clock.
about a dozen customs officials, in
cluding the two inspectors who
were charged with the shooting of
Higinio Garcia, which occurred
near Brownsville on the night of
May 4, were taken to the house
where the wounded mau is staying,
and shown to him, in order to see
if he could identify any of them as
the persons who are alleged to have
halted Garcia and his companion
on the night in question. He was
unable, however, to identify any
of them, and as each one passed in
turn, he declared that he did not
recognize him as his assailant.
This is considered tantamount to
a dismissal of the charge against
Inspectors Delling and Anglin, the
accused officers, and it is supposed
that .such will be the result.

Last Friday, May 10, the nine
months term of the Hidalgo School
was brought to a close with some
most appropriate and interesting
exercises by the pupils. The last
two weeks of school were devoted
to written examinations, and the
results show decided progress.
The songs, recitations, etc. etc.,
were put forth in the perfect man
ner for which Miss Lillian Dough
erty is famous. During
her several years of service as
principal assistant in our school
Miss Dougherty has shown self ab
negation, administrative ability.and
tenacity of purpose of the highest
order, and her reward is the satis
faction of knowing that her work
has been appreciated. Miss Dough
erty announces that she now in
tends to retire from teaching, and
we. all realize that her place, in
our school will indeed be hard to
fill.

AN ELEGANT RECEPTION.
At the Home of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly.
Celebration of Anniversary.
Instead of Wedding.
Owing to the sudden illness of
Lieut. Mack Richardson at Fort
Sam Houston, he was unable to
come to Brownsville, and his mar
riage with Miss Anna Kelly.which
was to have taken place last even
ing at the home of her parents,
Mr. andMrsl Wm. Kelly, in this
city, was necessarily postponed.
As it happened, however, that
the date bad been chosen
on account of its being the wed
ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
Kelly, it was concluded to hold
the reception as planned, making
it a celebration of their anniversary.
It was a very elegant function.
The floral decorations were superb,
the color scheme being in green
and white. In the parlor, baud
some palms with white oleanders
weie used with exquisite effect.
The large dining room was arrang
ed with unusual taste, the mantel
being banked with ferns and roses,
and the table beautiful with pure
white lilies.
A huge punch bowl was en:
sconced on a round table in one
corner, which was also most effec
tively banked with ferns. A salad
course was served first, followed
by ices and cake, with punch of
a most delicious brew.
Although- much regret was felt
on account of the unavoidable post
ponement of the wedding, yet it
was a very happy event, as the
guests experienced sincere pleasure
in congratulating their host and
hostess upon the celebration of the
37th. anniversary of their marriage,
and in wishing for them, many
more years of happy wedded life.

The most significant tendency
which an observer of educational
progress sees to-day is that of spe
cialization. The time is fast ap
proaching when t will be recog
nized that merely a general educa
tiou, whether on classical or scien
tific lines, is not alone a suitable
preparation for life.says the Scien
tific American.
Not that culture is less desirable
than formerly, rather it is more
desirable, but above this general
substructure must be placed a tech
nical education which will give
that special application to some
calling which the coming age will
demand. Colleges which ' devote
their attention sojely to general
culture training will become o;
less importance. The institutions
nowknown by the various titles of
technical colleges, institutes of:
technology, and polytechnic instL- -tutes,
are the colleges of the
twentieth century which will dov
most for their students, which will,
be in closest touch with the needs
of civilization, which will provide.
at once the most " cultural
the most rational, and. thej
most scientific instruction. These -institutions,
by whatsoever name
designated, will be the important
colleges of the future, because?
they will give that perfect unity off
thought and action, that harmony
of theory arid practice, which the
needs of the future' demand

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the earc.
There is only one way to cure deafness,,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deamess s caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Ens
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflann
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless th.
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal 'condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases, out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One, Hundred Dollar for
