GRAND OPERA
IN MATAMOROS
Two Operas Produced last Night
'by Signora Chalia.
Notwithstanding the Excellence of the
Company Appearing at the Opera
House in Matamoros the Audience
Was Not as Large as on Sunday.
The second night of the opera
season at;the Opera House, Mata
moros, was a greaj success from
an operatic standpoint, but the at
tendance was much smaller than
the brilliancy of the company de
served. The attendance from Ma
tamoros was hot aS large as on the
opening night while the attend
ance from Brownsville was even
better than on Sunday night. Two
operasi were produced and both
were sung in a most creditable
manner.
Mascagni's celebrated opera in
one act "Cavalleria Rusticana"
was the first on the program, and
the excellent and earnest work of
Signora Rosalia Chalia, supported
in every way in a manner a prima
donna of her high rank deserves
by Signoras Gentilini and Pcccini,
and Signores Sigaldi, Ovande and
an efficient chorus, won the hearts
of the entire audience.
Leoncavallo's opera, "J Pagli
acci , in tjvo acts, a production
. . .
reauirine finished artistes to suc
cessfully interpret it, was the last
part of the evenings' work. Sig'
nora Rosalia vjnalia as JNeaaa
again displayed her wonderful
talents to the best advantage, cap
tivating her audience with sweet
voice and intense dramatic ability.
The next performance will be
Thursday evening, and the meri
torious work of Signora Chalia and
her accomplished supporters should
attract a crowded house. Such a
marvelous voice 'as the prima don
na posses and her splendid concep
tion of the dramatic requirements
of the roles she interprets stamps
her as one of the foremost stars in
the operatic firmament. The op
portunity to Tiear her and the
splendid company should not be
missed by any lover of music in
the cities of Brownsville and Matamoros-
WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney, Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Brownsville People
Have Learned This Fact-
When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap
parent cause, becomes weak, lan
guid, depressed, suffers backache,
headache, dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid
neys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
J. P. Anderson, carpenter, liv
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
"My Kidneys have given me more
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
loins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy
ance, especially in the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad
vertised and brought home a box,
I used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given raeuo trouble since. I can
recommend Doan'sXKidney ills

Brownsville people. Call at J. L.

ERRORS.
Man Who Wasn't Cheap Got a Cigar
and a Bad Opinion of the Hotel.
The cigar stand in the lobby of a
certain hotel is nearer the door than
the desk is, and frequently people
who nave never stayed at the hos
telry will go to the stand to register.
The other evening a man from up
in the north part of the fetate enter
ed the lobby and went to the cigar
6tand.
"What are your prices ?' he asked
of the girl.
, 'Trom 10 to 50 cents' she re
plied, thinking he meant the prices
of cigars.
- "Gee! Is that all?" he asked,
"Sounds good tq me."
The girl put three, boxes of cigars
on the case. ThVman took a Ha
vana. "Much obliged," he said. "Is
it customary to 'set 'em up' to every
new guestr
The girl thought it was one of
the usual little pleasantries men un
load at the stand. "Oh, yes, she
said.
"AVell," said the man from the
country, "where is the register?"
"Sight here," said the girl, point
ing to the cash register.
He thought it a joke and laughed.
"Where's the book?" he asked when
he had finished laughing. "I meant
to put my name down."
"You don't have to register when
you buy a cigar," said the girl. She
didn't know just what was wrong
with that man.
"But I want a room," he said.
"Oh!" came from the girl as she
realized the mistake that had been
made. There s the desk over
there. This is the cigar stand. Go
there and get your, room."
Then she dropped into a chair to
lauch. Pretty soon the clerk came
to the stand.
"Sav ,' he said to the girl, "what
made you tell that man we had
rooms here for from 10 to 50 cents
a night? He said he wasn't cheap
and would take the quarter one.
He's gone away with a bad opinion
of us."
"That's not the worst of it," said
the girl. "He's gone away with one
of our fifteen cent cigars too." Ex
change.
Origin of "Hip, Hip, Hurrah!"
A .London paper, answering a
question as to the derivation of
"Hip. hip, hurrah!" printed
following excerpt on the subject
from the London Tatler of 1832
"During the stirring times of the
crusades the chivalry of .Europe was
ercited to arms by the inflammatory
appeals of the well known Peter the
Hermit. While preaching the cru
sade this furious zealot was accus
tomed to exhibit a banner embla
zoned with the letters H. E. P, the
initials of the Latin words, Hiero
solyma Est Perdita' (Jerusalem is
destroyed). The people in some of
the countries which he visited, not
being acquainted with Latin, read
and pronounced the inscription as
if one word Hep. The followers
of the Hermit were accustomed,
.whenever an unfortunate Jew ap
peared in the streets, to raise the
cry, Hep, hep, hurra to hunt him
down and flesh upon the defenseless
Israelite their maiden swords, he-
fore they essayed their temper with
the scimiter of the baracen.
A Noble Critic
When Pope wasvfirst introduced
to Lord Halifax to read Ms 'Tliad,"
the noble critic generously criticised
this passage and that word at fre
quent intervals. The poet was
-stung with vexation, for the parts
that most pleased him were the
ones most criticised. As he re
turned home with Sir Samuel
Garth he revealed his displeasure.
"Oh " said Garth, '"you are not
acquainted with his lordship. 3Te
must criticise. At the ' next visit
read liim the same passages and tell
him you recollected his criticisms."
Pope made use of this -'stratagem.
Lord Halifax was delighted and ex
claimed, 'Tope, they are now in
imitable!" Faced the Liens. -African
Explorer (spinning a
yarn) Not very long ago I went'
out one day nnarmed,.when I sud-j
ftehly found myself 'face to face
with three lions.
Friend Well?
Explorer I fixed my gaze on the
brutes, then stuck my hands in my
pockets and walked away, whistling
an. air from an opera.
Friend And didn't the lions im
mediately rush at you?
Explorer They couldn't. It was
at the zoo. London Tit-Bits.
Hurrying Him.
A superintendent -of the Little
Wanderers' home attended a watch
night service and closed his testi
mony by saying, "It may be but a
month longer that I shall be here,
perhaps a week, or even before the
Cicse ji uuuuicr uuy j. biunt uc
gone." .JJe nlld hardly sca'ted him
self whenTa young man in the back
0f the vestry started the old song,
"Oh. whv do von wait, dear brother.
0h, why" do you tarry so long?"
