Don't ask our competitors about the
Holsman ask our customers. The
automobile world is fast waking up
to the fact that mere "tonnage"-sur-plus
weight-is not a desirable quality
But the luxury of lightness is a pleas

business or professional travel is a
virtue that counts.
Buy a Holsman and the repairman will be out of a job.

The tourist car Raymondville'
arrived in this city last night with
a party of twelve homeseekers from
Chicago. The car was attached to
the regular train, and is now side
tracked on the Y It is expected
that the party will leave this city
tomorrow morning.

The Brownsville baseball team
nad a very good practice game
yesterday afternoon at Washington
park, when they played a picked
up team a double-header. The
first game was a 'complete walk
over for the regulars, but it never
the-less gave them excellent prao
ice. The second game, which
lasted for five innings, also result
ed in favor of the regulars, the
score being 5 to 4.
A party of excursionists that
came through Corpus Christi to
Brownsville, stopping over in the
former city to take a sea bath,
were robbed while in bathing
Everything of value was taken
from their pockets, even their rail
road tickets being taken, so that
tney were compelled to buy new
tickets to reach Brownsville. They
are naturally very indignant at
such an outrage. It is to be hoped
that the city of Corpus Christi may
catch the thieves and restore the
property of the unlucky tourists
The way the fire boys tumbled
out of bed at two o'clock in the
morning to go to the rescue of the
burning bakery, gives promise of a
fine service for our city. It should
be remembered that this is an en
tirely voluntary service, and our
citizens should be proud of the
boys and extend them all the en
couragement possible. At present
the department is handicapped for
want of proper equipment, and it
is expected that every citizen will
do bis or her pare towards secur
ing the needed apparatus for the
department.
About a hundred excursionists
went from here yesterday to the
opening f the newj bath-house at
Tarpon Beach. They had a fine
day, and enjoyed the surf on one
of the finest beaches on the entire
Gulf coast. It is quite an acquisi
tion for this coast to have a 36
room bath-house. Although the
company has provided 80 bathing
suits, they did not have enough to
accommodate the crowd of bathers
at one time. The restaurant at the
Beach was kept busy attending to
the wants of the many visitors, and
did a fine business.
Test Discovers a Broken Pipe.
The test of the water mains this
morning for fire pressure resulted
in finding a defective pipe in a
main in the upper part of the city,
which was bursted by the pressure,
throwing a geyser of water to con
siderable distance upward in the
air. It was expected that there
would probaly be some defective
pipes, and the result was no sur
prise to those who knew what to
expect, as it would be a most un
usual thing for as many miles of
piping to belaid without some of
the pipes being cracked or having
some defect or other. In some
cities as many as fifteen to twenty
cracked pipes have been discovered
and replaced, before the system
was in perfect order. The pres
sure put upon the mains this morn
ing was only 125 pounds. The en
gineer expects to put on a pres
sure of 165 pounds before the test
is finally completed. Several pipes
have also been discovered which
have small leaks, which will also
be remedied.
The fire boys were out with the
hose carts and ready to do their
part, but the break above mention
ed prevented their using the hose,
and they dispersed!without making
the test. Quite a large crowd was
gathered at the corner of the Mil
ler hotel, where the test was to
have been made-
Death of Mrs. Tumlinson.
Died, near this city, Friday.
May 8, Mrs. Edna S. Tumlinson,
aged 26 years.
The deceased was the wife of W,
R. Tumlinson, a well known
young business man of this city.
She had been in bad health for
several months and had lately mo
ved to the -country to see if the
change would not benefit her
health. The cause of death was
nethritis.
A bride of only six months, her
early nassinir from life, is sad and
touching. She was formerly Miss
Edna Shipmen of Kenedy, Texas,
where she was married to Mr.
Tumlinson six months ago. The
remains were taken to Kenedy
Saturday for interment, being ac-
comoanied bv the sorrow stricken
young husband.

Will Race in Matamoros.
Matamoros sportsmen are look
ing forward to a friendly match
race which will take place Sunday
afternoon at the track in that city
between E. J. Puig's mare "Gi
tana,'' and Raoul Garate's horse,
"Leoncito," in a quarter mile
dash. "Ghana'' is a Brownsville
product, being a beautiful black
mare that was raised on the Bla
lack farm near here. She will be
ridden by Rafael Hernandez, one!
of the best race riders in Tamau
lipas. "Leoncito" has quite a local
reputation as a sprinter, and is a
recent acquisition to Mr. Garate's
string of fast horses. This horse
cleaned up a purse of $2,000 for
his former owner a few months ago
in Matamoros. Leoncito will be
ably handled by Capt. Villavozo,
an expect rider of the second
Mexican Cavalry.
There is no money up on the
race. 1 he owners simply wish to
test the merits of their horses. The
race has created quite stir among
friends of both parties, however,
and it is expected quite a large
crowd will witness it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumblinir sound or imner
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and the
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 Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Onre. Send for circulars free.
