THEIR FIRST BORN.
It would have taken more than 15
cents to have had Mr. E. J. Wulfe, the
barber at Tremont and Market, shave
you this morning. He was too happy
to work. It was a small matter that
made him so, but it was the first baby
that ever arrived at his home and it was
a beautiful little girl, too.

The City Hall.
“That does not look very nice,” re-
marked a gentleman, as he walked
through the city hall this morning and
saw a pile of old broken chairs, desks
and dirt in one of the vacant offices. “I
should think they would remove that
rubbish to some more obscure place
than right next to the purchasing agent’s
office and across from the sanitary engi-
neer. I don’t think that sight would
give a stranger a very good impression.
I should think the authorities would
take more pride in the appearance of the
interior of as nice a building as our city
hall and have the janitor remove the
unsightly stuff.”
FOOT PADS.
An attempt to rob Gus Franck was
made a little after 12 o’clock last Satur-
day night. He left the saloon, where he
is employed, on Tremont between Mar-
ket and Mechanic, about 12 o’clock, and
started for his home near the corner of
Eleventh and Market. When he reached
Fifteenth and Market three men ap-
proached him and ordered him to throw
up his hands. Mr. Franck being armed,

On Saturday evening last Mr. Anton
Marenovich and Mies Gelena Castay
were married, at the residence of the
bride on Mechanic street, between Sev-
enteenth and Eighteenth. A large party
of friends were present and an elegant
reception was held. The couple left the
same evening for San Antonio. After
visiting there a short time they will take
a trip through Mexico.

Like Clock Work.
“If the work of the district and
criminal courts in Galveston county was
rushed through like it is in the federal
court,” said a gentleman who dropped
into the court house the other day to
observe the manner of doing busin "SB,
“the tax payers would be saved several
thousand dollars each year. Every-
thing moves along with the smoothness
of clock work in the United States
court. There is no dilly-dalling about
witnesses or juors, or anything else.
When a case is set lor trial the client
and attorneys must be ready, and they
know it. This could just as easy be
done in other courts if the lawyers and
clients were only educated up to it and
the judges of the courts could make them
understand this if they were only a little
more severe with them.
a *
Increased Insurance.
“I was talking with a friend of mine
the other day who is in the insurance
business,” remarked a prominent con-
tractor yesterday, “and he showed me
some figures giving the amount of the
insurance business done in this city in
the past five years. It is almost double
what it was a few years ago. The city
hasen’t doubled, and the only way I can
account for it is that in the past five
years a large number of valuable build-
ings have been erected here, sufficient
in number to double the insurance busi-
ness.”
To Cut Away the Bar—The Deep Water
Committee Meet the Emergency by
Making an Appropriation for Experi-
mental Dredging.
The subject of dredging the bar to
assist the currents now directed by the
jetty in cutting away the bar has been
very generally discussed during the past
few months.
Some time since the chamber of com-
merce, through its president W. F. Ladd,
addressed a communication to Major
Allen asking if the government proposed
dredging as contemplated by the terms
of the bill and contract. The
reply was to the effect that
the government engineers had not de-
cided upon immediate dredging, butthat
the Chamber of Commerce or other pri-
vate authority might at personal ex-
pense make experiments dredging with-
in such lines as would be designated by
the engineering department.
This proposition was accepted and
the matter placed in the hands of Mr.
Julius Runge, who succeeded today in
having a called meeting of the deep
water committee.
Chairman George Sealy presided and
the subject was very thoroughly dis-
cussed.
The data from the chamber of com-
merce included the necessary authority
and instructions from the engineering
department; also a proposition from a
responsible firm of contractors, Charles
Clarke & Co., to make the experiment
desired for so much money.
The amount of money necessary was
appropriated by the committee and a
committee of four, two from the cham-
ber and two from the committee, ap-
pointed to look after the details of the
experiment.
Anticipating such action, the contrac-
tors are well prepared for commencing
work in a very few days.
The information furnished by the
department show the exact point where
the work is needed. The 13-foot bar,
as shown by the engineer’s chart is just
abreast the uncompleted end of the jetty
and it is believed that with a minimum
amount of dredging, will assist the
currents to % cut it to the 18-
foot level just outside. The inside bar
being at the 18-foot level, this work
would, if successful, make an immediate
18-foot channel, which would be main-
tained, if not increased, while the south
jetty is being completed and the north
jetty built.
Action Taken on
Night Schools.
A meeting of the school board was
held Saturday evening. The principal
object of the meeting wad to consider the
question of free night schools.
All members of the board were present
except Messrs. Ballinger and Hanscom.
The following course of study was sub-
mitted by Superintendent Cooper for the
night schools, which was unanimously
adopted:
1. Form two classes in each of the fol-
lowing subjects: Arithmetic, grammar,
geography and history, writing and bus-
iness forms.
2. Form one ciaes in each of the fol-
lowing subjects: Spelling, reading,
physiology and hygiene.
Dr. Thomas Flavin and Mr. M. S.
Beard were recommended by .the
superintendent as teachers for the night
schools for white persons.
Mayor Fulton moved that the secre-
tary be instructed to cast the full vote of
the board for these teachers subject to
examination. Carried.
Superintendent Cooper was authorized
to procure the services of a competent
teacher for the school for colored
children, by March 15, at a salary of $60
per month, subject to the approval of
the board at its next meeting.
A communication from a sub-commit-
tee of the state senate calling attention
to a proposed bill for a uniform system
of public schools in cities and towns
was read. The matter was referred to a
special committee consisting of Presi-
dent Hawley, Superintendent Cooper
and Secretary Rose, who will give their
opinion on the matter at the next meet-
ing.

Some Locations That Need Immediate
Attention—Appearance of the Interior
of the City Hall—Slow Work of the
Courts—The Insurance Business.
“I notice there are several people talk-
ing to Evening Tribune about the sani-
tary condition of Galveston and the
work that is before the board of health,”
remarked a west end resident yesterday.
“It is a very important matter and the
work of cleaning up the streets and al-
leys and putting them in a thorough
sanitary condition should nol be delayed.
There are several places in the outskirts
of the city that need immediate atten-
tion. One place in particular is out on
the beach near the Denver Resurvey.
I here are two dead cows and two dead
horses laying on the beach within a half
block of each other, and but a short dis-
tance from several residences. It is
surely the duty of some one to see that
such things are looked after. From
their appearance they have baen there
some time.”
CONDUCTOR INJURED.
Conductor Brown of car 37 was badly
injured about 4 o’clock Saturday even-
ing. He was sitting on the railing on
the rear of the car leaning over watching
a car behind him. He had forgotten
about the poles in the center of the street
and was struck by one of them. He was
picked up insensible and taken to the
Sealy hospital. His injuries are serious
reached for his revolver and all three . but will not prove fatal.
CULTIVATED SPINAGE istheiat-
y est. It comes in cans,

Bichard Mansfield.
The New Orleans Picayune has the
following to say of Richard Mansfield,
who opens a two night’s engagement at
the Tremont tonight. “A Parisian
Romance” is by Octave Fullet, ami it is
a play of great interest, showing a good
young man — De Targy — who im-
poverishes himself to give his fortune to
pay a debt left by his father. Added to
agony his handsome young wife
runs from him. His mother
is his comfort, and the good doctor is
their friend. The play is a strong one,
but the good acting of Mr. Mansfield
makes its story and minor characters al-
most forgotten. The baron is an old
roue, rich and mean. He believes money
is all-powerful. He indulges his tastes
until he is a wreck, and he diesat a ban-
quet he is giving to flattering friends and ,
to some women of the ballet he flatters.
To picture the decay and death of this
remnant of humanity is Mr. Mansfield’s
work. He does it to perfection. It was
this creation that first gave him promi-
nence in the serious drama. It can not
be imitated. It is the result of weeks
and weeks of patient study. Every line
of his face, every expression, every ges-
ture has a meaning. ' It is a work of
art, and by a master.”
Mr. Mansfield has decided to present
the most prominent plays of his reper-
toire during his engagement in this city,
as follows:
Monday evening, “Beau Brummell;”
Ro-
School of Shorthand and
Typewriting.
The. PERNIN and GRAHAM systems taught.

MISS LECLAIR’S JUMP.
The balloon ascension and parachute
jump made by Miss LeClair at Wool-
lam’s lake yesterday afternoon was a
great success and a beautiful sight.
Fully 2000 people witnessed the exhibi-
tion.
About 5.30 o’clock the balloon was
turned loose and it floated away like a
bird.
Miss LeClair, was seated in her swing
and as she left the earth she smiled
sweetly at the vast crowd and waving
her hand was soon a mere spec in the
air.
The balloon went up a distance of
2000 feet when she cut loose and began
slowly to descend.
The wind was light and she landed
about six blocks from whef e^L?^tarted
and was back to the lake in less than
fifteen minutes as happy and chirp as a
cricket. The balloon came down within
a block from where she did.
The exhibition gave entire satisfaction
and Miss LeClair is becoming a great
favorite with Galveston people.
OFFERED THIS WEEK.
Among the articles mentioned in B.
A. Cook’s advertisement this week will
be found cultivated spinage in cans,

The First Baptist church was crowded
last evening to witness the exercises of
the celebration of the eighth anniver-
sary of the Galveston Young Men’s
Christian association.
President Frank B. Nichols made a
pleasing and interesting address and
submitted his annual report. He re-
viewed the work and good accomplished
by the association all over the United
States and in foreign countries. He gave
the membership and increase during the
past year, the number of colleges and
other institutions owned and conducted
by them, and many other statistics of
great interest.
The report of General Secretary Jud-
son B. Palmer was very lengthy and
complete showing in detail the work
accomplished by the association during
the past twelve months. He also made
a very interesting talk.
The report of-the treasurer, Mr. J. T.
Huffmaster, was submitted, showing
the receipts for the past year to have
been $5117.60 and the expenses about
the same. There was a balance in the
treasury, December 31, of $2.43.
Rev. Dr. Scott delivered the principal
address of the evening and it was an
elegant discourse. We would be pleased
to print it in full, but space will not
permit.
Rev. Dr. Lamar conducted the sub-
scription and donation part of the enter-
tainment and about $2300 was raised in
a very short time.
During the evening the Apollo quar-
tette gave selections. They were assisted

SOME WON’T SIGN.
Today was the time for the conductors
and motormen of the street car lines to
sign the contract to deposit $50 with the
company. Ten dollars is to be taken
out of each month’s wages until the
amount is paid. The contract is intended
to protect the company against acci-
dents caused by negligence on the part
of g¥rrylpves and to make them more
careful in runningT£ieT?^£&.
Several of the employes signed tiu?
contracts today, but a great many re-
fused to sign.
It is rumored that a meeting was held
last night by some of the men and a
union organized. There were about
thirty present.
It is the purpose of the union not to
sign these contracts, and it is probable
that there will be some difficulty before
the matter is settled. It is not known
whether the men will be allowed to con-
tinue at work or not if they do not sign
the contracts^
