WEDNESDAY JULY 31 1889-
The earthquake promised to ma-
teralize In this city ou about early
September may avail to shake the
dry bones of this community. It all
events it is worth while to see. Trot
out your earthquake Mr. Wiggins
The president’s visit at Bar Harbor
will be an evident bar to the persist-
ency of office seekers. A harbor of
refuge for one month from the persist-
ent attacks of these persecutors will
be a great relief to the chief magis-
trate. It will be as the shadow of a
great rock to the English army of oc-
cupation in Egypt.
Foraker will get good help from
‘‘Treasury John” in his coming gub-
ernatorial fight. Senator Sherman
wants a republican colleague in the
senate and he knows that a repub-
lican governor and republican state
legislature naturally go together.
Ohio is booked for a sweeping repub-
lican victory in legislative and admin-
istrative candidates.
Thf. San Antonio and Arausas Pass
wheels are all turning today very
much to the satisfaction of the officers
of the road its employes and ail
concerned particular!}’ to the satis-
faction of every merchant and ship-
per along its lines whether in this
city or elsewhere. It is most devoutly
to be wished and the probabilities are
that another such stoppage will not
occur iu the history of the road.
The special meeting of the city
council called last evening by mount-
ed police notice to the members of
council call all the aidermen to the
municipal chamber save two. No
action was taken beyond a motion to
employ council to aid the city attor-
ney in defending the injunction suits
and that motion was lost. The king
of France with 20000 men marched
up the hill. The king of France with
20000 men marched down again.
Rev. Howard Howlett or Hewlett
whose case has caused such a com-
motion in legal and church circles
has recovered one cent damages from
the court before which he cited his
defamers to show cause why they
should not pay $lOOOO for declaring
that his name was not Howard. The
case stands very largely as it was be-
fore the jury returned their verdict.
Rev. Howard's friends consider him
vindicated and say tiiat tiie damages
awarded only prove ttiat lie was not
seriously injured but that it estab-
lishes his claim as legitimately How-
ard The defeudauts claim that the
verdict shows that Howard’s charac-
ter was only of the one ceut kind.
Secretary H. P. Bee of the Ala-
mo Monument Association has sent
to the desk of the Light a copy in
pamphlet of the speech recently de-
livered at San Marcos Chautauqua by
the Hon. Seth Shephard of Dallas.
Copies of this speech are for sale at
all the book’s tores of this city price
25 cents proceeds to be donated to
the Alamo Monument fund. It is a
well printed pamphlet of twenty-one
pages full of very interesting matter
and should net a good sum for the
Monument fund. Buy one.
” I —
Herndon’s Lifeof Lincoln is a book
that will have a' tremendous sale. It
throws more light on the character of
the man Lincoln than all that has
been written. It shows the duality
of the great commoner’s mind as noth-
ing else ever has attempted and is a
clear revelation of his mental evolu-
tion. It may change some estimates
made of the martyr president but it is
a valuable addition to the literature
of the most interesting and intensely
American individual in American
history since the revolutionary pe-
riod.
Normal Green of the Western
Union Telegraph intimates that the
contract between his company and
the United States does not permit the
government to put its own price upon
messages and that the case may be
relegated to the courts if Mr. Wanna-
maker does not come to time. Then
the courts will be called upon to
put a valuation on the privileges
granted the Western Union ami Mr.
Green may find tiiat the balance is
against him. Best way is for the
government to take the whole con-
cern and run it. Green and his tribe
have made millions out of it now let
the people have telegraph service at
cost.
Even the Ancient Free and Accept-
ed are not exempt. The consistory of
the Cerneau branch of the Scottish
Rites has secured a temporary injunc-
tioD in the Eighteenth judicial dis-
trict of lowa restraining the grand
lodge of the Ancient Free and Accept-
ed Masons of lowa from carrying into
effect an order of the late grand lodge
which orders all members to leave
the Cerneau consistory of lowa under
pain of expulsion. This is the first
time Masons have carried their
troubles into a court of law and the
fraternity will be greatly exercised
over the result. The permanent in-
junction will be argued before the
October term of court. The injunc-
tion is granted on the claim of the
consistory that the grand lodge of
lowa does not confer blue lodge de-
grees nor the twenty-nine degrees of
the Scottish rite and therefore has no
jurisdiction.
Off for Europe.
Tiie Light is in receipt of a letter
from Mr. Jacob Saper announcing
that he had took passage on the 27th
on the Lloyd steamers for Europe. He
will visit Breslau to see his parents
from thence he will go to Berlin ami
Paris. His many friends wish him a
pleasant trip.
In the Wayside Notes of the New
Orleans Daily City Item the Light
finds the following which is mani-
festly so applicable to this city ’hat it
is reproduced and commended to the
municipal council of San Antonio for
their prayerful consideration:
“It is a general hope that the city
council will henceforward pursue the
most liberal and encouraging policy
in respect to privileges prayed tor by
new industrial projects. The busi-
ness conditions and prospects of this
city demand thatall enterprises which
will increase the opportunities for
wage earners should be fostered. The
labor pay rolls of New Orleans need
to be enhanced manifold in order to
assure the prosperity of the commu-
nity as a whole and safeguard the
values of property.”
When applications tor rapid transit
franchises and such other projects as
are certain to benefit this city come
before the city fathers let them re-
member the above and do the thing
that is required of them.
—Contractor Braden has started a
supply wagon to his men at Balcones
rock quarry.
—( 'apt. Ramsay has gone to Pleas-
anton on lodge business.
The Waco Day evidently does not
consider that the mantle of Cleveland
has fallen on Mills judging from the
following:
“It will be very hard work cultivat-
ing a Cleveland boom in Texas for’92.
It will not grow to maturity. And
likewise may work on a David B.
Hill boom prove labor lost. We shall
not—just yet at all events—suggest a
Sam Randall boom either. But even
as there are thousands of Texas dem-
ocrats who will support Hill in pref-
erence to Cleveland so there are just
as many who will if the issue is made
take Randall in preference to Cleve-
land.”
Where Randall has the call in this
open manner in Roger's own state
among Roger’s own people it does
seem that tiie cyclone which hit
Cleveland knocked out his bottle
holder as well. All the same the Day
thinks that no man can stand a show
of contesting Mill’s renomiuation to
congress should he desire one and
the man who seeks to down him will
simply ride a buzz saw in motion.
A Blr Chop in Ladies Underwear.
On the counter opposite our silk de-
partment will be found this week 75
boxes of ladies’ India gauze gauze
and Balbriggan jersey Lisle thread
and ribbed vests in colors of brown
white pink and blue. These broken
lines and mixed lots are a recent pur-
chase of an entire stock of ladies’
underwear and the most inferior
ones would be considered a bargain
at 50 cents each. Many of them sell
for 75 cents and $l.OO in the ordinary
way. To close out the stock this
week we otler the lot at 25 cents each.
That all our patrons may share in
this boon a limited stock demands
that we sell not more than three vests
to each customer. L. Wolfson.

SellinK the Merchant.
The San Antonio Anarchist Society
have sent out a number of old bums
for several days past to visit some of
principal stores who would select
a large lot of goods pretending that
they wanted to buy and would then
ask the clerk or proprietor how he
stood on the labor question and then
walk out saying they would boycott
said merchant if he patronized this or
that person who they choose to black
list. Oue of these pretenders bor-
rowed some money from the treasurer
of his society and was showing it in
several stores yesterday saying that
he was going to buy from only those
who would help them down the
bloated capitalist and labor oppressor.
