THE BELLA-UNION THEATRE
Although a new enterprise is receiving
the generous patronage of the public
which it well deserves as the crowded
houses every night testify. Everything
throughout the building is new and neat
as a pin. The building is thoroughly
ventillated which secures the comfort of
the patrons as they can keep cool as in
any place in the city. Only first class
speciality artists are employed the Mex-
ican troupe being worthy of special men-
tion. A new feature of this theatre and
one which the management desires par-
ticularly to introduce to the public is the
Sunday afternoon matinees; Peo-
ple have an idea that a variety
theatre cannot or does not give a clean
entertainment but this is a mistake.
These Sunday afternoon matinees are
given especially for the benefit of the
ladies and children and are under the
personal supervision of the genial mana-
ger. Mr. J. T. Leer. Not the least sem-
blance of vulgarity is allowed in the play
perfect order is maintained through-
out the house the bar being
entirely cut off from the building
properso that the ladies and children can
rest assured that they will be as well
taken care of as if in the privacy of their
own homes. Come out Sunday evening
and bring your little ones and let them
enj jy a few hours of good solid fun.
Doors open at 2 o’clock admission 10. 15

Its great length prevents publication
In our crowded columns. He

address the old soldiers as
comrades. He would address them
as a beneficiary to hie benefactors.
The gratitude of a nation was theirs.
Tw o heroes came from the battle field
each bad lost an arm one wore the
blue the otner the gray each is liv-
ing and when they buy gloves each
sends the otner hie odd glove. Let ue
remember this incident as a token ol
brotherly love worthy of emulation
and as a proof that all strife is over.
He recalled the war of the rebellion
and declared that a review of the lead-
ing causes would prove that it could
not have bee avoided by any human
power. Now the north and south
were indivisible and would never
again throw the sword or fix the bay-
onet except against a common foe.
The most beautiful word pictures filled
his speech andstirred hishearers to fre-
quent applause and at its conclusion
many old veterans of the war crowd-

The Waco Day is not enamored of
the economy-gone-to-seed policy of
the late legislature and airs its crit-
icism thusly:
The fate of the text book bill the
muddle caused by the carees hand-
ling of the list of notaries and other
work of the same kind should teach
the legislators the folly of employing
cheap help. The secretary of the
senate and the chief clerk of the
house draw $5 per diem each the
assistant doorkeepers of the same
bodies get the same pay. The first
two positions should be filled by men
of character and ability the other two
positions should be abolished. The
clerk and the secretary should be paid
at least $lO a day eachthen good men
ceuld be induced to accept the posi-
tions. and to serve year after year.
They would take pride in their work
and see that everything was well
done. As it is these places are filled
by young fellows who have gained a
sort of cheap notoriety that procures
votes for them and they pay little
attention to what is going on about
them. It is ;time to discard the
extravagance of cheapness for the
economy of effiicency.
The Day w’ill find the whole state
agreeing with its presentation of its
case. It will also find that the next
legislature will do business on very
largely the same grounds as the late
body did. Texas has too large a
majority to reform her methods when
called upen to do so.
