Going to Church in Mexico.
One class of Mexican buildings
there is whereof save only at night
the doora never are closed —the
churches. From dawn until darkness
comes again the church doors stand
open and whoever will may enter to
seek solace in prayer. Though less
than in the period preceding the pass-
age of the laws of reform—which
swept away at a single blow the
priestly rule that undermined the
civil power—the church is an active
part of Mexican daily life. Going to
church is not an office fixed for a
small part of a single day in the week
and celebrated only in garments of
price; every day and all day long
there Is a constant flow and ebb ot
humanity through the friendly open
doors to and from the friendly shelter
from the sorrows of the world.
the veiy early morning working
people—eargadotee and aguadores
and eucn like humble folk—surrender
a tew minutes ot their working
time that they may begin their
day with prayer. A little later
come the house servants on their
way home from market bringing
their market baskets with them and
usually having in their wake a little
dog whose decorous gravity sug-
gests the possioility that in these
early devotions he also has a share.
AtBo’elo<K the mass is celebrated
when the women of the upper classes
—the men are conspicuous by their
absence—throng the churches; and
thereafter Leing clad in black and
wearing lace mantillas add greatly
to the picturesqueness of the streets
as they go homewards.
Then comes the vendors of milk
and vegetables and poultry and wo< d
and charcoal and other household
supplies—country people who wish to
make their sacrifice to prayer before
daring forth from the city and who
if they have had luck in their sma.l
cheatings may be dispos d also to
thanksgiving. Even on a Sunday—-
the only day that he would be sure of
finding the doors open—a charcoal
seller would not be encouraged to
hitch his donkey to lamp post in front
of a fashisnaMe church in New York
and thereafter to enter the church
and say his prayers. Quite the con-
trary.—Harper’s Weekly.
ELECTRIC SPARKS.
Foreign electricians are beginning
to look to aluminum as the metal
best adapted to the manufacture of
electric mains.
San D imingo is to have an electric
light the government having grant-
ed an exclusive franchise to a com-
panyfor a ten years.
An Edinburgh man is said to have
invented an ingenious electromagnet
gas controller which will automat-
ically turn up the gas when the
electric light is turned off and in case
the electric light is turned on again
the gas will al once be lowered
A telephone line between London
and Manchester a distance of 206
miles is about to be opened to the
public. It has been found possible by
this remarkably long line tor the res-
idents in one of the places to enjoy
musical performances which are go-
ing on in the other city.
It has been shown that the incand-
escent electric light does not “smoke”
the ceiling as has been claimed but
that the smoky effect is due to dust
The heated lamp causes a current of
heated air to rise and the consequence
is there is more dust deposited above
the lamp than anywhere else.
The st irageV.battery: will unques-
tionable come* into general use for
lighting in the near future and it has
already found a place in the plant of
many electric light stations. As a
reserve when machinery is at rest as
regulators when running it it In-
sures that the consumer is never left
in the dark and in cases of break-
downs in machinery it Is indlspen-
sible.

Grand View Addition I
JT IS NOW ON THE MARKET - ITS LOCATION
Grand View addition is situated about two and one-fourth miles Southeast or the
Postoffice which Is new the center of population of the city. It covers a range of high hills
about two hundred feet above the surrounding country tonsequency the dra t sge ie away
from it on all sides.
LINES CORNERS AND SUBDIVISION’S.—This fine property whs originally survey-
ed in 1F45 by Joseph A. Tivy and the corners actually established upon the ground with wit-
ness trees 10 each oneand the bourary lines nearly marked aid all of which are clear
identified now; tberetore there is absolutely no rosibiity of changes in lines made by ev
new surveyor who may survey there tn the future. This Subdivision has been made and
carefully surveyed by W M. Lock. county surveyor and John D. Bulltnann surveyor and
dreughtsu an. The corners ot all the blocks are established and all striets ate mont men
The streets all run east and wist and north and ecuth and the avenues ere laid out and fit
the contour ot the hilis James avenue connecting East l.nd Additltn with South Height!
and Park Terrac • additions. Each block is so situated as to get the bent fit of the fine view
as well as the prevailing southeast wind.
ADVANTAGES.—On many of these hills fine building stone (the same as that in tne
walls of the Missions and Ammo) crop out and chu be cut and quarried with pick axes in
blocks of suitable sizes for building. This reck hardens as soon as exposed to the atmos-
phere. and can bo laid in the walls of houses at a cost of ONE-TENTH the price of brick and
is much better building material. The quarry croppings areonlj on ceitain hills confined to
themselves while the soil n the others cannot be surpassed any where in the country being
a sandj- chocolate loam w hicb during rainy weather does not become muddy hence we have
fine hard ground in Grand View during the most inclement weather. Being SOUTH-EAST
of the city on high h.lls overlooktig the city and surrounding country a person hardly
needs reflect upon the great ad vantages th is subdivision has overotht r portons ofthecity;
being the first rdge of hills between San Antonio and the Gulf the prevailing south-east
breeze from the gulf which blows for nine motbeof the year has no inteirupticn until it
reaches this propertv: and after passing over it passes on through the cemetary thence
through the citv to the north-west. People coming two or three ttousand miles for fresh
pure sir. should see that they get it before others have used it The prevailing south-east
breeze carries al) the smoke dust impurities and malaria in directly the opposite direction
from this propertv. Upon the highest hills fine wells; of pure water can be bsu at a depth
of thirty-five feet’ and as the drainage is away ficm them on all sides no seepage can con
taminate the water. Being situated tietween East F.nd on the north and South Heights on
th west the development of any of these tine subdi' isions will assist to build up the others
1 ec ric cars are now running through South Heights to within a fourth of a mile of Grand
\ ew on the west while the projected car lite through East End will run to within a quarter
ot •» mile of Grand View on the north and the projected car line of the Park Terrace Com-
pany will be but a short distance fn m Grand View on the south-west. Immediately to the
east about one mile and upon the property of the owners of Grand View Addition are the
beautiful picnic grounds known as Lees' Bend on the Salado where is now situated the finest
Jake In Bexar County surrounded by one of the finest forests of Giant Mossy Oaks Elms
Hackberrj JWa nut. Pecan and ether trees to be found in the state. This beautiful lake
is fed from numerous springs and has the Salado creek coursing at ail times through It.
Askany of the n.mrods.school children and o d timers w here Lee s t rid ai d picnic grounds
are and you will find out at once that it is only three and one half miles a little south of east
from the Postoffice The streets in this addition are all sixty feet wide the avenues eighty
feet wide ard there are no lots less than fifty leet front by a depth ot one hundred and 60 feet
TITLES.—This Grant was made by the State of Texas in 1846 to George W. Paschal and
in 1847 sold by him to Gidoon Lee. and in 1800 by Lee sold to the present owners which show
a simple clear and perfect claim of title. Full warranty deeds: iven to purchasers.
PRICES.—The prices of these lots at the start will be from fifty lo one hundred and
fifty dollars each with right of owners to change the price at any time.
TERMS.—The terms will be one-third cash the balance in one and two years with eight
per cent interest on deferred payments.
