A Successful Novelty Performance
and Athletic Exhibition.
Prof. H. Bernau’s benefit drew a
fair sized audience of ladies and gen-
tlemen to the Grand opera house last
night as it was a novelty in the city
and the first time such an entertain-
ment had been attempted great inter-
est was manifested by those present.
The timid public who stayed
were the only losers
and missed a treat. All the
events down on the bill were given
in good time the work was conscien-
• tlous and the degree of proficiency
shown was a compliment it itself to
the instructor and beneficiary.
The entertainment began with the
minor exercises of an athletic school
such as dumb bell and arm practice
striking the leather bag rope skip-
ping etc ets.
Ed. Rhoades and H. A. Webber
tnen gave a pretty sparring set-to
which exhibited the points in the
manly art.
Thos. Phelan next appeared and
showed his proficiency with the In-
dian clubs. While all the movements
were not given he gave a graceful
expose of a great number.
The program was then varied by a
clog dance by Mr. John Green. He
was greatly tried by the very poor
orchestra which seemed very slow in
playing the lively time required but
his’feet did not get taugied by any
means and he was encored.
Coin and Fenner next gave a short
wrestling match two bouts catch-as-
catch-can. Coin won both falls
quickly. He was the heavier of the
two.
Part II of the programme came on
with horizontal bar exercises by
Frank Thorogood Chas. Houston and
the Castro Brothers.
Steve Butler and Col Boyle then
sparred a light weight match two
rounds showing some pretty good
work remarkable for activity pre-
cision and earnestness. They were
loudly applauded and Boyle brought
down the bouse.”
Dryden and Mitchell Ethiopian
song find dance artists engaged at
the Washington theatre lent their
assistance as fun makers for the
evening and after doing a
double song and dance executed a
fine burlesque prize fight which
convulsed the audience.
Al Jack and G. F. Casell gave a
wrestling exhibition of two falls one
eatch-as catch-can the other Greeoo-
Roman. It resulted horse-and-horse.
Rudolph Aue did some splendid
high kicking one kick being nine
feet. Aue is also a good sprinter.
Besides these other exhibitions by
the Castro brothers in tumbling; by
Clark as comedian; the mandolin
and guitar quartette. in two
instrumental pieces were given in
tnrn and the entertainment closed
with a set-to between Prof. Bernau
and Harvey Baer with the gloves.
The fencing match was not given
as Mr. Breeding was too ill to be pre-
sent.
Not Always to Blame.
If a man fills up at a corner grocery
store on beer and rot gut whisky and
then hurrahs from one dive to anoth-
er the variety shows are not to blame
if he gets into a fight or gets knocked
in the head or gets robbed. Some
few of the officers are always too
ready’ to rush to a reporter and say
that the row occurred at such aud
such variety theatre wnen it is after-
wards proved happened a half mile
away. The variety theatres in San
Antonio are well policed and are
pretty strict in en’orctng their rules
against anything like rowdyism. It
does not make any difference whether
a man is a dude or a cowooy. when
he raises a disturbance the officer of
the house generally nabs him and
marches him off to the bat cave.
Variety theatre are not like Ham
Jones’ camp meetings and there is no
rotten egg-throwing or vulgar lan-
guage used on the stage but they are
not to blame for all the rodyism or
fights that occur in the city.

SHORT STOPS
What the People are Saying
The fact that ail the constitutional
amendments carried proves that the
people are indifferent unless individ-
ual rights are disturbed.
• * •
The local option met with less opo-
sitlou than the judiciary because it
disturbed the office holders in a less
degree. If the effect of putting local
option in the constitution limits the
submission of the prohibition ques-
tion to localities it is a step in the
right direction and takes the agita-
tion out of state politics. The prohi-
bition party will figure very small
hereafter.
♦ * •
Our city attorney has informed the
people that he didn’t think it neces-
sary to ask the permission of the
council for a leave of absence; sup-
pose other city officials actei on the
same principle how long would it be
betore our city affairs were left in a
state of chaos.
The people are delighted to know
that the young man has spent a de-
lightful month under a light ever
coat while they have been toiling and
sweating to pay their taxes out of
which is to come his month’s salary.
The people bear the heat and burden
of the day—while their trusted ser-
vants enjoy trips to New York and
Paree.
* * ♦
The Express sounds the tocsin of
alarm because the city council has
passed a t ordinance forbidding the 1
street railroad companies from over-
working their employees denouncing
it as paternalism. We have an ordi-
nance against cruelty to animals;
man is an animal; what right has a
street ear company to overwork a
man any more than a mule ?
Mayor Callaghan has telegraphed
that he will be home in a few days.
The interviewer of the Express
should supply himself with a couple
of good fabers because he will have a
long story to tell; it will embrace a
tour through the United States atrip
across the ocean; a tour through
France with all the interesting de-
tails; enough for a book.
• * •
The city attorney has returned and
told his story the mayor aud Aider-
man Connor are still to hear from.
When the swallows are all home
again we may expect a revival in
city business and a proposition to
borrow more money. It has been a
hot dull summer for the people—a
returning city official is refreshing.
♦ * *
The people have formed some
strong convictions in legard to the
extravagance recklessness and lack
of consideration for the public inter-
ests shown by the present city gov-
ernment. A public office is a public
trust and not a private snap. A
mayor or city attorney can't run all
over the world and draw a salary out
of the people’s pockets to pay for his
run.

MOTHERS GOODNIGHT KISS.
Affectionately dedicated to Mrs. John
’ Kyder-Tuylor. Wimbledon England.
Of all the scenes of childhood's days.
That I remember well.
One comes with seraphic pleasure
That words can barely tell.
In it I see my mother's face
Illumed by matron's bliss
As then she stood beside my bed
And gave her good-night kiss.
Years pass and seas divide us
In other lands I roam.
Yet in fancy I can picture
That quaint old childhood’s home.
I see again that dear old face.
That never came amiss
I feel her hands upon my brow
And get that good-night kiss.
When Life’s long day comes to its close
Passing to endless night.
Ere I go by that deathly sleep.
To realms that souls delight;
I want to see my mother's face
To feel my childhood’s bliss.
And as a child to fall asleep
With mother's good-night kiss.
Henry Ryder-Taylor.
