NOT ALL TO BLAME.
There are Other Gilded Palaces
That Caught Madarasz.
To the San Antonio Light:
I don’t think it Is justice for one
man to bear the blame when there
is a dozen others in the same boat.
Your article in the Light of May
2d would naturally lead its read-
ers to believe that if it had not been
for me and my place that Mr.
Madarasz would still have been in
San Antonio and holding his place
as bookkeeper at the Saa Antonio
National bank. Now I think you
have placed me before your read-
ers in a wrong position. I have
known Mr. Madarasz a little over
a year and I am confident that he
was wrecked long before this time.
Why Mr. Editor there is quite a
numberof places in San Antonio
where gentlemen go to have a
social time and give their money
to the management of the
social club just in or-
der to hear the “kitty” laugh.
My place is no worse than the best I
social club in San Antonio where |
there is poker played and I expect
I have wrecked as few lives and
fortunes as any one who has ever
conducted a private club room.
“If I do play high” my Kitty sel-
dom gets beyond a sickly smile.
You must be aware that ‘*every-
thtng that glitters is not gold”
and especially at the present time
when so many gentlemen are try-
ing to make a living without work-
ing very hard for it and still pose
as gentlemen. I am no worse than
the best of them. If I had any ad-
vice to give to men that didn’t
want their fortunes and minds
wrecked it would be to keep away
from private club rooms. It is bet-
ter to go straight in at the front
door and let back doors alone.

Marseilles Harbor.
This point enjoys the important
position of being the first seaport
of France. Its developement is of
recent date have been commenced
In 1844 till that period the natur-
al shelter of the old Harbor had
been alone utilized.
Today artificial methods of pro-
tection have raised a total shelter-
ed area of the Harbor to 318 acres.
Before the adoption of the outer
Breakwater in 1844 the artificial
quarys at this point protected 67
acres.
The growth of the port has been
rapid in the last 35 years. Its ac-
commodation for vessels has been
quadrupled in the last 36 years
being twice that of Havre and only
inferior to London and Liverpool
among the British Ports.
In 1882 8568 vessels utilized the
artificial basin the total weight of
exports and imports of that year
being 4470000 tons. The above
figures give a fair idea of what has
been accomplished by an artificial
Harbor at Marseilles.
When ever the people of Texas
adopt the outer Harbor plan they
will attract to our Texas Coast the
class of shipping and commerce
that today utilizes artificial ports
at Marseilles Aberdeen Aldermy
Joliette Lazaret Arauc Basins
Algeirs Boulogue Cera Port Said
Colombo Celon Dover Wicke
and more than a score of other
places where the citizens have
constructed artificial ports.
A Sad Case
Mr. J. L. Crowley the Medina
county farmer who was injured in
a street car accident on the San
Antonio company’s line recently
and is now in the hospital here un-
able to move has received the sad
news of the death of his wife in
Medina county. His errand to this
city when injured was to summon
a physician to her bedside.

—Give it up.
Henry Umscheid is all excite-
ment with the anticipation of get-
ting a tax roll in his hands.
Patronize live men. See their
“ads” in the Sunday Light.
During dull times the people
have more time to kick.
The Sunday Light is “getting
there although slowly.
Free silver talk is getting fash-
ionable.
Will the lowest bidder get the
garbage’contract?
Pay days like angel visits to the
City hall are few and far between.
Is the fair scheme dead; can any-
body answer?
Mayor Elmendorf has been look-
ing very mysterious lately—he is
getting up his speech of welcome
to the T. P. A.
San Antonio will capture New
Braunfeits with Carl Beck’s band
today.
Section 34 of the City charter is
not a dead letter. Is it Brother
Minor?
Prof. Beck’s “little German band”
is marching on. The Prof is a live
man for the town.
Today our sister town New
Braunfels celebrates forefathers’
day.
Alderman Hoefling offers the
city his fine gravel bed free but he
don’t propose to pay the freight.
Mayor Elmendorf ought to get
mad a little and stir up the me-
nagerie.
The Charity Circus deserves suc-
cess for the sake of the cause of
charity.
The general sentiment is in favor
of a vigorous prosecution of the
sewer work and against the injunc-
tion business.
Family nepotism seems to be
prevalent in the city hall. It’s
about as objectionable as any other
variety.
The ordinances governing sewers
seem a little previous—there will
be plenty of time to amend them
before the sewers are ready for use.
The T. P. A. convention is less
than a month off. Our people should
get their houses in order to enter-
tain the strangers.
The home material men should
get a move on themselves. The
people are getting tired of the de-
lay in the work on the sewers.
The Republican party is growing
in Texas—it is a silent growth but
like the forest it grows while the
rest of the parties are sleeping.
The report that the present city
administration had given orders to
enter the premises after unlicensed
doge is only an anti-canard. The
city Is not quite so hard up yet.
Mr. Schacklett was willing to
loan his menagirie to the Charity
Circus if the man who will bag the
receipts will pay him and then he
will give the money to the
orphans.
If an office created by ordinance
cannot be abolished by a simple
resolution how can an employ-
ment be created by resolution that
the charter requires shall be done
by ordinance. See Brand.

To Lover of Dogs.
Now as the time is near for the
dog catchers to commence June
all the true lo’era of dogs
go to the city collector and pays
for a license and the cur breeder
commences to make preparations
to keep his curs up in the back
yards until the dog catchers get
through with their work.
Now when last year that the
dog catchers were out for the city
they were very good at laying
around the homes of good dogs to
see if they could rope them in.
This is well known to the own-
ers of good dogs in this city
and if you went across to the
Mexican quarter of the city you
could see each and every Mexican
with 5 or 6 worthless curs run-
ning at largo without being taxes
although I am very glad to state
that after the dog catchers had
been out last year they were able
to kill 722 dogs not taxed and
the collector’s reprot shows 2516
Dogs that license had been paid
for. Now although there have
been 722 killed for not having
license there are still I believe
1500 dogs that have been kept up
while the dog catchers were go-
ing their rounds .and after they
stopped hunting' fox unlicensed
Dogs the streets were - Jlnpded
again with a lot of worthless careC
Although I am a lover of pure
bred dogs and handle the cur a
little rough it is not because I
don’t like him but I have no use
for a cur unless ho is of some
special good to his master.
I think the number killed has
done good toword keeping the city
rid of some good for nothing dogs
and I am In favor next yeae of
making the dog tax one $lOO or
$150 per dog Instead of 50?
year. If a good dog is worth hav-
ing it is nearly worth that amount
to protect it from going to the dog
pound. When the tax is 50?
those who keep curs say to them-
selves “well the dog catcher has
got Topsy poor thing; I guess I’ll
pay 50« rather than see poor Top-
sy killed.” Now very true It
saved the life of one of my best
friends but still Topsy is a cur and
let her go to the pound. There
will always be curs but there is
a thing as keeping them in less
numbers and that is my reason
for making the taxes $150 as they
who keep curs would not care to
pay that amount for a cur unless
he was good for some special pur-
pose but let him be ever so good
you can always geta pure blooded
dog to do what ever a cur can do
and very often more and he does it
better and looks - better and to fin-
ish up he is a setter or a pointer
or some other well known breed
that you would fancy.
