HO DEATHS.
“Sunset” Tracy and George Nor-
ton Gone Forever.
S. S. Tracy familiarly known as
“Sunset” Tracy a popular freight
conductor on the Southern Pacific
died this morning at 3:30 o’clock
at No. 1217 North Olive street. He
had been ill with typhoid fever for
several weeks. He was a member
of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors and leaves a wife and family.
George Norton a popular young
fireman on the Southern Pacific
died early yesterday morning.
Thursday evening he was healthy
and in good spirits when he came
in from his run. He took supper
with his brother Julius Norton at
No. 316 Milam street that evening
and ate heartily. A few minutes
later he began to complain and
was soon violently ill. Con-
gestion of the brain set in and
he suffered until 1:30 o’clock yes-
terday morning. He was but 23
years of age and was about to be
promoted to engineer. He was in
the service of the road for several
years and was a popular member
of the Order of Locomotive Fire-
men. He was not married. The
funeral took place this afternoon
and was largely attended.
Appointment for Mr. Hoskins.
A Light reporter learned last
night from a reliable source that
W. S. Hoskins formerly vice-
president and general manager of
the Macaroni division of the
Southern Pacific is to be appoint-
ed assistant to Manager W. G.
Van Vleck with headquarters at
Housten. Messrs. Van Vleck and
Hoskins will leave for the north
shortly.
Ohas. A Gardner.
One of the most important of
Manager Walker’s early bookings
is the engagement of that sweet
singer Charles A. Gardner in his
latest success “The Prize Winner”
a comely story of the Austrian
Tyrol. It is from the pen of James
R. Garey who has seized the pic-
turesque traits of this graphic
country producing a sterling play
of the hearth abounding in heart
interest striking dramatic situa-
tions replete with sparkling com-
edy sufficient to rob It of any som-
berness. The play is of uncommon
freshness like a wind from the
mighty Tyrolean mountains. The
piece is superbly staged each act
with special scenery. Even in this
day of sensational threatrical
mechanism the avalanche scene
in the third act of “The Prize Win-
ner” is worthy of more than pass-
ing note. Mr. Gardner will sing
several of these songs which he
has made famous—“ Apple Blos-
soms” “Gesundhelt” “The Turn-
er’s Triumph” “The German
Flower Girl” “A Butterfly Song”
and “Wedding Bells.”
—The wedding of Mr. Vicente
Cantu and Miss Clara O’Farrell
has been set for January 23rd.
A LOSS OF $80000000.
Labor saving inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workingmen's
bn ad out of their mouths. Although ex-
perience has shown the fallacy of that
theory the feeling or fear was natural.
1 But It is not so much the lack of work
as the inability to work that causes oov-
erty and suffer.ng. Io England and Wales
every workingman averages ten days of
sickness every year with a total loss of
wages for all of about $S0(X)0000 pur year.
In this country the loss is much greater.
In all countries the prevailing disease is
Indigestion and dyspepsia and its c.xi-
sequences—such as rheumatism and other
ailments resulting from impure blood; a
result of dyspepsia.
No thorough rapid and trustworthy
cure for this universal and obstinate
malady existed until the Mt. Lebanon
(N. Y.) Community of Shakers placed
upon the market their now famous reme-
dy called the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
It is prepared from roots and herbs culti-
vated solely by them. Nothing more cer-
tain safe and palatable can be Imagined.
It expels the impurities from the body by
meins of the bowels kidneysand skin.
I and imparts vigor and tone to the
' stomach—upon whose proper action all
our strength activity and endurance de-
pends. For many years the Shakers have
given earnest attention to this subject
and their final success is thankfully ad-
mitted by the multitudes who have been
cured by the Cordial after all other means
have failed. Their high reputation for
skill as herbalists for honesty and re-
ligious sincerity guarantees whatever
they recommend.
No Invention can ever take your work
from you if you are able to work. Health
and strength are the vital considerations.

James A. Barry Observer.
Beautiful “Fantasma.”
The children’s wonder and de-
light beautiful bewildering “Fan-
tasma” has returned to San An-
tonio and was seen at the
Grand Opera house last night by a
large audience though all present
were not children by any means.
Hanlon Bros have made their
production greater than ever more
entertaining and full of new and
beautiful scenery and the most
marvellous stage effects and me-
chanical devices; every part of the
stage scenery seems to be alive
and working and the eye is kept
busy in catching the quick changes
always producing the most comi-
cal and grotesque effects.
The company carries a large
corps of skilled mechanics carpen-
ters electricians and calcium light
operators with two carloads of
scenery and arriving as they did
yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock it
was something of a feat to put the
semery in place by the rise of the
curtain.
The work of George H. Adams
as Pico the clown who has more
fun and trouble than anybody else
was as good as in former years
while Fantasma was well taken by
Miss Nettle Black. She has a clear
delivery and spoke her easy lines
well.
The specialists are the McDon-
ough Bros who performed a won-
derful feat in forming a human
ladder Miss Nettie Black prima
donna soprano and Orie Gerard
the boy soprano (or alto.) The
solo and echo with the duets be-
tween these two was one of the
hits of the evening.
Miss Gertrude Lamar executed
a clever Spanish dance and dances
were given in concert by many
members of the company in cos-
tume.
The transformation scenes were
exactly arranged and the allegories
at the close of the entertainment
were new and exquisitely beauti-
ful.
Mr. Edward Hanlon of the firm
is with the company as general
manager.
Changed the Brick.
In the big sewer siphon manhole
at Mill bridge the contractors are
now using the Kampmann Cham-
bers process brick instead of the
Monterey mixture of lime and
clay. This sudden change was
brought about rather suddenly
yesterday when Consulting Engin-
eer Gray came along on his inspec-
tion tour and found a plie of Mon-
terey brick with great particles of
lime showing in their composition.
The brick with any quantity of
lime in them are worthless where
any moisture can reach them as
the lime will certainly slack and
slacking burst the brick.

speaking of the various ailments
of children said: “When my chil-
dren have croup there is only one
patent medicine that I ever use

Remedy. It possesses some medi-
cal properties that relieve the little
sufferers Immediately. It is in
mo opinion the best cough medi-
cine in the market.” If this reme-
dy is freely given as soon as the
croupy cough appears It will pre-
vent the attack. It is also an Ideal

la no danger in giving it to chil-
dren as It contains nothing injuri-
ous. For sale by F. Kalteyer Chas.

THE BARNETT CASE.
A Nice Point that waa Settled by
an Acquittal.
Deputy United States Marshal
Leßlanc was wired on last Satur-
day by the United States marshal
at San Antonio Texas to arrest
and send Eugene Barnett of rail-
road ticket fame there instanter.
The marshal could not comply
with the order received because it
would have been a violation of the
law. Before a prisoner can be re-
moved from one district to another
he must first be arraigned before
the United States commissioner
where arrested and placed under
appearance bond. So far this
was done in the case of Barnett.
But when the warrant was sent
here from the courts at San An-
tonio for his arrest the day of
trial by an omission of the court
clerk was left out. and consequent-
ly the bond given by him did not
state any specific time when he
would have to appear for trial at
San Antonio. Before he could
now be removed from this district
it would be necessary to secure an
order of removal from the United
States Circuit Judge presiding in
this district.
However since the receipt of the
above telegram Walter Barnett
a brother of Eugene Barnett has
been tried at tian Antonio on
similar charges for which Eugene
was wanted to answer to and
acquitted. Consequently the mar-
shal of San Antonio wired the
United States marshal here last
evening that he was no longer
needed and not to make the arrest.
