NATURAL FAT.
Getting Fat is Only a Question of Eating
Proper Food-
Thin people who want to get fat should
eat proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with thin people is
that the suffer from indigestion.
They don’t digest their food. They don’t
get enough nourishment. They are slow-
ly being starved. They are poisoned by
the products of fermented and putrid
food.

•* THE BOY BRIGADIER."
General Gordon the Distinguished Con-
federate Arrived This Morning-
San Antonio had one of the most
distinguished soldiers of the late
civil war as a guest today in the
person of Gen. Jolin B. Gordon of
Georgia who arrived over the
Southern Pacific from New
Orleans this morning. He is on
his way to Mexico and leaves this
afternoon. He is accompanied by
his wife and son Hugh H. Gordon.
At New Orleans Gen. Gordon was
met by Gen. Moorman who want-
ed him to remain a few hours but
he preferred to spend the time Jn
San Antonio of which city he said
he has heard so much but had
never yet visited.
General Moorman immediately
telegraphed Gen W. H. Young of
Gen Gordon’s coming and prepa-
rations wore a; once made to re-
ceive him. When the distinguished
Confederate general arrived this
morning he w’as surprised to be
met at the depot by a committee
as he intended to drop in here very
quietly and surprise the “boys.”
The committee consisted of Col.
J. C. (•‘Locomotive”) Carr Capt. D.
M. Poor Capt. Hart Mussey W.
T. Merriwether Dr. Spring Dr.
Largen Capt. W. W. Sloan Capt.
Alexander and Prof. Magruder.
General Gordon and family were
escorted to the Menger hotelwhere
he was introduced to a reporter
for the Light. General Gordon is
63 years of age of soldierly bear-
ing and as straight as an arrow.
He is a member of the United
States senate this being his third
term. He has served two terms as
governor of Georgia and has never
been defeated for any office he ever
ran for. He says be will retire
from politics after his present term
expires. General Gordon entered
the army as captain and was in
command of one wing of General
Lee’s entire army. He was pro-
moted from post to post and Gen-
eral Lee always referred to him as
the “boy brigadier.” At the close
of the war he was 33 years of age
and held the rank as major-gen-
eral. He built the Georgia and
Pacific railroad about ten years
ago.
A carriage ride over the city was
given General Gordon and family
by the local committee this morn-
ing. His trip to Mexico will be
partly on business and pleasure
but he did not wish to discuss the
business part of it.
An effort was made to have him
remain tonight and deliver a lec-
ture. He will be urged to stop
over on his return home and de-
liver one of his famous lectures be-
fore he leaves San Antonio and he
has partly promised to do so.
Musical Officers.
The San Antonio Musical Union
held the annual election of officers
last night resulting as follows:
President Nic. Loveece; vice-
president John Maxwell; secre-
tary Ben. Newman; treasurer
Louis Ecknarf.
Strike On the Sewers
The bricklayers except one en-
gaged on the outfall sewer work
went on a strike yesterday on ac-
count as they claim of a non-
union man being employed on the
work. He was a Mexican. The
men four in number are yet on
strike and only the one man is
at work.
Bicycle Tourist Returned.
Mr. Sam Lawyer who in com-
pany with Harry Hale started on
a bicycle tour to the City of Mex-
ico some months ago returned to
the city Monday night by rail.
They rode leisurely to their jour-
ney’s end being on the road about
a month. Hale is is in the City of
Mexico and will probably go into
the repairing business. W. H.
Smith formerly of the Cycling
works of this city is also there in
the wheel trade.
Returned From New Orleans.
City Attorney R. B. Minor has
returned from New Orleans where
be has been arguing the sewer
case before the United States Cir-
cuit court.
The case was argued and sub-
mitted to the court on Monday
and Tuesday is opinion day with
the court but the time for advise-
ment was so short that the opinion
will not be delivered until next
Tuesday. Mr. Minor is very hope-
ful and stated to a Light reporter
that he thinks he has every reason
to believe that the decision will be
favorable.
—Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Jones
tendered a reception to a number
of friends at their home on North
street last night.

South Fiores street reports a $3OO
mare stolen from his stable Mon-
day night.

Mrs. Colonel Ropes Dead-
Col. E. H. Ropes well known
as the promoter of deep water en-
terprise on the coast was sum-
moned to the east last night by a
telegram announcing the sudden
death of his wife which occurred
at her home in Jersey City. Mrs.
Ropes had been an invalid for six
years but no fears of her death
were entertained. The telegram
announced that she died of apo-
plexy. She was a woman of fine
culture and the Idol of a large cir-
cle of acquaintances. Her two
sons grown and an only daughter
14 years of age were with her at
the time of her death. No further
information has been received.
The Light offers Its sincerest con-
dolence with Colonel Ropes in his

affectionate nature the blow falls
crushingly.
