IN MEMORIAM
Miss Katie McGee Who Died at Her
Home on Sherman Street.
San Antonio Texas Nov. 2 1896
NOT DEAD BUT GONE BEFORE
She Is gone from our midst so fair and
young.
Cut down In the (doom of life
A beautiful child too gentle to stay
'Mid the world’s long bitter strife.
We hear once more her sweet toned
voice
As now past memories we recall;
In fancy see that graceful form
That loved and was beloved by all
But she is dead—An ali-wise God
Who all things for the best ordains:
Took that guileless soul unto Himself
Ere aught of the world could lay Its
cla
She was too good for this vain world.
This place of empty fleeting toys;
In yonder bright celestial home
An angel’s place she now eujoys.
Then let not those tears so freely fall.
And cease those bitter sounds of weep-
log;
When lost forever to us all:
Our Katie dear lies sleeping.
But let the birds’ sweet song arise.
In melodious tones above her.
And waft up to her in the skies
Tne prayers of tnose who love b«r.
A Friend.
HOW TO WARD OFF AN'ATTACK
In speaking of this much dreaded di-
sease Mr. C. M. Dixon of Pleasant
Ridge Pa. said: “I have a little girl
who is troubled frequently during the
winter months with croupy affections.
Whenever the first symptons occur
my wife gives her Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and the result is al-
ways prompt and satisfactory.” This
remedy is used by thousands of moth-
ers throughout the United Statesand
in many foreign countries and always
with perfect success. It is only ne-
cesary to give it freely when the
child become hoarse or as soon as the
croupy cough appears and all symp-
tons of croup will disappear. For
sale at 25 and 50 cerfts per bottle by
all druggists.
A GOLDEN WEDDING
Celebrated Very Happily By Mr. And
Mrs. Heitgen And Their Descen-
dants. In This City.
A memorable event in social circles
the past week was the celebration of
the golden wedding (50th) anniver-
sary of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Heit-
gen which occurred last Tuesday in
the morning at 8:30 o’clock with sol-
emn high mass in St. Joseph’s church
and later in the day and during the
evening at the happy home of the cel-
ebrants corner of Elm and East
Houston streets.
Mr. and Mrs. Heitgen and their
children left the residence in a party
in carriages for the church. In the
party were Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Heit-
gen Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ruhnke Mr.
and Mrs. A. Gittinger. Mrs. J. Weisler
Mr. and Mrs. F. Judand their chil-
dren and Messrs. Chas and Herman
Heitgen.
At the church entrance the party
was met by the clergy and received a
solemn blessing. Preceded by ten
little girls in white who strewed flow-
ers in their path the party moved to
the altar while Prof. Hilger played
a beautiful march. Solemn high
mass was then celebrated by Rev.
Father W. A. Fuhrwerk assisted by
Father H. Pefferkom as deacon anil
Father Audet as sub-deacon. Father
Fuhrwerk also delivered a very able
sermon and presented the happy cou-
ple at the altar. During the service
a beautiful golden censor an offering
from the celebrants was consecrated
to the service of the church. After
the services the entire family ap-
proached the holy table and then took
their way to the residence. The
church was crowde with many
friends including the full membership
of St. Joseph’s society of which Mr.
Heitgen is one of the oldest members
and is one of its original promoters.
At the residence an elegant break-
fast was partaken of by the entire
family and the clergy after which a
continuous reception to friends and
acquaintances was held for the re-
mainder of the day with a splendid
supper in the evening.
Toasts were given and responded
to by the clergy and by Herman Heit-
gen Carl Nentwig Phillip Heitgen
Miss Tillie Ruhnke Adele Weisler
Eddie Jud and others.
Mr. and Mrs. Heitgen Sr. received
hundreds of presents from their chil-
dren and grandchildren and friends
many from a distancea beautiful one
two seashells with the portraits of
Mr. and Mrs. Heitgen (tainted there-
on in oil from A. Zink of Galveston
and a meerschaum pipe from Mr. H.
Schwerdtfeger of Galveston; also
from their children and grandchildren
a gold and silver tea service and a
gold w’atch from Herman Heitgen.
Bouquets of lovely flowers were sent
from hundreds of friends. During
the evening the membership of the
Liederkranz Singing society and the
Heye-Witmer-Small-Menger mandolin
chib gave a beautiful vocal and in-
strumental serenade.
Mr. Heitgen at the age of 76 years
and Mrs. H. at 69 are hale and hear-
ty and hopes were expressed that they
might live to celebrate their diamond
wedding. He helped to build St. Jo-
seph’s church and the parish residence
and theirs was the first golden wed-
ding ever celebrated in this church.
The occasion on Tuesday last was
also celebrated as the anniversary of
Mr. and Mrs. Ruhnke’s wedding and
of the birthdays of Mr. Frank- Jud
and Mrs. A. Gittinger.
SORE. THROAT QUICKLY CURED.
Not long ago in speaking of sore
throat and the difficulty frequently
experienced in curing it Mr. J. E.
Thomas of Uniondale. Pa. told how
he had often cured it in his family.
We give it in his own words: “I
have frequently used Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm in my family for sore
throat and it has effected a speedy
cure in every instance. I would not
think of getting along in my home
without it.” Pain Balm also cures
rheumatism sprains and bruises. For
sale ato 25 and 50 cts. per bottle by all
druggists.

AN bLD TIME CAPTAIN.
The last and oldest captain in
the Mississippi river is now a res-
ident ° f ° ur cit y an(l his name is
Magill. In the ante bellum days
Capt. Magill was connected with
the Vicksburg and Memphis
trade in which he was called or
placed as A No. 1. In the old
days to be a steamboat captain
was to be a king and this means
that every person who was reg
istered as a passenger on board
of the steamboats that ran up the
river from New Orleans to points
above had all the attention that
could be given in hotels of hos
dries of any kind throughout '
the world. Capt. Magill with |
his steamer Atlantic made the
famous race or time to Hard j
Times Linding which was not
beaten by the famous race of the I
Robt. E. Lee and Hatchez when
4hey made the race from New
Orleans to St. Louis in June 1
1870. Capt. Magill loves to talk
about the old times on the Mis-
issippi and the writer of this ar-
ticle feds that some mention
should be made of the old
pioneers of the grand
old river. the father of
waters. There certainly should
lie a tribute of respect to one of
our citizens who has left Louis-
iana and has made • his home in
Texas. Here to live in the inter-
est of his family and like the
writer of this for the purpose of
perpetuating his life. May the
old captain live long and prosper
is the wish of his friend.

' DEATH OF AN OLD RESI
DENT.
Coroner Jones was summoned
to 624 Refugio street yesterday
to hold an inquest on the remains
of Francis Zink. Deceased was
a widow 74 years of age and the
mother of several grown sons
and had lived in San Antonio 45
years. She suffered from drop-
sy and had been ill several weeks
but no physician was attending
her. Deceased was a native of
Poland.
A FUGITIVE CAPTURED.
N. Fleming was arrested yes-
terday afternoon by Officer Her-
rerra on the river bank near City
street as a suspicious character.
He was seen going into a house
on South Flores street when the
residents were away from home
and on some one asking him
what he was doing he ran away.
This aroused suspicion that all
was not right and Officer Herrer-
ra seeing him running gave
chase and captured him.

- COLORED ENTERTAINMENT.
A “slave time” entertainment
. was given at the Mt. Zion Bap-
J tist church (colored) corner San-
» tos and Santa Clara streets last
■ night and was very well attend-
-1 ed and netted a nice little sum
. for the church treasury. The
1 program which was under the
- management of Deacon Will
• Mcßride and assistants was
an excellent one and well render-
ed. It was a representation of
the “nigger” fo’ de wah” and
gave different scenes in the life
of the slaves showing how they
held their celebrations ran a-
way from their masters were
caught and whipped etc. After
the entertainment was finished
an old time slave supper con
sisting of ash cakes hominy
hogs’ heads and coffee was
served. An oyster supper was
also served for those who pre-
ferred something more palatable
than a “slave time” supper.
