Paris Sept. 9.—Marie Colombier
actress is dead. Years and years ago in
1880 or thereabouts Sara Bernhardt and
Marie Colombier were intimate friends
and when Sara toured the United
States Marie accompanied her. Then
they quarreled the Colombier returned!
to Paris and wrote a book containing
her impressions of the Bernhardt as col-
lected! during her tour ami called it
“Sard Barnum.” Even Paris could not
stand the book the author was arrested
for violation of public morality was t
fined $2OO and sentenced to threej
months in prison. This followed a sen '
national scene participated in by Mme. I
Bernhardt her son Maurice and Jean
Richefin who raided Mlle. Colombier’s
apartments and horsewhipped her. The
book was afterwards seized by the au-
thorities and destroyed and those now
in the hands of collectors are worth
their weight in gold. Later a book was
written in the interest of Mme. Bern-
hardt quite as vile and vicious as the
other which was called ‘‘La Viede
Marie Pigeonnier.”
This happened 30 years ago and Marie
Colombier was then 30 years old.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
M’FADDEN’S FLATS.
A rousing farce comedy not of the
vulgar slap stick order but one with
a plot and merit in dialogue and sit-
uation and that will please all classes
of theatregoers from the most refined
to the gallery god is what “McFad-
den's Row of Flats” is. This is the
comedy that the New York Journal
called the “18 carat” and during its
New York run attracted the most en-
thusiastic audiences seen since the
t days of Harrigan and Hart when
they were giving their series of plays
1 of New York life.
The great reason for the success of
this comedy is that all the characters
are drawn from actual life and in
every city of the country prototypes
of the people represented are to be
seen and are well known to their fel-
lowmen. Alex and George will be eas-
ily recognized as personal friends of
every auditor and the wonder is how
the author eould so analyzse these two
characters to portray their good and
bad qualities so truthfully. You will
laugh at familiar scenes and talk and
a lingering sensation of pleasant mem-

ories will haunt you for days after a
visit to “McFadden’s Flats.” Thb
specialties and musical numbers are
scattered through the action of the
comedy-nud are said to be pleasing to
the eye and ear alike.
The comedy which is well known
is an excellent one full of rich but
harmlees fun and freely interspersed
witji all the latest hits of the day. The
scenery is on a spectacular order and is
carried complete fo< the production.
“McFadden's Flats” will be at the
Grand Saturday night and Bunday

STRONG BILL PROMISED
AT ELECTRIC PARK
Another fine bill is promised at
Electric park this week beginning with
the first show tonight at 8:15. The
latter hour will be observed strictly as
all the acts will come from Houston
arriving this morning. Another good
feature of the early arrival is that it
gives an opportunity for a thorough
rehearsal of the music by the orches-
tra thus assuring a smooth first per-
formance.
While there are but three acts for
the current bill each is a feature and
the shows will last the usual length of
time.
Heading the new bill are the Four
Musical Carfs recognized even on the
“big time” as one of the classiest acts
of the kind in vaudeville. One of the
novelties of this act is a saxaphone
at least seven feet high which is the
largest ever manufactured. The Musi-
cal Cate who blows the big instrument
is said to have a chest expansion like
Brudder Sylvest ’. y
Dan J. Duffy who as might be im-
plied from his name is Irish offers one
of those bright clean story-telling and
singing aets which are always a hit. lie
bills himself as “the IrisJT Lord”
which sort of whets one’s appetite in
anticipation of what he has to say.
Nuegel and Taylor will make good
from the start. They bring one of those
popular comedy acrobatic acts which
go so great here. The novelty is that
half of the team is of feminine persua-
sion. Besides the acrobatic work the
Icourle does some clever singing and
dancing.
NEW BILL AT THE STAR
* LOOKS LIKE A WINNER
Three new acts will make their ini-
Itial bow tj San Antonio audiences to-
day and two of these will be comedy
land one df these two is going to be one
of the biggest screams that has ever
jplayed the Star —viz. Williams and
I Butterworth. They biJi themselves as
I the “Two dancing white folks in Black
(and Brown.” Their pictures as present-
led here show their remarkably clever
makeup. Special drops are used in this
I act. Geis and Mack in comedy songs
and patter is the other comedy act
(while Frederick Miller will hold up the
STRIKE OF LOCAL
MEIAL WORKERS
IS IMMINENT
Number of Employers Refuse
to Accede to Demands
Made of Them.
TIME LIMIT IS MONDAY
If Strike Is Ordered About
Thirty Men Will Be
Affected.
That a strike of about thirty metal
workers affiliated with local union No.
76 of the Amalgamated Sheet Metal
Workers’ International Alliance will
be declared in this city Monday morn-
ing is made practically certain. While
is was not publicly known Saturday
night what shops had refused to sign
an agreement submitted the sheet
metal workers it was dtated on good
authority that no less than twelve had
declined to affix their signatures to the
document. Whether these firms will
sign Monday morning remains to be
seen.
There are about forty tin and metal
shops in San Antonio employing all
the way from one to ten or twelve men.
In the majority of cases however the
smaller establishments are said to con-
sist of the boss and one helper and
not affiliated with the union. The local
union of sheet metal workers has a
membership of thirty-five and with
but few exceptions it is said every man
will be affected.
The wage scale will not form any
part of the anticipated trouble the men
to be affected in the event of a strike
are now being paid the union scale and
in some instances it is said even higher
wages. It is solely a matter of rules
and regulations governing the situation
and an attempt by the members of the
local union to get a signed contract
with the master sheet metal workers
according to the local union. While the
men to be involved should a strike be
declared are paid union wages they say
they have no contract with the bosses
who for some reason will not enter in-
to a signed agreement with them.
The master sheet metal workers de-
clare some of the demands made upon
them are freakish in their nature. The
clause providing that all indebtedness
due the local union shall be collected
by the shop steward through the em-
ployer they say is not within reason
ami that they should not be made a
collective agency. They maintain that
to comply with other provisions would
not be productive and w-ould place a
bar iu the way of many young men
who may want to make a living by
leading the trade. This is disputed by
the local union which contends that the
agreement is a protection both to em-
ploye and employer.

NEW POOR HOUSE
TO BE BOIET BT
BEXAR COUNTY
Site of Present Poor Farm To
Be Sold to the Highest
Bidder.
IT MAY BRING $25000
Who wants a choice real es
tatel
On Saturday. September 24. Bexar
county will sell to the highest bidder
the 18 1-2 acres embraced in what is
now the county poor farm.
Au order to this effect was yesterday
entered by the commissioners court and
County Commissioner Dave A. Meyer
was appointed special commissioner to
conduct the sale.
* With the proceeds from the sale
which is expected to be in the neighbor-
hood of $25000 the county proposes to
erect a poor farin' structure on
the William Meior tract recently bought
for poor farm purposes. A hospital has
already been built on the new location
but the main building will he construct-
ed from the sale money with additions
thereto from the general fund if such
is needed.
On the land comprising the present
poor farm are several buildings none of
them modern however. The trget ex-
tends back to the river and is in every
way suitable for irrigation which can
HAUWDALE
In the spring of this year we placed Harlan-
dale on the market at $6O per lot. At that time
the prospects for a street car line was a little
bit doubtful. We gave' no guarantee whatso-
ever that a street car line would be extended to
Harlandale but offered our lots simply on their
merits being located in a section of San An-
tonio Which was rapidly building up with at-
tractive homes. We had a most phenomenal
sales success which has never been equaled by
any other residence addition in San Antonio.
A number of these $6O lots have since been
resold for $l5O showing it profit of onc hun-
dred and fifty per cent on the original purchase
price in less than four months.
Lots in Harlandale will be SELLING FOR
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOL-
LARS each just as soon as the street car ex-
tension is completed which will be in less
than two months.
Harlandale is located on a high plateau less
than one-half mile from the city limits.
The Corpus Christi and San Juan boule-
vards two of the best macadamized highways
pass the property and lead direcHy into the
center of the shopping district.
We have the best sulphul well in Texas and
our architects are now preparing plans for an
up-to-date and modern bath house.
The immediate future possibilities of a tre-
mendous advance in the values of Harlandale
lots is so absolutely certain that you cannot af-
ford to delay in investigating the property and
if you investigate you will buy.

truck is already raised there but the en-
tire acreage can be put in cultivation.
In 1907 the commissioners court
passtd an order authorizing the sale of
the property but it was never executed.
At that time one real estate firm made
nn offer of $14000 but since then the
value of the land has increned nearly
100 per cent. It is believed that when
Commissioner Meyer auctions off the
land on Saturday September 24 there
will be bidders to carry the figure as
high as $25000. The county reserves
the right to reject any and all bids.
