Board Got Together Yesterday and Af-
ter (ioing Over the Budgets for
the Year Decided 40 Cents
Would Suffice
The county tax rate for the ensuing
fiscal year is 40 cents on the $100 valua-
tion, IP/6 cents less than the lWi rate.
This ratc^was agreed upon at a meet-
ing of the County Commissioners in th:*
officc of County Auditor Wiggins yes-
terday, an.] will be formally affirmed by
the Commissioners' Coijrt, probably
Monday or Tuesday. The rate of 40 cent*
■will not be a disappointment to the t;• x
payers of Bexar County, as they will in
the long run pay no more than they dil
lust year.
The Commissioners have been cxceecl-
Ir.gly busy the last few days determining
this rate. Alter taking all the valua-
tions, figuring the cost of county ex-
penses and the amount necessary to
maintain a. sinking fund* a budget was
tm:de out and then ilie tax rate cstf
mated. Forty cents was agreed upon an I
is row to be ratified and regularly en-
tered in the court records this week.
Practically the only increase mi 1 lie
bi.dget. wiilch was the authority for the
rate of 40 cents, is the road and bridge
tax, and better and more roads will be
the result.
The budget of rating compared with
last year clearly demonstrates tl.. rn.m-
rer in which 40 tents on the Sine w .s
rkcided upon. As it will be iinall> acted
Ll-Oil, the budget is a.s follow?-:

Total $0.40 $0,643
The Commissioners also agi o d upon a
tudget of appropriations for the expenses
of Bexar County for the next twelve
months, beginning Aug 1. The total
amount to be taken from the general
fund for vhis purpose is $1P\<hji'. In t'os
expense account will be included the
C6urt House repairs and additional of 1 i< e
furniture costing $15,500 The appropria-
tion transferred to the convict camp is
$i:\ooo.
Read Appropriations.
The budget shows that $6000 was se t
aside for bridges; $13,000 apportioned t-»
Piec-inct No. 1; $15,000 to Precinct No. 'J;
$17,000 to Precinct No. 3, and $13,000 to
Piecinct No. 4.
The total appropriated fur the im-
provement of the roads of Bexar County
for one year's time reaches th« sum of
$81,000. This exceeds the general x-
penses altogether of the county, outsi le
of this item. And this is directly iti the
face of the fact that the county taxes
liave been reduced 14Va cents net.
The automatic State Tax Board has
not yet fixed the State tax, and will
probably not do so until Aug 15. From
splendid authority it is le trued that tin r •
i* bound to be a reduction of at least
11-3 cents in State tax thi9 year. It
cannot possibly be over 36 2-3 cents, the
limit prescribed by the Texas legislature.
Well founded hopes are entertained for
a neat reduction, however.
The San Antonio city rate will not be
fixed for some five months or more.

All telegraph operators of th* Postal
Telegraph Company and the Western
Union Telegraph Company In this city
have walked out on a strike and, ns a
consequence, telegraph c< inmunication is
almost impossible, only the managers and
chief operators working in the offices.
The union men say that they do not
apprehend any trouble, for they do not
think that their plac°s will be filled with
non-union men.
G W. Alien, State manager for the
American De Forest Wireless Telegraph
Company, issued orders yesterday for
the operators of this company not to
receive any messages. Just a short while
after these orders were issued scores of
messages poured Into the wireless officc,
but the operator would not receive them.
It is believed that this action was
taken by the wir less telegraph company
because they do not wish to try to com-
pete with the Western Union Telegraph
Company while the Western Union is
helpless. Although this is equivalent
to a strike, yet it is not believed to be
)"•<• itis«- of sympathy with the Commer-
cial Telegraphers Union.
It was stilted by ofii ers of ti c oper-
ators last night that the Order of Rail-
way ^Telegraphers will not be asked t»
go ont on a .'-ympathet i/ strike unless it is
absolutely necessary, and tliey say that
lis yet it is not necessary i<» usk the
railroad telegraphers to strike.
Crowds Gathered Around.
Crowds .»;* striking telegraph operators
gathered in front of the postal and West-
ern Union Telegraph Companies' <.|fie«s
last night. When .piestioned the operat-
ors said that they were ii. such a habit
of gathering in fron* of the of I ice they
could not j-'-'t away. They said that they
do not think the nianagTs are going t<»
put en non-union men. but in case they
do then the union operators will take
steps to get them out.
As a result of the telegraphers" strike
news dispatches from over tic State!
have practically ceased and it is next
to impossible to get a message sent, only j
the chit f >perat. )!*s and managers being
allowed to work. Although nothing
definite to the effect has been declared
the local operators apj ear to expect a
settlement of the strike within two
Wet ks.
Weie it not for the fact that the As-
sociated Press had sent cheeks to its
operators in-hidlng k.si night's work
the strike \v< uld have affected that great
news gathering agency. As it was a
number of the operators on the Asso-
ciated Press circuits wanted to quit their
keys last night an I return to th" com-
pany the salary for a night's work. Af-
ter some discussion on the wire th"
operators decided they would work
through the night
It is very probable. however, that the
Assoch ted Press men will rcfum to work
to i ii gh i unless some settlement is ef-
fected t< >.

Sign Very Small, but Means a Whole
Lot.
A business sign, insignificant at first,
but finally a little amusing, hangs con-
spicuously in front of a distinguished
looking buff and gray building on Com-
merce Street. The wording of this brief
intelligencer would remind one of tns
"removal'' signs in a wayside village,
which might read: "This here stoare has
been moved on tot her sid< of the post-
office, right next to old Si Hick's grocery
fctoare."
But the sign on Commerce Street means
much mor • than the first glance at it be-
trays. it is that of one of the large a
life insurance companies in the country
cno of the great, not near great, which
did a magnificent business in Texas be-
fore the passag«- of the Robertson insur-
ance law requiring foreign insurance com-
panies to invest 7") per cent ot their re-
bc rve fund in Texas securities.
This sign is a removal notice also, but
iv doesn't say "two doors south of the
pcstoffice." nor even two blocks, but in
richly colored, artistic lettering, appears:
"Removed to 111 Camp Street, New Or-
leans."

The city tavern may justly be regarded
as the parent of all the future hostelries
of the land. J distinguished visitors as a
rule prefer hotel life to every other kind
of life. They have been often blamed
for this, yet the system has decided ad-
vantages for a lixed, and on tlie whole
rather moderate outlay. A person, in the
economy of our hotel system, enjoys all
the comforts of a first-class home, and
more, without being exposed to the many
unpleasantnesses, the taxes, trials and
other inconveniences which tlie keeping
of a house necessarily entails.
However that may be. Americans have
quite as much right to be proud of pala-
tial hotels as Europeans have to be of
their National palaces. They have be-
come great National institutions in wiilch
luxury, magnificence and comfort have
entered into friendly competition. Only
the fortunes of our very rich could rear
such magnificent structures, and why
should not. the spirit that initiated it be
given its due meed of praise? m Europe
a millionaire will delight to astonish his
contemporaries by the splendors of a pri-
vate castle, by the sumptuous luxury of
his own personal residence. if the weal-
thy of America have, on the contrary,
devoted their surplus riches to the build-
ing of fine hotels that are as useful to
the public as they are imposing in ap-
pearance, who will venture to say that
Uiey have not adopted the more patriot-
ic course? The establishments maintain
and inspire commercial activity and give
•subsistence to hundreds of employes.
Hotels of Augustus.
The magnificent hotels built during the
reign of Augustus and his successors
were not due to private enterprise, nor
were they the result of mighty syndicate
combinations. They were creeled by the
Emperors themselves at intervals of a
day's journey upon those broad, solid
orads, whose numerous remains still as-
tonish mankind by the skill displayed in
their engineering. These roads united
the sovereign cities of the world with
the remotest point of its dominion, and
in the grand imperial line that rose up
here and there along them the travelers
from the Danube and the Seine found
ample comfort. Magistrates were spe-
cially appointed for the inspection of the
imperial caravansaries.
There were many hostelries in every
part of the empire which had no associa-
tion with the imperial government. The
inns in the City of Home were mostly
frequented by the ordinary refuge of
criminals and the gilded youth of the
depraved Patrician class, but they were
shunned by the respectable people.
The need of respectable hotels wastnot
felt to the same extent as with us. for
the hospitality of the Romans was so
widespread that every visitor to the Eter-
nal City v>; s sure <»f a welcome in some
private family. In this respeet Dallas
will not ! e outdone, particularly during
large gatherings, such as the Elks' conr
vention will be next year.
Catering for the Multitude.
Se\'< , il years ago Versailles gave a
banquet t<> the Mayors of France. On
this si on more than 220) were served
at one tune. On the day of the corona-
tion of the Czar and Czarina there were
fed at tl > Russi a tal, Bt. Petersburg,
between ."a.-mt and 40.GOO people at one
time. Probably the greatest number of
people served took place -t the invention
exhibiti'iu. I. ndon, on White Monday,
1888, where , ,<m»> people were served by
Messrs. Spiers and Pond, and carried out
with complete success.
Another great gastronomic fete that
imposes a str in upon 'he resources of
caterers which outsiders can but Imper-
fectly realize is when the Sultan visits
the Daluia Uagtehe Palace. Many thous-
ands of persons are served there three
limes a day. Tie- supplies are furnished
by the Sultan's own farms, some of tUem
covering miles in extent, both in Europe
and Asia. 1'.- persons are. aware ot"
the • \ tensive n it ure of the victualing on
board the great ocean steamers. For
the round trip voyag" ii takes many thou-
sands of tons of provisions and enough
wine nod spirits to float a good-sized
ship. These are only a few instance*;
on record of catering on a grand scale.

"Very few people realize how much a
cavalryman's horse adds to his happi-
ness," said one of the most experienced
Cavalry officers at Fort Sam Houston
yesterday. "Of course, there arc mean
men in the Cavalry as there are in any
other body of men of the same size, but
as a general thing, the Cavalrymen be-
comes attached to his horse and would
die in its defense. Often 1 have seen a
soldier slip a handful of sugar from the
mess hall and carry it to his horse.
"If a man loves horses and enlists In
the Cavalry lie will learn to love horses
even more. He in generally allowed to
pick a horse for himself so as to get
the kind of animal he wants. After
choosing his animal he breaks it into his
own way of being handled and then gen-
erally begins to teach him things.
"It is during the lonesome hours of a
Cavalryman's life when duty is light, that
he pays a great deal of attention to his
horse, often talking to him by the hour
as if he were a human. If the horse has
ordinary intelligence he will soon learn to
understand his master's ways and the
intelligence that some of them show is
littlu short of marvelous.
Mean Horses Trained,
"I have known some of the meanest
horses in the army to be trained into
gentle and extremely intelligent habits
by some soldier who had a peculiar fond-
ness for horses. It is often the case
that a very beautiful horse is found to
be mean and is not generally wanted by
the men. but let some soldier who loves
horses and understands their nature eome
along, and he will train the horse like a
child in a very short time."
Just h few days ago an orderly, who
whs detailed to guard two prisoners who
were mowing the lawn of an officer's yard,
approached his commanding officer,
saluted, and asked with a military air:
"Am 1 not guarding the two prisoners
who are mowing the Captain's lawn?"
"You are," answered his superior.
"May I guard them mounted?"
"Why do you wish to do so?" asked the
officer.
"Because I want to feed my horse the
grass. ' replied the orderly, and Wis re-
quest was quickly granted. A few mo-
ments later he was seen guarding the
prisoners while they mowed the lawn,
but whenever they got a small pile of
grass cut he would bring it for his horse
to eat and would pet the animal and talk
to it while ho was enjoying the green
forage.
A sergeant of the First Cavalry at Fort
Sam Houston has a beautiful bay horse
which he hns trained to understand with
what might be termed human intelligence.
The horse will answer his call bv a
neigh, it will eome to him when called
for, will paw the ground when told to do
so. and when his master talks to him
from an upper story window he will shake
his head, neigh and try his best to get up
to him. This sergeant says that before,
his horse is injured by any man the man
must first kill the horse's master.
