Ths Fair a Fmiluro

We are sorry 10 state that tho en-.
desv0r 10 have . tair in this city the
coming tall has proved = failure.
Every effort has been made BY the more
enterprisius portion Of our people to SO.
cure enough Interest in tho matter to
have tar, but they have not met with
any encouragement from the business
portion Of the community, and their ct
forts have gone Tor nothing.
All preliminary arrangements hid
been made for the fair, premium lists
printed, 4 good lot Of premiums and
special premiums offered, aud all that
was lacking to complete arrangements
was the SUN OF S2,5OO. A committee OF
our most prominent citizens was ap.
pointed to solicit subscriptions, aud 10,
stead Of our business men coming forward
aud subscribing the amount, all the
committee could raiso 10 the city Of San
Antonio was the pitiful sum Of 800.
1t IL 4 shame aud disgrace to our city.
We have tried hard to make Ourselves
and others believe that there was sons
enterprise in this city, but we have to
give It up. II the merchants of this
city cannot afford to give $500 to an
enterprise that will make them five times
that amount oil money, the sooner. the
people OF this city cease to make snyef
forts for advancement the better,
There seems to a feeling of pitilul
jealousy existing between our; business
men-one fearing smother. will make
dollar more out of the fair than he will,
and rather thun have such thing hap
pen. he would >quelch the whole thing
This " the dog in the manger" feeling
which preGo dominates in this community,
and San Antonio will never amount to
so long as such a feeling exists,
The above, which we clip from the
San Antonio Times, would seem to iudi
cate that even the largest city in Tex
as" in the midst Of its greatest boom"
is not entirely lovely or happy,

could utilize your old tomato can as q

Or. you could take LOBSTER can and
bore ,hrcc holes at equal distances in
the sides close to the opened end
Then cover the can as thickly as you
need with the fue plastic material
used in the manufacture of cheap statu

fashion it in graceful and beautiful dc.

chains in three holes and hang 1t to II

A Premium for Scorpion Scalps.

A Durango correspondent describes .
terrible scorpion, known as the alacran,
which infests that region. Its sting is
mortal in every case, and no remedy has
ever been found to counteract its deadly
poison. The spasms are so violent that
it takes three or four strong men to
hold patient stung by it. Happily
the suffering is short, for after two or
three hours the suffering is all over.
Patients emit from their mouth a
greenish-yellow scum, which turns into
black spongy matter in short while.
Every year thirty or more deaths are
recorded as the work of the alacran.
The government pays premium for
their scalp, and boys hunt them and de
rive quite revenue from that source,
but the pest does not seem to diminiyh
any. They are said to occupy but a
small belt of land running east and
west, taking in Durango and Mazatlan.

To the MINING JoURNAL
think you are sufficiently versed
in the Bible to know that it contains
the historical fact that the Jews had
gambling tables in the forehalls Of
their Temple in Jerusalem, and that
Jesus Christ interfered and denoun-
ced the crime of gambling.
This vice is going on in lifferent To-
calities and in different shape now,
and at an alarming extent. Serious
consequences will come sooner or later,
If you will give your attention to
the performances and contests Of
base ball clubs you will have nc
trouble in detecting what is transp'r-
ing on the part of the bystanders;
how they bet on one side or the ether;
how the passions Of the boys and
young men ara aroused; low betting,
swearing, fighting, and, after the per
foimance, drinking, weighs heavily
against the moral and benofcent re-
suits of bodily exercise. 1t seems we
have no officers of the law to prevent
dog, chicken and other fights, and the
sooner our grand jury take this mat
ter in hand the better. ORDER.
