NEGOTIATIONS are being made for the ex-
tending and enlargement Of the IIord hotel.
The new "club' was resplendent last
night-the ladies were not present.
The engagement is announced OF Miss
Ella Fork and Mr.. Leopold Gugenheim.
Don't forget the B. B. A. complimentary
benefit tonight for Capt. Stevens.
Eight marriage licenses were issued last

The beautiful horn chair, which has been

If you want nice printing, and want it
turned out on short notice, call on the EVEN
ING LIGHT Office.
The ladies of the "Women's Christian
Temperance association" are preparing for
Duhl.c entertainment
AS the season for professional troupes to
visit US is about over the amateurs will now
have better chance.
1t is to be hoped that "our" senators in
congress will heed the prayer of our aesthetic
neighbor Of the Express.
The Express man seems to be anxious
about some good man being appointed U. 5.
marshal Of this district-why don't you stick
to Russell?
The railroad party consisting of Col. T. w.
Pierce, c. P. Huntington and a number Of
railroad officers of the Sunset and Southern
Pacific, went out this morning to the front.
The blending of the golden bloom of the
"weesatch" with the fresh, green foliage OF
other trees, is a feature Of opening spring.
The air is full of perfume of budding, bloom
ing spring.
Billy Hines, the former proprietor Of the
"Jewep' saloon and the caterer of the new
club, it seems, left several parties in the lurch;
of course the "club" will protect the innocent
sufferers.
The door to the front entrance Of the new
club is kept closed and properly guarded, but,
the windows are thrown open and the brilliant
illumination gives the public a chance to view
the magniGcence of this "modern paradise Of
aclub."
Among the cherubS who were amusing
themselves at the ''cub" last night we noticed
"his HONOR" with his suspenders down and
his sleeves rolled up-collar button loosened-
punching billiards with an old-time vigor that
augurs fourth term ambition.
The editor of the Express calls General
Grant bankrupt gambler; the editor of that
paper has evidently become soured in conse-
quence Of the limited circle of respectable peo-
pie his acquaintance extends to, and he hopes
to gain favor in new quarters by throwing
mud at people far beyond his reach. Don't
tryit, Frankly.
The San Antonio Express often NEEDLES
in matters where it has no concern; as, for in
stance the appointment of federal officials. Its
support coming largely from republicans, it
imagines it has right to dip in now and then.
No republican of respectability or prominence
has escaped the little puppy attacks of that
sheet, from General Grant down.
The new "club" has one very objection
able feature-suggestng a horrible contin-
gency. The escape from the rooms in case
of fire, is very inadequate, and should such a
calamity as fire or even an alarm of fire oc-
cur during some evening when "our leading
and influential citizens are all absorbed in the
elysium of this ''modern paradise of a
club room," there is no estimating
the consequences. The distance from
the windows to the pavement is most too
high for safe jump, and especially for an
influential citizen" To obviate this obiec-
ton, SCALING ladders should be swung from
each window; they could be drawn up beyond
xl,o Il 60 IL.
