ONE of the most convenient articles to
be used in a sick room is a sand bag.
Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thor
oughly in kettle on the stove, make a
bag about eight inches square of flannel
fill it with dry sand, sew the cover care
fully, aud cover the bag with cation or
linen CLOTH This will prevent the sand
from sitting out, and will also enable
you to heat the bag quickly by placing
it in the oven or even on the top of the
stove. After once using this you will
never Eagain attempt to warm the feet
or hands OF a sick person with a bottle
of hot water or brick. The sand holds
the heat for long time, and the bag can
be tucked up the back without hurting
the invalid. It is a good plan to make
to or three of these bags and keep them
ready for use.

For two years, perhaps, we
have had the richest, largest,
mostvaried andmost eXhaus-
tive collection of dress-goods
in Philadelphia. Before that,
we may have had the largest,
and even the most exhaus-
tive, but perhaps not the
richest. The slowest trade
to come to a new merchant
is the trade of luxury. 1t is
the slowest to change from
one to another. But it does
change.
We may say our dress
goods Of all sorts are at
about their highest now.
Second aud third circles, southeast
from center.
Silks of all sorts have
come; and never were silks
more acceptable. And these
words have a meaning here
beyond any they could have
elsewhere; because of the
greater variety of wants that
look to US for supply. We
must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quail
ties of those styles; and, as
to colors, can you think of
one that we can do without?
A store that has only one
class of trade can get along
with comparatively few silks.
Which stock would you
rather buy out of?
Next outer circle south entrance
to main building.
Two damask towels at Is
and IS cents may serve to
show what we gain by buy
ing of the makers. The very
same towels are in the whole
sale trade in New York at
about 2I and 22 cents, which
means at least IS cents at
retail.
We are not going to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York wholesale;
nothing of the sort. More
than one swallow to make a
summer" But where such
towels are to be got for IS
rents is a good place to look
for bed and table-linen, and
all the other linens. That's
what we mean exactly; it's
true, too.
Outer circle. City hall square entrance.
A very wide and surpris.
ingly good navy-blue twilled
flannel for so cents; 45-inch.
Do you remember a 35-
cent flannel for IS cents, of
which we had 1900 yards
last fall? Afterward we got
1000 yards more Of it; and
a little of it is left yet. That
is 23-inch. This wide fan
mel is fully as good as that.
Third circle, southeast from center.
All the warmer sorts of
underwear are ready; for
men, women and children;
thiCk-Cotton, merino, wool,
and silk. All the sorts need
ed for all sorts of people
with all sorts of notions;
and, for people who want 1t,
there is quite a little wit
about underwear to be pick
I'D up at the counter. Where
else would you look for it?
Not in books surely; for
goods are changing all the
time; and so get ahead of
books.

r. q. Guilbeau's Fine Stock.

The "New York Sportsman" has the fol-
lowing to say of purchases of fine stock by F..
G. Guilbeau, of our city:
B. J. Tracy, Ashland Park, has sold to F..
G. Guilbeau, San Antonio, Texas. The b S
Mambrno Howard, 3 years, by Towards
Mambrino out Of Miss Coons, by Clark Chief.
He will be used as a stallion in Mr.. Guilbeau' S
stud (alluded to elsewhere). and is one OF the
most promising young totters that has left
Kentucky in long time. Live stock interest
in Texas like everywhere else) increases
e-ery year, and this horse will do his share
towards the..improvement of the trotting stock
in the Lone Star state.
Treacy & Wilson sold to F. Guilbeau, San
Antonio, Texas, chestnut mare, years, by
Strathmore, dam said to be by ed Glencoe,
and gray mare, S years, by Bowyer's Nam
brine Pilot, dam by Kavanaughs Grey Eagle
They are both fine and stylish roadsters, and
Mr.. Guilbeau will use them as such for
season, when they will join selected stud
which he is now gathering. They also sold to
b. F. Dane, San Antonio, Texas, brown
mare, years, by Andy Johnson, dam by
Brignoii.
Messrs Dane & Guilbeau came very near
taking blue grass farm with them, as their
car contained besides the trotters, some Short
horn cattle, Southdown sheep and game
chickens.

Thinning Out.

An old citizen remarked this morning, upon
hearing of the death Of Mr.. Erastus Reed,
"a good many old citizens have died this
year"
Yes, the old citizens are thinning out, and
but very few years will elapse when there
shall remain very few of the active men and
women who have sustained the life and energy
of our city for the past twenty-five years.
To those OF us who have lived here during
the past twenty-five or thirty years, the death
Of the sold CITIZEN is marked with keen re-
Election. We know they are passing away
and we must find among the new population
association and friendship if we linger on the
stage of action.
We glance back over the history of our city
for the past thirty years, and see much that
might have been done to improve and beauti-
fly our city; we see the mistakes of our old
citizens hid bare to view.
There is one honorable record, however, to
point to-a strictly mercantile community, it
has been an honest one, solvent one, and it
has been just such men as Erastus Reed who
have contributed to this honorable record Of
years of mercantile life in San Antonio. As a
journalist We have oft, time and again, called
the attention of our old citizens to the transit
tory nature of our existence and urged upon
them the most liberal ideas in order that their
eyes might look upon beautiful city, fit
home for their children. We know how hard
it is for men to let lose their grip upon bust
ness. We can now embrace within our minds
eye a number of old ciGzens who are likely to
perish within the next few years, perish in the
midst of their daily struggle in business; we
would not have them surrender their active
lite, but we would like to enfuse them with a
spirit of public enterprise that would yield
them pleasant reflections at the last hour.

Mr.. Erastus Reed, ST., died this morning at
his residence, in this city, at half-past 4
o'clock, after only few days illness.
Mr.. Reed was in his 56th year, and had
been an active, energetic man all his life. He
came to San Antonio about 20 or
20 years ago, and has resided here most Of
the time except during the war, when he was
a resident of Boerne, Kendall county. For
the past ten or twelve years ne has been en-
gagged in the furniture business and has been
the largest dealer in that line in our city, his
establishment being one of the most extensive
lin the state He has been cut off in the
midst of busy, successful life, and leaves
large family to mourn his departure, and to
keep green his memory. He ranked in the
foremost rank Of our citizens, as a man of
sound sense, enterprise and probity. He
was genial and pleasant, to everyone. and one
OF the kindest Of men.
If we could soften the blow that has fallen
upon his devoted wife and children by a single
word of solace, we would not spare our words;
but we can only repeat the general regret of
the public who feel Mr.. Reeds death to be a
public loss.

A City Outrage.

We have complained of the outrage Of
leaving the filth and mud taken from the
bitches on the streets for weeks, instead of
being carted off. Yesterday some carts were
at work taking off this mud on North Flores
street. At the corner of North Flores and
Belvin streets thrifty chicken dealer had just
purchased lot, and brilliant idea struck
him that he could fill in his lot with
this filth and cost him nothing.
So the carts were set to work
hauling the dirt first across the street and pill
ing it up in Schwartz lot, forming bed of
muck to throw off its disease, breeding germs
through the summer. A city government run
in such loose style is disgrace to an inteli-
gent community.

Mr.. Harrison, the young preacher, has been

A newspaper item says: "It is horrible
taste to have mirrors in the parlor." Just SO;
and it has taken great many years to make
the discovery. The space occupied by $500
or $500 mirror should be devoted to two or
three old china plates, worth about IS cents
apiece, and about as beautiful as pine.board
fence.-Norristown Herald.
When we stand by and watch fellow wrest-
ling with telephone for IS minutes, finally to
throw it down with a vicious jerk and entirely
irrelevant of language, you think it is mighty
good joke; but when you have the same exper-
fence, FIVE minutes later, you can't see no fun
in it. Fun is only relative matter, after all.
Boston Transcript
Garibald is reported to be a great sufferer
from bronchitis, and his death at an early day
would not come. Unexpectedly. The veteran
patriot had bad fail while ago, which,
however, did not permanently disable him.
The general was enjoying a ride about the is
land of Caprera, where he makes his home,
in two wheeled chair drawn by a servent.
when suddenly, on an inclined part of the
road, the vehicle was overturned. Possibly
the attendants were careless. The force with
which he struck on the rocky ground made
the aged and feeble man unconscious, but the
servants, and Garibaldi's sen, sManlio. who
was hsing near by, dashed water in his face,
and he presently recovered. The news of
the accident created some excitement in Rome,
where rumor made il out TO be worse than the
reality.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

In the senate, Vance offered reso-
luton calling for information concern
ing misconduct of internal revenue Of
fcers in North Carolina; objected to
by Hoar and dropped.
Morgan's resolution in regard to
tests of heavy ordnance was taken up.
Hawley suggested that too much
printing would be required. Morgan
charged that the ordnance bureau was
in the hands of a ring interested in
certain inventions, and he wanted the
general public to have chance. Haw-
ley said that the charge of the senator
was based on misrepresentation of
disappointed inventors. Hoar said it
would cost $5oo,oo in printing to car
ry out Morgan's resolution. Morgan
stuck to his charge, but the resolution
was laid aside.
The three per cent. bond bill was
taken up and discussed. Until the
bill is finally passed its features will not
be understood.
The 27th of February was fixed as
the day for Garfield memorial SER
vices.
In the house, the Garfield memorial
resolution passed.
Hill of N. J., introduced a bill re-
ducing letter postage.
An appropriation of $4,000 was
made to distribute pure vaccine virus
to the people.
The postoftice appropriation bill
was taken up in committee of the
whole.

The Brennan Banner rec;tes the
terrible condition of the roads through
out the country, and lays the blame to
the democratic road law. eve call it
democratic as it is the law the bour-
bons substituted for the road tax
law existing during republican rule).
The Banner says:
The road overseer gets no pay for
his work, and his neighbors-who are
subject to road duty, take occasion to
get mad at him when he asks them out
to work. In repairing the.roads little
or no attention is paid to drainage and
this is the one great secret of the bad
condition of many of our county roads;
they should be thrown up, ditched on
each side and culverts, put in where
necessary; the Doggy places usually
have no drainage and they are the
chief cause of the roads being impass-
able. AT this season of the year, when
an empty wagon can not be hauled, it
is useless to talk about road-work, dry
weather will accomplish it, but while
people are in the notion of doing some
thing, arrangements might be made for
repairing the roads when the weather
gets dry.
The real difficulty lies not so much
with the road overseers and road
hands as it does with the road law,
which to say the least is unjust Un-
der the law every man between the
ages of IS and As years is subject to
work on the roads ten days each year.
Suppose land owner has fifty ten
ants on his land that are subject to
road duty, they are liable to ten days
road service each year, which is equiv
alent to 500 days labor, or $500 con-
tributed by tenants, who are paying
rent to the landlord, while he himself
pays no road tax other than the ten
days work, if he be under IS years of
age, otherwise he pays nothing. This
is certainly unequal taxation, and if
unequal, unjust. The land owners as a
matter of course favor the present
road law, but the existing condition of
the roads and bridges show it to be
failure. The road question should
be thoroughly discussed by farmers
and town people aud the next legisla-
ture should be called upon to amend
the law and devise some means by
which the roads can be kept in some
sort of repair at all seasons of the
year.
The road Legislation is like every.
thing else done by the democracy, it
has proven a failure. The idea of Or
ganizing a, state policy upon no better
principle than antagonism to all that
had been done by the republicans
it was bound to end in disgrace and
disaster.
