DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN.
The City Loses a Man Who Was for 20
Years Its Collector,

The death of Mr.. Julius Hoyer for many
years collector for the city, occurred yesterday
afternoon. Although expected by reason of
his long failing health, due to bronchitis his
decease is a matter of public regret.
The details of Mr.. Hoyer's life are somewhat
meagre. He was born in Sagan, Schlesien,
Germany, in 1920. lie arrived in Texas in 1916,
and Joined the rangers. When, in the follow
ing year, the rangers passed through this city
en- route for Mexico Mr.. Hoyer was left here
sick, and from that time he remained citizen
of San Antonio. After engaging in several
branches of business he became justice-of-the
peace, and about 20 years ago he was elected
city collector, which Office he held until last
January, when, his term having expired, he re-
fused to become candidate for reelection,
owing to continued i'll health.
The deceased was married in early life to an
estimabe German lady, and has eight children,
Mrs, Wild, Gustave, Julia, Charles, Paul, Ida,
the charming petite cantratice, Edward and
Amelia.
Mr.. HOyer's character as an officer and as a
man was high in the estimation of the citizens.
He will long be remembered with feelings OF
regret by his many friends.
The funeral takes place at 800 p. IN. from the
late residence of the deceased ut the corner of
Alamo aud GOiiad streets.

Another Misrepresentation

The San Marcos correspondent of the Austin
Statesman on the 18th inst, telegraphed that
DR.. Blakemore had reported a genuine case of
smallpox, at the college, in Miss Malone from
Bee county, and intmates that the young lady
was infected while staying at the Hord hotel
1t is quite true that the lady did STAY
there for few hours, but she
then slept in the room adjoining that
occupied by Mr.. Wolfe, the proprietor, and his
wife and family, and there was no opportunity
of catching the contagion at that hotel be-
cause, in the first place, there was no source
from which she could have been so infected
and, moreover, no other guest of the hotel have
had no indications of the disease.
The correspondent, or doctor, had no doubt
read the idle and unfounded rumor that there
was contagion at the Hord hotel, and without
investigation concluded that it was the source
of Miss Malone's illness.
The medical authorities clearly show that
the Hord hotel has been and is free from infec-
cion, but such unfounded reports uncontradct-
ed are likely to do the hotel land citizens in
jury by driving away intending visitors to the
city.

conversation in connection with the Presi-
dency.
Governor Ben Butler has also been here and

Democratic aspirant, and would really be the
strongest man the Democrats could put forth.
But already the Governor realizes his chances
are growing dim, and that in another year he
will have to step down from the Governorship

sufficient to 60 into the Democratic con-
vention.
TEXAS CRANKs.
Washington has always been noted for its
queer characte and half crazy people, who
necessarily tramp up and down its hard walks,
through its departments and that labyrinthian
building known as the Capitol. see fewer
Of these creatures than usual. Death has no
doubt thinAed out their ranks, and the Gut
teau affair has caused the authorities to take
care of them. But have encountered two or
three cranks calling themselves Texans"
They have no home in Texas and perhaps never
had, but they may have been in the State once
on time, and have ever since taken the name
Of our great State as their stock in trade.
And Texas gets credit for them. Lack of
means drives these fellows to desperate ex-
pedients, and they haunt hotel rotundas to beg
or attempt blackmail upon newly arrived
Texans, whom they..endeavor to impress with
their professed great influence at headquarters.
The bouncers at the hotels spot these fellows
and they are not infrequently politely re-
quested to vacate. But they find some listen
ers and are capable of doing some mischief.
What want understood is, Texas is not re-
sponsible for them-in fact, Texas is not
responsible for any man who becomes a resi-
dent of Washington and hanger on about
its public places. Texas is entitled to fair
share of the places, but it would be hard to
find good, capable men in Texas who would
come here to live on department clerkship.

AMATEUR COMPOSING.
Tribulations of the Fort Worth Gazette
With Non-Union Printers


The Fort Worth Gazette has had some
trouble with the local printers union, and as a
result the union printers have all "struck.''
The Gazette for the time being is reduced in
size and considerable difficulty has been ex-
experienced in continuing it in that form.
Below is specimen of the composition in
the Gazette by non-union or ''rat'' printers:

the house, and not finding her suspected she
had fallen into Burnt Bridge creek. She
gave the alarm, and the men at Palmer

body 200 yards below. Efforts were made
to revive the child but it had been in the
water too long, and life was extinct. Harry

The New SUFFRAGE LAw.-Under the
new suffrage law, women in the Territory
belonging to either of the following classes
are entitled to vote and hold office:
LIST. Those above the age of twenty-one
years who were born in the United States.
2nd. Those not born in the United States,
but whose fathers were naturalized therein
while they were minors.
Bird. Those not belonging to the LIST or
End class, but who are, or have been mar
ried to citizens of the United States
In all cases, residence in the Territory
six months next proceeding the day of
election, and thirty days in the county is
required.
Women not belonging to any of the classes
specified above, must make declaration to
become citizens ''at least six months previ.

There may not be many women in the

ment, but there are undoubtedly some, and
they should attend to it at once in case they
desire to vote or hold any office.
Some men will also do well to attend to
this requirement of the law.
